Mother: Nancy, you've been home from school for three days now. Why don't you clean up your room?

Nancy: We don't have to clean up our rooms at school.

Mother: That's all very well, Nancy. But while you're at home, your Dad and I would like you to keep your room clean.

Nancy: What difference does it make? It's my room.

Mother: That's as may be, but you might give a thought to your father. He's frightened to death of

the plague and now says if it is going to start anywhere in the country, it's going to start in your room.

Nancy: Mother, you people aren't interested in anything that's relevant. Do you realize how the major corporations are polluting our environment?

Mother: Your father and I are very worried about it. But right now we're more concerned with the pollution in your room.

Nancy: For heaven's sake, Mother, I'm grown up now. Why do you have to treat me like a child? Mother: We're not treating you like a child. But it's very hard for us to think of you as an adult when

you go round throwing all your clothes on the floor.

Part I Pre-Reading Task Script for the recording:

When an idle moment turned up at work, people used to reach for the newspaper, providing the boss wasn't looking. Nowadays they are more likely to spend their spare moments surfing the Internet. Needless to say, the boss is usually no more happier than before, thinking that his staff

should be looking for some useful work to do. So what happens to the surfer who hears the boss's footsteps approaching? This is the situation the writer of the poem you are about to hear found himself in. Will he be caught in the act?

Surfing the Internet

So I think I'm in the clear Because the boss is nowhere in sight. I log onto the web and start to surf And then my hair stands up with fright.

The footsteps coming down the hall Are quickening in pace. There is no time to exit, No way to save my race.

-So I press the power button And relax just a bit. There is no way he can tell
