[00:23.77]"S"(for sometimes) and "N"(for never).
[00:29.05]1b  PAIRWORK
[00:31.69]Talk about your answers in 1a.
[00:35.76]Do you ever⁵ get to class late?
[00:37.85]Yes,I sometimes get to class late.
[00:41.67]2a Listen and circle the things in 1a that you
[00:46.39]hear.
[00:48.31]What's the matter,Peter?
[00:50.10]I think I'm going⁶ to fail⁷ a math test,Dad.
[00:52.80]You are?Why?
[00:54.52]Well,I missed the bus and I had⁸ to walk to
[00:57.24]school.So?
[00:59.08]I'm not allowed to get to class late,and there
[01:01.75]was a big test today.
[01:03.45]And you weren't allowed to take the test?
[01:05.40]That's right.But I know I could⁹ pass that test.
[01:08.72]Well,Peter,the school has to have rules,you know
[01:12.13]I know.But I should be allowed to take the test
[01:14.45]later¹⁰.It's no fair¹¹.
[01:16.45]I agree¹².Maybe you could talk to the teacher
[01:19.48]after school.
[01:20.96]Yeah.Maybe if I explain¹³ what happened,
[01:23.49]she'll understand.
[01:25.86]2b  Listen again.Match these sentence¹⁴ parts¹⁵.
[01:31.73]2c  GROUPWORK
[01:34.57]Read the following¹⁶ statements¹⁷.
[01:36.54]Then discuss¹⁸ them with your group.
[01:39.11]I think Peter should...
[01:41.03]I don't agreee.
[01:42.60]I think...
[01:44.34]1.Peter should be allowed to take the test later
[01:48.96]2.Students need strict¹⁹ rules.
[01:52.77]3.Parents should not be too strict with
[01:56.28]teenagers.
[01:58.75]3a  Read the article²⁰ and then answer the
[02:02.89]questions.
[02:05.00]The other day,my friends and I talked about the
[02:08.14]rules that we have in school.
[02:10.64]At our school,we have to wear uniforms every day
[02:14.84]The problem²¹ is that all my classmates think the
[02:18.22]uniforms are ugly.
[02:19.95]We think young people should look smart and so
[02:22.88]we would²² like to wear our own clothes.
[02:25.90]Our teachers believe²³ that if we did²⁴ that,
[02:28.90]we would concentrate²⁵ more on our clothes than
[02:31.40]our studies.We disagree²⁶.
[02:34.02]We would feel more comfortable²⁷ and that is good
[02:37.35]for studying.
[02:39.15]If we can't do that,we should be allowed to
[02:42.11]design our own uniforms.
[02:44.35]That would be a good way to keep both teachers
[02:47.27]and students happy.
[02:49.88]It's also probably²⁸ a good idea for parents to
[02:53.23]allow teenagers to study in groups during²⁹ the
[02:56.17]evening.
[02:57.77]I know we get noisy sometimes,but we learn a lot
[03:01.26]from each other.
[03:02.75]We also think that vacations³⁰ should be longer.
[03:06.35]At present they're too short.
[03:09.36]Longer vacations would give us time to do things
[03:13.00]like volunteering³².
[03:14.68]Last summer I had an opportunity³³ to volunteer³¹ at
[03:18.75]the local³⁴ hospital,
[03:20.29]but I couldn't because I had to go back to
[03:22.48]school.
[03:24.10]It would be a good experience³⁵ for me because I
[03:27.41]want to be a doctor when I'm older.
[03:30.52]3b  PAIRWORK
[03:33.33]Role play.Use the information³⁶ in 3a to have a
[03:38.21]conversation.
[03:40.54]What school rules do you think should be changed
[03:44.22]Well,I think we should be allowed to wear our
[03:47.43]own clothes.
[03:48.84]What's the reason³⁷?
[03:50.30]We would feel more comfortable and that is good
[03:53.32]for studying.
[03:55.23]4 You and your friend are starting an English
[03:58.34]club.
[03:59.64]Make a list of rules about what should and
[04:02.90]should not be allowed.
[04:05.33]1.Members are allowed to use English-English
[04:09.85]dictionaries³⁸.
[04:11.37]Members should be allowed to use dictionaries.
[04:14.65]Yes,but they should only use English-English
[04:18.04]dictionaries.
