E 35 - SPEAKING 09:
PART 1
The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/ her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.
EXAMPLE
YOUR COUNTRY
õ? Which part of your country do most people live in?
Hanoi is the capital of Viet Nam with a huge population. Hanoi is the place where many historical relics can be found. Its beautiful weather in Autumn is usually a theme for poets to write their poems.
õ? Tell me about the main industries there.
In Viet Nam, agricultural products, rice, rubber, coffee and tea are the main source of income. The major industries are steel, coal, electricity, oil, food processing and machinery, fertilizer, cement, paper, shoes and clothing manufacture.
õ? How easy is it to travel around your country?
Nowadays, itõ?Ts quite simple to reach our country with professional local tour operators.
õ? Has your country changed much since you were a child?
Vietnam has rapidly developed a well-trodden trail of tourist attractions. In the north, hanoi charms, while the vistas of Ha Long Bay and the hilltribes of Sapa draw tourists in their thousands. In the centre of Vietnam the remnants of the war can still be seen around the DMZ, the Imperial capital of Hue offers a glimpse into yesteryear and the incredibly popular Hoi An attracts shoppers in their droves. South again to the beach strips of Nha Trang and Mui Ne offering the opportunity of a bit of sun and sand, before reaching the country''s southern capital Saigon. Below Saigon the Mekong Delta offers much to the independent and intrepid traveller -- be sure to palm of the organized tours
PART 2
You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes.
You have one minute to think about what youõ?Tre going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
Describe a well õ?" known person you like or admire.
You should say:
Who the person is
What this person has done
Why this person is well - known
And explain why you admire this person.
There are many heroes and heroines in our history, but President Ho is known as one of the most famous.
He was the founder of the Vietnamese Communist Party, which led the victorious Revolution of 1945. This event brought independence and freedom to our people after nearly 100 years of harsh French domination. But the enemies invaded our country again. They wanted to have our people live in slavery. Once more, under President Hoõ?Ts leadership, our people successively defeated the French colonialists and the American imperialists, liberated South Viet Nam and reunified the whole country in 1975. President Ho is respected and worshipped by the Vietnamese people. UNESCO, a prestigious international organization, has also selected him as a national hero as well as an outstanding writer.
Thanks to him, we are now living in the most glorious era in our national history.

PART 1
The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/ her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.
EXAMPLE
COLOUR
õ? Whatõ?Ts your favorite colour? Why?
My favorite color is green. (õ?Ư) I love green because itõ?Ts a healthy color. It shows growth in everything and I have a love of nature.
But to me itõ?Ts not just natureõ?Ts growth that is green, itõ?Ts in people also. We are becoming more & more õ?ogreenõ? every day. It is a part of the wonderful world we live in every day. Without the color green this planet would be and look dead. Itõ?Ts also a calming color in my opinion. I find that itõ?Ts the most calming (to me anyway). Nothing is better than walking out into my gardens at the end of a stressful day and just sit amongst all the green plantsõ?Ư.it helps wash all the hurry hurry stress away.õ?
õ? Do you like the same colours now as you did when you were younger? Why/ Why not?
I have always loved green and black , but recently I have been playing a lot in red. I donõ?Tt know why.
I used to always walk away from red as a child. As a child I had red dresses made by my mother and didnõ?Tt like the way it looked on me.
I think it might be that I am attracted to it because it brightens the monochromatic stage of my life.õ?
õ? What can you learn about a person from the colours they like?
õ? Black
Black is one of the most beautiful colors and yet it is the absence of color too. It is the color of detail. Black personalities want every thing done in detail. They are good at statistics and make good accountants. Internal Revenue Service agents probably like this color.
If a job needs finishing, these are the people to finish it. These personalities need leaders, though, to tell them what needs to be done.
Under guidance, they are able to get to the crux of the matter and solve very large problems. When put in a position to find the mistakes of others, they are right at home.
They like puzzles, and finding others'' mistakes brings out their tenacious spirits. Black personalities will sometimes intentionally find mistakes just so that they can repair them.
This color is one of holding things inside. When one wears black, they do not want to be touched. Putting a barrier between themselves and others is the purpose of this color.
Black is a relief color for most people, like "Mom''s apple pie". It makes them feel comfortable and even, in some cases, makes them feel smaller, allowing them to hide from the sometimes cruel world.
õ? Blue
Blue is an emotional color. People with a blue personality stay inside themselves and do not trust people very much. They watch every move others make. Pale shades of blue show someone who wants everything in order. Their closet is immaculate. As blue moves to the deeper end of color, it becomes more moody and shows it.
People who prefer this color frequently use their emotions to make decisions. They are also easily affected by the moods of those around them. They sometimes expect you to feel down whenever they are. Showing signs of co-dependency, they need you to be by their side experiencing their feelings.
õ? Green
Green is the color of healing. Green personalities want to help every one. These people can usually be found in the medical profession or some occupation which helps people. Preferring to watch rather than to become involved in others business, they usually keep their thoughts secret. Others see them as good listeners because of this quality. This characteristic makes them wonderful counselors.
Green personalities make others feel at home in their house by putting them at ease immediately. They try to take care of others and they want harmony in every one''s life. Green personalities may even stop an argument between others by starting one themselves. Green personalities make the best of friends because they are jovial, caring and can keep a secret.
In order for a green personality to feel good about themselves, they have to be helping someone or something. Nurturers by choice, they are the ones who take care of animals, humans and plants.
õ? Orange
Orange is the color of nature. Orange people are nature lovers. Being sports minded, they love anything to do with the outdoors. Taking long walks in the woods revives them. When forced to stay indoors for long periods of time, they may become ill. Trees and animals mean a lot to them and they want to be a part of nature. Good professions for orange personalities include farmers, ranchers, football players, and guides.
People always say good things about these down to earth people. Although they may sometimes invoke anger from others, it usually doesn''t last very long. Who can remain mad at someone so helpful?
They are good lovers and can be kinky where *** is concerned. Orange personalities do not consider themselves kinky, just willing to try what their partner may like.
Tending *****pport the underdog, they will try to help someone who they feel needs assistance. Always aware of their surroundings, they tend to be more adventurous than most. Even though they are impulsive and thoughtful, they generally are very much aware of what they are doing.
Learning and remembering through experience is a strong suit of theirs. Orange personalities believe God meant for them to have all the good things in life.
õ? Pink
Pink is the color of peace. People who love the color pink are usually either in a blissful state or looking for one, They want to draw the little smiley faces on everything. Truly loving everyone, they try to see the best in others. If they don''t find something good in a person, there has to be a very good explanation in the pink personalities mind as to why not.
Those who have this personality quietly study the best way to approach problems and then take action. Because they tend to research ideas this way, they may be seen as slow but they are anything but slow.
Pinks see the world through rose colored glasses. The truth of the matter is that it might be nice if we could all put those glasses on now and then.
They are shy, very intelligent, hard working people who wish they were more part of the mainstream but are frightened of moving too quickly.
Pink personalities watch what they do or say because they are afraid that others may see them in a harsh light. They try to make everyone happy.
õ? Purple
Purple is the color of spirituality. Purple personalities are always striving to be better than they consider themselves to be, both on a spiritual, emotional and a mental plane.
Needing more knowledge, they become avid readers. Trying to become what they think they should be, they search their own lives and the lives of others to find the answers. The study of religions makes them feel as if they are accomplishing something bigger than themselves in life. A good theological discussion is right up their alley.
Wanting to help as many people as they can, they are more than willing to give you the benefit of their education. Trying to achieve perfection, they seem to struggle with themselves more than most because they tend to be so critical of themselves.
õ? Red
This is the color for passion, energy, and money making. Red with orange overtones are dynamic and love the outdoors and anything to do with people. Red with blue overtones can be energetic people with high emotions.
Red personalities in their true red mode are ***y and seductive. Men prefer to watch a women wearing red, even though she may not be the most beautiful woman in the room.
It is also the color for someone who wants to have power and be in control. Business people who want to win wear this powerful color to meetings in which they want to stand out. The red personality makes one feel more energetic or activated. Stop signs are red. Red gets your attention. This energetic personality craves attention and what''s more they get it. Being quick with their emotions, they may erupt into a temperamental volcano right in front of you then simmer down just as quickly.
õ? Yellow
People with yellow personalities are business minded. These people want others to know they are well educated, whether self taught or otherwise, and strive to attain success through anything that requires mental abilities.
Making good leaders, they generally make up their mind in a methodical way. Every detail needs to be analyzed before they make a move. Any strategic game peaks their interest. Chess is the game for them.
This personality makes them a little stubborn. When the color moves toward a mustard shade these personalities feel that they are the only ones making the right decisions. This tends to make others a little suspicious of their motives.
The true yellow personality makes wise decisions after considering all points of view. Yellow women personalities would rather be in business, than mothers, but can do both and be quite adept at doing so. When these people are under stress, they feel that they need to hide their emotions. If they show stress, it is a sign of weakness and vulnerability. They try not to let you see them sweat.
Keeping to themselves without inviting many others into their lives, they generally only have one or two good friends. These friends are usually people who are also business minded, although the true yellow personality depends on no one but themselves. Adoring tailored clothing, they usually dress quite professionally. Although the women may add larger accessories, they dress with a simple flair.
õ? White
White is the color of purity. The color of new snow or light from above. What we fail to see is that snow and light have impurities in them but seem to be the purest of all sights.
Shyness comes with this color but it is not a true shyness. Waiting patiently for others to notice them before they make their thoughts known, they tend to appear shy but in truth, they are very outspoken.
Virginal attitudes abound with these people. They feel pure no matter what they do. The virtue of purity is attributed to them by others as well, whether they deserve this characteristic or not. White personalities feel they are right in their belief structures although they are not sure they want to discuss those beliefs with others. The fact that they know they are right is enough for them.
õ? Do any colours have a special meaning in your culture?
In Vietnamese culture, red means many things: the win, the love, the blood, the heart, the sacrifice and the color of the flag of Vietnam.

MR MAX Fine.
SECTION 2
INTERVIEWER A dream came true in 1995, when over 96 days of the spring and summer, an expe***ion of four men undertook what they believe to have been the first and only complete end-to-end crossing of Morocco''s Attora mountains. I talked to Charles Owen, the leader of the expe***ion group, about the trip.
Charles, how much planning went on beforehand? CHARLES Well, as you know, I run these walking trips across the mountains for
tourists and over the years, I''ve collected maps and other data to prepare Q1J
what I call a ''route book'' for this trip and this book basically shows the
route across the mountains that we took.
INTERVIEWER You actually broke records while you were out there, didn''t you?
CHARLES Mmm. Yes, it was 900 miles in total and we managed to climb 32 peaks Q12
that were over 3000 metres high, including Toubkal, which is of course the Q13
highest in North Africa. We weren''t actually out to make a name for
ourselves - it just happened really. INTERVIEWER What was the. weather like?
CHARLES It got us right from day one and we were pretty taken aback really to find Q14
that it rained on quite a number of days, and so we were forced to start
re-planning our route almost from the outset. One of the obvious
problems is the heavy snow which blocks the mountain passes, so you have
to make considerable detours. When we were on the way to Imilchil, for
example, the snow forced us into a northern bypass which was new to us,
but anyway, either way we would have been rewarded because we fell upon
amazing, high meadows, huge gorges and wonderful snow-capped
mountains. The scenery was as fine as any we saw on the trip and that was
how it was every time - having to take another pass was never a Q15
disappointment.
INTERVIEWER It was in many ways a social trip, wasn''t it?
CHARLES Yes, yes ... we''d arranged to meet up with friends at various points on the .
journey. I mean this was actually one of the purposes of the trip . . . and we managed to keep all these dates, which is amazing really considering the Q16. detours we made. An old friend acted as a sort of transport organiser for Q17. everyone and the Hotel Ali in Marrakech was a good social base - I''d really recommend it, although I can''t remember who runs it. Anyway, groups of õ? Q18 friends actually joined us for three-week stints and others just linked up with us. Some, whom we hadn''t met before the trip at all, tagged on for short bursts - people from the area - who just came along for the ride. But outside the major visitor areas like Toubkal we only met one other group of travellers like ourselves in the whole 96 days.
INTERVIEWER Were there any bad moments?
CHARLES We took two, I must say, long-suffering donkeys with us to help transport water and tents and things. I suppose if we were to do it all again we''d probably hire donkeys along the way. Taza and Tamri, as we called them Q19 after the last places in the trip, well, they made quite a uniquejourney between them, and ... but it was continuously demanding for them. On both the really high summits, they took diversions that were quite out of Q20 character and I can only assume that it must have been due to tiredness.
INTERVIEWER Well, thank you ... And Charles has put together a video about this
journey and continues to lead groups to the Attora mountains, so if you want further information ...
SECTION 3
JANE Hi Tim! (Tim: Jane.) How are you? (Tim: Fine.) I''d been wondering when I''d run
into you. Have you been here long? TIM I arrived yesterday, on Sunday. How about you?
JANE I got here a few days ago, on Saturday. No - wait a minute, what''s today? - Sorry
Friday, not Saturday. Q21
TIM But we didn''t have to be here till today.
JANE Yes, I know, but I wanted to get my things moved into my room, and just take a
look around. So, did you decide to do English in the end? TIM No, I changed my mind and opted for history instead. And you''re doing biology, if Q22
I remember correctly. JANE Yes, although to start with I couldn''t decide between that and geography. TIM How much reading have you got? I was given an amazingly long list of books to
read. See! JANE Wow, it does look pretty long.
TIM Well, I counted 57.I could hardly believe it! What''s your list like? Q23
JANE Well, it''s not as long as yours, but it''s still pretty big. There are 43.I don''t know Q24
how I''m going to get through them all. TIM Well you don''t have to read them all this week! You just have to stay ahead of the
lectures and seminars. Have you got your class schedule yet?
JANE Yep. It came with the reading list. When''s your first lecture? TIM Tuesday. How about you?
JANE The day after. It''s my busiest day; I''ve got two lectures in the morning and one in Q25 the afternoon.
JANE It''s going to be different from school, isn''t it!
TIM Yeah, particularly the lectures. Have you got any special strategy for listening to lectures?
JANE Well I''m going to use a cassette recorder and record them all. Q26
TIM What! Are you allowed to?
JANE Sure. Lots of people do it nowadays. It means you can listen to the lectures all over
again later, and make really good notes. TIM I couldn''t do that. I like to take notes as I''m listening. I usually find I get all the
important points. Reading is different of course. My approach is to skim the book Q27
first to see what''s important and what isn''t. It saves hours of time. JANE But what if you miss something?
TIM You don''t mean you''re going to read every word, do you? JANE Well, that''s what I usually do. TIM Well, that''s up to you, but I think you''re crazy! JANE What''s your first lecture on, anyway?
TIM Oh, it''s a lecture on the French Revolution. Q28
JANE The French Revolution! How boring!
TIM It''s not boring at all! It was an amazing period of history. It changed everything in
Europe. So what''s your first lecture about? JANE It''s about animal behaviour. It sounds really interesting. TIM Look, I was on my way to the library. I''m going to get some of these books out
and start reading for the first essay I''ve got to write. JANE And what have you got to write about?
TIM Well, you''ll never believe it, I think our professor must have a sense of humour.
He''s given us the title "Why study history?" Q29
JANE That''s a good one. When you find the answer, let me know!
TIM I''m going to enjoy writing it. Have you been given any writing assignments yet?
JANE Yes, I''ve got to write about animal language. Q30
TIM Hmm! That sounds a challenge. I suppose you''ll be off to the zoo to do field research.
SECTION 4
LECTURER
Welcome to further education Information Week. This is the Physical Education Faculty''s
session and I''m the Head of the Faculty. During the course of this morning we hope to
give you a clear idea of what we offer in our training programs and we will look at the
types of courses and the entry requirements, if any, for those courses. Some of these
courses are open to school leavers, but for some you need previous qualifications, or
relevant successful employment.
So firstly, the Physical Fitness Instructor''s course is offered as a six-month certificate course which includes an important component of personal fitness but there are no specific entry requirements.
For Sports Administrators we provide a four-month certificate course but you should be aware that this is designed for those who are in employment. This employment must be current and related to sports administration.
For the Sports Psychologist course we offer a one-year diploma course, but this diploma course is available only to those who already hold a degree in psychology, so you need to make sure you have that before you apply to do this course.
Now . . . for Physical Education Teachers we offer a four-year degree in education. This degree course is designed for preparing students to teach in primary and secondary Schools and needs no prior qualifications as it is entered directly by school leavers.
And lastly for the Recreation Officer''s course we offer a six-month certificate. Entry to this course normally includes applicants of a wide range of ages and experiences, but we do not insist on any prerequisites for this course.
Remember that this is a vocational training institute. We train you so that you can take up a particular kind ofjob. So it is important that you know the main roles of the jobs -what the work is like and what kind of qualities you need *****cceed at them.
A Physical Fitness Instructor works in health and fitness centres preparing individual programs for ordinary members of the public. Physical Fitness Instructors prepare routines of exercises *****it the individual client''s age and level of fitness.
Sports Administrators run clubs and sporting associations. Their duties include such things as booking playing fields with local councils and organising the schedule of games or events for the club, so they need good organisational skills.
Sports Psychologists spend time with professional athletes helping them approach competition with a positive mental attitude to enable them to achieve their personal best. They do this by improving motivation and concentration or assisting with stress management.
Physical Education or PE Teachers instruct young students in how to exercise, play sport, and do other recreational activities correctly and safely. PE teachers help the development of co-ordination, balance, posture, and flexibility with things like simple catching and throwing skills. They are not expected to be experts in all sports, but must be able to show students the basic techniques involved in a wide range of activities.
Recreation Officers often find themselves working for local government authorities and local groups. Their aim is to raise people''s awareness of healthy lifestyles and improved general fitness through arranging recreational activities for groups of all ages from the very young to the elderly.
There are many other job opportunities which our graduates can look forward to. If you are interested in any of these ...

Good morning. Diane Davies. Can I help you?
Yes, I''d like to get some insurance for the contents of my home.
Fine. When did you move into the house?
A couple of weeks ago, and it''s an apartment actually. I was told by the landlord Example that it would be a good idea to get some insurance for the furniture and other personal possessions.
Fine. Well, let''s get some details. What kind of apartment is it? It''s a two-bedroom apartment. What floor is it on? Why do you need to know that?
Ql
Q2
Because it affects the cost of the insurance. An apartment on the ground floor isn''t as protected as others and there''s more chance of a break-in.
Really? I didn''t know that. It''s on the third, no,. .. second floor.
Second ... and how much is the rent?
It''s $615 per month.
Good, and where is it located?
In Biggins St, South Hills.
I see. And what things did you want to insure? Well, what do you recommend?
Q3 Q4
Well, the most important things are those which you would normally find in a home. Things like the television, fridge and so on.
I see. Well, I''ve got a fridge and a stereo system which I''ve just bought from a friend.
And how much did you pay for the fridge? Er, $450.
50 or 15?
50, and the stereo system cost $1,150. Have you got a television? Yes, but it''s very old and not worth much. OK. Well, is there anything else you want to insure? Yes, I''ve got a couple of watches and my CDs and books. How much do you think they''re worth? The watches are worth $1,000 ... For both of them?
Q5
No, each one and, all together, the CDs and books cost me about S400. OK, so the value of everything you want to insure is $4,000. How much will the insurance cost?
Let me see, S4.000 divided by ... plus 10% . . . right, so this kind of insurance,
er, that''s Private Contents insurance, it comes to $184.00 for a twelve-month Q6

And the address is?
It''s 16C Biggins Street, South Hills. Qs 8,9
OK (writing) 16C Biggins Street, South Hills? That''s right, it''s two words, ''South Hills''. And your date of birth is? 12 November 1980. And your contact number? Home phone number is 9872 4855. Right.. . and er,... you''re Australian?
No ... I was born in London, although my mother is from Tasmania. Q10

No, I''m a full-time student at Sydney University.

SECTION 2
COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Well, good morning, everyone, it''s good to see you all here. Welcome to Smith House. Smith House as you may or may not know is one of the oldest residential colleges of the university. As you can see, the building you''re in now which contains this main lounge, the dining room, the recreation room, the kitchen and the offices was part of the original old Q11 house, built in the 1840s to be used by the family of George Smith. That''s of course how the house and college got their names. The original house was converted into, a residential college for the university in 1940 and since then has continued to be added on to and modernised.
You''ll notice when you receive your room allocation in a few minutes that your room
number either begins with the letter N, S, or W like this one here. The first letter refers to Q12
the three wings of the college which come away from this main building. Of course the
letters represent the three directions - in this case - north, south and west. Each wing has
two floors, and so the next number you see is either one, or in this case two, and this
indicates which floor your room is on. The number after that is your individual room Q13
number. So it''s quite simple to find any room by going to the right wing, then floor, and Q14
then room number.
You''ll also notice, when you receive your orientation pack shortly, that there are two keys.
One is the key to your room and only you have that key - and the other is a key to the front
door which you''ve just come through here from the street. This door is closed and locked at
8 pm every night and opened again at 7 am. You''ll need your key if you''re coming back to Q15
the college between those times. We ask all students to always enter and leave the college
through the front door. You will notice at the end of each corridor that there is another
door but these are fire doors and are kept locked from the outside. They should only be Q16
opened from the inside in case of emergency.
In your fees you''ve paid a laundry fee which covers the cleaning of bed linen and towels. Ql 7 All bed linen and towels are clearly embossed with the name Smith House so it''s easily identifiable. If you want your other laundry to be done by the college this can be arranged for a small extra fee.
There are only a few rules here at Smith House and we have these rules so that we can all
live comfortably together. The most important rule is that there must be no noise after 9 pm.
There is also no smoking in the rooms or anywhere inside the college but smoking is
permitted on the balconies.
All meals are served in the dining room. Meal times are listed in your orientation pack. Please read these carefully as meal times cannot be changed and if you arrive late I''m sorry Q19 to say you''ll just go hungry.
If you''re unsure about things, each floor has an elected ''floor senior'' who is usually a student in their third or fourth year of study who''s been at Smith House for a while. The floor seniors will introduce themselves later today and answer any questions you have. But Q20 for now I''m going to hand you over to Marney who is going to give you the orientation packs and keys. Thanks Marney.
SECTION 3
LYNNE That essay we have to write ... the one on how children learn through the
media ... how are you planning to write it? ROBIN Well, I''ve given it some thought and I think that the best way to approach it is
to divide the essay into two parts. First of all, we''d have to look at some
examples of each type of media ... LYNNE Yes, what they are . .. then we could describe how we can use each medium so
that children can learn something from each one. ROBIN Exactly. Maybe we could draw up a table and look at examples of each medium
in turn. Let''s see, the different forms of media would be... the print media ...
LYNNE Here you''d have things like books and newspapers, that sort of thing ... Q21
ROBIN Urn, and included in these are the pictorial forms of print media, like maps ... LYNNE Yes, maps are really just formal pictures, aren''t they? And then there are what we Q22
call the audio forms of media ... where children can listen. CDs and radios are Q23
probably the best examples, because a lot of children have access to these
especiallyradious.
ROBIN And this would lead into the audio-visual media, which can be seen as well as
heard ... film, television . . . and we mustn''t forget videos.
Yes, but there''s a final category as well . . . computers, that make up the so- Q25
called electronic media. In the United Kingdom and Australia, they say that one in three families has a computer now.
LYNNE
ROBIN
Yes, I believe it. Well that''s a good list to start with . .. we''re really getting somewhere with this essay now ... so let''s move on to when each type of medium could be used. I guess we could start by trying to identify the best situation for each type of media.
What do you mean?
I''m talking about whether each medium should be used with different sized
groups. For example, we could look at pictures, and ask whether they''re more
useful for an individual child, a few children together or a full class - in this case,
I''d say pictures are best with individual children, because they give them an Example
LYNNE ROBIN
opportunity to let their imaginations run wild.
Yes, I see .. .
Let''s take tapes next. Although tapes look ideal for individual children, I feel Q26
they''re best suited to small group work. This way, children don''t feel isolated,
because they can get help from their friends. Computers are the same ... I think Q27
they''re better with small numbers of children and they''re hardly ever useful with
a whole class. Videos, however, are ideal for use with everyone present in the Q28
class, especially when children have individual activity sheets to help them focus their minds on what''s in the video.
LYNNE
And what about books, what would you recommend for them? Books are ideal Q29 for children to use by themselves. I know they''re used with groups in schools, but I wouldn''t recommend it. Other pictorial media like maps, though, are different Q30 ... I''d always plan group work around those . .. give the children a chance to interact and to share ideas.
ROBIN
LYNNE ROBIN
I agree ... teachers often just leave maps on the wall for children to look at when they have some free time, but kids really enjoy using them for problem solving.
Yes, different people have different ideas I suppose .. .
Yes, and different teachers recommend different tools for different age groups ...

LECTURER
I hope that this first session, which I''ve called An Introduction to British Agriculture, will provide a helpful background to the farm visits you''ll be doing next week.
I think I should start by emphasising that agriculture still accounts for a very important part of this country''s economy. We are used to hearing the UK''s society and economy described as being ''industrial'' or even ''post-industrial'', but we mustn''t let this blind us to the fact that agriculture and its supporting industries still account for around 20% of our Gross National Product.
This figure is especially impressive, I think, when you bear in mind how very small a percentage of the UK workforce is employed in agriculture. This is not a recent
development - you would have to go back to 1750 or so to find a majority of the
workforce in this country working in agriculture: By the middle of the next century, in
1850 that is, it had fallen sharply to 10%, and then to 3% by the middle of the twentieth Q31
century.
And now just 2% of the workforce contribute 20% of GNP. How is this efficiency
achieved? Well, my own view is that it owes a great deal to a history, over the last 50 or 60
years, of intelligent support by the state, mainly taking the form of helping farmers to plan
ahead. Then the two other factors I should mention, both very important, are the high Q32
level of training amongst the agricultural workforce. And secondly, the recognition by
farmers of the value of investing in technology. Q33
Now, although the UK is a fairly small country, the geology and climate vary a good deal from region to region. For our purposes today we can divide the country broadly into three - I''ve marked them on the map here (indicates map).
The region you''ll get to know best, of course, is the north, where we are at present. The
land here is generally hilly, and the soils thin. The climate up here, and you''ve already had
evidence of this, is generally cool and wet. As you will see next week, the typical farm here Q34
in the North is a small, family-run concern, producing mainly wool and timber for the
market.
If we contrast that with the Eastern region, over here (indicating on map), the east is flatter and more low-lying, with fertile soils and a mixed climate. Average farm-size is much Q36 bigger in the east, and farms are likely to be managed strictly on commercial lines. As for crops, well, the east is the UK''s great cereal-producing region. However, increasingly significant areas are now also given over to high quality vegetables for supply direct to the Q37 supermarkets.
The third broad region is the west, where it''s a different story again. The climate is
warmer than in the north and much wetter than in the east. The resulting rich soils in the Q38
west provide excellent pasture, and the farms there are quite large, typically around 800 Q39
hectares. The main products are milk, cheese and meat.
So, clearly, there are marked differences between regions. But this does not prevent quite
a strong sense of solidarity amongst the farming community as a whole, right across the
country. This solidarity comes in part from the need to present a united front in dealing
with other powerful interest-groups, such as government or the media. It also owes
something to the close co-operation between all the agricultural training colleges, through
which the great majority of farmers pass at the beginning of their careers. And a third Q40
factor making for solidarity is the national structure of the Farmers'' Union, of which virtually all farmers are members.
Finally in this short talk, I would like to say a little about the challenges facing farmers in the next. . .

Listening 3 2nd book:
A Excuse me, I''m sorry to bother you, but would you have time to answer a few questions?
B What''s it about?
A We''re doing some market research for a new television channel starting in two years''
time. B OK, why not?
A Lovely, we''ll just work through this form. And if we could start with some personal
background information ... B Sure.
A Right, if I could just have your age ...
B 35. Example
A Right, great.. .
Repeat
A Right, great. And your job?
B Systems analyst, but for the form I don''t know whether it would count as professional
or business or what. A What do you think?
B OK, it''s more like business. Ql
A Fine. And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank.
B No, I don''t mind. It''s Ê40,000 a year. Q2
A Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits ... what would you say is
your main reason for watching TV? B Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I''d say that with TV Q3
it probably just helps me relax and unwind. A Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV?
B Not a lot really ... I should say just over an hour. Q4
A So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?
B Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late - eleven or even Q5
midnight - when I''ve finished work. A And what sort of programmes do you go for?
B Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.
A Fine. And turning to the new channel... which type of programmes would you like to see more of?
B Well, I certainly don''t think we need any more factual programmes like news and
documentaries. I think we need more about things like local information ... you know, Q6
providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for Q6
younger viewers . you know, good quality stuff.
A Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up
the channel, what advice would you give them? B I think I''d advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, Q7
you know, the sound system. People are very fussy these days about that and in general
I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with Q7
their potential customers. A Oh, I''m glad you think it''s valuable! B Certainly ... yeah.
A Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it
is tolerable to have adverts?
B Well out of that list I''d say every quarter of an hour. 1 don''t think we can complain Q8
about that, as long as they don''t last for ten minutes each time! A Quite. And . would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the
new channel?
B Yes, I''d be very happy to, as long as they''re held here in my area. Q9
A OK, I''ll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list?
B Well, I''d prefer not. except for the information about the promotion you mentioned. Q10
A Can I have your name and address?
B Of course ... here''s my card.
A Oh, lovely... and thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you.
B Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks.
SECTION 2
ELIZABETH OK, well, good morning everybody! My name''s Elizabeth Reed and I''m your Assistant Welfare Officer. What I''d like to do now is tell you a little more about some of the er ... the social facilities available on the campus, and also to tell you something about what the town has to offer.
As you probably know already, the Student Union Building is the main
centre of social life here, as indeed it is in most British Universities. The
Union runs a weekly programme of events for all tastes ... oh everything
from discos to talks by guest speakers. Many of these events are fund raising Qll
activities for charities, which the Union takes very seriously. They manage the
Students'' Union papershop, selling magazines and newspapers, as well as Q12
stationery, sweets and so on. Um . Then ... er, let me see... there''s the Ticket Shop, where you can get some very good deals on, well for example, Q13 coaches to London or inexpensive charter flights, as cheap as you''ll get anywhere people say, or tickets for big pop groups playing here or at other venues all over the country, or plays in London - oh and we mustn''t forget the Union Cafeteria and the Big New Diner... Er ... yes? Did you have a QJ4 question?
STUDENT Yes, does the Union also provide help with any problems, I mean advice on financial problems, for example? Or does the University provide that?
ELIZABETH: Yes, the Union run their own advice service, offering help with financial Q15 matters such as grants. I am sure you realise anything medical should be discussed with the University Medical Service, which also has an excellent counselling centre. I think that was made clear yesterday. However the Union Q16 has its own officer who can give advice on legal problems.
Now, onto Radford. For a town of its size, Radford has some unusually
good leisure and community facilities and has quite a good shopping centre,
with an interesting range of shops. As you go into Radford, there''s a new . . .
well, quite new .. . Olympic-size swimming pool. That''s on the outskirts at a Example
place called Renton. Above the pool there''s a hi-tech fitness centre. Are there Q17
any ice skaters here? No? Oh, pity! The facilities for ice-skating are excellent.
Well, the new Metro Tower, right in the centre of town has got an ice rink QI8
and a sports hall for squash, badminton, volleyball and several other indoor sports. And in the same building there''s a new cinema with six screens. Er ... Q19 then, let me see, in the main square, just two minutes'' walk from the Metro Q20 Tower, there''s the Theatre Royal, which often gets London productions on tour... and in the streets nearby you can find a good range of inexpensive restaurants including Indian, Chinese, Thai and

DR SIMON JANE DR SIMON
DR SIMON OK, welcome back to the new term. Hope you''ve had a good break and that you''re looking forward to writing your dissertation ... What I''d like to do in this session is give you the opportunity to ask questions on writing the dissertation ... requirements, milestones ... who to see when you need help. It''s very informal... it may all be written on paper, but it''s nice to get it confirmed. So anything you''d like to ask? Dr Simon, is there a fixed hand-in date yet?
Q21
Right. I can confirm that that''s 21 May, not 20 as we first stated. OK? ... Jane?
What about the word limit?
Q22
Well we try to be pretty flexible on this, but in broad terms it''s 18-20,000. Ah...
Q23
JANE
DR SIMON
And you can choose your topics ... anything from Years 2 and 3 ... Yes? I still haven''t got any idea what I want to do it on. Who .. . ? Well, you should see your course tutor to agree on your final title and you should also be aware that there''s a special programme running on research methods for anyone who wants some extra help on that. Can I just check on the deadlines for everything?
Yes, sure. Look, let me write it on the board ... when the different stages
have to be completed. First of all you''ve got to work on your basic
bibliography, and that''s due in to your course tutor by 31 January ... which
is just two weeks away, so you''d better get a move on on that.
ANDY Do we have to have our own draft plan by then?
DR SIMON No, your draft plan is due on 7 February, which is a week later, so that
should give you plenty of time.
JANE And when do we have to be doing the research? Q25
DR SIMON That''s over a one-month period . . . essentially February to March.
ANDY And the write up?
DR SIMON Well, you can''t really get going on your writing until you''ve got quite a bit of Q26 the research done, so that''s really March to May, with the hand in date on 21st. Any more questions?
ANDY Well, sir, just some advice really. It''s about computers . .. would you advise
us to buy one?
DR SIMON What can 1 say, Andy? I know it''s a massive expense, but I really feel that it Q27 will be of great benefit... you can always look in the Student Union adverts for second hand ones. Yes?
JANE I''ve been looking at some of last year''s dissertations.
ANDY Is that a good idea, sir? I heard ...
DR SIMON Well, I don''t think you should read them in detail too early or you might end
up taking more of their ideas than you realise. But yes ... it really is the best Q28 guide you can have to the expectations of the ... of what''s expected when you write a dissertation.
ANDY Sorry, Jane, I interrupted you.
JANE That''s OK. It''sjust that they did a lot of research using questionnaires ... is
that a good idea?
DR SIMON I think questionnaires are very good at telling you how people
questionnaires, but to be frank they tell you very little else. Avoid them! Q29
ANDY About interviews ... is it OK if we interview you?
DR SIMON The tutors? I don''t see why not; they don''t have any special contribution to Q30 make, but you can if you want. There''s a whole section on this issue in the Research Guide. I''m afraid it''s slightly out of date, and you''re probably better talking to the tutor on the Research Methods course, but you might find it useful to start there.
ANDY/JANE OK, thanks.
DR SIMON OK ... well, great, I hope that sorted a few things out. You can always come and see me or drop me a note if you''ve got any more queries.
ANDY/JANE Fine.
DR SIMON OK. Thanks ...
SECTION 4
LECTURER
Good morning. This morning we are continuing our look at Australia and its natural problems. Actually dryness, or ari***y, as it is generally called by geographers, is probably the most challenging of Australia''s natural problems and so it is very important in this course for you to have a good understanding of the subject. For
Australia, water is a precious resource and its wise management is of the greatest importance.
As I have said, Australia is a dry continent, second only to Antarctica in its lack of Q31
rainfall. Long hours of hot sunshine and searing winds give Australia an extremely high rate of evaporation, far more than in most other countries. It is estimated that approximately 87% of Australia''s rainfall is lost through evaporation, compared with just Q32 over 60% in Europe and Africa and 48% in North America. You generally think of Africa as being a very hot and dry place, but it is not in comparison with Australia. In many parts of Australia standing water, that is dams, puddles and so forth, dry up rapidly and some rainfall barely penetrates the soil. The reason for this is that the moisture is absorbed by Q33 thirsty plants.
Some parts of Australia are dry because rainwater seeps quickly through sandy soils Q34 and into the rock below. In parts of Australia this water which seeps through the sandy soil collects underground to form underground lakes. Water from these subterranean lakes can be pumped to the surface and tapped and so used for various purposes above the ground. In fact, extensive underground water resources are available over more than half of Australia''s land area, but most of the water is too salty to be used for human consumption or for the irrigation of crops. However, most inland farmers do rely on this Q35 water for watering their animals and, where possible, to a lesser extent for irrigation.
Underground water can flow very large distances and can be kept in underground
reservoirs for a very long time. Water from these underground reservoirs bubbles to the
surface as springs in some parts of the country, and these rare sources of permanent water Q36
were vital to early explorers of inland Australia, and to other pioneers last century, who
used the springs for survival. But in many places levels have fallen drastically through
continuous use over the years. This has necessitated the pumping of the water to the
surface. Remarkably, underground water sources in Australia supply about 18% of Q37
total water consumption. So you can see it is quite an important source of water in this dry land.
So most of the consumption of water in Australia comes from water which is kept
above ground. More than 300 dams regulate river flows around the country. The dams
store water for a variety of functions, the rural irrigation of crops, without which many Q38
productive areas of the country would not be able to be farmed; the regulation of flooding, Q39
a serious problem which will be dealt with later in the course; and last but not least, the
harnessing of the force of gravity for the generation of electricity. Q40
That is all we have time for this morning, but you will be able to do further study on this important area in the library. I have a handout here with references on the subject, so if you are interested, please come up to the desk and take a copy.
Next week''s lecture is a case study of an outback farm and ...
