based on p.4, ex.1 Listen and match the speakers with what they say. There's one extra statement you don't have to use Speaker 1 I was a fairly good pupil at school. It was easy for me to learn and I was interested in the things my teachers told us in class. I read a lot. My usual marks were As and Bs, so my parents were proud of me. My favourite subject was geography. I wanted to know more about different countries of the world and the lifestyles there. Speaker 2 My school years were happy indeed. I had lots of true friends and very good teachers. Many of them gave us classes not only in the subjects they taught but helped us with our everyday problems too. Some of them were more than teachers, they were real friends, always ready to explain what we didn't understand. Speaker 3 I'm afraid I was not a very successful pupil at school. My marks in science were not bad but I didn't like reading, hated learning poems by heart, so you can imagine my results in English literature were rather poor. But in the fifth year a new teacher appeared in our school. Miss Stevenson taught English literature. She loved her subject and knew so much about English writers, poets, their lives and works. I got interested in English literature, began to read more and soon found out that lots of books were fairly good. Speaker 4 My problem at school was exams. I was never good at them. Classwork was usually fine but my examination marks were always rather poor. My parents decided to hire a private teacher, and I had extra science lessons at home. It certainly helped but even that preparation didn't change my marks at the exams very much. I got C in physics, D in chemistry, and D in biology. The student says that his/her teacher changed his/her attitude to one of the school subjects. The student says his/her test results were always worse than his/her knowledge. The student says his/her parents were surprised at his/her marks in sciences. The student says his/her father and mother liked their child's results in school subjects. The student says he/she was fond of his/her fellow students as well as the teachers.
