Unit 4-Conversation 1
Kate: So, what did you think of the movie?
Mark: It was good but I thought it was too long.
Kate: Yes, me too.
Kate: Hey, where's my bike? I don't believe it! It's gone!
Mark: It was next to mine, you chained it up!
Kate: Someone's stolen it! Oh, how could they!
Mark: Oh, Kate!
Kate: How could someone have done this! The creep!
Mark: It's a really mean thing to do, steal a bike.
Kate: It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune —I don't
have the money to buy another one.
Mark: Listen, I'll go down the street and see if I can see
anyone with it. Why don't you go into that shop and see
if they've seen anything suspicious? I'll be back in a minute.
Kate: OK.
Kate: Well?
Mark: No luck. What did they say in the shop?
Kate: I asked the shopkeeper if she'd seen anything —
Mark: And?
Kate: She said she hadn't. I guess it was a long shot. She
advised me to report it to the police. But according to
her, bikes get stolen all the time around here.
Mark: Listen, let's get back so you can report it.
Kate: I've got no bike. I'm just so upset!
Mark: It's not far to college. Come on!
Unit 4-Conversation 2
Mark: So did you ring the police?
Kate: Yes. I went to the police station to report it.
Mark: What did they say?
Kate: No one's found it. This woman said that Oxford has
the fifth highest rate of bike theft in the country!
Mark: You're joking!
Kate: That's what she said.
Mark: What else did she say?
Kate: She told me that sometimes you do get bikes back —
the thieves use them and then abandon them, apparently, and
then people find them and report them.
Mark: So you might get it back.
Kate: I hope so, Mark, I really do. It's just too much, you
know? But ... um ... what else? She told me to go to this sale
they have of abandoned bikes. She thinks I might find it there.
But it's only every two months, I can't wait till then! Honestly,
Mark, I'm really furious!
Mark: You can always buy a cheap bike on eBay.
Kate: Hello ... Speaking ... You found it! Where was it? Is
it ...? Oh, that's fantastic news! There was a lamp and a basket
on it ... Right ... OK, thank you, I'll be in tomorrow morning
to pick it up. Unbelievable! This guy found it!
Mark: Brilliant! Was that the police?
Kate: Yes. What they said was, someone dumped it outside
this guy's backyard.
Mark: That's so strange!
Kate: The lamp's been stolen and the basket. Mark: Forget about it! You're lucky to get it back!
Unit 4-Outside view
Reporter：The trade in endangered animals is booming, as this
collection of items seized by border agents shows.
Ivory and rhino horn, trophy animals and Chinese
medicines, it's a multimillion pound black-market
industry. This year, Sky News has filmed with
rhinos in South Africa, clearly seeing the damage
done by poachers, and it's thought the number of
rhinos killed there might reach a record high this
year.
Interviewee 1：Poaching levels are at... you know,
unprecedented levels now, you know, they've gone
through the roof. The rhino ... they're anticipating
1,000 rhinos to be slaughtered in South Africa, er,
this year alone.
Reporter：In the past year, UK customs officials have seized
2.5 million illegal itoms. That’s ten times more than
the year before. Included in that, almost 4,000 kilos
of illegally imported medicines, 93 endangered live
animals, and over 300 items made from ivory.
Interviewee 2：Here we've got a pair of, er, snakeskin shoes of
some sort, look like python.
Reporter：The items held in this warehouse have also been
smuggled illegally, often in the form of packages
sent by courier or parcel post, and intercepted at the
UK's ports and airports. Endangered animals
brought in alive are rehomed across the country.
Interviewee 3：There's a huge trade in reptiles, tortoises for
example are enormous problems, and turtles, often
confiscated. And it's extremely difficult trying to
find homes for these, these, these sorts of animals.
Reporter：Many of these items will be passed on for education
or research. But the rhino horn will be destroyed,
and prevented from ever hitting the black market
again. Harriet Hadfield, Sky News.
Unit 4-Listening in
News report
Over the past few years, the true crime genre has grown in
popularity in the US. First, there was the podcast Serial,
which revisited the case of Adnan Syed. He was imprisoned
for the 1999 murder of his high school classmate and former
girlfriend, which he claims he did not commit. Then Netflix
came out with the documentary series Making a Murderer.
The series follows the real-life story of Steven Avery，a man
who was wrongly imprisoned for 18 years for a crime he
didn’t commit. But soon after he was released from prison, he
was arrested for the murder of a photographer. Again, he
claims that he didn’t commit the crime.
