00:04.70]The bad old days
[00:12.88]The other day,a teacher got sacked for tearing a boy's shirt.
[00:20.14]The boy was fighting with another child
[00:25.00]when the teacher grabbed2 him and pulled him away to try and stop the fight.
[00:31.24]In doing this,he tore the boy's shirt.
[00:36.52]The boy's parents complained to the headmaster
[00:42.08]and the teacher was sacked for physically3 abusing the boy.
[00:47.54]Many people in Britain support the teacher,
[00:53.00]saying he was only trying to do what was right
[00:57.55]and that it was the boy who was at fault.
[01:01.99]Many of these people are also probably remembering
[01:07.74]what their own teachers were like and how much stricter they were!
[01:13.80]When I think of the teachers I had less than twenty years ago.
[01:20.95]I immediately remember ones who used to give out terrible punishments.
[01:27.01]My English teacher was known as Johnny Headbanger
[01:32.08]because if he caught two students talking in class.he used to grab1 their heads
[01:38.74]and bang them together.
[01:42.27]Another one called Mr Golding.who taught us Maths.
[01:48.51]used to make you hold your arms out like a cross
[01:53.87]and then he put a Maths textbook in each hand.
[01:59.20]Those books used to weigh about two kilos each
[02:04.66]and after about tweney seconds you would be sweating and your muscles would be killing4 you,
[02:09.78]but he would just smile and carry on teaching the class.
[02:14.92]Many teachers were cheeky.That kind of thing used to be quite normal.
[02:24.07]Nowadays,however,
[02:27.91]it sometimes seems like a teacher can't even touch a pupil without the headmaster threatening them with the sack.
[02:35.64]Many people now feel the law's gone too far.
[02:40.71]They say pupils have too much power
[02:45.25]and have learned how to push teachers to the limit.
[02:50.11]They blame the outlawing5 of all physical punishment for an increase in bad behaviour in children.
[02:57.27]But do we really want to go back to the bad old days
[03:03.01]when teachers were basically free to beat you up?
[03:07.87]Unsurprisingly,those teachers didn't actually teach me very much-
[03:14.95]apart from how to hate them.However,
[03:20.59]the best teacher I ever had- my Chemistry teacher,Mr Green-
[03:27.15]never hit anyone.He controlled the class,
[03:33.32]because he obviously really liked what he was doing
[03:38.36]and could bring the subject alive.
[03:42.90]He showed us experiments and made them relevant
[03:48.18]by explaining how they related to real life.
[03:53.14]He was also very encouraging.He wouldn't just say Good.or Excellent.
[04:00.30]but he'd actually listen to our ideas
[04:05.26]and when we were wrong he would talk us through things.
[04:10.41]He's the main reason I became a pharmacist.
[04:16.08]So.OK.maybe things have gone too far if a teacher can get sacked for stopping a fight,
[04:25.51]but personally,I don't miss those days.
[04:30.47]I think the best way to avoid bad behaviour in class
[04:36.11]is simply by being a good teacher.
[04:40.06]Most students actually want to learn.
[04:44.60]And what about when students break the rules?
[04:49.46]Well,even in those days I remember the worst punishment didn't involve any violence.
[04:56.23]I was caught smoking in the toilets
[05:00.49]and as a punishment the headmaster wrote a letter to my parents.
[05:05.95]I tell you,my life was hell for weeks afterwards!
[05:12.50]3 Listening
[05:22.77]You are going to hear three conversations between students and their English teachers.
[05:29.61]Conversation 1
[05:33.37]France,Can I ask you a question?Of course.
[05:40.32]Can you give me the thing for the exam?
[05:45.29]What,the application form?
[05:49.34]Yeah,yeah.I want to do the exam.Do you think I can take it?
[05:56.49]Yeah,of course you can take it.but I doubt you'll pass.
[06:03.05]Yeah-great,because I need this to go to university in September.
[06:10.99]I really want to do it now.
[06:14.83]I know that's what you want,
[06:18.80]but what I'm saying is you're bound to fail id you take it now.
[06:24.76]Sorry?So you think I won't pass?
[06:30.50]No.probably not,but you never know.Miracles can happen.
[06:37.17]What?I don't understand.Do you think I can take it or not?
[06:44.92]Look.take it if you want-but don't blame me when you fail!
[06:51.09]Conversation 2
[06:56.76]How did the exam go?
[07:01.41]It was easy.All the questions I expected came up.
[07:06.84]Great.What about the writing?Was that OK?
[07:12.27]Yeah,I did the letter.
[07:16.04]What about the second piece?
[07:19.80]You have to do two piece of writing?
[07:24.66]Yeah!Maria-I must've told you that about fifty times.
[07:32.60]I didn't see another question.
[07:36.75]So you only did one?
[07:40.59]Yeah.Oh,no.Do you think I can still pass?
[07:47.07]Well,it's not impossible,but it depends how well you did on the other questions.
[07:54.93]Conversation 3
[08:00.57]What's up?You look a bit down.
[08:04.73]I got my results this for my end-of-year exams.
[08:10.08]Oh,dear.Not good news.then.No.No.I failed.
[08:17.03]Oh,no.I'm sorry.What happened?I thought you revised really hard for them.
[08:24.69]I did.but the questions weren't what I expected and I tried to answer them.but...
[08:33.54]Can you re-take it?Yeah.but I'll have to take the course again next year.
[08:40.70]What?Wait,You have to repeat the whole year?Yeah.It's normal.no?
[08:49.35]Not back home it's not.When we fail an exam at university.
[08:55.59]we usually get the chance to re-take it.
[08:59.72]but you don't have to do the whole course again.
[09:04.47]Oh,right.Well,here you have to repeat the whole course.And pay for it.of course.
[09:13.85]5 Pronunciation: intonation
[09:28.61]1.I've just heard that I've failed my First.Certificate.
[09:35.09]Oh.no!I'm really sorry to hear that.
[09:40.83]2.I was expecting an A.but I only got a C.Oh,no.I'm sorry.That's a shame.
[09:55.49]3.I'm sorry I'm so late.but I had an accident in the car on the way here.
[10:06.43]Oh,no.I'm sorry to hear that.Are you all right?
[10:11.60]4.My father's not very well.In fact.he's just been taken into hospital.
[10:23.44]Oh,no!I'm really sorry to hear that.
[10:28.90]5.We've just had a terrible weekend.
[10:38.35]When we got home on Saturday.we found the house had been broken into.
[10:45.12]Oh. I'm really sorry to hear that.
[10:49.80]6.We had a fire in the kitchen on Sunday.It was awful!
[11:01.34]Oh, no!I'm so sorry.
[11:05.91]3. Asking for an opinion
[11:24.17]1.Do you think she'll come?
[11:30.05]2.Do you think I'll need a coat?
[11:36.11]3.Do you think you'll see Ken6 later?
[11:42.67]4.Do you think we'll be back by eight?
[11:48.52]5.Do you think you'll pass?
[11:53.87]6.Do you think you'll do a Master's after you graduate?
[12:00.85]6.Pronunciation:'ll
[12:14.62]I doubt it'll help.
[12:18.56]I'll definitely bring it tomorrow.
[12:24.93]Hopefully,I'll see him later.
[12:31.60]They'll probably win.
[12:38.26]I doubt she'll be there.
[12:44.50]It'll rain later.
[12:49.78]I'll give you a hand with it.
[12:55.24]I'll definitely think about it.
[13:01.58]She'll probably call you later.
[13:08.45]Hopefully,I'll get into Oxford7.
[00:12.88]The other day,a teacher got sacked for tearing a boy's shirt.
