Listening Practice 4

Mom: Hey, Tony. Welcome home from your first day of middle school! Are you OK? You look miserable.

Tony: Mom, today was, by far, the worst day of my life!

Mom: Oh, no! What happened, dear?

Tony: Well, first, I couldn’t find my classroom. When I did find it, I was 20 minutes late. All the kids made fun of me.

Mom: That happens to a lot of people, don’t worry.

Tony: Oh, no. That is just the beginning. Then, at lunch, I spilled milk all over my pants. It was so embarrassing!

Mom: Oh, I am sure it was not that bad.

Tony: Wait! Then, after school, I could not find my bus. The bus left without me, and I had to ask my teacher to drive me home. She must think I am a total idiot!

Mom: Tony, just relax. Everyone will forget what happened in a week.

Tony: I won’t! I will remember this day for the rest of my life!

Unit 20

Listening Practice 1

Tom: Ugh! I hate this thing!

Wendy: You hate what, Tom? Just calm down.

Tom: Sorry, Wendy. I am upset about this paper our teacher is making us write.

Wendy: What is the paper about?

Tom: We have to write about our short-term plans and long-term plans.

Wendy: Oh. Well, what are your short-term and long-term plans?

Tom: I don’t have any. That is the problem.

Wendy: Oh, come on! I am sure you have at least one short-term plan and one long-term plan.

Tom: No, I have never really thought about future plans. Well, what are yours?

Wendy: My long-term plan is to become a famous children’s book writer. And my short-term plan is to read as many books as possible this summer. Don’t you have something you want to do in the future, Tom?

Tom: Well, I kind of want to be a baseball player when I grow up.

Wendy: Perfect! Put that as your long-term plan.

Tom: And I guess I would like to get a job this summer to earn some money.

Wendy: Then put that as your short-term plan. See, that was easy.

Tom: Yeah, I guess it was.
