Paula: Hi, Leticia. It's Paula.

Leticia: Hi, Paula. How are you? Have you finished packing yet? Paula: Almost.

Leticia: You must be excited. When's your flight?

Paula: Tomorrow. At 9 a.m. Listen, Leticia, I need your help. Leticia: OK. What's up?

Paula: Well, as you know, I'm going on vacation for two weeks. Do you think you

could water my plants while I'm away?

Leticia: Sure. No problem.

Paula: Great. They need water twice a week. There's one plant in the bedroom

and one in the kitchen.

Leticia: OK--say, how about your dog? Should I feed her, too? Paula: No, that's OK. I?m putting her in a kennel.

Leticia: All right, then, I'll water your plants---and---oh, how about the mail?

Should I pick it up for you?

Paula: Actually, I've already asked the mailman to stop mail delivery. Thanks for asking, though.

Leticia: Well, have a great trip!

Paula: Thanks, Leticia. I really appreciate your help.

Leticia: My pleasure. Wait a second. I don t have any keys to your place. Paula: Oh, that's right. Will you be home around 8 tonight? Leticia: Yeah, I think so.

W: Wow, Jun, you look relaxed! Did you enjoy the long weekend? J: I sure did actually. Actually I took a big trip. W: Over the weekend? We only had three days off! J: Yep! But I visited four countries in three days! W: What?!

J: I love to fly! You might say I?m an airplane freak! W: That?s interesting. Where did you go?

J: I visited Korea, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines. W: Sounds like you were busy.

J: I was. I only had only four hours in so. So I have to finish my shopping very quickly. Sometimes I had to run between connecting flights.

W: Wait a minute. What about your baggage? Didn?t you have to wait for it?

J: No, I didn?t have much, only one carry-on bag, it just fits the overhead compartment.

W: So let me get this straight. You spent your weekend in an airplane flying around?

J: Basically yes. I fly standby. W: Standby?

J: Yes, as a standby passenger. I don?t have a reservation. At the last minute, they let me know if there?s a seat available. They give me a boarding pass and I get on.

W: All these flying must be expensive.

J: Well, I?m an airline employee. I?m a sales representative for Twin Star Airlines. So I know most of the flight attendants and I can almost fly for free. W: Lucky you!

S: Yes I did. And I paid the bills too.

J: Well, I changed our voice mail message and I confirmed all of our flights.

S: Great! Let?s remember to give the house keys to Mr. Jacobsen so he can come in and water our plants.

J: This afternoon I have to stop the mail delivery at the post office. S: And could you please take the dog to kennel? J: No, I hate that. He always looks so scared.

S: And this time let?s remember to empty the trash before we leave.

J: And we?ll give away all the fresh food. Last year there were black tomatoes and green meat in our refrigerator after our vacation. S: I made a note to myself unplug the computer.

J: And I promised to turn off all the lights. The electric bill was terrible last time. S: Maybe we should write a list, they may be used again on our next vacation.

Tips for better packing

Are you planning to travel for a weekend or several months around the country or overseas? Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.

1. Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal it about a week before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Don?t pack the night before you travel. You?ll forget things when you?re in a hurry.

2. Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items like cameras and cellphones. Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel?s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.

3. Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses the empty space and helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you?re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.

4. Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, traveler?s checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.

5. Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub of bans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don?t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.

Going solo is the way to go!

How do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined \solo\In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.

You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.

There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing,

or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!

You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to \college\at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can \scientist\for a week or two while you help someone with their project.

For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.

The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo? Bon voyage!

Listen to three people talk…

1. Eduardo: Hi, I?m Eduardo. I got accepted to college recently. Since the school is just in my neighborhood, I?m going to live at home. I?ll not apply for a scholarship because it?s too hard to get it. I think I?ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is very important though it?s not everything. So most probably I?ll study business, I hope I can make it big after my graduation.

2.Jill: I?m Jill, I?m going to join a sorority, I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united should always help each other. I?m going to volunteer work in my spare time to help those old-aged ladies in the community with their errands. I?m not going to a large university since I can?t afford it.

3.Max and Sara: I?m Max and this is Sara. We love each other, we?re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a mid-sized apartment not far away from the university. We?re going to study together and work part-time.

That?s why I choose the major in life-long education. Personally I?m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now I?m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I?m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad. I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I?m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later I?ll have my own children. I?ll most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.

Jameela: I work so hard for four years. I need a break now. I majored in biology and chemistry and I had a summer job in a day-care center. I?m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in west Africa. I?ll be a doctor someday, but I?m not sure what kind of doctor I?ll be.

Jennie: I study business and it?s easy for me to find a job. Next month I?ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don?t really want to spend my whole life working for a company. I hope I can start my own business, maybe something with food. I love cooking, in college I cook dinner for roommate every night.

Shane: Wow, four years really went fast. I can?t believe it?s graduation day. My major was computer science but I spent all of my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies next week. I?m not worried about getting a job but I really want to play music too, that?s my biggest dream.

Interviewer: Do you have any international travel experience?

Stephanie Lee: Yes, I do. Tokyo years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China, I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.

Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?

Stephanie Lee: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don't get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight

Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn't pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?

Stephanie Lee: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately I saved a lot of money, so I won't have to worry about money for my trip to Europe.

Interviewer: Why should we choose you?

Stephanie Lee: Because I love to travel! I'm a hard worker and will have no trouble filing reports on time-and I have a lot of energy!

event, skaters do tricks in a half pipe. They try to fly high in the air and spin. Fabiola competes in both events. She has been skating for years and she has always dominated the women's events.

Fabiola would like to see more women in the X Games, but she's not afraid of the guys. Ever since she received her first pair of skates at the age of 12, she's played with boys. Now she skates in competitions with them and she beats many of them. Fabiola's mother was a housekeeper. It was hard, but she saved her money to buy Fabiola's skates. It was a good investment. Fabiola has traveled abroad for events and become famous in the skating world.

Success hasn't gone to her head, though. She's a typical young woman of the world: She has a boyfriend likes to listen to rock music, and prefers health}- foods. She doesn't seem to care much about the attention she gets.

Tattoos may appeal to some young people for varies reasons. But pause risks to them at the same time. There’re many side of faces to getting a tattoo. For one thing, using unclean needles that are not ??? properly for tattoos may lead to contracting diseases, such as HIV. Tattoos, also look very unprofessional, if a student walks into an interview with a tattoo on his or her neck, it may lower the chances they getting the job. Some people even think tattoos are disgusting. Tattoos may also be particularly unattractive and ugly looking on females. Besides, tattoos are permanent and are not easy to get rid of. When they get old, the tattoos look like a mess. So no matter what reasons they might be for getting a tattoo, young people must always remember the consequences and risks. They shouldn’t get one unless they really want to keep it on their body forever and are willing to live with the consequences.

Rachel Levine: I’m Rachel Levine, I’m a psychologist. In my view, the internet has caused problems in dating. Some people think internet will help him find love a lot faster, but even you had a great relationship online, you still have to meet face to face. And then, the relationship often doesn’t work.

Carman Torres: I’m Carman Torres, I’m 26 years old. I think high-tech dating doesn’t work because you can’t really judge things like looks, personality and sincerity online. On the computer a person can tell you all of their great qualities and leave out the bad points. So you can waste a lot of time meeting guys that you really don’t get along with.

Tina Gunderson: I’m Tina Gunderson, I’m 29 years old. I know internet dating is really popular, but I’ve never tried it. I think the best way to meet a boyfriend is at your job. You can get to know a person very well in a relaxed way. But don’t plusher, because you’re not dating. You can learn about his personality because you spend a lot of time together. You’ll find out about his family, interests and his sense of humor. Best of all, you can ask other people’s opinions about him and get advice from your friends. You can’t get all of this online.

Interviewer: How did you recently try to meet someone, Deepak? Deepak: I went to a \table. Boys sit on one side and girls sit on the other. You talk to the person sitting across from you. After three minutes a bell rings, and you move on to the next person. You check off the names of the people you like. It was fun, but three minutes is too short! I didn't make any matches.

Interviewer: How would you like to meet someone?

Deepak: I'd like to have someone introduce me to a nice girl. I don't like casual dating. Maybe I'm too traditional, but that's how I am. Interviewer: How did you recently trying to meet someone, Nina? Nina: I grew up in a small town before I moved to the big city. Back home, there was a guy I was attracted to, but I never talked to him. Recently, I've tried to meet men here, but I'm still too shy! Interviewer: How would you like to meet someone?

Nina: It's more relaxing to go out in a big group. I want to meet someone when I'm out with a group of friends. That feels more natural and not so stressful.

Interviewer: How did you recently try to meet someone, Kaleo?

Kaleo: I met a woman at work. I asked her out, but it caused problems. I need to find a new place for meeting women. Interviewer: How would you like to meet someone?

Kaleo: Of course, looks are important, but I want to meet someone with common interests. I love waterskiing and surfing. My friend says that Internet dating is fun. You can read all about the other person before you contact her. That might work for me.

Interviewer: How did you recently try to meet someone, Fumiko? Fumiko: I went to a kind of \number of boys and girls at the party. It's not very romantic. And when I attended, the drinks were very expensive. Interviewer: How would you like to meet someone?

Fumiko: I'd like to meet someone by myself in a romantic way. Imagine this: There is a huge rainstorm. A handsome stranger shares his umbrella with you. You and he fall in love. I know it sounds crazy, but that's my fantasy.
