UNIT 9: A FIRST-AID COURSE
*Tape transcript: 
This is the emergency room in a large hospital. A paramedic is wheeling a patient on a stretcher into the emergency room where a doctor is waiting to treat the patient. The patient doesn’t look well. His head is bandaged and his eyes are closed.
A nurse is pushing an empty wheelchair towards the exit. She is probably taking it to a patient in the ambulance.
The eye chart on the wall is used to check people’s eyesight. The chart consists of about 28 letters ranging in size from about 5 centimeters in height at the top of the chart to about 1 centimeter at the bottom.
A doctor is trying to weigh a crying baby on the scale. The baby’s mother is standing nearby. She’s trying to stop her child from crying.
The crutches, which are for someone with a broken leg, are leaning against the wall. 
UNIT 10 : RECYCLING
*Tape transcript: 
What type of garbage can you put in the compost?
Today I’m going to explain how to start a compost heap. First of all, you must use only vegetable matter includes tealeaves, egg shells – but wash the shells first – and tissues. Don’t use any meat or grain products because this attracts rats.
Where is the best place for a compost heap?
Find a place in your garden that gets a few hours of sunlight each day. Use pick or shovels to turn the compost regularly so it gets plenty of air.
Should you water the compost? 
The compost also needs moisture, but it will get this from condensation. Cover the heap with a sheet of strong plastic if weather is very wet.
How long does it take before you can use the compost?
Keep adding to the pile and after about six months, your compost will be ready to use as fertilizer.

Mrs. Brown: I’ll see you back at the hotel.
Shannon: How are you going to the pagoda, Mom?

	This flow chart shows how to get a drink from a machine. It shows that the first step is to find a machine. Next, ask yourself if you have the correct change. When the answer to this question is "yes", ask yourself what you want to drink. For example, lemon soda. Finally, insert the coins and press the button to choose the drink you want.

Papermaking is a simple process. The procedure is almost the same as it was 200 years ago. Look closely at this picture of an old papermaking machine. On the left is the pulp vat. Paper pulp was placed in the vat and mixed with a lot of water. The water was then drained and pulp fibers were poured out of the vat and onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor belttook them under the rollers. There were quite a lot of rollers as you can see. These rollers smoothed the fibers and pressed them dry. The finished paper was then put on a roll at the end.
You can see the roll of paper at the far right of the picture
