[00:30.00]Every bride wants her wedding to be the most wonderful day of her life.
[00:31.00]But perfect weddings require careful planning,
[00:32.00]whether the bride and bridegroom are planning a traditional wedding
[00:33.00]or just a registry office ceremony.
[00:34.00]Paying for the wedding which is always a problem,will partly decide the choice.
[00:35.00]The bride's clothes,which are usually expensive,require careful selection.
[00:36.00]Many brides choose to a wear a white wedding dress for a registry ceremony,
[00:37.00]and a red Chinese wedding gown for a traditional evening banquet.
[00:38.00]Both are costly to buy but there are shops from which they can be hired.
[00:39.00]These can also supply the groom's outfits:
[00:40.00]a dinner jacket for the western ceremony,
[00:41.00]and traditional clothes for the banquet.
[00:42.00]Flowers are important in most weddings.
[00:43.00]The bride and the bridesmaid whom she has chosen usually carry bouquets.
[00:44.00]Centuries ago,western brides carried bunches of flowers,
[00:45.00]some of which were very bad-smelling,to keep evil spirits away.
[00:46.00]Nowadays,couples prefer more fragrant flowers,
[00:47.00]so they should contact a good florist
[00:48.00]The wedding stationery may include invitations,photo albums,menus,etc.
[00:49.00]The couple need to consult a specialist printer,
[00:50.00]who can give helpful advice.
[00:51.00]Many people travel to a wedding by car.
[00:52.00]It would be terrible if the car broke down on the way to the ceremony,
[00:53.00]so the couple should remember to book a good and reliable car.
[00:54.00]After the wedding,the bride and groom
[00:55.00]may have a traditional banquet or a western-style reception.
[00:56.00]They need to reserve the restaurant
[00:57.00]and select the menu months before the wedding.
[00:58.00]People who want to be different could hold the event in a park or on a boat.
[00:59.00]Years afterwards,
[-1:00.00]the married couple will want to look back at their wedding photos.
[-1:-1.00]They should resist the temptation to ask a favourite uncle to take the photographs.
[-1:-2.00]He may be good with his pocket automatic,
[-1:-3.00]but he may also forget to put in a roll of film.
[-1:-4.00]It is better to book a photographer who specializes in weddings.
[-1:-5.00]The couple should also think about the place where the photographer will take the photos.
[-1:-6.00]It does not always have to be on the steps of the registry office.
[-1:-7.00]For example,one couple decided to have theirs taken in a swimming pool!
[-1:-8.00]LISTENING SKILLS pages 43 to 45

[-1:19.00]A:I'll take care of that.I just want everything to be right for you.
[-1:20.00]B:Well,then I'd like this one.
[-1:21.00]If photographers come to the wedding and reception,

[-1:24.00]Question 2

[-1:59.00]So it must be a special one this year.
[-2:00.00]We are arranging a big party for them.
[-2:-1.00]B:Then I must given them something made out of silver as a present.
[-2:-2.00]SPEAKING  page 51
[-2:-3.00]A Intonation of adjective clauses
[-2:-4.00]Remember that non-defining clauses are adding extra,none essential information.
[-2:-5.00]They are marked by one or two commas.
[-2:-6.00]You should make your voice go up before the commas,and then pause.
[-2:-7.00]The bride who looked lovely,was married on her birthday.
[-2:-8.00]The president,who is on a tour of Asia,visited Tokyo.
[-2:-9.00]Defining clauses are not marked by commas.
[-2:10.00]You should not pause after the noun.
[-2:11.00]In fact,they are closely linked with their noun:
[-2:12.00]pretend that they are all joined by hyphens as in the examples.
[-2:13.00]These clauses become part of the intonation of the main clause in the sentence.
[-2:14.00]The woman-who-was-shot-last-week is now recovering well.
[-2:15.00]Did the man-who-helped-you tell you his name?
[-2:16.00]Exercise A1
[-2:17.00]1.The bridegroom,who is a millionaire,paid for the wedding
[-2:18.00]2.The wedding which we went to last week was really beautiful
[-2:19.00]3.The bride,who was wearing a yellow dress,arrived in a white car.
[-2:20.00]4.The tailor who made that dress is really skilful.
[-2:21.00]Exercise A2
[-2:22.00]1.In Seoul today over 30,000 couples were married.
[-2:23.00]The ceremony,which took place in the Olympic stadium,
[-2:24.00]was the world's largest mass wedding. [-2:25.00]2.The number of people who are getting married is going down.
[-2:26.00]As a result,two registry offices will close on 1st May.
[-2:27.00]Those staff members whose jobs will be lost will be moved to other offices.
[-2:28.00]3.Despite the fact that fewer people are getting married,
[-2:29.00]the cost of a wedding is getting higher and higher.
[-2:30.00]All of the details,from the service and banquet to the wedding dress and car,
[-2:31.00]add up to be very expensive.

[-2:34.00]pages 56 and 57
[-2:35.00]A Listening
[-2:36.00]Exercise A1
[-2:37.00]Listen and choose the best answer to each question.
[-2:38.00]Question 1
[-2:39.00]On which day will they have the dinner party?
[-2:40.00]A:Mum,when do you think would be the best day for our dinner party?
[-2:41.00]B:Well,when is the last examination?
[-2:42.00]A:Most of the exams finish this Tuesday,the 17th,
[-2:43.00]but there are some music exams which go on until the 23rd
[-2:44.00]B:I think you'd better wait until after then.
[-2:45.00]And when is the end of term?
[-2:46.00]A:That's on Thursday,26th.
[-2:47.00]B:Well,why don't you have it on the Saturday night after that.
[-2:48.00]A:Yes,that would be good.
[-2:49.00]Question 2           How many students will probably attend the dinner?
[-2:50.00]A:Do you think all of you classmates will attend the dinner[-2:51.00]I know that is difficult to get people to come to the events.
[-2:52.00]Sometimes only half the total number will come.
[-2:53.00]B:Oh,I think most people will come.
[-2:54.00]At first I thought every single person would come,
[-2:55.00]but then I realized that some would be on holiday,
[-2:56.00]or might have other family dinners.
[-2:57.00]So then I thought only about a hundred might come.
[-2:58.00]Anyway I asked the class monitors to check with each class.
[-2:59.00]And they think that about 90% will turn up in the end.
[-3:00.00]A:Well,that would be a very good figure
[-3:-1.00]Question 3
[-3:-2.00]How much will Bely charge for coming to make a video film of the dinner party?
[-3:-3.00]A:Did you ask Bely about making a video film?
[-3:-4.00]B:Yes,he said he would be delighted to do so.
[-3:-5.00]A:But,I don't know if we can afford it.
[-3:-6.00]Look at his prices on this card.
[-3:-7.00]$3,000 for a school event.
[-3:-8.00]B:No,that's for a full day,like a sports Day.
[-3:-9.00]Since he is our cousin,he said he would do it really cheaply.
[-3:10.00]He is prepare to make the film for half of his minimum price for a dinner party.
[-3:11.00]A:That's very good of him.
[-3:12.00]B:And afterwards he'll sell copies of the video
[-3:13.00]to your classmates for just $50 each.
[-3:14.00]Exercise A2
[-3:15.00]Listen and take notes of the main details on the forms
[-3:16.00]Conversation 1
[-3:17.00]A:So I was hoping your restaurant might be free on that night?
[-3:18.00]B:Well,yes.I suppose we could,you could come at 7 p.m.
[-3:19.00]but you would all have to leave by 9 p.m.
[-3:20.00]As we have another big party arriving later.
[-3:21.00]A:I see,and how much would it cost?
[-3:22.00]We're only students,so we can't afford an expensive meal.
[-3:23.00]B:Well,it would be our usual prices.
[-3:24.00]Our cheapest would be $120 for each person
[-3:25.00]A:120,right.I'll have to think about it.
[-3:26.00]B:Well,can you let me know by six o'clock tomorrow evening if you want to make a booking?
[-3:27.00]A:Right,I'll do that thanks very much. Good-bye.             B:Good-bye.
[-3:28.00]Conversation 2  On Saturday night.
[-3:29.00]A:I'm ringing you because I know that your daughter Angela
[-3:30.00]is one of our students.
[-3:31.00]And she said that you might be able to help us.
[-3:32.00]B:Oh,yes,that's right.Yes,we'd be please to help you
[-3:33.00]We would really enjoy having your school here.
[-3:34.00]So we can often use special rate,$85 per person,
[-3:35.00]and we will give you a really good dinner for that price. [-3:36.00]A:That sounds very good.
[-3:37.00]B:Now,there is just one problem,we can't do it on the night you want.
[-3:38.00]But we could do it on Sunday the 29th July.
[-3:39.00]Then you could all come here at eight o'clock.
[-3:40.00]And we'll give you dinner,and you can stay till mid-night.
[-3:41.00]We'll also include free soft drinks, and afterwards,
[-3:42.00]we can give you a karaoke show--free.
[-3:43.00]A:Well,that would be wonderful.
[-3:44.00]Yes,I would definitely like to book that please.
[-3:45.00]B:Oh,good.We'll look forward to it very much.
