1The people in the podcast mainly talk about whether they go out a lot and what they did when they went out last night.
2I have a 1)(busy) social life. I go out most nights after work with 2)(friends). Last night,
I went out for a meal with an old friend from 3)(university) – it was really good to see
her. Tell me about your 4)(social life). Do you go out a lot? 3ACEDBF
4She went to a club and 1)(danced) all night.
She had dinner in an Italian restaurant and enjoyed the 2)(view of the river) and lots of
3)(fun) with the family.
She went to the cinema and then met some friends for a 4)(drink) in town. She went to Westfield Shopping Center in the 5)(west)of London and enjoyed a
6)(delicious meal) there.

6Yes, I go out a lot with my friends. After a long week of study, going out at weekends can help me relax, so I can go back to study with a refreshed mind. / No, I don't go out
a lot because I have no time. I'm taking many courses at college, so I have to spend
most of my time studying.
I like going to shopping malls. I also like going to the cinema and the theater.
Sometimes I go to museums and art galleries, too.
I went shopping with my best friend last weekend. After that we went to a café and
had a cup of coffee. Yes, I enjoyed it because I took a break from study and I had a good time with my best friend. / No, I didn't enjoy it because there were too many people in the store. Besides, it was so noisy in the café that my friend and I could hardly hear each other. 1-3Listening
1I admire my mother most. She loves my brother and me so much that she would do everything for us. At the same time, she always encourages us to be independent and try our best to do what we like. As a teacher, she has also set a good example for me.
She has worked as a primary school teacher for about 30 years and she has never got tired of her work. She spends a lot of time helping her students, especially those with learning difficulties. I'm very proud of her. Live and work with pleasure – this is what I have learned from her. 2 1. Baruti was born in the year (1962).
2. He was the (fourth / 4th)child in a very big family. 3. Baruti married his wife in (1990)
4. Together they opened an orphanage in (1996)
3Baruti was born in Johannesburg. His father was a 1)(teacher)and his mother 2)(cleaned houses)for rich people. When Baruti was in school, one of his friends 3)(lost)his parents and moved to an orphanage. Baruti 4)(visited)him and when he saw his life there, he decided to 5)(work)with orphans. Later he opened an orphanage with 6)(his wife).
Baruti regards Mother Teresa as his hero and his favorite book is Long Walk to Freedom, the story of Nelson Mandela's life 7)(in his own words). 4Mother Teresa's words tell us that small things can make a great
difference. Few of us can do anything great, but we can all do small things with great love.
My favorite book is Steve Jobs. The book is based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, foes, competitors, and colleagues. Jobs spoke honestly about the people he worked with and competed against. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly too. So through the book, readers can not only read about the life of the
legendary Steve Jobs, but also have a genuine view of his personality that shaped his approach to business and his products.
When I was seven years old, my parents bought a new wall clock with an owl inside. I was very curious about how the owl moved its eyes and gave out sound. One day, I took the clock off the wall, and took it apart with a screwdriver. After an hour, I still couldn't figure out how the clock worked, and I couldn't put all the parts together. I was scared. But when my father found what I had done, instead of scolding me, he praised me for my eagerness to learn. And he taught me how to assemble the clock.
This experience made me love my father more. And more importantly, I fell in love with mechanics since then. That's why I chose mechanics as my major.

There are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camp or 1)(programs / programmes)away from home before, but for some it's the 2)(very)first time they've left home. That means having to make certain 3)(decisions)that they've never really had to make before.
Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4)(doing laundry), there are many more important matters, such as whom to
become friends with. \Does that mean I should change fields?\
5)(Obviously), there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It's really
a jump from high school.
It's such a change when they don't have any parents around. They need to make
6)(choices)with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act
in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7)(ruining)their studies.
This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8)(get used to)their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives.
There are a lot of 9)(opportunities)for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it's not working for them, they can 10)(step back)and try something else. They should just give it a go! That's the way everybody learns to grow up. 3BC DC
