[00:26.00]Westhill 2648 2650 [00:27.00]F JAMES LI [00:28.00]Don't take a chance with your wedding photographs. [00:29.00]High quality professional wedding photographer Ocean Centre 2747 1888 [00:30.00]Every bride wants her wedding to be the most wonderful day of her life. [00:31.00]But perfect weddings require careful planning, [00:32.00]whether the bride and bridegroom are planning a traditional wedding [00:33.00]or just a registry office ceremony. [00:34.00]Paying for the wedding which is always a problem,will partly decide the choice. [00:35.00]The bride's clothes,which are usually expensive,require careful selection. [00:36.00]Many brides choose to a wear a white wedding dress for a registry ceremony, [00:37.00]and a red Chinese wedding gown for a traditional evening banquet. [00:38.00]Both are costly to buy but there are shops from which they can be hired. [00:39.00]These can also supply the groom's outfits: [00:40.00]a dinner jacket for the western ceremony, [00:41.00]and traditional clothes for the banquet. [00:42.00]Flowers are important in most weddings. [00:43.00]The bride and the bridesmaid whom she has chosen usually carry bouquets. [00:44.00]Centuries ago,western brides carried bunches of flowers, [00:45.00]some of which were very bad-smelling,to keep evil spirits away. [00:46.00]Nowadays,couples prefer more fragrant flowers, [00:47.00]so they should contact a good florist [00:48.00]The wedding stationery may include invitations,photo albums,menus,etc. [00:49.00]The couple need to consult a specialist printer, [00:50.00]who can give helpful advice. [00:51.00]Many people travel to a wedding by car. [00:52.00]It would be terrible if the car broke down on the way to the ceremony, [00:53.00]so the couple should remember to book a good and reliable car. [00:54.00]After the wedding,the bride and groom [00:55.00]may have a traditional banquet or a western-style reception. [00:56.00]They need to reserve the restaurant [00:57.00]and select the menu months before the wedding. [00:58.00]People who want to be different could hold the event in a park or on a boat. [00:59.00]Years afterwards, [-1:00.00]the married couple will want to look back at their wedding photos. [-1:-1.00]They should resist the temptation to ask a favourite uncle to take the photographs. [-1:-2.00]He may be good with his pocket automatic, [-1:-3.00]but he may also forget to put in a roll of film. [-1:-4.00]It is better to book a photographer who specializes in weddings. [-1:-5.00]The couple should also think about the place where the photographer will take the photos. [-1:-6.00]It does not always have to be on the steps of the registry office. [-1:-7.00]For example,one couple decided to have theirs taken in a swimming pool! [-1:-8.00]LISTENING SKILLS pages 43 to 45 [-1:-9.00]Locating specific information [-1:10.00]In these exercise you will hear a question, [-1:11.00]followed by a statement or short conversation. [-1:12.00]Look at the information provided and the four possible answers. [-1:13.00]Choose the best answer. [-1:14.00]Question 1 [-1:15.00]Which package of photographic services [-1:16.00]does the woman want to have for her wedding? [-1:17.00]A:Have you decided about the photos for your wedding yet, Idy? [-1:18.00]B:Well,Dad.I really like a Video,but it's so expensive. [-1:19.00]A:I'll take care of that.I just want everything to be right for you. [-1:20.00]B:Well,then I'd like this one. [-1:21.00]If photographers come to the wedding and reception, [-1:22.00]and we get photos and half our Video. [-1:23.00]That would be wonderful. [-1:24.00]Question 2 [-1:25.00]Which present does the woman choose for her friend's wedding? [-1:26.00]A:Can I help you,madam? [-1:27.00]B:Yes,please.I'd like to choose a wedding present for my friend's wedding. [-1:28.00]Her name's Mary Hopkins,I believe your organizing her wedding list. [-1:29.00]A:Yes,that's right. I'll just get it for you. [-1:30.00]Here,most things have already been chosen by the other guests, [-1:31.00]these are the ones that have left. [-1:32.00]B:I see.Well,I'd like to give her some cutlery really. [-1:33.00]But I can't give her knives.So I'll give those silver ones. [-1:34.00]A:Thank you very much madam. [-1:35.00]Now if I can just take your details,I'll arrange it all for you. [-1:36.00]Question 3 [-1:37.00]A:Where do these people decide to go for the Honeymoon? [-1:38.00]Look,darling,here are some ideas for our honeymoon. [-1:39.00]Where shall we go? [-1:40.00]I don't think we can afford a fortnights' holiday. [-1:41.00]What about Egypt?Do you feel like having a bit of culture? [-1:42.00]B:No,not really.Not on our honeymoon. [-1:43.00]Look let's go to this place,I've never been to Europe before. [-1:44.00]Question 4 [-1:45.00]What is the name of the woman who is speaking? [-1:46.00]A:Excuse me,can you tell me where I'm sitting? [-1:47.00]Here's my invitation. [-1:48.00]B:Let me just check the plan.Yes,here we are,you are on table 17. [-1:49.00]And you are sitting between Alan Smith and T.K.Li. [-1:50.00]You are opposite Mrs Nathan. [-1:51.00]A:Oh,thank you. [-1:52.00]Question 5 [-1:53.00]How many years will the man's parents have been married, [-1:54.00]when they celebrate their wedding anniversary next month? [-1:55.00]A:My parents have been married a long time, [-1:56.00]it's their wedding anniversary next month [-1:57.00]B:Which one is it? [-1:58.00]A:Well,last year it was twenty-four years since they got married. [-1:59.00]So it must be a special one this year. [-2:00.00]We are arranging a big party for them. [-2:-1.00]B:Then I must given them something made out of silver as a present. [-2:-2.00]SPEAKING page 51 [-2:-3.00]A Intonation of adjective clauses [-2:-4.00]Remember that non-defining clauses are adding extra,none essential information. [-2:-5.00]They are marked by one or two commas. [-2:-6.00]You should make your voice go up before the commas,and then pause. [-2:-7.00]The bride who looked lovely,was married on her birthday. [-2:-8.00]The president,who is on a tour of Asia,visited Tokyo. [-2:-9.00]Defining clauses are not marked by commas. [-2:10.00]You should not pause after the noun. [-2:11.00]In fact,they are closely linked with their noun: [-2:12.00]pretend that they are all joined by hyphens as in the examples. [-2:13.00]These clauses become part of the intonation of the main clause in the sentence. [-2:14.00]The woman-who-was-shot-last-week is now recovering well. [-2:15.00]Did the man-who-helped-you tell you his name? [-2:16.00]Exercise A1 [-2:17.00]1.The bridegroom,who is a millionaire,paid for the wedding [-2:18.00]2.The wedding which we went to last week was really beautiful [-2:19.00]3.The bride,who was wearing a yellow dress,arrived in a white car. [-2:20.00]4.The tailor who made that dress is really skilful. [-2:21.00]Exercise A2 [-2:22.00]1.In Seoul today over 30,000 couples were married. [-2:23.00]The ceremony,which took place in the Olympic stadium, [-2:24.00]was the world's largest mass wedding. [-2:25.00]2.The number of people who are getting married is going down. [-2:26.00]As a result,two registry offices will close on 1st May. [-2:27.00]Those staff members whose jobs will be lost will be moved to other offices. [-2:28.00]3.Despite the fact that fewer people are getting married, [-2:29.00]the cost of a wedding is getting higher and higher. [-2:30.00]All of the details,from the service and banquet to the wedding dress and car, [-2:31.00]add up to be very expensive. [-2:32.00]Cassette 2 side A [-2:33.00]MID-TERMPROGRESS FILE [-2:34.00]pages 56 and 57 [-2:35.00]A Listening [-2:36.00]Exercise A1 [-2:37.00]Listen and choose the best answer to each question. [-2:38.00]Question 1 [-2:39.00]On which day will they have the dinner party? [-2:40.00]A:Mum,when do you think would be the best day for our dinner party? [-2:41.00]B:Well,when is the last examination? [-2:42.00]A:Most of the exams finish this Tuesday,the 17th, [-2:43.00]but there are some music exams which go on until the 23rd [-2:44.00]B:I think you'd better wait until after then. [-2:45.00]And when is the end of term? [-2:46.00]A:That's on Thursday,26th. [-2:47.00]B:Well,why don't you have it on the Saturday night after that. [-2:48.00]A:Yes,that would be good. [-2:49.00]Question 2 How many students will probably attend the dinner? [-2:50.00]A:Do you think all of you classmates will attend the dinner? [-2:51.00]I know that is difficult to get people to come to the events. [-2:52.00]Sometimes only half the total number will come. [-2:53.00]B:Oh,I think most people will come. [-2:54.00]At first I thought every single person would come, [-2:55.00]but then I realized that some would be on holiday, [-2:56.00]or might have other family dinners. [-2:57.00]So then I thought only about a hundred might come. [-2:58.00]Anyway I asked the class monitors to check with each class. [-2:59.00]And they think that about 90% will turn up in the end. [-3:00.00]A:Well,that would be a very good figure [-3:-1.00]Question 3 [-3:-2.00]How much will Bely charge for coming to make a video film of the dinner party? [-3:-3.00]A:Did you ask Bely about making a video film? [-3:-4.00]B:Yes,he said he would be delighted to do so. [-3:-5.00]A:But,I don't know if we can afford it. [-3:-6.00]Look at his prices on this card. [-3:-7.00]$3,000 for a school event. [-3:-8.00]B:No,that's for a full day,like a sports Day. [-3:-9.00]Since he is our cousin,he said he would do it really cheaply. [-3:10.00]He is prepare to make the film for half of his minimum price for a dinner party. [-3:11.00]A:That's very good of him. [-3:12.00]B:And afterwards he'll sell copies of the video [-3:13.00]to your classmates for just $50 each. [-3:14.00]Exercise A2 [-3:15.00]Listen and take notes of the main details on the forms [-3:16.00]Conversation 1 [-3:17.00]A:So I was hoping your restaurant might be free on that night? [-3:18.00]B:Well,yes.I suppose we could,you could come at 7 p.m. [-3:19.00]but you would all have to leave by 9 p.m. [-3:20.00]As we have another big party arriving later. [-3:21.00]A:I see,and how much would it cost? [-3:22.00]We're only students,so we can't afford an expensive meal. [-3:23.00]B:Well,it would be our usual prices. [-3:24.00]Our cheapest would be $120 for each person [-3:25.00]A:120,right.I'll have to think about it. [-3:26.00]B:Well,can you let me know by six o'clock tomorrow evening if you want to make a booking? [-3:27.00]A:Right,I'll do that thanks very much. Good-bye. B:Good-bye. [-3:28.00]Conversation 2 On Saturday night. [-3:29.00]A:I'm ringing you because I know that your daughter Angela [-3:30.00]is one of our students. [-3:31.00]And she said that you might be able to help us. [-3:32.00]B:Oh,yes,that's right.Yes,we'd be please to help you [-3:33.00]We would really enjoy having your school here. [-3:34.00]So we can often use special rate,$85 per person, [-3:35.00]and we will give you a really good dinner for that price. [-3:36.00]A:That sounds very good. [-3:37.00]B:Now,there is just one problem,we can't do it on the night you want. [-3:38.00]But we could do it on Sunday the 29th July. [-3:39.00]Then you could all come here at eight o'clock. [-3:40.00]And we'll give you dinner,and you can stay till mid-night. [-3:41.00]We'll also include free soft drinks, and afterwards, [-3:42.00]we can give you a karaoke show--free. [-3:43.00]A:Well,that would be wonderful. [-3:44.00]Yes,I would definitely like to book that please. [-3:45.00]B:Oh,good.We'll look forward to it very much. [-3:46.00]Now,I'll tell you all about....
