TapescriptThe ideal teacher may be young or old, tall or short, fat or thin. He should know his subject, but he can make mistakes if he is willing to learn. His personality is as important as his scholarship. The ideal teacher must be enthusiastic. He must never teach anything he himself is not interested in. He should be a bit of an actor and he should not be afraid to show his feelings and express his likes and dislikes. He must like his students and respect them, but he must also respect himself and take pride in his work. Otherwise, he cannot respect his students and win respect from them. The ideal teacher should have an understanding of his students and be able to relate to them. He needs students' understanding' too. The ideal teacher should be kind, encouraging, and helpful and he should motivate his students to seek knowledge. The ideal teacher should see his students as individuals and acknowledge their differences. He must know how to encourage the self-development and growth of each of his students. The ideal teacher is one who grows, learns, and improves himself along with his students. So what about the teachers around you? Passage 2The Open University in BritainI. TapescriptNowadays the Open University in Britain plays an important role in British education. In 1963 the leader of the Labour Party made a speech explaining a plan for a 'university of the air an educational institution which would make use of television, radio and correspondence courses to give educational opportunity to those people who, for one reason or another, did not have a chance to receive further education. But at that time many people laughed at the plan.By 1969 the plan was well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received forty thousand applications. But only twenty-four thousand could be accepted then for the four introductory courses: social sciences, arts, science and mathematics. Many clerks, farm workers, housewives, teachers, policemen attended the first class over the radio or on TV in January 1971. Meanwhile study centers were set up all over the country so that students could spend one week a year at one of the university's summer schools.It is probably the cheapest and most far-reaching method to promote education.Lesson 2PART B Macro-ListeningPassage ITeachers' ComplaintsI. TapescriptTeachers often complain that students don't do their homework properly and that they are constantly arriving at school red-eyed and yawning due to lack of sleep.It appears that there are two main explanations for this phenomenon. Firstly, many young children stay up late to watch television. Programs suitable for them may finish as late as eight o'clock. No child wants to be an exception in an age of conformity and admit not having seen what everybody else has. Secondly, a growing number of older children, particularly those approaching school-leaving age, are taking uppart-time jobs mainly involving evening or weekend work. They feel that working experience, not academic qualifications, will help them find jobs on leaving school. One can sympathize with both groups of children but it doesn't make a teacher's life any easier.Passage 2Education in the U.S.A.I. TapescriptEducation in the United States is usually divided into four levels. These are early childhood, elementary, secondary, and higher education. School attendance is required in every state of the country, and in most states students must attend school until the age of 16.The first level is early childhood education. Its main purpose is to prepare children for school.The second level is elementary education. Education at this level is divided into six or eight grades, and children learn reading, arithmetic, writing, social studies and science. They also have art, music and physical education.The third level is secondary education. It is for junior and senior high school students. Some students take courses to prepare themselves for college. Other students take technical or vocational courses that prepare them for jobs after they graduate from high school.Higher education continues after high school. There are many kinds of institutions of higher education. Technical institutes offer two-year programs in electronics, engineering, business and other subjects. After two years at a junior college, students receive an associate degree and then they can continue at a four-year college.Lesson 3PART B Macro-ListeningPassage 1We Wish You a Pleasant FlightI. TapescriptGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. May I draw your attention to the 'Safety in Flight' leaflet which you'll find in the pocket at the back of the seat in front of you and we do ask that you read it. You'll also find a 'Flightpath' magazine which you may find of interest. For those of you not familiar with this type of aircraft, smoking is permitted on the right hand side of the passenger cabin once the signs at the front of the cabin have been turned off, and at no time in the toilet which is situated at the rear of the aircraft. We have a duty-free bar on board and cigarettes, spirits, beer and mineral water will be on sale during the flight. If you have any questions during the flight please do not hesitate to ask your two hostesses. Would you now please ensure that your seat belts are securely fastened in preparation for take-off? May we wish you a pleasant flight! Thank you.Passage 2Here Is Your Weekend GuideI. TapescriptHere is your weekend guide to what is going on at the University of Colorado ...And it is a good weekend for basketball. The Colorado Buffaloes will play the Oklahoma Sooners Fridaynight at Oklahoma, and they will return home to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday night on the University of Colorado court. The Buffaloes are expected to win both games and fans. Tickets are available from the ticket office at the sports arena.There are also a few tickets available for the Saturday night concert by Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band. Most of the tickets are ten dollars, although a very few five-dollar seats are still on sale. To reserve seats, call the Student Union at 666-5771, or stop by the box office.The university museum will be open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. In addition to the famous rock and mineral collection and the exhibits of early people, there will be a special exhibit of American Indian pottery and sand painting. Admission is free.And now a report on snow conditions at area ski resorts. Snow Valley is reporting good conditions with six inches of new snow in the last twenty-four hours; Pine Mountain is reporting good conditions with eight inches of new snow; and the Oak Creek Canyon Resort is reporting very good conditions with nine inches of new snow.This has been the weekend guide.

TapescriptPubs are supposed to be the Englishman's favorite meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends over a pint of beer and talk about football, or horse racing, or business.You may notice that the pub is the place for men, but not for women. Even now it is still not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to escort and protect her. Perhaps that's partly why pubs depress me they are intended mainly to provide for male interests, which are often pretty narrow. I think this male-dominated atmosphere also reminds me of my life back at school, or in the army, neither of which is an experience I much want to relive.However, I'm obviously in the minority. Most Englishmen have their local pubs, where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky, tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid. Indeed, many men dream of retiring from their 9- 5 jobs and buying a little country pub, where they imagine they'll be the host of a seven-nights-a-week party. This dream usually dies when cleaning up spilled beer at one o'clock in the morning.Still, there's a pub for every type of man, from the city sophisticate to the rural primitive, and a man for every type of pub. And I must admit that, for someone who doesn't like them, I've spent a lot of time in pubs of various kinds.Passage 2A Bread-and-Butter LetterI. TapeseriptDear Mrs Johnson,It is a pleasure to write this letter because it gives me an opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed your hospitality last weekend. It was my first visit to an American family and, at first, I was very anxious about my limited English and my knowledge of American customs, Then I saw you and your children waiting for me at the station with warm smiles of welcome on your faces. I immediately knew that everything was going to be all right. You and your wonderful family put me at ease right away.There are many happy memories of the weekend that I will keep with me forever. Above all, I will remember that you made me feel at home. There were so many new and different things for me to see and do. I particularly enjoyed driving through the countryside with Mr Johnson and you and seeing the charming colors of the leaves on the trees. I liked playing baseball with your sons, Jimmy and Joey. They were very patient with me and full of fun. Tell them I will teach them how to play soccer next time. I also had a good time at the community square dance on Saturday night. It was my first square dance, and I cannot forget how friendly and kind everyone around was.I am back at school again now and I am very happy because I know now a real American family and it is one of the nicest families I have ever met. Because my English is still not very good, I cannot express my feelings better. I can only say ‗Thank you‘ and hope that so meday you will visit my country and I can return your hospitality.Sincerely yours,Carlos GomezLesson 6PART A Micro-ListeningNumbers CalculationI.1.

TapescriptPeople in different countries have different standards for good manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries it is necessary to take off one's shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or eats up his food to show that he has enjoyed it.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do no matter whether he is an oriental or a westerner,He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind whether to people or to animals. When he is waiting for a bus, he takes his turn and never pushes to the front of the line. In the bus, he gives his seat to an old person, or a disabled person, or a lady who is standing. When talking to people, he never tells heavy people they are fat, but says that they are losing weight for he knows everyone is diet con- scious and wants to be thin.
