1 / 11 Unit 1, R10: Relationships, two female students chatting in a cafe Part 1 A: Mary B: Cindy A: What are your plans for the weekend? B: I am off to my maternal grandparents. They are holding a family reunion. A: Sounds fun! Do you have a big family? B: I sure do. A: Tell me about your relatives. B: Well, my immediate family is made up of my parents, my big sister and me. A: Your sister has two children, doesn’t she? B: Yes, my niece Jessica–she is a beautiful little toddler–and my nephew Kevin. A: How about your extended family? B: Well, on my mother’s side, I have twenty family members. A: Twenty? B: Yes: my grandparents, four uncles, three aunts, and eleven cousins. A: Wow, that’s impressive. Is your father’s family that big too? B: No, he was an only child. So it’s just him, my grandparents and, very happily, his paternal grandfather –my great-grandpa, who will turn 100 next June! A: 100! That’s amazing!
Unit 1, R10: Relationships, two female students chatting in the classroom Part 2 2 / 11
A: Cindy B: Rachel A: How are you enjoying your American Culture and Society course? B: I like it. The United States is certainly an intriguing country. At the moment, we are looking at the American family. A: What can you tell me about it? I’d be interested in hearing about what you’re learning. B: Well, many American families are known as two-career families. That’s a family where both the husband and wife work outside of the home. A: With both parents working, family income must increase considerably. B: It certainly does. And it also means more husbands do their share of household chores and childcare... Hmm, another type of family is the stepfamily. A: What’s that? B: This type of family is a result of the higher divorce and remarriage rates in America. It can in fact be quite large because of stepchildren and stepparents. A: I am not really sure what you mean. B: Well, for instance, if a child’s mother remarries, then her second husband becomes her child’s stepfather. If the stepfather has, say, a daughter, then she becomes the child’s stepsister. A: Got it. So that’s why they are called stepfamilies. B: Exactly.
Unit 2: Two friends who haven’t seen each other in a long time Part 1 A: Dan B: Cindy A: Dan, it’s been ages. It’s absolutely wonderful to see you. 3 / 11
(Cindy and Dan hug) B: Cindy, so nice to see you too. You look great! How have you been? A: I’ve been very well, thank you. I’ve just returned from a year of work and travel. B: Really, where did you go? A: I took a year off from my studies: I spent 9 months doing some volunteer work with an NGO in Zambia, and then I traveled around Europe for 3 months. B: That sounds so exciting! A: It was. How about you? What have you been up to for the last few years? B: I also went abroad. I completed my final two years of high school in Canada and traveled through America and Mexico during the summer holidays. Now I am preparing for my studies in the UK. A: Cool! What will you study? B: Hotel & Tourism Management. A: Sounds like the ideal choice for someone who enjoys travel!
Unit 2: Two friends talking about their life dreams Part 2 A: Dan B: Jane A: Jane, do you get nervous thinking about the future? B: Yes, I do. A: Me too. 4 / 11
B: What worries you the most? A: Family stuff. I’m worriedthat I might not find a good job and, because of this, struggle to support my loved ones. If I get married and have a child, I want to be able to provide my family with the best life possible. B: Dan, don’t forget that your future wife will have a job too! She will also provide for your family. It’s silly to put all the pressure on yourself: a married couple should work as a team. A: Yeah, maybe you’re right... What do you worry about? B: Having a sense of purpose in life. We spend so much of our adult lives working that I want my job to be meaningful. I want to live to work, not work to live! I dream of being able to have a positive impact on the world around us. A: Well, you have a positive impact on me, so you’re off to a good start!
Unit 3: Giving advice Part 1 A: Cindy B: Mark A: Mark, are you ok? You look terrible. B: That’s because I feel terrible. I just had a huge fight with my parents. A: I am so sorry to hear that. What was the argument about? B: My future. My parents want me to go on an exchange program to America, but I want to study in London.
