Campsites
00:00
You will hear two friends choosing a campsite together for their holiday with their families. First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.
00:37
Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five.
00:45
Shall we have a look at this information about campsites and then perhaps we can choose where to go on holiday? Yes. My children are very excited about our two families going away together again this year. Shall we look at Westerly campsite first? Yes. It says it's most suitable for children under 12 years old. So that should be fine for us. Your daughter's just 11, isn't she? Yes, that's right.
01:13
Now where is the Westerly campsite? Is it the one next to a lake? That's another one. This one's by the sea. Perfect! Yes. That's a good place to go in the summer when the weather's hot. This brochure says that most children who go to Westerly campsite love the animals they can see there. There's a special area where they can go and feed them. We might see some interesting birds too. Oh, and look.
01:43
It says a farmer comes every day and you can buy eggs from him. Great for breakfast. I wonder if he sells other things like cheese, but it's not mentioned. I don't know. I think they grow a lot of fruit in that area, so he might sell that. Another thing I like about this campsite is that they let you make a fire. We could cook some sausages and sing songs around it in the evenings.
02:12
And perhaps it would be a good way to meet other families there too. Great! And it isn't too expensive. Six pounds per adult per night. Three pounds per child. But wait, families of four can get it for fifteen pounds seventy-five a night. That works out even cheaper.
02:38
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
03:10
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
03:17
Let's look at a couple of other campsites before we decide. Yes, let's look at Snet and Forest campsite. It's even cheaper. £5 per adult and children under 10 are free. They say it's a very good place if you're keen on fishing and they even give you tips on where to go to have the best chance of catching some. I prefer walking or hiking.
03:44
And so do the rest of my family, so I'm not sure that will attract us that much. Oh look, it says you can rent a bike to go around the forest. I'd do that. And your children would like that too, wouldn't they? Absolutely. We could all go somewhere and have a picnic. Look, this is interesting too. At Snetton, they get all the children together to play football.
04:12
Your children would love that. And your husband Mike plays too, doesn't he? Yes, that sounds good. Well, Mike's more into tennis actually, but I'm sure he'd be happy to be a referee if they needed one. Here's some information about Trent Valley campsite. I've heard about this one. There's a festival near the campsite in June and it's really busy, so they say for families it's better in July when it's a bit quieter. Well,
04:42
that would be just right for us because we have to go in the school's summer holidays. Let's look at what it says about it. Oh look, it's quite a long way to the nearest village, eight kilometres. It's too far to walk. But this one has got an open air pool which we'd all love in the summer. And they have a little shop where you can buy basic things like bread and milk. That's really useful.
05:13
And there's lots to do there. I think on Saturday night.
05:21
That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
The Middletown Urban Farming Scheme (MUFS)
00:00
Section 2. will hear the chairperson of the Middletown Urban Farming Scheme talking to a group of people who are interested in joining the scheme. First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16 on page 3.
01:04
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
01:12
I'm Chris Butler, and I'm the chairperson of the Middletown Urban Farming Scheme, or MUFS for short, a highly successful program which encourages city dwellers to grow their own fruit and vegetables, to become city farmers, if you will. Who started MUFS? Well, the idea of urban farming has been around for quite a while, particularly among town planners. But it was actually a group of Middletown business people, including myself,
01:41
who decided to create what became MUFS. University agriculture specialists got involved later. Now, initially, the aim was not some eco-friendly goal of reducing CO2 emissions caused by the transport of food from farm to dinner plate. It was simply to maximize the utilization of the vacant or idle land that lies within the city. Of course, later we realized that an additional benefit might be a healthier diet for local people.
02:12
Let me tell you a bit about the groups that have joined the scheme. We've got any number of schools involved and loads of corporate employees, so our message seems to have been well received there. But for next year, we're going to concentrate on getting various community centers, like those for senior citizens to join, because so far they've been somewhat slow to take up the scheme. Now, the core committee of the MUFS is a group of dedicated gardeners.
02:42
They probably won't be familiar with your specific plot of land. They're mostly amateurs. But they are the people who know the ins and outs of gardening. And they will be happy to sit down with any MUFS member and make some hands-on suggestions about gardening. But don't expect them to know the answers to technical questions, like the Latin names of plants. The MUFS are keen to support members who are physically disabled.
03:12
We're looking at the possibility of providing specially adapted gardening tools on loan to members who can't cope with regular tools. That's not happening yet. But we do have some window boxes as well as larger containers which we can distribute free of charge to these members. Although they will have to provide their own soil and compost themselves. I'm especially proud of the work we've done with the local schools, both grade school level and high schools.
03:40
The teachers say that they knew the scheme would be of some practical use in science classes like biology. Despite the original hopes of some, the fruit and vegetable plots haven't provided cheaper lunches for their students. But what they didn't anticipate was the change in attitude that the scheme has created amongst their students. They say the students have become much more conscious of their surrounding environment. They want to keep it neat and tidy.
04:10
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20 on page 4.
04:37
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
04:45
Now a number of local organizations and businesses provide our members with free goods and services. Let me go through some of them. The city hospital, as you might expect, has to provide thousands of meals for its patients. So the manager of its kitchen runs a course for our members on how to use vegetables in a huge variety of dishes. The local government found it had a large glass building which the Parks Department used
05:13
to start off flower seeds in young plants during the winter, and they agree to allow our members to use this free of charge to get their own little seedlings off to a good start. Another thing, the university has agreed that if members send them a sample of their soil, they will do a series of tests on it to indicate what kind of plants will grow best and what types of fertilizer and nutrients would be best to use.
05:40
And just to make sure our members know what's good for them, a supermarket is offering a series of classes on how to lose weight and stay healthy by having a sensible diet. Now, let's talk about the practicality
05:57
That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
06:34
Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
Why does the student want to study Tourism?
00:01
Section 3 You will hear a conversation between a professor and a student talking about taking a course. First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
00:46
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25. me, Dr Twain. May I speak with you for a minute? Of course, please come in. I'm Charlotte York. I'm considering taking your course in tourism. Right. Well, Charlotte, how can I help you? I have been considering studying tourism. However, it is such an important decision
01:14
that I would like to seek some advice about it first. Would you mind answering some of my questions? Absolutely! Fire away! Well, I have been discussing courses with my parents and they are concerned that I will not be able to get a well-paid job with a degree in tourism. The reason that I want to study the course is that I have a great interest in the subject and I think I would really enjoy it.
01:41
I believe the only way that I will enjoy my life is if I enjoy my career. Happiness is far more important than money, don't you think? Absolutely. I would much rather be happy and poor rather than rich and miserable. Money cannot buy you happiness. I'm glad you agree. You needn't worry about money, Charlotte. A large part of the tourism course is dedicated to teaching students how to manage finances.
02:11
a skill that you can apply to your everyday life as well. I would also recommend that you take a sideline course in time management as this can be incredibly useful in efficiently planning your workload. Efficiency is the key to success. I'll remember that. Now, I have found that some students have natural talents that really help them to succeed in the course. Communication skills, for example, can be very beneficial. Do you have any strengths?
02:40
Maths was always my favourite subject at school, so I really enjoy solving mathematical problems. However, I find statistics quite difficult. I have always been very capable and self-sufficient. I have a lot of confidence in my abilities and will take the initiative in situations without needing to depend on anyone else for their help. That's a really great quality to have and will be particularly useful if you choose to study tourism.
03:10
That's great. I would recommend that you spend some of your time researching the course. A lot of people who are uneducated on the subject claim that tourism is a shrinking industry and that it will become irrelevant in the future. If you study the published research, however, you will see that the truth is quite the opposite. The industry has, in fact, grown significantly.
03:37
as people have developed an ever-increasing interest in culture and travel. Have you compared the university course with a polytechnic? Yes, I have. I was interested in studying the course in modules. However, the university doesn't offer that option. I don't have enough funds to be able to attend an expensive university, so I was relieved to see that the course is quite affordable.
04:04
I also considered attending a summer school instead of university to save money and so that I could work during the rest of the year. But I really wanted the university experience. oh
04:23
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26-30.
04:50
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30. Now, what about the courses? Are you interested in any of the other subjects on offer? I have looked at a few. I was interested in travel and business as it sounds similar to tourism. That is really worth learning. However, be aware that it is difficult and will demand a lot of your time. OK. That's good to know.
05:20
You might find that Japanese is an interesting course and it will teach you valuable skills in speaking the language. Personally, it's not bad and could be of some help, but not that much. Okay, Japanese. Got that. What about medical care? Well, if you have time, the course will teach you a lot about curing diseases and illnesses or dealing with injuries outside, although it's not essential.
05:49
So, okay, if it's useful, I'll take it. If you enjoy using technology and are worried about fulfilling the entry requirements, computing is very relaxed about the skills that applicants must possess. I'm terrible with computers, so I'm not sure that I would enjoy that course. How about public relations? Yes, I would recommend that course. It would be related to entering the tourism industry.
06:17
as it will educate you on how to approach clients and develop associations with them. That's great. Thank you so much for your help.
06:29
That is the end of section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
07:05
Now turn to section 4.
Underwater Archaeological Sites
00:00
In today's lecture, we'll be examining the role of underwater archaeological sites in uncovering details about ancient civilizations that might otherwise have been lost to time. These sites are particularly significant for studying cultures that left little to no formal records. A good example is the Maori's of New Zealand, whose history was passed down orally rather than through written documents.
00:30
In fact, they are frequently recognised as a society that lacked any form of written script. This made physical discoveries all the more important. What's fascinating is how much we can learn about people's daily routines and social behaviour from these remains. The arrangement of objects on board, for instance, can offer clues about the lifestyle of those who sailed centuries ago.
00:59
process of studying these shipwrecks has changed dramatically thanks to advancements in Researchers now rely heavily on underwater drones, sonar scanners and imaging software. Collectively this modern technology has made excavation more precise and far less invasive. Now, when we talk about causes of shipwrecks, it's easy to imagine warfare or piracy. But...
01:28
More often than not, the wrecks occurred due to natural forces. One of the most commonly cited causes is exposure to a violent storm, which ships at the time were not well equipped to withstand. Interestingly, the material recovered is sometimes used for more than just academic research. Museums and film producers often collaborate to create immersive exhibitions. In one recent case,
01:57
Artifacts were used in the making of a historical film gallery that visually narrated life on board a 17th century trading vessel. That said, researchers frequently face barriers in these investigations. In many locations, fragile ecosystems, unpredictable tides and limited access have severely restricted the amount of research that can be conducted on site. One particularly compelling case
02:25
involved a ship that appeared to be equipped for combat. The wreckage included what was believed to be a gun used to defend against pirate raids. A rare find that adds a dramatic dimension to our understanding of maritime risks. Equally intriguing was the discovery of a navigational map, still partially intact, which outlined the ship's intended course through trade routes active at the time. These maps
02:55
not only reveal destinations but also show the maritime knowledge of the era. So why were these voyages made in the first place? Well, much of it came down to profit. Many of these vessels were transporting precious materials, particularly gold, which was in high demand across expanding empires. And finally, it's not unusual for wrecks to yield personal and luxury items. In several cases,
03:24
Archaeologists have uncovered treasure collections featuring fine jewellery and antique coins, shedding light on both wealth and craftsmanship of the period.
