Unit 7
Discussion Questions
1. How do people usually get to work in your city?
2. Which kinds of public transportation does your city have?
Which do you like best?
3. What are some ways you can think of that would increase the
use of public transportation and decrease the use of cars?
4. What did you learn about New York from the cultural reading?
B
esides being the largest and most famous American city, New York bears another important
distinction. It is the mass-transit capital of the United States. More people use public
transportation in New York than in any other US city. In fact, more than half of all New
York households do not even own a car. Instead, they get around town via the subway, bus, taxi,
commuter railand even an aerial tramway.
Most New Yorkers ride on some sort of railroad track. It is estimated that about two-thirds
of all Americans who ride rails live in New York or its suburbs. The city boasts the worlds largest
subway system, with more than 650 miles of tracks and twenty-six different subway lines. Each
weekday, almost five million people commute to work on the subway, and residents rely on it so
much that it operates all day and night. New York also has an extensive system of above-ground
trains. These provide links to three major airports, the neighboring states of New Jersey and
Connecticut, and other major cities along the East Coast of the United States. The train tracks
converge at Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal, the two busiest train stations in the United
States.
In addition to trains, New York has almost 6,000 buses, which carry about two million riders
a day. The city has Americas largest number of clean air buses, which use fuels such as diesel and
natural gas. Some New Yorkers take a unique commute to work: they ride in a
tram car high above the East River. With such a variety of public transportation
options available, it should come as no surprise that most New
Yorkers dont buy cars.

Discussion Questions
1. Where do most people stay when they visit the United States?
2. Where do many business people stay when they visit the United States?
3. What are some differences between motels and hotels?
4. Where would you rather stay? At a friends house,
a hotel, or a motel? Why?
T
here are many places to stay in the United States when traveling or sightseeing.
Most people usually choose to stay with family or friends, since it is inexpensive
and safer. However, if you dont have any relations in the United States, there
are a few places where you can stay.
The most common place to stay is a hotel. Hotels are very popular among business
travelers, since they are very pleasant and have excellent services. A hotel is usually
housed in a very large, comfortable building with many guest rooms. You usually need
a reservation to stay at a hotel. While there are several different kinds of hotels, most
hotel rooms have at least one bed, a desk, a TV, and an adjoining private bathroom.
Average hotel rooms tend to cost between $90 and $200 per night, depending on the
type of room and the length of your stay. Hotels usually provide free toiletries in the
room as well, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, a comb, soap, and
shampoo. Stationery such as pencils, pens, and paper is commonly supplied, too.
If you need anything else, you can always call the front desk and make a special
request for it.
The other common place to stay is a motel. Motels are hotels for people who
drive. (The word motel comes from motor and hotel.) Motels are smaller,
cheaper versions of hotels, and you usually do not need a reservation to stay
there. They are usually located along highways or other high traffic areas. The
room rate for motels is about $50 per night. Motels do not usually provide
many of the free toiletries and services found at the more expensive hotels.

Unit 9 On the Telephone 95
Discussion Questions
1. Why do people go to expensive restaurants?
2. What type of information should you have in mind before
you call the restaurant?
3. Why should you have an alternative schedule in mind?
4. Is it common in your country to make advance reservations?
How many days should you call in advance?
A
meal at an expensive restaurant is a popular and pleasant way to entertain guests, clients,
or someone special. It shows people that you care about them, and that you are interested
in their comfort and well-being. Many expensive restaurants require that you make reservations
in advance so that they can plan for your party. (Party here refers to a group of people. For
example, you may hear the waiter say party of two, meaning there are two people for a table.)
When you call the restaurant, you should have a date and time in mind, and should call about
one week in advance of the reservation date. You should also know how many people are coming
to eat. If you are planning a gathering for a Friday or Saturday night, you may need to keep an
alternative time or date in mind, just in case all the tables have already been reserved by other parties.
It is also good to have an idea of which seating area you are looking forsmoking or non-smoking.
For example:
Host Embassy Restaurant, how may I help you?
Mary I would like to make a reservation for next Friday night
at 7 p.m., party of two, non-smoking.
Host Im sorry, but we dont have an opening until 9 p.m.
Would you like to change it to 9 p.m.? I also have openings
on that Saturday night at 7 p.m.
Mary No, Friday at 9 p.m. is fine.
Host Very good. Your last name, please?
Usually the host will repeat all the information you have given in order to
confirm that it is correct.

Discussion Questions
1. Do you think it is good to pay for purchases by check?
2. How are checks used in your country? If your country does not have checks, do you think they would
be a good idea for your country?
3. Which check payment system do you think is better, the one in the United States or that in England?
4. If you have a choice, would you pay by cash or by check?
C
hecks are used all over the
world in many different
ways. In the United States,
many people have personal check
books and pay for their groceries at
shops and supermarkets by check.
Sometimes shops encounter problems
with these checks, when there isnt
enough money in the customers
bank account and the check bounces.
This means that the check is not
accepted by the bank and is returned
to the shop. The shops dont get their money, so
they wait a little while and then try again, hoping that this
time there will be enough money in the account. Having checks bounced
isnt good for the customer who issued the check either; because each time the bank
bounces the check, it will charge the customer a fine, which could mean a lot of money if the shop
continues to submit the check for payment. The final outcome could be that the shop doesnt get
its money and the customer receives a lot of fines.
In England, shops are protected from bounced checks. Nearly everyone who has a personal
check book also has a bank debit card that serves as a check guarantee card. This is the same card
that you would use to pay for goods and services or withdraw money from the ATM. This card
will guarantee a check up to a certain amount, and the bank will give the shop the money even if
there isnt any money in the customers bank account.

Discussion Questions
1. How are CVs written in your country?
2. What other information do you think should be added to a CV?
3. With this other information, how do you think someones chance
of getting a job will increase?
4. If you have to write a CV for yourself, what would you put in it? Now consider
it from the employers position. What would you look for?
C
Vs and rsums are both the same. CV is short for curriculum vitae, which is Latin for
a timetable of life, and rsum is French for a summary. Both refer to a document
which will tell potential employers all about you and what you have done so far in your
life.
The first part of the CV contains personal information such as your full name, date of birth,
nationality, and address. Some companies may require other personal details. Following this is the
section which will show all your educational history, with details of your high school and university
or college education. Potential employers will look at what you have studied because this will help
them to decide whether or not you would be suitable for the position you are applying for.
Another very important section details your work experience, showing where you have worked
in the past, what you did at those companies, and how long you were there. A lot of human
resource managers like to know why you left your previous jobs because they want to see if you
are the type of person who will stay at a company for a long time or if you are someone who moves
around a lot.
It is very important that a CV is prepared on the computer and presented in a
neat and clear format. You can guarantee not to get a job if you send
a CV handwritten, because this will be seen as being
highly unprofessional. A CV with too
many errors might also cause it to be
rejected. Finally, CVs should be brief
because potential employers may have
received hundreds of CVs and wont have
time to go through all of them, so keeping it
brief will increase the chance that it is read.

Discussion Questions
1. What types of medication can you get without a prescription in your country?
2. Is it easy to get prescription medication without having a prescription in your country?
3. Do you think pharmacies in your country should give more information about
non-prescription medications when selling them?
4. Do you have to pay for the prescription in your country?
P
rescription medications are drugs which can be bought at pharmacies but only with
authorization from the doctor. This is because prescribed medicines are often potent and can
be very dangerous for people who do not have the illness for which a drug is meant to treat.
Also, a doctor may prescribe a certain medicine instead of another medicine for treating the same
illness because of the patients unique health concerns. For example, someone who takes another
persons prescribed medication could suffer a serious allergic reaction or some other undesirable
side effect. Furthermore, some medicines are addictive, and requiring a prescription helps to limit
their abuse.
In contrast, non-prescription medicine (or over-the-counter medicine) can be bought freely
without a doctors authorization. However, these medications may not be as strong as those which
are prescribed. They might give you temporary relief from the symptoms but not actually treat your
illness. Another problem which often comes up with the use of non-prescription medications is that
they can produce side effects such as drowsiness that you are
not aware of. With prescribed medication, the doctor will
always tell you what side effects you could experience,
especially if they may affect your daily routine. This
can be very important to know if your job involves
a lot of driving or handling heavy machinery.
The United States is very strict about
drug sale, and a pharmacy will never sell
prescription medication if you do not
have a valid prescription. If the doctor
made a mistake writing one, the pharmacy
will ask you to take it back to the doctor
to have a new one written up. No exceptions
are made!
