78 transcripts Practice Pack (audio) Emily: Well, I get this allowance every week, which is quite a lot, but I have to pay all my expenses with it, including school stuff and bus fares and so on. Hannah: That’s mean, erm, can I ask you another question? Emily: Yeah. Hannah: Is there a sport that you’d really like to do? Emily: I’m not sure, I think cheerleading would be a lot of fun. Hannah: Cheerleading? Like in those teenie movies? Emily: Why not? I mean, you are in a team, and you try to create a good atmosphere for your school team, I kind of like that idea. Also, I’ve watched some videos on YouTube, and I’m totally fascinated by all those moves – the way they shout “down” and put their hands up ( laughs ). I think you need to be very fit to be doing that, and good at gymnastics, the way they throw people in the air and catch them again? That really needs absolute team coordination and everybody needs to know what they’re doing. Hannah: Oh, OK, if you put it like that … Emily: At my school, it would be a great addition to sports day, for example, if we could get a cheerleading team going. Maybe some of the boys would like to join, too. Hannah: OK, I’ll put down cheerleading, and thank you for your time. Bye! Emily: OK, then … Bye. Practice Pack, Unit 08, exercise 7 ( À 38) Announcer: Listen to four people talking about times when they misbehaved at school. … Dawn. Dawn: The biggest trouble I got into at school was when I was caught smoking behind the bike sheds with some friends of mine. It was quite serious. We had to go and see the headmaster and he was thinking of sending us home. My parents would have killed me. In the end he said we had to stay behind after school for three days. An extra hour each day. It wasn’t so bad. Announcer: Joy. Joy: I got chucked out my first high school. I was only 13 and I hated it, so I never used to go. I used to go to the cinema instead or hang out in the park. One day the cinema manager phoned my school and the headmaster came and got me. He warned me not to do it again but I did, so they asked me to leave. I was so happy. I hated that school. Announcer: Paul. Paul: I was usually quite a good student when I was at school, but I did get sent home once for fighting in the playground. It wasn’t my fault. It was this other kid, Phil Green, he just came up to me and hit me. I had to hit him back. Anyway, it was a Thursday, so the headmaster told us to go home and not come back until Monday. My parents were really mad at me. Announcer: David. David: I remember once we were in a chemistry lesson. It was really boring, so me and my friend decided to have a paper aeroplane competition. I made this really cool plane, but just as I threw it, the teacher turned round and saw me. I had to write “I will not mess around in the classroom” 100 times on a piece of paper. What a waste of time. once a week, and I train about three times a week in a gym as well. I’ve already taken part in some minor competitions, actually. Oscar: So this is pretty serious? Greg: Yes, you could say that. I’m trying to get some local sponsors so I can take part in more competitions, but that’s quite hard. Oscar: So you actually want to become a pro, then? Greg: I tell you what, I’d really like to become a pro in highlining. Oscar: Sorry? Greg: It’s like slacklining but really high up. I think it must be fantastic if you can do it well. I saw a documentary about it, and these guys said it was like flying. They actually take a parachute with them, in a rucksack, and if they lose their balance, they just jump off the line and enjoy a bit of free fall, then open the parachute after a while and land safely down in the valley. Oscar: Sounds totally awesome. Greg: You have to be a good climber as well, because they fix these lines in places that are really high up, and quite difficult to get to, like from one rock to another, and you have to climb up to the line, that’s the first adventure. Oscar: And ... Why don’t you do it? Greg: Too expensive. There’s not many places in the world you can do that, I wouldn’t know where to fix a high line here in Cambridge, except maybe from one college tower to another, but that wouldn’t be allowed anyway. Oscar: It does sound great, but I’m not sure I could do it. I think I’d fall off the line after the first few steps, and then what’s the point? Greg: Well, I’ve tried slacklining, and I think I’m quite good at it, I’m good at keeping my balance, but highlining is a whole new ballgame. I’d really have to join a club to do it properly, and then again, there’s the expense, so I think I’ll stick with good old cross-country and see where it takes me. … Any more questions? Oscar: Sorry? Oh, sorry, no more questions, erm, I was thinking about where I could try highlining in Britain, actually. Thanks a lot for your time. Greg: No problem. See you! Oscar: See you! Announcer: Interview 2. Hannah: Excuse me? Emily: Yes? Hannah: We’re doing this school project on sports, can I ask you a couple of questions? Emily: Sure, why not. Hannah: Do you do any sports regularly? Emily: I don’t know, what do you call regularly? I do go to the pool about once a month, is that regular enough? And I walk to school every day, but I’m not sure if that’s a sport. Hannah: Erm, I think I’ll put down swimming as fairly regular, and walking to school – how long is that? Emily: It takes me 40 minutes each way, I guess it’s about two or three miles? Hannah: 40 minutes each way! That’s definitely sporty. And very regular. Is there no bus? Emily: There is, but it’s so expensive and I have to pay my own fare. Hannah: Really? How come? Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
