Part One
Listening I
Interviewer: Angela, you were born in Korea but you've been living in Canada for a long time, haven't you?
Angela: Yes, I was 10 years old when my parents immigrated to Canada and I've been living here for 20 years now.
Interviewer: Do you think that belonging to two different cultures has affected your personality? Angela: Yes, definitely. There are times when I think that I have two personalities. Depending on where I am and who I'm with, I'm Korean or I'm Canadian.
Interviewer: That sounds complicated. Could you explain what you mean?
Angela: Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home. Interviewer: Do different cultures have different ideas as to what is polite?
Angela: Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent.
Interviewer: Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person? Angela: Yes, but sometimes I don't know who I am.

Listening II
I am a very sensitive person, and that's good to a point. I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you suffer and cry for people you don't know, or over a movie that’s only a story, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am. 只供学习与交流

I am also a very independent person. I must do things by myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything.
I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like; and I would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. People trust me with their secrets, and they're right for doing so because I never tell others any secret that is told to me. I'm always there to help in any way that I can. All you have to do is ask.
I enjoy life and people, which makes me feel good. I find fun in almost everything I do (except housework). I like to watch people, talk to them, and be around them. It makes no difference whether I agree or disagree with what they feel or how they live or what they look like, or what age they are. I just enjoy learning and being aware of everything and everyone around me.

Listening III
Tom: Hey, Bill. Do you have any plans for this weekend? Bill: Yeah, Tom. Cindy and I are going ice-skating on Saturday. Tom: Oh.
Bill: Why do you ask?
Tom: Well, I thought you might want to come over and study for next week's chemistry test. Bill: Study?! No way. Hey, what if I try to fix you up with Cindy's sister, Kristi. We could double-date. She's really outgoing, bright, and funny too.
Tom: Hey, I still remember the girl you fixed me up with last time. She was very moody and self-centered. She couldn't stop talking about how great she was. I'm not sure if I can trust you, \
Bill: Oh come on. So I made a mistake last time. Cindy's sister is really different. Tom: Well, what does she look like?
Bill: Ah. Looks aren't important. She has a wonderful personality. 只供学习与交流

Bill: She has a great figure, a nice complexion, and she has a sexy voice. Oh, and she has a tattoo of an eagle on her arm. Tom: A what?
Bill: No, just kidding. By the way, she was the runner-up in the Miss California Beauty Pageant two years ago. Well, you're probably not interested. Tom: No, wait!
Bill: Ah, just forget I ever mentioned it. Tom: No, I'm interested!

Listening IV
David: Barbara, before you go, could you tell me about these students that are coming into my class?
Barbara: Oh, yes. Now, let me think, well, there's...er...Paul. He's a tall, slim lad with fair hair. Very friendly face, lovely smile... He's particularly good with group activities, and he's a very helpful person to have in the class and very helpful with the other students. He speaks fluently, but does make a lot of mistakes! He doesn't seem to mind making mistakes. He asks a lot of questions...er...he tends to speak first and think later. But he's got lots of interesting ideas. David: Good.
Barbara: Ah...Susan...Susan. Now, she's very lively, quick, and very bright. She talks all the time but not always in English.
David: What? Is she difficult or anything?
