Task 2 When was music first sent down a telephone line
So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing Not so In 1896 Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument And he wasn’t even the first Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876 which was the same year the telephone was invented Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874 calling it the Musical Telegraph Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental Electric Harp for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray’s Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels

Task 3 Thank You for the Music
I’m nothing special in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke you’re probably heard it before
But I have a talent a wonderful thing
Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it I ask in all honestly
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well whoever it was I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music the songs I’m singing

V Let’s Talk
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was a British director His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding
Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies In surprise the director provides the viewer with frightening things In suspense the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth Hitchcock had a great sense of humor Once at a French airport a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport which was marked simply PRODUCER The curious official asked And what do you produce Gooseflesh replied Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies He was sometimes getting on a bus or crossing a street pr walking in front of a store or across the courtyard in an apartment However for the movie Lifeboat in 1944 he was faced with a difficult problem The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea and there were only a few characters in the boat Originally he wanted to float by as a dead body but he was afraid he’d sink His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie

Task 2 An Interview with JK Rowling
Q How did you get the idea for Harry Potter
A I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn’t know he was a wizard
Q Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book If so how many
A I always conceived it as a sevenbook series because I decided that it would take seven years from age eleven to seventeen inclusive to train as a wizard and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school
Q Any clues about the next book
A I don’t want to i\give anything away but I tell you that the books are getting darker Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older Sorry if they get too scary
Q Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter what are some of your favorites
A My very favorite was from a twelveyearold Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival At the end of the festival the queue for signing was very long When the girl finally reached me she said I didn’t WANT there to be so many people here because this is MY books That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books Nobody else has a right to know them let alone like them

Father Yao Ming is so tall that he doesn’t need extra spring Anyway he makes money than I do And they probably give him millions of dollars to wear those shoes

Task 3 Don’t even think about it
Don’t even think about it is a phrase commonly used in the United States when a person emphatically denies or refuse something
In 1995 Shaquille O’ Neal a popular basketball player made a Pepsi commercial in which this phrase was used The commercial begins with Shaq playing basketball and a little kid is watching him Then the boy cries out the name of this basketball star Shaq turns to see the kid with a Pepsi n his hand He walks over to the boy and says Hey can I have it He bends over supposing that his admirer will give him the Pepsi But then the kid says Don’t even think about it This commercial was rather popular and it had been shown on TV for about three years The commercial seems to have a more dramatic effect than that produced by the CocaCola company in the 1970s In the Coke ad a young boy meets football star Mean Joe Green as he is leaving the field a game The boy gives his hero a bottle of Coke and in exchange for the drink the football player throws to the boy who excitedly catches the souvenir
The phrase Don’t even think about it is used on many other occasions Visitors to New York City are often amused to see a road sign with these words Don’t even think about parking here This road sign means that people are strictly prohibited from parking there

Laura Hey
Bob Hey Look this is a cool TV commercial Things go better with Coke
Laura I think the Pepsi commercial is just as attractive The choice of a new generation
Bob Yeah but the competitors are just canceling out each other’s efforts
Laura That’s quite true They both spend piles of money to increase their market shares but neither gains
Bob I’m afraid the extra costs of advertising will be passed on to the consumers
Laura I hear that the advertising produces a good image of a product and that leads to consumer brand loyalty
Bob What do you mean by consumer brand loyalty
Laura It means consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it Also they’re willing to pay more
Bob It seems contradictory In other words more sales mean lower production costs but more advertising means higher costs to the consumer In the end the winner is of course the company
Laura That’s true
Now Your Turn
A Look Make yourself heard The Ericsson’s TV commercial is so cool
B I think the Nokia’s commercial is just as fascinating Connecting People
A I’m afraid consumers will have to pay for the advertising
B I hear that the advertisements create as a favorable on\mage of a product and that leads to consumer brand loyalty
A Could you explain consumer brand loyalty
B I mean consumers identify with the product and keep buying it Sometimes they’re even willing to pay more
A It is contradictory that increases sales lead to a lower production cost per unit but more advertising results in greater costs for consumers The winner is always the company
B I agree
Model 2 Beware of ads
Peter Mind if I switch channels Those TV commercials are killing me
Jane How can you say that Watch Take Toshiba take the world Fantastic There’s a product you can depend on A powerful product
Peter If I were you I wouldn’t trust those commercials
Jane Now look at this McDonald’s commercials Aren’t those little kids cute Oh and there’s such a warm family feeling
Peter Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald’s you’re the target audience
When they make TV commercials they use scientific methods to learn what you’ll like and buy
Jane Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald’s
Peter Advertises don’t bother with facts more Instead they want the enduser—that’s you—to fall in love with their product
Jane I see So what you’re saying is Watch out or commercials will take over your life
Now Your Turn
A Shall we switch to another channel I don’t like those TV commercials
B Why do you think so Look Just do it What a powerful product
A I doubt it
B Now look at this L’Oreal commercial The model’s skin is so smooth
A This is what they want you to believe use the product and you will get the same skin
B You mean they are lying about the product I don’t really think so
A Advertisers now appeal to emotions not reason They want you to like their product
B Well I don’t really agree with you but we can switch to another channel
Model 3 Are the free magazines free
Peter Jane what’s that magazine you’re reading
Jane It’s one of those free magazine you can pick up around town It’s got some pretty interesting articles in it
Peter Wake up Jane It’s not free at all Look at it It’s all advertising
Jane Maybe so but if the advertising pays for the magazine then I don’t have to
Peter Sure you do The cost of the ads is built into the products
Jane Still I think advertising serves a useful purpose It tells me about new products
Peter A lot of companies spend more money on advertising than on making quality products
Jane But some commercials are really fascinating Besides you have the freedom to choose not to look at the ads
Peter Well it’s time to cook dinner

A Job Ad for a Friendly Employee
A firm advertising for a friendly employee has been asked to change its wording because it discriminates against unfriendly people
Travelco a travel agency put in a request for a Friendly employee to provide food for its staff But the Job Center in Bristol told managing director Harry Smith that he would have to remove the word friendly before the advertisement could be accepted
Mr Smith said he could not believe the decision and thought it was ridiculous He said We were told we could not use that particular word because it was discriminatory against people who looked unfriendly We thought it was ridiculous It’s only too natural for us to specify what kind of people we want He added The people at the center have since said they thought they had been a little over the top
The center had made it a rule that certain words were nor allowed in ads and the words motivated and enthusiastic had been banned in the past
An official of the center said We do have guidelines of not using personality characteristics in advertisements to ensure that there is no discrimination in the process
She added We should leave the dispute to the local judges They’ll make the final decision It’s possible that a member of our staff has been overenthusiastic in cutting out words in ads

Task 3 An Introduction to Advertising
Advertising has become increasingly specialized in modern times In today’s business world supply usually outnumbers demand There is great competition among different manufacturers of the same kind of product to attract customers to their product They always have to remind the consumer of the name and the qualities of their product They do this by advertising The manufacturers advertise in the newspapers and on posters They sometimes pay for songs about their product in commercial radio programs They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples They organizes competitions with prizes for the winners They often advertise on the screens of local cinemas Most important of all in countries that have television they have advertisements put into programs that will accept them Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements Sometimes they even spend more on ads than on the products themselves We usually think so because of the advertisements that say so Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth

Are you ready to go to work a woman asks her dog Sydney The dog was her tail Then she starts sniffing around inside the house Sydney is hunting for mold When she sits down that means she smells mold nearby Usually mold is found within three or four feet A boy who lives in this house has epileptic attacks It could be from mold His mother wanted to find the mold She tried other ways to find it but they didn’t work She said she trusted the dog more than the other ways Workers found mold near where Sydney sat Nobody had thought to look for mold there before Now it can be cleaned out and the boy will feel much better
Sydney is very special Only about ten animals in the US can do this She spent hundreds of hours with a police dog trainer in Florida to learn how In the US people have used dogs to find drugs and bombs for a long time but dogs that find mold are something new
People in Europe have used moldsniffing dogs for many years Dogs are cheaper to use than human trackers and can find exactly where the mold is They also do it quickly and for less than 500 Other methods may cost thousands of dollars and take many weeks

V Let’s Talk
The Miniskirt
Mary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations Anything different and daring was soon popular During this period miniskirts attracted the world’s attention It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs Ms Quant said that at her fashion shop young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts If I didn’t make them short enough the girls that had wonderful legs would take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves She said Eventually Ms Quant’s skirts which arrived in the United States in the mid60’s were reduced to about five inches In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts But in Ms Quant’s opinion short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl look childlike Lately feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women’s liberation as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother

Task 1 Paying for the New Clothes
Daughter Mom I need some new clothes Everything I have is out of date The new semester will be starting soon—can we go shopping
Mother You have a closet full of clothes that are still in very good condition Your father and I already have to pay you university tuition…and there’re the books too
Daughter But everyone else will be wearing the latest Levis And I will look stupid wearing the same old skirts I wore in high school They are so long People will think I came form the middle ages
Mother But…
Daughter Maybe I could get a parttime job to help pay for the new clothes
Mother No you need to study But university is a new experience…maybe we can look for something not too expensive
Daughter Wonderful at least we can have a look
The daughter wants to buy new clothes but the mother disagrees saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages The daughter then suggests getting a parttime job to cover the expenses Not wanting to affect the daughter’s studies the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes
Task 2 A Model’s Description of Her Work
Before the fashion show started we had a rehearsal In a small room we were each given a space A dresser got us into the fashion clothes then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone the trousers pulled to the right height Once dressed we queued up in order by the door The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted The music started and we went out We posed for the photographers turned and walked back It was a breeze I walked back into the room too excited to realize I was meant to hurry In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing By failing to do so I almost missed my next turn
At 830pm with the audience in place we were back in the clothes We went out again to a full house The music was loud but clear You could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre and people don’t keep quiet Journalists discuss what to write about buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses as a model you are just an advertisement for the designer So you walk through conversations unable to stop or react You are not a creative human being just a smiling doll

This sounded easy enough so Richard went in and has several drinks The barman went to him and said Before you came in another man was here When I asked him to pay his bill he told me he’d paid but I don’t remember him paying me
Richard said I would love to stay and hear your story but I don’t have time Can I havemy change please

Task 3 Why not just print money
What’s the solution to a recession a time of little economic activity Just print money Sounds reasonable doesn’t it Let’s see if this will work by using an example
Let’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country and the teacher represents the government Let’s also pretend each student has exactly 100
Since we are in a recession let’s have the teacher who represents the government print money He prints 100 more for everyone Now everyone has 100 more to spend More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession since more money to spend means demand for goods and services
Then if that works why don’t we give MORE money away How about 100 Now we have lots of money to spend So no more recession right
Not really because we have only looked at one side of the problem As more and more people receive more and more money what’ll happen
Since everyone has more money the students all go shopping to spend that extra money This causes the demand for goods and services to rise and people who sell goods and services raise price For example if you could buy a new music CD at 10 in the past now the price could be 1000 This is called inflation
So the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession but we have only replaced one problem with another

Task 3 An Introduction to Credit Cards
Credit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash Many American don’t like to carry much cash For them the cards are convenient and safe to use
Credit cards are gaining popularity even for buying small items They are accepted almost everywhere though not at fast food restaurants
Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy When you use a credit card the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store Later a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased At that time you can either pay the bill in full or only pay a minimum amount and wait till later to finish paying If you wait till later you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay
