Swimming

Good evening. Well, today’s most important event was certainly the women’s200 metres freestyle. The American, Doris Kennedy, was first and got the gold medal. She swam the 200 metres in a new world record time of 1 minute 58 seconds. The U.S.A. won two gold medals yesterday, and three the day before, so in the first three days they’ve won six ‘golds’.

Javelin

This is Jack Lumber from Canada. This morning he won the men’s javelin final. At his first attempt he threw the javelin over 100 metres. Nobody has ever done this before. Unfortunately there was nearly a terrible accident in the javelin event. Henry Fraser, the British competitor, slipped when he was throwing his javelin and it hit a judge in the foot. Luckily, it didn’t hurt him.

Gymnastics

Here we are in the Olympic Gymnasium. Olga Ivanov, the fifteen year old Russian gymnast, has just finished her display. We’re waiting for the results now.

And here’s the result! She’s got an average of 9.5 points. That’s the best score today! Olga’s won the gold medal!

High jump

We’re just waiting for the last jumper. Ted Kelly, from Britain, is going to jump. The bar is at 2.30 metres.

Ooh! He’s crashed into the bar!

He’s landing. The bar’s fallen. Is he hurt?

No, no, he’s all right. He’s getting up and walking away. But he’s a very disappointed man.

Unit 12 A science fiction story

The spaceship flew around the new planet several times. The planet was blue and green. They couldn’t see the surface of the planet because there were too many white clouds. The spaceship descended slowly through the clouds and landed in the middle of a green forest. The two astronauts put on their space suits, opened the door, climbed carefully down the ladder, and stepped onto the planet.

The woman looked at a small control unit on her arm. ‘It’s all right,’ she said to the man. ‘We can breathe the air… it’s a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen.’ Both of them took off their helmets and breathed deeply.

They looked at everything carefully. All the plants and animals looked new and strange. They couldn’t find any intelligent life.

‘Don’t worry, Adam,’ she replied. ‘They’ll rescue us soon.

Unit 16 A traffic survey

The city of Oxford has got a traffic problem. It’s an old town and the streets are narrow. There are too many cars and not enough parking spaces in the city centre.

1 How old are you?

2 Can you drive?

3 How long have you been able to drive?

4 Where do you live?

5 How do you come to town?

Here are some of the results:

Mr Brown’s fifty-eight. He learned to drive when he was eighteen.

He’s been able to drive for forty years. He lives in the country, twenty miles from Oxford.

He always comes into town by car.

Mary Mackintosh is twenty. She’s had a lot of driving lessons. She’s taken the driving test three times, but she hasn’t been able to pass the test yet. She lives near the city centre, and she usually walks to work.

Unit 23 Four disasters

Good evening. Our programme tonight is about disasters. This year there have been fires, plane crashes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. All our guests tonight have survived disasters.

Hi! I’m Bill Daniels. I live in Chicago. I was working in my office on the 28th floor of a skyscraper. I was dictating some letters to my secretary when the fire-bell rang. I rushed out to the lift but it wasn’t working. The stairs were full of thick smoke. We couldn’t go down, so we had to go up to the roof. When we got there some people were waiting calmly. Others were shouting and screaming wildly. A helicopter managed to land on the roof and rescued six of us before the building collapsed.

My name’s Martha Huggins. I was on holiday in the South Pacific and I was staying on Pogohiti, a small island. I was having a rest when the volcano erupted. The noise woke me up. I looked through the window. Everybody was running towards the harbour. I just put on a coat and ran to the harbour too. I managed to get on a ship. It was leaving when the lava hit the town.

Hello, I’m George Green. I’m a farmer. I was working in the field behind my house when I saw the plane. It was on fire. Smoke was coming from the engines, and it was coming down fast. I was running towards my house when it crashed into the trees behind me. I heard a terrible explosion … when I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed.

Good evening. My name’s Michael Purt. My wife and I were staying with friends on Santa Monica in the Caribbean. We were having dinner when the earthquake began. Everything shook. All the plates and food fell onto the floor. We were picking everything up when the ceiling fell onto us. We couldn’t

move, and we had to wait for three hours before help arrived.

Unit 36 The smuggler

Sam Lewis was a customs officer. He used to work in a small border town. It wasn’t a busy town and there wasn’t much work. The road was usually very quiet and there weren’t many travellers. It wasn’t a very interesting job, but Sam liked an easy life. About once a week, he used to meet an old man. His name was Draper. He always used to arrive at the border early in the morning in a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Sam became suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but he never found anything. One day he asked Draper about his job. Draper laughed and said, ‘I’m a smuggler.’

Last year Sam retired. He spent his savings on an expensive holiday. He flew to Bermuda, and stayed in a luxury hotel. One day, he was sitting by the pool and opposite him he saw Draper drinking champagne. Sam walked over to him.

Sam Hello, there!

Unit 42 The empty chair

A friend of mine Rob Jenkins, almost had a nervous breakdown last year. I told him to go to the doctor.

DoctorHello, Mr Jenkins. What can I do for you?

MrJenkins Oh, yes. I’ve been very busy. I’ve been working twelve hours a day.

DoctorHave you been taking any pills?

Mr JenkinsNo, but I’ve been smoking too much, and I’ve been drinking a lot of coffee.

DoctorWell, you should take a holiday. You should go somewhere quiet and peaceful, like Cornwall. Why don’t you go there?

Rob decided to go to Cornwall the nextweekend. Penquay was a very small fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall. There were no trains or buses to Penquay, so he had to drive. It was a long journey, and Rob arrived late on Friday evening. The landlady of the guest house, Mrs Doone, answered the door and showed him to his room. Rob was very tired and went straight to bed. He slept well and didn’t wake up until nine o’clock the next morning.

Rob went downstairs for breakfast. Because there were no other guests, Mrs Doone invited him to have breakfast with her and her daughter, Catherine. Catherine was already sitting in the dining room. She was about thirteen years old, with long, black hair and clear, grey eyes. Mrs Doone went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Rob and Catherine looked at each other nervously for a few seconds.

RobThere are four places at the table. Is there another guest?

RobThe empty place? What do you mean?

Catherine Well, that used to be my father’s place.

Rob‘Used to be?’ I don’t understand.

Catherine My father was a fisherman. Three years ago he went out in his boat, and he never returned.

RobWhat happened to him?

Rob said nothing, but he looked very worried. At that moment Mrs Doone returned. She poured four cups of tea, and put one cup in the empty place. Rob looked more worried and he stared at the empty chair. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door and a tall man, with a black beard, walked into the room. Rob looked terrified. It was the man in the photograph! He jumped up and ran out of the room.

Man Who was that? What’s the matter?

Mrs DooneI don’t know. I don’t understand. He’s a guest from London. He arrived last night while youwere asleep.

CatherineNo, I don’t, father. But he’s here because he’s very

nervous. He says he’s hiding here because a tall man with a black beard is trying to kill him.

ManCatherine, have you been telling stories again?

Catherine (laughing) Stories, father? Me?
