Part 2 Paages
Paage 1 a young waiter
The most interesting part of the little town was the market square, which was surrounded by cafes, restaurants and small shops full of all kinds of cheap goods likely to attract tourists.At this time of the year it was not very crowded.It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs* of smoke, in the sky.It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm.Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes.After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes, a young waiter, not much more than a boy, came to take their order.He spoke no English, but after a lot of laughter and pointing at the menu, they thought they had managed to make him understand that all they wanted was ice cream.There were several flavors*, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla* and they both chose coffee, “I love coffee ice cream,” said Ana.After a little while the waiter returned.He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann.There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray.“We didn't order coffee,” said Edward croly*, “we ordered coffee ice cream.He ought to be able to understand simple English.” The waiter smiled and looked pleased.“No,” said Ann laughing, “it's his country.We ought to be able to speak his language.”

Paage 2 greeting and introductions
Greetings and introductions are an eential aspect of US culture.The importance of which can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman.However, in the busine world introductions are based on a person's rank* or position in a company.Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position.If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know le well lo the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself.For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an aociate*, you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello!I am...' If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not aume* that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be neceary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new people.Rarely they shake hands while parting, As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kiing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite.Try to avoid using any filthy*, sexually explicit* stories or jokes.When you are in a theatre, it's not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Exercise: Listen to the paage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.B

Par2 Retelling
The children had desperately wanted to go to the circus.Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening.First the men had put up tile big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field, the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised.Sometimes, to their delight, two young women stood on the horses' backs and galloped round and round.But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into them lions' cage.The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling.At last the opening night came round.Then the most terrible thing happened;their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus.The children were unable to make her change her mind, and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were miing.Exercise: Listen to the paage and then retell it in your own words.You will hear the paage only once.Section Four Supplementary Exercises
Part 1 Listening Comprehension The native people of North and South America were given the name ”Indians“ by the explorer Christopher Columbus*.He thought he had reached a place called the Indies.In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used.About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today.Some Indians live on government lands called reservations*, or on tribal* lands.Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live.But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good.About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs.Those who do have jobs earn le than other Americans.Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs.Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans.But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated.Today, most native Americans graduate from high school.At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes* create businees on their lands.One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast.The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino*, and a museum of its culture and history.Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government.This includes control over hunting and fishing rights, and mining* operations.They are trying to protect their land from pollution.And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them.American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor* their culture.Exercise: Listen to the paage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.C

Paage 2 British postmen and milkmen
British postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful.As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their brisk* knocking and bright whistling may get on your nerves.Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured.This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no downstairs letterbox.If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it.That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but neverthele he has his problems too.It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way Io an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer.In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impoible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague.Most country people keep a dog.Although there may be a notice on the gate, “BEWARE OF THE DOG,” this is of little help to the postman~ He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not.So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.Exercise: Listen to the paage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences, I.B
