[00:11.94]At Debbie's school,students can write to the teacher counsellor [00:18.89]about their problems as well as speak to her. [00:23.93]Here are extracts from three letters she received recently. [00:30.38]1 One evening last month, [00:36.02]I was visiting a close friend in her new high rise flat [00:42.19]when she accidentally knocked a flower pot from her window. [00:48.74]It smashed on the ground below,narrowly missing some children at play. [00:56.11]However,we could see that no one was hurt, [01:01.07]so we said nothing and left for the movies as planned. [01:07.03]Returning home later that evening, [01:11.39]my friend learned that the police had been to the flats [01:17.17]and questioned all the tenants present. [01:21.82]They had even taken the son of one tenant to the police station. [01:28.35]After questioning him,they let him go temporarily. [01:34.51]Frightened of losing her job in the civil service, [01:39.94]my friend has said nothing to the police. [01:44.49]Although no one was injured,I have a guilty conscience and ... [01:51.57]2 Late last night,while traveling home by train. [01:59.12]I saw three tough guys enter my almost empty carriage. [02:06.77]Sitting down beside a young boy who was travelling alone, [02:13.85]they began to tease and bully him. [02:18.89]Their behaviour was so bad that it made him move to another seat. [02:27.15]That did no good. [02:30.60]They just followed him and continued their bullying. [02:36.47]The boy was obviously frightened. [02:41.15]At this point,I got off at my station and walked home, [02:47.99]feeling sorry for the boy. [02:52.15]I wanted to help him, [02:55.80]but not being Superman and hating violence,what could I do?Should I...? [03:06.25]3 The check out assistant at my usual supermarket is always rude and unhelpful. [03:18.32]When I gave her a five-hundred dollar note to pay for an eight dollar purchase, [03:27.99]she was so busy grumbling [03:32.45]that she accidentally gave me an extra hundred-dollar note in my change. [03:42.30]On discovering the error,I went back to tell her about it. [03:50.56]'Excuse me,'I said. [03:54.32]But before I could continue,she barked, [04:00.27]'Can't you see there's a queue?Go to the end and wait your turn.' [04:07.72]That did it!I left the shop with the hundred dollars and a clear conscience. [04:17.28]I had done my best,before leaving,to correct the error. But ...

[11:26.52]MORE LANGUAGE INPUT (4) Reading [11:31.77]page 70 [11:34.65]A letter from the teacher counsellor [11:38.20]Dear Friends [11:40.94]Thank you very much for your letters. [11:44.91]Since the three of you have expressed more or less the same problem of having a guilty conscience [11:52.18]I would like to share with you some general view [11:57.22]on the matter here in our Teacher Counsellor's Corner. [12:01.89]I expect to meet you each next week during my office hours. [12:07.22]I must say that I am pleased to read your letters. [12:11.87]And from what you have described about the flower pot that dropped accidentally [12:17.83]from the high rise, [12:20.89]the ugly guys who teased and bullied the little boy on the train, [12:26.34]and the rude and careless cashier at the supermarket, [12:31.91]I have the sure feeling that you are all very honest and good students. [12:39.07]Clearly,you have a fair and sensible judgement [12:44.63]about the things that happen around you. [12:48.60]And this is very important. [12:52.15]I understand that you were not quite sure about how to react properly in those situations [12:59.60]and you still feel sorry for that. [13:03.67]In my opinion,your weakness may lie in a kind of hesitation [13:10.13]and lack of courage in unexpected incidents. [13:15.19]In other words,if you had been a little more courageous [13:21.15] and more confident about yourselves, [13:25.59]you would have shown more strength and wisdom. [13:29.74]Dear friends,if a guilty conscience has made you reflect upon your past failure [13:37.40]I believe that careful thinking together with continuous effort [13:44.03]will certainly bring you more positive and successful solutions in the future [13:50.49]You are moving in the right direction. [13:54.46]I look forward to seeing you in my office. [13:58.71]Sincerely [14:01.35]Teacher Counsellor [14:04.59]Listening page 71 [14:09.16]Listen to this talk by school counsellor and complete the outline. [14:14.52]My name is Peter Smith I've been a school counsellor for about twelve years [14:22.56]It's my pleasure today, [14:26.40]to tell you a little bit about school counseling at the secondary level. [14:32.15]For counsellors,there are two main areas it focus. [14:37.51]One is personal counseling and the other is academic counseling. [14:43.75]First of all,personal counseling, [14:47.82]counseling of this kind aims at helping students to work out the personal problems [14:54.67]if there are any. [14:57.31]Such as problems in their family life, [15:01.07]or in their relationship with others. [15:04.83]Programmes in smoking drunks,alcohol and driving [15:10.68]are also run prevent the students from getting it's certain problems. [15:16.25]Now,the second area is academic counseling, [15:21.21]which are something to do with their studies or the further schooling [15:26.67]If the students want to go for further study, [15:30.82]and counsellor made discuss with subjects, [15:34.97]and courses they should take and which they shouldn't. [15:39.94]or if they're interested in jobs, [15:44.09]and different kinds of work[15:47.62]and also job preparation programme to be discussed. [15:52.45]It is always school counsellor's responsibility [15:57.28]to give information and advice to students. [16:01.52] And to point out things they may not thought about before. [16:06.35]But decisions must be made by the students themselves. [16:11.08]In this way,all the students will be thinking, [16:15.75]and working very hard to solve own problem.
