	Hearing – impaired people cannot hear sounds well. How do they ‘ hear’ words and 'talk?
	Many hearing-impaired people use American Sign Language (ASL). They talk with their hands. Sometimes two hearing-impaired people talk to each other. They both use ASL. Sometimes a person who can hear interprets for hearing-impaired people. The person listens to someone talking, and then he or she makes hand signs.
	There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the alphabet. The person spells words. This is finger spelling. The other kind has a sign for whole words. There are about five thousand of these signs. They are signs for verbs, things and ideas. Some of the signs are very easy, for example, eat, milk, and horse. You can see what they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg, or week.
	People from any country can learn ASL. They don't speak words. They use signs, so they can understand people from other countries.

Tapescript (lop 10)
You will hear a radio interview with a ballet dancer called Elena Karpov, who is talking about her life and career.
Interviewer : My guest today is the star of the London Ballet Company, twenty-two-year-old Elena Karpov. Elena, you were born in Bulgaria. Did you always want to be a dancer ?
Elena : Well, I was a very lively little girl, so at the age of seven my mother sent me to gymnastics classes. When I was nine, I went on to ballet lessons and from that moment I knew that I wanted to spend my life dancing.Two years later, when I was eleven, I won a place at the New York Ballet school.
Interviewer : So you had to move to the United States. Did you miss your family ?
Elena : Oh, yes. At first it was difficult being away from home and not knowing a lot of English. But it taught me how to look after myself and not depend on others. There were other Bulgarian students there, and we actually found it quite easy to learn enough English to take part in the lessons with the other students.
Interviewer : Tell us about your latest role with the london Ballet Company.
Elena : I’m going to dance the part of Cinderella. It’s a story about a poor girl who marries a handsome prince. My parents used to read it to me when I was little. I’d never seen the ballet before, but I already knew the music really well. I’m sure children will love the ballet.
Interviewer : What do you do when you’re not practising or performing?
Elena: Before I joined this company, I spent two weeks going round London as a tourist. I don’t have time for sightseeing now, but I love trying on the latest fashions with my friends. I’m always buying new jeans and trainers ! I’m not too keen on discos and nightclubs – I dance enough during the day !
Interviewer : You must have lots of fans
Elena : Quite a few ! they always ask for a photograph of me, but unfortunately I don’t have many to give away. I sometimes sign their programmes instead, and if I can I give them one of the flowers I have received from the audience . They always ask for tickets, but of course that’s not possible
Interviewer: what’s been the best thing that’s happened in your career so far ?
Elena : Well, I’ve been a guest dancer with ballet companies in Moscow and Vienna, and I appeared twice on television in Bulagia and met the president. I shall never forget that ! But the most satisfying thing for me is that I’m paid for doing what I really enjoy- dancing.
Video
Man : Can I help you ?
Woman : I’m looking for the new Brad Smith video about a boy who works as a waiter. My daughter wants it, but I don’t know the name.
Man : Oh yes. It’s called Blue Café.
Woman : My daughter is 13. Is she old enough to watch it ?
Man : It’s for anyone who is 12 or older, so she’ll be OK.
Woman : I hope it’s not too expensive. Some videos are nearly twenty pounds.
Man : It’s five pounds ninety-nine. We’re selling it at a special price today.
Woman: great. Can I have one, please?
Man : I’m sorry. I’ve just sold the last one. You’ll have to go to our other shop.
Woman : Oh dear. Where’s that ?
Man : It’s in Shirley Street. That’s S H I R L E Y.
Woman : Oh, that where the post office is, isn’t it ?
Man : Yes, the video shop’s not far from there, just across the road from the bank. It’s only five minutes from here.
Woman : OK. Thanks for your help.
