TEST 1 SECTION 1RECEPTIONIST: Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help you?CUSTOMER: Oh hello. I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.RECEPTIONIST: Yes. We operate several tours up the coast. Where in particular did you want to go?CUSTOMER: Well, I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales. Was it'Whale Watching'?RECEPTIONIST: Oh, that's our Whale Watch Experience. lt's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.CUSTOMER: Oh right, and how long does it last?RECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours' travel time each way from here.CUSTOMER: Good, I don't want to be away any longer than that. So is that by coach? RECEPTIONIST: Actually it's by minibus. We like to keep those tours small andpersonal so we don't take a whole coachload of people. in fact, weonly take up to fifteen people on this tour, although we do run itwith just twelve or thirteen.CUSTOMER: Oh, right. So do you run these tours often? RECEPTIONIST: Well it depends on the time of year. Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend, but at themoment it's usually once a month at most.CUSTOMER: And when is the next one going?RECEPTIONIST: Mmm, let me see. Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the2nd.CUSTOMER: All right, and is April a good time to go?RECEPTIONIST: Pretty good. Though the really good time is later in the year. I haveto say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many thingsoffered.C: Really?R: Yes.The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities. It's called The Pallisades.C: The Paris what?R: No, it's actually The Pallisades, P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S. It's right on the main beach there.C: Oh, I see.R: All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too.C: Oh right.C: And what about the other things? You know, that are included in the price.R: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the nationalpark near the hotel, and there's no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That'san extra $12 I think. And there's also a reptile park in town - that costs more orless the same.C: No, I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.R: Yeah. And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to payfor those by the hour. But there are table tennis tables downstairs and they're partof the accommodation package. Just speak to your guide.C: Well that sounds good. So how much is the basic tour price?R: At this time of year it's usually around $300 but let me check.Er...oh, it's actually $280.C:And the next tour, are there any places on that one?R: HOW many people Is It for?C: These are two of us.R: Yes, that should be fine. Can I just mention that we require all bookings to bemade at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours. And ifyou cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50% of your totalbooking.C: OK.R: And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking.C: Can I pay that by credit card?R: Yes, you can.C: All right, what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.R: Fine. So I'll make a provisional booking, shall I? - two for the Whale Watch Experience. Let me issue you with a customer reference number for when you call back. Do you have a pen?C: Yes.R: OK, it's three nine seven, four five, T. That's T for tango. When you call back, ask to speak to the Tour Manager, that's me, Tracy.C: Fine, I willSECTION 2Hello and welcome to today's “Buyer Beware” programme, where we give you some tips on how to spend your money wisely. Now, in today's show we're looking at beds for children and babies. Let's start by looking at baby cots, that's for children of up to three years old. We tested three different cots all in the budget price range and, as usual, we will feature the good points, the problems and our verdict. The first cot we looked at was by Baby Safe and it had several good points to recommend it. Our testers liked the fact that it had four wheels, so it was easy to move around. The only slight problems with this cot were that it had no brakes, but they didn't think that mattered too much. At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar, because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it, but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of “satisfactory”. The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together - unlike others we looked at. On the minus side, our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down, making it difficult to pick up newborn babies. However, the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars; ourtesters found they were too wide and a baby could easily trap his head. We felt this was a real safety hazard and so we have labelled this one dangerous, I'm afraid.And finally better news for the Mother's Choice cot. This cot was slightly different in that, although the side bar did not drop down, the base could be raised or lowered into two different positions making it safe as well as convenient. The negatives for this one were quite minor; the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find, was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily become detached. The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice. As this cot will then be safe in every way, we have made the Mother's Choice cot our best buy. Congratulations Mother's Choice! So, what features should you look for in a baby's cot? Well obviously safety is a very important factor as well as comfort and convenience. We recommend that, if you are buying a cot, do make sure that any metal present is not rusted or bent in any way. You should ensure your cot has only rounded or smooth edging without any sharp edges, this is especially important for wooden cots. And now on to beds for toddlers ..SECTION 3ANDREW: Excuse me, I was told to come here for advice about, erm, Management Diploma courses?MONICA: You've certainly come to the right place. Hi, my name is Monica.A: Nice to meet you. My name is Andrew, Andrew Harris.M: So, Andrew, have you seen our diploma course prospectus yet?A: Yes, I've already looked at it. In fact, I thought the information on course content was really useful, but I'm afraid I'm a bit confused by all the different ways you can do the course: full-time intensive, part-time and so on.M: Well, let's see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on you - your own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the moment?A: Yes. I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for thelast three years. And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. So, I've got about five years of relevant work experience.And what I'm hoping to focus on is Personnel Management.M: I see. And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about just taking a year off?A: I want to know what my options are, really. I don't want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.M: Right, so you don't really want to do the full-time course, then?A: No, not really. It's also a question of finances. You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the Course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year.M: OK. Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course- that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work - or you could do what we call a 'modular' course. You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted - or longer, it's quite flexible and it would be up to you.A: Mmm. So what does the part-time course involve?M: For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week. Then, you'd have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.A: What kind of coursework would I have to do?M: Well, it's a mixture. You'd be expected to write an essay each month, which counts towards your final assessment. You have a case study to do by the end of the course, which might involve doing a survey or something like that, and also you need to hand in a short report every four weeks.A: So, that's quite a lot of work, then, on top of working every day. It sounds like a lot of studying - and really tiring.M: Yes, you certainly wouldn't have much free time!A: What about the 'modular' course? What would I have to do for that?M: That's where you get the opportunity to study full-time for short periods. That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day. And each module lasts for one term, say, about twelve weeks at a time. There are obvious advantages in this - the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way, which suits some people much better.A: And how many of these 'modules' would I have to do to get the diploma?M: The current programme is two modules - and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth - but you can base that on your job, and so you don't need to be away from the office, and how long it takes is up to you.A: The important thing is that you don't have to study and work. You can focus on one thing at a time.M: Yes, I can see that. It certainly sounds attractive! It would be more expensive, though. I mean, I'd have to support myself without pay for each module.A: That's true, so that might be a problem for you. Look, why don't you talk this over with your employers and ...SECTION 4OK, so we've been looking at the attitudes of various social and cultural groups towards the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, and what they save their money for. One aspect that we haven't yet considered is gender. So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and women have different attitudes towards saving money, and whether they save money for different things: Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that A man is supposed to understand polities, economics and finance and is therefore unwilling to accept essential instruction.' lie also said, 'A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn'. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the assumptions contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite fundamental differences between men and women in their attitudes toeconomic matters. Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's education and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household budget in North America. But the other main priority for men when saving money is their retirement. When they're earning, they're far more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are. Now this is rather disturbing, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for nursing care, because they don't have a spouse to look after them. Furthermore the high divorce rates in North America are creating a poverty cycle for women. It is the divorced women who will most often have to look after the children and thus they need more money to look. after not just themselves but others. So what can be done about this situation? The population in North America is likely to contain an increasing number of elderly women. The research indicates that at present for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of course this is the very worst time for anyone to make important decisions. Women today need to look ahead, think ahead - not wait until they're under pressure. Even women in their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of confidence. The best way for them to overcome this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people's advice. A number of initiatives have been set up to help them do this. This College, for example, is one of the educational institutions which offers night classes in Money Management, and increasing numbers of women are enrolling on such courses. Here, they can be given advice ondifferent ways of saving. Many women are unwilling to invest in stocks and shares, for instance, but these can be extremely profitable. It is usually advised that at least 70% of a person's savings should be in low-risk investments but for the rest, financial advisors often advise taking some well-informed risks. Initiatives such as this can give women the economic skills and knowledge they need for a comfortable, independent retirement. The increasing proportion of elderly women in the population is likely to have other economic consequences...TEST 2Section 1LIBRARIAN: Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you?MAN: I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.L: Are you a student at North College?M: No, I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn't.L: That's right, it is. Are you over 18? That's our minimum joining age.M: Yes, I am.L: That's no problem then.M: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?L: Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You'll also need to bring two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving licence would be fine.M: I've got that and what else? A credit card?L: No, it needs to have your address on it.M: Shall I bring a bank statement,, would that do?L: That'll be fine.M: Good. Does it cost anything to join?L: Well, it's free for students here but otherwise it's £125 per year or £25 if you've gota current student card from another college.M: I was at Westerly College until last year but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory. Er, it's more expensive than I thought. My local library is free.L: But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students. That's why you have to pay to be an external member.M: I see. How many books can I borrow?L: We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student, and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos. However, it's only eight items for members of the public.M: Fine. And how long can I have them for?L: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn't bad really.M: And what happens if I return them late?L: Like all libraries there's a fine system in place. The minimum fine is £1.50 but it can be much higher for some items - up to £5 per week. WWe'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join. You can always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.M: What about the computers? Can I use them free of charge?L: For college students it's free, but for external members like yourself, the first hour is free and then we make a nominal charge of £ 1 per hour thereafter.M: Do I have to book in advance for them?L: Oh, yes, it's advisable. Most people tend to book twenty-four hours in advance although sometimes you can get one with only six hours' notice. However, the earliest you can book a computer is forty-eight hours before you need it, and you can only book one hour at a time. If no-one else has booked the computer out, then you may be able to have another hour if you want. We have a wide range of databases, so the computers are in great demand.M: I'm thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers. Do you have them on these databases?LI: We do indeed. We've got all the big nationals, The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times. We've also got all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines.M: Excellent. I assume you have photocopying facilities?L: Of course. 5p a sheet for both A4 and A3 black-and-white copies and 40p a sheet for colour. You can get a card from the counter here - it doesn't take coins.M: OK. Oh by the way, another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?L: We do, but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that. He's our resident author. He runs the creative writing classes.M: John ... Grant .... Could you spell that for me please?L: Certainly.G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A-M.M: Are the classes here at the library?L: Yes - he's here on Thursday evenings, oh no sorry, Friday - he's just changed it.You can contact him by emailing the library.M: Okay. Right, well that's about all I need to know. Thank you. I'll be along later this week to join. Thanks. Bye.SECTION 2My name's Dan Pearman and I'd like to talk about the work of Pedal Power, a small charity based mainly in the UK. I'll be giving our contact details at the end, if anyone would like to find out more about how to support us.But first, how the charity began. I got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while I was in Ecuador. I went there in 1993 just after graduating from university. After three years of studying, I wanted adventure. I loved travelling, so I decided to join a voluntary organisation and was sent to Ecuador to carry out land surveys. The project came to an end after five years and when I returned to the UK in 1998, I started planning Pedal Power.Where I lived in Ecuador was a very rural area. My neighbour had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. My neighbour's business was unusually successful, and for years I couldn't understand why. Then I realised having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble. Other localcarpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as my neighbour.At Pedal Power, we collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When we distribute bikes overseas we don't give them away for free. We'd like to, but long term that doesn't really help the local economy The demand for bikes is enormous, which makes them very expensive locally So we sell them for 5% of the normal price. But in order to continue operating we need to have a constant supply of bikes which we send out every six months.One example of a own that's received bicycles from Pedal Power is Rivas. It was the first place I sent a full container of bicycles to. Most people there now own a bicycle. The local economy has developed so much, you wouldn't recognise it as the same place. In fact, there are more bikes than on the streets of Amsterdam, if you've ever been there.But Pedal Power still needs your help. You may have read about some of our recent problems in the British media. In August 2000, we simply ran out of money. We had containers of bikes ready to send, but no money to pay the bills. It was a terrible situation. We managed to ensure the bikes went out on time, but the other problems carried on for several months.Fortunately in October 2001 we won an Enterprise Award which helped us enormously. We invested fifteen of the seventy-five-thousand-pound prize money to help secure our future. Winning the award helped raise our profile, and the money enabled us to pay all our shipping costs, which represent our greatest expense. Pedal Power changes lives - when someone gets a bicycle from us, they see a 14% increase in their income. We're currently looking to invest in computers so that our office staff can do an even better job. Because of our work, people in a number of countries now have a better standard of living - so far we've provided 46,000 people with bikes. Butwe'd like to send more, at least 50,000 by the end of the year.Now there are many ways in which you can support the work. of Pedal Power, not just by taking a bike to a collection in your area. I should also like to say if you do have a bike to donate, it doesn't matter what condition it's in - if we can't repair it, we'll strip it down for spare parts. Of course, to do that we always need tools, which are expensive to buy, so we welcome any that you can give. Also, you could help by contacting the voluntary staff at our offices, they'll be able to suggest activities you could organise to bring in funds for us. People do all kinds of things - including, of course, s d bike rides. Also, we're always interested to hear of other places that would benefit from receiving a consignment of bikes, and welcome suggestions from people who've been to developing regions on their travels. We hope that by talking on radio programmes like this, we will be able to raise public awareness, which will lead to government organisations also giving us regular financial support, something that we really need.If you'd like some more information about where to donate an old bicycle or offer help in other ways please contact us on ...SECTION 3TUTOR: First of ail I'd just like to say, Cristina and Ibrahim, that I really enjoyed watching your video about student life last week, and I could see that therest of the group did too. You did really well, and I hope that you got a lotout of it. I'd like to use this tutorial as a feedback session, where you reflecton the experience of doing the project. So Cristina, I was wondering, whatdid you enjoy most about making the video?CRISTINA: I liked using the camera.T: Is it the first time you've operated one like that?C: Yes, it is.T: Well the results were very good! Anything else?C: I also enjoyed visiting one of the British students we filmed. I'd never been inside a British home before.T: OK Cristina, thanks. What about you, Ibrahim? What did you enjoy?I : Well for me it was a very good chance to get to know students who are on othercourses, because everyone in our group is studying English, and we don't usually have much to do with the rest of the college.T: Yes, good. Do you think you'll maintain the contact now?I: I hope so. I've invited three of them to have dinner with me next week.T: Great! If you haven't decided what to make yet I can tell you they'll love trying Arab dishes. And of course, it's good for your English too. Cristina, what did you find? What was the most useful aspect of the project from the point of view of the English practice?C: I think, when we were being shown how to edit the film, we had to follow the instructions. And that was very good practice for me. And I also learnedsometechnical words that I hadn't heard before.T: What about you Ibrahim? What was the most useful for your English?I: It was listening to the British students, because they don't speak as slowly as most of the tutors on our course. I think they speak at natural speed, so it forces me to get used to it. And they use a lot of slang.T: So you learned some new words which will be useful?I: Yes. TUTOR: Good. I'm glad it helped. Well, we've talked a little bit about enjoyment, and about language practice. Were there any other benefits? What else did you feel you'd learnt from the project? Was it useful in other ways?C: Yes, well firstly, I learned how to use a video camera. And also, I think I really learned a lot about working together with other people. I've never done anything with a group before, and we had to find ways of cooperating, erm, andcompromising, and sometimes persuading people, when they don't agree with you. T: Yes, that is a very useful experience, I know. TUTOR: What about you, Ibrahim? I: Well, I think I learnt a lot about how important editing is. When you're filmingyouthink that everything's going to be interesting, but in fact we cut around half of it in the end, and then it was much better.T: Good. Well, one last thing I'd like to ask. What mistakes do you think you, as a group that is, made? I mean, to put it another way, if you had to do it all over again, is there anything you'd do differently?C: We didn't plan very well. For example, we didn't decide on dates when we'dcomplete each separate step of the project, and we should have agreed about that in the beginning, because we were always late with everything!T: Right. Anything else?C: I think we should have tried to experiment more with the camera. I mean with angles, and the focus and that kind of thing.T: So you should have been more ambitious? Do you agree, Ibrahim?I: Not really. In fact, I think we were too ambitious. We were inexperienced, and we didn't have a lot of time, and we tried to do too much, to make a lone film. Next time I would make a shorter one and try to get quality better.T: Well, that's very interesting. Next semester we will anther video project - with a different content, of course - but you'll have an opportunity to put into practice what you've learnt this time. Do you have any ideas about...SECTION 4Tonight I'm going to talk to you about that remarkable continent Antarctica - remote, hostile and at present uninhabited on a permanent basis. For early explorers, it was the ultimate survival contest; for researchers like me, it remains a place of great intellectual challenge; while for the modern tourist, it's simply a wilderness of great beautyFirst, some facts and figures. Antarctica is a place of extremes - the highest, coldest and windiest continent and over fifty-eight times the size of the UK. The ice-cap contains almost 70% of the world's fresh water and 90% of its ice, but with very low。

Mrs. Prig, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He's only ten. ‘ she said, ‘I 've been told tha well. ‘“ Well, as you can guess, I wasn't too happy.

He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten. Oh, so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner —in twenty-eight minutes.“ David Prig, a name to remember.

LIBRARIAN: Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you? MAN: I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.LIBRARIAN: Are you a student at North College?MAN: No, I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn't.LIBRARIAN: That's right, it is. Are you over 18? That's our minimum joining age. MAN: Yes, I am.LIBRARIAN: That's no problem then.MAN: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?LIBRARIAN: Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You'll also need to bring two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving licence would be fine.MAN: I've got that and what else? A credit card?LIBRARIAN: No, it needs to have your address on it.MAN: Shall I bring a bank statement,, would that do?LIBRARIAN: That'll be fine.MAN: Good. Does it cost anything to join?LIBRARIAN: Well, it's free for students here but otherwise it's £125 per year or £25 if you've got a current student card from another college.MAN: I was at Westerly College until last year but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory. Er, it's more expensive than I thought. My local library is free. LIBRARIAN: But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students. That's why you have to pay to be an external member.MAN: I see. How many books can I borrow?LIBRARIAN: We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student, and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos. However, it's only eight items for members of the public.MAN: Fine. And how long can I have them for?LIBRARIAN: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn't bad really.MAN: And what happens if I return them late?LIBRARIAN: Like all libraries there's a fine system in place. The minimum fine is £1.50 but it can be much higher for some items - up to £5 per week. We'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join. You can always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.MAN: What about the computers? Can I use them free of charge?LIBRARIAN: For college students it's free, but for external members like yourself, the first hour is free and then we make a nominal charge of £ 1 per hour thereafter. MAN: Do I have to book in advance for them?LIBRARIAN: Oh, yes, it's advisable. Most people tend to book twenty-four hours in advance although sometimes you can get one with only six hours' notice. However,the earliest you can book a computer is forty-eight hours before you need it, and you can only book one hour at a time. If no-one else has booked the computer out, then you may be able to have another hour if you want. We have a wide range of databases, so the computers are in great demand.MAN: I'm thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers. Do you have them on these databases?LIBRARIAN: We do indeed. We've got all the big nationals, The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times. We've also got all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines.MAN: Excellent. I assume you have photocopying facilities?LIBRARIAN: Of course. 5p a sheet for both A4 and A3 black-and-white copies and 40p a sheet for colour. You can get a card from the counter here - it doesn't take coins.MAN:OK. Oh by the way, another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?LIBRARIAN:We do, but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that. He's our resident author. He runs the creative writing classes.MAN: John ... Grant .... Could you spell that for me please?LIBRARIAN: Certainly.G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A-M.MAN: Are the classes here at the library?LIBRARIAN:Yes - he's here on Thursday evenings, oh no sorry, Friday - he's just changed it. You can contact him by emailing the library.MAN:Okay. Right, well that's about all I need to know. Thank you. I'll be alonglater this week to join. Thanks.
