Two Belgians and two Dutchmen traveled regularly to work on the same train. After a while the Dutchmen saw that the two Belgians only had one ticket between them and asked how they managed to achieve this. The Belgians explained that when they heard the conductor approaching from the other end of the carriage, the two of them left their seats, went into the toilet and locked the door. When the conductor knocked on the toilet door, saying, \ticket under the door. It was then stamped and pushed back under the door again. The Dutchmen thought this was a very good idea and the following morning bought one ticket between them. When they got to their carriage there was only one Belgian. They told him what they had done and asked the Belgian if he had a ticket as he was traveling on his own.
The Belgian said he did not have a ticket at all and when they asked how he proposed to manage to travel free of charge, he told them they would have to wait and see until the conductor arrived, but he had no doubt that he would manage it without difficulty.
As soon as they heard the conductor coming, the two Dutchmen immediately went to the toilet and locked the door. A few moments later, the Belgian followed them down the corridor and knocked on the toilet door, saying, \ Questions:

Ex1: 1 department store 2. attend college 3. difficult 4. physical education 5. terrified Ex2: FTTFT Scripts:
My name is Atsuko Saeki. I work as a salesclerk in a big department store in Fuji, Japan. Six years ago when I was 21 years old, I went to California to attend college. Life in the United States was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. It wasn't like the descriptions I had read in my textbooks. People often seemed tense and so I felt very alone.
One of my hardest classes was physical education. We often played volleyball. All the other students were good at it, but I clearly wasn't. One afternoon, the teacher asked me to hit the ball to my classmates. For most people, this would be easy but I was terrified that I would make a fool of myself. When one of the boys on my team saw how nervous I was, he walked up to me and whispered, \
You can't imagine how those words of encouragement made me feel. I was so happy that I almost cried. I managed to hit the ball and I think I thanked the young man, but I'm not sure.
I have never forgotten his kind words of encouragement. He probably doesn't even remember what he said to me or how much his kindness meant to me. Whenever things aren't going well, I think of those simple words of encouragement: Come on, you can do that.
We often forget that our words can have a powerful impact on other people. Even a simple word—good or bad—can have a lasting effect. Listening 3

Ex2: 1. 60 2. making up 3. various parts 4. printed 5. Never before 6. personal letter 7. bless you Scripts: The first part: Dear Miss Austen,
I was so happy to receive your letter. It means so much to me. I never expected such a detailed response. I am eighty years old and I am blind. There is little I can do except knit and that is why I knit so many caps, sweaters and scarves. Of course, I can't write, so my daughter-in-law is writing this letter for me.
I know a little bit about the work you are doing. At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to work as a missionary to China. For 40 years, with an occasional year at home in America, we worked in China. We had two sons, only one of whom is still alive. After 40 years, my husband's health began to fail. We moved back to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York. When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter-in-law. The second part:
What I most wanted to say is this. For 60 years I have been making up missionary packages of clothing, food, medicine, or books. I have sent them to various parts of the world. Sometimes I have received a printed slip of acknowledgement, sometimes nothing. Never before in all these years have I had a personal letter describing the village and telling me who are wearing the clothing and what they said. I never thought that in my lifetime I would receive a letter like that. May God bless you.

Interviewer: You experienced a misunderstanding when you worked in Singapore, didn't you? Carol: Mmm, yes—quite a few, actually.
Interviewer: Can you tell us about one, then.?
Carol: Um, well, I had this red lump on my left leg. One night the pain was really bad and I became scared. So the next day I went to the hospital and they cut out the lump and stitched me up. Then I heard the doctor say to his assistant, \return in five days to have my stitches out and get my result. However, for some reason, I got the days mixed up and missed my appointment! It was a day late! Interviewer: Go on...
Carol: I phoned up the hospital and the receptionist said the doctor wasn't in, but she'd put me through to his assistant. Oh, my heart was pounding by this time and my mouth was all dry. Interviewer: With stress?
Carol: Yes. I was really nervous. Anyhow, the assistant said \she got my card. When she returned to the phone she said, \to the doctor in person.\ Interviewer: Oh dear!
Carol: \doctor will tell you about the treatment.\got cancer. I felt sick quite literally \talk to the doctor?\said she'd get him to call me later that morning. Interviewer: Oh, no, poor you! What did you do?
Carol: Oh, I went to work. But I couldn't concentrate or work straight. Every time the phone rang, I nearly passed out. I kept ringing the hospital, but the doctor was late. Eventually, he rang me up. Oh, I was really shaking. He said, \said. \didn't your assistant tell me that? It would have saved me all this worry!\said. He did apologize, though. Interviewer: How scary!
Carol: Yeah. A couple of days later I got a letter from the hospital with the results of the tests. It said that I'd had some kind of \that it was a benign kind of tumor. I think the assistant must have seen the word \immediately thought it meant cancer. That was a day I'll never forget.

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.
Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.
When he got out, the other frogs said, \that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. Questions:
