2a Paul is learning English. Listen and check the learning challenges he talks about.
Ms Mitchell: You look worried, Paul.
Paul: I am, Ms Mitchell. I'm having trouble learning English.
Ms Mitchell: You said you liked English. What's the problem?
Paul: I can't get the pronunciation right.
Ms Mitchell: Well, listening can help. Why don't you borrow the teacher's tapes? You can listen to them at home and repeat the sentences that are difficult for you.
Paul: That's a good idea. But what about all the new words? I forget a lot of new words.
Ms Mitchell: You can always write the new words in your note book and study them at home. You can even study in the train on the way to school.
Paul: That might really help! Thanks.
Ms Mitchell: Can you understand when people talk to you?
Paul: Well, no. Not always. Sometimes I just don't understand what people are saying.
Ms Mitchell: Why don't you join an English language club to practice speaking English? The English club meets after school on Tuesdays Thursdays.
Paul: Maybe I'll go. The only other problem I have is that I don't get much writing practice.
Ms Mitchell: Maybe you should find a pen pal.
Paul: That sounds like a fun way to practice writing. Thanks Ms Mitchell.

Section A,
1b Listen and circle âTâ (for true) or âFâ (for false).
Woman: So, what are you doing this afternoon, Anna?
Anna: I'm going to the mall with John. He just got his driver's license.
Woman: I'm sorry. You can't go with John. I don't think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to drive. They aren't serious enough at that age.
Anna: But I have to go to the mall. Gaby's getting her ears pierced and I want to watch.
Woman: I don't think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to get their ears pierced. They might be sorry later.
Anna: I agree, but it's fun to watch. Is it OK if we take the bus?
Woman: Well, I guess so.
Anna: Great! I want to buy a new blouse at the mall, too.
Woman: What kind are you going to buy? Maybe I should go with you.
Anna: Aw, Mom. I'm not a child. I think teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.
Woman: Well, I just want to be sure you get something nice.

Molly: I disagree with you. Teenage boys never get tired.
Kathy: Well, maybe. But Larry shouldn't work every night.
Molly: Oh, I agree. He needs time to do homework.
Kathy: You know, Molly... he should really cut his hair.
Molly: Oh, I don't know. Do you think it's too long?
Kathy: Yes, I do. It doesn't look clean. And I think he should stop wearing that silly earring.
Molly: Oh, I disagree. I kind of like it. It looks cool!
Kathy: You know what worries me - Larry doesn't seem to have many friends.
Molly: Yeah, I know. I think he shouldn't work on weekends.

Peter: That's right. But I know I could pass that test.
Man: Well, Peter, the school has to have rules, you know.
