I like this part of France very much but I think it's a shame that there are too many English people there. 54
  25. UNIT 5 Principal : Good morning, and welcome to Scholastic House. I am delighted to see you here. It is my duty to explain to you some of the history of our college and some of the traditions which I hope you will uphold. The idea for Scholastic House was expounded by Samuel Wells in 1898. Wells was a visionary, whose ideas were well ahead of his time. He wanted a college which would encourage friendship between people of different races and nationalities. Wells died in 1900 before he could see the college in action. Scholastic House finally began operating in 1903 with ten students. Those students came from Asia, Europe, and the Americas. At that time Scholastic House accepted only male students, although it has been co-educational since 1963. Nine of these foundation students went on to lead illustrious lives; the only exception died tragically on his way home from Scholastic House to Sarawak. He had only recently graduated with an honors degree in Law, and he was robbed of a brilliant future. The other nine students, as I said, led very fulfilling lives. Three became political leaders, three became doctors. Perhaps the most famous graduate became a university teacher and was responsible for the introduction of modern teaching training methods in his country. Two of the original group became senior engineers and went on to deeply influence the way the water systems of their country were exploited. The college ran into hard times during the period of the Great War, 1914 to 1918, when the charter of the college was interpreted to mean that neither students nor staff could take part in the war effort. Many people felt that this indicated a lack of national spirit, and the walls of the college were frequently marked with graffiti. Meantime, outside the college, tens of thousands of young men went away to fight in Europe, never to return. The college was building a reputation for learning and for tolerance of opposing views. Scholastic House debate and discussion nights were open to the public in 1927, and have been available to anyone who wishes to attend ever since. It is a proud tradition of the college that any view may be expressed provided that it can be defended intellectually. Over the years topics which were controversial at the time have been discussed and debated. 55
  26. UNIT 6 Student Adviser : Hello. My name's Dave Burns, and I'm here to tell you about the welcoming party we are having for new students. Unfortunately the information on your invitation is inaccurate. We didn't have enough time to print new invitations, so I'll have to ask you to make changes. To start with, this isn't a welcoming lunch : it's a dance party. However the next line is true. The party will be held at Blackwell House. Is everybody comfortable with that? The next line tells you when the party will be : Friday June 15th at 8 pm, but I have good news : the party will end at 11 pm. As a result of this later end to the party the bus will go later too, so it should read "Free transport to the student hostel is available leaving Blackwell House at 11.30." And of course other students may attend, and all students must have their student ID card with them. I hope you can come to the welcoming party. It's a really good way to get to know other students and to learn what it's like to live in this city and to study here. Just one final change : please let us know by Thursday if you can come. 56

  28. UNIT 8 Martha : Hello, John. Welcome to the house. I'm really pleased that you can be here to look after my house while I'm away. Here are something you need to know about the house. Important stuff like when the garbage is collected. In fact, let's start with the garbage, which is collected on Friday. Just write "Garbage" on the calendar on the days they take it away. Put it out on Friday every week, that'll be Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th. It's a really good service. The trucks are quiet and the service is efficient. The bin will be put back outside the house empty. It's a good idea to put it away quickly. This street can be quite windy. I once watched my next door neighbor chase her bin the whole length of the street. Every time she nearly caught up with it, it got away again. The waste paper will be collected this Tuesday, that's Tuesday 19th. There's a plastic box full of paper in the front room : please put out on Tuesday. The truck will come during the day. If you don't mind collecting old newspapers and other paper and putting them in the box I'll put it out when I come home - the paper people only come monthly. I have some things to give to charity in a box in the front room. Would you put it out on Monday the 25th please? It's a box of old clothes and some bed linen which I've collected, plus a few other bits and pieces. Be careful when you pick it up, because it's heavier than you might expect. The charity truck will come by during the day on the last Monday of the month. If you want to use the library, you'll find it on Darling Street. I've left my borrower's card near the telephone. It has a very good local reference section if you want to find out more about this city. I'm sorry to say we don't have a cleaner. Oh, yes! Filters! Please would you change the filters on the washing machine on the last day of the month, which is Sunday 31st? We find that the machine works much better if we change the filters regularly. The gas company reads the meter outside the house, so don't worry about that. I think that's all the information about the calendar of events. 58
  29. UNIT 9 Denise : I'm sorry Vijay. What were you saying? Vijay : I wanted to know what else I had to do. Denise : Oh, of course. Please go to the building on the other side of Smith Street. 1 want you to go to the reception area first. It's just inside the door on the left as you enter from Smith Street. Give them this form. Vijay : Okay. Do 1 pay my fees there? Denise : No, but the fees office is in the same building. Go past the escalators and you'll see a games shop. It's in the corner. The fees office is between the games shop and the toilets. Vijay : Thanks. Er. Where can I buy books? Denise : The bookshop is opposite the lifts. It's right next to the entrance from Robert Street. Vijay : Your offices are spread out! Denise : Not as badly as they used to be. By the way, we offer very competitive overseas travel rates to our students. Vijay : Oh, I'd like to look into that. Denise : Of course. The travel agency is at the Smith Street end of the building, in the corner next to the insurance office. Vijay : Thank you very much. Bye. 59
  30. UNIT 10 Sareena : Hi, Vincent. How are you? Vincent : Hello there, Sareena. I'm well, thank you. I haven't seen you for ages! How've you been? Sareena : Good, thanks. I see you've just walked out of the Life Sciences Building. You're not taking classes in biology or something, are you? I thought you were studying sociology. Vincent : I am studying sociology, Sareena. I was just visiting a friend of mine who's doing research in biochemistry. Actually, I'm on my way to lunch and then I've got a lecture. Sareena : Oh, well, look. I was just going to have a bit to eat as well. Shall we have something together? Vincent : That would be great. Sareena : The problem with this campus is that the town's so far away, which is where I prefer to eat. It seems like all the students are forced to eat here on campus. Vincent : Yeah, but there are quite a few places to choose from here. What if we go to the Student Union cafeteria? I go there sometimes. At least it's cheap. Sareena : Yes, the Union cafeteria's cheap, Vincent, but you get what you pay for! That's one place I try to avoid as much as possible. I only go there when I'm low on money or when they have live music. Besides, it's too crowded around lunchtime, and Vincent : All right, all right I know! How about Aztec Grill? Do you know that one? It's on the third floor of the Arts Center. Sareena : The Aztec Grill, huh? I think I've seen it, but I've never been there. Doesn't it specialize in Mexican food or something? Vincent : Yes, it's pretty spicy. Do you like spicy food? 60
  31. Sareena : Actually, I love spicy things, but I shouldn't be eating them at the moment. I just got over a stomach flu, so I'd prefer something mild. Vincent : I haven't got a problem with that. I guess I'd better let you pick a place, then. Where would you like to go? 61
  32. UNIT 11 NUMBER 1 : The jacket Shopper : Excuse me. 1 like this jacket, but um, do you have any different designs? Clerk : No, sir, actually, stripe is the only style we have. Shopper : Really? Clerk : Yes, stripes are very popular this year. Shopper : Oh. Well. Thank you. Maybe I'll look around a bit more. Clerk : That's fine, sir. NUMBER 2 : The CD player Clerk : May I help you? Shopper : Yeah, how much is the CD player? Clerk : Let's see Oh, it's on sale right now. It's only eighty-five ninety-nine. Shopper : Wow, that's cheap. Clerk : Yes, it's a very good buy. Shopper : Hmm. NUMBER 3 : The cordless phone First Shopper : Gee, look at this. A cordless phone for less than fifty dollars. Second Shopper : That's really cheap. We've talked about getting a cordless phone. It sure would be convenient. What brand is it? First Shopper : Brand? Let's see. It's Electo. Second Shopper : Electo? Have you ever heard of it? First Shopper : Hmm. No, I haven't. Second Shopper : I don't know. With electronic stuff, if you don't know the company that made it First Shopper : Yeah, I know what you mean. NUMBER 4 : The jeans First Shopper : (footsteps) So, what do you think? 62
  33. Second Shopper : They look great on you, Sue. First Shopper : Yeah, the fit's good. But I always worry with jeans. The cotton might shrink. Second Shopper : Hmm, yeah, wash them a few times and they might be too small. First Shopper : Maybe they have a bigger size. (speaking to Clerk) Excuse me. Clerk : Yes? First Shopper : Do you have these in the next larger size? Clerk : Let me check, ma'am. Ah, I'm sorry. We don't seem to have that size at the moment. NUMBER 5 : The computer First Shopper : There are so many kinds of computer - I don't know which to buy. Second Shopper : Well, what are you going to use it for? First Shopper : Well, just my own writing mainly. You know, I'm working on a novel. Second Shopper : How's it going? First Shopper : Pretty good, actually. Second Shopper : Well, are you going to write at home, or when you travel, or when? First Shopper : Well, I do travel a lot. Maybe I'll think about a laptop. Second Shopper : I'm really happy with mine. It's wonderful. First Shopper : Yeah? Really convenient? Second Shopper : It's easy to use. And so lightweight. I love mine. First Shopper : Hmm. (sound of somebody keyboarding) This laptop is certainly easy to use. Maybe I'll NUMBER 6 : The notebook Shopper : Excuse me. 63
  34. Clerk : Yes? Shopper : Are these all the notebooks you have? Clerk : Yes. Is there something special you're looking for? Shopper : There all seem to have fifty pages. Uh, do you have any with more pages? Like a hundred or maybe a hundred and fifty? Clerk : I'm sorry. All the notebooks we have are right there. Shopper : Oh, I see. I'll guess I'll keep looking. 64

  36. UNIT 13 Radio Presenter : Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Now, many of the things we use in our everyday lives were invented and developed in ancient China. Did you know, for example, that the Chinese gave the world paper and printing, money, and fireworks, and silk; they even invented sunglasses. Although it is now a major world power, we know less about China today - modern China - than about almost any other country. This series of programs will look at what life is like in China today. Let's start then with a few basic facts and figures about the land and population. The total area of the People's Republic of China is about nine million, five hundred and seventy-five thousand square kilometers. The size of the population is around one thousand million - a billion people. Although seventy-nine percent of the population live in the countryside and only twenty-one percent live in the cities, China has more than twelve cities with more than two million inhabitants. The biggest cities in China are Shanghai, which has around twelve million inhabitants, Beijing the capital, with a total of some nine-and-a-half million, Tianjin with eight million, and Chongquing with six million, six hundred thousand inhabitants. 66
  37. UNIT 14 NUMBER 1 Laura : Hi, Kenji. Kenji : Laura. Good to see you. Laura : Yeah. So how was your vacation? Kenji : Great. I had a really good time. You knew I went to Vancouver, didn't you? Laura : Yeah. How was it? I hear Vancouver's beautiful. Kenji : Terrific scenery. I went to this fantastic garden. Laura : Really? I didn't know you liked gardening. Kenji : Oh, I don't like gardening. But I love to look at gardens. It's a lot less work. Laura : That's for sure. So what else did you do? Kenji : Went to some great restaurants.The seafood there is outstanding. Laura : Really? Kenji : Yeah. Crab, lobster. Great food. Not that expensive, either : It was terrific. So how was your vacation? Laura : Well, I didn't go anywhere special. I stayed home. Kenji : You just relaxed? Laura : That's right. 1 stayed home and did a lot of reading. Read, what, four or five books. I did go to the beach one day and went swimming. But mostly I just took it easy. Kenji : Oh. Sounds nice. Laura : It was nice - very relaxing - but I still wish I had money to take a trip. NUMBER 2 Dave : Did you have a good vacation, Lisa? Lisa : Exciting, really exciting. Diane and 1 went to Brazil. 67
  38. Dave : Wow, Brazil! That does sound exciting. What did you do? Lisa : Well, we flew to Rio and we were really tired, so we spent the first days on the beach. Dave : You flew all that way and just went to the beach? Lisa : Oh, but the beaches there are wonderful. But that wasn't all we did. After that, we flew to the interior of Brazil. It's really beautiful. We visited some old mining areas. We saw some old diamond mines, gold mines Dave : Diamond mines? Did you bring back any souvenirs? Lisa : Sorry. Dave, no gold or diamonds. Then we flew to Brasilia, the capital. There are some fantastic buildings there, really modern. Dave : Yeah, I've heard about the buildings in Brasilia. Lisa : Oh, and the people were so friendly. They were really nice. The food's great too. So how about you? What did you do on your vacation, Dave? Dave : I didn't do much. I just visited relatives. Lisa : How was that? Dave : Well, you know. Pretty boring, actually. I like my aunt and uncle, of course. We talked a lot. But after a couple of days there just wasn't much to talk about. So I ended up watching a lot of TV. Yeah, talk and TV. That's about it. Not the most exciting time I've ever had. No, not very exciting at all. Lisa : Oh, that's too bad. 68
  39. UNIT 15 Irene : Hi! This is Irene. Why are you never at home? I hate speaking to this machine. Anyway, listen. We've got two tickets for the opera for the next Saturday night. It's Verdi's Othello and Domingo's singing. Rodney can't go because he has to work this weekend. So I wonder if you'd like to come with me instead? It starts at seven. Ring me tomorrow. Oh, but ring before ten because I'm taking Harry to the dentist. Bye! 69
  40. UNIT 16 Good afternoon. This is Caroline Barnes with a look at some of today's programs here on BBC radio. At 3 o'clock just after Woman's Hour on 4 there's the first episode of our new classic serial, Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility with Susan Allender as Elinor. On 4 later this evening there's more drama at 8.30 when you can hear George Bernard Shaw's play Arms and the Man, the famous story of the chocolate soldier. Before that on 4 Roy Plomley's guest in Desert Island Discs at 7.30 is the American film actor and director Clint Eastwood, who'll be telling us which eight records he would, take with him to a desert island. This evening's concert from the Royal Albert Hall is on Radio 3 at 7.45, it includes music by Sir Edward Elgar and Vaugnar Williams played by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Simon Rattle and the Elgar Violin Concerto will be played by the young Korean violinist Kim So Hwan. Finally in Kaledoscope on Radio 4 at the later time than usual of 9.40, you can hear reviews of the new Star Trek film and new novels by John Fowles and Margaret Drabble. And of course there's news every hour on the hour with comments and reports in PM at 5 o'clock followed by half an hour of news at 6. And now it's time for the news summary 70
  41. UNIT 17 Newsreader : The strike which began at midnight of air traffic controllers at Heathrow and Gatwick has caused the cancellation of scores of flights today. The Association of Air Traffic Controllers has called its members in protest against the Civil Aviation Authority's plans to rearrange their shift working system. Non-union members are not affected and management and supervisory staff are working double shifts in an attempt to minimize the disruption. Here's Larry Harrison with the details from Heathrow Airport. Harrison : The latest from here is that there will inevitably be further cancellations and delays today and the situation is likely to deteriorate during the course of the day. British Airways say that they hope to get more than half of their flights away but that there will inevitably be delays of anything from one to three hours in departures. Many incoming flights have already been diverted to Stansted, Hurn and Burmingham. Gatwick is less badly hit, with incoming flights as yet unaffected and about 80% of outgoing flights subject to delays of no more than two hours. Calls have been made for the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) to be called in but the unions are unwilling to agree to this at this time. Talks between management and unions which broke down on Friday have not been resumed. Newsreader : The number of ring for flight information is 01 759 2525 for flights from Heathrow and information is also available on BBC Ceefax page 140. 71
  42. UNIT 18 Paul : Celia Clarke of The Daily Telegraph and I have been to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical "Starlight Express" at the Apollo Theatre. Celia um are you a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber? Celia : Not exactly, no. I did quite enjoy "Evita", it did have its one good song "Don't Cry for me, Argentina", but apart from that I thought the story was rather silly. I didn't like "Cats", th that only had one good song "Memory" and some very good dancing. Paul : Oh, I I would have thought that "Cats" had more than just one good song, but er back to "Starlight Express". Celia : Yes, well, "Starlight Express". Here all the characters are machines, not animals, they're all machines. All the men play the locomotives, the engines, and all the women play the various carriages - on roller skates. It's quite amazing, there's a track across the stage, over the stall and on a bridge that comes right across in front of the dress circle. It's a a millionaire's train set open to the public. And a lot of the seats were taken out of the theatre to make room for these amazing race tracks. Paul : Yes, technically er quite amazing. Um but what did you think of the story? Celia : Haha. Well, er there's virtually none. I suppose it deals with the preparation for and the staging of a a race between trains from all over the world. Different locomotives and carriages sing their songs and the diesel and the electric engines, the new flashy ones, are mostly unreliable and gradually knock each other out of the different race stages until at the final the good old honest steam train wins and gets the girl, but that's all there is to it! 72
  43. Paul : Yes, but I I thought the songs were particularly good and and clever. I think he's a master of the pastiche er different style : 50s, 70s, don't you? Celia : Yes, yes, clever. Yes, clever. We had er Jeff Shankly as Greaser, as a rock 'n' roll character in in true Elvis Presley style. And wonderful Frances Rufflle as Dinah the Dining Cat, with her country and western song "Uncoupled", particularly clever clever number that one. And Jeffrey David as the explosive character, the electric loco urn aptly named Electra, and he has a David Bowie - style showstopper, called "AC/DC". The Paul : Yes, yes. What did you think was the best song? Celia : Well, er the the song of the show er like, for instance "Memory" and "Don't Cry for me, Argentina", the song of the show is Stephanie Lawrence's "Only You", which has been released as a single. Er yes, all the songs were well performed. 73

  46. UNIT 20 Announcer : Good morning. This is Nick Swift on Radio Sussex with our usual Wednesday morning phone-in. This morning the topic is you and the law, and with us in the studio is our resident solicitor, Mr Charles Andrews. Charles : Good morning. Announcer : Mr Andrews has been looking at some of the letters sent in by our listeners and is now ready to give us the benefit of his professional advice. And the first caller, waiting expectantly on the line is Mr Stephen Lawson from West Denham. Stephen, can you hear me? Stephen : Yes, yes I can. Good morning, Mr Andrews. Charles : Good morning Mr Lawson. Yes, your problem is a very common one, I'm afraid and in order to decide whether you're a protected tenant or not, legally, I mean, I'd like to ask you a few questions. Stephen : Yeah, yeah, of course. Charles : Now firstly, what kind of agreement do you have, if you don't mind my asking? Stephen : Well, we haven't signed anything, if that's what you mean -er, we've got a rent book and we pay rent every month. Charles : Ah, you do have a rent book, and you pay every month. Does the landlord live on the premises? Stephen : No, no, in fact we hardly ever see him, he lives in another part of the country. Charles : So he doesn't provide any services for you - by that I mean, breakfast, linen, that kind of thing? Stephen : (laughing) : No, nothing like that - unfortunately. Charles : Ah, well, actually it is better for you that he doesn't. Now he's written to you formally asking you to leave, I take it? 76
  47. Stephen : No, no, he just keeps phoning up and keeping on at us - it's really getting us down. Charles : Yes, quite so. Well a couple of things here, Firstly, he must inform you in writing, or else it's not legal. And after that, since you pay monthly he's got to give you a month before you leave anyway. Now secondly, he's not allowed to keep pestering you like this until he has got a court order for possession - you could sue him for harassment. Stephen : Oh, I see, that's interesting to know. Charles : Now do you happen to know his reasons for wanting to regain possession of the house? Stephen : No, we assumed he wanted to sell or something, but Charles : Yes, because if he needs it for himself or a member of his family then I'm afraid you've got problems. Otherwise it seems to me that you've probably got a pretty good chance of staying put, at least for a year or so. Stephen : That would be wonderful, because we leave college then, anyway. Charles : But er, I have to say that this whole issue is so complex that you'd be better off going and speaking a solicitor in more detail. We haven't got time in this phone call to cover everything, I'm afraid. Stephen : OK, well thanks very much. Charles : And remember if you're a student you are protected by Legal Aid, which means you don't have to pay the fees yourself. Stephen : Great! Thanks again. Announcer : I'm sure Stephen is much more optimistic already. Next on the line is Mrs Mary Peters from Townley and she has a problem with a jacket she wants to return to the shop. Mary : Hello. 77
  48. Charles : Hello Mrs Peters. Yes, I think your case may be a little more simple. The main question is, was there anything wrong with the jacket at all, was it faulty in any way? Mary : No, it was just too small - it was my mistake. Charles : Ah yes, because in that case I'm afraid they're right, they are not legally obliged to give you your money back or even exchange on sales item. However, if the goods are faulty in any way then they must, sale or no sale. Mary : So there's nothing I can do? Charles : I'm afraid not Mrs Peters. Actually, I think you were unfortunate. Most big department stores would at least have given you a credit note as long as you had a receipt and had returned the item fairly soon after the purchase. It's not worth having bad customer relations, you see. Mary : No, this was quite a small shop. Oh well, not to worry. Thanks anyway for your time - I'll know next time, won't I? Charles : Yes, you certainly will. 78
