Listening Transcripts:
LESSON 1:
Todd: So, what's the best thing about hiking this Annapurna Trail? Like
can you describe what you see and what you do?
Jonathan: That Annapurna Himalaya Trek is quite unusually because it's a
circular trek. One of very few in the world, so the scenery doesn't repeat.
You don't have to pass the same thing twice. You start out from a much
lower elevation and you're going through similar to tropical jungle type
of surroundings and as you're slowly ascending you get up above the tree-
line into the mountains and by the time you get over the Throngala Pass,
which is well over 5,000 meters you're in a winter wonderland and
surrounded by mountain peaks well over 6,000 meters.
Todd: That sounds pretty cold and it's almost December. Do you have
really warm clothing for this?
Jonathan: You don't need to bring very warm clothes. When you're
trekking during the day and the sun is out and you're getting a lot of
exercise, you certainly don't feel cold. At night time, you're usually inside
one of these little lodges, these teahouses where there's probably a fire
going and perhaps you might put on some sort of fleece or light sweater
that you carry with you to make sure you don't get too cold, and if you feel
cold there's always an extra blanket you can get from the teahouse.
Todd: Well, sounds like a great time.
Jonathan: You should join.
21. 21
LESSON 2:
Adria: So, since we're talking about home schooling, what are some of the
pros and cons that you feel of home schooling?
Shiloh: Well one of the good things about home schooling is definitely that
you are able to work off of your own schedule. I didn't have to wake up
early every morning. If I did, I could get my work done early. The amount
of work that I had, the time I spent doing it was dependent upon me and
my schedule and how much time I wanted to work. I had almost the same
amount of work as all of my other friends in real schools but the difference
was I didn't have scheduled breaks or lunches or anything so if I sat down
for four hours and I just wanted to work straight, then I could finish a whole
day's worth of work in four hours. That's a good thing about it, I was able
to travel and some days I wouldn't even do any school work because I'd be
busy doing other things but that meant that I would have to do two days
some other time. One of the bad things was that I didn't get to meet quite
as many new people. I didn't have the typical high school experience which
I feel shapes a lot of who people are. I wasn't able to meet friends in that
sense, in the high school sense. I still have great friends and I'm not a
loner by any means but it was difficult to meet friends.
Adria: So, did you find yourself slacking off? Some days you didn't do any
school work because you were too busy but did you find yourself taking
many breaks or not wanting to do school work sometimes?
Shiloh: Yeah, that's a big problem I think with home schooling. The student
really has to be self-motivated and if the student is not self-motivated,
then the parent who is doing the home schooling has to be very strict
because it's really easy to just not do your work or to fake it and kind of do
it badly and it's really important that somebody is there to drive you to do
it well and to finish everything. Fortunately, I'm a fairly motivated guy and
I always wanted to get my work done because I always had better things
to be doing and I knew that if I didn't do it today, I'd have to do it twice
tomorrow.
Adria: So, do you think that's something home schooling taught you was
self-motivation that maybe other kids lack?
22. 22
Shiloh: I think so. It taught me self-motivation and also it taught me how
to plan things out. I was able to plan out my day and my schedule. I would
think to myself well tomorrow I want to do this thing, I want to go do this
which means I have to do this today in order to do this tomorrow.

Sample for speaking:
A: Have you ever borrowed money from others?
B: Yes, I have. It isn’t something I enjoy doing, but sometimes it is
necessary. For example, one time my washing machine and oven broke
simultaneously, so I asked my brother if he could lend me some money to
get a new one. I, of course, paid him back as soon as I could.
A: Do you like to lend things to others?
B: It depends. To be honest, if it’s something valuable I’m always
suspicious when I lend it because I’m afraid they won’t give it back to me.
A: How do you feel when people don’t return things they borrowed
from you?
B: Upset, of course. I get very irritated when people borrow something
from me and lost or damaged it.
A: Do you feel comfortable or shy when you ask your friends to give
back what they have borrowed?
B: I am comfortable to ask my close friends to return my stuff but I often
feel shy when I ask my other friends to return what I have lent them.
