One day a friend and I played, erm, barber shop, and, erm, my mother must have been away, she must have been in the kitchen or something (mm) and we got these scissors and sat my brother down and kept him quiet and (strapped him down) ... That39。s right, and cut off all his curls, you see. And my mother just was so upset, and in fact it39。s the first ... I think it’s one of the few times I39。ve ever seen my father really angry.

Woman: No, no my brother39。s just a couple of years older than I ... so the two of us were closer and we thought we were both very grown up and he was just a ... a kid ... so we deliberately, I think, kind of ignored him. And then I left, I left home when he was only still a schoolboy, he was only fifteen (mm) and I went to live in England and he eventually went to live in Brazil and I really did lose contact with him for a long time. Man: What was he doing down there? Woman: Well, he was a travel agent, so he went down there to work ... And, erm, I didn39。t, I can39。t even remember, erm sending a card, even, when he got married.

Unit 2Part I BWhen parents make a lot of rules about their children39。s behavior, they make trouble for themselves. I used to spend half my time making sure my rules were obeyed, and the other half answering questions like “Jake can get up whenever he like, so why can’t I?or “Why can39。t I plays with Angela?Jack39。s mum doesn39。t mind who he plays withorJack can drink anything he likes. Why can39。t I drink wine too?Jack39。s mum, I decided was a wise woman. I started saying things like “Of course, dear. You can drink as much wine as you like” and No, I don39。t mind how late you get up”and Yes,dear,you can play with Angela as often as you like.The reault have been marvelous. They don39。t want to get up late any more, they’ve decided they don39。t like wine, and, most important, they’ve stopped playing with Angela. I’ve now realized(as Jack39。s mum realized a long time ago)that they only wanted to do all these nasty things because they weren39。t allow to.Part II Radio phoneinRadio presenter: Good afternoon.
