1a: Both actually, I am studying really
hard
for my exams this month, I am a high
school
student, but I also help my parents
out. They
own a restaurant and I work there as
a waiter
in the evening, so I don’t get a lot
of free time
during the week.
Well, I used
to play them all the time but now
I am too
busy studying and I don’t miss them
at all.
I use the internet just about every day for my
studies, and I also use it to keep in touch
with
my friends and family. My cousin is
living in
Singapore at the moment and he sends
me
regular e-mails to let me know how much fun
he is having! He is always visiting exciting
places.
The internet is making it much
easier for
people to say in touch with each
other.
I’d love to be able to afford to go
every week
because I support my local team,
but students
don’t generally have much money,
you know.
1b: ok well, we have three swimming
pools:
an Olympic size 50 meter pool and a 25
meter
pool, which are both outdoor, and a
heated
indoor pool, which is just 15 meters
long but
is very popular with our members in
the
winter.
Most people start at the lower
level, and then
you can talk to the instructor
about changing if
you think it is too easy.
2: For example, a few weeks ago a woman
called to report a robbery at her house. It
happened at five in the afternoon while she
was watching the news on TV in a room at the
back of the house. Her son was also at home;
he was doing his homework in his bedroom
when the burglar came into the house.
Well, this woman used to keep the front door
locked at all times, but when her son got
older
he often went out to visit his friends
after
school, so she would leave the door
unlocked
whenever she was at home so he could
come
and go easily. The burglar simply walked
in
through the front door, which was unlocked,
and on one heard a thing.
On this
occasion, the burglar came in through
the
front door, picked up the woman’s
handbag and
while she was watching the TV,
he emptied it
out and stole her purse. The son
didn’t hear
anything because he was listening
to music and
working on his computer upstairs.
Then the
burglar went into the front room,
opened all
the cupboards and took a valuable
collection
of CDs. But the surprising thing is
that after
that he went into the kitchen and
stole the
roast chicken the woman had cooked
for dinner.
3: well, I have worked really hard for the
last
two weeks and I have nearly finished all
the
books on the reading list. I have made
quite a
lot of notes but they are not very
structured.
I find the best approach is to
read only the
sections that you need in order
to answer the
question. You don’t usually have
to read the
whole book. I have collected
plenty of
information for the assignment that
way.
That’s good advice. I have been trying to
read
the whole of each book, and the more I
read,
the more confused I get.
When I was
in the library last week, I read
those
leaflets called “how to get the best out of
the library” and “how to write assignments”.
They really helped.
My tutors told me it
was far mare important to
get enough rest than
to stay up late studying. I
have gone to bed
early every night since then
and I manage to
concentrate for longer during
the day, so in
the end I do actually get more
done.
4:
Mozart was born on January 27, 1756, the
last
of seven children. However, when Mozart
was
born, five of his siblings had already died
in
infancy or early childhood. His only
surviving
sibling was his sister , Nannerl, who
was five
years older.
By the time he was six, the
little boy had
written a composition of his
own into the
notebook .And by age seven, he
had taught
himself how to play the
violin without ever
having received a lesson.
By the time he was 17,Mozart’s reputation had
already begun to spread through Europe and
his family were richer than they had ever been
before.
5: It is more luxurious than last
year’s
camping trip, so I think everyone will
be
happy with it.
6: not really, although
I always make sure I
prepare well. I always
practice in front of a
mirror to reduce my
pressure. By the time I
give the talk I will
have rehearsed it at least
ten times.
Practicing like that makes me feel
confident.
7: the room might be on the small side but the
windows are very big so the natural light is
really nice. Few rooms have such good natural
light.
8a: every citizen will have access
to precise
information about changes in the
environment
including global warming, ozone
depletion
and climate change.
8b: more and
more people are joining local
gyms or buying
home-exercise machines.
Well, people in
developed countries are not
only eating more
but are also doing less
exercise. Increased
technology has not helped.
The car and other
such machines designed to
help reduce our work
load are as much to
blame as deep-fried fast
food.
10: my first piece of advice is to work
hard on
your research before you go if you
want to
make your trip enjoyable and
rewarding. I
plan my trips very carefully for
at least three
months before I leave, reading
about the
places I am going to visit on the
internet and
in books.
If you’re
interested in seeing wildlife I
recommend
travelling in the more remote
areas of the
country. I was amazed at the
variety of
wonderful animals which I saw on
my trip and
the most incredible colourful birds
with vivid
blue and green feathers. I also saw
several
poisonous spiders, although I have to
say that
I found the insects rather frightening.
11:
the Olympics is probably the most exciting
event in the sports calendar. It’s one of the
few
opportunities we get to see some of the
best
athletes in the world competing against
each
other.
Not only that, a second study
proved that older
athletes can achieve the
same degree of
physical improvement as those
in their
twenties and thirties. In other
words, they are
just as likely to achieve
their peak fitness as
younger athletes.
13b:well, what these people lacked in
technology they certainly made up for in
practical skills. I carried out some
experiments
using basic techniques to try to
find out what
people without any chemical
knowledge might
have observed. And I was able
to demonstrate
that they would indeed have
been able to
make a soap-like substance that
is not
dissimilar to the one we know today.
14: The bus system is a bit more complicated
because there are normal double decker buses
but there are also smaller buses called
“public
light buses”. It is so cheap and you
get the best
view of the harbour-you really
have to see it to
believe it. You should
always carry plenty of
loose change though for
the buses and the
ferries.
15c: I am going
to talk about renewable
energy sources, and
specifically solar towers. I
am not sure how
much you already know
about solar towers
16: I have always been interested in working
with animals and during my last year at school
I decided to do an animal management course.
Well, we get a lot of practical experience and
there is also a lot of theory, but not so much
that it’s boring. I want to learn to manage
the
animals and the business side of it. The
course
is only three days a week, so I have
already
started working part-time at a pet
shop.
17: it is not just the initial cost of
the car you
have to consider, you know.
If you own a car,
you also have to pay for
insurance and road
tax every year and then
there is the petrol.
18: that is just the
thing. Nearly all of my
wages are going on the
car. If I would waited a
bit before buying the
mobile phone , I’d have
managed to save quite
a bit by now. I might
even have gone on that
college trip last week,
it sounded great.
19a: that’s a common worry but you will be
taught how to deal with those things by the
tutors on the course. In the end, of course,
you
have to take responsibility for what
happens in
your classroom, but you will be
much better
able to cope after training.
21: I am doing a survey about people’
shopping habits for a university assignment.
I always do it on my own. If I go with the
others, they always put too many things in the
trolley and it costs me a fortune.
I
always do the food shopping on Wednesday
and
there are fewer people in the supermarket
on
Thursday than on Friday.
Well, what I like is
being able to see the
products and walking
around the shop, and
maybe buying things that
aren’t on my
shopping list.
22: Well, the
students’ union is a group which
represents
your views to the university.
The union is run
by students, seven students to
be precise, who
are called the executive
committee.
The
executive committee is chosen by the
students
through an election process.
Well, the
students’ union is responsible for
many of the
extra facilities around the campus
that are
not related to study. We run the
restaurants
and entertainment and the sports
facilities,
which are said to be among the best
in the
country. So if you think any of these
facilities need improving around the campus,
or if there are other services you think we
need to provide, then please come to one of
our union meetings and make a suggestion.
23: because it is beneficial to the
development
of the brain, in many cultures
fish is known as
a “brain food”
24: I
think that’s a good point. But,
unfortunately
schools do seem to be more
overcrowded and
less well-funded these days
and I can see the
advantages of home
education in terms of the
quality of education.
