LISTENING TEXT
R = Reporter A = Ann
B = Ben L = LilyR: I’ve heard that you’ve started a
reading club, is that right?
A: I’m interested in modern American
literature and we don’t get so much
of that at school. Teachers think it’s
too difficult for us. There are man
y English Corners, but in most of th
em the conversation is about everyd
ay life. There’s not much opportunit
y to talk about other things.
R: Don’t you like English Corners
them, eh Ben?
B: I used to go to one every week
when I was younger. But now, I
feel my spoken English is quite
alright. Besides, it is more and
more difficult to find foreigners to
come and talk to us. In an English
Corner, the topics are always the
same. You often don’t know what
else to talk about. So we got tog
ether and decided to start another
kind of activity.
R: So you started this reading club.
L: That’s right. At the end of Senior ll,
we had the feeling that it would be i
nteresting to read short stories in E
nglish and discuss them.
R: You discuss the stories as well?
A: Yes. We first started doing this with
a foreign teacher, as a way of having
something useful to talk about in
our English Corner. When he left,
we felt that reading and then talking
about stories was so nice that we
decided to go on with it.
R: So what do you read? Short stories,
do you read any novels at all?
B: We sometimes read books, but
mostly short stories and novels that
have been adapted for students like
us. I like reading detective stories
and classical literature. We are
now seven students, and we read
two stories a month. Our teacher
sometimes helps us to find good
stories. We take turns to write a
report about the story and our
discussion for the school newspaper.
R: So what have you been reading
lately, Lily?
L: The last story we read together was
The Call of the Wild, by Jack
London and before that we read a
few humourous stories by Mark T
wain. I am just reading for pleasur
e. I think the Club helps me to rea
d more and talk more.
R: Are there any other advantages?
A: Oh, yes. I would recommend
everyone to join a reading club. It’s
an interesting and useful way of
speaking English. You also learn
more about life and literature in
English-speaking countries.

LISTENING TEXT
A mother visits the Mark Twain House
& Museum with her son and daughter
and is shown around by a professional
guide.
G=Guide M=Mother
S=Son D=Daughter
G: Welcome to the Mark Twain House
and Museum. Mark Twain is one
of America’s most famous writers.
Do you know any books written by
Twain?
D: Ehm, The Adventures of Tom Sawy
er and eh, The Adventures of Huck
leberry Finn.
G: Yes, very good. Twain wrote these
books while he lived in this house.
He loved the house because it
reminded him of his youth, and
from the window he could hear the
sounds of his own children and
their friends playing on the banks
of the river.
M: Is the house still the way it was
when Twain lived here?
G: Yes. The house has been restored
to the way it was when Twain lived
here between 1881 and 1891.
M: How long will the tour take?
G: It’ll take about two hours, and the
group must stay together. Please,
don’t touch anything.
M: Oh, can you make it a bit shorter?
I don’t think the kids will stay
quiet for such a long time.
G: Ok. We’re now in the hall.
Immediately on the right is the
drawing room, a rather formal
room, where Twain received guests.
The doors on the left leads to the gues
t room. The two doors in front lead to
the rooms on the north side of the ho

r on the right, and the library throug
h the door on the left. Let’s first take
a look in the library.
S: I don’t think I want to see the library.
M: Shut up, Dave.
G: As you can see, the room called the
library does not very much look like
a library. It is one of the nicest rooms
in the house. Here, Twain recited
poetry or read aloud stories to his
family and friends.
D: Look, they’ve got a greenhouse.
G: Yes. The small room on the west
side, off the library was filled with
large, green plants. Twain’s
daughters called it The Jungle. From
the library, we can pass on to the
dining room. Twain and his family
had most of their meals here. The khad most of their meals here. The k
