T: Now listen to what Mrs Swan, the librarian, says about the school library and British teenagers. Check if you were right. Say if it is the same in your school. What's different? (Ex. 109, р.84.)

Tape script:

I'm very happy that so many students come to my library every day. They use the library to do their homework or to do a project on history, geography or other subjects.

There are also some lessons on the timetable. At those lessons students come to the library with their English teacher. They talk about books for home reading. They find the book here and take it home to read.

If they have finished the book before the next lesson they can come, here during lunchtime or change it after school while the library is open.

A lot of kids just like to come and choose a book themselves. If children have some difficulties in finding books, teachers are here to support them.

Kids often take books just for pleasure. Mostly they are horror, fantastic books on UFOs, that is Unidentified Flying Objects.

I like them coming here. As a librarian I just try to be helpful in finding books.
