Text of the video
section one you will hear a conversation
between Harry and Andrea two students
who have just finished their final exams
first you have some time to look at
questions one to five
notice that an example has been done for
you this time only the conversation
relating to the example will be played
first hi Andrea how are you feeling now
that exams are over it’s fantastic to
have finished isn’t it and to sleep in
every morning what about you the student
is happy to have finished exams so you
Circle B now let’s begin answer the
questions as you listen you will not
hear the recording a second time listen
carefully to the conversation and answer
questions one to five
hi Andrea how you feeling now that exams
are over it’s fantastic to have finished
isn’t it and to sleep in every morning
what about you well I’ve been catching
up on sleep too but I’ve got a lot to do
before I leave for England perhaps you
could give me some advice I’ve got a lot
of things I can’t possibly take back
with me but I don’t know what to do with
them well it depends on what sort of
things they are and whether you’re
thinking of giving them away or selling
them well almost everything
furniture the fridge and other kitchen
stuff that I bought from the previous
tenant but the new people have already
got what they need so they’re not
interested in buying stuff from me I
can’t afford to give it away but I’m not
sure how to sell it all oh and there are
some clothes and books as well why can’t
you take them the books are really heavy
it’s so expensive if you exceed the
airline baggage allowance and the
clothes just won’t all fit in my
suitcase it’s amazing how much stuff
I’ve accumulated since I’ve been here
anyway I don’t think I’ll need as many
summer clothes in England as I have here
in Australia I see well there are
several alternatives first of all you
could put up notices around the
university about the books you know on
the notice boards in the Student Union
Building and in the Economics Department
anywhere 2nd and 3rd year students will
see them people are always keen to buy
cheap textbooks ok what should I say on
the notices just put the titles authors
and price you want your name of course
and maybe put your phone number on those
little tear off tags that’s a good idea
and what about the furniture you could
try doing the same thing but usually
students are away or summer so they
don’t want to buy furniture now another
place to try might be a secondhand shop
someone from the shop will usually come
around and give you a free quote
and then you can decide but you don’t
usually get much money for that sort of
stuff before you hear the rest of the
conversation you have some time to look
at questions six to ten
another alternative is to put an
advertisement in the Trading Post do you
know that paper it comes out every week
advertising things people want to sell
you have to pay to put the advert in and
then hope people phone give them as much
information as possible and if they’re
interested invite them to come and have
a look the hard part is agreeing on a
price no I haven’t seen the Trading Post
but I should have a look at it and I
could advertise the fridge the microwave
and the furniture but the kitchen stuff
isn’t really that good you know old
cutlery a few pots and pans and some
plates and things what should I do with
them
well another option is to donate the
kitchen things to a charity shop you
know like the Salvation Army or st.
Vincent DePaul why don’t you get a
secondhand shop to give you a quote
first yes I could do that find out how
much they’ll give me and then decide
whether to sell them or give them away
but I’ve still got the clothes a charity
shop will take them too
as long as they’re in good condition and
even though you don’t get any money at
least you know that someone who really
deserves some help has benefited that’s
a good point I’ll advertise the
expensive stuff the furniture and donate
the clothes and kitchen stuff let’s go
and buy a trading post and you can help
me write the advert well actually I’m
interested in buying the fridge and the
microwave depending on the price of
course
ok let’s see how good you are at
bargaining that is the end of section 1
you have half a minute to check your
answers
now turn to section 2 section 2 you will
hear a phone conversation giving
information about a health and fitness
center before you hear the talk you have
some time to look at questions 11 to 16
now listen carefully to the first part
of the talk and answer questions 11 to
16 hello hello is that miss Heidi James
yes good morning miss James I’d like to
take a few minutes of your time to tell
you about the Sevenoaks health and
fitness center which is in your suburb
would that be convenient okay well the
center is not far from you it’s on the
corner of marion street and joel street
and has a large car park it’s open every
day of the week opening on weekdays at 6
a.m. and at 9 a.m. at the weekend its
closes at 9:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and
on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 2
p.m. we also have childcare Monday to
Saturday from 9:00 in the morning until
midday for a small extra charge so you
can leave your children in safe hands
while you attend one of our classes or
perhaps have a swim or if you just want
to relax in the spa and sauna or steam
room talking of classes we have a very
wide range which are designed to suit
all different levels of fitness and
individual needs
I mentioned the pool just now well in
addition to swimming laps or just
relaxing we also offer aqua aerobic
classes which are 45-minute classes that
use the therapeutic effects of water
this provides a very safe and effective
exercise and is suitable for all fitness
levels as well as being a lot of fun
many people who haven’t been exercising
for a while start in the aqua classes as
two people who need to take care after
hospital surgery for example these
classes are very popular and are
scheduled every weekday Monday to Friday
and on Saturday afternoon
and Sunday morning another very popular
activity in the pool area is learning to
swim and these swimming classes are held
at 4:00 p.m. every weekday and in the
mornings at the weekend by the way
they’re open to both adults and children
of any age before the talk continues you
have some time to look at questions 17
to 20
now as the talk continues answer
questions 17 to 20 now it would take too
much of your time to tell you in detail
about all our programs as we have a very
wide range of activities at different
times
however I’ll just outline some of them
our Super circuit classes are extremely
popular and you get a good aerobic
workout while toning your muscles
they’re easy to learn as you combine
using hydraulic equipment with exercises
guaranteed to give you a good cardio
workout the teachers are very good and
there’s a fun atmosphere and the classes
are very effective in assisting weight
loss relieving stress lowering blood
pressure and generally increasing
fitness oh and I haven’t mentioned our
range of aerobic and step classes of
different types which suit all levels
our specially designed aerobics room
holds over 55 people and our highly
qualified and trained staff can advise
you as to which class might suit to you
we are inviting you to a free one-week
trial period when you can come and try
any of the classes or activities before
you make the decision to join by the way
there is also a large and very
well-equipped gym where we offer free
fitness assessments and you can have an
individual program designed just for you
also the cardiovascular room has the
latest range of machines which help you
burn fat increase your fitness or just
warm up they’re very popular as you can
forget all about the calorie burning by
watching your favorite music videos on
TV while you exercise right now we have
a very special new member joining feet
offer which allows two memberships for
the price of one a real bargain so if
you can bring along a friend who’d like
to get fit as well in time
for summer come along and try us out you
can make the stuff try out some of the
classes for a week absolutely free and
then if you like us sign up for only one
hundred and ten dollars each for six
months thanks for taking the time to
learn about the center and I hope we’ll
see you there soon Heidi I’ll put one of
our brochures in the mail for you right
now
bye for now that is the end of section
two you have half a minute to check your
answers
now turn to section 3 section 3 you will
hear two business studies students
evelyn and mark preparing for a seminar
presentation before you hear the
conversation you have some time to look
at questions 21 to 25
well I think the marketing of food would
be a good topic I read a very
interesting article the other day about
the Canadian food market hmm I suppose
everybody’s interested in food even if
it’s trying not to eat why Canada I know
that’s where you come from but isn’t it
just all North America really no that’s
what I thought this article was
interesting although lots of US
companies are well-established in Canada
and vice-versa there are still subtle
differences between the two markets it
says here the Canadian market is
definitely not a northern clone of the
US I like that and it says that if you
understand these differences it can have
a big impact on successful food
marketing so I know that Canada has a
big french-speaking population in Quebec
is this what they were faring – not only
French and English speakers there are
many different ethnic groups in Canada
it’s really quite multicultural for
example Toronto has large Asian and
Italian populations and Vancouver’s got
a large Asian population – and because
Canada’s population is small these
groups make quite an impact introducing
new styles of cooking so you can see
lots of unfamiliar vegetables and things
in the markets and new restaurants are
opening every day it’s great if you love
trying out new foods as many people do
which kinds of food are becoming popular
well some Asian food I’d say has been
popular for quite a while like Chinese
but now Southeast Asian restaurants are
becoming very fashionable
then there’s Mediterranean of course
such as Greek Italian and so on but
Caribbean and Mexican food is really
taking off among young people these days
so are the supermarket’s starting to
stock the ingredients that are needed to
prepare these foods at home you know all
those unusual condiments and sauces yes
that’s right it’s quite interesting
to the supermarket isn’t it and noticing
how they’re introducing sections for
foods of different nationalities you can
buy quite exotic products locally these
days the article mentioned that 80% of
the Canadian retail market is controlled
by eight major national supermarket
chains so that when they introduce
changes they can happen quite rapidly
okay well how are we going to organise
this seminar then I made some notes on
the trends in the Canadian market about
changing tastes and also patterns for
where food is consumed I thought maybe
we could summarize it into a chart or
table and maybe use the overhead
projector to present it good idea maybe
I could have a look for similar trends
and tastes in Australia and the UK for
comparison let’s have a look at what you
found before the conversation continues
you have some time to look at questions
26 to 30
now as the conversation continues answer
questions 26 to 30
the most significant trend it seemed to
me was that Canadians are definitely
interested in healthy food for example
did you know that salads are the third
most commonly eaten food in Canadian
restaurants really what about organic
food then is that becoming more popular
yes it’s definitely moving into the
mainstream compared to a few years ago
and a recent survey showed that four out
of five shoppers said that they check
the fat and nutritional information on
the packet when they’re deciding what to
buy what other trends did you find out
there’s one change I noticed straight
away when I was home last year in the
meat department you know here the meat
packaging says rump steak or four
quarter chops and so on
well they discovered that most consumers
these days didn’t know what to do with
these roasts and rounds and ribs so the
government approved a new naming system
for cuts of meat which is related to the
required cooking technique what a good
idea I’ve never really understood the
difference between sirloin rump round
and all those names so how many new
categories are there eight there are
three kinds of steak for grilling for
marinating and for simmering and then
there’s what they call quick serve beef
for stir fries I suppose and premium
oven roast oven roast pot roast and
stewing beef it’s a great idea isn’t it
I hope that catches on here I agree any
other trends that you thought were
significant well what’s really
interesting is what the article called
mobile meals in other words more and
more Canadians are eating meals away
from home but not just eating more junk
food they’re projecting a 40% increase
in snack food sales over the next three
years and the growth is coming from
healthy snacks
you know the ones that have less
cholesterol and fat such as muesli bars
health food bar
and those types of products apparently
in the food marketing jargon they’re
called nutritious portable foods which
means healthy snacks the other major
trend is that young people are doing
more of the food shopping these days so
marketing has to be aimed more at them
as well as more conventionally at the
mother thanks Evelyn I think we’ll have
an interesting discussion about these
trends and the comparisons with other
english-speaking countries I’ll see if I
can get some information about them to
compare with yours and meet you on
Friday to put it together see you then
bye that is the end of section 3 you
have half a minute to check your answers
now turn to section four section four
you will hear a talk given by dr.
Miranda James first you have some time
to look at questions 31 to 35
now listen carefully to the talk and
answer questions 31 to 35
good afternoon everybody and welcome to
the first in a series of talks we have
arranged for the overseas Students
Association this semester dr. James has
very kindly agreed to speak to us today
on the topic of public speaking and
judging from the large numbers of you
here it’s clearly a subject of great
interest and relevance dr. James hello
it’s good to see so many of you here and
hopefully what I’m going to tell you
will be useful to you both here at the
University and in your future employment
many people avoid speaking publicly by
which I mean in front of state 10 or
more people not because they lack the
ability but mainly because they lack
confidence which is really only due to
lack of practice today as a consequence
of the influence of television audiences
expect speakers to be relatively brief
and to the point in addition to being
well informed and interesting or
entertaining probably the most important
part of public speaking is what you do
beforehand by which I mean preparation
this includes practical details such as
knowing precisely what your topic is and
exactly how long you are expected to
talk for you should also plan the
content thoroughly a good strategy is to
write out the content as you intend to
say it and then make brief notes
preferably on small cards which you use
to talk from this way you sound more
natural you incorporate pauses while you
look at your notes and you can then look
at your audience while you’re speaking
never read your speech without looking
at the audience I contact is a very
important part of communicating with an
audience so deliberately move your head
and to look around at your audience
pauses are important as most people when
they are nervous tend to rush through
their speech now you have some time to
look at questions 36 to 40
now listen and answer questions 36 to 40
practice speaking slowly this gives you
more time to pronounce your words
correctly it’s always easier for your
audience to listen to someone who’s
speaking is clear and calmly paced so
that they can understand the ideas being
explained and the bigger the group the
more slowly you should speak remember to
project your voice speaking clearly to
the person furthest away from you it’s a
good idea to rehearse and record
yourself pay attention to your
intonation when you listen to yourself
it’s even harder if you’re speaking in a
second language I would imagine but
there’s nothing worse than listening to
a flat monotonous voice so try to vary
your tone and rhythm
this will add meaning to your words
lastly pay attention to both your
posture and your gestures a confident
person stands or sits in a small group
with their head up chin out and
shoulders back try to avoid scratching
or fiddling with your hair or beard or
pens jewelry and so on these movements
can distract and irritate your audience
yet you may be unaware of them yourself
another reason for rehearsing preferably
with feedback from a friend or better
still on video I hope these few tips
will make your experience of speaking in
public a little easier remember practice
makes perfect that is the end of section
4 you now have half a minute to check
your arm
