Track 10
Even'' home and office should have a fire extinguisher. Although there''s a good chance that it will sit on the wall for years collecting dust, it could end up saving your property, or even your life. So, what does a fire extinguisher consist of? The main part of the extinguisher is simply a large metal container that is cylindrical in shape rather like a bell jar. In the past these used to be red but nowadays they come in many different colours. The container is full of water or some other substance, such as foam, that can be used to smother a fire. At the top of the container is a lever and attached to the lever there is a thin, extended pjrj that goes down into a gas cartridge. This looks rather like a small bottle or llask and is right in the centre of the extinguisher. Below the lever there''s a curved handle, which is used to hold the extinguisher and direct it at the fire. On the other side from the handle there is a horizontal nozzle that opens when the lever is pressed and emits a jet of water. At the neck of the container there is a small coiled spring that holds the pin in place and this is connected to a long tube, which runs from the spring lo the bottom of the container. This is called the discharge tube which is where the water comes out of the extinguisher into the air.
Track 11
A fire extinguisher can quickly put out a small fire before it spreads. First of all, take ihe extinguisher out of its case and pull out tfie safety pin. Nothing will happen when you do this, it just unlocks (he extinguisher. Holding it by the handle, point the extinguisher at the fire or whatever is burning. Then all you have to do is to press the lever at the top of the container. This pressure causes the long pin lo move down into the gas cartridge. As it does this, it releases gas into the upper part of the cylinder. Ihe gas then forces the water in the main part of the container up the discharge tube and out of the nozzle, producing a jet of water which can put out burning materials such as paper and wood.

YOUNG MAN So how did your first week of architecture go? YOUNG WOMAN Not bad. But Monday is incredibly
busy - I''ve got three two-hour lectures that day.
YOUNG MAN Really? What are they? YOUNG WOMAN Well... we start with construction at ten o''clock. Thai''s really just engineering theory. Then I have an hour off, to go to the library and catch up on some reading, and ai one o''clock we have a lecture on computer assisted drawing. That''s learning how to use computer programs to help you design buildings.
YOUNG MAN NO time for lunch, then! YOUNG WOMAN NO, exactly! And we finish the day with a lecture on history.
YOUNG MAN Woah, that is a full day.

Now we recommend that you get yourself a small bag to carry your supplies in. But, please, not a heavy rucksack, the lighter the bener. Make sure you wear a good pair of hiking boots with thick socks. You''ll need a decent-sized plastic water bottle that can be
easily refilled. Don''t bring cans of soft drink as they don''t quench your thirst! And we''ll he stopping for a picnic lunch, so please bring sandwiches or fruit, that sort or thing. And we recommend a wide-brimmed hat to protect you from the (lies which can be pretty irritating at this time of year. You may need sun tan lotion too, and of course, don''t forget your binoculars, because the view from the top of the mountain is fantastic but you won''t get the full benefit if you''re just wearing sunglasses.

IN I 11< IFWFR In what way are sharks different from other fish?
STUDENT Well, for one thing... they have to keep moving constantly. IMI IIUI UI H And that''s not the case with other rish?
STUDIM NO. Bony fish can stay still because they have a kind of bladder which keeps them afloat, hut noi sharks. Basically they''re heavier than water, you see. so if they don''t keep moving, they sink. I.vmiviLwiiit Is that so?
SIUHK.NI And another interesting thing is thai they can''t swim backwards, though they''re nol alone there actually. And we''ve recently discovered thai even though they''re big, they can still leap into the air from really deep water to catch their prey, things like seals, but they have thai in common with other large fish.
INTKKVIUWUK Wow! They''re pretty awesome creatures, aren''t they?

TheTjibaou Centre is a magnificent building that symbolises the existence of the Kanak people, the original inhabitants of the islands of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean. It was designed hy the world-famous Italian architect Renzo Piano, and was opened to the public in 1997. The Centre itself is based in every detail on the layout of a tra***ional Kanak village, made up of three sections which contain exhibition spaces, a library, as well as conference and lecture rooms. It''s surrounded hy beautiful gardens, and is naturally ventilated, with many spaces open to ihe elements.

I''ve always been interested in plane sporting, ever since I was a little kid growing up in I lolland. I think I just like die look of them, you know ... how each airline has a different lail lo identify it, like a flag. 1 used to go to the international airport widi my dad and we''d try lo see

every piano in an airline''s licet. They each have a serial number though it''s quite a job 10 sec them all. And I love seeing planes from unusual places, even though 1 don''t really want to go there myself. I also like souvenirs from planes and 1 get my friends to bring me things whenever they fly anywhere. I''ve got tray tables and knives and axis. And I''ve even got a seatbelt. I take about 7.000 photos of planes a year, and I''m often down here at live si the morning to catch a shot of the planes landing. You''re not actually supposed to get too near the airfield: JôJU should be three metres away from the fence. Quite often the patrol cars come round and tell you to move away. But 1 love the smmd of the jet planes, the louder the better for me! I''ve never flown in a plane, you know. I''m acnially scared stiff of flying.
Track 13
Paddling around on a river in a small boat is not everyone''s idea of fun and it can sometimes be a lot riskier than you think. But more and more people are ... -:.:!g involved in this neu sport and taking their boats onto dangerous rivers to enjoy what is called u hiie-watercanoeing. Canoes, which are narrow boats to stan with and usually hold only one or two people at the most, are particularly well known for being unstable and turning over in the water. Cynthia Barton, one of Britain''s top canoeists, talks about what the sport is and how to get started if you''re thinking of taking it up.
Track 14
A lot of people may he familiar with what I call recreational canoeing. That''s where you take a canoe out onto a nice calm river... with a picnic and have a relaxing time. But if you''re doing white-water canoeing, then you''re doing something very different. White-water canoeing actually gets its name from the fact that when you do it you''ve got to be paddling very rapid ly through the water and when you''re doing that, you make a lot of froth and bubbles and die water looks white. First of all. you will need to think about equipment. You''ll need to get yourself a good canoe and these can set you back anything from Ê500 to Ê1500 depending on the material they''re made of. Personally, I wouldn''t go for a cheap one, although obviously this depends on your budget. And to protect yourself against rocks when you fall out of the canoe, and believe me you will fall out. you''ll need a good ijuality helmet. It needs to meet certain government standards, so make sure you go to a reputable supplier. .And there''s no point, particularly as a beginner, in wearing anything but a wetsuit. That''s a must. I''d recommend one with short sleeves, rather than long sleeves. Then you''ll have to get a life jacket too and 1 would also suggest that you gel yourself a pair of river shoes. These are made out of the same material as the wetsuit. Some people think thwill do, but they''re much too loose and fill up with water. It is also essential to wear something lo protect your hands from the paddles, and stop diem from being nibbed.
Track 15
The popular rivers are. in fact, graded from one to six in the same way that ski runs are graded to tell people just how flat or steep they are. Once you''re an expert, which can take some time, you can. of course, try anything ... and really serious canoeists, who want a real challenge, go out a loi more in die winter when the water level is high and deliberately look for the most dangerous rivers. Whatever you say about this sport, it is never dull. Generally it''s a fantastic sporl for...

1 It''s a typical house window really. It''s got an outer square frame and then there are two rectangular windows inside the frame. The window on the left has a handle halfway up in the middle and the right-hand side has a small window at the top, with a handle.
2 It''s quite a simple design. It looks like one tube but in fact there are two cylindrical tubes - an outer one and an inner one. They''re both decorated with stripes. The inner one is longer and thinner than the outer one, so that when you stand it on its end, it looks like a telescope.
3 I''m going to get some new glasses and I really like these. The frame''s made of metal and it''s quite thin. You can see a darker edge at the top of the lenses but the sides and the bottom have no frame at all. They''re good. I think, because I have quite small facial features. Also the lenses are oval, which suits the shape of my face.

WOMAN HOW was your first day at university?
MAN Well... it was OK, I suppose... WOMAN Did you have any actual lectures?
MAN Yes, I went to the introductory psychology lecture in die morning, followed by a psych tutorial, and after lunch I had a sociology lecture at... um ... two o''clock, and then I had a history tutorial from five to six this evening. WOMAN That does make a rather long day! MAN It certainly does.

WOMAN Excuse me. Would you be able to tell me where the Emily Parker Au***orium is? I''m looking for the course information sessions. MAN Well, you can follow me, because I''m going to the same place. What do you want to study?
WOMAN Well. I''m hoping to be accepted into the
medical school, if I get high enough grades in my school exams, but if I don''t make it into medicine, I''ll probably do medical science. What about you? MAN Oh, I''m interested in veterinary science. But I''m not sure, at this stage.
Track 09
MARIA So, what''s happening on the field trip? STEVF Um ... well, we''re going to visit a water
treatment plant to see how they process the city''s drinking water.
MAMA Oh, that should be interesting. Do you know if it''s possible to take photographs of the plant, or are cameras not allowed?
StBVB Not sure. I think we''re supposed to include pictures and the lecturer recommended diat we bring a pen and notebook because you may want to do some drawings of the dam.
MAMA OK. I''ll do that. Should we bring anything to eat?
STEVE No need - all the food''s laid on by the people organising the irip. You''ll need some good walking gear and spare clothes though.
MAMA Such as?
STEVE Well... I''d recommend that you bring a waterproof jacket of some sort because according to the weather forecast on the radio this morning, it''s going to rain.
MAMA Hm. Right. I''ll see what I can find.
STEVE And by the way, do you have a cell phone?
MAMA A mobile? Yes, sure.
STEVE Well, make sure you bring that along so we can keep in touch.
MARIA Provided they work up there, of course!
STEVE That''s a point!
MAMA See you on Monday then.

The airport has three terminals which are joined together to form one large building shaped rather like a crescent. If you''re coming from the city by car, you''ll see a big cargo building on your left OB you approach the airport and then the car park is a rectangular building beyond this. You can park your car there and then make your way back into the terminals using the pedestrian walkway. For those who arrive from the city by bus, there are two bus stops at the airport. If you arc flying to a city within Australia, you should get off at the first bus stop opposite the first building. on your right. This is the Domestic Terminal where all the flights to the major cities within Australia leave from. If you are going overseas, you will need to go to the International Terminal which is in the centre of the complex, so gel off at the next bus stop. This terminal has a long, narrow concourse leading down to the departure gates. When you walk into the International Terminal Uirough the main entrance

you''ll find yourself in a large hall where you check in for your flight. The toilets are on the left side of the concourse and there are lifts leading up to the next floor on the right. You''ll find a variety of restaurants and bars on the first floor and shops selling clothes and souvenirs, but remember, there are strict hand-luggage limitations, so don''t buy more than you can carry in one bag. If you are flying to one of the small country towns, you will need to go to the Regional Terminal at the north end of the airport, l-''acilities are limited in this terminal but there is a small cafe where you can buy sandwiches and wait for your (light.

VisrroR F.xcuse me. Could you tell me how to get
from the Jing''an Temple to the Peace Hotel? LOCAL Dm, yes. The best way to get from the temple to the hotel is to take the metro. It''s really much faster than taking a taxi or a bus. You travel two stops and get off at the People''s Square. When you come up to street level, you just walk along Nan Jing Road East.
VISIIOK Oh yes, I''ve heard of Nan Jing Koad. Is that
the pedestrian mall? LOCAL Yes, that''s right. So there''s no traffic there, which is good. The mall is packed with people and there are all sorts of shops to see there, new buildings, old buildings, you name it. Anyway, at the end of the mall is an area called the Bund, and the Peace Hotel is on the left-hand corner of this. There''s a pedestrian tunnel which runs under the Huang Pu River, known as the Tourist Tunnel and the entrance is just outside the hotel. The tunnel comes up at the Oriental Pearl radio and TV tower which is one of die most famous landmarks in Shanghai.
VISIIOK Oh, thank you so much!
Track 19
The Hillside Water Park is an ideal place for anyone who wants to have fun and cool down during the hot summer months. It is open seven days a week from 7am to 8.30pm and the enthusiastic staff are ready to help you enjoy your visit. So how do you gel there? The park can be found in die northern part of Sunshine City and sits on a hill directly overlooking the tourist area and beach, which is how it gets its name. If you arc staying in one of the local hotels, you can walk to the park but it will take about half an hour and, of course, it''s all uphill. So you may prefer to go by public-transport. The local buses will take you there for a small charge and these run every 15 minutes from the Grand Hotel. The number 45 takes you through the market and then up to the water park. This is a more
scenic route and takes a litde longer than the number 57 bus, which goes straight along Beach Road, turns left into Cricket Street and then arrives within ten minutes at the park entrance. Alternatively, you can take a taxi and if you are in a group or family this is probably the best option. However, don''t expect your cab to be air-con***ioned as very few have this luxury.
When you arrive, the entrance is at the south end of the park just to the right of the coach park. You have to go up quite a lot of steps to reach the pay kiosk and unfortunately there is no shade here, so do remember to bring a cap or hat with you. You can purchase drinks at the gift shop, which is near the stone arch. The main pan of the park consists of a circular waterway and you can have great fun here floating round on a large inflatable ring. These are available everywhere but if it''s so crowded that you can''t find one, go to the lifeguard''s hut at the north end of the park. It''s easy to find as it''s surrounded by trees. So back to the entrance. If you''ve already changed into your swimwear before you arrive at the park, you may want to head straight to one of our deckchairs in the sunbathing area. To get here, go through the arch and turn right. Walk alongside the circular waterway to the kids'' pool, carry on past the shaded picnic ground on your right and, as the footpath bends left, the sunbathing chairs are in a large rectangular area on die right. There are other parts of the park where you can sunbathe, near the changing rooms and around the water slides, but this is the quietest spot. There are three pools in the park: the adult pool in the centre is the biggest. On one side of this is the kids'' pool and on the other side is the fountain pool, which is suitable even for non-swimmers. However, don''t dive in the pools. This is too dangerous with young children and for this reason there are no diving boards in the park. There is a first-aid centre on the site if you need it, just north of the water slides, but if you follow all the notices and rules that shouldn''t be necessary. So have fun!

SECTION 2
Speaker:
Thanks for turning up today, thanks for turning up toddy to this short talk I''m going to give on student banking. Many of you are unfamiliar with the way banks work in this country and today''s talk should just give you a few starting points. I will of course answer any questions at the end.
Right. Well ,as you probably know, you''ll need to open a bank account while
you''re here ?" it''s the safest place to keep your money and it''s best to open an
account with one of the major banks. You should each have a handout with the
names and addresses ... there''s Barclays in Realty Square, National Westminster in Example
Preston Park, Lloyds in City Plaza and Midland in Hope Street. OK. All these banks Q13
offer special student accounts. However, it''s important to note that as an
international student you''ll not necessarily be eligible for all the facilities offered to
resident students.
Now, as an international student you will need to provide evidence that you can Q14
fund yourself for however long your course lasts. Banks have different policies and the services that they''ll offer you will depend on your individual circumstances and on the discretion of the bank manager involved. So it''s a matter of going there and finding out about your own particular situation.
Right, erm, when you do go to open a bank account, you should take some
documentation with you. I''ve already mentioned that you must be able *****pport
yourself. In ad***ion to this most banks ask you to bring your passport and your Q15
letter or certificate of enrolment. OK?
Now, by far the most useful type of account to open is a current account. When
you do this, you will actually get what is called a "student account" which is a Q16
current account with special concessions for students. When you open the account,
the bank will give you a chequebook and you can use this to draw money out Q17
as you need it. If you need to write cheques in shops, you''ll also need a cheque
card. This is really an identity card which guarantees that correctly written cheques
up to the value stated on the card will be honoured by the bank. OK?
Right, er, if you want to draw out cash for yourself you can make the cheque
payable in your own name or "to cash". You can also withdraw cash from a
cashpoint machine with a cashcard. These are extremely useful as they enable you
to withdraw cash from your account during the day or at night. Q18
There is also another card called Switch or Delta and you can use this to pay for
things in shops. It takes the money right out of your account, so you don''t need QI9
your chequebook.
Now ?" you may want to take more money out of the bank than you have in it.
This is called having an overdraft. Be very careful with this you should not do
this without permission from your bank. Overdrafts usually incur charges though Q20
some banks offer interest-free overdrafts to some students. But find out before you
get one! Right?
Well, that just leaves opening times ?" when can you go? Banks used to be open
from 9.30 am until 3.30 pm from Monday to Friday but many main branches are
now open until 4.30 or 5 pm on weekdays and some of the bigger branches in Q21
London and other major cities are now open for a limited time on Saturdays. OK ?" any questions?
SECTION 3
I = Ilmar D = Dawn
I: Hi, Dawn.
D: Oh hi, Ilmar.
I: I''m glad I''ve bumped into you. I''ve just found a great idea for the
presentation we''ve got to do for Dr Banks next month. D: What, the one on everyday objects? I: Yes ... look at this article ... it''s really interesting. D: The aluminium coke can?
I: You know ... coca cola cans, soft drink cans. Look let''s sit down here. Have
you got a minute? D: Sure ... I''ll just get my bag.
D: OK, so you think we can get a presentation out of this article? I: I''m sure we can. First of all we can provide some interesting facts about the aluminium cans that we drink out of every day.
D: Like ... ?
I: Well, here ... it says that in the US they produce 300 million aluminium Q22
drink cans each day.
D: Wow! 300 million!
I: Exactly. That''s an enormous number. It says here "outstrips the production
of nails or paper clips". And they say that the manufacturers of these cans Q23
exercise as much attention and precision in producing them as aircraft manufacturers do when they make the wing of an aircraft!
D: Really! Let''s have a look.
I: They''re trying to produce the perfect can - as thin but as strong as possible. D: Mmm ... this bit''s interesting ... "today"s can weighs about 0.48 ounces:
thinner than two pieces of paper ... from this magazine say.'' Q24
I: Yeah, and yet it can take a lot of weight.
D: More than 90 pounds of pressure per square inch ?" three times the pressure
of a car tyre. OK, I agree, it''s a good topic. Q25
I: What I thought was that we could do a large picture of a coke can and label it and then talk about the different parts. Look, I''ve done a rough picture here.
D: OK, so where shall we start?
I: Well, the lid is complicated. Let''s start with the body first. I''ll do a line from
the centre of the can ... like this ... and label it "body ". What does it say?
D: It"s made of aluminium, of course, and it''s thicker at the bottom. Q26
I: Right, so that it can take all that pressure.
D: And then I think you should draw another line from the body for the label.
I: Right "label". The aluminium is ironed out until it''s so thin that it produces Q27
what does it say? D: "A reflective surface suitable for decoration." I: That''s right apparently it helps advertisers, too. D: Yes, because it''s so attractively decorated. I: Good . and then there''s the base.
D: Yes, it says the bottom of the can is shaped like a dome so that it can resist Q28
the internal pressure. I: That''s interesting. I didn''t know that.
D: Nor did I. OK, so going up to the lid . there are several things we can label
here. There''s the rim around the edge which seals the can. I: Got that. And there''s a funny word for the seal isn''t there?
D: Yes, it''s a flange Q29
I: What does it say about it?
D: Well, the can''s filled with coke or whatever and after that the top of the can
is trimmed and then bent over to secure the lid. I: That''s right, it looks like a seam. We could even do a blow-up of it like this
F-L-A-N-G-E ...
D: Yes, that would be clearer. I think we should label the lid itself and say that
it constitutes twenty five percent of the total weight. Q30
I: Twenty-five percent ... so it''s stronger than the body of the can.
D: So to save money, manufacturers make it smaller than the rest of the can!
I: Didn''t know that either ... so how do we open a can of coke?
D: Mmm ... first of all there''s the tab which we pull up to open the can and that''s held in place by a rivet.
I: Mmm ... I think that''s too small for us to include.
D: I agree, but we can talk about it in the presentation. We can show the
opening though Q31
I: That''s the bit of the can that drops down into the drink when we pull the
tab.
D: Yeah, hopefully. Sometimes the tab just breaks off. I: I know.
D: Anyway the opening is scored so that it pushes in easily but doesn''t detach
itself.
I: OK, we can show that by drawing a shadow of it inside the can, like this I''ll label it scored opening. Great ... well, I think we''ve got the basis of a really interesting presentation. Let''s go and photocopy the article.
D: Fine. I''ll take it home and study it some more.

SECTION 4
Lecturer:
Good morning and welcome to the University''s Open Day and to our mini-lecture
from the Sports Studies department. Now the purpose of this lecture is twofold:
one ?" we want you to experience a university lecture, to give you a taste of what Q32
listening to a university lecture is like, and two ?" we want you to find out
something about the Sports Studies program at this university. So feel free to ask Q33
any questions during the talk and I''ll do my best to answer them.
Right ?" so what does a course in Sports Studies involve? Well, you wouldn''t be
blamed for not knowing the answer to this question because Sports Studies as a
discipline is still comparatively new. But it''s a growing area and one which is now
firmly established at our university.
Now there are three distinct strands to Sports Studies and you would need to
choose fairly early on just which direction you wanted to follow. And I''ll just run
over these now. Firstly, we''ve got the Sports Psychology strand, secondly, we''ve
got the Sports Management strand, and last, but not least, there''s the Sports Q34
Physiology strand. So Just to recap there''s Sports Psychology, Sports Management,
and Sports Physiology.
Let''s look first at Psychology. Now the people who study Sports Psych want to
work with top athletes, and they''re looking at what will take those athletes that Q35
one percent extra. What makes them win? When all other things are equal, Q36
physically all other things are equal, they want to know . what are the mental
factors involved? The Sports Psychologist works closely with the athlete through
his or her training program and becomes an integral part of the team. In fact you
could say that they play just as important a role as the coach. So if you''re
interested in what makes people win this could be the area for you.
Now secondly, we''ve got the strand which I referred to as Sports Management
and this goes hand in hand with the area of Sports Marketing. So you might like
to think of this area as having two branches: Management and Marketing. On the
Management side we look at issues relating to the running of sports clubs,
management of athletes that sort of thing. But then on the other side, we''ve got
Sports Marketing. And this is the side that interests me more because here we will
look at the market forces behind sport. Questions like: why do people spend their Q37
money on a football match, or a tennis game rather, than say on buying a CD or
going to the cinema? What are those market forces?
Sport used to just compete with sport. Nowadays it competes with other leisure
activities. The spectators go to sport to be entertained rather than out of loyalty to Q38
a team. They want to have an evening out and they don''t want the cheap seats any
more they want good seats they want entertainment. And the professional Q39
sportsmen and women respond to this without question. They''re there to give a
performance. They provide the entertainment. So in the marketing course we
address all these commercial issues and we look at how this hooks back into the
Management of sport.
Now the third branch of Sports Studies sometimes comes under another name
and is also known as Exercise Science. And again here we find that there are two Q40
distinct types of exercise science. The first is working very much at the macro level.
What I call the huffing and puffing people. So this looks at fitness testing, body

measurements, all that sort of thing. But the more interesting side of sports Q41
physiology, at least in my view, is the side that looks at the micro level, looking at
cellular change. They''re doing cellular research, looking at changes in body cells Q42
when the body is under stress.
So that just about brings us to the end of our mini-lecture for today. I hope you''ve found it interesting and I look forward to seeing you all on our course next year. Feel free to come and talk to me if you want any more information. I''ll be over at that notice board near the main entrance.
