听力原文:W: Good afternoon. Today our topic is child care. Most people with young children
M: Hello.
W: Well hello, good afternoon. You are an unusual nanny, aren't you?
M: Yes, I am. A nanny is usually a woman. But a man can be a nanny, too. A man is a male nanny—or a manny. M for man. M-a-n-n-y.
W: Hmm. So you are a manny, right?
M: Yes, I am a manny.
W: What does a manny do?
M: Well, first of all, a nanny, male or female, is the same thing. It's just one is a man and one is a woman. We do the same thing. A nanny takes care of children. A nanny usually lives with a family, but not always.
W: And what is a typical day for you?
M: Well, I usually help the children get ready for school. I help them get dressed, make breakfast and lunch. Sometimes, I take them to school and always pick them up after school. I usually help them with their homework, and we often play together and things like that.
W: A nanny is not a typical job for a man. I mean, it is a little. unusual for a man to take care of children and do household chores, isn't it?
M: Yeah, some people just don't think men can take care of children. They think child care is a woman's job. I disagree. I like it. I also like doing household chores. A nanny is a good job for me. I don't think it's woman's work at all.
W: And how did you know what a nanny does? I mean how did you learn to be a nanny?
M: Well, I went to a special school that trains nannies. I studied about children and child care in my classes. There are schools where people can go to learn how to become a nanny.
W: I see. You went to school and got some training.
M: Yes, I did.
W: Do you have other friends who are male nannies?
M: Well, now I do. My other friends used to make fun of me. They thought it was strange—you know-I was doing a woman's job. But they didn't have a job and I did. I thought it was pretty funny.
W: Well, I learned something today. The new child care workers—male nannies. Thank you very much for coming.
