Listening Practice 1

Mr. Maguire: OK, everyone. Take out your pens and pencils. You need to write this down.

Kelly: Yes, Mr. Maguire

Mr. Maguire: All of next week, we are going to be giving presentations on role models. I need you to write a 3-page paper about someone who is a role model in your life, and present it in class.

Kelly: What is a role model?

Mr. Maguire: A role model is someone who you respect and want to be like. For example, a prominent sports player, movie star, or successful businessman.

Sam: Does it have to be someone famous? I was thinking of writing about my dad.

Mr. Maguire: Of course not! A parent or older sibling would be a great choice. My role model when I was your age was my dad too.

James: How long should the presentation be?

Mr. Maguire: Around 10-15 minutes long.

Listening Practice 3

Hello, class. My name is Suzy Kim. Today, I am going to give a presentation on my role model. Thank you for coming, and I hope you enjoy my presentation. My role model is my older cousin Veronica. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always admired Veronica. Why? To start with, everyone at school knows her and wants to be her friend. That is because she is very friendly and kind. Veronica is also really smart. She gets really good grades and is going to a famous university next year to study engineering. If that wasn’t enough, Veronica has the coolest clothes. All my friends say she has the best fashion sense. And, of course, Veronica is very pretty. All the boys at school want to go on dates with her. She must be the prettiest girl at our school! I hope when I get older, I can be just like Veronica. It is all I want in the whole world.
