freaks and animals

intermediate

Todd: So, Julia, let's talk about types of people.

Julia: OK.
Todd: Right, first one, are you a fitness freak?
Julia: A fitness freak? I'm fairly fit, but I'm not a freak. No, I'm not a fitness freak, no.
Todd: So you exercise but it's not like you do it all the time?
Julia: No, and I do some unhealthy stuff as well. I like to drink and I'm a former smoker and yes, no I'm not a fitness freak.
Todd: Right. I think a fitness freak is like somebody who does it, who exercises compulsively.
Julia: I indulge in bad stuff too, so no I'm not a fitness freak.
Todd: OK, so that leads us to the next question. Are you a party animal?
Julia: Not any more. I'm too old now.
Todd: When you were younger, you were a party animal?
Julia: I think, yeah, that was probably the type that I most fitted into.
Todd: Nice. I was never a party animal.
Julia: No?
Todd: No, I've always been pretty tame. I've always been pretty tame.
Julia: Yes, I was pretty wild when I was younger.
Todd: Really?
Julia: Yeah.
Todd: So you used to drink, smoke, stay up late?
Julia: Yeah. All that and more, yeah.
Todd: Come home in the wee hours of the morning?
Julia: Oh, yeah.
Todd: Oh, nice, that's cool. OK, next one would be do you know anybody in your family who's a couch potato?
Julia: Couch potato?
Todd: Because I know that you're not a couch potato.
Julia: I'm not a couch potato, no. My brother sometimes demonstrates couch potato traits.
Todd: Yeah.
Julia: He likes to play video games and stuff like that, and he'll spend a lot of time watching movies, and so he does spend a lot of time sedentary compared to me. He makes me look like a fitness freak, I guess, because he doesn't do so much exercise.
Todd: Right. And so for people listening a couch potato is somebody who watches a lot of TV and sits on the couch.
Julia: Spends a lot of time on the couch, yeah.
Todd: Well, how about the similar personality trait of the bookworm? Are you a bookworm?
Julia: A bookworm? No, but I think my husband's probably a bookworm.
Todd: Yeah?
Julia: He spends a lot of time reading books. He reads very fast, so he gets through a lot of books.
Todd: He's a speed reader?
Julia: Yeah, he's a very fast reader and he has to read. He has to have a book with him all the time. He cannot, a waiting room or on a train or any situation where you've just got to sit around, he cannot do it if he doesn't have a book.
Todd: Yeah. You know I live alone and that's a terrible trait that I have. I cannot sit and eat and just eat without something to occupy my attention. I have to read or I have to be like watching something on the computer, and if I go to a waiting room or anything like that or I'm on a plane I'm the same. I have to have something to read. It drives me nuts.
Julia: You see I can't read on transport because I get sick. It makes me sick, it makes me nauseous.
Todd: Like motion sickness?
Julia: Yeah. So I don't have a habit of reading on a train. A bus or a car, oh my God no, I can't read. No way, but my husband reads everywhere all the time.
Todd: That's cool.

"Back For Good"

I guess now it's time for me .....................
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you............................
Got you're lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all ................now

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you ...........................
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at ............................
Can't you find a little room inside for me

Whatever I said, whatever I did ...................................
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

And we'll be together, this......................................
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and ..............................
You'll be right and understood

PRE INTERMEDIATE


COOK OR CLEAN




Paul / England 
I prefer cooking because I enjoy the creative aspectof cooking, the idea of bringing together a number of ingredients, and you know, cooking is something that's going to taste good. And for these reasons, I enjoy cooking to cleaning.

Phoebe / China
Do I prefer cooking or cleaning? Definitely, I prefer cooking. I don't mind to cook every meal as long as someone can clean it for me, so if you let me choose, definitely, I prefer cooking.


Tim / United States
I like both cooking and cleaning, because I like doing my own cooking because it can be fun and you can make something that you enjoy eating and tastes good and is also healthy. And I also like cleaning because I don't like having a mess in my personal space, and I like keeping things organized, so it's nice to keep things clean, so you have a less stressful life.


Antoinette / United States 
I prefer cleaning. Cooking is very stressful, because if you're cooking, you're going to cook for someone else. If I have to cook for myself, I don't mind, I don't really care. I'll eat whatever it is I cook. But if I'm cooking for other people, I have to worry about whether they will like what I make, if I'll make enough, if I'll have enough courses, will I make something someone's allergic to, so it's just very stressful. Cleaning, that's easy, and it helps me to relieve stress.


Rese / Botswana 
I prefer cooking because cleaning takes too much energy, and I don't really like washing up and getting my hands wet. Plus, I like to come up with new recipes and experiment in the kitchen.


Kat / Germany 
I definitely prefer cooking. Cooking is actually one of my biggest hobbies. I love making food for my friends, I love preparing an elaborate meal for everyone, and I really enjoy throwing dinner parties.

pre intermediate


Peter: So, Jana, we were talking about academic life in different countries but how about daily life for students? Did students also have part-time jobs and where did they eat? Did they eat at home or in dorms or did they go out?
Jana: Right. So my life in Prague was quite different because I was living with my parents, but obviously I would go to university for the lectures or seminars and yeah, I think most of my classmates had part-time jobs or even full-time jobs and they would study sort of in their free time and in the Czech Republic usually students go to university in their city so they stay at home with their parents, but if they choose to go to a different city then they would stay at dormitory, so some of my classmates who were staying, who were living in dormitory, I felt like they had more social life than I do because that's where all their social events happen.
Peter: Right.
Jana: I have actually never lived in a dormitory so I don't know what it's like.
Peter: So how about student life in Spain?
Jana: Yeah, I suppose again it depends on the students. Maybe local students and international students might have different lifestyles but I was living with a host family and they cooked for me once a week. That was really nice. Every Sunday we had a really nice meal, but apart from that I would eat at the cafeteria or cook at home and I didn't have a part-time job but I think a lot of my classmates did. It wasn't so easy for international students to find work so...
Peter: Yeah, yeah. And then you moved to Sydney? How did that change things for you?
Jana: Well, Sydney was a lot of fun. There are so many international students, so many different cultures and it's a big part of education actually. International education in Australia is a huge business as well.
Peter: Really?
Jana: So there are so many international students. In fact, in my class I think there were maybe two Australians.
Peter: Wow.
Jana: And the rest were from all over the world.
Peter: Hm. I also had a friend who studied as an international student at, in Sydney, and he told me it's quite expensive for international students to live there. Is that true?
Jana: That's right. One, you have to pay the tuition fees, but also, depending on where you come from, you need to apply for a student visa and often one of the requirements is you need to show that you have enough funding for the whole course.
Peter: Right.
Jana: And the actual living costs might not be that high. It depends where you live. A lot of students share houses.
Peter: Right.
Jana: Or work part-time as well.
Peter: So part time work is allowed then?
Jana: Yes. You can work up to twenty hours per week.
Peter: OK.
Jana: While on a student visa.
Peter: Right. So you can have some income at least to support yourself?
Jana: That's right.
Peter: Where did you live in Sydney and did you have a share mate or somewhere like that?
Jana: Yeah, I lived in a share house with other students. It's a really common thing to do in Sydney because the rent is so expensive.
Peter: Oh, really?
Jana: So not only students but even working adults often share apartments. Yeah, I actually moved maybe five times while I was there.
Peter: It sounds pretty hard actually.
Jana: It was fun to try living in different areas and with different people.
Peter: Great.

Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes
When you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back
At the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh, it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
You can't go to bed
Without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason
That you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations
Are the secrets that I keep
Though, it makes no sense to me
I know you've never loved
The sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still love to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me
I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
but if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
You'll never love yourself
Half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darlin
But I want you to
If I let you know
I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you
Oh
I've just let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
Because it's you
Oh. it's you
It's you
They add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things
I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things

Todd: So, you've seen obviously life in France, family life in France, and now you've seen family life in America. Is there any differences?


Layla: Yes, there is a lot of difference about the education is different. The education in France, parents are more strict than here, but yeah, the lifestyle is different, too.

Todd: So you say that the parents are more strict in France. Like can you give an example? How are they more strict?

Layla: Like, here it's rare when parents say 'no' to their kids, and they say most of the time 'yes' for almost everything. But it's a good thing. It's a good thing, too, yeah.

Todd: So, you're saying the kids are spoiled?

Layla: A little bit, yeah. Sometimes.

Todd: What about like the daily routines of family life? Is there anything different about the daily routine?

Layla: Here in the U.S. we have a lot of au pairs, and a lot of nannies, and in France the parents - most of the time - one of the parents work, and the other takes care of the kids. And here, in the U.S., I notice that both parents work all the time. It's rare when the parents take care of the kids. They contract a nanny most of the time.

Todd: So, now that you've been an au pair for awhile, would you recommend being an au pair for other people?

Layla: Yeah, sure. Of courses. It's a very good experience, and it's very good for our resume, for people who want to finish their study, and to find work, and it's a good way to learn English.

Todd: OK, well, it was nice talking to you.

Layla: Thank you. You too.

Silvia: Hi. I'm Silvia from Guatemala.
Diego: And I want to ask you a question today. I want to ask you, "Have you ever been a baby sitter?"
Silvia: Yes, I've been a babysitter. And actually, I was seventeen, so almost eight years ago, and I was in high school, and after school, I would go home, and my cousin would leave her little daughter with me, a two-year old, and she just learned how to walk so imagine that, and it was quite exhausting
Diego: She was a handful.
Silvia: Yeah, she was.
Diego: Did you get paid for this?
Silvia: No, I just liked her so much. I liked taking care of her even though sometimes she drove me crazy, and I felt like spanking her, but in the end I just ended spending the afternoon with her.
Diego: Ah, OK, sounds very good.
Silvia: It was OK, I guess.

Cheryl / Guam
If I had a million dollars what would I do? Well first, I would take a portion of that money and put it into savings. That way I would not be able to spend that moneylater. Secondly, I would probably take some money and go traveling around the world. I would do everything that I've always wanted to do on my to do list in life. And lastly I would give money to charities and churches and the rest would be given to my family and friends and everyone I love would be 
given an amazing present.



Jake / United States
I would buy an expensive house on a tropical island somewhere and a yacht and I would buy a very, very nice car and a private jet. I don't know if a million dollars would buy all this stuff now. But I would just spend my days enjoying life.


Nydja / United States
If I won a million dollars I personally would ... I would probably quit work and apply to a better university. You need money to get into college in the states so that would really help me out. I think I'd definitely buy a new house, maybe not a huge mansion but I wouldn't be renting anymore that's for sure.


Jonathan / Canada
If I won a million dollars what would I do? I don't have the need to have any special large possessions such as a house or expensive car. I think that I would put the million dollars somewhere safe where there is no risk of anything, like the stock market, and I would live off the interest for the rest of my life. Even in a very safe circumstance, the return would probably be three or four percent being thirty or forty thousand dollars a year and I think that I could comfortably live off of that which would allow me to travel and see the places in the world that I haven't been to yet.


Mauro / Brazil
Wow! This question's really great. What would I do with a million dollars? Wow! I would probably invest all this money, but invest in my own businesses. These days I just think about making business, starting a business, so I just want to work for myself, so I would probably invest my money creating businesses and working for myself. It would be something really like that.

Nick / Australia
A million dollars! If I won a million dollars, I'd go around the world. I haven't been to Africa and I'd really like to go. Secondly, I'd buy a really big house with a really big television. Then after, if I had any money left, I would invest. Maybe give some to my parents.
