A: It’s too bad this living room is so small.
B: Why? What would you do if we had more space? C
A: I’d buy a bigger couch.
B: Oh, really? I wouldn’t spend money on furniture. I’d get a big-screen TV and put it
in the corner!
A: That’s ridiculous. We don’t have enough money.
B: I know. You’re right.
A: OK. Let’s look at the kitchen.
B: I think my friend has some leftover yellow paint from his house. If he does, I’ll
paint the walls.
A: Great idea. Hey, isn’t your sister good at sewing? What if we ask her to make us
new curtains? Do you think she’d charge us much money?
B: I’m sure she’ll make them for free if we ask her. She loves to sew.
A: Now, … what about the bathroom? It’s really ugly.
B: Well, if we want to change the colors, we can buy a new shower curtain and rug.
That’s not too expensive.
A: OK. But the color is only part of the problem. Look at this place. It’s so dirty.
B: You’re right. Maybe the bathroom would look better if we cleaned it
A: I guess if we were home more often, we might clean it.

Interviewer: Hi Eric, thanks for coming in today. So tell me, why do you want to be
on MADE? What’s your secret ambition?
Eric: I want to be a Warrior.
Interviewer: Uh . . . What exactly do you mean by that?
Eric: The Warriors is the name of my school basketball team. I want to be on the
team.
Interviewer: Oh, OK. Tell me why.
Eric: Well, I’d like to play on a great team. The Warriors win almost every game. If I
were on the basketball team, I’d make friends with the guys on the team.
Interviewer: What are the obstacles in your way?
Eric: For one thing, I’m not good at basketball. And I’m short.
Interviewer: Well, if we chose you for the show, we wouldn’t change your height. But
we would give you a basketball coach. Here’s my last question for you, What makes
you “MADE-material”?
Eric: Uh ... sorry, I’m not exactly sure what you mean.
Interviewer: Let me rephrase that. Why should we choose you to be on MADE?
Eric: Oh, OK. I’m a really motivated person. I always work hard to achieve my goals
at school and at work. This goal is just a little harder for me to reach on my own. I
could use a coach to help me.

Interviewer: So Amber, what’s your secret aspiration?
Amber: Sorry... I’m not exactly sure what you mean.
Interviewer: Let me rephrase that. What’s your ambition? Your dream?
Amber: Oh. Yeah. I want to go to Hollywood and be an actress.
Interviewer: Can you tell me some of your reasons?
Amber: Well, if I were in a movie, I might become famous. And if I were a famous
movie star, I’d make a lot of money.
Interviewer: OK. Why don’t you tell me about some of the obstacles you face.
Amber: Well, I don’t like the way I look. If I did, I might have the self-confidence to
go on auditions for movies. If I want to work in Hollywood, I need a complete
makeover.
Interviewer: I see. Are there any other obstacles?
Amber: I guess so. I don’t have any acting experience. And when I speak in public, I
get really nervous. I need an acting coach.
Interviewer: OK, my final question Amber: Why should we choose you to be on
MADE?
Amber: Hmm. Well, maybe if I went on MADE, someone in Hollywood would notice
me and put me in a movie. Maybe I could get famous just by being on your TV show!

Reporter: I’m here at the San Francisco city dump, where an unusual art exhibit is
taking place. This season’s artists-in-residence are showing works made from garbage.
I’m talking with the artist Gabriel Moura. Gabriel, tell us about your experience here.
Gabriel: I made these sculptures from old bicycles and plastic food containers.
Reporter: Did your experience here change you?
Gabriel: Oh, yes. It completely changed the way I look at garbage. I can’t believe how
much people throw away. It’s made me more aware of the need to recycle.
Reporter: That’s great. Will you continue making art out of garbage?
Gabriel: Yes, from now on I will only use garbage for my materials.
Reporter: Let’s talk to some of the visitors here. Ma’am, what do you think of the
exhibit?
Woman: It’s amazing. I would put this art in my home if I could afford to buy it! And
this exhibit has introduced me to a lot of exciting new artists.
Reporter: And you, sir? What’s your reaction to the exhibit?
Man: It motivates me to recycle more. If everyone recycled more, we wouldn’t need
such a big city dump.
Reporter: True. But if we didn’t throw away so much, these artists would have less
material.
Man: I guess you’re right.
