OK, I think we have two choices. The first place
is a little house. It’s located in a fruit orchard.
Really?
Yeah. And you can eat as much fruit as you
want. When it’s in season, of course. Oh, . . .
but wait. It says there’s no air conditioner.
That’s OK. It’s on the rainy side of the island. It’s
cooler there. We can use a fan.
You’re probably right . . . .Say, it looks pretty
basic. No washing machine or dryer . . . not
even a TV!
Oh no! What are we going to do without a TV!
That’s terrible!
Very funny. I’m just letting you know about the
place.
I know. What’s our second choice?
It’s on the opposite side—the sunny side—of
the island. Very fancy place with a big
swimming pool. It’s only three blocks from the
ocean.
Who needs a swimming pool? I mean, it’s only
three blocks.
I see your point. Well, the pool area also has
barbecue grills, beautiful gardens . . .
You like the second place better. I can tell.
Well, it does have everything. Washing
machine, dryer, TV, VCR, frying pan, . . .
All we need is a toothbrush and a swimsuit. . . .
Let’s go with the second choice.
OK. I’ll call them right now and reserve it. I can’t
wait to go!

Second and turn left at the traffic light.

You’ll be on Church Avenue and it goes straight
to the zoo.
Oh, so it’s not too far.
No, but the traffic is usually heavy. And I don’t
think the zoo has many parking spaces
available for cars.
Hmm . . .
Maybe you should take the subway.
Where do I catch it?
There’s a subway entrance right in front of the
park. Take the red line three stops. Get off at
the City Zoo stop. It’s pretty obvious.
Thanks a lot.
No problem
Oh, wait. One more thing. How much does the

How old is he now?
He just turned two a month ago.
Oh, no . . . .The “terrible twos,” right?
Yep. It’s so exhausting . . . .for both of us!
Does he throw things around? And cry a lot more?
Yes, exactly. Sometimes he hits me. I don’t know. He
was so well-behaved before.
It happens to most babies. They turn two and their
personality changes.
It sounds like you have some experience with “the
terrible twos.”
I certainly do. My children are five and eleven now.
But I still remember when they were young.
What can I do?

OK, let’s practice. I’ll ask you some questions.
OK.
All right then, just why is Sadako Ogata well
known?
She worked for the United Nations as the High
Commissioner on Refugees. She worked in that
job for 10 years and supervised 2200 people.
Hmmm . . . What are refugees? I don’t know
that word.
Mom! Come on, you know that word!
Honey, we’re practicing remember? You have to
really know this material.
All right. Refugees are people who leave their
countries to escape war or other problems.
Is the refugee issue a big problem?
Yes. Worldwide there are now about 17 million
refugees.
Wow! Last question. Why did you choose Ms.
Ogata for your report?
She’s an incredible woman. She moved to the
United States and received a PhD from UC
Berkeley. She also got married and had two
children. She’s really intelligent and I respect
her.
I think you’re going to do a great job tomorrow.

Well, they’ve got great comics. I can’t live

I know. But the news coverage is so poor, . . .
especially the international news. It’s a joke,
really.
I’m not so interested in the international news.
Besides, they have so many other good
features.
Like what?
Like . . . the daily horoscope, for example. I love
it.
That’s not a good reason to buy a newspaper . .
. .for the horoscope!
Look, the newspaper only costs 50 cents. What
do you expect?
Good point.
Besides the horoscope, I also like the
entertainment news. I like to read about the

Well, you can keep The Daily News. I’m going

A. Listen to this profile of a successful businessman. Who is
he? (CD 1, Track 35)
He may have been your typical teenager in most ways. But he
was very different in one particular way: he started his own
magazine. At the age of 15 he managed the magazine, called
Student. It was written for and about young people in school. He
was very busy, but it was a satisfying job.
His next business venture was completely different. He
and some friends started a mail order record company. It was
also the same year, 1970, when his music discount store was
opened in England. It made a lot of money.
In the early 1990s, he sold his successful music
business and used the money for another business idea: an
airline company. And so, Virgin Airways Ltd. was born. To
compete with other airlines, his company offered good prices to
customers. Today Virgin is known for its excellent service.
Richard Branson now runs the Virgin Group, Ltd. He
employs 50,000 people and in many different fields, such as
book publishing, financial services, modeling, and even bridal
services! Not bad for a teenager from the UK who dreamed of
editing his own magazine!

television! This is our final round. Let

me remind you of the rules. We will
show an object for a couple of
seconds. It’s your job to guess what it
is. Michael? Linda? Are you ready to
play?
Yes!!
OK, then, let’s play “You Snooze, You
Lose!”
Show us item number one.
Yes, Michael?
I know what they are. They’re called
“cams” and they’re used in mountain
climbing.
That’s right for one point! They’re used
to hold climbing ropes. All right then,
here’s our second object. Yes, Linda?
Is it some kind of tool?
Can you be more specific?
I don’t know . . . a tool used to fix some
kind of machine?
No, I’m sorry. It’s a nose and ear hair
trimmer. Next . . . item number three.
Do you have any idea? Time is up.
Since no one guessed, I’ll tell you the
answer. Those are called Hopi ear
candles.
You stick them in your ears?
That’s right. They are used to clean out
your ears. They also help to relax you.
Let’s move on to item number four.
Here it is.
That’s obvious. It’s a corkscrew. You
use it to open bottles.
Yes, that’s correct! It’s a mini-travel
corkscrew. You can pack it in your
suitcase.
Oh, no! You know what that means!
We’re out of time. Michael, with two
correct answers, you are today’s
winner! Congratulations!
And before we leave, let me show the
remaining objects. Item number five is
an egg slicer. Item number six is a
tongue scraper-make sure to use it so
that you don’t have bad breath!
That’s all the time we have for today.
See you next time on “You Snooze,
You Lose!” Goodbye everybody!

them. Trina, do you have any more questions
for the gentlemen?
Thanks, Chuckie….OK, guest number 1, here’s
a question. Which is more important to you,
looks or personality?
Umm….well, although looks are important, I
think a woman’s personality is the most
important thing.
Really? Are you telling the truth?
Of course!
OK, whatever. Guest number 2, here’s another
question: where do you always take a girl on a
first date?
Let’s see….I don’t have much experience, but
I’d probably take her somewhere romantic.
Maybe we could go see a basketball game or
something.
Oh, that’s really romantic. Guest number 2,
here’s another question: What is the most
inappropriate thing you’ve ever done on a date?
We were at dinner. It was boring. I said I was
going to the restroom. Actually, I left the
restaurant and went home.
You left your date in the restaurant? That’s
really impolite!! . . . OK, Guest number 1, where
will you take me on our first date?
You could come to my house and have dinner.
That sounds wonderful!
Yeah. My mother’s a great cook.
Your mother? You live with your mother?
Yes. Someday I want to get my own apartment.
OK, Trina. It’s time to hear the final statements
from our two guests. Men, you each have 10
seconds to win Trina’s heart. Guest number 1?
I’ve never gone on a date before. I’m scared,
but I’ll try my best.
Oh, OK…Guest number 2?
Although I don’t have a job, I’m really very
intelligent and talented. And I’m handsome. At
least I think so.
OK, Trina. Time is up. You have to make a
decision. Who are you going to choose for your
date?
Umm . . . Well . . . Do I have to choose one?
Can I go on a date with you instead?

Newscaster (M): Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone.
Almost 200 people on a
two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin
became sick. They’re calling it
the “holiday cruise disease.”
F:
It sounds scary. What caused it?
M:
The doctors aren’t exactly sure, but they know it
was something in the food the passengers ate.
F:
OK, give us the details.
M:
All right, here’s the story: On Friday night, the
ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300
passengers on board. By Sunday morning,
some people reported feeling lightheaded. They
stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half
of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some
of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman
about her experience.
Woman:
Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so
much I couldn’t eat anything. It was really
terrible!
F:
What’s the situation now?
M:
Well, the ship had to return home on Monday—
after only two and a half days at sea—and most
of the passengers went straight to the hospital
then.
F:
How are they doing now?
M:
They’re exhausted—many haven’t slept for 48
hours—but they’re doing fine.
F:
That’s good news. It’s too bad they couldn’t
enjoy their vacation.
M:
Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The
passengers are asking for their money back, but
the company doesn’t want to refund the full
amount.
F:
What’s going to happen then?
M:
Nobody knows. I’ll keep following the story,
though and I’ll have more details for you
tomorrow.

Let’s see . . . .I went hiking last week.
Maybe an insect bit you. Please sit up here.
Let’s take your temperature.
Are you finished packing?

Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste, for

I’ll put it in. Don’t worry.
And where is your allergy medicine? You’ll need

Much Is It Worth? They have brought objects to the TV
studio. Listen to conversations 1 and 2, and write S for
Spencer’s object and G for Greta’s object. (CD 2, Track 7)
Conversation 1
Host:
Hello, Spencer. How are you?
Spencer:
Fine, thank you. I’m excited to be here.
Host:
Great! I see a photo in your hand. What is it?
Spencer:
Well, it’s a picture of something that’s famous
worldwide.
Host:
Wow! Look at that! Is it yours?
Spencer:
It certainly is. I didn’t buy it, though. My father
gave it to me.
Host:
How did your father get it?
Spencer:
He carried it in the 1984 Olympics. He was one
of the runners. After the Olympics finished, he
bought the torch and gave it to me.
Host:
You must be athletic, too, right?
Spencer:
No, not at all. I’m terrible at sports.
Host:
Well, what was your father’s event?
Spencer:
He ran the 800 meters. He won his first race,
but lost the second one.
Host:
Fascinating….Well, your father wasn’t only a
strong athlete—he was also a good collector.
Do you have any idea how much the torch is
worth?
Spencer:
Not at all.
Host:
It’s a good item to have. It’s probably worth
several thousand dollars.
Spencer:
Wow!
Host:
What are you going to do with it?
Spencer:
For now, I’m going to keep it. Someday I’ll give
it to a museum.
Conversation 2
Host:
Hi, Greta, it’s nice to see you’ve brought us a
fun object.
Greta:
Yeah. I really like it.
Host:
Did you play with it when you were a kid?
Greta:
A little, but not so much. My brother played with
it all the time. I played with my teddy bear
collection.
Host:
Do you know anything about this toy?
Greta:
I did some research. I know it was made in
Germany by the Lehmann Company. I’m not
sure of the date.
Host:
OK…anything else?
Greta:
That’s about it.
Host:
Well, let me tell you a little bit about the
Lehmann Company. Their toys were very
popular in the first half of the twentieth century.
They’re still making toys today.
Greta:
I didn’t know that?
Host:
How much did you pay for this toy?
Greta:
Nothing. A neighbor gave it to us before he
moved away.
Host:
Oh, that’s good news….because unfortunately,
this toy is not a Lehmann toy.
Greta:
It’s not?
Host:
Nope. I’m sorry, but it’s a fake.
Greta:
Host:
Greta:
Host:
Greta:
You’re kidding!
No, I’m not. Look at the bottom of the toy. A
Lehmann toy will have the letter “e” marked on
it. Yours doesn’t have that.
Oh, how disappointing!
Well, it’s still in good condition.
Yes, that’s true. It may not be worth anything,
but I’ll always keep it for my children.

Then I’m going on a trip next week.
Where are you going?
My wife and I are going to the Vista View
Resort.
That sounds relaxing.
Actually, it’s going to be kind of busy…in a fun
way. They have lots of activities there . . .
horseback riding, sky diving…
Sky diving?! Are you going to do that?
No, I’m going for the scuba diving.
I didn’t know you were a scuba diver.
I’m not…yet. We’re going to take lessons when
we get there. By the end of the trip, I’ll be ready
to try my first real dive.
That sounds like fun. I wish I could go . . . but
my kids are too small. They’re only 10 and 12
years old.
You know, they’re not too young. There’s a
“junior” program to prepare kids for scuba
diving. You should check it out.
I should, but I know my wife. She’ll never agree
to it. She’s afraid of the water.
Well, here’s a brochure if you’re interested. Like
I said, they have other activities besides scuba
diving. They also have a full-service spa. Maybe
your wife would enjoy that.

What kind of project?
A neighborhood association. It’s a group of
people who are trying to improve life in this
neighborhood.
This is the first I’ve heard of it. Is it a lot of work?

garbage trucks won’t be allowed to pick up
garbage before 7 a.m.

You should come to one of our meetings.
They’re on Thursday nights. At seven-thirty.
Thanks for asking, but I don’t want any more

I’m sorry about that, but I lived in the city before.

Good idea.
Please raise your hand if you have a
question. OK, ma’am, how about you?
Me? OK. Hello, Dr. Schwartz. First of all, I
enjoyed your presentation.
Thank you.
Now, here’s my question. I know it’s good
to drink water, but I only have a glass a
day. Is that healthy?
You really should drink six to eight glasses
of water a day. If you do that, you’ll feel less
tired and of course, less thirsty.
How about coffee? Is it dangerous?
A cup of coffee a day is fine. If you drink a
lot of coffee, however, you’ll have trouble
sleeping at night. And that’s not good.
And there’s another question over here…
Good evening, doctor. I have a question
about dieting. Do you recommend weight
loss drugs? I want to lose weight.
Remember: you have to change your habits
to lose weight. And you have to make those
changes forever.
So?
So, you don’t want to take drugs forever. I
don’t think it’s healthy. On the other hand,
there’s a healthy solution: if you change
11
World Link 3 - Tapescripts
your diet and eat fewer fatty foods, you’ll
lose weight. That’s a habit you can continue
forever.
We have time for one last question.
I want to lose weight, too. Does that mean I
have to avoid junk food forever?
If you stop eating junk food and start
exercising, you’ll lose weight. After you
reach a healthy weight you can eat a little
junk food—occasionally. Just remember—
don’t eat too much of it!

Hong Kong. Guests staying in the Peninsula
Suite get their own limousine driver. They also
have 24-hour butler service.
And you pay for it, too! It’s over $4,800!
Well, this one’s a little cheaper. It’s only $4,300
a night.
Hmmm, the Hotel Ritz. It’s in the center of
Paris—great for sightseeing. Lots of famous
people stay here . . . .Wait, you can’t stay there.
Why not?
It’s the Coco Chanel suite. You have to wear
designer clothes and you don’t have any!
Very funny.
Wow! The Royal Suite at Burj Al Arab is really
expensive! It’s almost $7,000—for one night!
Yeah, but look at the details. They actually have
a “helipad”—a place for landing your helicopter.
Oh, and it’s also the tallest hotel in the world.
Cool! So, when are you taking me there?
Ha ha. Actually, I think the Peninsula is my
favorite. What about you? Just a minute. Hello?.

as a present.
That’s a nice thing to do.
Well, I gave him the winning ticket. I didn’t win
anything.
That’s too bad!
Yeah. I wish I still had that ticket. He won a big
cash prize.

Did you see “Look at Them Now!” last night?
I had to do my homework, so I only saw the last

Last night they featured Jim Carrey, Jewel, and
um….What’s the name of that actor from West
Africa? He was in the movie Lora Croft: Tomb
Raider.
You mean Djimon Hounsou?
Yeah. Anyway, it’s funny to think that they were
all broke a few years ago.
Yeah. And now they’re wealthy and famous. Life
is so strange. Hey, I didn’t know that Jim Carrey
used to be broke.

Yeah. As a child, he even had to work an eighthour shift after school every day. His family
needed the money. Can you imagine?
I could never do that. It sounds really hard.
Yeah. He started his career as a stand-up comic
before he acted in movies. He’s always been a
funny guy.
What did they say about Djimon?
He was discovered in Paris by a fashion
designer. He started out as a model. Then he
appeared in music videos for Madonna and
Janet Jackson. Did you know that?
No, I didn’t.
He’s also appeared on TV. He’s done it all!
Well, I did see the part about Jewel. Her family
sure was penniless!
Basically, yes. She started singing with her
father when she was 14.
And then her parents divorced. She had to grow
up really fast.
I know, but her life is good now. She has a great
boyfriend—he’s a real-life rodeo cowboy! They
seem really happy.
“Look at Them Now!” is such a great show, isn’t
it?
It sure is. Maybe we can watch it together next
week.

Well, I don't know. I think if a person starts lying,
it might never stop. I think it's safer to never
start lying.
I think you have a strong sense of morals, and I
respect that. But in the real world, I think you
sometimes need to lie in order not to hurt
someone's feelings.
Maybe. Anyway, I feel sorry for Cindy. What’s
she going to say at her next interview?
I think she should tell the truth. She should just
say, “I was fired.” People will respect her for
telling the truth.

She’d only worked here for a week.
No, I’m serious. Did you even get a chance to
meet her?
No. I was on vacation all last week. I thought I
would meet her today.
Well, that won’t happen now!
What happened?
I heard from someone in the HR department
that she lied on her resume. She wrote down a
lot of previous job experience. None of it was
true.
I can't believe she did that!
I'm not surprised. I think people lie on their
resumes sometimes.
Really? Would you ever lie?
Not on a resume—it's too dangerous. But I
might tell a white lie to help someone. It would
depend on the circumstances.

You don’t sound very happy with it.
Well, it’s not cooked right. I asked for medium
rare. This is well done.
Why don’t you send it back?
Oh, that’s OK. I can eat it. I don’t mind.
Don’t be silly. I’m sure they’ll make you another

sources people rely on for their news. My first
interviewee is Graham Carter. Hello, Mr. Carter.
Hello.
So, what source do you rely on for news?
I count on a variety of sources for information.
It’s important to be well-informed.
Can you be more specific?
Well, I read the newspaper on the train to work.
At night I watch the local TV news, although it’s
not always so trustworthy.
What do you mean?
The reporters on those programs tend to
exaggerate. And they report stories in a simple
way. It’s more like entertainment sometimes.
So you like the really serious news stories.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Mr. Carter Standing next to me is
Lucinda Ross. What’s your opinion?
About news? Well, I like TV shows like
“Entertainment Now.”
Is that a news show?
Well, sort of. They report on current trends and
famous people.
So, it sounds like you prefer “infotainment”—you
want to get information and be entertained at
the same time.
Exactly! I don’t like heavy news stories….Oh,
and I also go online to get news sometimes.
That’s really fun and I can do it any time of day.
Good for you. Thanks for talking to me, Ms.
Ross.

Mary:
Let’s see…Greenland is in the Arctic circle—
way up north. It’s cold, …so “Is Greenland really
green?” I’d answer “probably not.”
You’d be correct. It’s too cold there. In the north,
a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are
short, so only the surface thaws.
That sounds tough.
It’s hard for the construction industry. It’s not
easy to build in Greenland.
It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to
go there?
There are big mountain ranges on the coasts.
They’re great for hiking and outdoor sports. And
there are lots of animals there.You can
sometimes see whales swimming in the
harbors.
That sounds cool! OK, so if it’s not really a
“green” place, why was it named “Greenland”?
The first settlers wanted to attract other people.
They gave it an attractive name.

What’s the topic?

Greenland. Hmmm….that’s part of Canada,
right?
I think you need to study your world geography,
Blake.
Well, isn’t it near Canada?
Yes, it’s off the coast of northeast Canada, but
it’s part of Denmark.
Oh, I didn’t know that. Well, what’s your paper
about exactly?
In my paper, I answer the question “Is
Greenland really green?” In other words, is
Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees?
Is it?

It’s beautiful. There are mountains and
lakes…and, of course, glaciers!
How was the job?
We had to do a lot of physical work. It was kind
of hard.
That’s true, but it was exciting, too! We actually
saw bears!
Wow! That does sound exciting. Maybe I should
apply. I’ll need a job next summer.

Come in here, Elise. You should see this show!
What is it?
It’s called “The Titanic of the Sky.” It’s about the
Hindenburg, a great engineering feat.
The Hindenburg…
You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in
1934. Thirty-five people died.
Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from
Germany to the United States. It crashed as it
was landing.
Right. It’s so funny looking, don’t you think? It
doesn’t look anything like the airplanes we have
today.
That’ true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin
anyway? It seems so dangerous.
Well, some people called the Hindenburg
“man’s greatest achievement in flight.” They
thought it was safe, I guess.
Who rode in it anyway?
Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated
between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One
person said it was like a “flying hotel.”
It sounds pretty great.
Yeah, and it was fast. That’s why people rode it.
They wanted to get to their destination faster.
Why didn’t they just take a jet plane?
Elise! You know they didn’t have jets back then.
Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from
Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin
could do it in half that time. It was speedy.
Well, maybe I’ll sit down and watch a little bit.
Maybe I’ll learn something…
