IEC Week of September 3/4. Unit 14

some of the sounds humans make:

barf burp cackle clap cheer cough hiccup hiss hum gargle gasp giggle groan gurgle laugh snore moan pant scream shout sigh sneeze sniff wheeze whisper whistle yell yawn
SCRIPT:

J=Jason, M=Maria , S=Steve

J: This is Jason Miller and you’re listening to XRT at 96.3 FM., and it’s time for our contest "What’s that Job?" You’ll hear someone doing their job. Guess which job it is, and you’ll win two movie tickets. Let’s go to Maria on line one. Hello, Maria. Are you ready to play?

M= Yes, Jason, I think so.

J: Then listen.

M: Well, the person is somewhere noisy. I hear people walking and someone shouting. The person might work in a train station or an airport. Can I hear a bit more, Jason?

J: OK.

M: Well, I heard traffic and a whistle. The person is definitely outside somewhere. He might be in a car… but he can’t be a taxi driver because people don’t drop coins in a machine to pay a taxi driver. I think the person must be a bus driver.

J: That’s right. A bus driver. Excellent, Maria. You’ve won two tickets to the movies.Now, let’s go to Steve on line two. This one is a bit more difficult, Steve. Are you ready?

S: Yeah, I’m ready.

J: OK. Listen to this and tell me what this person’s job is.

S: Well, I hear cheering and clapping, so he could be a lot of things. He might be an actor in a theater. He might be a musician at a concert, or maybe a golfer. Hmm… He playcan’t be a basketball er – it’s noisier than that at a basketball game.

J: You’re close. Listen some more.

S: Well, he must be playing some kind of sport. Is he a volleyball player?J: No, sorry, Steve. Time’s up. Let’s listen to the whole sequence.……He’s not a volleyball player. He’s a tennis player. Sorry, no movie tickets this time, Steve. OK, We’ll play more of "What’s that Job?" Again a little bit later, but right now it’s time for the latest weather and traffic report. Remember, this is 96.3….
