TAPESCRIPT
Bob: It makes my blood boil when people throw rubbish on the streets. In my area, it’s so messy! Sometimes, it seems as if there’s rubbish everywhere ― on the pavements, in the gutters, even in people’s gardens. I mean, why can’t people just put their rubbish in a bin – there are plenty around! It’s a disgrace!
Helen: It really gets on my nerves that public transport is so crowded in my city. It’s impossible to drive into the city now, because there’s nowhere to park, so basically everyone goes to work or school by bus. I guess that’s good for the environment, but there should be more buses at peak times or they should build an underground train system or something. It’s just so horrible standing up all the way to school and sometimes I can’t even get onto the bus in the first place. I just can’t put up with it anymore.
Peter: It really annoys me that there are so many stray dogs in the streets in my town. Apart from the fact that I feel very sorry for the poor animals that are left out on the street, it’s a public health problem! Just the other week, a child was bitten by a stray dog! I mean, surely it’s not difficult for the council to have the animals picked up by an animal protection agency? It’s a disgrace!
Students’ answers: The amount of rubbish everywhere makes Bob’s blood boil. It’s disgrace. Overcrowded public transport and lack of parking really gets on Helen’s nerves. She just can’t put up with it anymore. Stay dogs really annoys Peter. It’s disgrace.
Teacher: Listen again and say what ways of solving the problems do they suggest?
Students’ answers: Bob suggests people to put their rubbish in a bin, he thinks there are plenty of them around. Helen believes there should be more buses at peak times or the council should build an underground train system in the city. Peter feels sorry for the poor animals on the street and thinks that it’s not difficult for the council to have the animals picked up by an animal protection agency.
5. WORK IN PAIRS
Teacher: Use the following ideas to discuss, as in the example.
Example: You see someone dropping litter on the pavement. A: It really gets on my nerves when people drop litter on the pavement. B: Yes, it gets on my nerves, too. Why can’t they use the bins?
The ideas: 1. Your neighbour’s dog has fouled in front of your house. 2. You walk past an alley that stinks of rubbish. 3. You have been asked to by a pirate CD/DVD while you are at a café. 4. You are on a busy bus squashed up against other people.
Students’ answers: 1. A: It drives me crazy when people let their dogs foul on the pavement outside my house.
B: Yes, it drives me crazy too. Why can’t they scoop it up?
2. A: It’s a disgrace the stink that comes from all that rubbish.
B: Yes, it’s awful. Why can’t they clean the streets more regularly?
3. A: It makes my blood boil when people ask me to buy pirate CDs and DVDs.
B: It doesn’t really bother me.
4. A: It really annoys me when they allow too many people to board the bus.
B: Yes, it gets on my nerves too.
6. READING
Teacher: Read the first two exchanges in the dialogue. Where does the conversation take place? What do you think Bob wants?
[pic]
Students’ answers: The conversation takes place in the neighbourhood. Bob wants his neighbor to do something to stop his rubbish smelling so much.
Teacher: Read the dialogue again and answer the questions. 1. What is annoying Bob? 2. What is Tom’s reaction to Bob’s complain? 3. What does Bob suggest as a solution? 4. What is Tom’s first reaction to Bob’s suggestion? 5. How does Bob persuade Tom to do what he wants?
7. SPEAKING
Teacher: You are going to work in pairs. You can use the phrases from the cards and the previous dialogue as a model to make and act out your own dialogue by the following situation: Your neighbour’s dog is keeping you awake at night. Teacher may ask some questions to help the students to make the dialogue. What is annoying you? (the dog is keeping me awake at night)What can be your neighbour’s reaction to your complain? (the dog sometimes barks. ) What can you suggest as a solution? (let the dog sleep inside the house)What can be your neighbour’s first reaction to your suggestion? (the dog can make a mess , he would have to spend time for cleaning) How can you persuade your neighbour to do what you want?(my wife and son are having difficulty sleeping and they are tired during the day)
Suggested student’s answer :
A: Can I have a word with you for a minute, please?
B: Sure. What is it?
A: Well, it’s about your dog actually.
B: What’s the problem?
A: Well, I’m sorry to say this, but it is keeping me awake at night and I just can’t put up with it any more.
B: But he’s a dog. Of course he sometimes barks!
A: You could let him sleep inside the house. That’s what I’d do.
B: But he would make a mess and I would have to spend all my time cleaning!
A: Yes. I appreciate that, but the barking is so annoying. It really gets on my nerves.
B: I see. Sorry about that.
A: Also, my young son is having difficulty sleeping and has been very tired during the day.
B: In that case, maybe I should take the dog in at night.
A: Thanks.
