[17:02.80]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the passage and answer the following questions briefly.
[17:14.17]When I was young my father always told me how important it was to get on in life and be a success.
[17:25.76]I think he wanted me to be a doctor or an engineer or something like that.
[17:34.19]And I can remember how disappointed he was when I left school early and started work as a secretary.
[17:43.87]It was a small, badly-run company, and when I went there they told me the job wasn't difficult and I would soon pick it up.
[17:56.26]At the beginning I liked the job but as time passed the work started to take up more of my time and I found I was working late in the evenings and even at weekends.
[18:13.46]And in addition to this I had to put up with poor working conditions and a low salary - I earned just enough to get by - and there were no promotion prospects at all.
[18:28.76]All this really got me down. Ande then I started to wonder if I was really cut out for this kind of work - it didn't really suit me or my particular abilities.
[18:42.44]Then one day, I went to see my boss to ask for some time off work. I needed to visit my mother,
[18:51.34]who wasn't well at the time. I have to say that I didn't get on with my boss very well.
[19:00.48]Anyway, he refused point-blank. He said it was out of the question and he didn't want to hear another word.
[19:11.60]I tried explaining but I jsut couldn't get through to him. He wouldn't listen.
[19:18.44]So I walked out of the office, and that was the last straw. The next day I handed in my resignation, and I said to myself I would never put myself in that kind of position again.
[19:35.94]I decided to return to
studying and go in for law.
[19:40.37]I graduated from London University and now I'm starting to make my way in the world.
[19:47.93]So was my father right? Is it important to get on in the world?
[19:54.55]Well, in some way it is, but it depends on how you measure success and what you want to get out of life.
[20:03.19]After all, there are other things in life besides work. (369 words)

[21:19.76]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the dialogue and fill in the chart with the information you get from the recording.
[21:32.04]A reporter is interviewing John Smith and Anne Keller about the changes in their jobs.
[21:40.50]Interviewer:Do you prefer what you're doing to teaching?
[21:43.74]John Smith:Yes, one of the things I found a bit frustrating about teaching was that it was rather,
[21:50.47]very intangible than um, especially if you're teaching in England and most of the students know quite a lot of English before they arrive.
[22:00.91]They learn a lot of English outside the classroom, in pubs or coffee shops or other places,
[22:06.92]with the families they're living with. It's very difficult to pin down how much they learn from your actual lesson,
[22:14.74]whereas in marketing um, again there are lots of areas that are gray rather than black or white um but there are quite a few other areas where one can see quite clearly the results of one's efforts.
[22:30.79]Anne Keller:In fact I became a journalist and I worked as a freelance, I didn't have a full-time job with any newspaper.
