Unit8 II. Listening Skills To keep our children safe from those dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission from their caregiver before they go anywhere .They should not only tell the care giver where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them. also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should travel in groups whenever possible. more importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say “no” and run, scream, or fight if necessary. moreover,children should be told that no problem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups. in fact,it is never too late to ask for help ,and to keep asking until they get the help they need. last but not least ,we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister’s boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.

Speaking Out Model 1 Bye-bye, bully! Se-Jin: john, do you mind if I ask you something? John: No, what is it? Se-Jin: you seem nervous. Is that big guy still bullying you? John: Yeah. Today he wanted me to give him some money. He even pushed me when I said no. Se-Jin: That’s terrible! You have to talk to a teacher about this. John: I thought about that, but I’m afraid that everyone will think I’m a coward. Se-Jin: your safety is more important than what other people think. John; But telling a teacher could make things worse. The big guy warned me not to . Se-Jin: Of course he did! He doesn’t want to get into trouble. Look, if you’re still worried, tell the teacher not to mention your name when she talks to him. John: Good idea. But I think I can deal with him on my own. SAMPLE DIALOG A: Hi, can I talk to you for a minute? B: Sure, what is it? A: You look worried. Are you still being bullied by that big boy in you class? B: Yeah. Today he asked me to help him cheat in the final exam. A: That’s too bad! You have to talk with your parents about it. B:I thought about that, but I’m afraid that other people will laugh at me if I turn to my parents for help. A: Don’t be silly. It’s more important to protect yourself. B: Maybe you are right. I should tell this to my parents, and they will give me some advice. Model 2 My house has been robbed! Operator: Colchester Police Station. Can I help you? Jane: I hope so. My house has been robbed. Operator: Where do you live? Jane: 2B Southbank Road. Operator: When did you discover the burglary Jane: When I got home from work. About five minutes ago. Operator: Was anything stolen? Jane: yes.

Their fake liquors have already killed several people. Peter: Yeah, that’s too high a price to pay. It’s almost a rip-off. The bootleggers use industrial alcohol to cut costs and increase profits. Jane: Perhaps we should cut taxes on liquor. With lower taxes, bootlegging will decrease. Peter: But that can create a new problem. That’s not in agreement with the WTO rules. Jane: I think through negotiation with other nations, perhaps we can cut taxes under the WTO framework. Peter: That may be tough. Perhaps a better solution is to create harsher sentences for bootleggers. Jane: I agree. Our country needs a special team to deal with this problem. Then we can crack down on bootlegging. SAMPLE DIALOG A: It’s time the government took stricter standards control on cosmetic products. The low quality cosmetics have caused various skin diseases among users. B: Yeah, the producers use harmful ingredients to lower costs and add profits. A: Perhaps taxes on cosmetics should be cut. With lower taxes, low quality cosmetic products will be less profitable and decrease. B: But there is a new problem. Cutting taxes goes against the WTO rules. A: I think by negotiating with other countries we can reduce taxes. B: That may be hard. Maybe the best idea is to take stricter standards control on cosmetic products. A: I agree. We should have some regulations to keep a check on the production and marketing of cosmetic. V. Let’s Talk Texas Police Arrest Oldest Bank Robber Texas police say they have arrested a 90-yeard-old man, Henry Robert, who is accused of robbing a bank, probably making him the oldest bank robber in U.S. history. Police said Robert, who was not armed, asked a teller to put money into a large envelope with the word “robbery” written on it. A witness took down on the license number of his car, and he was arrested on a highway about 15 miles outside the city. If he is proved guilty, Robert will face from ten to twenty years in prison. He told police he needed the money, and he had a complaint against banks. Robert left a prison in Florida, where he was the oldest prisoner in the state, about a year ago. Before that, he served a three-year sentence for a bank robbery in Florida in 1999. In a prison interview with a journalist, Robert said he had been a businessman in Texas but had fallen on hard times. He said he robbed his first bank when he was about 80 because he wanted to revenge against banks. “A bank that I’d done business with had forced me into bankruptcy. I have never liked banks since,” he told the journalist.” I decided I would get even. And I have.” 4 5 6 8 3 2 1 Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s Reference As the title suggests, the 90-year-old Henry Robert the Texas Police arrested may turn out to be the oldest bank robber in history. Let me describe him from the very beginning. When he was 80 years old he robbed his first bank in Florida because he wanted to get even with banks. For this robbery he received a three-year sentence in a Florida prison in 1999. A year ago he was set free. However, he continued with his outlaw career. In Texas, he robbed again, using an envelope labeled “Robbery”. He asked the teller to put money into the envelope. Unluckily for him, a witness took down the license number of his car that was parked outside. So he was arrested on a highway not far away from the city. He is now 90 years old, and therefore he is probably the oldest bank robber in American history. If proved guilty, he will be sentenced to ten to twenty years in prison. VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: Describing a Robbery Detective: Okay, Ms. Brown, just calm down. Could you start from the beginning and tell me what happened? Janet: Well, let’s see. I was sitting at the table near the window when two men rushed in and told everyone to freeze. Detective: Can you describe the man？ Janet: One was tall and with a long coat on. The other was shorter in a red jacket. Detective: After they burst in what did they do? Janet: Well. The tall one pointed his gun at the clerk and told him to open the cash register. The short one was watching the rest of us. The clerk hesitated a minute and just then the restaurant manger came out of his office. That surprised the thieves. Detective: Yeah, let’s see… The manger’s name is Mr. Jackson. I guess he had the key to the safe? Janet: Yeah! That’s right! Because the thieves told him to open the safe. The short one went with him. As the manger turned to go back to the office, he told the clerk to cooperate with him. Detective: Did the boss open up the safe? Janet: Yeah, he went back into the office and opened it. He seemed pretty calm, not like the customers. I think that guy deserves a medal or something. Sam: You all do. Living through a robbery is a tough experience. 1. everyone freeze 2. tall long coat shorter red jacket 3. his gun the clerk open 4. 5. Task 2: Two Concert Tickets After shopping for most of the day, a couple return to find their car has been stolen. They go to the police station to make a full report. Then, a police officer drives them back to the parking lot to see if any evidence can be found at the scene of the crime. To their surprise, the car has been returned. There is an envelope on the windshield with a note of apology and two tickets to a concert. The note reads, “I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having a baby and I had to use your car to rush her to the hospital. Please forgive the inconvenience. Here are two tickets for tonight’s concert.” The couple feel relieved. After all, most human beings are kind, they think. They go to the concert and return home late. They find their house has been robbed. Valuable goods have been taken. And there is a note on the door reading, “Well, you still have your car. I have to put my newly-born kid through college somehow, don’t I?” 1. B 2. C 3.A 4. D 5. A Task 3: Who stole the vase? Amy, the richest woman in town, threw a party. It was crowded and turned out to be a huge success, until about 12:00 a.m. That’s when Amy noticed that her valuable vase was missing from the entry hall table. When the police chief arrived, he asked each visitor to make a statement. Phillip McDonald stepped forward, saying, “I was one of the first to arrive, about the sane time as Julie Becker. I never once left the house. If people don’t remember me, it’s because I spent most of time in a bedroom, watching a basketball game.” The chief took down what Phillip’s said, then told him he could go. Rod Bush was the next. He also claimed that he had never left the house, though he did step out onto a second story balcony, but it was so cold that he came back in immediately. Julie Becker was the third to make a statement She also claimed never to have left or seen anything. “I spent much of the party moving from group to group and eating the various tables.” The chief told her to leave, too, and watched as she went into the hall and took her coat from the top of a crowded coat rack. Now the chief started to suspect one of the three guests. 1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.A Speaking Protecting Intellectual Property Rights Richard: I understand why publishing houses have called for a crack down on illegal copies of books. It’s a big loss for them if everyone buys pirated books instead of paying the full price. Nancy: I agree. If the publishers don’t take action against illegal publications, they and the authors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by lowering the quality of their books. Richard: That’s why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not only for the publishers, but to consumers as well. Nancy: You said it. I’m all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books are getting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheap books. Richard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then say they can’t afford books. Nancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsher punishments.
