It’s my belief that a woman’s place is in the home. Woman: But you can’t believe that a woman’s place is in the home. Man: Yes. And she should stay there. Women should look after men. Woman: But you can’t really believe women should look after men. Man: Created to feed and support them. That’s what they were. I’m certain that women are intellectually inferior to men. Woman: But you can’t believe women are intellectually inferior to men. Man: Not only inferior, but I know they can’t do a man’s job. Woman: But you can’t really believe they can’t do a man’s job. Man: Yes, Maggie. That’s my firm belief. But don’t tell your mother I said that. B. Gee: Gee’s mother was worried about him. One evening, when her husband came home, she spoke to him about it. “Look, dear,” she said, “you must talk to Gee. He left school three months ago. He still hasn’t got a job, and he isn’t trying to find one. All he does is smoke, eat and play records.” Gee’s father sighed. It had been a very tiring day at the office. “All right,” he said, “I’ll talk to him.” “Gee,” said Gee’s mother, knocking at Gee’s door, “your father wants to speak to you.” “Oh。 ” “Come into the sitting room dear.” “Hello, old man,” said Gee’s father, when Gee and his mother joined him in the sittingroom. “Your father’s very worried about you,” said Gee’s mother. “It’s time you found a job.” “Yes,” replied Gee without enthusiasm. Gee’s mother looked at her husband. “Any ideas。 ” he asked hopefully. “Not really,” said Gee. “What about a job in a bank。 ” suggested Gee’s mother, “or an insurance pany perhaps。 ” “I don’t want an office job,” said Gee. Gee’s father nodded sympathetically. “Well, what do you want to do。 ” asked Gee’s mother. “I’d like to travel,” said Gee. “Do you want a job with a travel firm then。 ” “The trouble is,” said Gee, “I don’t really want a job at the moment. I’d just like to travel and see a bit of the world.” Gee’s mother raised her eyes to the ceiling. “I give up,” she said. C. Shoplifting: A manager is talking about the prevention of shoplifting. Well, I manage a small branch of a large supermarket, and we lose a lot of money through shoplifting. I have to try to prevent it, or else I’ll lose all my profits. A lot of shoplifting is done by young people, teenagers in groups. They do it for fun. They’re not frightened so we have to make it difficult for them. Obviously a supermarket can’t have chains or alarms on the goods, so we have store detectives, who walk around like ordinary shoppers, otherwise they’ll be recognised. We have big signs up, saying ‘shoplifters will be prosecuted,’ but that doesn’t help much. We’ve started putting cash desks at all the exits。 we’ve found we have to do that, or else the shoplifters will walk straight out with things. Of course, that worries the ordinary shopper who hasn’t found what he wanted. We also use closed— cirucuit television, but that’s expensive. In fact, all good methods of prevention are quite expensive, and naturally, they make our prices more expensive, but it has to be done, otherwise shoplifting itself will make all the prices much higher, and the public doesn’t want that。 D. Discussion: Principal: We are very honoured to have Tania Matslova here today. It is only ten o’clock and Tania has already done two hours of practice. And she kindly agreed to watch your rehearsal after that. She is very interested in the training of young dancers and wants to ask questions. Don’t fet, however, that Miss Matslova has two performances today. She must not get too tired ... Miss Tania Matslova. Tania: Good morning. We’re going to be very informal, aren’t we。 Why are you standing。 Move some chairs. Let’s sit in a circle. (sound of chairs being moved, excited voices and piano music) Tania: That’s better. I can see you now. And I want to congratulate you. Your rehearsal was very professional. I was impressed by your technique and your feeling for the music. I remembered myself twenty years ago. Do you think twenty years is a long time。 It all depends. You must look forward to twenty years of practising six hours every day. Twenty years of travelling unfortably. Twenty years of going to bed instead of going to parties. Do you look forward to this discipline。 I didn’t know how difficult my life was going to be, but I wouldn’t change it. The important thing is ... I’m still dancing. For me, dancing is living. I’m so sorry. I’m talking so much. Would you like to ask me some questions。 James: I would. I’m really worried about my career, Miss Matslova. Tania: Please call me Tania. What’s your name。 James: James, Tania. Tania: So, James. Why are you worried。 James: I love dancing but I hate changing in cold dressing rooms. I don’t mind practising every day. In fact, I like it。 I enjoy exercising. But I’m fed up with going to bed early every night and refusing invitations to parties. I like travelling ... but not if it’s unfortable. I’m confused. Do you think I should carry on。 Tania: It depends what you want, James. Would you rather go on dancing or would you rather live a normal, ordinary life。 James: I want to do both. Tania: That, my dear James, is impossible. I’m fed up with getting up early. I’m tired of travelling. I’ve always hated leaving my family for weeks or months. But ... I’m a dancer and I look forward to dancing as long as I can. What can I say。 If you don’t want to be a professional dancer more than anything else, you’d better change your plans. James: Thank you, Miss M ... er, Tania. Your advice was really helpful. I can see now that just being keen on dancing isn’t enough for a career. Principal: I’m quite sure you are all grateful to Miss Matslova for spending so much time with you. Tania: James, please let me know what you decide to do. I think you are very talented but is。
