Outside view

Julie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes

here at Hertford College.

Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er,

studying modern languages at Somerville College.

Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest

English-speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions

which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport,

and with eating, for example.

Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and

it has its own

character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more liberal

and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some

specific traditions.

Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the

students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the

professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on

common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very

beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we

eat by

candlelight.

Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford

Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society

where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even

allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting

forum.

Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have

a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very

early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of

the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students

go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice.

Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights.

I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the

summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place

which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river. Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called

Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E.

gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a

white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or

black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub

fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations. Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old

institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For

example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required

according to the

university rules, to wear.

Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations.

And they wear different colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for

different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower,

and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take

your final examination you wear a red carnation.

Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and

carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all

that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.

Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um,

being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University.

Unit 2 Food for thought

Conversation 1

Kate: Oh, this looks nice.

Mark: Cool.

Waitress: Good afternoon, table for three? Come this way.

Mark: Let's have a look at the menu.

Mark: Thank you.

Janet: Thank you.

Waitress: The specials are on the board.

Kate: So, what sorts of food do you like, Janet?

Janet: Well, I like spicy food. And I'm not very fond of raw food! What would you recommend?

Mark: Why don't you try the chicken curry? That's nice and spicy.

Janet: What's in it?

Mark: Chicken cooked in tomatoes and onions with Indian spices.

Janet: I'll try it. Do we all choose a selection of dishes to share

or only one dish per person?

Mark: Usually one dish per person.

Kate: Or the moussaka looks good.

Janet: What's it made with?

Kate: It's made with lamb and eggplant. It's a Greek dish.

Janet: How is it cooked?

Kate: It's baked in the oven.

Janet: Mm, that sounds good too.

Kate: And as a starter?

Janet: What's minestrone soup?

Mark: It's an Italian soup with vegetables and pasta. It's delicious!

Janet: OK, I'll have that.

Kate: Waitress?

Waitress: What can I get for you?

Kate: Well, for the starter, can we have two minestrone soups, and

for the main course, one moussaka and one curry, please. What about you, Mark?

Mark: I'll have the prawns with garlic and the chilli con carne. And could you bring

us some water, please?

Waitress: OK.

Mark: Thank you.

Waitress: Thanks.

Janet: What's chilli con carne?

Mark: It's a spicy Mexican dish with beef and beans. It's very hot!

Conversation 2

Janet: That was great! Except I don't like cold water. I usually drink hot water.

Kate: Hot water? We never drink hot water except with tea. Let's have a dessert. What would you like, Janet?

Janet: Any suggestions?

Kate: Well, why don't you try the apple strudel? It's an Austrian dish. It's made with

apple, pastry and spices.

Janet: No, I'm not so keen on pastry. ...

hat's a chocolate brownie? W

Mark: It's a kind of chocolate cake.

Janet: How is it made?

Kate: It's made with flour, eggs and butter...

Mark: And lots of chocolate!

Kate: You'll love it.

Janet: What kind of ice cream is there?

Kate: I'll ask ... Excuse me ... What flavor ice cream do you have?

Waitress: Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.

Janet: I'll just have a fruit salad, I think.

Mark: And Kate, what are you going to have?

Kate: Same for me.

Mark: Could you bring us two fruit salads, and a chocolate brownie?

Waitress: Sure.

Unit 3 Learning to think

Inside view

Conversation 1

Mark Hi, what're you doing?

Janet Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper. Mark Let's have a look then.

Janet Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it.

Do you want to have a go?

Mark OK, might as well. I'm not busy.

Janet Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false".

Ready?

Mark Yea.

Janet OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?

Mark True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.

Janet You're right, exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent

of people have a visual memory.

Mark That sounds about right. True?

Janet No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory. Mark Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.

Janet Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to

remember things.

Mark That's true, obviously. I can't remember a thing when I'm tired. Janet Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve. Mark I'm not sure ... True?

Janet Actually, it's false.

Mark Oh!

Janet Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.

Mark I read something in The Times about that. True.

Janet True, it says here.

Mark Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going! Janet Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!

Conversation 2

Kate You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up?

Janet Well... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.

Kate You're telling me! There's so much work!

Janet It's not the amount of work - but everything's so different. In China, generally

we have large classes, we don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us

what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I

find it difficult.

Kate You have to memorize a lot, don't you?

Janet Yes, but I'm good at that.

Kate You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty

sometimes, I really do.

Janet Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in

critical thinking.

Kate What do you mean by critical thinking?

Janet Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it. Kate Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do. Janet I am getting better at it, I suppose.

Kate Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your

task is to examine it and then ask questions.

Janet OK.

Kate Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question! Janet Why do you say that?

Kate That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.

Janet Can you give an example of some research?

Kate Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.

Outside view

Part 1

Teacher Good morning, class.

Students Good morning.

Teacher What we're going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind

mapping. Now have any of you heard about mind maps before?

Students Yes ... No ...

Teacher Yes. Some of you have, some of you haven't. OK. Have any of you actually

used mind maps in the past?

Students No ...

Teacher No? OK. Who can tell me what a mind map is?

Student 1 It's a way of thinking.

Teacher It is a way of thinking. Mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate

ideas, and also to organize or structure our ideas related to a topic. What I'd like to

do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind maps. What are

some of the reasons for using mind maps?

Student 2 To make a list?

Teacher To make a list? Yes. We could say to brainstorm ideas. Everyone contributes

then-ideas as many ideas as quickly as possible, from everyone in a shorter time,

er, as, as we can manage. OK, brainstorming is one of the most important um, um,

uses of mind maps. What might be another use or another reason for using mind

maps?

Student 3 It can help me take notes in the class.

Teacher OK, for the note-taking, a very good reason. Mind maps help us to get an

overview or a, a quick understanding about a subject. By using mind maps to

collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, a very general

understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily and um, quickly.

What are some other uses of mind maps?

Student 4 Preparing for exams?

Teacher OK. Preparing for exams. That's a, a very good reason. We might call this, er,

revision. Before an exam, after having studied for many, many days

or even

weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general understanding about

the subject. Are there any other uses that you can think of for mind mapping? Student 5 We can also use it for finding answers.

Teacher For finding answers. That's, that's a very good, good answer. We could call

this problem-solving. We can use mind maps to, to see other possible alternatives,

or options to, to, to solve a problem. OK. Next, I'd like us to talk about some of

the advantages or the benefits of using mind maps instead of just writing

everything on a piece of paper. One of the most obvious advantages,

as you can

see, is that mind maps are very visual. They give us um, almost a picture, a, a

different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding

information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful

for people

who like to learn from a different way. Are there any other advantages that you

can think of for mind mapping?

Student 4 It lists the main points.

Teacher They do. They do list the main points. We could call this um, a quick

summary. As you can see, we have main ideas throughout our mind map, not long

texts. And in this way, it helps us to grasp the, the key ideas and the key

connections for mind maps or for our given subject. Are there any other

advantages you can think of?

Student 1 To think creatively.

Teacher To think creatively. That's, that's a very good point. We could call this

creative thinking. And what we mean here is basically thinking

outside of the box

or thinking laterally. Mind maps are illogical and by being

illogical they

encourage us to think creatively, you might say.

Part2

Teacher Next, I'd like us to think about aspects of design or constructing mind maps.

So far we have completed three quarters of our mind map about mind maps. And

then I'd just like you to have a look at this mind map and tell me what some of the

most noticeable or striking features are that we can talk about. Student 2 There is a centre.

Teacher There is a centre. There is what we call a central word, a central word or a

phrase. It might also be a sentence or a question. You might have

that in the

centre of the board and your related thoughts spiraling or radiating out. What else

do you notice about the design of this mind map?

Student 1 There are only words, not sentences.

Teacher Exactly. There are many what we call key words as they

capture the main

thought of, of an issue rather than a long sentence or, or a passage. This helps us

to concentrate on the main issues and find connections between these issues as

well. What other aspects of design do you notice here?

Student 5 It looks like a tree.

Teacher It does look like a tree because it has branches. By having branches, it shows

how, um, thinking is radiating out or spiraling out from key ideas

or central ideas

to key words to sub-words and, and so forth. Are there any other aspects of design

which you notice in this particular map?

Student 2 You used a lot of colours.

Teacher I did. I perhaps use too many colours. I have used different colour to show

the different key words or different aspects of mind mapping. You might like to

use different colours to highlight different sections of a mind map

or key

information. Or you may, you may choose to have it all in one colour. It's very

much a personal choice, depending on how you like to, to think and, and plan

your thinking. You might also like to use images or pictures related to some of the

key words. Or you might even use symbols. We'll put a question mark because

this again is a personal choice and how you like to design your mind maps. For

example, I might choose to use a thought bubble as a symbol, highlighting or

identifying my central phrase, mind maps. This could be a, a feature of my own

mind maps. Whenever I design a mind map, I highlight my central thought using

a speech bubble symbol.

Passage 1

Interviewer With us today is Martin Downes, a carpenter, who's 51. A year ago,

Martin had a stroke. But he's been lucky enough to make a full recovery from it.

Can you tell us how it all began, Martin?

Martin I'm very happy to - not that I remember much at all. I was at a customer's

house, building a cupboard, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital with

people in white coats bending over me.

Interviewer It must have been very frightening.

Martin It was. But what was really frightening was that I couldn't speak. I couldn't

say a word. And I couldn't understand much that people said to me. Interviewer How awful!

Martin Yeah! I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't had my

family. But they were there for me, they really were. I had something called

aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and

language. But they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. This

speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. They made

me do all these exercises.

Interviewer What kind of exercises?

Martin I had to match words and pictures and say their names. You see, I'd also

forgotten the names of a lot of things. She had this thing called a word board and I

could point to words and phrases on it that I wanted to say. I had to repeat words

up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.

Interviewer Could you say anything to begin with?

Martin I could say three words. "Hi", "Yes" and "No". That was all. And there were a

lot of words I couldn't understand -1 had to learn their meanings

all over again. Interviewer It must have been very frustrating.

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Mark: It was next to mine, you chained it up! Kate: Someone's stolen it! Oh, how could they! Mark: Oh, Kate! Kate: How could someone have done this! The creep! Mark: It's a really mean thing to do, steal a bike. Kate: It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune —I don't have the money to buy another one. Mark: Listen, I'll go down the street and see if I can see anyone with it. Why don't you go into that shop and see if they've seen anything suspicious? I'll be back in a minute. Kate: OK. Kate: Well? Ma rk: No luck. What did they say in the shop? Kate: I asked the shopkeeper if she'd seen anything — Mark: And? Kate: She said she hadn't. I guess it was a long shot. She advised me to report it to the police. But according to her, bikes get stolen all the time around here.

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. 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 K a te: 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. Ja net: 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! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice 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) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation.

Keys: 1D 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.C Task 2: Big John is coming! Script A bar owner in the Old West has just hired a timid bartender.
