Unit 1 On the Street 15
A
mericans often have short conversations, called small talk, with strangers whom they meet
on the street. Such chats occur at bus stops, on buses, in elevators, while waiting in line
almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. These short verbal exchanges are a
way to say hi and express friendliness. They usually center on broad topics such as the weather,
customer service, movies or TV shows, or a particular consumer product. Personal questions about
money, family, religious beliefs or politics are off limits during these conversations. When making
small talk, its best to ask open-ended questions. For example, if you ask visitors whether they like
your city, they may say simply, Yes. But if you ask What do you think
of our city, they will have more freedom in how they answer. This
type of question also shows that you are interested in their
opinion. Usually, if you appear to be interested
in what people are saying, they feel more
comfortable talking with you.
Americans end many conversations with
the phrase Have a nice day or Have a good
day. Store clerks, especially, say this to
customers after purchases are made. Though
at first it might sound insincere, studies
have shown that it actually makes many
people feel better. It gives people a sense
that others care about them, rather than
ignoring them. The American greeting
How are you has a similar effect. Even
though the questioner does not really care
about the answer, simply asking the
question often raises the other persons
spirits.

Unit 2 At Home 25
M
any people in other countries have a misunderstanding about
American culture. They think that parents in the United States
kick their children out of their house when the latter turn eighteen,
and will not let them live at home again. Like every stereotype, this is only
partially true. While some parents insist that their children leave the nest
at eighteen, most are saddened to see their offspring go. Moreover, its
important to note that these young people rarely go grudgingly. The
majority of eighteen-year-olds are eager to fly the coop. Eighteen is
the age of legal adulthood in America, and these new adults are
anxious to spread their wings and soar on their own.
Traditionally, students get their first taste of freedom on
the university campus, their first step in becoming independent of
their parents. Those who dont go to college usually find jobs and
move into apartments. In many cases, their parents help them
along at first.
After graduation, students might return home for a short time.
Usually their parents welcome them back. As soon as they find a
job, however, they leave their parents behind again, this time for
good. It is unusual in the United States for adults to live with their
parents. Those who do, in fact, often have to endure teasing about
it from friends and colleagues. It is considered weak, a mark of
dependence, to be living with Mommy and Daddy once a person
has reached adulthood and started his or her own career.
Discussion Questions
1. When do you think a person becomes an adult?
Do other people in your class agree?
2. What does it mean to be an adult?
3. Is it unusual in your culture for grown children to live with their parents?
4. Did this passage change your perception of American culture? If so, how?

Unit 3 In the Classroom 35
Discussion Questions
1. Why do you think most American teachers are women?
2. What kinds of people become teachers in your country?
3. Does teaching deserve more respect than other professions?
4. What qualifications or characteristics should a good teacher have?
W
ho is teaching American students? Are most American teachers men or women? What
is the general educational level of these teachers? In the last few years, there has been
much research into these and other questions. Now there is a fairly clear picture of the
people who teach in Americas schools.
To begin with, 75% of all teachers in the United States are women. In addition, most American
teachers, both men and women, are in their forties, with an average age of forty-six. Out of all the races
in American society, these teachers are most likely to be white. There is a somewhat disproportional
number of minority teachers in comparison to their overall populations. For example, a survey
found that 9% of US teachers were African American, though the population of African Americans
is around 13%. Of course, America is a big place, so these teacher
averages would vary depending on locations, and there are probably
a variety of reasons why there arent more minority teachers.
The average American teacher has been teaching for fourteen
years, which indicates that, generally speaking, most teachers see
their job as a career, not just temporary work. This also suggests
that teachers are largely happy with their profession. A recent
study seems to confirm this, finding that two thirds said they
enjoyed their jobs.
As might be expected, teachers on average are more educated
than the general public, with sixteen years of formal education
as opposed to thirteen for ordinary people. Another perception
is that teachers in the US do not make much money. Though
many people might protest that teachers are underpaid, the
average income of American teachers comes to about
$43,000 a year, which is close to the average for all people
with bachelors degrees.

Making Reservations

Unit 4
Discussion Questions
1. How common is it in your country to make reservations for restaurants?
2. Do you like to spend time enjoying a meal at a restaurant, or do you like to eat up and leave as soon
as possible?
3. Can restaurants be romantic, or are they simply places to eat?
4. Are there kinds of food that taste better at restaurants than they are made at home?
I
n the United States, if you want to go to a restaurant, you usually do not have to make a
reservation. Most restaurants are rarely full, so it is perfectly acceptable to just go.
If a restaurant is full when you arrive, you can simply wait a short time until a table
becomes available. At regular restaurants, the only times reservations are necessary are
special occasions such as New Years Eve.
For certain kinds of restaurants, it is always necessary to make reservations.
This can be for several reasons. Some restaurants may serve special or very
sophisticated food that can only be prepared for a specified number of people
or that takes longer than usual to prepare. This means that the number of
people coming has to be known exactly. Some other restaurants are simply
very popular. Since so many people want to go there, reservations are the
only way to ensure that a table will be available. For some very popular or
elite restaurants, reservations must sometimes be made more than a month
in advance.
When making a reservation, you should say how many people are
coming, specify the time, and provide a name. It is important to be on
time for reservations. Being late or not coming at all can upset a restaurants
schedule, and other people who made reservations may be
inconvenienced. Therefore, it is always good
practice to inform a restaurant if
you are going to be late or have
to cancel your reservation.

Discussion Questions
1. What are the three types of stores?
2. If you are on a tight budget, which stores would you patronize?
3. What are some differences between malls and flea markets?
4. What types of stores are there in your country?
Which stores do you prefer to shop in?
T
here are many different types of shops in the United States; they can be divided into three
price ranges: inexpensive, middle, and expensive.
Inexpensive shops cater to the general public, and they include some store chains,
thrift stores, and flea markets. Some store chains, such as Kmart, offer goods at low prices. Thrift
stores, or second-hand shops, are generally cheaper than the store chains, but they have a much
smaller selection of goods. Second-hand shops offer items that have been previously owned or used
and are being resold. The prices in these stores may be negotiable, unlike in the store chains. Flea
markets are a collection of independent vendors who sell their wares in a designated area. The
vendors usually rent space in a warehouse or parking lot for a certain number of days or hours.
The goods at flea markets may be new or used, and the prices are usually negotiable.
Middle-priced stores usually have higher quality goods, but they are also more expensive. Mid-
range shopping centers include stores like Target and Fashion Bug. Shopping malls are a collection of
stores, usually inside a certain building or enclosed area. Unlike the flea market, mall vendors are
usually affiliated with a company, and they rent their space on a yearly contractual basis. Prices in
malls are fixed.
Expensive stores are generally specialty stores. They are devoted to very high quality or
unique products. Some shopping malls fall into the expensive price range as well. As
with the malls, the prices in these stores are not negotiable, although the service
and the quality of the goods are generally superior to those of other
stores.
Whatever your goals or price range, you can
probably find whatever youre looking for if
you ask around. You might end up
having to drive for a while to
get there, but thats half the
fun of shopping expeditions.
Be sure to bring a friend!

Unit 6 At the Airport 65
Discussion Questions
1. What is the busiest airport in your country? Why is it so busy?
2. Does your country use a hub system for its airports?
Or can people fly non-stop between most of your cities?
3. What are some types of jobs that are needed at airports?
4. How can airports help generate money for a city and a country?
A
tlanta is the 35
th
largest city in the United States. Its airport, however, is the busiest in the
world. In a typical year, almost 85 million passengers will pass through the airport, and
about 980,000 flights will take off and land. The airport is like a small city. It has more
than 200 shops and restaurants, and employs more than 55,000 people. There are 180 gates and
six concourses. Passengers can travel between concourses on the worlds largest automatic people
mover. This is like a moving sidewalk, on which people stand still while the sidewalk moves them
along. The airport people mover carries more than 60 million passengers each year.
Physically, the Atlanta airport is the third largest in the world, occupying about six million
square feet. Although the airport has many international flights, most of its business comes from
people traveling within the United States. Delta Air Lines uses Atlanta as its main hub. This means
that people flying to other American cities stop in Atlanta first. Then they transfer to connecting
flights. The Atlanta airport has more non-stop flights to more
places than any other airline hub. From Atlanta, passengers
can fly non-stop to more than 240 different destinations,
including 72 cities in 45 countries.
The Atlanta airport has five runways. It is one of
only a few airports at which three planes can land
at the same time. The airport generates more
than $6 billion a year for the state of
Georgia, and almost $20 billion a year for
the southeast region of America.

Discussion Questions

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!
