Elementary ‐ Global View ‐ Presidential Speech (C0121)

A: Good evening, my fellow Americans. Three days from now, after a half-century of service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in a traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor. This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.

A: Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.

A: Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on questions of great importance, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of our great nation. My own relations with Congress began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point. I then had the pleasure of building more intimate relationship with Congress during the war and immediate post-war period. Finally, we have progressed to the mutually interdependent relationship we‘ve had during these past eight years.

A: Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We‘ve been hired to build a deck on this here house, and turn this boring and drab lawn into a backyard oasis. There is one catch, though. We‘ve only got one day to finish this, so I‘m gonna need everyone to give one hundred and ten percent today. It‘s going to be tough, but we‘ve got a great team here, and I know that together we can tackle this project. That being said, let‘s get to work!

B: That‘s right. Now, remember, we‘ve been over the plans, but we really need to make sure that everything is up to code. The home inspectors here are pretty thorough, so please make sure you follow the plans exactly. And remember the carpenter‘s rule of thumb: measure twice and cut once.

A: Okay, guys. Let‘s get at it. Bob! Pass me that hammer! The nails won‘t go in; the wood is too hard. I think I‘m gonna need the nail gun. That did it!

A: It smells like an ashtray in here!

B: Hi honey! What‘s wrong? Why do you have that look on your face?

A: What‘s wrong? I thought we agreed that you were gonna quit smoking.

B: No! I said I was going to cut down which is very different. You can‘t just expect me to go cold turkey

overnight!

A: Look, there are other ways to quit. You can try the nicotine patch, or nicotine chewing gum. We spend a fortune on cigarettes every month and now laws are cracking down and not allowing smoking in any public place. It‘s not like you can just light up like before.

B: I know, I know. I am trying but, I don‘t have the willpower to just quit. I can‘t fight with the urge to reach for my pack of smokes in the morning with coffee or after lunch! Please understand? A: Fine! I want a divorce!

Steven: It was fine. I‘ve been better but, it‘s great to be home, I‘ve missed you all! How‘s mom?

Gulam: She‘s great! All she ever does is talk about you -her little boy that went to the United States. You‘re her pride and joy, you know that?

Steven: Can‘t wait to see her. And you? What‘s new with you?

Gulam: Well, Nisha and I are expecting! You‘ll have another nephew or niece soon!

Steven: That‘s great! Wow! Congrats! You two are great together, ya know. You have such a beautiful family. I hope one day I can have that.

Gulam: Of course, man! Come on! I mean, everything was set here for you to marry Shalini! You know, she‘s still pining after you. I don‘t think she‘ll ever get over you. Steven: What are you talking about? I hardly knew her! How could she be in love with me? I couldn‘t go through with it even though she

is a great woman. No, I left my heart in the United States. I just hope Veronica is happy.

Gulam: Get over it! You‘re home now. Everyone here thinks so highly of you; there‘ll be girls throwing themselves at you. You can marry anyone you want!

Steven: I don‘t want to marry anyone! I want to marry her! Don‘t you understand?

Gulam: You are incorrigible.

Liliana: Steven! My baby how are you! I‘ve missed you so much!

Steven: Veronica! How did you get here? How did you know where I live? I waited for you at the airport but you never showed...

Veronica: I also have some little secrets that I haven‘t told you about, but we can discuss that later. I realized that I

was just scared. Scared of how much I love you and of the commitment that marriage requires. I‘m here now. Now there is something I wanna ask you. Steven, will you marry me?

Priest: I now declare you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Elementary‐ Global View ‐ Presidential Speech II (C0129)

A: We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great nations. Three of these involved our own country. Despite the carnage of these conflicts, America is today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world. We are understandably proud of this preeminence, yet we realize that America‘s leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment. A: Throughout America‘s adventure in free government, such basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among peoples and among nations. A: We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.

A: Now, on Friday noon, I am to become a private citizen. I am proud to do so. I look forward to it. Thank you, and good night.

Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ Going To The Gym (C0130)

A: Hey there, you look a little lost. Are you new here? B: Yeah how‘d you know?

A: You can always spot the newbies. I can give you a few pointers if you want. Were you trying to use this machine here?

B: Yeah! I just started my training today and I‘m not really sure where to begin.

A: It‘s ok, I know how it is. This machine here will work out your upper body, mainly your triceps and biceps. Are you looking to develop strength or muscle tone and definition?

B: Well, I don‘t want to be ripped like you! I just want a good physique with weights and cardio.

A: In that case you want to work with less weight. You can start off by working ten to fifteen reps in four sets. Five kilo weights should be enough. Now it‘s very important that you stretch before pumping iron or you

27 / 72

might pull a muscle.

B: Got it! Wow is that the weight you are lifting? My goodness that‘s a lot of weight!

A: It‘s not that much. Just watch... I‘m ok...

Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ What if? Part 1 (C0131)

A: Okay, next question. If Eric asked you out on a date, what would you say?

B: Duh! I would say yes! Eric is the most popular kid in school! Okay, my turn. What would you do if you won the lottery?

A: Let‘s see.... If I won the lottery, I would buy two tickets for a trip around the world.

B: If you buy me a ticket I will go with you for sure!

A: My dad will freak out if I even mention a trip like that! B: Alright this is a good one. What would your mom say if you told her you are going to get married?

A: If I told her that, she would faint and have me committed!

Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ Mechanic (C0132)

A: Howdy! Nice car! What seems to be the problem? B: I don‘t know! This stupid old car started spewing white smoke and it just died on me. Luckily, I managed to start it up and drive it here. What do you think it is?

A: Not sure yet. How about you pop the hood and we can take a look. Hmmm, it doesn‘t look good.

B: What do you mean? My daddy gave me this car for my birthday last month. It‘s brand new!

A: Well missy, the white smoke that you saw is steam from the radiator. You overheated your engine so now the pistons are busted and so is your transmission. You should have called us and we could have towed you over here when your car died.

B: Ugh... So how long is this going to take? An hour? A: I‘m afraid a bit more than that. We need to order the spare parts, take apart your electrical system, fuel pump and engine and then put it back together again. You are going to have to leave it here for at least two weeks.

B: What! How am I supposed to get to school or go shopping? This is not happening!

Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ Doing Laundry (C0133)

A: Ok, let‘s go through this one more time. I don‘t want anymore ruined or dyed blouses!

B: I know, I know. OK, so I have to separate the colors from the whites and put them in this strange looking contraption so called washing machine.

A: Right. You have to turn it on and program it depending on what type of clothes you are washing. For example for delicates, you should set a shorter washing cycle. Also, be sure to use fabric softener and this detergent when washing.

B: So complicated! Ok, what about this red wine stain? How do I get it out?

A: Since this is a white t-shirt, you can just pour a little bit of bleach on it and it will do the trick.

B: Cool. Then I can just throw everything in the dryer for an hour and its all set right?

A: No! Since you are washing delicates and cotton, you should set the dryer to medium heat and for twenty minutes.

B: You know what? I‘ll just have everything dry cleaned.

Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ Buying a TV (C0134)

A: Seriously, I don‘t know why we need to get a new TV. B: Honey I told you already. I can‘t appreciate the graphics level and detail of the games on my Playstation 3 on our old TV.

C: Good afternoon folks! How can I be of service today? B: I‘m looking to upgrade to a newer, bigger television set.

C: You‘ve come to the right place! What size are you looking for?

A: Just a normal sized TV for our living room.

C: I see. Well this set here is on sale. It‘s a forty six inch HDTV screen and has all the works. Three HDMI connectors, USB, VGA and S - Video ports. It even has a DVI port so you can hook up your PC or laptop! This is without a doubt the complete home theater experience! B: This is exactly what I need! Can you imagine watching movies or playing video games on this thing?

A: Honey, I think it‘s a bit too big. I don‘t even think it will fit in our living room.

C: Not to worry, we will deliver and install it in your home. It comes with a wall mount so you can just hang it on the wall like a picture!

B: This is great! How much will this set me back?

C: Lucky for you, this is the last one we have in stock so it‘s half off! B: I‘ll take it!

Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ Cheer Up (C0135)

A: Ok... I‘ll talk to you later. Bye

B: Carrie, are you ok? You seem a bit down.

A: I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. He is always getting upset and losing his temper over nothing. It‘s so hard to talk to him at times.

B: Maybe it‘s just that he is stressed out from work or something. He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know.

A: Yeah but, he is always in a really foul mood. I try to find out what‘s bothering him or get him to talk about his day but, he always shuts down and brushes me off.

B: Men are like that you know. They can feel nervous, anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness.

A: I guess you are right. What do you think I should do? He wasn‘t always this grouchy you know...

B: Talk to him, try to cheer him up when he is down and if that doesn‘t work, I say get rid of him and get a new one! A: You are something else you know that?
