Jameela: I work so hard for four years. I need a break now. I majored in biology and chemistry and I had a summer job in a day-care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in west Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday, but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.

Jennie: I study business and it’s easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company. I hope I can start my own business, maybe something with food. I love cooking, in college I cook dinner for roommate every night.

Shane: Wow, four years really went fast. I can’t believe it’s graduation day. My major was computer science but I spent all of my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies next week. I’m not worried about getting a job but I really want to play music too, that’s my biggest dream.

Interviewer: We now have a winner! Stephanie Lee from Vancouver, Canada answered our questions and won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She's going to travel for three months and write about her experiences for our website. Interviewer: Do you have any international travel experience?

Stephanie Lee: Yes, I do. Tokyo years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China, I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year. Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?

Stephanie Lee: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don't get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top, I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.

Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn't pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?

D. Listen to two people talking about their attitudes towards cell phones. Pay attention to the expressions hey use.

1. I don't like cell phones that much. They're necessary…and they're very useful in emergencies…but in general, I think that they're not a good thing.

2. I like cell phones because they connect you with people. Wherever you are people can reach you. What I don't like about cell phones is when they ring at the most unexpected times. Track 3-6-OL-1 Track 3-6-OL-2 Conversation 1

L: I think a plane ticket is cheaper than your phone bill. Track 3-6-OL-5 Track 3-6-OL-6 Do you want to get a cell phone?

1. everyone loves cell phones. More and more people are buying cell phones. With the cell phone,

you can keep in touch with friends, family and co-workers everywhere you go. It’s important to choose the right cell phone and the right company.

2. choose the right plan. Look at plans from different companies and answer these questions:

will I use my cell phone everyday or only in an emergency? When will I make calls, during the day, at night or weekends? Does the price fit my monthly budget?

3. what phone is right for you? Before you buy a phone, think about these things: what size do

you want? Is it easy to use? Does it have the features you need, for example voice dialing or Internet service?

4. don’t talk and drive. You need two hands to drive a car. Taking your hand off the steeling

wheel to use your phone is risky. In some places, it’s illegal. If you need to make a receive or call, stop at the side of the road.

5. use your cell phone politely. Turn your phone off in meetings, movies, restaurants or any

place where ringing phone might disturb people. It’s OK to use your cell phone in a public place, just remember to speak softly and keep your conversation private. Track 3-6-OL-7 Track 3-6-OL-8 How do you feel about cell phones?

It can't be denied: there has been a cell phone boom in the last decade. Everywhere you go, people seem to be talking on the telephone. How do people feel about cell phones? Our on-the-street survey found some interesting answers.

Sixty-nine percent of the people we asked think cell phones are convenient and save time. Nineteen percent use cell phones only when they have to. A small percentage----only three percent----think cell phones are unnecessary. Another three percent say they are addicted to their cell phones! There have been some problems associated with cell phones. Some cities have passed laws affecting ell phone use. For example, in some places, it is now illegal to drive and use your cell phone at the same time. A survey asked people about cell phones and laws. Here is how they answered.

There should be laws about cell phone usage in classrooms, theaters, and restaurants. 57%

while driving. 45% on public transportation. 34%

One thing is sure about cell phones: everyone has an opinion about how and when they should be used! Listen to w hat these four people had to say:
