[00:00.00]Unit 9 Exericse 9 and 10,
[00:03.06]the reporter is finding out what the members of the public think about the good news the debate,
[00:09.29]answer the questions in your students book.
[00:12.42]INT:Excuse me,sir.I'm doing a survey on behalf of local radio.
[00:18.11]Would you mind telling me what you think about the good news,bad news debate?
[00:22.07]MAN:Not at all,you mean that Martyn Lewis thing,I suppose?
[00:25.56]INT:Yes,that's right.
[00:26.64]MAN:Actually,I think he has got a point.
[00:29.70]Well,it's all rather depressing really,isn't it?
[00:32.87]The new I mean.Martyn Lewis is right about all the bad news that seems to be on TV all the time.
[00:39.17]I think there should be more,you know,happy,em,optimistic things.
[00:44.39]INT:Can you give me an example?
[00:46.19]MAN:Well,for instance,in my village--it's just small you know--but a group of people,
[00:51.12]mostly schoolchildren,raised ￡10,000 for a maternity hospital,but nobody came to report that.
[00:57.60]Yet when there was a hold up at the bank,
[01:00.73]you know when it was robbed,the place was full of reporters....
[01:03.54]INT:So what you're saying is that there should be a focus on the positive rather than the negative.
[01:08.94]MAN:Yes,and to a certain extent it's up to you,
[01:12.25]you know,radio and TV journalists,to select these items.
[01:16.21]8.Listen and answer the questions in your students book.
[01:21.79]Get in!
[01:23.45]We have reason to believe that you have been in that cafe with a stolen camera.
[01:29.93]If my mother sees you,you'll be in terrible trouble.
[01:34.07]Can we drop you back where we first found you,sir?
[01:38.21]11.Listen to these messages and make notes.
[01:43.68]This is the'Retina'photographic agency.
[01:46.63]There is nobody here to answer your call at the moment but we will contact you as soon as the office re-opens on Monday
[01:54.19]Please leave your message,with the date and the time of your call,
[01:58.62]after the beep,and please speak clearly.
[02:01.50]This is Maggie Page here with a message for Barry.
[02:05.46]I have to cancel the session on Wednesday,
[02:08.52]as the model we wanted to use is sick.I'll be in touch about a later date.
[02:13.63]2.Barry,this is Paul Ryan.Can we do the Vermini fashion shoot in Jamaica?
[02:20.29]We'd get just the right kind of light and colour.Let me know.
[02:25.15]3.This is for Michaela Brown from Jenny Lewis of the picture agency.
[02:29.76]Michaela,please don't send the pictures by post.
[02:33.36]Will you deliver them by hand?We'll pay the extra.Thanks.
[02:37.97]Hello.You know who this is.
[02:40.31]Those pictures you took of the meeting the other day,
[02:43.01]if you send them,you'll have a very bad accident!
[02:46.50]This is Mandy Stringer's secretary from Disco World.
[02:49.92]The photographs we need haven't arrived yet.Have you sent them?
[02:54

.13]If we don't get them by 12.00 on Monday,
[02:57.23]they won't get into this month's magazine.
[02:59.46]This is Julius Maxwell for Michaela Brown.Michaela.
[03:03.85]I'm not going to pay for the pictures you took last week.
[03:07.02]The lighting is all wrong.They look terrible and I'm afaid I just can't...
[03:11.16]2.Carole talks about her job.
[03:15.59]Listen and answer the questions in your students book.
[03:19.73]I think I enjoy the unpredictability of it.
[03:23.33]I think I enjoy the fact that even if I'm having a rather boring day in the office,
[03:27.90]things can happen very suddenly and I can be travelling somewhere halfway round the world.
[03:33.12]I think also you get,if you like,a front row seat on events which are shaping history,
[03:41.69]world events of enormous importance and a chance to actually be there
[03:48.06]when those events are happening and to talk to the people who are making history is,is an extraordinary opportunity.
[03:55.98]3.Carole describes the routine of making a news item.Listen and check your answers.
[04:05.45]Basically,the way we normally work is I will go out with a camera crew to film interviews,
[04:17.15]street scenes,pictures of the disaster,
[04:20.28]pictures of people shooting at one another,whatever it may be.
[04:23.41]We take the pictures back and I'll work with an editor and record my voice track;
[04:30.65]the editor will put together the pictures,
[04:33.42]perhaps an excerpt of an interview and that basic process is the same whether
[04:39.54]I'm reporting on a British Rail story in London or a war anywhere overseas.
[04:47.46]4.Carole talks about the'art'of reporting.
[04:52.61]Well,the difficulties vary according to what the story is and where the story is.
[04:59.09]Often it's a case of battling against the authorities who don't want you to find out what you want to find out.
[05:06.72]I think that to avoid bias what you have to do is to stand back a little bit,
[05:13.99]to try and approach everything that anybody says to you with a certain degree of scepticism,
[05:23.03]and to try wherever possible to check it out and to get the other point of view,
[05:28.25]and not to necessarily believe everything people tell you,
[05:32.57]to always be aware that they may very well have a,
[05:36.67]a hidden agenda behind what they're telling you and they may be exaggerating,
[05:41.64]em,something for a　political reason.
[05:44.63]6.Listen to Carole's report about the crash of a cargo plane close to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.
[05:53.88]Answer the questions in your students book.
[05:56.87]Workers at the site of the crash found the flight data recorder buried
[06:01.51]beneath the collapsed concrete of the apartment block.
[06:04.14]It is severely damaged and burned and has been taken to the Farnborough
[06:07.74]Accident Investigation Centre to be examined by specialists.
[06:11.34]The cargo plane's full load of fuel kept the huge fire burning her

e for
[06:16.13]three hours--the flight date recorder is designed to withstand only about half an hour of intense heat.'
[06:22.03]One senior Dutch air traffic controller had plotted the entire route of the plane.
[06:31.25]He was able to tell me at exactly what time the pilot had maydayed the emergency,
[06:39.24]he told me exactly the advice he'd given to the pilot,
[06:44.57]he told me what the pilot had done to try to avert the crash
[06:48.85]and he told me why the plane had actually crashed where it had.
[06:53.21]Air traffic controllers have already given crash investigators
[06:57.06]some details of that final flight,number LY 1862,which lasted less than 15 minutes.
[07:03.36]At 6,000 feet as it headed out along the coast,
[07:07.97]the pilot put out a mayday call reporting fire in the number 3 engine.
[07:10.13]The radar map charts his downward spiral,
[07:13.08]circling twice as he struggled to control the plane.'
[07:16.21]The mayor gave a press conference and we asked why,
[07:21.18]for example,initially the death toll had been put at,in excess of 200,
[07:26.29]it was later revised to about 80 and the mayor said that it was
[07:30.90]because it was very difficult to have accurate records in that area
[07:35.04]where there was a large and partly illegal immigrant community.
[07:39.72]Unit 10 2.Margaret Green talks about the tastes of British people.
[07:45.95]Listen and answer the questions in your students book.
[07:50.23]MARIA:So,is it true,Margaret,that English people prefer old things to new ones?
[07:56.89]MARGARET:I suppose so.The English are very fond of traditions
[08:02.04]and institutions like the monarchy.
[08:04.49]MARIA:I wasn't really thinking about that,
[08:06.97]I was thinking more about houses and objects and things.
[08:10.79]MARGARET:Ah,right,sorry.Well,
[08:13.49]I suppose it depends what kind of old thing you are talking about.
[08:17.23]I think it's true,by and large,that English people would always prefer
[08:21.48]to live in an old house with an established garden than somewhere newer.
[08:25.98]I'll never forget when I lived abroad once I happened to tell someone
[08:30.48]that I lived in a house that was over a hundred years old and the other person's reaction was'Oh,poor you,'
[08:38.22]whereas it was actually something I was quite proud of.
[08:42.11]Yes,on the whole I think that the English do prefer older things.
[08:47.40]They'd rather have antique or good second-hand furniture than something modern.
[08:52.55]MARIA:Why do you think that is the case?
[08:54.78]MARGARET:Well,for a start,
[08:56.04]a lot of people feel that old stuff was much better made than its modern equivalent;
[09:01.26]it also goes better with older style houses.
[09:04.86]They think that lots of modern furniture is poorly made and,quite frankly,rubbish.
[09:10.98]MARIA:And does this extend to other things?Like cars for instance?
[09:16.31]MARGARET:Oh no,not really,not unless you're talking ab

out a car which has become a classic,
[09:21.89]you know a vintage Rover or MG.
[09:25.13]No,quite the reverse is true.
[09:28.19]In England people have an unhealthy obsession with the registration number of their car.
[09:33.73]MARIA:What do you mean?
[09:35.10]MARGARET:Well,in August of each year there's a new letter before the number on the registration plate.
[09:40.32]For example,my car is an M registration,which means it was made in 1994.
[09:46.37]There's a lot of snobbery attached to having really recent letter on your number plate!
[09:51.95]Probably the first thing an English person would do if they had a lot of money
[09:56.45]would be to buy a brand new car and drive it round so that everyone could see it!
[10:01.56]MARIA:That's strange.
[10:04.19]But there's something else I really wanted to ask you.
[10:07.43]It's rather sensitive actually,
[10:10.31]I've noticed that English people tend to wear old-fashioned and sometimes rather scruffy clothes.
[10:17.29]This would be impossible in my country.
[10:20.39]MARGARET:Hm.Yes,I suppose you're right.
[10:23.09]English people generally don't care that much about fashion.
[10:27.66]Some people are even quite proud of the fact
[10:30.11]that they find their clothes in second-hand shops and jumble sales!
[10:34.07]I guess that this is mainly because in England what really counts
[10:39.43]is not what you wear but your background and your social class.
[10:43.93]You know,in some countries you might be judged by how much money you have and the way you dress.
[10:49.37]While this is,of course,true of England too,
[10:52.50]people think of education and background as being more,you know,important.
[10:58.08]It's more important to speak with the right kind of accent
[11:02.04]and read the right newspaper than to wear smart and fashionable clothes.
[11:07.15]This means you can get someone who's really quite well-off dressed like a tramp in someone else's hand-me-downs
[11:14.64]7.Listen to Mark assessing the painting.
[11:20.76]Complete the details in your students book then answer the questions.
[11:25.62]Well,the first impression is wonderful.
[11:28.61]Erm,it's by this artist called Rubens Santoro who's an Italian artist and,
[11:35.99]I think he was born in the 1850s and he died in Naples in 1942.
[11:43.37]He specialised really on these sort of architectural views and here
[11:46.68]we have I think a beautiful view of Venice
[11:51.11]and I have to say it is one of the nicest I've seen for a long time.
[11:53.23]What I like particularly is the little blob of red there and the flowers there and the yellow there,
[11:59.57]it's wonderfully colourful and I think it's commercial,
[12:03.24]not only for Italians but also Americans or anybody
[12:06.41]who's been on holiday to Venice.It just sums it up beautifully.
[12:09.43]Have you ever sort of wondered what it might be worth?
[12:11.63]VICTORIA:No,I have no idea.I was hoping you could tell me.
[12:14.47]MA

RK:Well,there have been a number on the market and
[12:17.75]I would expect this could make at least eight to twelve thousand pounds.
[12:21.89]VICTORIA:Really?
[12:22.75]MARK:Could,could make more,if we can get the right Italians and Americans in,
[12:26.10]em,possibly...sort of up to twenty thousand pounds.
[12:29.34]MARK:But it's a wonderful picture and so unexpected to see...
[12:32.33]10.Mark explains how he knows the painting is genuine.
[12:38.45]VICTORIA:How can you tell that it's authentic?
[12:42.23]MARK:Well,there are a number of reasons.First of all the style is absolutely typical,and the quality is all there,
[12:47.81]I mean this is quite a difficult picture to copy because it's so sort of intricate.
[12:51.95]But perhaps more importantly,is this signature here,
[12:55.80]and if you look through the magnifying glass,
[12:57.89]you can see that the signature very much is part of the picture,
[13:01.74]it's not sort of on top of the varnish and this is a good indication.
[13:05.88]If it hadn't been right,
[13:07.97]I'm afraid its value would have been considerably less.
[13:11.64]You could have sold it as a decorative piece but that brings the value down to perhaps one thousand pounds.
[13:16.86]VICTORIA:So what's the next step?
[13:18.95]MARK:Well if you wanted us to sell it for you,
[13:21.11]we would include it in our next important sale of nineteenth century pictures in three months time,
[13:25.61]and our terms would be ten per cent commission plus various
[13:28.67]other charges including photograph and insurance charges.
[13:32.63]11.Listen to Mark talking about the actual auction and answer the questions in your students book.
[13:42.06]The pace is quite quick.Em,if it's too slow,people get bored.
[13:48.18]And I think we do between sixty and a hundred lots an hour which is a pretty fast pace.
[13:54.01]And so we tend to start the sales at about 11 o'clock in the morning and they should be over by lunchtime.
[13:59.99]12.Listen to the final part of the interview.
[14:05.82]If you find a picture,
[14:07.62]or any antique which you're not certain of or indeed you don't know its value,
[14:14.21]do bring it into us.I think a lot of people are frightened
[14:17.23]about coming into Christie's or indeed coming into any sort of establishment,they don't want to appear foolish.
[14:26.59]But you must come in because if you don't ask,
[14:30.37]you'll never know whether the picture on the wall or in the attic is valuable.
[14:35.45]You should buy what you like and if you enjoy it,
[14:38.51]then you're lucky and if it goes up in value,you're even luckier.
[14:42.25]10.Natacha Tessier is talking about a Russian samovar.Listen and make notes.
[14:51.65]Well,a family heirloom--you say?Mmm...I suppose the only thing we have is this thing here.
[14:59.93]It's a samovar;my family,my great grandmother brought it to France,
[15:06.37]to Paris in 1918 just after the revolution in Russia.
[15:10.73]She had

lots of other things but the family had to sell them because they were so poor.
[15:16.49]Anyway,as you can see,it's made of silver,so I suppose it is fairly valuable.
[15:22.75]In fact a family legend says that it was made from silver coins which one of my ancestors melted down.
[15:31.43]It is plain with a tap at the front and a handle on each side.
[15:38.23]Nowadays,we use it as an ornament and a way of reminding ourselves where we came from.
[15:45.18]In the old days they used to boil water in the samovar and have a small teapot on the top with very strong tea.
[15:53.21]So what they did was to put the strong tea into glasses
[15:57.49]and add hot water with a slice of lemon...and lots of sugar of course--or even raspberry jam...
[16:05.45]3.Listen and find out who the people are and what they have done.
[16:13.26]Well,the gentleman on the motor cycle is Arthur Cook,
[16:16.97]who is Britain's oldest motor cyclist.
[16:18.95]He goes for a ride each day,even though he is 93.
[16:23.52]Don Watkins,the one who is hanging in the air,
[16:26.69]is just doing his first bungee jump at the age of 78.
[16:30.65]Charlie Henbury decided that it was getting too dangerous for old people,
[16:35.65]with there being lots of muggers around,so he decided to take up karate.
[16:40.01]At the age of 81 he got his black belt and regularly defeats
[16:44.33]people young enough to be his great grandchildren.
[16:47.21]The lady amongst them is the author Mary Wesley,
[16:50.99]who published her first novel when she was a mere 70.
[16:54.41]Unit 11 3.Listen and find out what is different about Mike.
[17:01.43]I play wheelchair tennis,I'm a nationally ranked wheelchair tennis player.
[17:06.65]I travel all around the nation playing wheelchair tennis.
[17:10.50]I play wheelchair basketball,
[17:13.92]we travel around the nation playing wheelchair basketball.
[17:17.34]Wheelchair basketball is just like college basketball,
[17:21.48]we use the same rules that they use.We use a standard basketball court.
[17:26.09]Wheelchair sports is designed to keep the essence of the sport
[17:30.77]so you're playing the same sport that you were before.
[17:33.83]I'm a scuba diver.
[17:35.41]I take a yearly trip to Bonayre in the Netherlands Antilles to scuba dive.
[17:41.82]A lot of quadriplegics go scuba diving.
[17:48.77]They may not even be able to brush their teeth in the morning but they can scuba dive.
[17:52.69]It takes you out of your wheelchair and it frees you from gravity and allows you to roam as an able-bodied person.
[18:06.84]4.Mike now works with other disabled people.
[18:13.79]Listen and answer the questions in your students book.
[18:18.00]Well,St,David's,em,is a rehabilitation centre for people who have,
[18:23.22]who have had injuries and who are getting rehabilitated to get back into everyday life and back to the community.
[18:31.57]Wheelchair sports is based under therapeutic recreation.
[18:34.81]It's getting people bac

k to what they did before in life.
[18:37.98]I run a fitness centre for people with disabilities,
[18:41.69]it's specifically designed for people with disabilities--it's one of three in the country.
[18:45.90]I set people up with individualised weight-training programmes to increase their strength more functionally,
[18:53.57]to get them more independent in life--the key to independence once you're disabled is strength.
[18:59.51]7.Listen to Mike's account of the incident,answer questions in your students book.
[19:08.04]I walked towards him,held up my hands and said,you know,
[19:11.10]"Hey,what's the matter?"and he pulled a 357 and,and as I turned to run,
[19:15.96]I thinking the whole time that he was not going to shoot me,he did shoot me.
[19:22.80]While I was on the ground he shot at me again.I lifted up-
[19:27.23]I was instantly paralysed-I lifted up and the next bullet went underneath me.
[19:31.73]Em,I dragged myself behind the car and then he just...he laughed and drove off.
[19:37.92]Em,he's serving twenty years for attempted murder in Huntsville,which is a penitentiary here in Texas.
[19:44.87]8.Listen and answer questions in your students book.
[19:52.43]There's a lot of things that you miss.
[19:55.74]But then I didn't know all the opportunities that were open to me at the time and I,
[20:00.89]I basically had to re-invent the wheel.
[20:04.31]There were other people doing the same thing I was doing out there
[20:07.62]but they were at different parts of the country.
[20:10.03]I had to learn everything by myself,I had to,em learn how to drive,I had to...
[20:16.37]all the resources and things that were available,
[20:18.42]there was nothing standard,em,there was no information available,
[20:24.36]so I had to go out there and find all this information and so now
[20:27.78]I want to be there for somebody,I want to be a resource for these people,
[20:32.17]so once they get hurt they don't have to go through what I did,
[20:34.87]they don't have to go through six or seven years of not knowing all this different information.
[20:39.84]I want to catch them right when they,
[20:42.83]when they get here to the rehabilitation centre and tell them,
[20:45.71]to,to show them films of people doing great things,achieving things,
[20:50.75]so that they can set their sights early in life,once they're hurt,
[20:54.85]and not have to go through that deep depression that I went through.
[20:58.13]I mean I'm sure they're still going to go through depression but I don't want it to be as bad as mine was.
[21:04.57]Exercises 9 and 10 listen to three friends discussing the Ayalas'situation.
[21:12.06]Answer the questions in your students book.
[21:15.01]CARMEN:Well,I really don't know what to think about all of this.
[21:20.41]Er,I mean,it's difficult,isn't it?
[21:24.84]BAZ:Um...Yes.But don't you think,
[21:28.26]if you were her parents then I think you'd want to do anything to help your child,
[21:33.12]wouldn't yo

u?I think you would...
[21:35.21]CARMEN:Yes,but what about the baby...I mean,
[21:39.38]it seems to me that her feelings weren't taken into account at all.
[21:43.13]DELIA:Yes...They're--the parents-they're going to have to be really careful about um,
[21:48.24]about,well,telling her why she was born when she gets a bit older...
[21:53.21]CARMEN:Yeah,but then again,it could make her feel really special,couldn't it?
[21:58.75]I mean,she will be unique,
[22:01.45]it's not many children who have the chance to save someone else's life.
[22:05.34]DELIA:I suppose so,but where does it all end?
[22:08.87]BAZ:Um,I know what you mean.It's an ethical thing,
[22:12.54]isn't it?Can you really,you know,interfere with nature...
[22:17.51]it seems to be that our power to um,you know,to do things in,
[22:23.34]em,medicine is far greater now than our ability to,em...
[22:28.74]DELIA:...deal with the moral questions?
[22:30.54]CARMEN:Mmm...that's right...But all the same,
[22:34.86]the baby,isn't she going to think,they didn't want me...,
[22:40.08]do you see what I mean?They just wanted a spare part,you know,like for a car?
