M: Looks great!
W: Thanks. This is the living room.
M: Eh, big for Hong Kong, and a nice view of the river.
W: Yeah, and this is my bedroom, my kitchen and my study. This is my favorite room.
M: Oh, it looks really comfortable.
W: Yeah, the study is where I spend most of my time when I’m at home. My computer and TV are in here.

M: Kate, please add some hot water.
W: How was that now?
M: Oh, that feels so good on my aching feet. Thank you.
W: That's better, isn't it? It looked that you had a lot of fun today.
M: Yes, I really did even if I was one of the last to finish the race.
W: That's really doesn't matter, does it?
M: Not at all. I was trying to do my best. There was one point where everything seems so easy. I wasn't even tired. It was wonderful.
W: Now the race is over. Will you still be running every night after work?
M: I think so. I'm going to try to keep it up. You know it's almost as much fun training as it is running in the race.
W: Really?
M: Yes, maybe you should run with me Kate. You'll see how good it will make you feel.
W: All except your feet. Have you forgotten about those?
M: For a moment, I did. How about a little more hot water?

Good day. I’m Michale and I’m a science teacher at the Darwin school of distance education. We teach students age 11 to 80. In many ways, teaching at a distance school is just like teaching in an ordinary high school. We have to read and mark a lot of course works which the students hand in by mail. The biggest difference I think is the classroom. It’s a small room and there is nobody in it except me. The other difference is that I give the class and do experiments in front of the camera. It seems strange at first but it is easier than teaching in front of the class of thirty kids. Another difference, and this is the most difficult thing for me, is that I can’t see any of the students. They can see me, but I can’t see them. So I don’t know if they are interested or bored by the lesson. But I can hear them, so I usually ask them questions during the lesson to make sure they are listening. Actually most of my students are great, they listened carefully to the lessons and they are very good on working on their own. Sometimes we have problems with one or two students, they don’t do their course work or they don’t log in any of the lessons. But this doesn’t happen very often. In fact, students at a school of distance school education work hard and get good results better than a lot of students at a regular school.
