Pay attention to the common emotive language signals when conducting an interview.Step 1: asking about life in the past:1. Now, lets listen to a conversation of an interview and finish Part A on Page 10.TapescriptStudent: Do you think that our town has changed over the years, Grandfather?Grandfather: Yes, of course. There have been a lot of changes.Student: Can you give me an example?Grandfather: Well, the way that I go from one place to another has changed. When I was younger, I walked or rode my bike to school. I remember that my hands and feet were as cold as ice in winter. Now, I take buses and taxis because my legs are weak. I feel like I could sleep for a hundred years after I walk long distances now.Student: What were the buildings like?Grandfather: In the past, there werent as many buildings as there are now, and they werent very tall. The town had a lot of small houses and just a few shops. Wangji Shoe Shop has been there since I was a child.Student: What was the biggest building back then?Grandfather: I suppose it was the school.Student: What do you think about the buildings today?Grandfather: We have more and more tall buildings today. I like the changes because they show our towns growth and development. My favourite building is the new department store. Its as big as a mountain and is a wonderful place to shop. Its far bigger than the old school.Student: What kind of jobs did people have here?Grandfather: A lot of people were involved in the fishing industry, and I was, too. Did I tell you? I once caught a fish as big as a whale!Student: Is the fishing industry still big here?Grandfather: Its not so big any more, but the tourism industry is growing. A lot of new restaurants have also opened, and the catering industry is doing well.Student: What about the environment? Has it been affected by development?Grandfather: I remember the fresh air and blue sky of my youth, but today, the environment is in a terrible state. The sea is full of rubbish and the air is polluted. Its awful.Student: Grandfather, do you think that the changes in the town have been good?Grandfather: I think that most of the changes are good. We must be careful, though, to develop our town while also taking care of the environment.

Now listen to the monologue in Part C and take notes on the note.TapescriptGrandfather: Yes, I remember now. This newspaper report is about the shopping centre that opened near Shells Beach when I was a young man. The centre is still there today. It was a very good idea, if you ask me. It created jobs for many people at the time. It allowed many new restaurants to open, which was good for people working in the catering industry. My favourite restaurant was a seafood restaurant on the top floor, but it is no longer there. My friend Gao Dahai, a famous seafood chef, used to work there, and my younger cousin worked as a waiter there. Another good thing about the shopping centre was that they opened several clothing shops that sold things made by local designers. Your grandmother Fang Yi used to design belts and handkerchiefs for one of them. She once forced me to be a model for a fashion show raising money for a local charity! I also remember going to a local book club at the Bookworm Bookshop in the shopping centre. Authors from around the area used to sign their books for readers. I think that this shopping centre also helped support the publishing industry a lot. Although there were only a few travel agencies, a tourist information office opened soon after the grand opening of the shopping centre. That was good because many tourists came to visit, and the tourism industry in the town has developed a lot since then.More than anything else, I remember how this shopping centre helped people in the area, and it became my favourite place in town. It was wonderful.AnswersC (1) seafood (2) top floor (3) waiters (4) designers (5) local charity (6) book club (7) travel agencies (8) a tourist information office(1) shopping centre (2) catering(3) Seafood (4) chef(5) waiters (6) fashion(7) charity(8) authors(9) publishing(10) tourist(11) tourismSkills building 2:discussing the probability of the future1.Group work: Discussion: What will the world be like in a hundred years?2.
