Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Маккинли, Хастингс 9 класс, Вентана-Граф: SPEAKING AND LISTENING
1 In pairs, look at the photo. What do you think the situation is? Then listen to the conversation between Anna, Damon and their dad and check.
Текст аудирования:
Dad: [Manchester accent] Morning! What are you two so cheerful about this morning?
Anna: [Manchester accent] Morning Dad! Damon’s just been telling me about Philip York … Apparently he turned up for school yesterday in a skirt!
Dad: Oh, yes? He was always a bit funny that Philip York.
Damon: [Manchester accent] Well, he was trying to make a point … to prove something, you know? It’s really hot at the moment and all the girls at school are wearing skirts. But the boys have been told that we can’t wear shorts. So Phil decided to come to school in one of his sister’s skirts.
Dad: And what happened?
Damon: Well, there was a big commotion, of course. All the girls from Year 8 followed him around all morning saying things like ‘Nice legs, darling’ and stuff. Luckily some of the teachers saw the funny side but the headmaster was furious. He told Phil to go home and change straight away.
Dad: I should think so too. Stupid boy — just like his Dad.
Damon: Well, I think it was pretty cool myself. He was just trying to show how pathetic some of the rules are. I mean, we’re almost eighteen and we’re still being told what we can and can’t wear.
Dad: Well, if you ask me, Damon, I think the headmaster was right to send him home. It’s all about standards. A school has to care about its reputation … and lads walking round in shorts all day doesn’t create a very serious, scholarly atmosphere, if you ask me. I mean what’s the point in …
2 Listen again and choose the statements that are true.
1 Damon thinks that Philip wore a skirt for fun.
2 The boys in Damon’s school are allowed to wear shorts in hot weather.
3 None of the teachers appreciated what Philip was doing.
4 Damon believes that Philip’s protest was a good tiling to do.
5 Damon thinks that the pupils are too old for rules about what to wear.
6 Damon’s dad doesn’t think that, what pupils wear has any influence on a school’s reputation.
3 Work in pairs and answer the questions.
• Do you sympathize with Philip’s protest?
• Whose point of view do you agree with most — Damon’s or his dad’s?
• Do you think that boys are treated differently at school?
4 Listen to the last part of the conversation. Then, in pairs, answer the questions.
• Who seems to find it harder to get permission — Damon or Anna?
• Do you think parents are stricter with girls than with boys?
Текст аудирования:
Damon: … but it’s completely different for girls, Anna. Anna: Well, I still think it’s unfair. It’s discrimination! Dad: Oh, stop it, you two. Anyway, Damon — shouldn’t you be on your way to school now?
Damon: Oh, no! It’s ten past eight! I’ve got to go, guys. Oh, by the way … I’m going round to Matt’s after school. We want to do something on his computer. Is it OK if I come back late tonight?
Dad: No problem. As long as your phone me …
Damon: Thanks, Dad! Catch you later! See you, Anna! Dad/Anna: Bye! See you! Bye Damon!
Anna: That reminds me. Sandra has got us tickets for the Jason Trembling concert tonight. Do you mind if I go?
Dad: Well, as long as it doesn’t finish too late.
Anna: No, I’m sure it won’t. … actually, I was wondering if I could spend the night at Sandra’s afterwards. I mean it is Friday night after all.
Dad: Actually, that’s not a very good idea, is it? I mean you’ve got the dentist’s early in the morning.
Anna: But Dad. You let Damon stay out with his friends, why can’t I?
Dad: Damon’s a year older than you, Anna.
Anna: What you really meant was Damon’s a boy. Dad: Nonsense … you know that we both treat you the same.
Anna: Go on, please let me stay over, Dad.
Dad: Oh, I suppose so — as long as your phone us after the concert.
Anna: Thanks! … just one more thing. Could I borrow 15 pounds? There are these gorgeous T-shirts …
