In spring, the city of Washington is breezy and there are frequent showers. The ground is very damp, so flowers begin sprouting. When summer comes, there may be storms with thunder and lightning, or it can be scorching hot. Late summer gets humid, and people try to avoid the muggy heat in the city by going to the countryside or the beach. In the fall, we enjoy the crisp cool days of October before it gets chilly and rainy in November. Winter brings freezing rain, low temperatures and overcast skies. School children hope that light flurries of snow will change into a blizzard so their school will be closed for a few days. Listening Task

Winter – it snowed a lot; they made snowmen
She accepted invitations to a Laker’s basketball game, and to the opera.
She doesn’t say this directly, but she may think she cannot say no to her boss –
that if she refuses she might lose her job.
Now she is worried about whether she can refuse an invitation to the ballet, and
how she should do it.
Script
I just started working at a small company and I want to make a good impression.
One day my boss comes up to me and says, “I’ve got tickets to the Laker’s
basketball game on Sunday. Do you wanna go?” I don’t know anything about
basketball, but he said he wanted me to get to know the other people in the
office, and I didn’t want to seem rude, so I went, “Sure, I’ll go.” It was okay
′cause there were other people from the office at the game. So I didn’t mind.
But, the next time I see him he comes up to me and says, “Wanna go to the opera
next weekend? I have an extra ticket.” I was like, “Okay, that’s kind of weird,”
but I thought, well, maybe this is all right. I’d never been to an opera. And so
we went to the opera, but it was all in Italian and it got to be really boring
but I sat through the whole show. I wanted to leave but he’s my boss, so I
couldn’t say no. I didn’t feel like I could leave. So after that, I tried to
avoid him in the office and I almost make it through the week when he corners me
yesterday in the breakroom. And now he’s invited me to go to the ballet. I hate
the ballet! How do I get out of this situation?

Okay, sit back in your chair. And let your hands rest loosely in your lap. Close
your eyes. Now lift your shoulders up and then let them fall. Breathe in,
filling your lungs with air. Now let your breath out very slowly. Imagine you
are on a beach. See the sand, the trees and the water. Feel the soft sand below
you. Let your feet sink into the sand. Look at the gentle waves in the water.
The waves are coming in…and going out. You’re breathing slowly and calmly, like
the waves. Feel the warm sun on your skin. Oh, you feel good. You’re relaxed.
You’re well and happy. Now, see yourself slowly leaving the beach. Your body is
warm and relaxed. You come back to your daily life with new energy and joy. And
now, slowly, open your eyes.

1.     It’s fun.
2.     I want to buy too much.
3.     The service is great.
4.     It’s hard to find things.
Script
1.     In Paris I shop for stuff differently. They’ve got big supermarkets and
stuff like back home, but I like to buy everything at a different shop. Today
I’m going to the bakery for bread, cheese shop for cheese, and to the open
market for fruits and vegetables. It takes longer to shop, but it’s not as
expensive, and it’s more fun!
2.     I don’t know how I’m going to get all my stuff back home when I move.
Last time I came to this store I got a really nice table and a set of chairs, a
desk and a chest of drawers…They make the nicest things out of the finest wood
here. I really can’t get anything else though…[pause] except for this coffee
table I’ve got to have it!
3.     I tell you, Thailand is THE place to shop. I mean, the service is great.
Like here they measure you and make you anything you want. Today I’m having a
silk blouse and a cashmere overcoat made. You can bargain with them to get a
better price, but even if you don’t it’s not that expensive.
4.     I really like living here, but sometimes it’s so hard to find the things
I need. Like toothpaste with fluoride, and I still haven’t been able to find
deodorant. I’ve gone to drugstores, the grocery store… I’ve even tried to
describe deodorant to the shopkeepers. On hot days when I sweat a lot, I try not
to get too close to people…
