Conversation1

Mark

Look, there’s a careers fair on at the Examination Schools. Do you want to go? Janet

What happens in a careers fair?

Mark There are lots of different companies and they

give you information about careers …advice, that kind of thing.

Janet

OK, I’ll come. You coming, Kate?

Kate

Yeah, sure. But I’ve already decided on my career.

Mark

We know. You’re going to be a brilliant lawyer.

Kate

That’s the plan –I’m off to a law firm soon as I get my degree.

Janet

You’re so lucky. I wish I knew what I wanted to do.

Kate

Didn’t you say something about teaching? Janet

Yes, I’m thinking about it. I’m quite attracted to teaching. But I’m not really sure yet.

Kate

Well, you’ve got lots of time. What about you, Mark? What are your plans?

Mark

I’m going to row for England.

Kate

Seriously?

Mark

No. Problem is, I think if you want to be successful, you’ve got to plan ahead –starting at the age of 12.

Janet

So we’re not doing very well. Mark

No.

Kate

So?

Mark

Well …I’m thinking of going into business management. It’s a possibility.

Janet

Really?

Mark

Yes.

Kate Hey, let’s go to the Careers Fair. It might give you some ideas.

…

Janet

It was very interesting, wasn’t it? You were having a long conversation with that man from the law firm.

Kate

Yes. They said there’s a possibility of a job placement as an intern over the summer. They’re going to let me know about it. Janet

Fantastic!

Kate

You know that job placement I told you about –they’ve asked me to go for an interview. Janet

That’s brilliant. When?

Kate

Two weeks’time …

…

Interviewer

So what made you decide to study law, Kate? Kate

A number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I’ve got a good brain, a good memory. And I’d certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money’s good.

Interviewer

Well, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV’s very good. I seem to remember that you only want the work placement for six weeks. Is that right?

Kate

Yes, it is.

Interviewer

Why is that?

Kate

Well, to be honest, I’m planning to go back to the States and spend time with my family. Interviewer

That’s understandable. Now, tell me, what questions do you have?

Kate

I’ve got some idea but obviously, what I’d like to know is, what does the job involve? Interviewer

Of course. Well, for the first few weeks, your main responsibility would be to read files and summarize them. We’d also want you to do some research for us. How does that sound? Rather boring?

Kate

No, not at all. I think I’d learn a lot. Interviewer

Good, well …you’ll be taking your first year exams soon, won’t you?

Kate

Yes, in a few weeks’time.

Interviewer

Well, provided they’re OK, I think we can say you’re in.

Kate

Thank you –that’s wonderful! …

Kate

Hey, guess what?

Janet

What?

Kate

They’ve accepted me. I start at the end of June.

Voice-over

Every year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. V olunteers learn to solve problems,

work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. V olunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Passage1

Speaker 1

So how’s it all going?

Speaker 2

Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it’s all go at the moment.

Speaker 1

It’s not going to ease up! So what can I do for you?

Speaker 2

Well, next year’s my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.

Speaker 1

I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to do?

Speaker 2

I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic. Speaker 1

That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editor?

Speaker 2

That’s right.

Speaker 1

Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature.

For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports. Speaker 2

I’m not very sporty.

Speaker 1

Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea.

Speaker 2

Yes, I do. So how do I start?

Speaker 1

First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CV and you’ll learn something about the business.

Speaker 2

Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1

All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.

Speaker 2

Thank you.

Speaker 1

The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.

Speaker 2

I’ll do that.

Speaker 1

One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing, sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those. Speaker 2 Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do. Speaker 1

Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.

1.

The five pieces of advice he career adviser gives the student are 1,2,4,7 and 8

2.

1. The woman is to take her second year exams.

2. She wants to do literary editing.

3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.

4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.

5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.

6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.

7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.

8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing.

Passage2

Harry

So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy? Lucy

It was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be.

Harry

Well done!

Lucy

Yes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.

Jessica

It’s extraordinary, isn’t it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover we

don’t know anything.

Lucy

How long have you been teaching, Jessica? Jessica

Just over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really –the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time.

Patrick

So you’re teaching English because you want to travel?

Jessica

Yes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.

Patrick

I feel the same. So what do you want to do next?

Jessica

Marketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then –I hope –get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the plan.

Patrick

Sounds good.

Harry

What about you, Patrick? Where have you worked?

Patrick

I did three years in Italy –Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn, Harry. Harry

Well, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.

Jessica

You don’t see teaching English as a career? Harry

Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.

Lucy

Which countries have you been to, Harry? Harry

I did a year’s teaching in Brazil –Rio de Janeiro –such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.

Patrick

Cool. And then?

Harry

Two years in Mexico City …

Jessica

You should be a travel writer.

Harry

I’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.

Lucy

Great!

Harry

Well, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, Lucy?

Lucy

Um - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it’s great to be in Italy. I mean Venice, what more can you ask?

Conversation1

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?

Kate ：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.

Janet ：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.

Conversation2

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.”

Mark

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.

V oice-over：When we talk about technology, we usually think small. However, we’re going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world’s biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing “superjumbo”. The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built in France, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with 154 planes ordered by the world’s airlines, the

big question was: “Will it fly at all?”On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.

Passage1

Presenter

Could technological advances be changing people’s identities –and possibly even society as a whole? That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel. Greenfield suggests that advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I’m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital. Let’s begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains work?

Brian

Well, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other –billions of connections –and store information. We all have basically the same brain structure. It’s what we do with our brain that makes the difference. We take in information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it. So to some extent, it’s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are –and that’s what we call our identity.

Jane

And if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in their identity.

Presenter

Why exactly?

Jane

Because the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may be changing our sense of reality –what we see as real –and may even reduce it. And if this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behaviour.

Presenter

Can you give an example?

Jane

Risk-taking is a good example –we may start taking more risks.

Brian

But she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.

Jane

That’s true.

Brian

I agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behave differently –we need much more research

before we can accept this.

6. some interesting questions

Passage2

Speaker 1

Do we really need computers? Aren’t they more trouble than they’re worth?

Speaker 2

I think that’s one of the stupidest questions I’ve ever heard!

Speaker 1

I thought you might say that.

Speaker 2

Of course we need computers. How can anyone say otherwise? They’ve revolutionized our lives. I mean, I don’t know where to begin, they’ve changed our lives so much. Look. To start with, computers mean we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world almost instantly.

Speaker 1

That’s not quite true.

Speaker

2

Well, you know what I mean. I can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes. If I want to conference with people there’s webcam –we can see each other on camera –do you really want me to go on? Speaker 1 But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minutes? What does it actually achieve?

Speaker 2

It speeds things up. I don’t have to put the document in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and go to the post office, stand in a queue …knowing it will take another three days to get there –at least.

Speaker 1

But why the hurry?

Speaker 2

It’s good to get things done quickly. Speaker 1

Why?

Speaker 2

Because you get more done that way. Speaker 1

But is that really necessarily better? Life moves so fast these days, don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more? Speaker 2

I think computers allow us to enjoy life more. Before we had computers if you wanted to research you had to go out and get a book. That took such a long time.

Speaker 1

So what? We just did things more slowly, that’s all. Are you saying we have more time now than we did? Everyone says that actually life is moving faster and faster. And what about all the problems that computers create? Speaker 2

For example?

Speaker 1

Identity theft is a big one. You have to admit that identify theft has increased massively since we got the Internet.

Speaker 2

The Internet isn’t the only reason why identity theft has increased.

Speaker 1

You know as well as I do that it’s a big reason …

Speaker 2

Yes, but …

6.

1. Do we really need computer?

2. Of course we need computers- they’ve revolutionized our lives

3.We can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes; we can use webcam to conference with people who are far away.

4. Life moves so fast these days. Don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more?

7.

1. I thought you might say that.

2. That’s not quite true.

3. But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minute?

4. But why the hurry?

5.But is that really necessarily better?

6. So what?

7. You know as well as I do it’s a big reason.

Mark: It was next to mine, you chained it up! Kate: Someone's stolen it! Oh, how could they! Mark: Oh, Kate! Kate: How could someone have done this! The creep! Mark: It's a really mean thing to do, steal a bike. Kate: It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune —I don't have the money to buy another one.

Unit1 Americans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor. "We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count. A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is li kely to be that everyone is in a rush -- often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace
