Tapescript:

W: Hi, Tom! I heard you’ve just had a new-born son.

M: Yes. I’m very excited. I had never thought that having a baby would make me think a lot about the future.

W: Oh? What are you thinking about?

M: I’m wondering what is life will be in ten years.

W: So you are predicting the future?

M: Not really. Being a teacher, I’m not sure if his education will be a lot different from what was for us when we were ten or twelve.

三问部分：

Question 1: 你12岁时，学校是怎样的？

How was the school when you were twelve?/ What was the school like when you were twelve?/What was school like when you were at the age of twelve?

Answer 1: I remember I had a classroom with about twenty students in it. Teachers used the white board rather than the computer screen in the classroom. There was not so much homework to do after class. So we had a lot of time to do sports outside.

Question 2: 你认为体育活动将是一样的吗？Do you think that sports will be the same?/ Will sports be the same in your opinion?/Do you think the sports in the future will be the same as those of the past?

Answer 2: It’s hard to say. I just wonder if he will play games with his friends in the park. Actually, it worries me that kids don’t play sports freely as we did. I remember when I was twelve we would always play basketball games or baseball games. I don’t know if kids do that so much anymore. They may do something really different. You know, things change quickly these days.

Question 3: 最大的变化会是什么？What will the biggest change be?/ What is the biggest change going to be?/ What can the biggest change be?/ What will the greatest change be?/ What is the greatest change going to be?/ What can the greatest change be?/ What will be the largest changes?

Answer 3: I guess the greatest change might be the way of learning. Technology could change learning in ways that we cannot imagine. Maybe in the future, each student will have a robot to help with his reading and writing. This would make learning much more interesting and easier.

Time and Trust

Tom was invited by a university in New York City for a job interview which was set at 10:00 a.m. Tom had never been to the city and he wasn’t aware of the heavy morning traffic. When he was nearing the downtown, his bus was only able to move forward at a very slow pace with so many cars on the road. So he reached the university an hour late and missed the interview. Fortunately, he was offered another interview which was again at 10:00 a.m. two days later. Tom was very embarrassed about being late and decided that it would never happen again. So he started out very early on the day of the second interview. It was a freezing winter morning and Tom made his way in the falling snow. He reached the university two hours earlier and waited at the gate of the building. When the director came to work, he was surprised to see Tom so early. Tom explained that he did not want to be late again. The director called him in and gave him an offer right away, saying that a man who cared so much about time should be trusted.
