Listening Task 6 Bruce: Hi, Robert, you look very tired. Are you all right? Robert: Just a slight headache. I couldn’t sleep last night. B: Why? Too much pressure? R: Probably. You know, I got a murder case. The mother of the accused came to my office and asked me to defend her son. But it’s difficult to find convincing evidence. That’s a big problem. I feel stressed. B: Don’t worry. You’re a very good lawyer. Trust yourself. R: To be honest, I’m not all that optimistic. B: Robert, things will turn out all right. Take it easy. Let’s just leave your case for the time being… Hmm, I find these years the crime rate has increased greatly. People don’t feel safe any more. Sometimes I’m thinking about what’s wrong with this city. And what have the police done? R: Perhaps there’s something wrong. I don’t know. B: Who knows? Maybe we lawyers should do something. R: Oh, it’s 2 o’clock. I should go to the police station to visit the accused. B: OK. Take care. Don’t give yourself too much pressure. R: Thanks. B: See you. R: Bye. Script Listening Task 7 Work in groups and create the following role-play. You and your friend are talking about capital punishment.

Reading B Reading C Reading B Reading C Text Language Points Task Text Capital Punishment Is a Must  As citizens of one of the greatest nations on earth, we have the highest obligation to uphold justice for every one of our fellow citizens. Since no society or justice system is perfect, or ideal, mistakes will be made. But having the death penalty is not one. Murder must be dealt with in the harshest way possible. The death penalty can be the only consequence. Reading B Text There are three reasons that the death penalty is a must. First, it is the State’s strongest defense of every citizen’s “right to live”.
