Part 1
1.
Narrator Listen to a school principal talking to a group o f students.
Woman Senior School Orchestra will meet on the first day back, Tuesday, 7 January, so don’t
forget to bring your instruments. We will take the bus as usual at 1:30 to the Senior
School and rehearse until 3:00. You will also need your “Essential Elements” method
books. The bus fee from the Tuesday we missed last month will be applied towards
January’s bus fees if you had already paid it.
Narrator What does the principal want the students to do?
2.
Narrator Listen to an English teacher speaking to her students.
Woman You probably know what it means to write in the first person, but you may not be as
confident about using the second- or third-person point o f view. Today we’re going
to focus on each of these three points o f view. In grammatical terms, first person,
second person, and third person refer to personal pronouns. Each “person” has a
different perspective, a “point of view”, and the three points of view have singular
and plural forms as well as three case forms.
Narrator What is the purpose of the talk?
3.
Narrator Listen to an art teacher speaking to a class.
Woman The “Dutch Process” for making paint, adopted by the Dutch Boy Co., originated
with two chemists in 16th-century Holland. The Dutch Boy icon was created to
symbolize its superior method for creating paint. However, Michael E. Brady, the 9-
year-old boy who became the inspiration for this famous trademark, wasn’t Dutch at
all. He was an Irish American who lived near the artist commissioned to create the
logo.

Narrator Listen to a culture teacher speaking to his class.
Man First, select a gallery, then pick a photo or document for both inspiration and to
illustrate students analyze and interpret historical, primary-source content, then
synthesize the information, making personal connections with history as they retell it
from their own perspective. The activity provides an opportunity for students to
creatively share their historical understanding with an authentic audience. Plato said,
“Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.”

Narrator Listen to a science-and-lab teacher speaking to a class.
Woman Class, first you will work together in small groups of 4-5 to discuss the question:
“What materials could you find mixed with soil in the environment and at a crime
scene?” You may set up a crime scene - Someone broke into the school building last
night and raided the student lockers. The only evidence found was a shoe print and
some dirt in the hallway. The building principal wants answers, and I told him that
you have proven to be effective crime scene investigators and would be willing to
assist. Then, you need to collect evidence.

Part 2.
MAN: Good morning. Tauber Insurance Company. How can I help you?
WOMAN: Good morning. I want to alter my insurance policy.
MAN: Is that for your house, contents, or vehicle?
WOMAN: My vehicle.
MAN: Good morning. Tauber Insurance Company. How can I help you?
WOMAN: Good morning. I want to alter my insurance policy.
MAN: Is that for your house, contents, or vehicle?
WOMAN: My vehicle.
MAN: Can you give me the number of the policy please?
WOMAN: Certainly, I have it here in front of me. It’s ZQW5009.
MAN: And what make and model of car is it?
WOMAN: It’s a Masda...a Masda Marvel.
MAN: And what’s the cc rating?
WOMAN: Sorry? What do you mean?
MAN: How big is the engine? Is it 1500 or 1800 cc, for example?
WOMAN: Oh that...it’s actually much bigger than that: it’s 2500 cc.
MAN: Thank you. Now I just have to ask you a few questions to verify your identity. What name
is the policy under?
WOMAN: Heathcote.
MAN: Let me just bring that up on the computer. Yes, can I just confirm your first name, please?
WOMAN: Well, my first name is Lisa but I’m known by my middle name—Marie.
MAN: Right. I see both here but Lisa is the one I want for ID purposes. And your date of birth,
Lisa?...I mean, Marie.
WOMAN: The twenty-second of August, 1955.
MAN: Correct. Just one more question before we get started—can you remember the password on
this policy?
WOMAN: Oh, dear. I didn’t know I had a password on it.
MAN: Everyone has a password. Would you like to take a guess?
WOMAN: Possibly it’s my mother’s name...
MAN: And what would that be?
WOMAN: Sophia.
MAN: Sorry, guess again.
WOMAN: Alright...Oh, I remember now, it’s my grandfather’s name, Jack.
MAN: Yes, followed by some numbers...
WOMAN: 1897—right?
MAN: Correct. Now we can get down to business. What exactly do you want to change?
WOMAN: Well, a couple of things. Firstly, I think it’s overvalued at the moment. Can we reduce
the value by $5,000.
MAN: You mean, bring it down to $15,000?
WOMAN: Yes, I’m sure it’s lost quite a bit of value over the past year.
MAN: Done. Now, what’s the other thing?
WOMAN: Well, I want to add the name of another driver to my insurance policy.
MAN: Who is it?
WOMAN: His name is Samuel Michaels.
MAN: He doesn’t have the same family name as you?
WOMAN: No, he doesn’t Is that a problem?
MAN: No, it shouldn’t be, as long as he’s over the age of 25, but we find it easier to get approval
for family members.
WOMAN: Oh, he is family...he’s married to my daughter. He’s my son-in-law. And he’s 28 in
fact.
MAN: Good — and what would he be using the car for? Would it be business or social purposes?
WOMAN: Not really...you see, I’ve injured my right arm and I’m having difficulty driving(it’s not
an automatic— I have to use the gear stick) and Sam, that is Samuel, offered to drive me to my
appointments and so on. He’s a good driver and I feel safe with him but I’d like to know that the
car is still insured with him behind the wheel.
MAN: So that would be...family reasons, then?
WOMAN: Yes, I think so. Will my premium go up?
MAN: No—as long as you can provide us with a photocopy of his driver’s licence—a true copy—
you know what I mean—you’ll have to get someone from the Department of Transport to sign it
saying that he’s seen the original document.
WOMAN: I think we can manage that without any difficulty.
MAN: Oh, and while he’s at the department, he should ask them for a record of any driving
offences, demerit points, that kind of thing, only for the last five years though. We’re not interested
in anything beyond that but it’s important that he has a clean record for the five previous years.
WOMAN: Oh, I’m sure that won’t be a problem. Is there anything else you need?
MAN: Just the date for when you’d like this to take effect.
WOMAN:Today, if that’s possible.
MAN: Yes, we can issue temporary cover from today’s date but full cover won’t apply until we’ve
received the paperwork and it’s been approved.
WOMAN: What exactly is temporary?
MAN: He’ll be covered for two full weeks but it will lapse after that time if there’s any problem
with his credentials.
