Lead-in
  • What do you usually do in your free time?

4
Pre-listening
  • 1. How do you spend your time after
  • school?
  • 2. Do you meet any people other than
  • high school students, and where do
  • you meet them?
  • 3. Does anyone here have a part-time
  • job? What are the advantages and

5
  • disadvantages of having a part-time
  • job?
  • Yes. I think having a part-time job has
    some advantages. First, doing a part-time job can
    give us useful experience of our world and
    enlarge our knowledge. Second, we can earn

6
  • some money to support ourselves and share the
    burden with our parents. We can use the money to
    buy what we want or pay a tuition fee. Third,
    during the work we can meet different kinds of
    people and communicate with them. We will get a
    lot of fun.

7
  • No. Because we are students now. The main
    task for us is studying hard to go to university.
    A part-time job will cost much of our time and
    energy.

Listening
  • Listen to the tape and fill in the most
    important percentages mentioned in the text in
    the chart below.

Listening Text
  • On 8th November 2004, a survey was
    conducted among 400 Chinese students at different
    universities in Auckland. The purpose of the
    survey was to discover what the students do in
    their free time, after school.

10
  • The survey was conducted by means of a
    questionnaire given to the students to complete.
    The first section of the questionnaire dealt with
    the students free time activities. The second
    part was concerned with the types of jobs
    students did, if any.

11
  • The most important results from the survey
    were as follows. In the first section, 81 of the
    students complained that school took up too muck
    time, and that they were given too much homework.
    44 of the students said they would like to have
    a part-time job, but simply did not

12
  • have the time. Another 40 of the students
    said they had part-time jobs. The following
    comments and observations can be made about the
    way students spend their time after school. They
    are based on answers given by the students on
    part one of the questionnaire. 75 said they

13
  • sometimes went shopping, while 69 sometimes
    go to the cinema, 62 said they spend most of
    their time doing homework, and 56 Sometimes
    spend time sleeping or doing nothing at all. A
    quarter of the students said they spend all their
    time on school and homework.

14
  • The second part of the questionnaire was
    only filled out by students who had a part-time
    job. Most of them (94) said that it had been
    easy to find a job, with 60 saying this was
    their first job. 81 said that their parents had
    protested, but give in on the condition that
    their school results

15
  • would not suffer. All students said that the
    greatest advantage of having a part-time job lay
    in having more money, though 23 of the students
    said working with and getting to know other
    people was something they enjoyed. Asked what
    they use the money for, students mentioned

16
  • various free-time occupations, as described in
    part one of the survey. Of all other things they
    spend their wages on, the most important were
    phone calls (40), followed closely by clothes
    and make (35) and going out (15). Only 10 of
    the students said they put away money in a
    savings account.

17
  • The results of the survey seem to suggest
    that Chinese students abroad have little time for
    part-time jobs. They spend most of their free
    time doing homework. However, an increasing
    number of students look for jobs. They seem to
    enjoy it, and

18
  • are able to combine it with their school work.
    While the majority of the students said the main
    motive to look for a job was money, about one
    fifth of the students enjoyed contacts and
    getting to know people in a different setting,
    away from school.

Listening Text
  • Dialogue 1
  • Jeff is seeing one of his teachers to
  • talk about his career choices.
  • TTeacher JJeff
  • T Take a seat, Jeff. What can I do for
  • you?

21
  • J Well, Id like to have another talk
  • with you about my career choices.
  • T If I remember well, you are going to
  • be a salesman, right?
  • J Yeah, well. Ive changed my mind
  • again. I want to become a vet. I
  • really like working with animals.

22
  • T Oh, but thats quite a big change
  • from what we talked about last
  • time. Are you sure about this?
  • J Yes. I think working as a vet I can
  • earn much better wages.
  • T But Jeff, look here. You arent that
  • good at biology, and last time you

23
  • said going to college was not for you.
  • How will you be able to do that?
  • J I will work very hard.
  • T Listen, Jeff. This may be a
  • disappointment, but I think this is
  • not a good idea. I know it sounds
  • good, but it requires many years of

24
  • study to become a vet. Im not sure whether
    you can manage that. Think it over, will you?

25
  • Dialogue 2
  • Lisa and Helen are chatting about their
    future.
  • LLisa HHelen
  • L Hi, Helen. How are you doing? Its
  • only a few more months.
  • H A few more months? What do you
  • mean, Lisa?

26
  • L The exams, of course! Arent you
  • getting nervous?
  • H Nervous, why?
  • L Well, dont you think theyre all
  • important?
  • H Theyre important, but why should
  • I worry? I think Ive always been
  • quite a good student, so I think I

27
  • have noting to fear.
  • L Quite good is not good enough, you
  • know. If you want to go to Beida,
  • youve got to come out first.
  • H I dont want to go to Beida. I want
  • to go to a local university, here in
  • our own province.
  • L How can you say that? Youve got

28
  • to try your best.
  • H I will, but Ive already made up my
  • mind. I dont want to live in a big
  • city far from home. Even if I get a
  • top score, I will stay here. You
  • know, studying at a local university
  • youll have less competition and
  • better chances.

29
Homework
  • 1. Make a questionnaire in our class
  • about the habits of solving the
  • problems students meet in study.
  • Fox example, how many students
  • would like to turn to teachers, how

30
  • many students will ask the
  • classmates for help and how many
  • students will give up the problems.
  • Then make a summary with a chart.
  • 2. Preview the Reading part.
