 RECORDING SCRIPTS

Part 1
Man: I see they’re building another gated community near the town centre.
Woman: Oh. I really hate those places!
Man: They’re not that bad, surely?
Woman: That’s what you think. For a start, I can’t stand the people who live in
them – rich young idiots showing off how much money they’ve got.
Man: Come on, be fair – not everyone in a gated community is young, or an idiot.
And anyway, it’s their business how they spend their money, isn’t it?
Woman: No, because those places are bad for society.
Man: Really?
Woman: Yes, really. Those gates say ‘Rich people only – peasants keep out’. It’s
insulting, and it makes ordinary people hate the rich.
Man: Hang on – are you sure that all this hatred isn’t just jealousy? Wouldn’t you
live there if you could afford it?
Woman: Me?! Do me a favour!

Part 2
Interviewer: Today, I have with me Mike O’Toole, a leading teacher trainer, and
he’s going to be talking to us about the challenges – and the rewards – that a
graduate considering teaching as a career path can expect, Good morning, Mike,
Mike: Good morning, Judy. And let me say that you chose two extremely
appropriate words: challenges and rewards I don’t think there’s been a more
challenging time to be a teacher, And the truth of the matter is that many are
saying, ‘This is no longer worth the energy I have to out into it, and are leaving
the in droves. But the ones that persevere, will, I believe, find that teaching In the
twenty-first century will have both the prestige and the results of the golden days
of education.
Interviewer: Teaching is often described as being at a crossroads, though, isn’t it?
What makes today a real moment of decision?
Mike: I think the fact that it’s a crunch moment for everyone; potential teachers,
teacher trainers, schools and the government. If everyone seizes the opportunities
offered, we could see a system transformed from the slow decline we saw over
the past decades, If not. the UK will no longer be seen around the world as an
education destination. But rather as a Quaint anachronism. A piece of living
history, interesting only to academics,

Interviewer: What makes it crunch time? Why are we at this ominous-sounding
place?
Mike: One word: technology. Technology is the key. We have a world that has
changed beyond recognition due to technology – and one that is continuing to
change – and our educational system risks being left behind. Everyone should be
able to use a computer, but almost no school has IT as a compulsory subject,
Computers and the internet should play a part in every lesson, but they don’t.
And one of the main reasons is the inability of the teacher to use technology, to
integrate it into the lesson.
Interviewer: In teacher training colleges, how much emphasis is placed on
classroom technology and e-learning?
Mike: You’ve come right to the point, Judy, The answer is, not enough! And not
only that: if I become a teacher today, completely up to date with the latest in
educational software, hardware, electronic resources and so on, in ten years’ time
I’ll need retraining so that what I’ve learned won’t become obsolete in twenty.
Teachers today are being asked to do more and more without the support they
need. We have a very high rate of teachers quitting the profession in this country,
and we’ve got to ask why.
Interviewer: So teachers need to go back to school themselves. How do they feel
about that?
Mike: There’s resistance sometimes. Teachers can be very traditional. But it’s
with the new wave of teachers that we can affect the greatest change. If the
interactive whiteboard, for example, is seen for what it is – an extraordinary tool
in a teacher’s toolbox – then it can be utilised. We can train the teacher where to
use it, where not to use it, what new software is available and so on. If there’s
mistrust, suspicion, ignorance, then the technology will not be used to its full
potential. Quite the contrary.
Interviewer: And what are the implications for teachers, schools, education
systems, even, that don’t exploit this technology?
Mike: You used the analogy of a crossroads earlier, but I would say, rather, that
we are at a fork in the road. We’re in a deep forest at the side of a mountain, and
what we don’t realise is that one gath leads down into a dead-end ravine and the
other leads up to the too of the mountain and the sunshine of knowledge. And,
interestingly enough, what technology is allowing schools in developing
countries to do, is to leapfrog right ahead of the developed countries so that, in
comparison, we are starting to look primitive.
Part 3
Matt: Hi, I’m Matt, and I’m head chef and owner of Giovanni’s. As a young
chef fresh out of catering school, I had dreams of owning my own place. I was
never under the illusion that this would be easy to accomplish, and probably the
most important asset – even more so than financial means – that you need to start

5
a restaurant, is determination. If you keep your nose to the grindstone, anything’s
possible, including finding the money for it, even if that means saving up. Many
restaurant entrepreneurs think mainly about the more superficial matters when
they start out – the restaurant’s name, the great location, the interior design, the
menu and so forth. Of course, these matters are not unimportant – in fact, they’re
crucial to success – but the one thing you can never let slip from your mind is
this: if your restaurant, or any business for that matter, isn’t going to make a
profit, well, your operation will be short-lived. That means you’ll have to make
plenty of tough decisions about every part of your operation, be it large or small.
For example, let’s say you’ve got a location in mind on a street with a large
number of pedestrians, which is good for getting lots of passing trade. You’re
against choosing a smaller location tucked away in a quaint corner, which would
be less expensive, but also less visible. So you set your sights on acquiring the
space on the busy street, but naturally, that space is going to cost you. You then
realize that in order to seal the deal, you’ve got to cut back on interior furnishings
just to afford to get started. Depending on your concept for the restaurant, that
may hurt you in the long run.
I was faced with this dilemma, and in the end I chose the . smaller, off-the-
beaten-track location. The space needed some renovations, so I had to spend a bit
of money on that, but otherwise it was quite a cost-effective decision. That
allowed me to spend more of my start-up capital on making the place special, as
well as on some well-targeted advertising, which helped me to get noticed.
Really, these preliminary steps – acquiring the capital, securing the location
-these things might be the easiest part of the process, although still very difficult.
However, only after you have a functioning establishment do you encounter the
real challenges. This is where you will have to play many operational roles, such
as the wise business manager, the resourceful accountant and the savvy public
relations agent and you’ll have to hone your multi-tasking skills in order to
achieve this successfully.
I’ve definitely had my fair share of problems and made any number of
mistakes. I played around with a few ideas to attract more customers. I tried a bit
of fancy redecorating, but that didn’t go over well – to be honest, the result was a
bit of a mess – so I hired a consultant. I put out an expanded menu to try and
please more people, only to receive criticism that there were too many choices. I
even reduced the prices a bit, although I just ended up losing more money. A
friend of mine suggested I put on a grand opening, and I decided to give it a try,
but the funny thing was, I’d been open for nearly six months already. In fact, it
was actually a huge success and things really took off after that. As your
restaurant grows, you need to think of ways to put your revenues into improving
operations. For instance, my waiters were using the old-fashioned handwritten
system to write down customers’ orders. This meant they had to walk all the way
to the kitchen to hand in an oraer to the chef. I decided to streamline this by
installing a computerized for placing food orders. Now, the food arrives at the

table even faster than before. These are the kinds of business expenses you want
ones that end up making you money, and today we’ll be discussing what specific
things you can do to attain a variety of goals.
