Part B
Converation1 saving and spending money
Interviewer hi, rob, do you try to have money?
Rob sure. I am a student. I have to save money.
Interviewer well, how do you save money?
Rob well, I try not to shop in department stores or malls except when things are on
sale. I never pay full price. And I really like shopping in outdoor markets---you
can usually find some real bargains there.
Interviewer how about you, Kathy? Do you try to save money?
Kathy of course . See, I am not interested in having the very latest or the most fashi
onable things. I sometimes buy clothes at a thrift store. But, well, I think I still
look pretty good, don’t I ?
Interviewer oh, yes, you look very good actually.
Kathy thanks. I bought my shoes in regular store, but they were on sale. Interviewer oh, well, thank you very much Kathy. And you, Cliff? You try to save money
too, don’t you?
Cliff oh, sure. And the best way to do that is not to pay people to fix things for you.
Interviewer what do you mean? Cliff well, I try to fix things for myself, like fix my car or…or repair things aroun
d the house. I like to get things done by myself. Last year I spent all my
after-work hours doing plumbing work. I even installed a bar counter in
our basement.
Interviewer great!
Cliff and before I go grocery shopping, I cut coupons out of the newspaper. That
way, I can save a lot of money on food and, you know, household things. I
also look for things that are on sale. You can save a lot of money that way,
too.
Interviewer well, thanks a lot, Cliff.

Conversation 2 sounds like you have a budget problem
Tim hi, Carina. You look upset. What is up?
Carina well, I am trying to figure out where all my money has gone. Tim you’ve lost your money? Was there a burglary at your place? Carina no, no. I seem to have spent all my allowance for this month. Now I don’t
even have money to go out and eat. Tim hey, I thought you had a good part-time job at the mall.
Carina I do. I work about twenty hours a week, and the pay’s not bad, nine dollars
and fifty cents an hour.
Tim really? So that’s, what, a hundred and ninety dollars a week…times four
weeks…so that’s seven hundred and sixty dollars a month. Hey , that’s not a
bad income for a student!
Carina I know. And my parents send me two hundred and fifty dollars a month, too.
But…
Tim wow, that’s more than one thousand dollars a month. And you can’t live on
that?
Carina no, I only manage to save about ten dollars a month. It is a drag! Tim it sounds like you have a budget problem. Simple, either work more or spend
less.
Carina I am definitely not going to work more. I will have no time to study. Tim so you had better start spending less. Why don’t you make a monthly budget? Carina a budget? Hmm, maybe…hey, Tim, you majored in economics, right? Tim uh, yeah, why?

Unit 6
Part B
The maglev train
On the whole I think our country has an excellent system of transportation, but I do not think that it does a good job of transportation people between cities that are only a few hundred miles apart. A person commuting between one city and a neighbouring one may spend only a relatively short time in the air while spending several hours getting to and from the airport. This situation makes flying almost as time-consuming as driving. Moreover, airplane uses a lot of their fuel just getting into the air. They simply are not fuel efficient on short trips.
Then high speed trains may be the answer. One fairly new proposal for such a train is for something called MAGLEV,meaning a train raised in the air ny magnetic force. Maglevs will not actually ride on the tracks but will fly above tracks that are magnetically activated. This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than 150 miles per hour. At that speed conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. It seems maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future.
Questions for the passage above:
1 how is the transportation system in the speaker’scountry?
(B)
2 is air travel a good means of transport for journeys between cities tant are not far away from one
another?

(B)
1) short time
2) several hours

8) wery fast
9) 150
10) Save wear and tear
