As you listen to the first part of the talk, answer Questions 12 to 14:
JENNIFER DAVIS: Hello, my namê?Ts Jennifer Davis. I?Tm the Student Affairs Officer here at Maslow University, and I?Td first of all like to welcome you all to this orientation talk. I?Tll be talking to you about the campus and a little of its history, and then I?Tll be introducing you to some of the facilities available to all Maslow University students and, in particular, overseas students.
First, let me just point our two people who you will definitely need to know. They are Bruce Chandler, who is the coordinator of the Overseas Student Office. Actually, you can see Bruce in that group of people over there. Bruce is the short man with the beard and glasses. Hi, Bruce! Bruce will be speaking to you later.
The other person you?Tll be meeting is Donna Wilcox. Now, Donnâ?Ts in charge of the Student Union Activities Office. In fact, Donnâ?Ts just over there, too. Shê?Ts the one with the white top and dark skirt. Hi there, Donna! Shê?Tll be speaking to you today, later, too.
Now I want to congratulate you all for getting to this talk on time. I say this because I know the campus can be a bit confusing for people when they first get here. In fact, I?Td just like to spend a few minutes pointing out some of the landmarks that can be seen from here. Let?Ts see. If you look just behind me, you?Tll see a large four- storey brick building. That?Ts the Borland Library named after Horold Borland, who was the first Chancellor of Maslow University. Just ahead of me are two buildings that look like identical twins. In fatc, they serve very different purposes. One of them is the University Language Centre. That?Ts the one on my right. The other one- the one on my left ?" is the Aeronautics Building. Now, to the east of us, you?Tll see no building at all ?" just trees and flowers and a huge grassy area. That?Ts the Maslow Gardens, which were part of the original design of the campus. And finally to the west of where I?Tm standing, we can see the largest building on campus. Seventeen storeys of steel and glass construction. I?Tll give you one guess what that is. That?Ts right. It?Ts the University Administration Building.

TOSHIO: Well, Claudia, our first semester at university is almost over. I can?Tt wait for the holidays.
CLAUDIA: Me too, Toshio! Why don?Tt we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.
TOSHIO: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester?
CLAUDIA: Wê?Tve got about 6 weeks, I think.
TOSHIO: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.
CLAUDIA: The coast would be good. But let?Ts look at our other options. Therê?Ts the mountains. They?Tre nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush- walking. Therê?Ts also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.
TOSHIO: What about going to Sydney? I?Tve never been there and they say it?Ts a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I?Tve heard.
CLAUDIA: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I?Td rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for the mountains.
TOSHIO: All right, then, let?Ts do that. Now we have to decide where wê?Tre going to stay and how wê?Tre going to get there. Any suggestions?
CLAUDIA: Well, for places to stay, there are the usual places: motels, hotels, youth hostels. We could go camping, too.
TOSHIO: I?Tm afraid I?Tm not a very good camper, Claudia. I tend to feel a bit frightened sleeping outdoors. And the hassle of building fires and all the insects, and?
CLAUDIA: All right, all right. Wê?Tll forget about camping. Although I must admit it would ?~ve bee my first choice. So what should we do?
TOSHIO: Well, since neither of us has a lot of money, I don?Tt think a hotel or motel would be possible. How about a youth hostel?
CLAUDIA: I ?~ d rather not go to a youth hostel, Toshio. They?Tre certainly cheap, but you never get to be alone in those places, therê?Ts always a stranger in the next bed, and I hate sharing kitchens with people I don?Tt know. No, I think we should find a small holiday house to rent. And if we get more friends to join us, it will be really cheap.
TOSHIO: I think your ideâ?Ts spot on. But, who should we ask along? How about Peter? Do you think hê?Td want to join us?
CLAUDIA: I was just talking to him this morning and he said he was flying home to Hong Kong for a visit.
TOSHIO: Oh, well, what about Maria and her boyfriend Gyorg? Oh, and David Wong might be interested. And his brother Walter is studying here, too. We can ask him.
CLAUDIA: Hang on, not so fast, please. I?Tm writing a list of people to rig. Let me think. We could ask Jennifer, too. I don?Tt think she has any plans. And Michael Sullivan, perhaps, too. I think I?Tll just ring them all now.
After ringing their friends, Claudia returns to speak to Toshio:
CLAUDIA: Well, I talked to everyone we thought of. A few of them are quite keen, actually.
TOSHIO: Tell me, what did they say?
CLAUDIA: Well, Jennifer can?Tt make it. Shê?Ts already booked a flight to Queensland. She says shê?Ts going to meet her boyfriend up there. I also talked to David Wong. He says hê?Tll come. He says hê?Ts really looking forward to getting off campus, too.
TOSHIO: What about his brother, Walter?
CLAUDIA: His brother is goig overseas. In fact, hê?Ts not even coming back next term. It seems hê?T transferred to a university in Canada. Er, I then called Mariâ?Ts house. Her boyfriend, Gyorg answered. I told him our plans and he sked Maria. They both want to join us.
TOSHIO: Good. They?Tll be fun to be with. Now, what about Michael Sullivan? Did you talk to him?
CLAUDIA: Yes. But he said hê?Td rather spend his holiday at home. Hê?Ts not interested in going anywhere! Can you imagine?
As the conversation continues, answer Questions 8 to 11
TOSHIO: The form asks for home addresses. I?Tve put mine, 52 Miller Street, but let me see if I?Tve got yours right. It?Ts 614 Valentine Street, isn?Tt it?
CLAUDIA: You?Tve got the street number right, but not the street name. It?Ts 614 Ballantyne Street. That?Ts B ?" A double L- A- N- T- Y-N-E.
TOSHIO: Ok. Wê?Tre paying by cre*** card. Is that all right?
CLAUDIA: That?Ts fine.
TOSHIO: Have you got a Visa card or a Master card? And I need to know the number, of course.
CLAUDIA: Sure. It?Ts 7743 2129. But it?Ts not a Visa or MasterCard. It?Ts an American Express card.Right?
TOSHIO: So, let me just repeat that. It?Ts 7743 2129. American Express, right?
CLAUDIA: That?Ts right.
TOSHIO: One more thing we have to write down- that?Ts the deposit wê?Tre paying to reserve the holiday house. It says it should be at least 10 percent of the rental cost.
CLAUDIA: Let?Ts just figure that out now. Er, wê?Tre paying $ 350 a week, right?
TOSHIO: Right. And wê?Tre planning to stay there for five weeks. So the deposit?Ts, what, shall we say $225?
CLAUDIA: No, that can?Tt be right. I?Td say it?Ts less than that. In fact, about $50 less than that. It should be $175.
TOSHIO: Hmm. I guess you?Tre right. Okay, that?Ts what I?Tll put down.

As you listen to the first part of the talk, answer Questions 12 to 14:
JENNIFER DAVIS: Hello, my namê?Ts Jennifer Davis. I?Tm the Student Affairs Officer here at Maslow University, and I?Td first of all like to welcome you all to this orientation talk. I?Tll be talking to you about the campus and a little of its history, and then I?Tll be introducing you to some of the facilities available to all Maslow University students and, in particular, overseas students.
First, let me just point our two people who you will definitely need to know. They are Bruce Chandler, who is the coordinator of the Overseas Student Office. Actually, you can see Bruce in that group of people over there. Bruce is the short man with the beard and glasses. Hi, Bruce! Bruce will be speaking to you later.

Now I want to congratulate you all for getting to this talk on time. I say this because I know the campus can be a bit confusing for people when they first get here. In fact, I?Td just like to spend a few minutes pointing out some of the landmarks that can be seen from here. Let?Ts see. If you look just behind me, you?Tll see a large four- storey brick building. That?Ts the Borland Library named after Horold Borland, who was the first Chancellor of Maslow University. Just ahead of me are two buildings that look like identical twins. In fatc, they serve very different purposes. One of them is the University Language Centre. That?Ts the one on my right. The other one- the one on my left ?" is the Aeronautics Building. Now, to the east of us, you?Tll see no building at all ?" just trees and flowers and a huge grassy area. That?Ts the Maslow Gardens, which were part of the original design of the campus. And finally to the west of where I?Tm standing, we can see the largest building on campus. Seventeen storeys of steel and glass construction. I?Tll give you one guess what that is. That?Ts right. It?Ts the University Administration Building.
Questions 15 to 21:
JENNIFER DAVIS:
Obviuosly, the buildings we can see from here aren?Tt the only ones on campus. In fatc, there are a total of 70 buildings if various sizes and purposes scattered over some 13 hectares of land. Later, I?Tll be giving out maps to you, and wê?Tll also be giving you a tour after lunch.
Next, let me give you a little history about Maslow university. The University was not originally a university at all. John Herbert Maslow came to this country from Scotland in 1822 at the age of 33. He had trained and worked as a maths teacher before immigrating and when he got here, he found that there were lots of people wanting education, but not nearly enough people to teach them. So he set up a teacher?Ts collage on this very site in 1825. The students of the college spent an average of 2 years here before they went out to find work in primary schools and high schools being set up around the state. Around 3200 students graduated from Maslow Teacher?Ts College in its first ten years of operation. And I should mention that though John Maslow set up the college, it was always strictly a public institution, always the property of the state government.
Now, even though John Maslow died in 1848, the teacher?Ts College continued to run in much the same way until 1868. Around that time, the state government had plans to establish 2 new universities. In 1866, Riversdale University was established on a site about 11 kilometers northwest of the city centre. The government wanted the second university to be a bit closer to town, so they chose to convert Maslow Teacher?Ts College into Maslow University. That happened 2 years after they opened Riversdale University. As you know, Maslow is southeast of the city centre, but it?Ts only 1.5 kilometres away.
You may be interested to know that therê?Ts always been an intense rivalry between Maslow University and Riversdale University. They?Tre always trying to outdo each other academically and, also importantly, in sport. Now, with sport, it all depends on what game wê?Tre talking about. I don?Tt think anyone in either university would argue that Maslow has the better basketball team and the better soccer team. In fact, Maslow has beaten Riversdale in both sports for about 10 years running. But Riversdale University has its strengths, too. Riversdale ?~s football team has always defeated Maslow?Ts, and in women?Ts swimming too, though not in men?Ts swimming- Riversdale tends to come out on top. When it comes to baseball, well, both universities have a poor record, and the same goes for track and field. Incidentally, the sport teams here at Maslow are always looking for new members, in particular those with a strong background in sport.
Now, let?Ts move on to the facilities in the Student Union?
Section 3: Questions 22 to 33:
T: Mmm. This is yummy coffee, Bob. How?Ts yours?
B: It?Ts excellent. You know, Terresa, I just read an article about coffee last night. It was in that journal that Professor Clark recommended to us.
T: Which one was that? Oh, I think I know. ?oFood Economics Review?, isn?Tt that it?
B: That?Ts the one. Anyway, in the article there were all kinds of interesting things about coffee that I?Td never known before.
T: yeah? Like what?
B: Well, did you know that over 30 million people earn their living from some aspect of coffee farming?
T: That?Ts a lot of people. Coffee obviuosly has a lot of importance economically.
B: Absolutely. In fact, it?Ts the second most valuable commo***y in the world after oil.
T: Wow! Well, if it?Ts that big, it?Ts probably produced and controlled by a few large companies, just like with oil.
B: Well, this article said otherwise, it said that most coffeeê?Ts grown by farmers with only 4 or 5 hectares of land. And coffee ?~s usually all they produce.
T: So who produces the most coffee? I mean which country?
B: It depends on what type of coffee bean you?Tre talking about.
T: Oh, of course. Each country?Ts coffee has a different flavour. My favouritê?Ts Jamaican.
B: What you?Tre talking about isn?Tt type, it?Ts just regional variation. What I?Tm talking about is the coffee bean itself. One common type of coffee bean is called Robusta. It?Ts grown at altitudes of below 600 metres.
T: Is that what wê?Tre drinking now?
B: Probably not. The coffee wê?Tre drinking is premium quality. Robusta is usually used to make instant coffee.
T: Yuck!
B: anyway, the premium coffee- like the stuff wê?Tre drinking now- is from a type of bean called Arabica. They grow it higher up, at between 600 and 2000 metres.
T: So those are the two types of coffee, are they?
B: Actually, therê?Ts one more- called Liberica. It?Ts grown below 1200 metres. But apparaently, it?Ts not produced in very large quantities. It?Ts used in blended coffees.
T: Listen, Bob. I?Tm still waiting for an answer to my question: who grows the most coffee?
B: Now that I?Tve explained the types, Terresa, I can tell you. For the Arabica type, it?Ts Brazil followed by Columbia.
T: So Latin America ?~s the biggest producer.
B: Only for Arabica coffee, but it?Ts also grown in large quantities in Africa, too. In fact, the number three Arabica producer is Kenya.
T: What about the other type, er, Robusta?
B: The biggest producer of Robusta is Uganda. But the second largest is in Asia. That?Ts Indonesia. In fact, Indonesia is the fourth largets producer of coffee, in general, in the world.
T: So, tell me, Bob. Did the article talk about how people like their coffee?
B: Yes, it did. In terms of preferred styles of coffee in different countries. The article divided these styles into instant coffee, espresso coffee and brewed coffee. It seems European countries tend to drink more brewed coffee. Countries like Sweden and Norway, for example. It?Ts the same for the Germans. But strangely enough in the UK, instant coffee is king. Perhaps, they like the convinience of instant.
T: What about the Italians? I suppose espresso would be what they prefer.
B: That?Ts right. And while espresso ?~s popular across the border in France, too, it?Ts still outsold by brewed. In the US, people drink more cups of instant than anything else. But, interestingly enough, in Japan, brewed coffee is number one.
T: What about the producing countries?
B: Well, you?Tre never going to believe this, Terresa, but Brazillians, for example, who grow all those beautiful premium beans, actually prefer instant. It?Ts even more expensive than brewed!
T: Is there any sort of large world body that watches over all the buying and selling of coffee? Like they?Tve got for oil?
B: there is. It?Ts called the International Coffee Organisation- The ICO. It was actually set up by the United Nations in 1963 to try to stabilise the world coffee market. Therê?Ts something like over 100 countries that belong to it, both producing countries and consuming countries.
T: So how does it work?
B: It?Ts pretty complex from what I could gather from the article. But basically, the ICO rackons that by controlling the amount of coffee that?Ts available on the world market, they ca keep prices from going too low or too high.
T: That sounds reasonable, does it work?
B: Usually, but sometimes it doesn?Tt. Back in 1975, Brazil produced alsmost no coffee at all because the coffee plants were killed before harvest by freezing weather.
T: Which meant that there was a demand but not much supply.
B: Exactly. Especially with Brazil beig such a large producer. Anyway, as you?Td expect, prices shot through the roof. The ICO couldn?Tt do anything to help.
T: So people paid a premium for coffee, then.
B: Well, no, actually. The prices went so high for half a year or so that millions of people no longer bought coffee. They couldn?Tt afford to. So you know what happened next?
T: What? No, let me guess. Er, if nobody?Ts buying coffee, the price had to come down, am I right?
B: exactly right. The whole market collapsed, as a matter of fact, and coffee became cheaper than it had been for the previous 25 years. Unbelievable but true.
T: Shall we order another cup?
