You’re going to be a brilliant lawyer.KateThat’s the plan –I’m off to a law firm soon as I get my degree.JanetYou’re so lucky. I wish I knew what I wanted to do.KateDidn’t you say something about teaching? JanetYes, I’m thinking about it. I’m quite attracted to teaching. But I’m not really sure yet.KateWell, you’ve got lots of time. What about you, Mark? What are your plans?MarkI’m going to row for England.KateSeriously?MarkNo. Problem is, I think if you want to be successful, you’ve got to plan ahead –starting at the age of 12.JanetSo we’re not doing very well. MarkNo.KateSo?MarkWell …I’m thinking of going into business management. It’s a possibility.JanetReally?MarkYes.Kate Hey, let’s go to the Careers Fair. It might give you some ideas.…JanetIt was very interesting, wasn’t it? You were having a long conversation with that man from the law firm.KateYes. They said there’s a possibility of a job placement as an intern over the summer. They’re going to let me know about it.

When?KateTwo weeks’time ……InterviewerSo what made you decide to study law, Kate? KateA number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I’ve got a good brain, a good memory. And I’d certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money’s good.InterviewerWell, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV’s very good. I seem to remember that you only want the work placement for six weeks. Is that right?KateYes, it is.InterviewerWhy is that?KateWell, to be honest, I’m planning to go back to the States and spend time with my family. InterviewerThat’s understandable. Now, tell me, what questions do you have?KateI’ve got some idea but obviously, what I’d like to know is, what does the job involve? InterviewerOf course.

AOutside viewVoice-overEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. V olunteers learn to solve problems,work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. V olunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.1. 17 to 252. 100 people3.

So what can I do for you?Speaker 2Well, next year’s my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to do?Speaker 2I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic. Speaker 1That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editor?Speaker 2That’s right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature.For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports. Speaker 2I’m not very sporty.Speaker 1Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea.Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I start?Speaker 1First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CV and you’ll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2I’ll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing, sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those. Speaker 2 Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do. Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.1.The five pieces of advice he career adviser gives the student are 1,2,4,7 and 82.1. The woman is to take her second year exams.2. She wants to do literary editing.3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing.Passage2HarrySo how was your first day of teaching, Lucy? LucyIt was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be.HarryWell done!LucyYes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.JessicaIt’s extraordinary, isn’t it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover wedon’t know anything.LucyHow long have you been teaching, Jessica? JessicaJust over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really –the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time.PatrickSo you’re teaching English because you want to travel?JessicaYes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.PatrickI feel the same. So what do you want to do next?JessicaMarketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then –I hope –get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the plan.PatrickSounds good.HarryWhat about you, Patrick? Where have you worked?PatrickI did three years in Italy –Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn, Harry. HarryWell, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.JessicaYou don’t see teaching English as a career? HarryWell, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.LucyWhich countries have you been to, Harry? HarryI did a year’s teaching in Brazil –Rio de Janeiro –such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.PatrickCool. And then?HarryTwo years in Mexico City …JessicaYou should be a travel writer.HarryI’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.LucyGreat!HarryWell, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, Lucy?LucyUm - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it’s great to be in Italy.

Do you know it?Janet ：I’ve heard of it, yes, but I’ve never read it. It’s a 19th century children’s story, isn’t it?Kate ：That’s right. It’s very famous. It’s set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl’s family on this river bank.Janet ：Oh, that’s fascinating! I’ll put it into my diary.Kate ：Is that what you’re writing? I know you’ve been keeping a diary all the year. Janet It’s been a great year. I’ve had such a good time –so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I’ve been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet：My screen’s gone dark.Mark ：You’re using the battery, remember. It’s run out, obviously.Janet ：It can’t be the battery. It’s still charged. Oh no it’s still black. Oh dear, I hope it’s nothing serious. I haven’t backed anything up recently.Kate ：That’s not like you, Janet.Janet ：I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I’ve lost everything!Mark ：Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working …I think it has to be the graphics card …But maybe that’s not the problem …Janet ：If only I’d backed things up!KateRelax, Janet!

KateI tell you what, I’ll read it to you.KateAlice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,”thought Alice “without pictures or conversation?”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) …JanetKate, Mark, where are you going? You’ve got my laptop!KateIt’s all right, Janet, we’re taking it to the computer shop. We’ll be back soon.MarkIt’s not like Janet to forget to back up her work.KateShe should have been more careful.JanetIt was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! JanetOh! It was a dream! What a relief!KateYou were talking in your sleep.JanetWhat was I saying?Kate“Stupid, stupid.”MarkI’ve sorted out your computer.JanetHave you? Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem?MarkIt was the graphics card, as I predicted …JanetIs that what it was! I’m so relieved! Thanks, Mark.KateHe’s great, isn’t he?Janet ：Yes.

However, we’re going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world’s biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing “superjumbo”. The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built in France, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with 154 planes ordered by the world’s airlines, thebig question was: “Will it fly at all?”On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.Topics mentioned are: 1, 3, 5, 6 and 82.1.France2. China3. Britain4.

CListening inPassage1PresenterCould technological advances be changing people’s identities –and possibly even society as a whole? That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel. Greenfield suggests that advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I’m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital. Let’s begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains work?BrianWell, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other –billions of connections –and store information. We all have basically the same brain structure. It’s what we do with our brain that makes the difference. We take in information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it. So to some extent, it’s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are –and that’s what we call our identity.JaneAnd if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in their identity.PresenterWhy exactly?JaneBecause the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may be changing our sense of reality –what we see as real –and may even reduce it. And if this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behaviour.PresenterCan you give an example?JaneRisk-taking is a good example –we may start taking more risks.BrianBut she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.JaneThat’s true.BrianI agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behave differently –we need much more researchbefore we can accept this.2.1. presenter2.

Aren’t they more trouble than they’re worth?Speaker 2I think that’s one of the stupidest questions I’ve ever heard!Speaker 1I thought you might say that.Speaker 2Of course we need computers. How can anyone say otherwise? They’ve revolutionized our lives. I mean, I don’t know where to begin, they’ve changed our lives so much. Look. To start with, computers mean we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world almost instantly.Speaker 1That’s not quite true.Speaker2Well, you know what I mean. I can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes. If I want to conference with people there’s webcam –we can see each other on camera –do you really want me to go on? Speaker 1 But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minutes? What does it actually achieve?Speaker 2It speeds things up. I don’t have to put the document in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and go to the post office, stand in a queue …knowing it will take another three days to get there –at least.Speaker 1But why the hurry?Speaker 2It’s good to get things done quickly. Speaker 1Why?Speaker 2Because you get more done that way. Speaker 1But is that really necessarily better? Life moves so fast these days, don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more? Speaker 2I think computers allow us to enjoy life more. Before we had computers if you wanted to research you had to go out and get a book. That took such a long time.Speaker 1So what? We just did things more slowly, that’s all. Are you saying we have more time now than we did? Everyone says that actually life is moving faster and faster. And what about all the problems that computers create? Speaker 2For example?Speaker 1Identity theft is a big one. You have to admit that identify theft has increased massively since we got the Internet.Speaker 2The Internet isn’t the only reason why identity theft has increased.Speaker 1You know as well as I do that it’s a big reason …Speaker 2Yes, but …6.1. Do we really need computer?2. Of course we need computers- they’ve revolutionized our lives3.We can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes; we can use webcam to conference with people who are far away.4.

I’m quite attracted to teaching. But I’m not really sure yet.KateWell, you’ve got lots of time. What about you, Mark? What are your plans?MarkI’m going to row for England.KateSeriously?MarkNo. Problem is, I think if you want to be successful, you’ve got toplan ahead –starting at the age of 12.JanetSo we’re not doing very well.MarkNo.KateSo?MarkWell …I’m thinking of going into business management. It’s a possibility.JanetReally?MarkYes.Kate Hey, let’s go to the Careers Fair. It might give you some ideas.…JanetIt was very interesting, wasn’t it? You were having a long conversation with that man from the law firm. Kate Yes. They said there’s a possibility of a job placement as an intern over the summer.

When? KateTwo weeks’time ……InterviewerSo what made you decide to study law, Kate?KateA number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I’ve got a good brain, a good memory. And I’d certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money’s good. InterviewerWell, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV’s very good. I seem to remember that you only want the work placement for six weeks. Is that right?Kate Yes, it is.InterviewerWhy is that?KateWell, to be honest, I’m planning to go back to the States and spend time with my family. InterviewerThat’s understandable. Now, tell me, what questions do you have? KateI’ve got some idea but obviously, what I’d like to know is, what does the job involve? InterviewerOf course. Well, for the first few weeks, your main responsibility would be to read files and summarize them. We’d also want you to do some research for us. How does that sound? Rather boring?KateNo, not at all. I think I’dlearn a lot.InterviewerGood, well …you’ll be taking your first year exams soon, won’t you?

Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going tomake bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.1. 17 to 252. 100 people3.

Speaker 2Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it’s all go at the moment. Speaker 1It’s not going to ease up! So what can I do for you? Speaker 2Well, next year’s my final year and I need to thinkseriously about my career.Speaker 1I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to do? Speaker 2I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic.Speaker 1That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editor? Speaker 2That’s right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature. For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports. Speaker 2I’m not very sporty. Speaker 1Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea. Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I start?Speaker 1First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CVand you’ll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates. Speaker 2I’ll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing, sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those.Speaker 2Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.1.The five pieces of advice he career adviser givesthe student are 1,2,4,7 and 82.1. The woman is to take her second year exams.2. She wants to do literary editing.3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing. Passage2HarrySo how was your first day of teaching, Lucy?LucyIt was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be. HarryWell done!LucyYes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.JessicaIt’s extraordinary, isn’t it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover we don’t know anything. LucyHow long have you been teaching, Jessica?JessicaJust over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really –the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time. PatrickSo you’re teaching English because you want to travel?JessicaYes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.PatrickI feel the same. So what do you want to do next? JessicaMarketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then –I hope –get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the plan. PatrickSounds good.HarryWhat about you, Patrick? Where have you worked? PatrickI did three years in Italy –Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn, Harry.HarryWell, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.JessicaYou don’t see teaching English as a career? HarryWell, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.LucyWhich countries have you been to, Harry? HarryI did a year’s teaching in Brazil –Rio de Janeiro –such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.PatrickCool. And then?HarryTwo years in Mexico City …JessicaYou should be a travel writer.HarryI’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.LucyGreat!Harry Well, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, Lucy?LucyUm - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it’s great to be in Italy.

It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl’s family on this river bank.Janet ：Oh, that’s fascinating! I’ll put it into my diary.Kate ：Is that what you’re writing? I know you’ve been keeping a diary all the year. Janet It’s been a great year.

Oh no it’s still black. Oh dear, I hope it’s nothing serious. I haven’t backed anything up recently. Kate ：That’s not like you, Janet.Janet ：I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I’ve lost everything!Mark ：Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working …I think it has to be the graphics card …But maybe that’s not the problem …Janet ：If only I’d backed things up!KateRelax, Janet!

You’ve got my laptop!KateIt’s all right, Janet, we’re taking it to the computer shop.

The Internet is always open – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – and bargains can be numerous online. With a click of a mouse, you can buy an airline ticket, book a hotel, send flowers to a friend, or purchase your favorite fashions. But shopping on the Internet is a little different from checking out items at the mall. If you are buying items from an online retailer or auction website, here is my advice.Know whom you are dealing with. Anyone can set up a shop online under almost any name. Confirm the online seller’s physical address and phone number in case you hav e questions or problems.Know exactly what you are buying.Read the seller’s description of the product closely, especially the fine print.Know what it will cost. Check out websites that offer price comparisons and then, compare “apples” to “apples”. Fact or shipping into the total cost of the order.Check out the terms of the deal. Can you return the item for a full refund if you are not satisfied? If you return it, find out who pays the shipping costs, and when you will receive your order.Keep a paper trail. Print and save records of your online transactions, including the product description and price, the online receipt, and copies of every e-mail you send to or receive from the seller.I hope my advice can help to keep your online shopping experience a safe one.Listening IVExercise 1 ACDExercise 2 TFTFScript:On the rooftop over a supermarket in North London is a garden that could be a model of sustainability in cities everywhere.

The garden is the brainchild of Azul-Valerie Thome. “We’ve done a lot of experimentation to find which crop grows well, because it’s like a microclimate up here. It’s five degrees warmer; it’s more windy. You have to take all these into account.” This is the garden’s first year so there’s been a lot of trial and error, she says. They grow endangered species to increase th e seed pool, and waste from the supermarket downstairs is used for compost. “Our next stop is to put beehives here to encourage biodiversity.
