M:Now we have our own home theatre! Look! The screen is as big as our wall!

W:Hey,how did you do that?

M:I just bought a piece of equipment that is connected to the computer or TV…or even a smart phone! I can play anything I want,like a movie or a TV show.Then,this equipment makes the images present on the wall,just like when you go to the movies.

W:Well,it’s not the same.

M:You’re right.But it isn’t bad,and when I set up my new speaker system…

W:Umm,you bought a set of speakers,too?

M:Of course!You’re going to love it!

W:What a great shot!

M:Who’s playing tonight?

W:Playing?I’m watching a TV documentary about nature photography.

M:What does that have to do with basketball?

W:It doesn’t.I was commenting on the picture.It’s a photo of a lion jumping.

M:OK,I like lions,but what’s so impressive about that?

W:Well,the photographer was in the path of a running lion when it rushed out of the bushes.The photographer fell onto the ground on his back,and the lion jumped right over him.It was chasing a zebra,and the photographer…

M:Shot the lion with a gun?

W:No! He took a picture really quickly as the lion jumped over him.That’s what I meant by “great shot”.

M:I’m surprised the guy wasn’t attacked!

W:He was lucky for being alive,and for taking the photo of the year!

M:We’re in business! I can’t believe we waited so long to open our own store.This is great,isn’t it?I hope we can get a lot of customers.

W:I still think we should hire someone to advertise for us.

M:I’ve been considering what to do about that,Laura.There should be an easier and cheaper way.I don’t like traditional advertising anyway.Since our store is online,the first thing we could do is to send an email to all of our friends and family.We’ll include the link to our website.They can share information about our new store on Facebook,Instagram,and Twitter.

W:That’s a great idea! The more young people we tell,the better.People between 15 and 30 years old usually have a large network of friends.

M:Yeah,but I’ve noticed that our age group uses social media a lot,too.And our store mainly sells things that people from 45 to 60 would use,like products to make people look younger.

W:Maybe we should send some emails to our old school friends.By now,many of them should have a lot of business associates and friends.

W:Mark,you work at a hospital,right?

M:No,I don’t.It’s my brother Mike that works at a hospital.He looks after patients there.I teach English at a school.

W:So what skills do you need for your profession,aside from(除了) English language skills?

M:First,I need interpersonal communication skills.Because teaching is all about teaching other people.I also need to have great organizational skills to organize materials,the classes,the student assignments and so on and so forth.Also having some leadership skills is also important.

W:So which of the three are you best at?

M:It’s the first.

W:How do you recommend that people develop their teaching skills?Is there a good resource for developing these skills?

M:The best resource is feedback from colleagues.I like listening to my colleagues for advice.Also,one should attend conferences in the field,read books about teaching and try out new things.I spend most of my leisure time reading.

W:So why did you become a teacher in the first place?

M:It’s because I really loved teaching.Though there is a huge amount of work for me every week,I enjoy my work.

W:So how long have you been teaching?

M:I’m thirty-eight now,which means I’ve been teaching for ten years.

This is Britain’s Daily News at 10:00.I’m Mark O’Reilly,and we’re starting off with a story from Iran.A team of engineers there have created an exact copy of a Lamborghini.For the past four years,the leader and designer Masoud Moradi has led his creative group through the research,design,modeling and production stages of the project.The final product is a perfect copy of the Italian expensive car.At a presentation in the Iranian city of Tabriz,the audience were treated to the sight of the flashy yellow race car.In Moradi’s speech,he explained that his team had chosen a unique model of a superior brand.In building the car,they tried to recreate the main features and even the simplest details of the original model.They did it and he said,“We believe that our team can produce one of the best cars in the world…” The main goal was to gain the technical knowledge and methods for making super sports cars.Since they have accomplished this,the next step is to produce Iranian-made expensive sports cars.It may take a while for mass production of such cars—but if the enthusiasm of the crowd is any indication,there will certainly be enough buyers!
