Part I
B
Man: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was
twenty-five — a lot later than most people
go. When I left school, I went straight out
to work: I worked as a clerk in a small
office. My father criticized me, I
remember, for not going on studying while
I had the chance, but I wanted to earn
myself some money. Anyway, that job
didn’t last long because I had to go into
the army when I was twenty. I stayed in
for five years. I don’t know what good my
university course did because I’m
unemployed now. Oh, I know I got a job
when I finished my university course — I
was twenty-nine then — but it didn’t last
long. Well, I never really thought I would
enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m
unemployed now and looking for
something else.

Interviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one.
Interviewer: and what is your profession? Sergio: I’m an accountant.
Interviewer: Are you married?
Sergio: Yes, I’m married.
Interviewer: Does your wife work?
Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher. Interviewer: Could you tell me about your last job? Who did you work for?
Sergio: Um. I worked for a chemical company near Milan.
Interviewer: How long did you work there? Sergio: Um, for fourteen years.
Interviewer: How did you lose your job? Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed?
Sergio: Um, for about 6 months.
Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age.
Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty.
Interviewer: So how do you spend your days? Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see
something interesting I apply. Interviewer: Any luck so far?
Sergio: Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people?
Sergio: Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying
psychology.
Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do?
Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear
about jobs and so on. They often have
useful information.
Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency?
Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books.
Interviewer: So how much time do you spend looking for a job?
Sergio: Oh, about ten, fifteen hours per week. The rest of time I do housework and other things.
Interviewer: Are you optimistic?
Sergio: Yes. But I really don’t want to leave Milan.
Interviewer: I see. Thank you.

Interviewer: You mean you’ve been studying? Christine: Oh no, I’ve been doing a job to earn money.
Interviewer: And have you made your fortune yet?
Christine: Hardly! But I haven’t done too badly.
I’ve been getting about £70 a week,
plus my meals and my
accommodation, so I’ve earned over
£500 and I’ve managed to save
most of it.
Interviewer: That sounds pretty good. What kind of work have you been doing exactly? Christine: I’ve been working in a hotel. Interviewer: What, as a waitress?
Christine: No. I’ve been helping in the kitchen most of the time —washing and
peeling vegetables, preparing breakfast
trays, washing up — that sort of thing. Interviewer: And have you been enjoying it? Or has it been rather boring?
Christine: No, it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve found it quite interesting here, in fact. Not so
much the work itself, but the people
I’ve got to know and the friends I’ve
made, and I’ve managed to do lots of
things in my spare time too. It’s a
seaside town, so there’s been quite a lot
going on in the evenings — you know,
dancing, bowling, cinemas, and so on
— and on my afternoons off I’ve been
doing quite a bit of sunbathing and
swimming.
Interviewer: Yes, I can see you’ve got quite brown. You’ve obviously been having
some reasonable weather here. Now
what about Kevin here? Kevin, you’ve
managed to get a fantastic suntan. How
have you been spending your time here?
Have you been doing a holiday job? Kevin: Yes, I’ve been working down on the beach. I like an outdoor job. I’ve been
mostly hiring out deck chairs —you
know, going round collecting the money,
but I’ve also been selling papers. Interviewer: And have you earned a lot of money?
Kevin: Not a lot. I came here for a cheap holiday more than anything else. My brother’s
the one who’s been making money this
summer.
Interviewer: Has he been working here in
Brighton too?
Kevin: No, he’s in Italy working as a courier for
a travel firm. He’s been taking
Americans round Italy on coach tours
and having a fantastic time. And one of
them has invited him to go and work in
America next summer.
Interviewer: Lucky him!

My Idea of Hell:
1st speaker: I think my idea of hell would be, to be, to have a job where I had to do the
same thing over and over again like
somebody working in a factory just
picking up one thing from one place and
putting it into another and this just going
on and on, day in and day out, if it was
that kind of job I would just go mad...
2nd speaker: Well, I think the thing I would least like to do given an option of anything
in the world would be to be the guy who
sits in a nuclear power station watching
for it to start melting down, you know, the
guys who sit there in front of those, that’s
just you know it’s a revolting thing
anyway but can you imagine the boredom
and the responsibility at the same time, it
would just be completely terrible, I’d hate
that.
3rd speaker: I think, I think the job I ... I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing
it is to be work as the killing person in an
abattoir. (I don’t actually think I would
be capable of doing it: to work as the
killing person in an abattoir.) I think that
would be my, my, er, it’s self-explanatory
why I couldn’t do it. I th...I can’t imagine
how people actually do it. I met somebody
once who erm was one of the people that
went into erm er a chicken battery and
they’d spend all night they were only
working night shift and just kill chickens
and and I just couldn’t comprehend how
they managed to do that and how they
stayed sane. That would be the worst thing.
I think it’d be torture in more ways than
one...
My Idea of Heaven:
1st speaker: On the other hand it would be wonderful to have a job where you are
paid a lot of money and you could travel to
different countries —someone like a
television reporter or an archaeologist or
an anthropologist. I mean those are the
exciting kinds of jobs I’d like to have ... I
can’t pinpoint one but it has to be a job
where I can travel and see different
countries and have time to actually stay in
those countries and learn a little about
those countries and visit exciting places.
2nd speaker: What would I like to do? Well I guess probably the best job in the world
would be to play for the New York Mets.
You can’t beat that... you just can’t beat
that... third baseman for the New Youk
Mets. The Mets? Oh they’re a baseball
team... best baseball team in the world.
3rd speaker: To choose another sort of job that I would really like. I would very much like
to be a photographer, erm because it
would give me an opportunity to work
with people but at the same time be
independent still and that’s the thing that
I always need. I need to be independent,
be able to work on my own and be
amongst other people, very much like you,
I think, that I have to have other contact
but like to get on with wha... with my own
thing.
Part Ⅳ
1st speaker:…er … well, we don’t actually open till 9:30… er…I mean I have to be there at
8:45 because there’s lots to do beforehand.
Um…I think what I like about it is I like
meeting…meeting people, or rather
dealing with people, because we’re really
stuck behind that glass thing. Um... we
used to have microphones and used them
to speak to people, but they decided it was
too impersonal so they changed it back.
Um...you know, I like dealing with people
like I said, it’s surprising, you know how
varied the work is really. Well, a lot of it is
routine, of course, but there’s still
something unexpected every day. You
never know who’s going to walk in and
come up to your... er ... position. Er... yeah,
I do like handling money and I like the
responsibility and the feeling that the
customers trust you because you are
dealing with their money and their
livelihood. Er... but what I don’t like is the
way people can be rude or angry about
little things that aren’t my fault. It’s
usually because they’ve made a mistake
themselves and they aren’t prepared to
admit it. I mean it’s up to them to check if
they’ve got enough to cover a cheque if
they write it, isn’t it really?
2nd speaker: well, every day is different. I mean, some days I spend hours on end meeting
with clients, trying to find out exactly what
they want or I try to persuade them that
our ideas will work. Now, you see, we’re
very rarely given a free hand by clients. A
lot of time, well yes, a lot of time is spent
on research. You see, we have to do all the
viewing and ...and the readership figures.
We do our own surveys to find out what a
cross-section of people think. Of course it’s
not just what they think. I mean, people
can say "Yes, that’s great. I...I found it
really amusing and so on", but what
counts is: Does it sell the goods? Now, if we
don’t show a rise in sales then we lose a
client, it’s as simple as that. Still, what I
enjoy most is really the creative side. Now,
ideas, you know, they come to you
everywhere at the most unexpected times.
In fact, the best idea I ever had came to me
when I was in the bath and I just jumped
straight out, I got on the phone to the
client. You know, I was... usually we... we
have what we call brainstorming sessions
in the office, so the best ideas are usually
the result of teamwork. That’s what makes
a good agency-a team of individuals who
can work both alone and together. It takes
a special sort of person. Now, the biggest
drawback of the work is that you stand or
fall by results. If your ideas are drying up
of if you make an expensive mistake, then
you get the sack. There’s always that
hanging over you — it’s always worrying. Part V
David: Hi, you’re listening to Radio Southwest.
The best in the Southwest from music
along to the minute news. Sue is here.
Hello, Sue.
Sue: Hello, David.
David: And we’ve got a job spot for you today, so if you are unemployed and looking for a
new job, this could be a spot for you. So
let’s have a look and see what we’ve got
today. How about a hairdresser? You must
be experienced for this job and the pay
will be agreed. So that will depend on
experience. The hours are 8:30 to 5
Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1
p.m. So that’s hours 8:30 to 5 Monday to
Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 p.m. a
hairdresser. How about you Sue? What
have you got?
Sue: Right, David. Well, the first one we’ve got is a cook. That’s in a large busy restaurant.
So it’s very useful to have experience in
large scale cooking. The age is around 25
or so and pays 2 pounds an hour. So that’s
not bad, isn’t it? (Mum) The hours are
good, too. That’s Monday to Friday 3 to
6:30.
David: Great. Thanks Sue. So that’s a cook.
Now how do you fancy working out of
doors? How do you fancy being a
gardener? There is no age restrictions on
this job. So as long as you’re fit and strong,
any age and it’ll suit you. If you are keen
on gardening, this could be a great job.
The pay is 1 pound 70 an hour, and the
hours: Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5.
Sunday you have to work once a month.
But the bonus is on Monday. The garden
centre’s closed. Now the third work you
would be doing is a general assistant in a
garden centre. Potting, watering, things
like that. So if you’ve got green fingers,
how about applying for that pay 1 pound
70 an hour? Sue, what else have you got? Sue: Right, David. From outdoors to indoors,
we’ve got a short-hand typist job here.
That’s in an office. And this job may suit a
woman with school-age children. Because
the hours are only 15 hours a week. The
age is twenty to fortyish and the pay
depends on the age. It’s a small friendly
office, but there is experience of course.
The accuracy is more important than the
experience. So they go. That’s a nice
short-hand typist job in an office. David: Great. Here is a job possibly to somebody who is a school leaver. It says:
requires no experience at all but training
will be given on the job. And pay is 67
pounds a week. What’s the job? Hm, it’s a
shop assistant in a busy supermarket. It’s
a full time job, but the big thing is you
don’t need any experience. So if you’re
just leaving school, and fancy working in
the supermarket, try that. You get one day
off during a week and you must work one
late evening to 9:30 p.m. OK, that’s a shop
assistant. Well, if you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on job spot at Radio Southwest and now back to the music.

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.

Part2 listening and Note-taking Reading
B: When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the ins and outs of reading letters to form words.
If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child deserves to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be "bored" when joining a class of non-readers at infant school is the teacher's affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.
Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic*. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought.
Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labelling various items in their room. For instance, by a nice piece

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. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Part2 Listening and Note-talking Driving Carefully
Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about, particularly in crowded shopping streets, when you see a bus stopped, or near a parked mobile shop. Watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them.
Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured are either under fifteen or over sixty. The young and elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them. Give them, and the infirm, or blind, or disabled people, plenty of time to cross the road.
Drive slowly near schools, and look out for children getting on or off school buses. Stop when signalled to do so by a school crossing patrol showing a Stop-Children sign. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream then in traffic.
When coming to a zebra crossing. be ready to slow down or stop to let people cross. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing. Signal to other drivers that you mean to slow down or stop. Give yourself more time to slow down or stop on wet or icy roads. Never overtake just before a zebra crossing.
Exercise A: 1. Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about. 2. Three out of four pedestrians killed are either under fifteen or over sixty. 3. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream
than in traffic. 4. When coming to a zebra crossing, be ready to slow down or stop to let people
cross. 5. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing.
Exercise B:
Directions: In this section, you will hear several conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. A: How are you getting along, Julie B: After the vacation Much refreshed. A.It is interesting. B.It is tiring. C.It is exciting. D.It is refreshing. A: Why are you so cheerful while I'm so stressed all day B: Well, you should work off your stress. A.work not so hard B.work on easier problems C.eat healthy D.get rid of her stress I see you laughing all the time. B: Oh Eric. I'm ... reading a comic book. A: Comic book I didn't know you are interested in it. B: Well, it's a recent interest. When I was low in spirit three months ago, a friend gave me a comic book to read. And I became instantly addicted to such books. You know ... the pictures are so funny ... now I feel much better. A: I didn't know that. No wonder you are always in good spirits these days. B: Yes, and maybe you should read them, too, Eric. A: I ... I don't know. I'm just too busy with my thesis. It's for my master's degree and time is running out ... Ah, pretty much stress on me. B: Now you see Eric That's why you need to give yourself a break to read something amusing. It helps, I promise. A: Really Can reading comic books reduce your stress B: Of course.

Part 2 Listening and Note-Taking Mountain Rescue Service / When an accident is reported to the Mountain Rescue Service the first thing that happens is that the person who reports the accident is closely questioned. The rescue group needs to find out a number of details. First, they need to know exactly where the accident happened, with a map reference if possible. Then they will want to know the time of the accident. They will also need to know how many people were involved in the accident and what kind of injuries there were. Finally, they will ask for other useful details, such as the colour of the victim's clothing and the weather conditions. Then the rescue team's call-out procedure begins. Team members keep their personal equipment at home so as to be ready to set off within fifteen minutes of receiving the call. The advance party of about four people sets off right away.

By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs. As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984. So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog's legs from India cost about £, compared with £for the French variety. Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring damaging
