Part II Listening and Note-Taking Well, in January it can be very cold with snow everywhere! But high in the mountains the sky is usually blue, and it’s warm enough to
have lunch outside. You should bring warm clothes and some strong waterproof shoes.
Most people go skiing every weekend, and if there’s no snow you can still go walking in the mountains. A lot of the towns are very pretty. They look exactly the same today as they did four hundred years ago!
You must try fondue, which is cheese melted in a pot, and you put pieces of bread on a long fork to get it out…mm! It’s very, very good.
If the weather’s good, you can go for a boat trip on the lake. Then you can really see how beautiful the mountains are!
Exercise:
Location: a mountainous area Climate: cold in winter
Tourist attractions: skiing, walking in the mountains, pretty towns of four hundred years old, a boat trip in the lake
Food: fondue
Things needed for travelling there: warm clothes, strong waterproof shoes
Section Two Listening Comprehension
Part 1 Dialogues Dialogue 1 Job
A journalist is interviewing Mr. Williams about his job. Journalist: What’s your job, Mr. Williams? Mr. Williams: I’m a writer.
Journalist: That’s interesting. What sort of thing do you write? Mr. Williams: Well, um, articles for newspapers and magazines, er… film reviews, you know, um, and occasionally some fictions, poems, and short stories.
Journalist: Do you find it a very demanding job?
Mr. Williams: (Sigh) Well, yes and no. It’s very nice to work at home, of course, and, and have the choice of when to work. But I long hours at home, usually ten hours or more a day, and it’s very lonely sometimes, sitting in front of a typewriter.
Journalist: What are you working on at the moment?
Mr. Williams: Well, actually I’m doing something very different from my usual work. I’m writing a biography of Leonard Benson, the jazz musician.
Journalist: So I suppose you’re spending a lot of time together.
Mr. Williams: (Laugh) Well, no, in fact. He lives in the States. I’m doing a lot of research, naturally. He’s visiting this country at the moment, and I have an appointment with him, but we haven’t met very often.
Journalist: Well, thank you, Mr. Williams. That was very interesting and good luck with the book.
Mr. Williams: Not at all. Exercise A:
1. What is Mr. Williams’s job? He is a writer.
2. What does he usually write?
He usually writes articles for newspapers and magazines. 3. What is he writing now?
He is writing a biography of a jazz musician. Exercise B:
1. F Mr. Williams works for a newspaper. (He works at home.) 2. __F_ He often writes some fictions, poems and short stories too. (He occasionally writes some fictions, poems and short stories.)
3. __T_ He is interested in films. (Yes. Because he writes film reviews for the newspapers and magazines.)
4. __T__ He works hard. (Yes, it’s a demanding job. Sometimes he works long hours.)
5. __T__ He gets to know the jazz musician by reading articles. (He has done a lot of research work to write the biography. Possibly he has read many articles about him.)
Dialogue 2 Women’s Work?
Interviewer: Careers officers around the country are reporting that more women are applying for jobs which have traditionally been held by men. This morning I am speaking to Jane Richards, a schools careers officer based in London. Good morning, Jane.
Jane: Good morning.
Interviewer: Jane, are you finding that women’s career choices are changing?
Jane: Yes, I am.
Interviewer: And why do you think that’s happening?
Jane: Well, there are many reasons. A very important one is the media, radio and television. Girls see a popular young actress playing a car mechanic, for example, and this makes them think – well, wh
y not? Why couldn’t I become a car mechanic, or a plumber, or an electrician? Erm, another reason is that careers officers, like myself are trying very hard to make both sexes aware of all the job options, including the non-traditional ones.
Interviewer: And what do you mean by non-traditional? Jane: Well, non-traditional job choices for women, for example, would be things like plumbing and car mechanics. For men, housekeeping would be quite a non-traditional career choice.
Interviewer: Yes, I see. But er, isn’t it true that most girls still choose stereotyped jobs? For example, a survey of Scottish school-leavers showed that 75% of girls still choose traditional women’s jobs like nursing, clerical work or working in shops.
Jane: Yes, that’s true, and of course I’m not saying that things are changing overnight. But athey are changing.
Interviewer: Why is it so important, do you think, that people change their attitudes?
Jane: Because, at the moment, there are fewer and fewer children leaving school in Britain. This means that we’re going to need women more and more in the work force. But women are not going to be qualified unless attitudes – both men’s and women’s – change dram
atically. At the moment, the change isn’t big or fast enough, and in some cases Britain is seriously lagging behind other countries…
Exercise A:
Jobs traditionally held by men A car mechanic An electrician A plumber Exercise B:
1. __T___ The media has played an important role in women’s career choices. (A very important one is the media, radio and television.)
2. __F___ Careers officers have persuaded most girls to choose non-traditional jobs. (Most firls still choose stereotyped jobs.)
3. ___T__ Probably there has been a sharp drop in birth rate in the past two decades. (Yes. Because, at the moment, there are fewer and fewer children leaving school in Britain.)
4. F More women are needed to do jobs traditionally done by men probably because the new jobs are more suitable for men. (Mor
Jobs traditionally held by women Clerical work Housekeeping Nursing Working in shops e women are needed to do jobs traditionally done by men probably because there is a shortage of workforce on the whole.)
5. T It seems that the British women and men are more conservative than the women and men in other countries. (Because at the moment, the change isn’t big or fast enough, and in some cases Britain is seriously lagging behind other countries.)
Part 2 Passages Passage Cycling accidents
Cycling accidents often happen because children are allowed out on the roads before they’re really ready. After all, it takes time to learn to ride a bike safely, and riding safely means much more than just staying on. For example, a child must be able to turn and look behind, and do hand signals without wobbling. And at the same time as handling the bike safely, the child must be able to cope with the roads and traffic.
How to prevent accidents? Make sure that your child’s bike has the right size of frame and that the saddle and handlebars are correctly adjusted. When sitting on the saddle, a child’s feet should comfortably touch the ground and hands must be able to work the brake levers. Make sure children can ride safely and can cope with roads and traffic before you let them out along. As a general rule, children und
er nine years old should never be allowed out or the roads on a bike alone. An adult should always be with them.
Encourage your child to go in for a Cycling Proficiency Test. You can get details of courses from your Road Safety Officer at your local authority. Look in your telephone directory for the local authority number. But remember that these courses are often fun in school playgrounds, so it’s important to make sure that what’s learnt is then put into practice on the roads. Make sure that your child understands road signs.
Explain, for example, that “crossroads” does not mean “cross the road”. Words like “one-way street” and “traffic island” can also be difficult for children to understand. Make sure that your child wears reflective clothing when out on a bike, especially in the dark or in bad weather. For night-time riding, lights must be working and reflectors must be clean.
Bicycle maintenance can be life-saving. It’s up to parents to check their children’s bikes regularly and get repairs done properly. Teach your child, too, to check brakes and lights regularly.

People have begun voting in a special election to decide whether Australia should and its constitutional ties with Britain and become a republic. Recent studies of public opinion show that most Australians want to end the constitutional ties, but they may vote against the change.

Section Three Oral Work Part 1 Questions and Answers Sam and Joe, the shipwrecked sailors, have been on their desert island for many months. Joe is sitting near the bonfire they have built for a distress signal in case a ship should pass. Suddenly, Sam comes running.
Sam: Joe. Joe. Light the bonfire. A ship. Joe: At last. Where is it?
Sam: To the east of the island. Sailing westward, but right on the horizon. Hurry, or it’ll have gone before we’ve even lit the fire.
Joe: There you are. Now it’s burning. As soon as it’s burning properly we’ll throw these wet leaves on to it. That’ll make plenty of smoke to signal with.
Sam: What do you think they’ll do when they see the signals? Joe: They’ll turn around, of course. Sam: Let’s throw the leaves on now.
Joe: Right. That’s splendid. (Coughing) There’s certainly plenty of smoke. I’ll start signaling.
Sam: They aren’t altering course at all.
Joe: Too soon. Once they realize we’re signaling, they’ll alter course all right.
Sam: How long will you go on signaling? Joe: Until they answer. (Ship’s siren)
Joe: There. They’ve seen us.
Sam: Yes, they are beginning to alter course. Joe: They’re coming. We’re saved. Sam: Joe.
Joe: What’s the matter?
Sam: Now it comes to the point, I don’t think I want to be rescued.
Joe: Don’t be ridiculous! Think of your wife.
Sam: I am doing. The minute I get home, she’ll start complaining again.
Joe: You’re too soft with her, Sam. When you get back, you mustn’t let her have so much of her own way.
Sam: It’s easy to talk. We must be mad, wanting to be rescued. Plenty of people pay a fortune for holidays like this. Sunshine all the time…
Joe: Well, you know what? Sam: What?
Joe: After we’ve made our fortunes, we’ll come back with our wives and children and have a real family holiday.
Key to Exercises:

Part 2 Retelling Bill and Simone Butler, a couple from New York, spent six days in a life-raft in the seas of Central America after their yacht sank. Three weeks after they left Panama, they met some sharks, which hit the side of the boat until it sank. Bill and Simon had two life-rafts, so they jumped into the bigger one.
For twenty days they had tins of food, fruit, and bottles of water. They caught fish every day and cooked it in different ways. Then they lost the line, but Bill managed to catch fish in cup.
One or two ships passed them, but no one stopped. Then suddenly a fishing boat saw them, and Bill and Simone jumped into it. The captain of the boat took them to Panama. Their drama was over.
Section Four Supplementary Exercises Part 1 Listening Comprehension Passages 1 Hidden Passengers
Hidden passengers traveling in ships, trains, or even cars can be a terrible nuisance especially when they are insects. In this respect there is a great difference between human beings and insects. The former make every possible effort to avoid discovery, while the latter quickly attention to themselves.
We can only sympathize with the unfortunate man who had to stop his car soon after setting out from a country village to drive to London. Hearing a strange noise from the back of the car, he naturally got out to have a look. He examined the wheels carefully but as he found nothing wrong, he continued his way. The noise began almost immediately and now it was louder than ever. Quickly turning his head, the man saw what appeared to be a great black cloud following the car. When he stopped at a village further on, he was told that a queen bee must be hiddern in his car as there were thousands of bees nearby.
On learning this, the man realized that the only way to escape would be to drive away as quickly as possible. After an hour’s hard driving, he arrived in London where he parked his car outside a hotel and went in to have a drink. It was not long before a customer who had seen him arrive hurried in to inform him that his car was covered with bees. The poor motorist telephoned the police and explained what had happened. The police decided that the best way to deal with the situation would be to call a beekeeper. In a short time, the beekeeper arrived. He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car. Very grateful to the motorist for his unexpected gift, the keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box. Equally grateful, the motorist drove away in peace, at last free from the “black cloud” which had hung over his car.

Passage 2 The Difference Between a College and a University
People attend a college or a university to continue their education after high school. This prepares them for work. It also provides them with a greater understanding of the world and its past. And it helps them value the arts and sciences.
Students usually attend a college for four years and gain a bachelor’s degree. College generally do not support research or offer graduate degrees. Universities usually are much larger than colleges. Universities carry out research. And they offer several kinds of degrees in many areas of study.
They offer bachelor’s degree after four years of study. Universities also offer graduate degree that require additional years of study, such as a mater’s degree and a doctoral degree. Modern universities developed from those of the Middle Ages. They took their name from the Latin word “universitas.” It meant a group of people organized for one purpose.
The first European colleges were groups of students who came together because of the same interests. In England, colleges were formed to provide them with living places. Usually each group was studying the same thing, so the word “college” came to mean one area of study.
Most American colleges today teach an area of study call liberal arts. The liberal arts were subjects first developed and taught in ancient Greece. They trained a person’s mind. They were considered different from subjects that were useful in life.
The word “college” also means a part of a university that teaches one area of study. That is because the first American universities divided their studies into many areas and called each one a college. An example would be “Teachers College” of Columbia University in New York City. It is the part of Columbia University that prepares people to be teachers. The university includes many other colleges too, like those that teach medicine and law.
Exercise A:
1. Higher education prepares teenagers for work. It also provides them with a greater understanding of the world and its past and it helps them value the arts and sciences.
2. Students usually attend a college for four years.
3. Graduate degrees include mater’s degree and doctoral degrees.
Exercise B: College small not supporting research University Big carrying out research offering bachelor’s degree but offering bachelor’s degree as well do not offer graduate degrees as graduate degrees teaching one area of study teaching many areas of study The word “college” means one The word “university” means a groarea of study or a part of a univup of people organized for one purersity. Part 2 Oral Work What's the most popular book in the world today? Maybe it's the Guinness Book of World Records. Between 1955 and 1981, it sold 42 million copies printed in 23 different languages. Since then sales have continued at the rate of 60,000 copies a week.
What's in the Guinness Book that attracts so many readers? It tells about people, animals, places, things, and events that are (or were) the most, the least the best, the worst, the fastest, and the rarest. Much of the information seems unbelievable.
The Guinness Book covers sports, art, business, mechanics, and many other subjects. It's fun to read for almost anyone at any time, any place.
