TAPESCRIPT
1An incident that happened at school when I was 10 years old really stuck in my mind. One of the boys in the class was being picked on by some older boys. The rest of us were too afraid to help him because we didn’t want to get beaten up too. It went on for ages before I eventually found the courage to say something to the teacher. But on the day that I had decided to speak up, the boy told us
Listening & Speaking Skills 3b
all that he was leaving the school and another city. I always felt bad about afterwards.
2A: Excuse me. May I ask about your environmental protection, please?
B:Sure.
A:Do you think the government is doing solve the problem?
B:Well, the laws are there but they are being enforced. I know that becoming more aware of the issue problems are still there.
A:What do you think should be done?
B:Well, I’ve just joined the local environmental group. We do lots of things to help the environment. But the main thing is for everyone to do a little bit every day.
3To tell you the truth, I wasn’t too keen on getting involved in the scheme when I first moved into the area. I don’t have a lot of free time and I usually prefer to keep myself to myself. Anyway, I went along to one of their meetings, just to see what they do, and I realised what a good idea it is. I mean, our neighbourhood doesn’t have a really serious problem with crime, but if everyone keeps an eye on things, we can help keep it that way. The police can’t be everywhere all the time!
