[01:56.51]Ian [02:04.58]June 14th is a big day for me [02:09.72]because it's the anniversary of the day I finally stopped smoking! [02:15.60]When people ask when I gave up,I always say'June 14th 2001' [02:23.75]not just'2001'or 'a few years ago',but the exact date. [02:30.88]It took me so many years to finally stop that I'll never forget that day. [02:37.75]Murdo [02:41.10]June 21st is a big day for me because it's the longest day of the year. [02:48.46]Where I live,in the north of Scotland,the light changes a lot during the year. [02:55.62]The winters are very dark,and summer days go on for ever. [03:02.10]In summer,the sun sets at aobut half past ten at night, [03:09.26]but it never really gets dark before the sun rises again at four. [03:15.00]It feels really special, [03:19.44]watching the sun come up on the longest day,but it's also a bit depressing. [03:26.81]Even though you know that July and August will be warmer, [03:32.38]you also know the days will be getting shorter, [03:37.94]and you've started the long journey back to winter and the endless cold dark days. [03:46.48]Alison [03:49.04]December 8th is important to me [03:53.51]because it's the anniversary of the day John Lennon was shot in New York. [03:59.36]I grew up listening to The Beatles and my dad loved them too. [04:05.13]I can still remember coming home from school that day [04:10.17]and finding my dad sitting in the kitchen,crying like a baby. [04:15.84]I started crying too,and every year on December 8th [04:21.59]I always listen to lots of Beatles songs and John Lennon songs. [04:27.05]Shinj [04:30.00]March 14th is quite a big day in Japan. [04:34.96]We call it White Day. [04:38.52]It's exactly a month after Valentine's Day and in Japan,on Valentine's Day, [04:45.88]women give men chocolates. [04:49.96]On White Day,men return the favour. [04:55.11]Women have become very clever about this, [05:00.28]and often buy tiny little chocolates and give a few out to lots of people. [05:07.54]We call this'duty chocolate'. [05:11.98]They then hope they get bigger,better presents back on White Day! [05:18.46]Maria [05:21.70]An important date in Italy is 25th April. [05:28.36]We call it Liberation Day and every year on this day [05:34.32]we celebrate the end of the Second World War in Italy. [05:39.36]Nick [05:42.73]There are two dates that are more important for me than any others. [05:47.77]October 5th is the birthday of my son,Lewis, [05:52.94]and on that day in the year 2000 I became a father for the first time. [05:59.29]Also,December 10th-it's my daughter Sam's birthday. [06:05.77]She was born in 2002. [06:09.71]I'll never forget those dates for as long as I live. [06:14.18]2 Pronunciation:linking [06:48.95]4 Listening [06:55.95]Conversation 1 [06:59.21]I think it was about three or four months ago,but it grows really quickly. [07:07.08]I can see that-and it's really thick as well,isn't it? [07:13.24]I'll need to give it a wash.OK.Fine. [07:17.89]So what do you want done to it? [07:22.02]I'd basically just like it cut a little bit. [07:28.08]Just take a little bit off all round,please,and tidy it up. [07:33.96]I'll see what I can do. [07:37.80]Conversation 2 [07:41.56]It was so long ago,I can't remeber! [07:46.81]That's why I really need to get some new things tomorrow. [07:52.27]Yes,those jeans do look a bit old. [07:56.94]I know! And this shirt is quite old as well. [08:01.80]So where are you thinking of going,then?Any idea? [08:06.24]Well,I thought I might try the High Street. [08:11.10]There's a sale on at the department store there at the moment, [08:16.46]so I might be able to find some cheap trousers or a jacket or something. [08:22.62]Conversation 3 [08:26.28]It was ages ago! That's why I'm not really looking forward to going tomorrow. [08:34.04]I'm sure he's going to tell me I have to have a tooth taken out. [08:39.81]I've had really bad toothache for the last two or three weeks. [08:46.47]Really? That sounds awfukl. [08:50.52]Are your teeth really that bad? [08:54.18]They're terrible!I've got about ten fillings. [08:59.85]I eat too many sweets and don't really look after my teeth very well. [09:06.01]Conversation 4 [09:09.56]It was five years ago.Just after I graduated from university, [09:16.51]before I started working. [09:20.17]Wow!That's ages ago.How did you go so long without one? [09:27.43]I don't know. [09:30.31]I started working here and then suddenly five years went past without me taking a break. [09:37.57]I've just beenso busy. [09:41.02]Yes.I know the prblem. [09:45.25]Anyway,that's why I'm really looking forward to going away next week. [09:51.28]I really need some time on my own,so I can just lie around and do nothing. [09:59.01]I'm sure you'll have a great time. [10:03.27]Conversation 5 [10:07.24]It was last Christmas. [10:10.69]They rented a house out in the countryside [10:15.34]and the whole family stayed there for a few days. [10:19.91]It was lovely. [10:23.07]Wow.That sounds great. [10:27.23]So does that mean they haven't met your new girlfriend yet,then? [10:32.58]No,they haven't. [10:36.03]That's why I'm a bit nervous about them coming down to our flat for the holidays. [10:41.91]I'm not sure what they'll think of her. [10:45.85]Oh,don't worry aobut it.I'm sure they'll her.She's realy nice and friendly. [10:52.72]Conversation 6 [10:56.56]It was nearly 20 years ago,just before I left school. [11:02.44]I took three when I was 17 and failed them all, [11:07.59]so I'm notreally looking forward to the one tomorrow. [11:12.44]Don't worry about it.I'm sure it'll be OK. [11:17.72]You've done really well this term,haven't you? [11:22.27]I suppose so.I'm probably just worrying about nothing. [11:28.12]Maybe,but it's only natural to feel like that. [11:33.39]It's perfactly normal to get a bit nervous before something like this!
