SARA
Hi, I’m Sara, and my phobia is
the color yellow. Seeing the sun,
yellow paint, or yellow flowers is
frightening for me. Even the word
“yellow” scares me!
JAKE
Hi, I’m Jake, and I hate walking
through forests. As a child, watching
fairy tales and movies with scary
forests in them may have caused my
phobia. I can’t walk through a forest,
and I panic if I hear the word tree.
CARRIE
I’m Carrie, and I hate clowns! It’s
quite a common phobia actually,
especially in children. Some famous
actors, such as Daniel Radcliffe and
Johnny Depp, also have this phobia.
Seeing a clown is frightening for
us. Watching movies is one cause
of this phobia. Clowns are often
scary characters in animated movies
and comics. Remember the Joker in
Batman?
LUCA
Hi, I’m Luca. I’m sure you all know
somebody with my phobia! It was

ARTURO What makes a speech a great speech?
What do you think, John?
JOHN
A memorable sentence.
ARTURO A memorable sentence?
JOHN
Yes, remember Martin Luther King’s
speech. He repeated the phrase, “I
have a dream” at the beginning of
each of his nine points. It was very
powerful.
ARTURO Yes, I agree. Anything else?
JOHN
A great speech should be organized.
ARTURO Organized? That sounds boring.
JOHN
Have you listened to Steve Job’s
graduation ceremony speech?
ARTURO No.
JOHN
It’s an amazing speech. In 2005,
Steve Jobs made an opening speech
at Stanford University’s graduation
ceremony in America. It began with,
“Today I want to tell you three stories
from my life. That’s it. No big deal.
Just three stories.” And that’s exactly
what he did. It was very personal. It
was emotional, and it was full of good
advice. You can watch it on YouTube.
ARTURO What else makes a great speech?
JOHN
A story. A good example of telling a
story is Barack Obama’s speech at the
Democratic National Convention in
2004. He linked his life story with the
story of America. You should read it
sometime.
ARTURO I will. But meanwhile, I’ve still got to
write my speech.
JOHN
Well, read these three speeches.
They’ll help you to write it. I’m sure.

HOST
Welcome, everyone. Today, our guest,
Alan Smith, is going to talk to us about
working as a sales executive. Let’s give
him a warm welcome, please.
ALAN
Hi, everyone. It’s nice to be here to
talk to you today. I’ve worked in sales
for most of my career. And I’d like to
say it’s a very rewarding career. It’s not
a regular office job. You will need to
work long hours. Many sales executives
spend a lot of time on the road or
traveling overseas.
HOST
What skills and qualifications do you
need for the job, Alan?
ALAN
You need to be confident, and you
need to have good communication
skills. You need to be reliable, and
you need to always be on time for all
your appointments. You need to be

ambitious. And you also need to be
able to take rejection.
Do I need any special qualifications?
Your personality is the most important
qualification. However, if you have a
degree in business or management,
that will look good on your resumé.
What do you like about the job?
You get to meet lots of people and
travel to many different places. One
day I’m in the Midwest in Chicago
and the next I’m on the east coast in
Boston.
What’s the salary like?
Well, it depends on the industry, but it
can be very good. I started at $55,000
a year and my salary rose to $70,000,
plus bonuses. But I had to work long
hours.
That sounds good. Does the position
have good career prospects?
Yes, it does. There are good career
prospects for talented sales executives.
You can look forward to a career as
a sales manager, an area or regional
sales manager, and eventually a sales
director.
What are the disadvantages of the job?
It can be a lonely life because you’re
traveling a lot of the time. You spend a
lot of time away from your family and
friends.
What are the main tasks of a sales
executive?
Well, I’ve prepared a handout for
you, but I’ll just run through the main
tasks with you now. In a nutshell,
you have to sell as many of your
company’s products as possible. This
means visiting customers regularly
and finding new markets and business
opportunities. You also have to
represent your company at trade fairs
and other events.

A Have you read J.K. Rowling’s first detective
novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling, about the
private detective, Cormoran Strike? It’s such
an amazing book!
B Yeah, it’s such a great story. I couldn’t
put it down. It’s full of such interesting
characters. I’m really into detective novels,
and this was a good one!
A How interesting! I thought you liked
romance novels
B No way! Romantic novels are such rubbish.
They’re not my thing. I like thrillers, fantasy
novels and I’m crazy about detective
novels. They’ve always got such interesting
plots.

Transcript 20
When I was nine years old I went on vacation
with a friend and her family to Cape Cod in
Massachusetts. We stayed at her grandparents’
house. It was a large, white house on a grassy
clifftop with beautiful views of the ocean from
the large porch. It was the kind of house you
read about in books. It was a vacation I will
never forget. We went to the beach every day.
It was a huge, sandy beach. We looked for
crabs in the rock pools, and we collected shells.
We walked along the beach and climbed over
the rocks below the cliffs looking for caves.
You had to watch the time. If the tide came
in, it could be dangerous. We swam in the
ocean, and we went bodysurfing, too. There
were big waves. Some days we went out in the
fishing boat, and we caught lots of fish. Other
days we took the ferry across to a little nearby
fishing town and bought candy that looked
like pebbles. The family moved to Cape Cod
soon after that vacation, and we lost touch
with them. I have been back to Cape Cod since
that vacation, but I’ve never been able to find
the white house on the top of the cliff. It will
stay as a fond memory.
