T e a c h e r : Good morning, all! Sit down, please! I expect no one is away?
M o n i t o r : Nobody is. All are present. Oh, sorry, Ann is not here.
T e a c h e r : What's up? Is she ill?
M o n i t o r : It's flu with a high temperature.
T e a c h e r : That's too bad. Well now. Let's begin. We'll check our homework. Mike, will you take your
exercise-book [bad word] to the board?
M i k e : Shall I write the words in transcription?
T e a c h e r : Do. And you, Helen, read Text 7, will you? The others should write down the mistakes if she
has any. Do you follow me? Will you read a little louder, please. That'll do. Any mistakes noticed?
J u l i a : I believe there's some palatalization in the nouns "family" and "Benny".
T e a c h e r : That's it. Please, Helen, pronounce the words. Now it's correct. You must work more.
Pronunciation is your weak point, I'm afraid.
e l e n : Shall I read the text again for the next time?
T e a c h e r : Yes. Have another try and make your reading more distinct. Now everybody look at the
board!
M i k e : Shall I read the exercise?
T e a c h e r : Of course. (Mike reads). Is everything correct, Pete?
P e t e : I think it is.
T e a c h e r : Thank you, Mike. Clean the board, please, and go to your seat. (To the monitor). Have we got
the headphones ?
Mo n i t o r : Here they are.
T e a c h e r : Fine. Let's listen to the new text. Open your books at page 81. Will you please switch on the
cassette-recorder? Thank you.
