49 transcripts Coursebook (audio + video) with video games, I’m sure you can imagine. But they’re fine with it, as long as I do my homework and my grades are OK. When a new part of one of my favourite series comes out, I might play five or more hours per day, but that’s just a few weeks of the year. On a weekday I normally play about two hours, I’d say. Saturdays and Sundays I play a lot more, especially if I haven’t got a lot of school work to do. Announcer: Speaker 4 – Rob. Rob: I used to play lots of video games when I was younger, but not so much now. A couple of school mates and I were really into an online strategy game that was popular back then. We spent so much time on it and didn’t talk about anything else when we met. More and more people joined us, to play together, and we were quite successful. I think there were about fifteen of us, playing all around the clock at one point. Then, after a while, it started to feel more like a job than a game, you know? I felt like I had to keep playing, so I wouldn’t let the others down. I wasn’t the only one to feel like that though, people started moving on one by one and I stopped playing, too. I haven’t played online games like that since. I play strategy games on my PC in the evenings, maybe an hour or two per week, but only single player stuff. When I meet my friends, we still sometimes talk about our online adventures, but we mostly talk about other things now. There’s so much to do every day, I don’t want to spend my time glued to the screen anymore. Coursebook, Unit 03, exercise 8a ( À 06) Announcer: Listen to Anna talking about her ideal school. Interviewer: Tell me, Anna, what would your ideal school be like? Anna: Well, for a start we wouldn’t have to wear a uniform. Our school’s so strict and we have a really horrible uniform – grey skirt, grey socks, grey jumper and – wait for it – a white shirt. Wow. We have to wear a tie too. It’s blue and orange, I mean they could have at least chosen two colours that go together. Interviewer: What about make-up? Anna: You’ve got to be joking. You can really get into trouble for wearing even just a bit of eye-liner. A friend of mine got sent home for wearing lipstick! It’s really pathetic. Interviewer: So your ideal school would have no uniform? Anna: Yes … No. It would have a really cool uniform designed by me. It would be like blue and yellow, but the kids would be able to wear really trendy stuff like jeans and cool tops. Interviewer: Sounds great. So what else would you change? Anna: Well, discipline in general. I mean I don’t disagree with it but I think the rules need to be fairer. Different teachers use different punishments for different things. I mean if I forget to do Miss Chappell’s homework – she’s the history teacher – I can get anything from 100 lines to 2 hours detention, but if I don’t do Mr Thomas’ homework, then he usually does nothing. I mean the kids need to know where they stand. Interviewer: What about corporal punishment? Would you reintroduce it in your ideal school? Announcer: Speaker 4. Speaker 4: This is a picture of me looking happy because I’m in my favourite after-school club. As you can see, we’re having a good laugh, even though I’m feeling a bit stressed because it’s much harder than it looks to control the clay on the wheel. My three friends are interested to see if I make a mess of things. The girl standing on my left with her hands on her hips is Katy. She always ties back her long hair to keep it clean, but she’s made a mess of her apron. The boy with the short black hair is Alan. He’s standing a bit behind me because he’s nervous some clay might come flying off the wheel and go on his new shirt. Oh, and the boy with the blond wavy hair – that’s Tom. The old shelf behind me is where we put our finished pottery to dry before it’s fired in the kiln. Coursebook, Unit 02, exercise 14c ( À 05) Announcer: Listen to four people talking about their experiences with video games. … Speaker 1 – Allen. Allen: I don’t play a lot of video games, not compared to some of my friends, anyway. I really enjoy sports games though, especially football games. They’re really good because you can play against your mates and see who’s better. Some people can get really angry when they lose, but I don’t mind too much. Sure, it feels great to win, but it’s more about making good plays for me, making some elegant passes, slipping that ball in past the keeper, or stopping that striker just in time. I’d say I play about an hour a day, on average. More on weekends or when friends come over. Sometimes it’s four or more of us, taking turns in front of the TV. It’s even more fun to play when others are watching, cheering you on. When there’s a big match on TV – a Cup final or something – I invite lots of friends and we play the same teams, before and after watching the match. Announcer: Speaker 2 – Karen. Karen: I haven’t got a Playstation or a good PC, so I can’t play anything like that at home. I play some games on my mobile or my tablet, on the bus on my way to school or back home. When there’s a new game I really enjoy, I sometimes play at home as well, but not every day. There isn’t any one game I like in particular, I play lots of different ones, depends on my mood, really. Might be action, or a puzzler, or some social game. If there’s a new game I’m into a lot, I might play two or three hours in a day, on other days I don’t play at all. Sometimes there’s a few of us playing the same game, and we talk about it on the bus. With some games, it’s more fun to talk about them with friends, than actually playing them, you know? Trading tips and so on. Announcer: Speaker 3 – Alysha. Alysha: I got the new Playstation for my last birthday. I’ve got a TV in my room, too, so now I can play new stuff whenever I’ve got some free time. I’m really into role-playing games and always get the newest releases. After a long day at school, there’s nothing like becoming a completely different person to get away from it all: being a hero, finding treasure, saving the world. I can spend hours and hours like that. My parents aren’t thrilled when I spend too much time Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
