Sounds like you have a budget problem
Tim: Hi, Carina. You look upset. What up?
Carina: Well. I’m trying to finger out where all my money has gone.
Tim: You’ve lost your money? Was there a burglary at your place?
No, no. I seem to have spent all my allowance for this month. Now I don't even have money to go out and eat.
Tim: Hey, I thought you had a good part-time job at the mall.
Carina: I do. I work about twenty hours a week, and the pay’s not bad, nine dollars and fifty cents an hour.
Tim: Really? So that’s, what, a hundred and sixty dollars a month. Hey, that’s not a bad income for student.
Carina: I know. And my parents send me 250 dollars a month, too. But …
Tim: Wow, that’s more the 100 dollars a month. And you can’t live on that?
Carina: No, I only manage to save about 10 dollars a month. It’s a drag?
Tim: It sounds like you have a budget problem. Simple, either work more or spend less.
Carina: I’m definitely not going to work more. I’ll have no time to study.
Tim: So you’d better start spending less, why don’t you make a monthly budget?
Carina: A budget? Hmm, maybe,  .Hey, Tim, you majored in economic, right?

 Part B
The Olympic Park
 To host the 29th Summer Olympic Games in 2008. Beijing needs 35 stadiums in all .
Thirty of them will be in Beijing, with 15 of them newly built. The first on the list is the building of the Olympic Park or “Olympic Green”.
 The Olympic Green will be located at the northern tip of central Beijing, to the north of downtown area and to the east of a district famous for science, education and historical buildings. Covering a total area of 1,215 hectares, the Olympic Green consists of 260 bectares of woods and grassland, a 50-hectare Chinese Nationalities Museum and a 405-hectare International exhibition and sports center. The Olympic Green will become a state of the art center of cultural, recreational and sports activities in Beijing.
 The Olympic Green also has an area of sports venues. In the area, an 80,000-seat main stadium and 15 other sports venues and now under construction. When completed, they will be able to host 12 major sports competitions at the International Exhibition and Sports Center will also be built in the area.
 The design of the Olympic Green has taken serious considerations about how to meet IOC’s stands of environmental protection. It uses material that are environment friendly and equipment that needs less energy to run so as to protect the environment. All this will help the Beijing Olympic Games to be remembered as the greenest Olympics.

Unit 6
1 I perfer traveling by plane bacause it's quicker.
2 I think buses are better than any other form of transport. A bus journey is more interesting ,because you can see what is happning in the streets.
3 I hate traveling by train. There are always problems with trains in this area.They're either late or they're cancelled. You can never trust them. I use my car and always get where I'm going on time. Trabeling by car id definitely more reliable.
4 I don't teke buses, not do I drive a car. They both cause terrible pollution in towns and cities. I enjoy traveling everywhere are crazy. They sit for hours in traffic jams. To me trains are much better. I think traveling by train because I can work while I'm traveling. It's more convenient and more comfortable than traveling by car.
The Maglev Train
On the whole I think our couitry has an excellent system of tramsportation, but I do not think that it does a good job of transporting people between cities that are only a few hundered  miles apart .A persom commuting  between one city and a neighboring  one may spend only a relatively short time in the air while spending several hours getting to and from the airprot. This situation makes flying almost as time-consuming as driving. Moreover, airplanes use a lot of their fuel just getting to the air. They simply are not fuel efficient on short trips.
Then,high speed trains may be thr answer. One fairly new propasal for such a train is for something called a MAGLEV,meaning a train raised in the air by magnetic force. Maglevs will not actualy ride on the trucks but will fly above tracks that are magneticallly activated. This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than 150 miles per hour. At that speed conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. It seems Maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future.

Ann:Ben! You can't park here! There's a double yellow line.
Ben:Oh, we'll be back in a few minutes. It's ok.
