Boy                    What's that
you've got there?
Girl                      It's about
yetis. It's got some great photographs of them.
Boy                Oh, I thought they
didn't exist.
Girl         Well, according to this, they've found
footprints in the snow. And one man says he even shot one of them with a gun.

Boy

Really? That's amazing. Can I borrow
  it when you're finished?

Girl:

Yes, of
  course you can.
Dialogue two

Jackie

Oh, look, Amy! The Lost City of Atlantis. That's the one about the city
  under the sea. Do you want to go and see it?

Amy

I'm not sure, Jackie. I haven't read
  very good reviews of it. What time's it on?

Jackie

Erm. ..six o'clock and nine o'clock.

Amy

You could call the others. Maybe some of them want to go. You could go
  to the first showing and I could meet you in the café afterwards.

Jackie

Okay. Good
  idea. Let's do that.
Dialogue three

Boy

Some people say they were built as a kind of calendar. You know, so
  that they could predict the seasons.

Girl

Hmm. / don't think I really believe
  al/ that stuff. They just seem like interesting buildings to me.

Boy

You're probably right. Still, it's a
  mystery how they did it.

Girl

Do you think so? I think they just
  did it using a lot of men. It was probably really hard work, but I don't honestly
  see what all the mystery is about it.

Boy

Don't you? /
  think it's amazing.
Dialogue four

Boy 1

Have you heard of the Marie Celeste? I saw a programme about it on It
  was found sailing on the Atlantic and all the sailors had disappeared.

Boy 2

So where were they?

Boy 1

That's the
  strange thing. No one knows. Everyone on board had vanished. They even found
  meals that were half-eaten. Very strange.

Simon

Hey, Luke.

Luke

What? Er ... oh, sorry, Simon. Didn't see you there. It's just that
  this book is so interesting that I don't notice anything else. Sorry.

Simon

That's okay. What's it about?

Luke

The Bermuda Triangle.

Simon

The Bermuda what?

Luke

Triangle.
  Haven't you heard of it? It's an area of sea between Florida, Puerto Rico and
  Bermuda.

Simon

And what's so interesting about an
  area of sea?

Luke

Well,
  there's a great mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. Things keep ...
  well disappearing there.

Simon

Disappearing? What things?

Luke

Ships. Planes.

Simon

Well, they probably just crash, or sink, don't they?

Luke

Some of them do. But others just seem to... well... vanish. Something
  like 200 planes have disappeared in the last 60 years. Like this one. See the
  picture? In 1965, two people were flying in a plane like that over Bermuda on
  a clear, sunny day when it just disappeared from the radar screen. That's
  never been explained.

Simon

Really?

Luke

Yes, and
  it's the same story with boats. In 1918, there was a ship called the Cyclops
  with 306 people on it. It was in the Bermuda Triangle and it just disappeared
  and was never seen again.

Simon

That's a real mystery. Isn't there any explanation?

Luke

Well, yes,
  but different people have different ideas about it. Some people blame aliens.

Simon

What? That sounds crazy to me. What do you think?

Luke

I think there's probably a natural explanation for most of the
  disappearances. You know, a sudden storm could easily destroy a ship. And
  it's very easy for a pilot to get lost over the sea.

Simon

So maybe it's not so mysterious, after all.

Luke

Maybe. There are still some disappearances that are hard to explain,
  though. Even today, with all our modern technology, there are one or two a
  year. It's a great book — you should read it. I think I'd love to go and
  visit Bermuda one day, just to have a look.

Simon

Yes, that
  sounds wonderful. Talking of disappearing, I have to go. Lots of work to do.
  See you later.

Luke

Yes, okay. See you later.

Tapescript Exercise D
Speaker
1
Yes, I've heard of the Bermuda Triangle. It's in the
Atlantic Ocean and it's where planes and ships keep disappearing, isn't it?
There are lots of little islands around there, but I don't think it's a very dangerous
area, so it's a real mystery. I think the best explanation I heard was that the
sea in that area produces lots of gas and it can make ships sink and make
planes suddenly drop out of the sky. I'm not a scientist, but it makes a lot of
sense to me.
Speaker
2
Oh, yes.
The Bermuda Triangle. I saw a documentary about that once. They interviewed
local people about all the planes and ships that had disappeared and asked what
their theories were. Some of them talked about problems with the electrics on a
plane, but it didn't sound right to me. I think it's to do with visitors from
other planets. They want to study us so they take some of us and use that area
as a laboratory. At least, that's what I think. Everyone's got their own
opinion about it and that's mine.
Speaker
3
The
Bermuda Triangle? Yes, I've heard of it. I don't know much about it, but I do
know that it's a very mysterious area. I know that the American army and air
force have lost lots of planes in that area. I don't think anyone knows for
sure why that is. You can't explain it by looking at the weather conditions
because it's such a calm, peaceful area. No, I think that behind the whole
mystery you'll find that it's pilots getting lost or captains going the wrong
way. Simple accidents, if you ask me.

As soon

the phone, so I gave them one. I remember everything in great detail. Well, I
got a very good look at him. He was in his mid-thirties, with short brown hair.
He didn't have an earring — I know one of the other witnesses said he did, but
he didn't. He did have a gold chain around his neck, though. His clothes — he
was wearing a black shirt and jeans. The funniest thing was when he started
running down the street with the TV 'cos he dropped it and it smashed into
hundreds of little pieces! You should have seen his face!
Speaker
2
I saw the
whole thing very clearly. You see, I'd just been to the bank and was walking
down the street to run into the supermarket to get some milk. Well! I couldn't
believe it! He was just helping himself to a TV out of the shop window I don't
know if he smashed the window himself— / didn't see that. But I did get a good
look at him. He was quite tall. About, well, I'd say about twenty-five years
o/d. He was white, had short dark hair, and an earring in his left ear. Oh, and
he was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt
Speaker

Well, I
didn't get a very good look at him because I was in the car, driving past, you

people fit that description, so it was difficult to know where to start
looking. In fact, we caught the thief within an hour. At quarter past four I
got a message saying a man had been caught shoplifting by a security guard at a
local department store called Madison's. When / got to the shop, the man seemed
to fit the description of the TV thief. Eventually, he confessed to the crime.
And to another eight similar crimes. His name's Adrian Fisher, and he's forty-four years
old. He was sent to prison for four and a half years.

I think one
of my heroes is Nelson Mandela. He was born in 1918 in South Africa. When he

Africa faced a lot of problems from the white government Mandela believed in
using violence to change the situation and he was put in prison. He was in
prison for 27 years, but he never lost hope. When he was released, he soon became
the President of South Africa. I think his story teaches us that we should
never give up.

One of the
most famous astronauts is John Glenn. He was the first American to go into
space. That was in 1962. He went up in a rocket and went around the Earth three
times. The most amazing thing about him is that he went into space again, 37
years later! He went on a space shuttle mission in 1998, when he was 77 years

that he showed how you're never too old to do amazing things.

The famous person I most admire is Brad Pitt I think he
can act really well. He was born in 1963 in Oklahoma and grew up in Missouri.
He had a fairly normal, happy childhood and he loved films from a very young
age. He was always at the cinema, watching whatever was playing. After
university, where he studied journalism, he moved to California and spent all
his spare money on acting lessons. He got some work in television and finally
appeared in a major film in 1991. Now, he's one of Hollywood's top actors.

The space age
began on October 4th 1957, when the Soviet
Union
launched the world's first man-made satellite. Called Sputnik 1, it was about
the size of a basketball, and took only 98 minutes to go all the way round
Earth.
2
Although several
animals had traveled into space beforehand, including a dog called Laika, the
first human to travel in space was a Russian astronaut called Yuri Gagarin. His
incredible trip around the world took place in 1961.
3
Today, there are
thousands of satellites outside the Earth's atmosphere. We use them to send
phone calls, TV programmes and other kinds of information all round the world.
The Earth only has one natural satellite, though: the Moon, which is about
385,000 kilometres away.

The first person to
set foot on the Moon was Neil Armstrong, an American, in 1969.

Pluto is similar
to the Earth in that it only has one moon.

Although Pluto and
the Earth only have one moon each, Saturn has lots of moons — twenty four, in

The Sun — and the
Earth, the planets, and everything else in the Solar System — are constantly
moving through space. And they're moving fast: 240 kilometres a second!
8
The Moon goes
round the Earth once a day and the Earth goes round the Sun once a year. But
the Sun, and in fact the whole Solar System, is also revolving, as part of a
galaxy called the Milky Way. It takes a bit longer than a day or a year to go

Katy
Well, I
suppose / know lots of people. I've got a few really close friends, like Sam,
for example. She's probably my best friend because we've got a lot in common.
She's really amusing and is always making me laugh. We spend most of our free
time together. Then there's my family, of course. I've got a twin brother,
Tony, but we're not really like other twins. Most of the time we just argue and
annoy each other. I don't like fighting, but he does things like come into my
room without my permission and it makes me really angry. Another person I see
quite often is Mrs Wilkins. She gives private music lessons and she's teaching
me the clarinet. I like her, because she's never sarcastic or unkind when I
play wrong notes. She's very friendly and al/ her students like her.
And then there are people I don't see very often, like my cousin, Terry.
Terry lives quite far away, so I only see her about once or twice a year. We
get on very well and she's always willing to listen to my problems and give me advice. I
know that she understands and she tries to help if she can.

Katy,
it's me, Sam. About the cinema tonight. You won't believe it, but my brother's
broken his arm. My parents have taken him to hospital, so it means I have to
stay here to look after the baby. You know how much I hate babysitting. Anyway,
I can't make it, I'm sorry. I know it's annoying, but there's nothing I can do.
The film's on until Friday, / think, so maybe we can go one day next week. Give
me a call when you've got a minute and we'll arrange something. Bye for now.

It's Tony. Listen, Mum said I should tell you that you were right and / was

Hi, Katy! Guess who? It's Terry. It seems like ages

Jack

Hi, Zoe. What's that you're reading?

Zoe

Oh, hi, Jack. This? It's a magazine article that our English teacher
  gave us to read. It's about different personalities. It's got a quiz to find
  out what kind of person you are.

Jack

What do you mean?

Zoe

Well, you answer the questions and
  at the end the quiz tells you what you're like. Do you want to try it?

Jack

Yeah, sure.

Zoe

Okay. First question, then. What do you look for in a friend? Do you
  like people who a) tell jokes, b) give advice or c) gossip a lot?

Jack

Let me think. Well, definitely not c). / can't stand people who gossip.
  I don't think it's very nice to talk about other people when they're not
  there. Erm .
not b) because I keep my problems to
  myself, so .
  see, . a), yes ... definitely a), people who tell jokes.

Zoe

Really?
  Hmm. Maybe that's because you're a boy. I'm not sure that's very important to
  me. With my friends, I think I prefer people who give advice, so I'd say b).
  I like my friends to help me when I've got problems.

Jack

Okay, then. What about the next question?

Zoe

Question 2. Which of these do you dislike? a) people being late, b)
  people borrowing money, or c) people telling lies.

Jack

Dislike? Hmm. Let me think. Not a) people being late, because that's
  usually me. / think my friends find it a bit annoying, to be honest. /
  suppose / would say c) people telling lies.

Zoe

Yes, I agree. I think / would say c) as well. It's
  really annoying when people don't tell the truth, isn't it? You have to be
  able to trust people. Right. Next question. Which of these adjectives
  describes your best
a) hard-working, b) attractive or c) intelligent?

Jack

Hmm. Well, my best friend is Bill. He's in my  school and he's very clever. He's
  always cornyr-g of his class, and I'm never top of mine. He does- have to work al/ the time, either,
  to come top, s: I'd say c).

Zoe

Okay. I think I'd say b). My best friend is Alicia  she's really pretty. I like people
  who are attract-s don't know why.

Jack

Any questions left?

Zoe

One more. Question 4. Which of these do you the most? a) people who take life
  seriously, t)   who worry or c) people who argue.

Jack

Oh, that's a difficult one. Let me think. Everyore worries about some
  things, don't they, so not one. And we al/ have to take life seriously some: so / suppose I would say c), people
  who argue- about you?

Zoe

Oh, I
  disagree. I don't mind arguments. I think   sometimes you have a better
  relationship after

argument.
No, I'd say b) people who worry, they make me feel worried, too.
Jack                 So what do my
answers mean, then?
Zoe              Let me see ... Your
answers were a), c), c), c). Mostly
c)s. It
says, 'You have fun with your friends and like to have a good time.'
Jack                   Well, that's
true. What about you?
Zoe I
said b), c), b), b). Mostly b)s. It says, 'You can trust your friends to help
when you have a problem.' That's true, as well.

  We had to queue up for
  over an hour, as it's the most popular ride at the park. The wait was worth
  it, though. We sat right at the front, which / think is the most exciting
  place to sit. You go up and up and up, and then suddenly you're at the top —
  you can see the whole park — and then — you're going down, and everyone's
  screaming. You know, you're just going so fast, you think the wheels are

Presenter

Hello there and welcome to another edition of Teenage Troubles, the
  programme where teenagers just like you deal with your problems and try to
  come up with some solutions. This week, we've got three teenagers here in the
  studio with me and they're going to be giving their advice about some of your
  problems. We've got Anthony, from Edinburgh .

Anthony

Hello.

Presenter

Max, from London .

Max

Hello.

Presenter

and Jessica, from Ipswich.

Jessica

Hello.

Presenter

Hello to al/ of you. Now, you've all got our first letter in front of
  you. This is from John, a listener in Wales, and he says, 'My best friend is
  a girl, Sarah, and the other day I saw her taking something from another girl's
  bag. I didn't say anything, and she didn't see me. I've got no idea what to
  do. I feel very unhappy and I wonder if I should tell someone, like a
  teacher. How will Sarah feel if / do that? Do you think I should just forget
  it?' So, what do our teenagers in the studio think John should do? Anthony?

Anthony

Well, my
  advice is to speak to Sarah and let her know what you saw. Perhaps there's an
  innocent explanation. Maybe she had permission to go into the other girl's
  bag. Try not to jump to conclusions and remember you might be wrong. Just ask
  her about it

Presenter

Thanks, Anthony. Do you agree, Jessica?

Jessica

Yes, I'm sure Anthony's right. Even if she did steal something, it
  might be because she has a problem. You should see if she needs your help.

Presenter

Let's move on to our next letter. It's from Paul in London and he
  writes: 'It's not a huge problem, but I am a little concerned about my
  appearance. You know, everyone wants to look good and sometimes I just wonder
  if I'm fashionable enough. I'm not sure what clothes to buy.' Jessica? Should
  boys worry about how they look?

Jessica

Well, it's important to look your best. You should have clean hair and
  teeth and make sure your clothes are clean, but I don't think anyone should
  worry too much about the way they look. Have a look round some fashionable
  shops, Paul, to see what you like, but remember that fashions change all the
  time. It's more important to be honest about who you are.

Presenter

Okay. Our final letter today is from Adriana, who lives in Torquay in
  Devon. Adriana writes: 'My problem is with my best friend. It's awful. / know
  that she told someone one of my secrets and I wonder how many other things
  she's told people. Can you imagine not being able to trust your best friend?
  I can't tell her anything confidential. I don't know who to turn to for advice.'
  Well, quite a serious problem, isn't it, Max?

Max

Yes, it is. It's very important to al/ of us that we have

someone in our lives who we
can trust. My advice would be to think very carefully about it. Are you sure she
told someone one of your secrets? Is it possible that it could be a
misunderstanding? Make sure of that before you do anything. Then, what about
telling her how you feel? Maybe she did it because she thinks you don't care
any more.

Presenter

Well, that's al/ we've got time for
  today. Thanks to my guests in the studio, and I hope we've been some help.
  I'll be back with Teenage Troubles and three more studio guests tomorrow. So,
  it's goodbye from the studio .

a bear — a big brown bear. So Bob and Ben say 'How did you catch that?' and
Bill says: 'l just followed the tracks, and I caught it.' And then, of course,
the bear escaped because these hunters weren't very clever.
The next day, they meet up again. Bob's got a rabbit — a big, brown rabbit.
So Bill and Ben say to him: 'How did you catch that?' and Bob says, 'Well, I
just followed the tracks and I caught it.' Then the rabbit escaped, because the
hunters weren't very clever.
The next day, they meet again. Ben is badly injured.

Newsreader And now for today's sport.
It's been a real day of ups and downs on the pitches and courts across the
country. Tennis first and the Tina Bennett scandal continues. Bennett failed a
drugs test two months ago and doctors believe that her coach must have known
about it. Here's what Nirma/i Patel, the woman responsible for Bennett's
training, had to say to reporters earlier this afternoon.
Nirmali This suggestion is ridiculous and I completely deny it. I have
never, at any time, helped any of my athletes to win by illegal means. I shall
be demanding a complete apology from those who have repeated these comments.
Newsreader This seems to be a problem
that is growing in sport and one that carries many risks. I spoke to Dr Peter
Davies of the Sports Medical Council about the problem.
Peter Daws What many young athletes don't realize is
that drugs that improve your performance, apart from being illegal, can also be
very bad for your health. This is a very serious matter and we will be
presenting our evidence later today.
Newsreader Now let's turn our attention to ice-skating and there was an
incredible result in the European Junior Championship today when Oliver Carter
and Cicely Green, competitors in the pairs figure-skating, took the gold medal
with perfect sixes from every single judge. It's the first time the
championship has been won with a perfect score. John Adams finds out more.
John              It's the stuff that
dreams are made of. Last year, the young couple from Lincoln came a
disappointing seventh. They changed their coach, gave up their jobs as a
policeman and a nurse to concentrate on skating, and today was the result.
Their faultless performance had the crowd on its feet as soon as the music
stopped. There was never any doubt that Carter and Green would win. The only
question was by how much. I spoke to Chloe Howard, one of the people who
awarded the British pair their perfect sixes.
Chloe What we're looking for out there on the ice is power, control and
emotion. These two were just perfectly suited to each other. Most of us don't
give perfect scores very easily, but they really didn't put a foot wrong. None
of us will ever see a routine danced as perfectly as that one was. Absolutely
marvellous.
John
So they'll be celebrating in Lincoln tonight. Back to you in the studio,
Michael.

Hello, and welcome to Time Travellers, the programme
where we go back in time to talk to great people from the past and learn all
about their lives and the reasons why they've become well-known. Of course, we

from history about their work and themselves. In the weeks ahead, I'll be

talking about telephones. Did you know that there are about a billion phone
lines in the world? That's right. The USA is the country with the most phone
lines, about 200 million, but Greece with around 6 million and the UK with
around 36 million still have more than one phone line for every two people. Of
course, there are still some countries in the world where a phone is an

  helping people who had problems with speaking, although he never invented
  anything. His wife, my mother, was deaf and I was always interested in
  helping her so I eventually became a teacher of the deaf.

  communicate much faster

at the age of sixteen and still become a DJ That's the beauty of it! To get a
show like mine on national radio, you need to have lots and lots of experience,
probably starting in local radio. You've got to have a good, clear, friendly

Well, I
suppose it helps if you've studied photography at university or college, but I
do know some great photographers who've never really studied it It's more
important that you've got a very good sense of what makes a good picture — and
that comes really from experience. It's also a natural talent, though, I think.
Some people will never make good photographers, however much they study or
practise. For my job, you've also got to love traveling and, because / run my

Yes, you've got to have a university degree, and also a

the subject — it's also how well you can teach it to other people. They're
actually quite different things. You've got to like children, of course, and
you've got to be enthusiastic. If you're not enthusiastic, then the kids are
just going to get bored, aren't they? You've also got to be happy not earning a
lot of money!

Yes, well, you can't really become a judge without having been a lawyer

course, fair. You've got to have

Tonight on
  The Travel Show, we'll be looking at holiday nightmares, those times when
  nothing seems to go right. Whether it's your travel agent losing the tickets
  or your hotel not being finished, there are a thousand and one things that
  can go wrong on holiday. With me in the studio to discuss this is Sarah
  Turner from World Travel, the travel agent's. Sarah, welcome.

Presenter

Now, is it really that
  bad when things go wrong on holiday?

Sarah

Oh, yes. When you think that some people have saved money al/ year to
  go on holiday, it can be a real disappointment when things go wrong.

Presenter

Yes, I can imagine. Now, what kinds
  of things can go wrong on holiday?

Speaker
[1]
It was a camping holiday, so we spent two weeks in tents, which was okay,
I suppose. Tania enjoyed it more than I did. The beaches were great, though,
and it was worth it just to work on my suntan. The local restaurants were quite
cheap, although I wasn't too sure about the food, to be honest.
Speaker
2
It was very
warm for the time of year, too warm, I'd say. We didn't really do much
sight-seeing because we were just so tired from the heat. We spent some time in
a small art gallery, and it was nice to get out of the warm weather and see a
bit of local culture at the same time. It wasn't long before it was time to go
back to the hotel, where the air conditioning wasn't even working.
Speaker
3
It was a
really good holiday. Amazing Adventures, the company's called and they arrange
these adventure holidays. Horse-riding, swimming, rock-climbing, everything,
really. I wasn't so confident on the horses because I'd never done it before,
and I'll think twice before doing it again. Swimming wasn't so interesting
because I can do that at home. Getting up a rock without any help and then
looking down with a real sense of achievement. That's what / really wanted to
do more of.
Speaker
4
We were
expecting to get there and face problems with transport, and it was true for
the trains. No seats, and they were really dirty. It was the buses that
surprised us. They were on time, and the tickets were so cheap! Not like the
plane. We spent a fortune getting there and the mea/ they gave us was terrible.

Well, a good rule to follow is that if it can go wrong, it probably
  will. Probably the single biggest category of problems is problems with the
  hotel. It's not finished, or it's dirty, or it's not as nice as the brochure
  said it would be.

Tapescript Exercises B and D
Speaker
1
Well, if you're a film buff like / am, there's really no
alternative. I mean, of course watching films at home is more convenient
sometimes, but you lose so much of the atmosphere on the small screen. And
little local cinemas do have a certain charm, and they may well be cheaper, in
fact, but, you know, the sound quality and picture quality usually just aren't
good enough. No, you've got to have a choice of movie, a comfortable
environment, a big screen and top quality projection if you're really going to
get the best out of the whole viewing experience.
Speaker
2
When you're quite a large family, like we are, you
really have to think about the expense. And taking the kids to the pictures is
just too costly these days. So we generally just pop down to Darcy's on Saturday
morning and let the kids choose a couple of tapes. They actually have a lot
more choice that way, and, as I said, it's a lot cheaper. And they're quite
happy just sitting in front of the TV for a couple of hours, anyway.
Speaker
3
The
thing is, for me, I'll watch anything, see. You know, classic Oscarwinning movie
or complete rubbish. I just don't care. So it's easy just to turn on the box
and watch whatever's on. I'm actually not very good at making decisions, so I
let the programme schedulers do it for me. If I had to choose a video, or see
what's on at the local cinema, well, then I'd have to make a decision, wouldn't
l?!
Speaker
4
If it's a choice between watching a
movie on video or at the cinema then there's no contest — the cinema wins every
time. But, to tell you the truth, Barry and I don't really go to the movies
anymore. The telly's digital, and Barry's connected it up to the PC, so we've
got a kind of home entertainment system. It's fab! The quality's great, as youd
expect, but what I really like is the control you have. You know, 'cos it's all
on disk, it's all interactive. And some of the most recent releases even let
you choose the ending! No, I could never go back to video now.
Speaker
5
Well, a film's a film if you ask me, and, if it's any
good, it doesn't really matter where you see it. But I have to admit, there's
something special about watching a film under the stars on a summer's evening.
Reminds me of that movie Cinema Paradiso. And you've got a table, so you can
have something to eat and drink if you get peckish during the film. Lovely!
Suggested answers:
Speaker 1: You lose atmosphere on TV and
you need Speaker 2: Videos are cheaper and you have more choice.

Speaker
1
Yes, it's actually not the kind of film I usually like,
but I have to say it was done rather well. I guess because it wasn't all
special effects — there was actually some plot and characterisation too. And
the robots were really very funny and sweet. And they did provide some comic
relief from the big planetary battle scenes. No, could have been a lot worse.
Speaker
2
Oh, it was adorable. / think we enjoyed it more than the kids did! It was
about this little toy cowboy who feels threatened when his owner, you know, a
little boy, gets a new robot-thing for Christmas. The animation was fantastic!
It really did look real. Still, I don't think they draw them by hand these
days, do they? It's all done by computer.
Speaker
3
Yeah, it
was some kind of sentimental rubbish about a policeman who falls in love with a
bank clerk who he meets after a robbery. Typical stuff— they move in together,
split up, get back together. Bit boring, really, to tell you the truth.
Speaker
4
Well, it was Barry's choice, and / thought, 'Oh no, what's he gone and got
this time? ', but it was actually really rather fun. Loads of car chases and
people doing impossible things like jumping from one building to the next And
the scene in the cable car at the end was well, I was literally on the edge of
my seat. No, very good.
Speaker
5
Return of
the Vampire it was called, or something like that Made in 1964, but still quite
scary. About an aristocrat, who's actually the grandson of Count Dracula,
living in London. Loads of blood, and of course they get him in the end, but
not bad at all really.

Well, it's quite simple really. If there are scenes in a movie that are

Ask students to do this task in pairs. One student chooses an emotion from the
box and, without telling the other student what they have chosen, says the
first sentence in an appropriate tone of voice. The second student must guess
the tone of voice. The second student then says the same sentence in a

Narrator
Since first coming to the attention of the public in the hit film My
Previous Life, Denise Fenton has had the kind of career that most actresses can
only dream of. Her marriage to Tom Norris earlier this year caught al/ the
newspapers by surprise and her latest film, Settlers, seems certain to be a
huge success.
Nobody
could have expected it when Denise made her first stage appearance at the age
of nine in the school play, playing the part of a sheep. Teachers and friends
from those days remember Denise as a quiet, shy girl, and if she ever mentioned
any future ambitions, then they never went beyond going to university and
studying to become a vet.
Once she
moved to London, though, Denise was exposed to the theatre in a way that hadn't
been possible in the small northern town where she had grown up. She soon
realised what her true talents

[repeated]                                                                                were
and enrolled in drama school where she met the director Peter

Jones, who was a major influence on both her
professional and private lives. After graduating, Peter and Denise moved out to
Hollywood together, for the first three years renting a small flat above a
supermarket on the outskirts of town. In interviews, they both remember those
days as hard. Peter spent months trying to sell his ideas to producers, while
Denise attended dozens of auditions. Both of them spent some time doing a
variety of odd jobs, Peter working in a bar for a year and Denise waiting on
tables in a restaurant, to make enough money to pay the rent each month.
Eventually,
Peter knocked on the door of Andy Foster at Panoramic Studios and presented him
with the script to My Previous Life. Andy loved it and was introduced to
Denise. He saw immediately that she was perfect for the part of Henrietta and
production started three months later. When the film was released, it broke all
box-office records and shot Denise Fenton to international stardom. [repeated]

a very healthy diet.

Speaker

Interviewer

Why do you think that was?

Speaker

Well, of course the Indians generally don't eat beef for religious
  reasons, so most meat is lamb or chicken. Compared to the West, though, it's
  quite expensive for the ordinary Indian. You have to remember that many
  people in that country are poor, very poor by European standards. They will

Speaker
1
It was a little Spanish place. I'd told Sean to book but he'd thought wed
be all right if we just took a chance. We got there at about nine and it looked
like we were in luck. We went in and sat down and started looking through the
menu. They've got some wonderful dishes, and it wasn't as expensive as I'd
heard it was. I was just making up my mind when a waiter came over and pointed
to the little 'reserved' sign on the table. They all had them. It was a bit
embarrassing, actually, because wed already started drinking the water that was
there. We had to get something on the way home.
Speaker
2
'Uncle Sam's', it was called. It was supposed to be a kind of quality American
restaurant, rather than just a burger place. I wanted to try the chilli,
thinking that it would be good because America is so close to Mexico. I went
with Richard and he decided to go for the Cajun chicken. They were right when
they said it wasn't the same as fast food. It took three quarters of an hour to
arrive! We were starving! / think we would have eaten anything by that time. In
the end, we weren't disappointed. I'd definitely recommend it, although they're
a bit slow.
Speaker
3
I don't know if that's what they're al/ like, because I'd
never been to an Indian restaurant before. Wed reserved a table and the waiter
showed us to our seats when we arrived. They brought us a menu and recommended
a few things, which was fine because we weren't really sure what we were doing.
What I hadn't realised, though, was that they did takeaways as well, so we were
there all night with the phone going and people queueing and chatting. For what
we paid, I was really expecting something else.
Speaker
4
Wed been over to Greece on holiday, so
we knew what to expect the first time we went, more or less. It's run by a
family and the mother does all the cooking, which means you really get a homemade
taste. We thought it would have been more popular. In the end, we needn't have
bothered booking. I loved the atmosphere as much as the food, although the
music was a bit loud, maybe. I think they have somebody playing live at
weekends.
Speaker
5
All I'd heard about Japanese food
before was that they eat uncooked fish, so / wasn't really sure when Alex
suggested it. It said in the advert in the paper that booking wasn't necessary,
so maybe it's not very popular. The problem is not knowing what to order, but
the waiters were helpful, apart from a bit of a language problem. I was
surprised that there was such a range of different dishes. What we had was
quite salty, but I suppose you should expect that with fish. I'd have to say
that it's an acquired taste. Alex was keen, but he'll try anything once.

Interviewer Those of you who have seen Channel 12's latest cookery programme,
Leave it to Cook will be familiar with my next guests, chef Trisha White and
comedian Patrick
Hamilton.
Trisha, how did you first become a TV chef?
Trisha It all happened completely by chance. I was working at the Hilton
when I suddenly got a phone cal/ asking me to rush over to the studio. Their
regular TV chef
had got
ill and they wondered if I could take over for one programme. In the end, I
seemed to do a good enough job and they asked me to do a whole series and I
came up with the idea for Leave it to Cook.

Interviewer

And how did you get involved, Patrick?

Patrick

Well, as
  your listeners will know if they've seen the programme, at the start of the
  series I couldn't cook a thing. You know, I'm one of those men who went
  straight from my mum's cooking to my wife's. Channel 12 contacted me and we
  actually did a cooking audition. I made a complete mess and they said I was the
  man for the job.

Interviewer

Now, each week you, Trisha, choose a
  dish, demonstrate how to make it and then Patrick has a go.

Trisha

That's right. We hope to show that there really isn't any great secret
  to good, basic cookery. I think Patrick will agree that some of his efforts
  are better than others, but we want to get across the idea that everybody can
  have a go.

Patrick

The idea is that if I can learn to do it, then so can anybody. Before
  the series, I really was the kind of person who would even burn water. Now,
  though, I think that I could feed myself if I had to. Men, especially, are
  very bad at looking after themselves, and we want to make the point that with
  five minutes' thought and twenty minutes' cooking a day you can really
  improve your diet.

Interviewer

What does your family think about
  your new abilities?

Patrick

Well, my wife cooks
  very well, so I don't think her position is under threat just yet. There have
  been one or two experiments, like my Spanish omelette with chocolate, that
  the dog appreciated more than my children, but on the whole they think it's a
  positive thing.

Interviewer

Trisha, what would be your tips for
  listeners who are thinking of taking up cooking?

Trisha

First of all, don't be afraid. Even if it's a disaster, you

can always order a takeaway. Secondly, experiment. You
can only find what you like if you try some things you don't like. Follow the
basic principles you learn through the series and then follow your nose. You
can't go too far wrong. [repeated]

lizards? But there's al/ sorts of other useful information, too. In fact,
anything you want to know about the weather since they first started collecting
data several hundred years ago. Want to know the hottest day on record in
Britain? It's there. Which town has the highest average rainfall each year?
This'll tell you. Want to know every occasion it's snowed in London in the last
four hundred years? Well, you can find out here.
Another interesting feature is the quiz page. There are
over a thousand questions in total, graded from beginner through to expert. See
how much you really know about weather and climate. And if you want to know the
difference between a tornado and a cyclone, or when a gale becomes a hurricane,
there's a handy little dictionary where you just click on the word and up comes
an explanation, usually with photos or video film. It's bright, fun and
informative, and there are some useful links too to other weather-related
websites, like the Meteorological Office's own official website. The website's
very easy to navigate around, so it's idea/ for teenagers doing a school
project, but anyone interested in matters meteorological should check it out.
The whole thing was put together by students from Goldman College, so a big
thumbs up to them. And now, let's move on to another website . [repeated]

Well, you wouldn't believe it, would you, that this kind of thing could make
such a difference to someone's life, but it really has! I mean, it used to take
me hours to set the thing, and I'd always do it wrong and end up taping the
wrong programme. And I do video rather a lot, I have to admit. With this thing,
/ just press a couple of buttons and it's al/ programmed in. Don't even have to
go near the machine. And look, I press this and a list comes up on the screen
telling me what's on tonight. All the channels. Click this button here, and it
tells you what the programme's about. Marvelous! [repeated] Speaker 2
Well, I was a bit sceptical at first, I have to admit. Couldn't really see
the need But then my neighbour Car/ got one, and he'd come over for a barbecue
or something, snapping away al/ afternoon, and then he'd pull out a little
screen and we could see what he'd taken. It was great. Wed choose the ones wed
like, he'd pop home, put them on his computer and print them out —just like
that. Good quality, too. Course, if you want professional quality, you still
have to take them to the chemist or whatever to get them processed onto proper paper.
[repeated]
Speaker
3
Once you've got one — and I'm not exaggerating — you really wonder how
you ever managed without one. It's got al/ my phone numbers in it, a
calculator, loads of things, and this one here, well, I just press this button
and it sends all the information to my laptop. I can even write e-mails on it,
you know, to transfer to my PC later on. And really, it's smaller and lighter
than a diary, so you can just slip it in your jacket pocket. Really handy!
[repeatedl Speaker 4
Oh, I don't know. I ought to use it more, really. Thought / would, but,
you know, (something exciting's happening, like a party or something, you want
to be part of it, don't you? Don't want to be stuck just filming the whole
thing. And, let's be honest, who wants to sit though a three hour video of
people chatting. Not very interesting, is it, really? / guess it would be great
if you wanted to make a little movie, though, or something like that.
[repeated] Speaker 5
D'you know, what I like most about it
are the little extra things you get with it. You know, there's an alarm clock
and a calculator. It's even got a couple of games on it. / really only actually
use it to make calls if it's an emergency. You know, if the car breaks down or
something and you're miles from anywhere. I've never actually sent a text message,
but my husband sometimes sends me one asking me to record a programme or
something if he's going to be late home from the office. I'm not very good at
setting the video, though, so / usua//y pretend I didn't get it! [repeated]

Tapescript Task B

Presenter

I'm very
  pleased to be joined in the studio by Marjorie and Steve Renwick, the
  founders of the hugely successful website Friends Back Together. Marjorie, can
  I start by asking you, how did the idea for the website come about?

Marjorie

Well, it was about two and
  a half years ago, and I was trying to organise a school reunion. It was so difficult,
  you know, everyone had moved to different parts of the country, some people
  had moved abroad, lots of the girls I'd been to school with were married, and
  so of course had changed their surnames and I was, well, / was basically
  tearing my hair out and
Steve just turned to me and said,
  'This calls for the Internet.' And the idea was born.

Presenter

So, that was, what, two and a half years ago?

Steve

Yes, but it took a while to set up, of course. We didn't actually open
  for business, as it were, for about a year after that —

Marjorie

March the sixth last year, in fact —

Steve

That's right, and it proved to be
  the most successful website of the year.

Presenter

How many people have visited your site?

Marjorie

It's actually incredible, when you think about it. We're now getting
  about a hundred and fifty thousand visitors a week. That's almost a million
  each —

Steve

D'you know,
  since we started, there must have been well over eight million visitors. And
  over three quarters of them have entered their information.

Presenter

Why do you think it's so popular?

Steve

I think it fills a need. You know, you make such good friends during
  your schooldays, and then, inevitably, you drift apart and, in the past, it
  was just too difficult to get back in touch with them. As we found out
  ourselves when Marjorie was trying to get her reunion together.

Marjorie

/ think it's also, you know, we're al/ naturally inquisitive. We're
  always thinking, 'l wonder what they're up to now?' and things like that.
  With Friends Back Together, you can find out how people you used to know are
  getting on. And hopefully meet up with some of them.

Presenter

You've had some great successes in that department, I believe.

Steve

Some lovely stories, yes. There was a couple — you probably read about
  them in the press — both in their eighties, hadn't seen each other for over
  fifty years, met through Friends Back Together and got married last month. It
  really does make it al/ worthwhile.

Presenter

Wonderful. So, where do you go from here?

Marjorie

Well, we're actually extremely busy running the site at the moment.
  It's quite time-consuming — much more than you'd think, to be honest — but
  we're planning to take a break early next year and then —

Steve

Well, let's just say we've got a
  couple of major projects in the pipeline.

Presenter

On the Internet? Can you give us any clues?

Steve

Let's just say that they will be on the Internet, they will be designed
  to bring people together, they will be unique, but they won't be like Friends
  Back Together at all. I can't say anymore!

Presenter

Well, the very best of luck with whatever you go on

to do. Thank you so much for being here today, and thank
you also for Friends Back Together. You've brought some sunshine into a lot of
people's lives.

It gets worse every time it rains and it's starting to get really
dangerous. The road surface needs completely replacing. There are holes
everywhere and I'm worried that a car is going to come round this bend and the
driver's going to lose control. I must have called a dozen times and they still
haven't sent anyone round to have a look They say there are other, more
important problems. / know they have to repair al/ the roads around here, but
it's been like this for over two years now.
Speaker
2
They come through here because they can get into the
centre of town more quickly. This road wasn't built for that amount of traffic,
though. It's only narrow. This is a residential area and there are children
playing in the street. One of these days there'll be a serious accident, but
there are things that could be done to prevent it. I've called them to come and
stop drivers who are speeding, but they say they're too busy catching the real
criminals. They just don't want to know. They'll be sorry one day.
Speaker
3
It's just so dangerous for them in the streets, where they can get
knocked down. / see them from my window. They play games in the road and cars
come racing around that corner without slowing down. One girl was hit last
month. Luckily, it wasn't serious, but they might not be so fortunate next
time. They shouldn't be allowed to play there, really. I make sure my daughter
is where I can keep my eye on her.
Speaker
4
It seems to me that they don't have all the training they need to move
around town safely. All the driving instructors do is help them get through the
test, and who can blame them? Well, I've taken the test, and / know that it's
very easy. You can't expect people to be safe drivers when al/ they have to do

1    It was the oldest coach you've ever
seen. I couldn't believe it when the driver turned up. He was very apologetic,
but it was the only one available, apparently. Something to do with his manager
making a double booking. At least, that's what he said We set off and there was
no air conditioning, and this was in the middle of summer. He opened the
windows, but it didn't help. It was a long way, as well. I thought we were
going to get lost at one point, but it was some kind of short cut that the
driver had found on the map. In the end, we were half an hour early. [repeatedl

have to be very careful because you're dealing with people's lives every day.

getting on, though. There are safety checks and al/ kinds of paperwork to be

Interviewer

Would you
  say there were any problems with the routes you take?

Man

Now you mention it, there are one or two things that could be better.
  Nobody wants to travel on dirty buses, and sometimes they look like they
  haven't been cleaned for months. And then there's the cost. It seems like the
  fare goes up every couple of months, for no good reason.

Interviewer

Are there
  any aspects of the service which you believe work well?

Man

You don't
  want to be waiting for too long when you have to get to work. The buses are
  on time, which is a big improvement. / remember when you couldn't be sure
  whether the 501 would turn up or not. The monthly bus pass is another good
  thing. / don't have to worry about change now because I can just buy my pass
  once a month and keep it in my wallet.

Interviewer

Now, I don't know if you've heard of the new park and ride scheme we're
  thinking of setting up. The idea is that visitors stop at large car parks on
  the edge of the town and a special bus service takes them into the town
  centre.

Man

Sounds like a good idea.

Interviewer

Two locations are being considered for the car park.
The first is in the north and the
  second in the south. Which of those would you prefer?

Man

Well, when you say the north, I
  suppose you mean in the area around Upton. That's logical from one point of view
  because there are lots of tourists coming that way. There might be a problem,
  though, with it being a long way from the centre. / can't see people wanting to
  spend half an hour on a bus to do a bit of shopping.

Interviewer

And the
  site in the south? That would be in the Riverside area.

Man

You can see how it would help local development. The people in that
  area have needed something for a long time. One positive point is that it
  would probably create more jobs locally. The downside is that the building
  work would probably cause a lot of environmental damage. Riverside is a
  beautiful area and you're talking about building a great big car park, not to
  mention bus shelters and things like that.

Interviewer

Thank you for your time.

Man

Not at all.

  and study. Someone suggested that / start to put some of my stories down on paper. My idea was

Since / first came here, there
have been many changes. Rather than a place of punishment, we see ourselves as a place where
correct behaviour is rewarded. As warden, I'm responsible for seeing that we
keep control, which we do by keeping the men busy, but also that the men
are prepared for life outside. Through our educational programmes, we hope to give the men
skills they can use when they get out. Funds are limited, so we're not always
able to offer the kind of
facilities that we would like to offer, but we do our best.
Speaker 2
I guess / just started to hang
out with the wrong crowd. In the end, I was caught for burglary and I've been here for three months.
/ knew
al/ about it from friends, so / think I'm managing to survive pretty well. We keep hearing about
education and things like that, but the guards don't know how to teach. They
just read from a book and
expect you to learn something. We should have people in here who know what
they're doing.
Speaker 3
As a prison
inspector / get to see the inside of many prisons, and I can tell you
that this one is by no means the worst. However, where most of them have a
fairly strict working regime, here the men are underemployed. Taking money from
the library and spending it on tools and materials would certainly achieve
better result' Keep them
occupied and they have no time to discuss plans dr to worry about what's going
to happen on the outside. It's the only way.
Speaker 4
I came here about ten years
ago, so I've seen a lot of life inside. There's a joke amongst the guards that we've been in here
longer than most of the prisoners. It makes al/ the difference in the world
to be able to go home at night, though, I can tell you. There's a lot of debate
about prison at the
moment. What / see is the same faces coming back time and time again. The
problem is that they go out, they're unemployed, they steal and they're back in here. As long as
they keep sending them, we'll have to keep dealing with them, won't we?
Speaker 5
I've been in here ... oh ... about five
years now. It's not so bad, I suppose, but it's a long way from my family. The
last place / was in, Pentonwood, now that was the place to be sent to. Sports
facilities, TV rooms, fully-trained teachers, only half an hour for my wife
to come and visit. This
place ... well ... it was a shock, I don't mind telling you. The warden's not
so bad — he's got some good ideas — but the guards in here just never seem to
get behind his suggestions.
Not what I was used to.

Presenter

In trouble at twelve, in prison at eighteen
  and a bestselling author at thirty-eight. My guest tonight is Michael
  McGregor, who describes himself in his latest book as 'still looking for
  trouble'. Michael, welcome to the show.

Michael

Thank you.

Presenter

Now, you
  were released from Parkview prison just over seven years ago. What was it like at Parkview?

Michael

It wasn't too bad for most of the men in there. The food has
  improved a lot since the early days, and there's a lot more to do in prison than there was when I
  first went away at the age of eighteen.

Presenter

Did you
  feel that it prepared you for life on the outside?

Michael

I'm not sure that any prison really does
  that. They might keep dangerous men off the streets and they might prevent
  some people from committing crimes. You're on your own, though, when it comes
  to building a life for yourself.

Presenter

So, how
  did you decide to build a life for yourself?

Michael

I'd been in prison for something
  like ten years and I

that it might help young people stay out of trouble if they knew what had happened to me. Two
years later

I had a book and it just grew
  from there, really

Presenter

Inside Out was a great success while
  you were still in prison. How did that feel?

Michael

That was a little strange, but very
  satisfying at the same time. One of the things that pushes people
  into crime is the feeling that there's no hope in their lives. I think seeing
  that you could achieve things, even from inside prison, gave some of the
  people in prison a
  feeling of hope again. I was very proud of that.

Presenter

Your latest book, Over the Wall, goes back in time to your childhood.
  What do you think now when you look back at those years?

Michael

I think a lot of things. First of
  all, / think how stupid / was. My family was always poor, but I don't blame that for
  the wrong things / did. You know, on TV and in the news, criminals are
  presented as people who try to blame anybody but themselves for their crimes.
  In fact, most people I
  met inside felt very guilty about the things they had done and
  blamed themselves.

Presenter

You've
  also been asked by the government to advise on changes to prisons, haven't
  you?

Michael

Yes, that's right. Some major changes are
  being planned, particularly to the kind of courses being offered in prisons.
  It's felt that more education, particularly things like the use of computers,
  will help people stay out of prison, and I have to say I agree.

Presenter

You also believe that sport can be a
  useful way of helping people to stay out of trouble.

Michael

Yes. / know from my own experience that sport becomes very important in
  prison. It gives prisoners an aim and a reason to work together. When you eventua//y
  leave prison, it's essential that you know how to work with other people.

intro:
Аудирование этот тот раздел, который нельзя отложить, остановить, с него начинается экзамен и повторить его уже не получится.
Как и в ОГЭ, Аудирование включает три задания разной степени сложности, и сложность эта увеличивается с каждым заданием. Аудиозапись каждого из трех заданий звучит 2 раза.
Общие рекомендации по работе с данным разделом есть в моей библиотеке, просто ищите в сделанных мной публикациях.
