Unit 11 Gold
M: Gold has been a part of many cultures for
hundreds of years. People made coins and jewelry
with gold.
Gold is a soft metal. It is easy to shape into
sheets, long wires, or rings. People sometimes
mix gold with other metals. This makes the gold
harder. Then it can be made into beautiful jewelry.
Why do we value gold so much? It has a
special color. No other metal is a bright yellow.
We also value gold because it is rare. A rare
thing is hard to find. Even after hundreds of
years, gold is still a precious metal now. It is still
valued for its beauty. It is still rare.
Today, banks store gold in the form of bars.
Its value is more than $600 per ounce. Gold is
more useful now than ever before.

M: Maybe. Do you know how much the tickets are
going to cost?

Unit 15 Monet’s Garden
W: Claude Monet was a great artist. He was the
first of a group of artists called the
Impressionists. This group of artists thought
about how things in the world made them feel.
They tried to show this in their work. This way
of painting shows how light can change shapes
and colors.
Monet did a lot of his work outdoors. He
wanted to show how daylight made things look.
Many of his paintings are of gardens. He liked
to paint flowers and trees. He loved to paint in
his own garden. His garden was in a village. He
lived there for many years.
Today, many visitors come each year to this

with you!

watching TV. I think it’s much more fun to
watch TV shows on a big screen.
W: I’ve never watched TV on a big screen. Do you
think the quality of the picture is good?
M: Yes, the quality is great. When you watch soccer
games, you feel like you are right there on the
field!

G : I don’t know. It looks kind of boring.
B : Really? I think it looks quite interesting. Besides,
Tim Cross is a famous actor.
G : He may be famous, but I don’t think he’s a very
good actor. He always acts in the same sort of
movie. He never does anything different.
B : Well, at least you think he’s good looking, right?
G : No, not really. He always looks so sleepy.
B : But most girls think he’s handsome. Maybe
that’s why he is so famous.
G : None of my friends think he is good looking at
all. I used to like him a few years ago, but now
I think he’s not handsome at all.

him!
G : Well, that explains why I don’t like your new
haircut!
