<Unit 1>
<Track 01-01>
Number 1
W: Last night, I had taekwondo class until 7 p.m. Now, I am painting a picture of my little brother.

Number 2
M: I am interested in a lot of things. I like hockey and tennis, but if I had to choose a favorite, I would
say I enjoy hockey the most.

Number 3
W: Every Friday, my family and I have a game night. It’s a lot of fun. We play lots of different games:
Scrabble, charades… You name it. My favorite game, though, is checkers. I always win at that.

<Track 1-02>
M: Hey, Staci. Are you busy today? I thought we could talk about the writing assignment for English
class.
W: Hi, Dan. I'm actually on my way to ballet class. If you want, we can talk on the way, or after class.
My class lasts about an hour.
M: Let's talk about the assignment after your class, but let’s chat until your class starts. How far away is
your class?
W: The dance studio is next to the library. It takes about 15 minutes to walk there.
M: Great! I didn’t know you were a dancer. Do you just do ballet, or do you like other kinds of dance?
W: I love all kinds of dance. I mostly dance ballet, but I also do modern dance and tap. Actually, I’m
applying to a dance school.
M: That’s amazing! I want to go to college for sports medicine.
W: That’s great, Dan. Ah, right! You play hockey, don't you?
M: I do. I have been playing for years—ever since I was 8 years old.
W: Is it hard?
M: Once you learn how to skate, learning to play is easy. I could teach you sometime if you want.
W: That would be fantastic! Well, here we are. I have to get to my class. So, let's meet next door in
about an hour?
M: Perfect. I'll see you then.

<Track 1-03>
M: Grace, do you want to play a game with me?
W: Hi, Sam. I’d love to, but I have to study. Would you like to study with me?
M: Sure! Thanks for asking.

<Track 1-04>
Number 1
W: Hey, Max. Will you have a look at this?
M: What is it, Megan?
W: It’s the code for a new game I am designing.
M: Sure. I’ll take a look.

Number 2
M: Diane, can you help me figure out the answer to this problem?
W: Sorry, Steve. I can’t right now. I have to study for a French test.

Number 3
W: There are a few more steps you need to take. Once you finish collecting the data, you need to
analyze it. Work with your partner. Together, look at all the data you collected and think about what it
means. Once you’re done analyzing the data, write your reports.

Number 4
M: Sarah, I am thinking about changing my schedule.
W: Why do you want to do that, Mike?
M: I’m getting bored of doing the same thing every day.
W: Sometimes, it’s a good idea to shuffle things around.
M: I think so, too.

<Unit 2>
<Track 2-01>
Number 1
M: I used to look to celebrities for fashion advice. I would wear whatever they wore. I thought that
dressing like them would make me popular.
Number 2
W: I used to love fashion but not so much anymore. Now, I save my money for jewelry. I love fancy
necklaces and bracelets. I have dozens of pairs of earrings. They are my favorite.
Number 3
M: I love basketball. But I can’t play right now. I can't play because of my shoes. I used to have a great
pair of shoes. I would wear them all the time, but now, they’re so old. I can’t wear them anymore. I
need to get some new sneakers before the big game this weekend.
<Track 2-02>
W: Fashion used to be very different from today. My mother was my age in the 1990s. She wore very
different clothing than I do. She used to wear tie-dyed shirts and bell-bottom jeans. What’s amazing is
that this is the same trend in clothing that my grandmother wore in the 1960s. Thankfully, my mother
doesn’t dress like that anymore. She dresses more like I do. I wear slim jeans and casual T-shirts.

<Track 2-03>
W: Every decade has its own fashion trends. In the 1970s, wide pants were popular. Women wore tall
shoes. In the 1980s, many women wore leggings. They had wild, colorful patterns. They also wore shirts
in bright, electric colors. During the 1990s, colors were a lot less bright. Fashionable clothing looked
worn and older. Torn pants and flannel shirts were common. In the 2000s, casual comfort was the trend.
People wore track suits and pajama bottoms. In the 2010s, slim jeans and nice T-shirts are most
common.

<Track 2-04>
M: I’d like to buy some trendy clothes. What’s the latest fashion?
W: This suit is what you need. It’s very popular.
M: No, that’s not what I’m looking for at all. It’s too formal, and it’s way too expensive.
W: OK. How about these jeans? They are the latest style.
M: I like them, but I don’t want white jeans. Do you have any other colors?
W: They also come in blue and black.
M: These blue jeans look good.
W: This green polo shirt will look good with them.
M: You’re right! I’ll take them.

<Track 2-05>
Number 1. She has put on perfume.
Number 2. We saw an unusual outfit in the store.
Number 3. He wore a uniform when he was in school.
Number 4. She has printed a pattern on her blouse.

<Track 2-06>
Number 1
M: In the 1920s, the flapper style was very popular. This style included loose-fitting dresses. They were
often covered in beads or sequins: tiny shiny disks. They used to shine as the wearer danced. Usually,
the outfit would be accented with feathers.
Number 2
M: In the 1950s, there was a return to conservative dress. Women wore simple dresses. They often had
simple patterns. A matching hat was a common addition to a 1950s outfit.
Number 3
M: In the 1970s, women wore wide-bottomed pants. They also started wearing high-soled shoes. They
wore clothing with bold, earthy colors like orange, green, and brown.

<Track R1-01>
Number 1
W: Can you watch the movie with me?
M: I’m sorry. I have to study.
Number 2
M: Do you feel like getting a pizza tonight?
W: That sounds good. I’ll order one.
Number 3
W: Would you like to join our study group?
M: I’d love to. Thank you for inviting me.
Number 4
M: Do you like baseball?
W: I do! I want to go to the game on Friday.
Number 5
W: Would you like to have some peanut candy?
M: Thank you, but I can’t eat peanuts.
Number 6
M: Do you need help with something?
W: Oh, thank you. I’m looking for the library. Can you help me find it?

<Track R1-02>
W: I used to follow strange fashion trends. My friends and I would read about them in magazines. We
wanted to wear every outfit that we saw in them. But those clothes were expensive, and we didn’t have
much money. We couldn’t buy the brands that we saw, so we’d design our own clothes. Unfortunately,
we didn’t know what we were doing. Once, I made a skirt out of an old towel. My friend made a
blouse from wrapping paper. We learned a lot, though. Now, I’m a real clothing designer. Some of my
outfits have even been worn by celebrities.

<Unit 3>
<Track 03-01>
Number 1. This talk show is so long and boring.
Number 2. Dramas are so much fun to watch.
Number 3. That animation is such an interesting movie.
Number 4. My brother likes such scary movies.

<Track 03-02>
Number 1. I was so nervous when I went on the game show.
Number 2. That was such an interesting documentary.
Number 3. The horror movie was so scary.
Number 4. Daring Minutes is such an exciting action movie.

<Track 03-03>
M: Hey, Martina. Any big plans this weekend?
W: Oh. Hi, Dane. Hmm… Not really. My brother, Jim, is coming home from college, and we will probably
play games together.
M: That sounds like fun. What kinds of games do you guys play?
W: We play all kinds of online games. Jim is really into role-playing games like Game of Worlds. Have
you heard of it?
M: Oh yeah. My cousin, Mack, played that game for a little while. Now he’s more into fighting games
like Nightfort.
W: What about you, Dane? What kinds of games do you like?
M: I like racing games. They’re so exciting.
W: Oh? I didn’t know you liked games like that. I like shooting games—maybe because I’m competitive.
M: Haha. Yeah, that’s true. You are really competitive.
W: Hey!

<Track 03-04>
Number 1
W: I like folk music. I think the words have a deep meaning.
Number 2
M: I like jazz music. It’s my favorite because it’s relaxing.
Number 3
W: I like dance music. It’s the best music to move to.

<Track 03-05>
W: Up next, Stan O’Terry’s top games of the week.
M: Good morning, everyone! Let’s get right to the games.
My number-two pick this week is a first-person shooter called Call of PD. This is an exciting game, and
it’s full of action and adventure. You play as a police officer and fight an evil crime organization.
My number-one pick is an online racing game called Drag. I don’t play a lot of racing games, but this
one is amazing. The graphics and characters are great, and the music is so good.

<Unit 4>
<Track 04-01>
W: There have been many important inventions throughout history. However, few have been as
important as the steam engine. Steam engines helped to create the Industrial Revolution. The steam
engine provided power for big machines. These machines were used in factories to make all sorts of
goods. As more factories appeared, so did more jobs. Large numbers of people started to leave the
countryside. They moved to the city to work in factories. This changed the world forever.

<Track 04-02>
Number 1. It is rare that an invention changes the world, but very important when it does.
Number 2. The internet allows people to find information at the click of a button.
Number 3. The light bulb is Thomas Edison’s most famous invention.
Number 4. The scientist does research in the laboratory.
Number 5. Today, few goods are made by hand. Most are made by machine.

<Track 04-03>
Number 1
M: Before the mid-1990s, it was difficult to communicate with people far away. The best method was
the telephone. It was expensive to make a call to a foreign country. Also, the connection was never
very good. This changed with the introduction of the internet. With its introduction in the mid-1990s,
communication changed a lot.
Number 2
W: Books have been an important way of sharing information for centuries. However, for much of that
time, they were only available to the very rich. This was because books had to be written by hand. This
changed in the mid-1400s. At that time, a new type of printing press was developed. Now, books could
be printed quickly and cheaply.
Number 3
M: For generations, people dreamed of flying like birds, but reaching the skies was a difficult challenge.
The first flight was achieved by two brothers. No, not the Wright brothers. They flew the first airplane
in 1903. The first flight was achieved by the Montgolfier brothers in 1783. They achieved the first
manned flight by flying in a hot-air balloon.

<Track 04-04>
Number 1. Becky
W: I’m not sure what the future will be like, but I think people will live much longer. Medicine is
improving. I heard that the first person who will live to 150 could be alive right now.
Number 2. Henry
M: I think the future could be great, but we need to solve our environmental problems. There’s lots of
pollution. We will change the way we use resources.
Number 3. Tran
W2: We might finally have flying cars! I think flying cars were considered too dangerous in the past. But
with AI driving them, they would be much safer. Many car companies are designing flying cars as we
speak.
Number 4. Anthony
M2: I think entertainment will be very different in the future. Television and movies are becoming less
popular. Now, people make their own entertainment and share it. I think this will become a lot more
common.

<Track 04-05>
Number 1. First, people carried goods by hand.
Number 2. Second, people moved goods on horses.
Number 3. Third, people used wagons to move goods.
Number 4. Fourth, steam engines pulled many wagons at once.
Number 5. Today, trains still move lots of goods.

<Track 04-06>
Meredith
W: I’m a warehouse technician. I use computers and scanners to make sure the warehouse is fully
stocked with all the products we need.
Aaron
M: I work on a team with writers and computer programmers. Together, we work to make helpful
applications for phones and computers that make life easier. I’m an application designer.
Oliver
M2: Every time you watch a music video, I’ve had a hand in what you hear. I make sure the sound
levels remain the same throughout the video. I am a sound engineer.

<Review 3-4>
<Track R2-01>
Number 1. Give me a minute. I can’t make a decision.
Number 2. My favorite games are all fighting games.
Number 3. I don’t have any mobile devices. My parents won’t let me have one.
Number 4. I have to run some errands with my sister this afternoon.
Number 5. Have you seen the animation Top Flyers? It’s so good.
Number 6. Can you teach me how to control this model airplane?
Number 7. My favorite instrument in classical music is the cello.
Number 8. I’m really bored right now. Let’s do something.
Number 9. The doors are automatic, so just stand in front of them.
Number 10. Can you turn on the radio? I want to hear the game.

<Track R2-02>
M: Do you like video games, Linda?
W: Yes, Gary, I do.
M: What type of video game do you like?
W: I really like puzzle games.
M: Why do you like to play that kind of game?
W: I like to play them on my phone. Puzzle games work well on a phone.
M: What do you think games will be like in the future?
W: Perhaps they will all be in 3D. Have you seen those headsets that you can put your phone in?

<Track R2-03>
M: Movies are loved by millions of people. There are many popular genres, such as drama, comedy,
and animation. The most popular genre is adventure. This genre has made over 60 billion dollars this
year! People may be shocked to learn that movies are becoming less popular. Why is this? Other forms
of entertainment are competing for peoples’ attention. One of the most popular is video games. People
of all ages are starting to enjoy video games. This is because they can become an active part of the
story. In the past, video games were simple. Now, they have complex storylines. Many stories are more
complicated than movies. In the future, more stories may be told through video games than through
movies.

<Unit 5>
<Track 05-01>
M: This is my favorite restaurant. I eat here every chance I get! I’m really hungry today, so one slice of
pizza won’t be enough for me. I think I could eat a whole pizza!
W: That’ll be too much! You won’t be able to finish a whole pizza. What if you just ordered two slices
instead?
M: OK. Fine… What are you going to get? They have salads and tasty burgers here, too.
W: The burgers look good. How is the spicy chicken?
M: The chicken could be a little spicier, but it's still a good choice.

<Track 05-02>
Number 1
M: Mom, what do we need to make breakfast?
W: We will need some dry ingredients. Can you get out the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar? You
can put them on the counter.
M: Sure! Here you go.
Number 2
W: Great. Next, we will need the wet ingredients. Can you get the milk and eggs? We will need some
butter too. They are all in the refrigerator.
M: Got’em. Now, what do we need?
W: We need the measuring cups and measuring spoons.
Number 3
M: How do we know how much to use?
W: The recipe tells us. For pancakes, we need one and a half cups of flour. We also need three
teaspoons of baking powder, a teaspoon of salt, and three teaspoons of sugar.
M: Do I put them all in the big bowl?
W: Yes.
Number 4
W: Now, we need to mix in the wet ingredients. Pour in one and quarter cups of milk. Do you know
how to crack an egg?
M: Yes, I know how. Like this. Oops! I got some of the shell in there.
W: It’s OK. I can get it out easily. Now, mix it all together.
Number 5
M: What about the butter? We haven’t added it in.
W: Oh! I forgot about that. The recipe says we need to melt three tablespoons of butter and then mix
it in.
M: I can do it.
W: Wonderful. Now, we have pancake batter.

<Track 05-03>
M: I need to make a list of what everyone wants to eat at the party this weekend.
W: I know that Sam would prefer vegetarian options. He likes carrots, broccoli, and celery.
M: That sounds good. I’ll add them to my list. How about you, Meg? What do you like to eat?
W: I would rather eat junk food, to be honest. I love chips. They’re great for parties.
M: That sounds good, too. I can ask my mom to pick up a few bags of salty snacks from the store. I
know my little brother, Jack, loves pretzels.
W: And you, Greg? What food will you add to the list?
M: Since it’s my birthday, I want a cake. I don’t like sweets, though. I think a delicious carrot cake
sounds great.
W: Sam will definitely eat that!

<Unit 6>
<Track 06-01>
M: Hi. I’m Eric. I’m an EMT, or emergency medical technician. As an EMT, I see many emergencies. Sadly,
I can’t be there to help everyone who is hurt. So, it's a good idea to learn first aid-that way, you can
help in an emergency. First aid is not just putting on bandages. It’s understanding symptoms. It’s
knowing how to act and being careful. Let’s say you’re outside on a hot day. Your friend starts feeling
strange. Her heart is beating quickly. She feels dizzy. Her skin is warm, red, and dry. She may have heat
stroke! What do you do? Get her out of the sun. An air-conditioned building would be best. Spray her
with cool water. If you can, place ice on her neck.

<Track 06-02>
Number 1
W: First, put pressure on the bite to stop the bleeding. Then, clean and bandage the wound. Many
animals carry diseases. Visit a doctor if you have been bitten.
Number 2
W: For minor burns, hold the area under cool, not cold, water. Cover the wound with a bandage. To
help with pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Number 3
W: Sit up straight. Do not lie down or tilt the head back. Pinch or hold the nose closed just below the
bone. Keep pressure for five minutes. If bleeding continues, apply pressure again.

<Track 06-03>
Number 1
M: Do you mind if I put on some music?
W: I’d rather you not.
Number 2
W: May I please go to Jessica’s party?
M: No, you may not!
Number 3
M: Would I be able to join the meeting?
W: Sure, feel free.
Number 4
W: Can I play the game too?
M: Of course you can.

<Track 06-04>
M: Hi, Mom and Dad! It’s Dan. I wanted to call and ask your permission to attend the Bridge Music
Festival this weekend. It’s going to be so cool! They have permission to close the Main Street Bridge.
They’ve set up a stage right in the middle. It’s going to be Saturday night. It’s $25 for tickets. But if I
get them tonight, I can get a free T-shirt too. Call me when you get this message. Talk to you soon!

<Track 06-05>
Number 1. The man is not injured.
Number 2. You can heat the food again in a microwave.
Number 3. Dinosaurs lived before people could record their history.

<Review 5-6>
<Track R3-01>
W: It’s important to know how to act in an emergency. You may have only seconds to save a life.
Imagine that you smell smoke. There could be a fire. Follow these rules to keep safe. First, you must
get out of the building. Look around. Find a safe exit. Exit the building quickly, and then call for help. If
you or a friend is injured, get to a safe place as quickly as possible. Don’t delay. Seek medical help
immediately. If your clothes are on fire, you must not run. Drop to ground and roll around to kill the
flames. Follow these instructions, and you’ll avoid trouble in the event of a fire.

<Track R3-02>
M: When a person commits a crime, they cause problems for everyone. We shouldn’t allow people to
get away with this kind of behavior. Police arrest all the criminals they can, but what happens after that?
After an arrest, the criminal is punished. If a criminal has committed a small crime, they will likely be
given a fine. If the criminal has committed a larger crime, they may be put in jail.

<Unit 7>
<Track 07-01>
Number 1
M: So, which dress are you going to buy?
W: Well, I really like the green dress, but it’s too small. The red dress is the perfect size.
Number 2
W: Oh my goodness. It’s so hot in Albuquerque. It’s 38 degrees Celsius.
M: That’s nothing. It’s 42 degrees Celsius in Phoenix right now.
Number 3
M: Do you know that a cheetah can run up to 110 kilometers per hour?
W: That’s fast, but a falcon can dive at 389 kilometers per hour.

<Track 07-02>
M: Hey Megan, what are you up to today? I have to do some shopping for Mom. Do you want to
come with me?
W: Sure, Dave, I’ll go with you. Where are we headed? Will we be very long? I have a lot of homework
to work on.
M: Just to the market down the road. Mom needs some things for dinner, like onions and lettuce.
W: That sounds good. That market has a lot of really good bargains. We'll be able to get a lot of goods
there. And there’s one stall that sells the best strawberries.
M: Great! We don’t have a lot of time or money to spend there. Mom only needs a few vegetables, but
maybe we can get some of those strawberries.
W: Fantastic! They are a lot better than the ones at the superstore downtown.
<Track 07-03>
W: Les, it’s so good to see you today!
M: Oh. Hey, Magda. I wish I could stop to chat, but I’m in a hurry.
W: Don’t worry about it. Where are you headed?
M: I need to get to the department store before it closes. I’m picking up a gift for my grandmother.
W: I’m just waiting for my cousin, Jason.
M: What are you guys up to today? Anything fun?
W: We have to go over to the traditional market downtown. They have more food there than at other
stores. Our moms are hosting a huge dinner for our family.
M: Well, if you can’t find something at the market, the big superstore probably has it. It’s more
expensive than the market, though.
W: Christine is on her way there to pick up a big cake. They have a little more variety there.

<Track 07-04>
W: Come to the Pleasant Town Farmer’s Market. You will find dozens of stalls selling wonderful things.
Are you looking for fresh vegetables? Farmers from our local community offer fresh vegetables picked
the same day. Are you interested in craft goods? You can find bargains on unique artistic pieces. You
don’t even need to spend money. You can trade for something cool at our exchange booth. Our
location is at the southeast corner of the fairground. Come this weekend for the best day of shopping.

<Track 07-05>
Number 1
M: I need to get my sister a birthday present. I know she really likes unique dresses. I think I’ll find one
in the little store on the corner.
Number 2
W: I am not feeling well today. I will pick up some medicine on my way home. There’s a place near my
house where I can go.
Number 3
M: I want to go shopping for some food. And maybe I’ll pick up some snacks for the party tonight.
Number 4
W: This shop is amazing! The clothes are used, but they are really high quality. I can get the best
clothes, and I am paying the cheapest prices!
Number 5
M: I don’t really like to shop in regular stores. Malls are the most crowded places! I would rather stay
home and shop from my computer.
<Unit 8>
<Track 08-01>
Number 1
W: Hello. I'm Kate. I love animals. It makes me sad that so many animals don’t have homes. I can’t take
them all home with me, but I can still help. I volunteer at the animal shelter. I clean cages, feed the
dogs and cats, and play with the animals. If you want a pet, be sure to come to the animal shelter.
There are many lovely animals here.
M: a. She builds homes for animals.
b. She volunteers at the animal shelter.
c. She is studying to be an animal doctor.

Number 2
M: Hey! Nice to meet you. I'm Dave. I’m an athletic person. Health is very important to me. That’s why I
help with my little brother’s soccer team. I’m an assistant coach. I help kids improve their soccer skills. I
help them improve their health too. I’ve helped my brother a lot. He got a goal in the last game. I was
so proud.
M: a. He plays soccer.
b. He gives kids medicine.
c. He helps his brother’s soccer team.

Number 3
W: Cindy here. The pollution in our environment seems like a really big problem. But I do what I can. I
volunteer to clean the parks in my community. Every weekend, I go to the park to pick up trash. I
usually gather a big bag. Then, I make sure the trash goes where it should. I can’t fix the problems with
our environment all by myself. But I can make a difference. And my park looks great!
M: a. She cleans her park.
b. She fixed the environment all by herself.
c. She plants trees in her park.

<Track 08-02>
Number 1. Whenever you do something dangerous, safety should be your top concern.
Number 2. If the air pollution gets too bad, you should wear a mask.
Number 3. Many factories create a lot of pollution.
Number 4. Our changing climate is a dangerous situation.
Number 5. Everybody deserves fresh air to breathe.

<Track 08-03>
W: There has been a terrible accident. An oil tanker has sunk off the coast. Thousands of gallons of oil
are now in the ocean. It’s washing up on shore. It’s harming the beach and animals. We’re getting
together on Saturday, June 3rd to clean Rock Beach. Bring your sunscreen, hat, and gloves. If you can
join us, contact Erin at: [email protected].

<Track 08-04>
Number 1
M: Hurry, or we’ll miss the train!
Number 2
M: You must have permission to participate in the science fair.
Number 3
W: I hope I win the contest.

<Track 08-05>
W: We’re getting ready for the science fair. It will be held on April 26th. It will be held in the gym. You
must have a permission slip. These permission slips are due next Friday. I recommend you get them in
as soon as possible. I hope you will all be there.

<Track 08-06>
M: Hey, Tina! What do you have?
W: Hi, Paul. These are the invitations for my wedding. Do you want to see them?
M: Yeah, show me!
W: The front of the card is blue, and the back is yellow. On the front, there’s a picture of flowers.
M: What’s inside the card? Is it empty?
W: Of course not. I have to include the information about the wedding, don’t I?
M: Yes, that’s true.
W: Inside, I say who is getting married. I have the time and date. I also tell people where the wedding
will be.
M: What’s this little card inside the invitation?
W: That’s the RSVP. People send that back if they can come to the wedding. That way, I can check if I
have enough seats at the wedding. I can check if I have enough food for everyone, too.
<Track 08-07>
Number 1. I have a test coming up, so I’ll want to go over my notes tonight.
Number 2. The price of grapes will go up because of the cold weather.
Number 3. This is my lunch. Go away and get your own food.
Number 4. I forgot my phone. I’ll need to go back to my house.
Number 5. Would you like to go out to see a movie?
Number 6. The temperature will go down once the sun sets.

<Track 08-08>
W: I think it’s important to study every night. I know that I do much better on tests when I take the
right amount of time to study. Schools should make a rule that students must study every night.
M: I disagree, Kim. Everyone learns in their own way. Students should study, but everyone learns a
different way. Making a rule that students should study every night wouldn’t help them.
W: I don’t see it that way, Daniel. I think every student would benefit from increased study time.
M: I agree that students should study more. I just don’t think there should be a rule that they must
study every night.

M: Hi, Joan. Where are you heading?
W: Hi, Sam. I need to go to the pharmacy.
M: Oh? Are you feeling sick?
W: I’m not, but my mom is. I’m going to get her some medicine.

<Track R4-02>
W: Hey, Jake. What should we do together?
M: Hello, Lacy. I’d like to go to the bookstore.
W: That sounds good. Is there something going on there?
M: I have this flyer. It says there’s a sale on mystery books. Plus, there’s a 30%-off coupon attached.
W: Nice!

<Track R4-03>
M: I need a new phone, but I don’t know which one to buy.
W: The Melon 7 and the Universe 6 are the best phones on sale right now.
M: I like the Melon 7. What do you think?
W: I like that one too, but I actually prefer Universe phones.
M: Oh? Why is that?
W: I just find the Universe phones are easier to use. They have a much simpler layout.
M: I see. How much is the Universe 6?
W: It’s $1,000, but you can make payments over two years.
M: That’s way too expensive! I’m not going to pay $1,000 for a phone!
W: Well, the Melon 7 costs about the same.
M: Oh no! I need a more affordable option. What can I do?
W: You can get the Universe 5. It’s a little slower than the 6, but it’s still really good.
M: OK. I think I’ll do that.

<Track 09-01>
W: What do you think is the most important discovery of all time?
M: Well, I think that the discovery that Earth is a planet is the most important.
W: What? There was a time when people didn’t know that Earth was a planet?
M: Yes. People thought that Earth was the center of the universe. They didn’t understand what outer
space was.
W: So, they didn’t know that the earth moved around the sun?
M: Nope. They thought Earth was fixed. The sun, the moon, the stars, and the planets moved around it.
W: Who figured out that Earth wasn’t the center of the universe?
M: Nicolaus Copernicus did. He did a lot of research in the early 1500s to prove it.

<Track 09-02>
Number 1
M: Flooding in coal mines was a big problem. So in 1712, Thomas Newcomen wanted to make a pump
to stop floods. He needed one that worked quickly, so he developed a fuel-burning engine. It used
steam to power a piston. It was the first steam engine. Later, other inventors improved upon
Newcomen’s design. These steam engines would power all sorts of machines. The world was about to
change forever.
Number 2
W: The French government wanted to keep food fresh for long periods of time. They needed fresh
food for soldiers. They offered a large amount of money as a reward. Nicolas Appert took up the
challenge. He knew that if food was cooked after it was sealed in a jar, it would not go bad. He
perfected the process in 1809. He called it canning.

<Track 09-03>
Number 1
M: The first car was invented in 1886. It was very different from anything before it. It was powered by
an engine, so it didn’t need a horse. But it was very different from modern cars as well. It only had
three wheels, and it didn’t have a roof.
Number 2
W: When people first wanted to explore the ocean floor, they held their breath. They would swim as
deep as they could and stay down as long as they could. Usually, this was only a few minutes. Then,
people developed diving suits. A pump on a ship filled the suit with air. Now, a diver could stay in the
water a long time. Today, people use self-contained diving equipment.

<Track 09-04>
M: Life was different when my father was my age. He used to spend a lot of time at the arcade. This
was a place where people would play video games. He used to ask for his allowance in quarters. He
would play a video game for one quarter. It sounds expensive. I’m glad I can play video games at
home. In the near future, we’ll be able to play video games anywhere. Soon, most games will be
released on phones and tablets.

<Track 09-05>
Number 1
W: The steam engine was very important. Without it, the Industrial Revolution could not have
happened. The steam engine changed how goods were made. It also changed how goods were moved.
Steam-powered locomotives moved heavy loads quickly over long distances. It made the world smaller.
Number 2
M: In the past, keeping food fresh was hard. People relied on salt and dried food. They also ate food
that was spoiled. Refrigerators changed this. People could keep food fresh longer. They could move
food from farms to cities. Refrigerators made food better tasting and healthier for everyone.
Number 3
W: There was a time when disease would strike without warning. No one knew why. It must have been
terrifying. Fortunately, people began to understand disease. They were able to develop medicines. They
developed vaccines. Now, people could fight back against diseases.

Number 1
W: My summer break is coming, and I want to take a trip. I want to get away from the stress of the city.
I want to go someplace quiet. I want a relaxing time, but I don’t want to rough it. I just want to lie next
to the water.

Number 2
M: I offered to buy my little cousin a toy. I didn’t realize how hard it is to buy kid's toys. He didn’t want
an electronic toy. He wanted something he could play with in the water, but he thought animal toys
were for babies. He couldn't decide what to buy. I had an idea, though. We found him the perfect toy
submarine to play with while he's in the bathtub.

Number 3
W: It was my birthday yesterday. My parents wanted to take me out for dinner. Of course, I wanted
something healthy, so no hamburgers. Usually, I’d choose a nice salad. But last night, I wanted
something hot. I knew just where to go.

Speaker 1
W: Hello. I’m Janice. I’ll be your waitress. Are you ready to order?
M: Yes, I think I’d like soup. What soups do you have today?
W: We have tomato soup or mushroom soup. You can get either a small cup, or a larger bowl.
M: I think I’ll have a small bowl of tomato soup. Thank you.

Speaker 2
W: And what can I get for you?
W2: I’m in the mood for Mexican, but I don’t really want tacos.
W: We have a beef burrito that’s really good.
W2: Perfect! I will take that. Thanks.

Speaker 3
W: What would you like to have?
M2: I’d like a salad, but could I have it with chicken?
W: Sure. We can add chicken to a salad for an additional two dollars.
M2: That would be great.

Speaker 4
W: And, for you?
M3: I want something spicy.
W: We have some very spicy chicken wings.
M3: OK. I’ll have the wings.

W: I’ll get that right out to you.

Number 1
M: We had to choose topics for our writing assignment. I decided to write about sharks. Did you know
that one hundred million sharks are killed each year? I think they need a lot of help. That’s why I chose
to write about them. Maybe someone will have an idea for how to help them.

Number 2
W: Choosing the right college or university is really important. It’s a hard choice. It can cause stress
because there are so many options. Some people choose their college based on how much it costs.
Others choose it based on how close it is to their family. The best reason is because of the courses
they offer. That’s why I’ll likely choose Fredrick’s College. I’m going to study to be a vet.

Number 3
M: My family has always run marathons. I liked to run with them, but a marathon is really long. It takes
a lot of training to run one. You have to be in really good shape. But I wanted to challenge myself. I
wanted to see how far I could run. That’s why I started running marathons. My record so far is 4 hours
and 5 minutes.

<Track 10-04>
Number 1
M: My work is going so slowly. Who knew it would take so long to paint a fence? It would go faster
with some help. Do you think you’d be able to lend a hand?

Number 2
W: I’m in charge of decorating for the school dance. I need help, though. There’s so much to do. Are
you free to help for about two hours on Friday afternoon? It’ll be a lot of fun.

Number 3
M: This couch is really heavy. There’s no way I could move it alone. It would be much easier with
someone else’s help. Could you help me?

Number 4
W: Every weekend, I volunteer to serve food to people in need. There used to be lots of volunteers.
Now there are just a few. Will you help us? It’s for a good cause.

Number 5
M: I have to present my research in class on Monday. I’m a bit nervous. I don’t like speaking in front of
people. Maybe I could practice with you? Would you listen to me present my research?

<Track 10-05>
W: Would you like to put a smile on a child’s face? Every child should have a gift for the holiday, but
many are alone at this time of year. Do you have time to serve a meal or laugh with a child? Do you
have an extra toy that you can bring in? We’re planning a special day for children without families. We
will meet at the convention center. The date will be Saturday, December 20th. Anyone who would like
to volunteer should contact our organization.
<Track 10-06>
M: Hi. I’m wondering if you can help me. I’m looking for a gift.
W: Sure. Who is the gift for?
M: My sister. She is graduating from high school. She’ll be starting college next fall.
W: Did you have anything specific in mind?
M: Well, I want to get her something nice, but it needs to be something appropriate.
W: What about a new tablet? That would be helpful at college.
M: Oh! That might be a bit too expensive, though.

M: In the past, pirates used to sail in the Atlantic Ocean. They were brave, but they weren't good
people. They would attack ships. They would kill people. The pirates took treasure from the ships. We
often think that they would take gold coins and jewels, but most pirates took food, drinks, and supplies.
Sometimes, pirate ships would sink. Where those ships are now is a mystery. Today, several clever
treasure hunters are looking for the lost ships. When they discover a lost ship, they carefully remove
the treasure.
