Shipbuilders have told their leaders to ‘fight to the end’ to stop dockyards from closing and 1,000 of their men losing their jobs. Sir Albert Pringle, chairman of British shipbuilders, has asked Peter Arkwright, the president of the Shipbuilders’ Union, to attend a meeting next Thursday. Meanwhile, the Government has ordered Sir Albert to give important naval contracts to the Japanese. b) Listen to Sir Albert Pringle and Peter Arkright giving their views on the strike. (Headway Intermediate/old, tape 37) Say if they are eager to sit down to talks with the other party.  community – общество, сообщество, община Sir Albert Pringle: 57 In my opinion, this strike is a complete waste of time – of my time and the shipbuilders’ time. No worker will be made redundant. Some dockyards. About five or six, will close, because as a nation we do not have enough orders to keep them working. This industry musr make a profit to survive. Men at dockyards which close will be offered jobs at other yards. I want this strike to end as soon as possible. I have asked Mr. Arkwright to sit down and talk, but he refuses. He is trying to make this stirke political, not industrial, and there is real risk of shipbuilders losing their jobs if this strike goes on much longer. We are losing our orders to foreign competitors. Peter Arkright: We are on strike because shipbuilders’ jobs are in danger. Sir Albert Pringle wants to make 750 men redundant by closing ten dockyards. We can still make the best ships in the world, but this management is trying to get rid of all the workers, and soon there will be npo shipbuilders left in the country. We are trying to save not just jobs but communities that have always depended on shipbuilding for a living. Now, I want this strike to end as soon as possible. I have invited Sir Albert Pringle to sit down and talk, but he refuses. This is not just an industrial strike. It is political, because we are fighting for the right of the working man to have a job and live in his own place of birth. My men are prepared to stay out on strike as long as it is necessary to save this industry. c) Listen to the recording again and render what either speaker says in favour of his viewpoint. e) Listen to the texts once more. Let one half of the students explain Sir Albert’s view on the reasons for the government’s actions and the other half – the reasons for the strike. Try to come to terms with your “opponents”.

DISCUSSION  3. a) Read the following text. chaotic [keI'OtIk] Reading Detective Stories in Bed J.B.Priestley, a well-known British author, explaining why he reads detective stories said: ‘I find this delightful at home, and even more delightful when I am away from home. But why detective stories? Why not some good literature? Because, with a few happy exceptions, good literature, which excites the mind, will not do. In my view we should read it away from the bedroom. But why not some dull stuff – memoirs, works about travel? Here I can speak only for myself. If my bedtime book is too dull then I begin to think about my own work and then sleep doesn’t come for hours. No, the detective story is the thing. Because what we want, or at least I want late at night – is a tale that is in its own way a picture of life but yet has an entertaining puzzle element in it. And the detective story offers me just this. When you come to the end of a crime novel, at least something in this huge chaotic world has been settled.’ b) Answer the teacher’s questions.
