INSTRUCTION: Listen to the paragraphs.
2026-08-02 07:10:21 +08:00
2026-08-13 15:41:05 +08:00
Narrator: Vending machines are everywhere; they're all around the world. You can find them in many places. They sell snacks, soft drinks, stamps, cigarettes, socks, stockings, sandwiches, and many other things. People everywhere can get almost anything from a vending machine. {bk10-l1a-f9-ex.mp3}
Narrator: People enjoy vending machines. In 1880, one of the first vending machines sold chewing gum. In 1902, some cities had rooms for vending machines only. These machines sold different snacks. Then, in 1927, machines started to sell soft drinks. These machines were popular in 1880, and they are popular today. {bk10-l1a-f9-01.mp3}
Narrator: You can always eat or drink something when there's a vending machine near you. Many people get hungry between meals and buy snacks from vending machines. The machines have a big selection of things. People can eat snacks at any time of the day or night. Vending machines never close. It's good to have one near your home. {bk10-l1a-f9-02.mp3}

| | | |
|---|---|---|
| I'm / You're / He's / She's / We're / They're | **supposed to** | relax. / be on time for class. / wear a seatbelt. |

| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Am / Is / Are | I / he / she / you / we / they | **supposed to** | be in this building? / go to lab now? / report to the captain? |
**Be supposed to** is used to express something that:
2026-08-13 15:41:05 +08:00
-- is planned or arranged
{The train was supposed to arrive at 10:30.}
{The movie is supposed to start at 7:00.}
-- is to be expected (because of duty or law)
{Are the men supposed to clean the barracks?}
{We're supposed to wear our uniforms every day.}
2026-08-02 07:10:21 +08:00
2026-08-13 15:41:05 +08:00
**Be not supposed to** is used to express something that is not allowed or advisable.
