Conversation 1
Janet So, are you looking for anything in particular?
Mark Maybe a T-shirt or a polo shirt.
Janet We could go into the covered market and have a look at the shops in there.
Kate And what about you?
Janet I need some cosmetics化妆品from the Body Shop on Cornmarket Street.
Kate And I'm looking for something to wear to Jenny's party tonight. But nothing too expensive. Anyway, look,
let's go in here.
Assistant Can I help you?
Kate We're just looking.
Mark What do you think of this one?
Kate Hmm, it's OK, but I'm not sure green suits you. Do they have it in other colours?
Janet What size do you take?
Mark Medium, I guess. Oh, here's a nice polo shirt. I like the colour. It's a bit small, though.
Janet Do they have it in a larger size?
Mark Yes, here we go. That's great.
Janet How much is it?
Mark Twelve pounds. That's not too bad. I'll buy it.
Mark I'll have this, please.
Assistant That'll be 12 pounds please. ... Thank you. ... And here's your shirt, and here's your receipt.
Mark Thanks.
Mark Look, I've really got to go. I'll see you at the party tonight.
Kate OK.
Janet Bye.
Conversation 2
Janet OK, Kate. Now it is time to find something for you. What about this dress?
Kate Hey, that's lovely.
Janet Would you like to try it on?
Kate Yes, OK. Where are the changing rooms?
Assistant Just behind you.
Kate Thank you. ... What do you think?
Janet Well, it really suits you, but...
Kate ... it's a bit big. Excuse me, do you have this in a smaller size?
Assistant What size do you take?
Kate Size 8, I think.
Assistant No, I'm afraid we don't. That's the last one.
Kate No, it doesn't really fit. OK, I'll leave it.
Janet Actually, I really like it.
Kate Why don't you try it on, then?
Janet OK. ... What do you think?
Kate Perfect. It really suits you.
Janet It's a bit expensive.
Kate Go on! You deserve it!
Janet OK, I'll have it. But I don't have enough cash. ... Can I pay by credit card?
Assistant Sure.
Janet Thank you.
Assistant Please enter your PIN. ... And here's your receipt.
Janet Thank you.
Assistant Thanks a lot.
Kate That was painless, wasn't it? But I still don't have a dress for the party. Let's try somewhere else. Assistant Bye.
Girls Bye.

Part 1
Voice-over Do you have something you don't want anymore? Maybe you'll just throw it away. Or you could sell it.
How? Well, you might want to sell it in the newspaper classified ads. Or you could sell it on a bulletin board. You could put a sign on it. Or find a buyer. If you have lots of things you don't want anymore, you could have a yard sale or a garage sale. And today there is a new way to sell your things. You can sell them online. If you have something you want to sell online, Jessica Sherman can help you.
Jessica I'm an eBay seller. I can sell anything, from cars to pianos, to bikes, furniture, anything. Anything in an
online auction. Here's how an online auction works. Let's say you want to buy something. You can type in what you're looking for here, or you can search these categories. See, you can buy all kinds of things. You can
buy antiques, computers, musical instruments, you can even buy a house! Well, let's look at cameras. In an auction, people who want to buy this camera make an offer, say, $50. An offer is called a bid. And people who make bids are called bidders. There are 16 bids for this camera right now, and the top bid is $300 and the auction for this camera will end in nine hours. I help lots of people sell different things online. My customers might come to me, or I might go to them and we look at what they have to sell.
Part 2
Jessica Lisa?
Lisa Hey!
Jessica Hi. It's Jessica. Nice to meet you.
Lisa You too.
Jessica How did you find me?
Lisa Well, I saw your flyer down at the coffee shop.
Jessica Oh, great! What do you have here?
Lisa Well, I've got these five designer dresses, and they all have original tags.
Jessica They look great, and the tags will definitely help get a better price. How much do you want to get for each
dress?
Lisa Well, I'd like to get $50.
Jessica Probably get 50, but you might make a little less.
Lisa That's fine.
Jessica Great. Well, let's do it! This is great. This is cute!
Lisa Hm mmh.
Jessica Oh, I love this one. Let's post this one. You know, Lisa, this is a perfect summer dress. I think we should
take the picture outside.
Lisa Good idea!
Jessica This is how it works. Lisa pays a fee between two and ten dollars to put her dress online.
Jessica I've got my camera right here.
Jessica I get 15% commission and the buyer pays for the dress and the shipping costs. First I take pictures. Then
we'll decide how many days we'll put her dress up for auction. Three, five, seven or ten days.
Jessica Now, you have a choice of a three-, five- or seven-day auction. What would you like to do?
Lisa Well, um, how about seven days?
Jessica That's exactly what I would recommend.
Jessica After I take the picture, I list the item. To do that, I enter the information about it.
Jessica Well, the description is really important. The details will help sell the dress. Oh, there are so many dresses
online that we need to show how this one is unique. You know, we could put a reserve price on this.
Lisa Reserve price? What's that?
Jessica Well, a reserve price is when we set a minimum price for the dress and if the bids don't reach that price, the
dress won't sell.
Lisa What do you think?
Jessica In my experience, if we don't use a reserve price we'll get more bids, and it'll be much more exciting, and
you might make more money.
Lisa Yeah, let's do it!
Jessica All right!
Jessica Now we agree to pay the listing fee. It's the last thing that we do, and the dress is up for auction. Person 1 Yes, I shop online.
Person 2 Yes, I shop online.
Person 3 Yes, I shop online.
Person 4 I do not shop online.
Person 5 Yes, I shop online.
Person 4 I don't have a computer.
Person 6 I shop online all the time.
Person 5 I shop online once a month.
Person 3 I shop online probably every couple of months.
Person 1 I shop online three or four times a year.
Person 4 I shop in stores.
Person 2 When I shop online I buy CDs.
Person 7 I buy some of my supplies online.
Person 3 I usually buy books or music when I, when I, uh, shop online.
Jessica Now I check on the items I've listed. I wonder how Lisa's dresses are doing! Are there any bids? We've got
some interested buyers here! These dresses will definitely sell. At the last minute, you often see prices going up.
Lisa Hello?
Jessica Lisa?
Lisa Oh, hey Jessica! How did the auctions go?
Jessica I have some good news!
Lisa Yes?
Jessica We did really well. We sold all five dresses for $210.
Lisa Oh, that's wonderful! Thank you so much!
Jessica Isn't that great? Well, I will be sending you a check in the mail.
Lisa Oh, thank you. Have a good day.
Jessica Great. Thank you so much, Lisa. Bye-bye.
Jessica These dresses sold very well. Now it's my job to make sure that we get paid and to ship the dress to the
buyer. I think online selling is fun. And you probably will be successful if you've got great items, good descriptions说明, and great photos. And you might make a lot of money.

Passage 1
Speaker 1］
Interviewer So, how are you enjoying yourself in St Petersburg? What's it like?
Speaker 1 Oh, I think it is a very beautiful place.
Interviewer What sort of... Is it good for shopping? What do you buy in St Petersburg?
Speaker 1 Yes, there are things you should buy. Of course, vodka is very good here and the other thing very
expensive is the caviar. It is beautiful. Then there are the dolls. What have do they say? Matrioshka dolls. Interviewer Matrioshka dolls. Those wooden dolls that go inside each other?
Speaker 1 Yes, you take one out and open the top and there is another one. You take off the top and there is
another. They get very very small inside. Very small.
Interviewer OK.
Speaker 1 And of course, the chess. Because they are very famous here in this part of the world to play the chess. Interviewer Yes. And what sort of shops are there? Where's it best to shop?
Speaker 1 Oh, here there are very good department stores, where you can buy everything that you like, clothes and
everything. And also, lots of small kiosks that are very unique独一无二的, owned by different shopkeepers, you know. And they are all over St Petersburg. Little kiosks and also markets that are very good. And there is a very good museum shop at the museum - at the Hermitage Museum.
Interviewer And what are the opening hours?
Speaker 1 At the museum?
Interviewer Well, all shops, generally. What are the opening hours ... for shopping?
Speaker 1 Yes. Usually, they open at around 10 o'clock in the morning and I think they are open to 7 o'clock at
night; sometimes even longer, to 8 o'clock.
Interviewer And how do you, how do you actually buy things? How do you pay for things? I think, there is a
slightly different way of doing this in Russia.
Speaker 1 Yes, you point to the thing that you want to buy, which is usually behind the counter or something like
that; and then you go to a cash desk to pay. And then you have to go back to the counter and then you take the thing you have bought.
Interviewer It sounds as though it's quite a long process.
Speaker 1 It is very interesting.
Speaker 2
Interviewer So, how are you enjoying it in Cairo? What's, what's the shopping like?
Speaker 2 Oh, it's fantastic. And the shopping is absolutely great. Um, you can get everything from fantastic little
wooden boxes. You can get backgammon boards. You can get all kinds of leather stuff-sandals and so on. Oh, and the thing that they're really famous for here of course, is the water pipes that they call it a sheesha.
Interviewer A sheesha. OK. That's the water pipe.
Speaker 2 That's right, yes. Yes, they like the smoking here.
Interviewer And where are the best places to shop?
Speaker 2 Well, I think the best place actually here is to go, if you go to the mediaeval market. It's a commercial
centre in the middle of Cairo and - er - they sell lots of fantastic souvenirs there. You can get spices, er, you can get gold and silver, and copper stuff, and - er - they also sell your fruit and veg.
Interviewer Uh-huh. When does it open? When are the shops open?
Speaker 2 Well, the hours are very good. They open very early in the morning. They stay open till about 10
o'clock at night. You do have to remember, of course, that they take a very long lunch break. So, they are closed for this long time in the afternoon but they, you know, re-open and stay open until late. Oh, and the other thing you have to remember is that they - everything is closed on a Friday.
Interviewer Right, and how do you pay for things? Do you have to bargain for, for goods?
Speaker 2 Well, bargaining is absolutely a sport here. Uh, they, they do prefer cash always. I think some of the
tourist shops will take credit cards but only in the tourist shops. When you start the, the bargaining, you've got to be, well, first of all, you've got to be definite and serious about what you're buying. But don't offer anything like the price that they're asking, the original price. You know, go in at about half the price of what they're asking you.
Interviewer That's fascinating迷人的. Thanks very much. Thank you.
Speaker 2 That's a great place.
Speaker 3
Interviewer So, how's your visit to Venice? Is it good?
Speaker 3 Oh, amazing. What a place. It's so unique!
Interviewer Have you done any shopping? Is it a good place to shopping?
Speaker 3 Yes, definitely. They're - you must go and see the glass factories on Murano. They're just something
else. Quite expensive but you can get little bits of glass, really nice. Sheets of paper are really nice.
Interviewer Yeah.
Speaker 3 Also, lace is just... exquisite lace.
Interviewer Yes.
Speaker 3 Carnival masks, also. All hand-painted.
Interviewer Yes, Carnival, yes. I've seen this.
Speaker 3 Then, the shops are amazing.
Interviewer And where's the best place to shop in Venice?
Speaker 3 OK, well, the main shopping street is a street from St Mark's Square to the Academmia Bridge. That's
the main bit But if you like food, you have to go to the market at the Rialto Bridge. That's just great food. There's not that many department stores.
Interviewer No.
Speaker 3 There's just not room for them on the island.
Interviewer No. And what time do these shops open and close? What are the opening hours9
Speaker 3 Oh, they open in the morning at about 9 or 9.30. And then they close for lunch 12.30 or 1. They'll
reopen again - in the winter, 3.30 to 7.30 and in the summer just a bit later - 4 to 8, say.
Interviewer Right. And how do you pay? Can you use credit cards or do you have to use cash?
Speaker 3 Well, you know, just use cash for the smaller items and they accept credit cards most places for the
larger ones, but just make sure you get a receipt.
Interviewer Yeah. And are the shops open all week or is there one day when they ...?
Speaker 3 Yeah, oh, actually, Monday, they are traditionally closed.
Interviewer Yeah, they are closed. Right. Thanks. Well. Sounds very interesting.
Passage 2
Speaker 1 Have you ever gone down to the local supermarket for some milk or bread and come out with far more
than you intended打算 to buy? Then you've fallen for the top ten tricks to separate you from your money. Here are the top ten tricks to make you shop.
Speaker 2 Number ten. Trolley or basket? Make up your mind.
Speaker 1 If you choose a basket, there'll be some heavy goods by the entrance to make you choose a trolley. If
you choose a trolley, there's a chance you'll want to fill it up. Make up your mind what you want to buy before you go into the store.
Speaker 2 Number nine. Watch out, there are vegetables about.
Speaker 1 Supermarkets often put vegetables and fruit near the entrance, so that you fill your trolley with natural,
healthy produce and feel good. The problem is, then you don't feel so bad about filling your trolley with unhealthy and expensive items.
Speaker 2 Number eight. If you can't find it, just ask!
Speaker 1 You'll notice that essential items like bread or milk are placed all over the store, so you'll spend more
time looking for them. So if you can't find something, ask for help.
Speaker 2 Number seven. Take a shopping list and stick to it!
Speaker 1 Supermarkets often change shelves around, so that you're tempted to buy new products while you're
looking for the things on your list. It's easier to resist temptation if you only put in your trolley what you planned to buy.
Speaker 2 Number six. Beware of the checkout!
Speaker 1 Supermarkets often place sweets and magazines at the checkout, because customers who are bored with
waiting often add them to their basket or trolley.
Speaker 2 Number five. Smells good? Don't believe it!
Speaker 1 Many supermarkets pump the smell of freshly baked bread into the store through the air conditioning to
make you feel hungry. If you eat before you go, you'll be less tempted to add cakes and snacks to your trolley. Speaker 2 Number four. How free is FREE?
Speaker 1 "Buy one get one free" is a common way to make people think they're getting a bargain. But this kind
of offer may not be as good as it sounds. Sometimes it's a way of getting rid of old stock.
Speaker 2 Number three. Look up, look down.
Speaker 1 Eye level is buy level, so don't choose the first product you see, because it's usually the most expensive.
Look for similar products higher up or lower down the shelves.
Speaker 2 Number two. Beware of loss leaders.
Speaker 1 Large supermarkets often reduce the price of key items, such as a popular brand of cereals or the latest
films on DVD. They're designed to bring people into the shop, because they believe everything will be cheaper.
Speaker 2 And our number one top tip for supermarket shoppers. Stay at home and shop online.
Speaker 1 Many large supermarkets allow you to shop from the comfort of your own home, and will even deliver
it to your door. If you shop online, you'll avoid all those expensive supermarket tricks. And even if there's a delivery charge, it will cost less than going to the supermarket and doing your shopping yourself.

English pub.

Voice-over Welcome to Changing Lifestyles. Today we'll take a look at the changing role of fathers. In the 1950s
and the 1960s, most fathers went to work every day and most mothers stayed at home to take care of the children. However, since the late 60s and the early 70s, family life has been changing dramatically. Instead of accepting the rigid roles imposed by society, many couples have been deciding to change their work-life balance. More mothers have been pursuing careers, while at the same time fathers have been devoting more time to caring for children and doing household chores. This is David Noll. David is 33 years old, husband and father of two girls. David is a modern father. He and his wife both pursue careers and share in raising the children and doing housework.
Diane OK, well then are you going to go to the playground?
Children 1 Right. Right, Mama.

Julie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College.
Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at
Somerville College.
Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university
in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.
Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are
very conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some specific traditions.
Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes
places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we eat by candlelight.
Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May
Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May
Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice.
Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer
Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river.
Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And
also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E. gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations.
Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have
traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear.
Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. And they wear different
colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.
Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to
write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.
Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher
here at Oxford University.

Passage 1
Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right? Professor That's right, yes.
Interviewer Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?
Professor In total there are eight institutions: There's Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth,
Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania.
Interviewer Ah, OK. And what's the sporting ... I believe there's some link with sports.
Professor There certainly is, yes. Originally the Ivy League referred to the sports teams from the universities
which competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. Now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. But in the last 50 years, Ivy League schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasn't possible to be both world-famous for research and also top class in sport.
Interviewer And what about their academic importance? I gather they're academically very, very important,
they're very well-known.
Professor Absolutely at the top. They're near or at the top of the USA colleges and university rankings. And
they're almost always in the top one per cent of the world's academic institutions for financial resources. Interviewer And what does it mean socially to go to an Ivy League university?
Professor Certainly if you've been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end of
the scale. The Ivy League institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white Anglo-Saxon, protestants. Not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.
Interviewer And do you know ... why's it called the Ivy League, what's the origin of the name?
Professor There are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly it's based on four universities, and IV, the letters
IV, that's the Roman numeral for four. Another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. The term was created by a sports journalist, I think in the 1930s.
Interviewer Right, OK. And which is the oldest university?
Professor The oldest goes back to the 17th century, that's Harvard which was founded in 1636. And the youngest
of the institutions is Cornell which was founded in 1865.
Interviewer And which has the largest number of undergraduates?
Professor Cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. The institution with the smallest
number is Dartmouth College with a little over 4,000.
Interviewer And what about the acceptance rate? Is it hard to get into?
Professor That ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.
Interviewer And any famous alumni? Famous old boys?
Professor Hundreds! Hundreds of them. But I suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all over
the world would certainly be George Bush who went to Yale, and John F Kennedy, President Kennedy, who was at Harvard.
Interviewer Thank you.
Passage2
Andy Did you see the film on television last night?
Jane No, I was out. What was it?
Andy A Beautiful Mind. It's about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.
Jane I've heard about that film, yes. He's played by Russell Crowe, isn't he? I like Russell Crowe, he's great. Andy That's the one, yes.
Jane What's it about?
Andy Well, the story begins in the early years of Nash's life at Princeton University as a graduate student. Jane That's one of the Ivy League schools, isn't it?
Andy Yes, it's all set in New England, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. It's lovely to look at.
Anyway, Nash meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. Nash admits to Charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing he's looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.
Jane So he's not interested in having fun?
Andy Well, yes, but he's not very good with people or successful with women, that's all. But, you know, it's one of
these bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.
Jane No good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?
Andy That's about right, yes. So when he finishes his studies at Princeton, he accepts a job at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. Five years later, he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.
Jane Ah! At last, the love interest!
Andy Yes, but wait a moment. Nash believes that he's been asked to work by William Parcher for the US
Department of Defense on breaking Soviet codes. At one point he's chased by the Russians, and it's after this that he becomes mentally ill.
Jane I think I've seen this in the trailer to the film.
Andy So when he's put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the Soviets have captured him. He's given this painful
treatment which affects his relationship with his wife. And his intellectual skills. So he stops taking the medicine.
Jane It sounds quite hard to watch.
Andy Well, it is, but it's well acted and directed, and so, you know, there's a-bit of distance between the audience
and what's happening on film.
Jane So what happens next?
Andy Well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. It all gets a bit complicated,
because we're no longer sure if Charles, you know, his old friend, or even Parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in Nash's mind.
Jane That sounds awful. He must have been so ill,
Andy Actually, I'm kind of giving away the twist in the story. Anyway, later in his life, while he's using the library
at Princeton again, he asks his rival Martin Hansen if he can start teaching again. And so the story ends when he goes on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Jane Well, it sounds like a great film.
Andy Yes, you should see it sometime.
Unit 3 Learning to think
Inside view
Conversation 1
Mark Hi, what're you doing?
Janet Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper.
Mark Let's have a look then.
Janet Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it. Do you want to have a go? Mark OK, might as well. I'm not busy.
Janet Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false". Ready?
Mark Yea.
Janet OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?
Mark True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.
Janet You're right, exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent of people have a visual
memory.
Mark That sounds about right. True?
Janet No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory.
Mark Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.
Janet Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to remember things.
Mark That's true, obviously. I can't remember a thing when I'm tired.
Janet Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve.
Mark I'm not sure ... True?
Janet Actually, it's false.
Mark Oh!
Janet Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.
Mark I read something in The Times about that. True.
Janet True, it says here.
Mark Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going!
Janet Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!
Conversation 2
Kate You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up?
Janet Well... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.
Kate You're telling me! There's so much work!
Janet It's not the amount of work - but everything's so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we
don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult.
Kate You have to memorize a lot, don't you?
Janet Yes, but I'm good at that.
Kate You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do. Janet Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in critical thinking. Kate What do you mean by critical thinking?
Janet Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it.
Kate Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.
Janet I am getting better at it, I suppose.
Kate Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your task is to examine it and then
ask questions.
Janet OK.
Kate Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question!
Janet Why do you say that?
Kate That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.
Janet Can you give an example of some research?
Kate Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.
Outside view
Part 1
Teacher Good morning, class.
Students Good morning.
Teacher What we're going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind mapping. Now have any of you
heard about mind maps before?
Students Yes ... No ...
Teacher Yes. Some of you have, some of you haven't. OK. Have any of you actually used mind maps in the past? Students No ...
Teacher No? OK. Who can tell me what a mind map is?
Student 1 It's a way of thinking.
Teacher It is a way of thinking. Mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize or
structure our ideas related to a topic. What I'd like to do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind maps. What are some of the reasons for using mind maps?
Student 2 To make a list?
Teacher To make a list? Yes. We could say to brainstorm ideas. Everyone contributes then-ideas as many ideas as
quickly as possible, from everyone in a shorter time, er, as, as we can manage. OK, brainstorming is one of the most important um, um, uses of mind maps. What might be another use or another reason for using mind maps?
Student 3 It can help me take notes in the class.
Teacher OK, for the note-taking, a very good reason. Mind maps help us to get an overview or a, a quick
understanding about a subject. By using mind maps to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, a very general understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily and um, quickly. What are some other uses of mind maps?
Student 4 Preparing for exams?
Teacher OK. Preparing for exams. That's a, a very good reason. We might call this, er, revision. Before an exam,
after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general understanding about the subject. Are there any other uses that you can think of for mind mapping?
Student 5 We can also use it for finding answers.
Teacher For finding answers. That's, that's a very good, good answer. We could call this problem-solving. We can
use mind maps to, to see other possible alternatives, or options to, to, to solve a problem. OK. Next, I'd like us to talk about some of the advantages or the benefits of using mind maps instead of just writing everything on a piece of paper. One of the most obvious advantages, as you can see, is that mind maps are very visual. They give us um, almost a picture, a, a different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful for people who like to learn from a different way. Are there any other advantages that you can think of for mind mapping?
Student 4 It lists the main points.
Teacher They do. They do list the main points. We could call this um, a quick summary. As you can see, we have
main ideas throughout our mind map, not long texts. And in this way, it helps us to grasp the, the key ideas and the key connections for mind maps or for our given subject. Are there any other advantages you can think of? Student 1 To think creatively.
Teacher To think creatively. That's, that's a very good point. We could call this creative thinking. And what we
mean here is basically thinking outside of the box or thinking laterally. Mind maps are illogical and by being illogical they encourage us to think creatively, you might say.
Part2
Teacher Next, I'd like us to think about aspects of design or constructing mind maps. So far we have completed
three quarters of our mind map about mind maps. And then I'd just like you to have a look at this mind map and tell me what some of the most noticeable or striking features are that we can talk about.
Student 2 There is a centre.
Teacher There is a centre. There is what we call a central word, a central word or a phrase. It might also be a
sentence or a question. You might have that in the centre of the board and your related thoughts spiraling or radiating out. What else do you notice about the design of this mind map?
Student 1 There are only words, not sentences.
Teacher Exactly. There are many what we call key words as they capture the main thought of, of an issue rather
than a long sentence or, or a passage. This helps us to concentrate on the main issues and find connections between these issues as well. What other aspects of design do you notice here?
Student 5 It looks like a tree.
Teacher It does look like a tree because it has branches. By having branches, it shows how, um, thinking is
radiating out or spiraling out from key ideas or central ideas to key words to sub-words and, and so forth. Are there any other aspects of design which you notice in this particular map?
Student 2 You used a lot of colours.
Teacher I did. I perhaps use too many colours. I have used different colour to show the different key words or
different aspects of mind mapping. You might like to use different colours to highlight different sections of a mind map or key information. Or you may, you may choose to have it all in one colour. It's very much a personal choice, depending on how you like to, to think and, and plan your thinking. You might also like to use images or pictures related to some of the key words. Or you might even use symbols. We'll put a question mark because this again is a personal choice and how you like to design your mind maps. For example, I might choose to use a thought bubble as a symbol, highlighting or identifying my central phrase, mind maps. This could be a, a feature of my own mind maps. Whenever I design a mind map, I highlight my central thought using a speech bubble symbol.

Passage 1
Interviewer With us today is Martin Downes, a carpenter, who's 51. A year ago, Martin had a stroke. But he's
been lucky enough to make a full recovery from it. Can you tell us how it all began, Martin?
Martin I'm very happy to - not that I remember much at all. I was at a customer's house, building a cupboard, and
the next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital with people in white coats bending over me.
Interviewer It must have been very frightening.
Martin It was. But what was really frightening was that I couldn't speak. I couldn't say a word. And I couldn't
understand much that people said to me.
Interviewer How awful!
Martin Yeah! I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't had my family. But they were there for me,
they really were. I had something called aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and language. But they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. This speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. They made me do all these exercises.
Interviewer What kind of exercises?
Martin I had to match words and pictures and say their names. You see, I'd also forgotten the names of a lot of
things. She had this thing called a word board and I could point to words and phrases on it that I wanted to say. I had to repeat words up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.
Interviewer Could you say anything to begin with?
Martin I could say three words. "Hi", "Yes" and "No". That was all. And there were a lot of words I couldn't
understand -1 had to learn their meanings all over again.
