00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,260
unit one recording two and our next caller is
Karen Karen what's your experience of public

2
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:13,650
transport yes hello Gary well I commuted to
London for over ten years I caught the train

3
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:19,260
every morning at 7:15 to get to work for 9 o'clock
and I wouldn't get home until about 7 o'clock in

4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,010
the evening and frankly it was a terrible period
of my life really stressful mainly because of the

5
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:31,770
unreliability of the train service I was forever
arriving late for work one day I was travelling

6
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:36,960
home when the train broke down and I eventually
got back at midnight of course I had to go to

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,170
work the next day so off I went for my 7:15 train
I've been waiting over an hour when they announced

8
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:49,080
that the train was cancelled that really was the
end for me I arranged with my employer to work

9
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,730
at home and I've been working at home happily
for the last five years of course it meant a

10
00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:59,250
big salary cuts but I haven't regretted it for a
moment thanks for that Karen can you just stay on

11
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:05,580
the line I'm hoping we've got Liam on the line
Liam you there yes I'm here Gary great and what

12
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:10,410
point do you want to make well I just wanted to
say that my experience is similar to your last

13
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:16,110
caller although I'm a newcomer to commuting by
public transport I've just sold my car and now

14
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:22,410
I go to work by bus I don't a car ever since I
left college but I wanted to do my bit to cut

15
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:28,620
down on pollution but I have to confess that I'm
regretting it already I've arrived late for work

16
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,350
twice this week because the boss hasn't turned off
on time it's got so bad that I'm now thinking of

17
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:40,200
buying a motorbike it'll cause less pollution in
a car and be more reliable and public transport

18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,710
well it sounds like you're another dissatisfied
customer Liam but we've also got Saha on the line

19
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:52,740
and I think she's more positive sahar are you
there I am Gary good afternoon hello Saha what

20
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:57,990
do you want to tell us well I'd like to put in
a good word for train travel I'm working at home

21
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:03,000
when our office block is being renovated and while
I'm appreciating being able to get up later than

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,160
usual I really miss my daily commute you get
to know the people you travel with every day
23
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,910
I remember one day I dropped my purse while I was
getting off the train another person you picked it

24
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:19,340
found my dress in it and brought it round to
my house later that evening another time I'd

25
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,530
been working really hard and went to sleep and
miss my station one of the other passengers was

26
00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:29,690
getting off at the next station and she had her
car parked there she woke me up and offered me

27
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,150
a lift back to my home I'd spoken to her only a
couple of times before then but now she's a really

28
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:40,790
good friend you meet a lot of nice people and
become a part of the traveling community Thanks

29
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:45,980
aha that's a sight of commuting we don't often
hear about now somebody else who sees the good

30
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:51,620
side of train journeys Luka are you there Luka
yes indeed actually I'm phoning from the train

31
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:57,710
on my way home from work and are you having a good
journey yes it's been fine but then I love trains

32
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,290
I've enjoyed travelling by train ever since I was
young I admit that it can be frustrating at times

33
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:09,290
there are delays and cancellations and there
are minor irritations like poor mobile phone

34
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:14,240
reception I've been trying to phone in to your
program for the last half hour in fact but I
35
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,370
catch the 705 at the station near my home every
morning and still find there's something quite

36
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:24,890
magical about stepping onto the train and there
are clear advantages over driving apartment lack

37
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:29,930
of stress I reckon that over the years I've
saved a huge amount of money by using public

38
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:36,560
transport I've never really considered buying a
car you can also get a lot of work done on the

39
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,090
train yesterday morning for example I'd read a
couple of reports and prepared for an important

40
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:46,970
meeting before I even got to work literally I'm
quite lucky the train company I travel with have

41
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:51,770
invested a lot of money recently they've bought
new trains and have really improved the service

42
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:57,770
Garry Karen were you wanting to say something
yes I just wanted to pick up Lucas point that

43
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:03,380
traveling by train is less stressful than driving
public transport can be stressful too when trains

44
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:08,960
don't turn up or are delayed what's less
stressful is working at home at 8 o'clock

45
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,010
I'm usually having a leisurely breakfast where
most people are in their cars or on the train

46
00:04:13,010 --> 00:04:20,149
yesterday I'd finished all my work by 2:30 so I
drove the local pool for a swim and today I've

47
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:24,890
been working hard all day so now I've got time
to relax by listening to the radio for a while

48
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:30,560
much better than stress of commuting you're very
lucky Karen we've got another caller on the line

49
00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:40,030
unit 2 recording 3 you must be really looking
forward to going to America when are you actually

50
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:45,610
leaving I'm flying on the 15th of July I'm
spending a few days sightseeing in New York

51
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:53,050
and then I arrive in Los Angeles on the 20th let's
just start on the 27th of July sounds great and

52
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:58,330
what about accommodation well first I'm going to
stay with Daniel and Susannah some friends of my

53
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:02,980
parents you're not staying with them the whole
time you're there are you know I'll be looking

54
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:08,650
for my own place but I'm really pleased they'll be
around it'll be good to know I can contact them in

55
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:15,010
case I have any problems they're meeting me at the
airport to mind you I haven't seen them for years

56
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:21,400
they'll have forgotten what I look like and what
about the course it looks really interesting they

57
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,740
sent me a reading list but of course I haven't
got around to opening any of the books yet so

58
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:32,650
it's going to take a long time to catch up I'll
be studying really hard during the semesters so

59
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:38,290
that I don't have to do much work in the vacations
and when does the first semester end the 7th of

60
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:43,870
December then I'm going to San Francisco for a
week I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate

61
00:05:43,870 --> 00:05:48,940
Bridge I'm going to fly up there if it's not too
expensive do you know when you'll be back in Los

62
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:55,420
Angeles probably mid December so you can come
anytime after that I'm so looking forward to

63
00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,790
it I've always wanted to go to the States I was
going to see my aunt in Seattle a couple of years

64
00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:06,910
ago but I cancelled the trip because she got ill
will you stop over anywhere on the way out maybe

65
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:13,420
New York or Chicago I have really thought about it
but I've only got three weeks so I think I'll fly

66
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:19,360
directly to Los Angeles fine and I'll meet you
at the airport of course by the time you come

67
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,760
I'm sure I'll have got to know Ellie really well
so I'll be able to show you all the sights yes I

68
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,130
suppose you will when I come to see you you'll
have been living in California for nearly six

69
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:36,880
months hard to imagine isn't it after Los Angeles
I thought we could go down to a place called

70
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,700
Huntington Beach if you bring your tent we'll
camp there for a few days the weather will still

71
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:49,690
be quite warm even in the winter isn't it your
birthday around there that's right I'll be 21 on

72
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:55,780
the 2nd of January well that'll be a really good
way to celebrate the best I'll need to get back to

73
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:01,270
Los Angeles for when the second semester starts
but you'll be staying longer won't you that's

74
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:07,150
right I don't have to be back in England until
later well why don't you go to the Grand Canyon

75
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:13,720
it's supposed to be spectacular yeah I might
think
about that anyway as soon as I booked my

76
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,410
tickets I'll let you know it will key we can sort
out the details closer to the time fine look it's

77
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:26,980
nearly 2 o'clock if I don't go now I'm going to be
late for my next lecture I'll text you yeah see ya

78
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:38,160
unit three recording four and now on radio nation
it's 8:30 and here's a summary of the latest news

79
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,850
air passengers could be hit badly today as cabin
crews stay at home in the latest in a series of

80
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:50,640
one-day strikes the major airlines are warning
that up to 100,000 people may experience delays

81
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,360
the managing director of travel air David Wade
had this warning to the union's I'm sure I don't
82
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,650
need to spell out the chaos being caused in the
airline industry as a result of these strikes and

83
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:07,380
I would like to apologize to all our customers
however the cabin staff must accept the new

84
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:12,270
working conditions if the airline is to compete
and the management has no choice but to stand

85
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:18,810
firm on this issue but he didn't have to wait long
for a response a union spokesperson said I can't

86
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:24,060
believe mr. Wade is being so confrontational we
will not be bullied by management eventually the

87
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:30,180
airlines will have to return to the negotiating
table up to 200 teachers and pupils had to be

88
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:35,490
evacuated from Northfield primary school in South
Wales today after a fire broke out in an adjacent

89
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:40,260
building although firefighters were able to
bring the fire under control fairly quickly

90
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:44,880
they couldn't prevent the fire damaging the
school's Sports Center the head teacher said

91
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,900
it might be a number of months before the sports
center is back in operation although the school

92
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:55,020
itself should be able to reopen early next week
the new borland bridge connecting the island to

93
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:00,630
the mainland was officially opened today by the
Transport Minister however it's been an operation

94
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:05,910
for a few weeks already and has received a mixed
reception from Islanders from Borland here's our

95
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:12,810
reporter Anna Curtis yes the new bridge has
stirred up a lot of strong emotion on Borland

96
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:19,590
and I'm here to gather the views of some of the
islands residents excuse me what do you think of

97
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:25,950
the new bridge I think it will be of great benefit
to the island we used to be terribly isolated here

98
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:30,870
because the ferry service was so bad it's only
a short distance but the crossing would take

99
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:36,840
over an hour at least it could be a very rough
journey too many passengers would get seasick

100
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,840
during the crossing excuse me I'm asking people
about the effects of the new bridge they reckon

101
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,840
that tourism on the island is set to expand that's
such a good thing there are already far too many

102
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760
cars and people will also get wealthy people
from the mainland who can afford second homes

103
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,620
that will push up house prices it and Islanders
won't be able to buy properties that can't be

104
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,570
right surely there are to be restrictions on the
number of people moving here it's certainly true

105
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:08,820
that the bridge is going to have a major impact
on the way of life of the people here over the

106
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:16,350
next few years but whether that will be a positive
or a negative effect only time will tell following

107
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:21,000
her report on the high levels of obesity among
children the government's chief health advisor

108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,430
professor Carmen Brady has said that schools have
to play a more active role in encouraging children

109
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:32,190
to take up sports she has also criticized
parents parents needn't be very interested

110
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:37,590
in sport themselves but they should give their
children whatever encouragement they can while

111
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:43,140
we were gathering information for our report we
found that some parents will actually discourage

112
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:48,360
their children from taking up a sport on the basis
that they might get distracted from their academic

113
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,470
studies this negative attitude sport mustn't
be allowed to continue not if we are to get on

114
00:10:55,470 --> 00:11:00,720
top of the obesity crisis facing the country
and finally the weather well if you're in the

115
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,220
south of the country you shouldn't be troubled
by any rain today it will be warm sunny and

116
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:10,650
dry with temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius
however in the north you are likely to see an

117
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:15,990
occasional shower with maximum temperatures
of around 15 degrees Radio nation news

118
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:28,060
unit three recording five exam practice listening
part one you will hear three different extracts

119
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:36,640
for questions one two six choose the answer a B or
C which fits best according to what you hear there

120
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,320
are two questions for each extract extract one
you hear two people on a radio program discussing

121
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,380
music education for children research shows
that the optimum time to start music education

122
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:55,720
is between the ages of three and four as well
as improving manual dexterity and concentration

123
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,060
it seems that it may help emotional development
to and starting young on understanding musical

124
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,130
notation laced down an excellent foundation for
later on the piano is the instrument that many

125
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:10,300
parents want their children to start learning
and I think three years old is the right time to

126
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:16,120
start starting early is vital but less demanding
instruments would be my choice things like the

127
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,120
recorder or a half-size guitar personally I don't
think the piano is the best instrument to start

128
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,340
with so early children have to show the mental
physical and emotional readiness to learn an
129
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:33,910
instrument like the piano which obviously takes a
lot of effort and commitment in my experience very

130
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:39,220
few children under six are able to take on that
kind of challenge well I think children of that

131
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:43,660
age can learn to play simple tunes on the piano
and they soon progress to more complicated pieces

132
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:48,790
if they could read music but a rather academic
approach will turn children off for life if

133
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:55,300
they're not ready for it enjoyment has got to be
the priority well enjoyment is certainly important

134
00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:05,420
research shows that the optimum time to start
music education is between the ages of three

147
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,590
extract two out of an interview with a rock
climber called Ben so Ben you're well-known

148
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:25,990
in the climbing world as a bit of a loner you
prefer climbing without other people is that

149
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:32,140
true well to some extent I've always talked
to other climbers about the technical side

150
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:37,270
of things training
equipment and things like
that but at the end of the day you've got to

151
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,340
learn independently through trial and error
if you're climbing in a group you'll always

152
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:47,650
compare yourself to others and that doesn't
always help you to improve it's good to admire

153
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:53,590
other climbers but different things work best
for different people so you never climb with

154
00:14:53,590 --> 00:15:00,340
other people as far as possible I climb alone but
occasionally I look to others for support when I

155
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,720
was younger I used to do most of my climbing
during the summer holidays and haven't done

156
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,790
much winter climbing so I still feel out of my
depth climbing alone on rock face is covered

157
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:15,340
in ice when it's dangerous like that you need
people who've been brought up with it it's good

158
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:20,440
to have people around to advise you on what's
a safe maneuver to make in the circumstances

159
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,860
so Ben you're well-known in the climbing world

such a household name it must be terrifying for
staff when you go into a restaurant how do they

172
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:49,300
react it's true that a lot of people know me at
least in the restaurant world so I always eat

173
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:55,390
with a friend and they'll make the booking often
though I get recognized and when that happens it's

174
00:16:55,390 --> 00:17:01,510
inevitable I suppose that they take a bit more
care over serving the food and some seem a bit

175
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:07,329
nervous I've never been given a complimentary meal
though or anything like that that would be just
176
00:17:07,329 --> 00:17:13,659
too obvious and of course it could be considered
unethical to accept a gift like that and what

177
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:19,420
makes a good restaurant a good restaurant is one
where the management and waiting staff have given

178
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:24,430
some thoughts why their customers are their most
restaurant owners believe that the main reason

179
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:29,980
people go to restaurants is for the food for
that completely wrong the main reason people go

180
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:35,170
to restaurants is to have a good time not because
they're hungry so there might be a big difference

181
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:41,170
between the priorities of a restaurant and the
priorities of diners for example one thing that

182
00:17:41,170 --> 00:17:46,480
a restaurant gets judged on is the quality of
service what restaurant owners think is good is

183
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,370
service that is efficient but what customers
have as their priority is friendly service

184
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,720
you're such a household name it must be terrifying
for staff when you go into a restaurant how do

185
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,870
they react it's true that a lot of people know me
at least in the restaurant world so I always eat

186
00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:13,990
with a friend and they'll make the booking often

00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:38,020
makes a good restaurant a good restaurant is one

197
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:19,670
unit for recording sex so how on earth did
they manage to get in there's no sign of a

198
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:25,640
forced entry well I suppose they could have got
in through a window up on the fourth floor but no

199
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,900
one would have dared climb up the outside of
the building anybody trying to do that would

200
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,740
have been seen from the street below you don't
think they would have been able to jump from

201
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:39,050
the block across the road do you now is much
too far of course there's always a fire escape

202
00:19:39,050 --> 00:19:43,940
around the back of the building they could have
climbed up there reasonably easily but after that

203
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:49,580
they might have been lowered by rope from the
roof if that was the case people living in the

204
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:55,490
block of flats behind the museum might have seen
something so we need to talk to them right but

205
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,660
we needn't interview everyone in the block just
the people who have windows facing the museum

206
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:05,690
I'll arrange that if it wasn't a window the only
other possibility is that they went in through

207
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:11,930
the front door perhaps they forced the lock but
the door didn't appear to be damaged at all and

208
00:20:11,930 --> 00:20:17,120
the entry code is supposed to be known only by
the security guard so someone else must have

209
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,220
opened the door from the inside only the security
guard was allowed to stay in the museum after it

210
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:27,200
closed do you think they somehow persuaded
him to let them in maybe they just knocked

211
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,100
on the front door and he opened it they surely
wouldn't have done something as stupid as that

212
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:38,540
do you think he might have been expecting them
and that he was part of the gang but then why

213
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,730
would they have attacked him I don't know but
we better find out what we can about that guard

214
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:50,660
as soon as possible now who was it that raised
the alarm it was the head cleaner who went into

215
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:58,220
the building early this morning he must have to
know the entry code too yes maybe he says the

216
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:02,210
front door was unlocked when he got here but
he claims he didn't see anything else unusual

217
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:09,260
until he got at a fourth floor but of course he
might be lying yes he must know that he ought

218
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:13,850
to have called the police as soon as he found
the door open I wonder why he didn't I think

219
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,590
we should talk to him again I suppose he could
be hiding some information from us and he might

220
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:23,600
be prepared to tell us more if we put a bit of
pressure on him the other puzzling thing is how

221
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,270
they took the paintings away apparently they're
very big so the rubbers must have had to bring

222
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:33,950
a van around to the front of the building but the
driver must have been waiting nearby and drove up

223
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:38,330
when they've got the paintings they could have
loaded the paintings up very quickly and might

224
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:43,730
have driven straight to a port or airport anyway
the forensic team should have finished examining

225
00:21:43,730 --> 00:21:47,750
the
building by now once they've done that I
think we should go and look around for ourselves

226
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:58,020
unit 5 recording 7 right perhaps you could tell
me something about how you got interested in

227
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:03,990
environmental science and what experience you have
in the subject well I've always been fascinated by

228
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:10,620
plants and animals and then last year a friend of
mine Mike Proctor invited me to Brazil he's the

229
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:16,470
head of a project there run by a European charity
the charity's aim is to help groups of villagers

230
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:21,690
set up their own schools and medical centers
they also encourage sustainable agriculture

231
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:28,230
and the setting up of businesses to sell local
handicrafts anyway it was during my stay that I

232
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:34,410
really began to understand the impacts of climate
change I want to learn more about this and more

233
00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:39,120
generally how decision-making on environmental
issues in one part of the world can affect the

234
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:45,960
lives of individuals elsewhere you say you began
to understand the impact of climate change could
235
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,360
you give me an example of what you saw in Brazil
that influenced you yes of course we've all heard

236
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,150
about the destruction of the rainforest and I
was able to see examples of that but also people

237
00:22:57,150 --> 00:23:01,860
don't realize that the climate in the region
is changing and that the speed of change is

238
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:07,350
frightening there's been a drought there for a
number of months and river levels are low I had

239
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:12,690
direct experience of this when I travelled with
Mike having responsibility for the whole project

240
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:18,660
in the area means that his job involves travelling
to some pretty remote areas sometimes we had to

241
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:23,730
go by boat to get to some of the villages and we
had to carry the boats because there wasn't enough

242
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:30,960
water in the river and is this change affecting
the lives of local people a huge amount the main

243
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,450
problem has been the effect of the drought on food
supplies the majority of people there are farmers

244
00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:43,380
and all of them have lost animals and crops the
charity's projects has been a success so far in

245
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:49,410
the levels of income from the sale of handicrafts
have increased but of course financial success

246
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:55,650
isn't everything it's hard to imagine a future
without farming in an area like that your trip

247
00:23:55,650 --> 00:24:01,110
to Brazil sounds like an amazing experience and
since you've been back have you done anything

248
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:07,290
to develop your interest in the area yes read a
book about energy conservation and how this might

249
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:12,750
slow down climate change and I was particularly
interested in how the Netherlands has begun to

250
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:18,000
tackle the problem the government has introduced
some really interesting projects on energy saving

251
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,790
in cities the use of low-energy light bulbs to
reduce the consumption of lighting energy better

252
00:24:23,790 --> 00:24:30,750
insulation for homes and things like that there's
also a massive recycling scheme which is saving an

253
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:37,920
enormous amount of waste what's needed now though
is to expand work like this across the world mmm

254
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,220
and what are your plans for the future what do you
want to do after you've left college actually I'd

255
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:49,620
like to go into politics we've got some how to
persuade governments in developed countries to

256
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:56,100
change their priorities for example even if just
a small percentage of the money spent on the arms

257
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:01,680
trade could go into tackling climate change I'm
sure we could make a difference and you think

258
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:08,760
that as a politician you'd be able to do this I'd
certainly like to try before we finish have you

259
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,250
got any questions about the course here at the
college mm-hmm I've noticed that statistics is

260
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:20,160
included in the course I'm a bit concerned about
that I wouldn't worry about it you'd be able

261
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,980
to get by with a reasonable knowledge of maths
oh that's very reassuring I also wanted to ask

262
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:32,580
about the field trip for second-year students
okay second-year students go to Nepal in June

263
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:38,130
looking at the ecology of mountain environments
well that sounds like a fantastic opportunity

264
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:48,330
unit six reporting eight speaker one I took
up running a couple of years ago until then

265
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:53,880
I did a bit of sport at school but I didn't do
much outside school at all in fact I suppose I

266
00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,450
didn't have many interests except playing computer
games then I went to watch my uncle in a 5k Fun

267
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:05,970
Run it was to raise money for charity I thought
the whole event was brilliant and every one of

268
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:11,670
there seemed to be enjoying it there was another
fun run later in the year and I signed up for a

269
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:17,280
laugh I didn't do any proper training for it just
a bit of jogging around the park after school so I

270
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,700
was really surprised when I managed to run all
the way now I run nearly every day and I get a

271
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:28,980
lot of satisfaction out of it my friends all think
I'm crazy none of them like the thought of running

272
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:35,070
long distances I think about all kinds of stuff
when I'm running and I know it's really good for

273
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:41,010
my heart and lungs sure some people get running
injuries but I've been lucky I've had none so far

274
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:48,740
speaker 2 I'd never really thought about
exercising keeping fit until a couple of

275
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:54,680
years ago my boyfriend and I were in town late
and we had to run to catch the last bus home just

276
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,080
a couple of hundred meters by the time we got to
the bus stop both of us were completely exhausted

277
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,900
on the way home we started talking neither of us
did any exercise and I didn't do much with my free

278
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:12,410
time just reading magazines and eating biscuits by
the time we got home we'd each decided to take up

279
00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:17,600
a different activity for six months and see who
could lose the most weight my boyfriend joined

280
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,670
a gym and I started running in the local park
just a few hundred meters at first and gradually

281
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:29,000
building up now I run a few kilometres each day
of course that takes up quite a lot of time and
282
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,760
my boyfriend moans about that sometimes but after
I've been sitting up a computer all day I can't

283
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,880
wait to go out for a run we certainly both got
a lot fitter and I've lost a lot of weight not

284
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,950
all the effects are positive of course I've had a
few problems with sore knees and sprained ankles

285
00:27:45,950 --> 00:27:51,230
I suppose all exercise carries some risks but
there isn't much evidence that running causes

286
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:56,570
major problems if you warm up carefully and have
good footwear it's one of the few sports where no

287
00:27:56,570 --> 00:28:05,830
special equipments needed just a pair of running
shoes speaker3 I had three older brothers and I

288
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:10,300
think they could all have been Olympic athletes
if they'd had the opportunity so it was quite

289
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:15,610
natural that I would go out running with them
I think I started at about the age of ten and

290
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:21,220
I've been running regularly all my life now that
I'm getting older I go out running every couple

291
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:26,320
of days but if the weather's bad I might go
all week without a run I certainly go out a

292
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,480
lot less during the winter well who would
want to go running on a horrible rainy day

293
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:38,140
inevitably you get a few injuries too everyone
gets aching muscles after a long run and I used
294
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:43,960
to get back pain occasionally but surprisingly
I seem to have fewer injuries now than when I

295
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,590
was younger maybe it's because I run more slowly
actually I feel a lot healthier and I even sleep

296
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:56,050
a little better after I've been out running but I
think the best thing for me is the social contact

297
00:28:56,050 --> 00:29:02,590
we've got a running club in our village I moved
here when I retired and before I join the club

298
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:09,340
I had very few friends who live nearby now many
of my closest friends are the runners in the club

299
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:15,880
next
spring were all going to Madrid to run in
a marathon for over-60s only of course we know

300
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,890
that not all of us will finish but you can be sure
that every one of us will have a really good time

301
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:27,760
my aim is to complete the course and do it in
less than six hours but I know it won't be easy

302
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:39,500
unit six recording nine exam practice listening
part two you will hear a woman called Janet Naylor

303
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:46,970
talking about her experience as a volunteer
in Tanzania for questions 1 to 8 complete the

304
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:53,270
sentences with a word or short phrase earlier
this year I fulfilled a lifelong ambition of

305
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:59,210
mine by working for three months as a volunteer
in an African country I'm in my late 50s now and

306
00:29:59,210 --> 00:30:04,850
I don't have the commitments that have previously
held me back like bringing up small children I've

307
00:30:04,850 --> 00:30:09,740
worked in marketing for much of my life and I
wanted to use the skills I have to help out in

308
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:14,990
a small way I applied to do voluntary work a
couple of years ago but it wasn't until about

309
00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:21,530
a year later that a suitable scheme came up and
I was asked to go the reaction of my friends to

310
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:26,930
the news was very interesting the majority of
them told me how impressed they were and a lot

311
00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:31,910
said that given the opportunity they'd like to
do something similar although I must say that

312
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:37,820
some of them were not so keen when I told them
later about how basic the conditions were but

313
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:43,430
a few clearly disapproved of what I was doing
they argued that I was patronizing Africans by

314
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:49,280
intervening and telling them how to run their
lives but I saw it rather differently it's

315
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,930
true that in an ideal world development scheme
should be set up by the communities themselves

316
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:59,840
that they're going to benefit but sometimes local
people don't yet have the necessary skills to make

317
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,360
them effective and need some kind of outside
expert support such as international agencies

318
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,810
and that's where I came in I was an advisor to a
scheme based in a village of about 200 people in

319
00:31:11,810 --> 00:31:17,930
Tanzania it involved building concrete tanks to
capture water during the wet season with the aim

320
00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:23,270
of reducing the problem of drought during the
rest of the year with better irrigation would

321
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:27,920
come more reliable crops so that the villagers
wouldn't be so dependent on international aid

322
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,890
the problems they were getting really serious
there had hardly been any rain in the area for

323
00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:39,680
the previous three or four years the whole region
was on the brink of starvation and handouts from

324
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,390
charities were the only thing that kept people
alive the scheme had been underway for less than

325
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:50,450
a year when I arrived and my brief was to suggest
ways in which the villagers could market any Agri

326
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:54,890
cultural production that was surplus to their
own requirements any food that they didn't need

327
00:31:54,890 --> 00:32:00,140
themselves I've heard now that the village is
making money from its crops by selling them in

328
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:06,110
other parts of Tanzania and even exporting some
produce and it's built a primary school and a
329
00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:11,360
small Health Centre it's very gratifying to know
that the scheme has completely transformed its

330
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,830
prospects and the village is now well on
its way to becoming a thriving community

331
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,480
now listen to part two again

332
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:33,350
unit seven recording ten in the studio today we
have the novelist David Bharath whose most recent

333
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:40,070
book a woman alone was published last week welcome
to the program David thanks for inviting me now

334
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:45,230
David you came relatively late writing didn't
you well I suppose had always been a writer

335
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:50,720
poems short stories and so on but only that close
family had read anything I'd written until I had

336
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,940
my first novel published in my only Fortas and how
did you feel about that oh I felt fantastic having

337
00:32:55,940 --> 00:33:01,160
my first book published at that time you were a
primary school teacher in your native Scotland at

338
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,350
what stage did you leave teaching until my third
novel was published I was happy to teach during

339
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:11,240
the day and write in the evening at at weekends
but I found that there wasn't enough time to do

340
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,420
both as well as I wanted to so I left teaching and
I started writing professionally some of my close
341
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:22,940
friends thought I was mad to give up my job and I
was greatly relieved but my subsequent books sold

342
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:28,250
quite well so no regrets about leaving teaching
oh it was the most difficult decision imaginable

343
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:34,040
I'd worked at the same school for about 15 years
and I felt bad leaving the children and also some

344
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,690
very close colleagues and friends but I still
lived near the school and I go back on every

345
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:44,480
possible occasion tell us something about the
process of your writing how carefully do you

346
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,820
outline the story at the very beginning before I
start writing I always know how a book is going

347
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:55,400
to end although I rarely have a clear idea at the
beginning of how the characters will develop as I

348
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,590
write gradually they grow into real people in
my own mind but sometimes even I'm surprised

349
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:05,750
at how they turn out and what about your daily
work routine I suppose I'm fairly disciplined

350
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:10,820
in my writing I'm generally up at about 7:00 in
the morning and I usually start work by about 8

351
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:16,370
o'clock I work upstairs we've converted our
attic into a study in the early stages of a

352
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:21,620
new book I'll often go to the city library in the
afternoon to do some research you don't use the
353
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:27,350
internet as a rule I prefer finding information
from books and I only turned to the Internet as

354
00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:32,719
a last resort let's go on now to your latest
novel a woman alone I was surprised to find

355
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:39,199
it set in Norway yes I finished my previous book
last January had been feeling really tired and I

356
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:45,419
was aware that I needed rest and the source of
fresh ideas I taught English in Sweden after I

357
00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:51,030
left University and I still speak Swedish quite
well but I hadn't been to Norway before there

358
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:56,130
are a lot of historical links between Norway and
the north of Scotland so I decided to spend some

359
00:34:56,130 --> 00:35:01,710
weeks there some of the geographical setting
is used in a woman alone are based on places

360
00:35:01,710 --> 00:35:06,360
I've visited while I was traveling around and a
woman alone seems to be more personal than many

361
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,010
of your other works I'd already decided that
I wanted to write about a single-parent family

362
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:16,710
as you may know my sister and I were brought up
by my mother on her own the mother in the story

363
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:22,320
Elsa is very protective of her children as was my
own mother but although they have certain common

364
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,590
characteristics Elsa is not really modelled on
my mother Elsa is quite a dominant figure and

365
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:33,810
a woman susceptible to periods of depression
whereas my mother was a rather gentle woman

366
00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:39,390
it all was calm and when you're researching
and writing books do you have time to read

367
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:45,630
other people's novels I do yes one novelist I
greatly admire is William Boyd you write simply

368
00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:50,670
but with great control of language I've just
finished his excellent novel Restless it's a

369
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:55,650
quite remarkable story I'll certainly add that
to my list of books to read and what about your

370
00:35:55,650 --> 00:36:01,170
present writing project what are you working on
now well I don't know if I can tell you yet I'm

371
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:06,150
still sketching out the plot so it's very much
in the early stages and know there'll be a lot

372
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:11,970
of people waiting eagerly to get hold of it David
Barras thank you for talking to us my pleasure

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,260
unit one recording two and our next caller is
Karen Karen what's your experience of public

2
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:13,650
transport yes hello Gary well I commuted to
London for over ten years I caught the train

3
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:19,260
every morning at 7:15 to get to work for 9 o'clock
and I wouldn't get home until about 7 o'clock in
4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,010
the evening and frankly it was a terrible period
of my life really stressful mainly because of the

5
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:31,770
unreliability of the train service I was forever
arriving late for work one day I was travelling

6
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:36,960
home when the train broke down and I eventually
got back at midnight of course I had to go to

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,170
work the next day so off I went for my 7:15 train
I've been waiting over an hour when they announced

8
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:49,080
that the train was cancelled that really was the
end for me I arranged with my employer to work

9
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,730
at home and I've been working at home happily
for the last five years of course it meant a

10
00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:59,250
big salary cuts but I haven't regretted it for a
moment thanks for that Karen can you just stay on

11
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:05,580
the line I'm hoping we've got Liam on the line
Liam you there yes I'm here Gary great and what

12
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:10,410
point do you want to make well I just wanted to
say that my experience is similar to your last

13
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:16,110
caller although I'm a newcomer to commuting by
public transport I've just sold my car and now

14
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:22,410
I go to work by bus I don't a car ever since I
left college but I wanted to do my bit to cut

15
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:28,620
down on pollution but I have to confess that I'm
regretting it already I've arrived late for work
16
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,350
twice this week because the boss hasn't turned off
on time it's got so bad that I'm now thinking of

17
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:40,200
buying a motorbike it'll cause less pollution in
a car and be more reliable and public transport

18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,710
well it sounds like you're another dissatisfied
customer Liam but we've also got Saha on the line

19
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:52,740
and I think she's more positive sahar are you
there I am Gary good afternoon hello Saha what

20
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:57,990
do you want to tell us well I'd like to put in
a good word for train travel I'm working at home

21
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:03,000
when our office block is being renovated and while
I'm appreciating being able to get up later than

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,160
usual I really miss my daily commute you get
to know the people you travel with every day

23
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,910
I remember one day I dropped my purse while I was
getting off the train another person you picked it

24
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:19,340
found my dress in it and brought it round to
my house later that evening another time I'd

25
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,530
been working really hard and went to sleep and
miss my station one of the other passengers was

26
00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:29,690
getting off at the next station and she had her
car parked there she woke me up and offered me

27
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,150
a lift back to my home I'd spoken to her only a
couple of times before then but now she's a really

28
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:40,790
good friend you meet a lot of nice people and
become a part of the traveling community Thanks

29
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:45,980
aha that's a sight of commuting we don't often
hear about now somebody else who sees the good

30
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:51,620
side of train journeys Luka are you there Luka
yes indeed actually I'm phoning from the train

31
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:57,710
on my way home from work and are you having a good
journey yes it's been fine but then I love trains

32
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,290
I've enjoyed travelling by train ever since I was
young I admit that it can be frustrating at times

33
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:09,290
there are delays and cancellations and there
are minor irritations like poor mobile phone

34
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:14,240
reception I've been trying to phone in to your
program for the last half hour in fact but I

35
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,370
catch the 705 at the station near my home every
morning and still find there's something quite

36
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:24,890
magical about stepping onto the train and there
are clear advantages over driving apartment lack

37
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:29,930
of stress I reckon that over the years I've
saved a huge amount of money by using public

38
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:36,560
transport I've never really considered buying a
car you can also get a lot of work done on the

39
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,090
train yesterday morning for example I'd read a
couple of reports and prepared for an important

40
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:46,970
meeting before I even got to work literally I'm
quite lucky the train company I travel with have

41
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:51,770
invested a lot of money recently they've bought
new trains and have really improved the service

42
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:57,770
Garry Karen were you wanting to say something
yes I just wanted to pick up Lucas point that

43
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:03,380
traveling by train is less stressful than driving
public transport can be stressful too when trains

44
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:08,960
don't turn up or are delayed what's less
stressful is working at home at 8 o'clock

45
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,010
I'm usually having a leisurely breakfast where
most people are in their cars or on the train

46
00:04:13,010 --> 00:04:20,149
yesterday I'd finished all my work by 2:30 so I
drove the local pool for a swim and today I've

47
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:24,890
been working hard all day so now I've got time
to relax by listening to the radio for a while

48
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:30,560
much better than stress of commuting you're very
lucky Karen we've got another caller on the line

49
00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:40,030
unit 2 recording 3 you must be really looking
forward to going to America when are you actually

50
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:45,610
leaving I'm flying on the 15th of July I'm
spending a few days sightseeing in New York

51
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:53,050
and then I arrive in Los Angeles on the 20th let's
just start on the 27th of July sounds great and

52
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:58,330
what about accommodation well first I'm going to
stay with Daniel and Susannah some friends of my

53
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:02,980
parents you're not staying with them the whole
time you're there are you know I'll be looking

54
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:08,650
for my own place but I'm really pleased they'll be
around it'll be good to know I can contact them in

55
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:15,010
case I have any problems they're meeting me at the
airport to mind you I haven't seen them for years

56
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:21,400
they'll have forgotten what I look like and what
about the course it looks really interesting they

57
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,740
sent me a reading list but of course I haven't
got around to opening any of the books yet so

58
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:32,650
it's going to take a long time to catch up I'll
be studying really hard during the semesters so

59
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:38,290
that I don't have to do much work in the vacations
and when does the first semester end the 7th of

60
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:43,870
December then I'm going to San Francisco for a
week I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate

61
00:05:43,870 --> 00:05:48,940
Bridge I'm going to fly up there if it's not too
expensive do you know when you'll be back in Los

62
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:55,420
Angeles probably mid December so you can come
anytime after that I'm so looking forward to
63
00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,790
it I've always wanted to go to the States I was
going to see my aunt in Seattle a couple of years

64
00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:06,910
ago but I cancelled the trip because she got ill
will you stop over anywhere on the way out maybe

65
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:13,420
New York or Chicago I have really thought about it
but I've only got three weeks so I think I'll fly

66
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:19,360
directly to Los Angeles fine and I'll meet you
at the airport of course by the time you come

67
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,760
I'm sure I'll have got to know Ellie really well
so I'll be able to show you all the sights yes I

68
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,130
suppose you will when I come to see you you'll
have been living in California for nearly six

69
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:36,880
months hard to imagine isn't it after Los Angeles
I thought we could go down to a place called

70
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,700
Huntington Beach if you bring your tent we'll
camp there for a few days the weather will still

71
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:49,690
be quite warm even in the winter isn't it your
birthday around there that's right I'll be 21 on

72
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:55,780
the 2nd of January well that'll be a really good
way to celebrate the best I'll need to get back to

73
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:01,270
Los Angeles for when the second semester starts
but you'll be staying longer won't you that's

74
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:07,150
right I don't have to be back in England until
later well why don't you go to the Grand Canyon
75
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:13,720
it's supposed to be spectacular yeah I might
think
about that anyway as soon as I booked my

76
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,410
tickets I'll let you know it will key we can sort
out the details closer to the time fine look it's

77
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:26,980
nearly 2 o'clock if I don't go now I'm going to be
late for my next lecture I'll text you yeah see ya

78
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:38,160
unit three recording four and now on radio nation
it's 8:30 and here's a summary of the latest news

79
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,850
air passengers could be hit badly today as cabin
crews stay at home in the latest in a series of

80
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:50,640
one-day strikes the major airlines are warning
that up to 100,000 people may experience delays

81
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,360
the managing director of travel air David Wade
had this warning to the union's I'm sure I don't

82
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,650
need to spell out the chaos being caused in the
airline industry as a result of these strikes and

83
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:07,380
I would like to apologize to all our customers
however the cabin staff must accept the new

84
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:12,270
working conditions if the airline is to compete
and the management has no choice but to stand

85
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:18,810
firm on this issue but he didn't have to wait long
for a response a union spokesperson said I can't

86
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:24,060
believe mr. Wade is being so confrontational we
will not be bullied by management eventually the

87
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:30,180
airlines will have to return to the negotiating
table up to 200 teachers and pupils had to be

88
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:35,490
evacuated from Northfield primary school in South
Wales today after a fire broke out in an adjacent

89
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:40,260
building although firefighters were able to
bring the fire under control fairly quickly

90
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:44,880
they couldn't prevent the fire damaging the
school's Sports Center the head teacher said

91
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,900
it might be a number of months before the sports
center is back in operation although the school

92
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:55,020
itself should be able to reopen early next week
the new borland bridge connecting the island to

93
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:00,630
the mainland was officially opened today by the
Transport Minister however it's been an operation

94
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:05,910
for a few weeks already and has received a mixed
reception from Islanders from Borland here's our

95
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:12,810
reporter Anna Curtis yes the new bridge has
stirred up a lot of strong emotion on Borland

96
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:19,590
and I'm here to gather the views of some of the
islands residents excuse me what do you think of

97
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:25,950
the new bridge I think it will be of great benefit
to the island we used to be terribly isolated here

98
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:30,870
because the ferry service was so bad it's only
a short distance but the crossing would take

99
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:36,840
over an hour at least it could be a very rough
journey too many passengers would get seasick

100
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,840
during the crossing excuse me I'm asking people
about the effects of the new bridge they reckon

101
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,840
that tourism on the island is set to expand that's
such a good thing there are already far too many

102
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760
cars and people will also get wealthy people
from the mainland who can afford second homes

103
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,620
that will push up house prices it and Islanders
won't be able to buy properties that can't be

104
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,570
right surely there are to be restrictions on the
number of people moving here it's certainly true

105
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:08,820
that the bridge is going to have a major impact
on the way of life of the people here over the

106
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:16,350
next few years but whether that will be a positive
or a negative effect only time will tell following

107
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:21,000
her report on the high levels of obesity among
children the government's chief health advisor

108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,430
professor Carmen Brady has said that schools have
to play a more active role in encouraging children

to take up sports she has also criticized
parents parents needn't be very interested
110
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:37,590
in sport themselves but they should give their
children whatever encouragement they can while

111
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:43,140
we were gathering information for our report we
found that some parents will actually discourage

112
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:48,360
their children from taking up a sport on the basis
that they might get distracted from their academic

113
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,470
studies this negative attitude sport mustn't
be allowed to continue not if we are to get on

top of the obesity crisis facing the country
and finally the weather well if you're in the

115
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,220
south of the country you shouldn't be troubled
by any rain today it will be warm sunny and

116
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:10,650
dry with temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius

part one you will hear three different extracts

119
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:36,640
for questions one two six choose the answer a B or
C which fits best according to what you hear there

120
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,320
are two questions for each extract extract one
you hear two people on a radio program discussing

121
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,380
music education for children research shows
that the optimum time to start music education
122
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:55,720
is between the ages of three and four as well
as improving manual dexterity and concentration

123
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,060
it seems that it may help emotional development
to and starting young on understanding musical

124
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,130
notation laced down an excellent foundation for
later on the piano is the instrument that many

125
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:10,300
parents want their children to start learning
and I think three years old is the right time to

126
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:16,120
start starting early is vital but less demanding
instruments would be my choice things like the

127
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,120
recorder or a half-size guitar personally I don't
think the piano is the best instrument to start

128
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,340
with so early children have to show the mental
physical and emotional readiness to learn an

129
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:33,910
instrument like the piano which obviously takes a
lot of effort and commitment in my experience very

130
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:39,220
few children under six are able to take on that
kind of challenge well I think children of that

131
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:43,660
age can learn to play simple tunes on the piano
and they soon progress to more complicated pieces

132
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:48,790
if they could read music but a rather academic
approach will turn children off for life if

133
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:55,300
they're not ready for it enjoyment has got to be
the priority well enjoyment is certainly important

extract two out of an interview with a rock
climber called Ben so Ben you're well-known

148
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:25,990
in the climbing world as a bit of a loner you
prefer climbing without other people is that

149
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:32,140
true well to some extent I've always talked
to other climbers about the technical side

150
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:37,270
of things training
equipment and things like
that but at the end of the day you've got to

151
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,340
learn independently through trial and error
if you're climbing in a group you'll always

152
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:47,650
compare yourself to others and that doesn't
always help you to improve it's good to admire

153
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:53,590
other climbers but different things work best
for different people so you never climb with

154
00:14:53,590 --> 00:15:00,340
other people as far as possible I climb alone but
occasionally I look to others for support when I

155
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,720
was younger I used to do most of my climbing
during the summer holidays and haven't done

156
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,790
much winter climbing so I still feel out of my
depth climbing alone on rock face is covered
157
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:15,340
in ice when it's dangerous like that you need
people who've been brought up with it it's good

158
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:20,440
to have people around to advise you on what's
a safe maneuver to make in the circumstances

159
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,860
so Ben you're well-known in the climbing world

extract three you hear part of an interview with
a restaurant critic called Amanda downing you're

171
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:43,330
such a household name it must be terrifying for
staff when you go into a restaurant how do they

172
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:49,300
react it's true that a lot of people know me at
least in the restaurant world so I always eat

173
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:55,390
with a friend and they'll make the booking often
though I get recognized and when that happens it's

174
00:16:55,390 --> 00:17:01,510
inevitable I suppose that they take a bit more
care over serving the food and some seem a bit

175
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:07,329
nervous I've never been given a complimentary meal
though or anything like that that would be just

176
00:17:07,329 --> 00:17:13,659
too obvious and of course it could be considered
unethical to accept a gift like that and what

177
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:19,420
makes a good restaurant a good restaurant is one
where the management and waiting staff have given

178
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:24,430
some thoughts why their customers are their most
restaurant owners believe that the main reason

179
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:29,980
people go to restaurants is for the food for
that completely wrong the main reason people go

180
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:35,170
to restaurants is to have a good time not because
they're hungry so there might be a big difference

181
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:41,170
between the priorities of a restaurant and the
priorities of diners for example one thing that

182
00:17:41,170 --> 00:17:46,480
a restaurant gets judged on is the quality of
service what restaurant owners think is good is

183
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,370
service that is efficient but what customers
have as their priority is friendly service

184
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,720
you're such a household name it must be terrifying
for staff when you go into a restaurant how do

197
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:19,670
unit for recording sex so how on earth did
they manage to get in there's no sign of a

198
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:25,640
forced entry well I suppose they could have got
in through a window up on the fourth floor but no

199
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,900
one would have dared climb up the outside of
the building anybody trying to do that would

200
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,740
have been seen from the street below you don't
think they would have been able to jump from

201
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:39,050
the block across the road do you now is much
too far of course there's always a fire escape

202
00:19:39,050 --> 00:19:43,940
around the back of the building they could have
climbed up there reasonably easily but after that

203
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:49,580
they might have been lowered by rope from the
roof if that was the case people living in the

204
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:55,490
block of flats behind the museum might have seen
something so we need to talk to them right but

205
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,660
we needn't interview everyone in the block just
the people who have windows facing the museum

206
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:05,690
I'll arrange that if it wasn't a window the only
other possibility is that they went in through

207
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:11,930
the front door perhaps they forced the lock but
the door didn't appear to be damaged at all and

208
00:20:11,930 --> 00:20:17,120
the entry code is supposed to be known only by
the security guard so someone else must have

209
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,220
opened the door from the inside only the security
guard was allowed to stay in the museum after it

210
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:27,200
closed do you think they somehow persuaded
him to let them in maybe they just knocked

211
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,100
on the front door and he opened it they surely
wouldn't have done something as stupid as that

212
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:38,540
do you think he might have been expecting them
and that he was part of the gang but then why

213
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,730
would they have attacked him I don't know but
we better find out what we can about that guard

214
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:50,660
as soon as possible now who was it that raised
the alarm it was the head cleaner who went into

215
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:58,220
the building early this morning he must have to
know the entry code too yes maybe he says the
216
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:02,210
front door was unlocked when he got here but
he claims he didn't see anything else unusual

217
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:09,260
until he got at a fourth floor but of course he
might be lying yes he must know that he ought

218
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:13,850
to have called the police as soon as he found
the door open I wonder why he didn't I think

219
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,590
we should talk to him again I suppose he could
be hiding some information from us and he might

220
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:23,600
be prepared to tell us more if we put a bit of
pressure on him the other puzzling thing is how

221
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,270
they took the paintings away apparently they're
very big so the rubbers must have had to bring

222
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:33,950
a van around to the front of the building but the
driver must have been waiting nearby and drove up

223
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:38,330
when they've got the paintings they could have
loaded the paintings up very quickly and might

224
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:43,730
have driven straight to a port or airport anyway
the forensic team should have finished examining

225
00:21:43,730 --> 00:21:47,750
the
building by now once they've done that I
think we should go and look around for ourselves

226
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:58,020
unit 5 recording 7 right perhaps you could tell
me something about how you got interested in

227
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:03,990
environmental science and what experience you have
in the subject well I've always been fascinated by

228
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:10,620
plants and animals and then last year a friend of
mine Mike Proctor invited me to Brazil he's the

229
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:16,470
head of a project there run by a European charity
the charity's aim is to help groups of villagers

230
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:21,690
set up their own schools and medical centers
they also encourage sustainable agriculture

231
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:28,230
and the setting up of businesses to sell local
handicrafts anyway it was during my stay that I

232
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:34,410
really began to understand the impacts of climate
change I want to learn more about this and more

233
00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:39,120
generally how decision-making on environmental
issues in one part of the world can affect the

234
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:45,960
lives of individuals elsewhere you say you began
to understand the impact of climate change could

235
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,360
you give me an example of what you saw in Brazil
that influenced you yes of course we've all heard

236
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,150
about the destruction of the rainforest and I
was able to see examples of that but also people

237
00:22:57,150 --> 00:23:01,860
don't realize that the climate in the region
is changing and that the speed of change is

238
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:07,350
frightening there's been a drought there for a
number of months and river levels are low I had

239
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:12,690
direct experience of this when I travelled with
Mike having responsibility for the whole project

240
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:18,660
in the area means that his job involves travelling
to some pretty remote areas sometimes we had to

241
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:23,730
go by boat to get to some of the villages and we
had to carry the boats because there wasn't enough

242
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:30,960
water in the river and is this change affecting
the lives of local people a huge amount the main

243
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,450
problem has been the effect of the drought on food
supplies the majority of people there are farmers

244
00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:43,380
and all of them have lost animals and crops the
charity's projects has been a success so far in

245
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:49,410
the levels of income from the sale of handicrafts
have increased but of course financial success

246
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:55,650
isn't everything it's hard to imagine a future
without farming in an area like that your trip

247
00:23:55,650 --> 00:24:01,110
to Brazil sounds like an amazing experience and
since you've been back have you done anything

248
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:07,290
to develop your interest in the area yes read a
book about energy conservation and how this might

249
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:12,750
slow down climate change and I was particularly
interested in how the Netherlands has begun to

250
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:18,000
tackle the problem the government has introduced
some really interesting projects on energy saving

251
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,790
in cities the use of low-energy light bulbs to
reduce the consumption of lighting energy better

252
00:24:23,790 --> 00:24:30,750
insulation for homes and things like that there's
also a massive recycling scheme which is saving an

253
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:37,920
enormous amount of waste what's needed now though
is to expand work like this across the world mmm

254
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,220
and what are your plans for the future what do you
want to do after you've left college actually I'd

255
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:49,620
like to go into politics we've got some how to
persuade governments in developed countries to

256
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:56,100
change their priorities for example even if just
a small percentage of the money spent on the arms

257
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:01,680
trade could go into tackling climate change I'm
sure we could make a difference and you think

258
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:08,760
that as a politician you'd be able to do this I'd
certainly like to try before we finish have you

259
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,250
got any questions about the course here at the
college mm-hmm I've noticed that statistics is

260
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:20,160
included in the course I'm a bit concerned about
that I wouldn't worry about it you'd be able

261
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,980
to get by with a reasonable knowledge of maths
oh that's very reassuring I also wanted to ask

262
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:32,580
about the field trip for second-year students
okay second-year students go to Nepal in June
263
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:38,130
looking at the ecology of mountain environments
well that sounds like a fantastic opportunity

264
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:48,330
unit six reporting eight speaker one I took
up running a couple of years ago until then

265
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:53,880
I did a bit of sport at school but I didn't do
much outside school at all in fact I suppose I

266
00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,450
didn't have many interests except playing computer
games then I went to watch my uncle in a 5k Fun

267
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:05,970
Run it was to raise money for charity I thought
the whole event was brilliant and every one of

268
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:11,670
there seemed to be enjoying it there was another
fun run later in the year and I signed up for a

269
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:17,280
laugh I didn't do any proper training for it just
a bit of jogging around the park after school so I

270
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,700
was really surprised when I managed to run all
the way now I run nearly every day and I get a

271
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:28,980
lot of satisfaction out of it my friends all think
I'm crazy none of them like the thought of running

272
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:35,070
long distances I think about all kinds of stuff
when I'm running and I know it's really good for

273
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:41,010
my heart and lungs sure some people get running
injuries but I've been lucky I've had none so far

274
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:48,740
speaker 2 I'd never really thought about
exercising keeping fit until a couple of
275
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:54,680
years ago my boyfriend and I were in town late
and we had to run to catch the last bus home just

276
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,080
a couple of hundred meters by the time we got to
the bus stop both of us were completely exhausted

277
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,900
on the way home we started talking neither of us
did any exercise and I didn't do much with my free

278
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:12,410
time just reading magazines and eating biscuits by
the time we got home we'd each decided to take up

279
00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:17,600
a different activity for six months and see who
could lose the most weight my boyfriend joined

280
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,670
a gym and I started running in the local park
just a few hundred meters at first and gradually

281
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:29,000
building up now I run a few kilometres each day
of course that takes up quite a lot of time and

282
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,760
my boyfriend moans about that sometimes but after
I've been sitting up a computer all day I can't

283
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,880
wait to go out for a run we certainly both got
a lot fitter and I've lost a lot of weight not

284
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,950
all the effects are positive of course I've had a
few problems with sore knees and sprained ankles

285
00:27:45,950 --> 00:27:51,230
I suppose all exercise carries some risks but
there isn't much evidence that running causes

286
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:56,570
major problems if you warm up carefully and have
good footwear it's one of the few sports where no

287
00:27:56,570 --> 00:28:05,830
special equipments needed just a pair of running
shoes speaker3 I had three older brothers and I

288
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:10,300
think they could all have been Olympic athletes
if they'd had the opportunity so it was quite

289
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:15,610
natural that I would go out running with them
I think I started at about the age of ten and

290
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:21,220
I've been running regularly all my life now that
I'm getting older I go out running every couple

291
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:26,320
of days but if the weather's bad I might go
all week without a run I certainly go out a

292
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,480
lot less during the winter well who would
want to go running on a horrible rainy day

293
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:38,140
inevitably you get a few injuries too everyone
gets aching muscles after a long run and I used

294
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:43,960
to get back pain occasionally but surprisingly
I seem to have fewer injuries now than when I

295
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,590
was younger maybe it's because I run more slowly
actually I feel a lot healthier and I even sleep

296
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:56,050
a little better after I've been out running but I
think the best thing for me is the social contact

297
00:28:56,050 --> 00:29:02,590
we've got a running club in our village I moved
here when I retired and before I join the club

298
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:09,340
I had very few friends who live nearby now many
of my closest friends are the runners in the club

299
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:15,880
next
spring were all going to Madrid to run in
a marathon for over-60s only of course we know

300
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,890
that not all of us will finish but you can be sure
that every one of us will have a really good time

301
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:27,760
my aim is to complete the course and do it in
less than six hours but I know it won't be easy

302
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:39,500
unit six recording nine exam practice listening
part two you will hear a woman called Janet Naylor

303
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:46,970
talking about her experience as a volunteer
in Tanzania for questions 1 to 8 complete the

304
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:53,270
sentences with a word or short phrase earlier
this year I fulfilled a lifelong ambition of

305
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:59,210
mine by working for three months as a volunteer
in an African country I'm in my late 50s now and

306
00:29:59,210 --> 00:30:04,850
I don't have the commitments that have previously
held me back like bringing up small children I've

307
00:30:04,850 --> 00:30:09,740
worked in marketing for much of my life and I
wanted to use the skills I have to help out in

308
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:14,990
a small way I applied to do voluntary work a
couple of years ago but it wasn't until about

309
00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:21,530
a year later that a suitable scheme came up and
I was asked to go the reaction of my friends to
310
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:26,930
the news was very interesting the majority of
them told me how impressed they were and a lot

311
00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:31,910
said that given the opportunity they'd like to
do something similar although I must say that

312
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:37,820
some of them were not so keen when I told them
later about how basic the conditions were but

313
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:43,430
a few clearly disapproved of what I was doing
they argued that I was patronizing Africans by

314
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:49,280
intervening and telling them how to run their
lives but I saw it rather differently it's

315
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,930
true that in an ideal world development scheme
should be set up by the communities themselves

316
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:59,840
that they're going to benefit but sometimes local
people don't yet have the necessary skills to make

317
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,360
them effective and need some kind of outside
expert support such as international agencies

318
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,810
and that's where I came in I was an advisor to a
scheme based in a village of about 200 people in

319
00:31:11,810 --> 00:31:17,930
Tanzania it involved building concrete tanks to
capture water during the wet season with the aim

320
00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:23,270
of reducing the problem of drought during the
rest of the year with better irrigation would

321
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:27,920
come more reliable crops so that the villagers
wouldn't be so dependent on international aid
322
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,890
the problems they were getting really serious
there had hardly been any rain in the area for

323
00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:39,680
the previous three or four years the whole region
was on the brink of starvation and handouts from

324
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,390
charities were the only thing that kept people
alive the scheme had been underway for less than

325
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:50,450
a year when I arrived and my brief was to suggest
ways in which the villagers could market any Agri

326
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:54,890
cultural production that was surplus to their
own requirements any food that they didn't need

327
00:31:54,890 --> 00:32:00,140
themselves I've heard now that the village is
making money from its crops by selling them in

328
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:06,110
other parts of Tanzania and even exporting some
produce and it's built a primary school and a

329
00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:11,360
small Health Centre it's very gratifying to know
that the scheme has completely transformed its

330
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,830
prospects and the village is now well on
its way to becoming a thriving community

331
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,480
now listen to part two again

332
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:33,350
unit seven recording ten in the studio today we
have the novelist David Bharath whose most recent

333
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:40,070
book a woman alone was published last week welcome
to the program David thanks for inviting me now
334
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:45,230
David you came relatively late writing didn't
you well I suppose had always been a writer

335
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:50,720
poems short stories and so on but only that close
family had read anything I'd written until I had

336
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,940
my first novel published in my only Fortas and how
did you feel about that oh I felt fantastic having

337
00:32:55,940 --> 00:33:01,160
my first book published at that time you were a
primary school teacher in your native Scotland at

338
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,350
what stage did you leave teaching until my third
novel was published I was happy to teach during

339
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:11,240
the day and write in the evening at at weekends
but I found that there wasn't enough time to do

340
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,420
both as well as I wanted to so I left teaching and
I started writing professionally some of my close

341
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:22,940
friends thought I was mad to give up my job and I
was greatly relieved but my subsequent books sold

342
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:28,250
quite well so no regrets about leaving teaching
oh it was the most difficult decision imaginable

343
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:34,040
I'd worked at the same school for about 15 years
and I felt bad leaving the children and also some

344
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,690
very close colleagues and friends but I still
lived near the school and I go back on every

345
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:44,480
possible occasion tell us something about the
process of your writing how carefully do you

346
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,820
outline the story at the very beginning before I
start writing I always know how a book is going

347
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:55,400
to end although I rarely have a clear idea at the
beginning of how the characters will develop as I

348
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,590
write gradually they grow into real people in
my own mind but sometimes even I'm surprised

349
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:05,750
at how they turn out and what about your daily
work routine I suppose I'm fairly disciplined

350
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:10,820
in my writing I'm generally up at about 7:00 in
the morning and I usually start work by about 8

351
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:16,370
o'clock I work upstairs we've converted our
attic into a study in the early stages of a

352
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:21,620
new book I'll often go to the city library in the
afternoon to do some research you don't use the

353
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:27,350
internet as a rule I prefer finding information
from books and I only turned to the Internet as

354
00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:32,719
a last resort let's go on now to your latest
novel a woman alone I was surprised to find

355
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:39,199
it set in Norway yes I finished my previous book
last January had been feeling really tired and I

356
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:45,419
was aware that I needed rest and the source of
fresh ideas I taught English in Sweden after I

357
00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:51,030
left University and I still speak Swedish quite
well but I hadn't been to Norway before there

358
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:56,130
are a lot of historical links between Norway and
the north of Scotland so I decided to spend some

359
00:34:56,130 --> 00:35:01,710
weeks there some of the geographical setting
is used in a woman alone are based on places

360
00:35:01,710 --> 00:35:06,360
I've visited while I was traveling around and a
woman alone seems to be more personal than many

361
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,010
of your other works I'd already decided that
I wanted to write about a single-parent family

362
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:16,710
as you may know my sister and I were brought up
by my mother on her own the mother in the story

363
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:22,320
Elsa is very protective of her children as was my
own mother but although they have certain common

364
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,590
characteristics Elsa is not really modelled on
my mother Elsa is quite a dominant figure and

365
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:33,810
a woman susceptible to periods of depression
whereas my mother was a rather gentle woman

366
00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:39,390
it all was calm and when you're researching
and writing books do you have time to read

367
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:45,630
other people's novels I do yes one novelist I
greatly admire is William Boyd you write simply

368
00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:50,670
but with great control of language I've just
finished his excellent novel Restless it's a

369
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:55,650
quite remarkable story I'll certainly add that
to my list of books to read and what about your

370
00:35:55,650 --> 00:36:01,170
present writing project what are you working on
now well I don't know if I can tell you yet I'm

371
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:06,150
still sketching out the plot so it's very much
in the early stages and know there'll be a lot

372
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:11,970
of people waiting eagerly to get hold of it David
Barras thank you for talking to us my pleasure

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,260
unit one recording two and our next caller is
Karen Karen what's your experience of public

2
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:13,650
transport yes hello Gary well I commuted to
London for over ten years I caught the train

3
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:19,260
every morning at 7:15 to get to work for 9 o'clock
and I wouldn't get home until about 7 o'clock in

4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,010
the evening and frankly it was a terrible period
of my life really stressful mainly because of the

5
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:31,770
unreliability of the train service I was forever
arriving late for work one day I was travelling

6
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:36,960
home when the train broke down and I eventually
got back at midnight of course I had to go to

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,170
work the next day so off I went for my 7:15 train
I've been waiting over an hour when they announced

8
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:49,080
that the train was cancelled that really was the
end for me I arranged with my employer to work

9
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,730
at home and I've been working at home happily
for the last five years of course it meant a

10
00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:59,250
big salary cuts but I haven't regretted it for a
moment thanks for that Karen can you just stay on

11
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:05,580
the line I'm hoping we've got Liam on the line
Liam you there yes I'm here Gary great and what

12
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:10,410
point do you want to make well I just wanted to
say that my experience is similar to your last

13
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:16,110
caller although I'm a newcomer to commuting by
public transport I've just sold my car and now

14
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:22,410
I go to work by bus I don't a car ever since I
left college but I wanted to do my bit to cut

15
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:28,620
down on pollution but I have to confess that I'm
regretting it already I've arrived late for work

16
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,350
twice this week because the boss hasn't turned off
on time it's got so bad that I'm now thinking of

17
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:40,200
buying a motorbike it'll cause less pollution in
a car and be more reliable and public transport

18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,710
well it sounds like you're another dissatisfied
customer Liam but we've also got Saha on the line

19
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:52,740
and I think she's more positive sahar are you
there I am Gary good afternoon hello Saha what

20
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:57,990
do you want to tell us well I'd like to put in
a good word for train travel I'm working at home

21
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:03,000
when our office block is being renovated and while
I'm appreciating being able to get up later than

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,160
usual I really miss my daily commute you get
to know the people you travel with every day

23
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,910
I remember one day I dropped my purse while I was
getting off the train another person you picked it

24
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:19,340
found my dress in it and brought it round to
my house later that evening another time I'd

25
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,530
been working really hard and went to sleep and
miss my station one of the other passengers was

26
00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:29,690
getting off at the next station and she had her
car parked there she woke me up and offered me

27
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,150
a lift back to my home I'd spoken to her only a
couple of times before then but now she's a really

28
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:40,790
good friend you meet a lot of nice people and
become a part of the traveling community Thanks

29
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:45,980
aha that's a sight of commuting we don't often
hear about now somebody else who sees the good

30
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:51,620
side of train journeys Luka are you there Luka
yes indeed actually I'm phoning from the train

31
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:57,710
on my way home from work and are you having a good
journey yes it's been fine but then I love trains

32
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,290
I've enjoyed travelling by train ever since I was
young I admit that it can be frustrating at times

33
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:09,290
there are delays and cancellations and there
are minor irritations like poor mobile phone

34
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:14,240
reception I've been trying to phone in to your
program for the last half hour in fact but I

35
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,370
catch the 705 at the station near my home every
morning and still find there's something quite

36
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:24,890
magical about stepping onto the train and there
are clear advantages over driving apartment lack

37
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:29,930
of stress I reckon that over the years I've
saved a huge amount of money by using public

38
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:36,560
transport I've never really considered buying a
car you can also get a lot of work done on the

39
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,090
train yesterday morning for example I'd read a
couple of reports and prepared for an important

40
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:46,970
meeting before I even got to work literally I'm
quite lucky the train company I travel with have

41
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:51,770
invested a lot of money recently they've bought
new trains and have really improved the service

42
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:57,770
Garry Karen were you wanting to say something
yes I just wanted to pick up Lucas point that

43
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:03,380
traveling by train is less stressful than driving
public transport can be stressful too when trains
44
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:08,960
don't turn up or are delayed what's less
stressful is working at home at 8 o'clock

45
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,010
I'm usually having a leisurely breakfast where
most people are in their cars or on the train

46
00:04:13,010 --> 00:04:20,149
yesterday I'd finished all my work by 2:30 so I
drove the local pool for a swim and today I've

47
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:24,890
been working hard all day so now I've got time
to relax by listening to the radio for a while

48
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:30,560
much better than stress of commuting you're very
lucky Karen we've got another caller on the line

49
00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:40,030
unit 2 recording 3 you must be really looking
forward to going to America when are you actually

50
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:45,610
leaving I'm flying on the 15th of July I'm
spending a few days sightseeing in New York

51
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:53,050
and then I arrive in Los Angeles on the 20th let's
just start on the 27th of July sounds great and

52
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:58,330
what about accommodation well first I'm going to
stay with Daniel and Susannah some friends of my

53
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:02,980
parents you're not staying with them the whole
time you're there are you know I'll be looking

54
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:08,650
for my own place but I'm really pleased they'll be
around it'll be good to know I can contact them in

55
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:15,010
case I have any problems they're meeting me at the
airport to mind you I haven't seen them for years
56
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:21,400
they'll have forgotten what I look like and what
about the course it looks really interesting they

57
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,740
sent me a reading list but of course I haven't
got around to opening any of the books yet so

58
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:32,650
it's going to take a long time to catch up I'll
be studying really hard during the semesters so

59
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:38,290
that I don't have to do much work in the vacations
and when does the first semester end the 7th of

60
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:43,870
December then I'm going to San Francisco for a
week I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate

61
00:05:43,870 --> 00:05:48,940
Bridge I'm going to fly up there if it's not too
expensive do you know when you'll be back in Los

62
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:55,420
Angeles probably mid December so you can come
anytime after that I'm so looking forward to

63
00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,790
it I've always wanted to go to the States I was
going to see my aunt in Seattle a couple of years

64
00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:06,910
ago but I cancelled the trip because she got ill
will you stop over anywhere on the way out maybe

65
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:13,420
New York or Chicago I have really thought about it
but I've only got three weeks so I think I'll fly

66
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:19,360
directly to Los Angeles fine and I'll meet you
at the airport of course by the time you come

67
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,760
I'm sure I'll have got to know Ellie really well
so I'll be able to show you all the sights yes I

68
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,130
suppose you will when I come to see you you'll
have been living in California for nearly six

69
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:36,880
months hard to imagine isn't it after Los Angeles
I thought we could go down to a place called

70
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,700
Huntington Beach if you bring your tent we'll
camp there for a few days the weather will still

71
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:49,690
be quite warm even in the winter isn't it your
birthday around there that's right I'll be 21 on

72
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:55,780
the 2nd of January well that'll be a really good
way to celebrate the best I'll need to get back to

73
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:01,270
Los Angeles for when the second semester starts
but you'll be staying longer won't you that's

74
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:07,150
right I don't have to be back in England until
later well why don't you go to the Grand Canyon

75
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:13,720
it's supposed to be spectacular yeah I might
think
about that anyway as soon as I booked my

76
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,410
tickets I'll let you know it will key we can sort
out the details closer to the time fine look it's

77
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:26,980
nearly 2 o'clock if I don't go now I'm going to be
late for my next lecture I'll text you yeah see ya

78
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:38,160
unit three recording four and now on radio nation
it's 8:30 and here's a summary of the latest news

79
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,850
air passengers could be hit badly today as cabin
crews stay at home in the latest in a series of

80
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:50,640
one-day strikes the major airlines are warning
that up to 100,000 people may experience delays

81
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,360
the managing director of travel air David Wade
had this warning to the union's I'm sure I don't

82
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,650
need to spell out the chaos being caused in the
airline industry as a result of these strikes and

83
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:07,380
I would like to apologize to all our customers
however the cabin staff must accept the new

84
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:12,270
working conditions if the airline is to compete
and the management has no choice but to stand

85
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:18,810
firm on this issue but he didn't have to wait long
for a response a union spokesperson said I can't

86
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:24,060
believe mr. Wade is being so confrontational we
will not be bullied by management eventually the

87
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:30,180
airlines will have to return to the negotiating
table up to 200 teachers and pupils had to be

88
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:35,490
evacuated from Northfield primary school in South
Wales today after a fire broke out in an adjacent

89
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:40,260
building although firefighters were able to
bring the fire under control fairly quickly

90
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:44,880
they couldn't prevent the fire damaging the
school's Sports Center the head teacher said
91
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,900
it might be a number of months before the sports
center is back in operation although the school

92
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:55,020
itself should be able to reopen early next week
the new borland bridge connecting the island to

93
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:00,630
the mainland was officially opened today by the
Transport Minister however it's been an operation

94
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:05,910
for a few weeks already and has received a mixed
reception from Islanders from Borland here's our

95
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:12,810
reporter Anna Curtis yes the new bridge has
stirred up a lot of strong emotion on Borland

96
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:19,590
and I'm here to gather the views of some of the
islands residents excuse me what do you think of

97
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:25,950
the new bridge I think it will be of great benefit
to the island we used to be terribly isolated here

98
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:30,870
because the ferry service was so bad it's only
a short distance but the crossing would take

99
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:36,840
over an hour at least it could be a very rough
journey too many passengers would get seasick

100
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,840
during the crossing excuse me I'm asking people
about the effects of the new bridge they reckon

101
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,840
that tourism on the island is set to expand that's
such a good thing there are already far too many

102
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760
cars and people will also get wealthy people
from the mainland who can afford second homes
103
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,620
that will push up house prices it and Islanders
won't be able to buy properties that can't be

104
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,570
right surely there are to be restrictions on the
number of people moving here it's certainly true

105
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:08,820
that the bridge is going to have a major impact
on the way of life of the people here over the

106
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:16,350
next few years but whether that will be a positive
or a negative effect only time will tell following

107
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:21,000
her report on the high levels of obesity among
children the government's chief health advisor

108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,430
professor Carmen Brady has said that schools have
to play a more active role in encouraging children

109
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:32,190
to take up sports she has also criticized
parents parents needn't be very interested

110
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:37,590
in sport themselves but they should give their
children whatever encouragement they can while

111
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:43,140
we were gathering information for our report we
found that some parents will actually discourage

112
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:48,360
their children from taking up a sport on the basis
that they might get distracted from their academic

113
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,470
studies this negative attitude sport mustn't
be allowed to continue not if we are to get on

114
00:10:55,470 --> 00:11:00,720
top of the obesity crisis facing the country
and finally the weather well if you're in the

115
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,220
south of the country you shouldn't be troubled
by any rain today it will be warm sunny and

116
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:10,650
dry with temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius
however in the north you are likely to see an

117
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:15,990
occasional shower with maximum temperatures
of around 15 degrees Radio nation news

118
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:28,060
unit three recording five exam practice listening
part one you will hear three different extracts

119
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:36,640
for questions one two six choose the answer a B or
C which fits best according to what you hear there

120
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,320
are two questions for each extract extract one
you hear two people on a radio program discussing

121
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,380
music education for children research shows
that the optimum time to start music education

122
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:55,720
is between the ages of three and four as well
as improving manual dexterity and concentration

123
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,060
it seems that it may help emotional development
to and starting young on understanding musical

124
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,130
notation laced down an excellent foundation for
later on the piano is the instrument that many

125
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:10,300
parents want their children to start learning
and I think three years old is the right time to

126
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:16,120
start starting early is vital but less demanding
instruments would be my choice things like the

127
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,120
recorder or a half-size guitar personally I don't
think the piano is the best instrument to start

128
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,340
with so early children have to show the mental
physical and emotional readiness to learn an

129
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:33,910
instrument like the piano which obviously takes a
lot of effort and commitment in my experience very

130
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:39,220
few children under six are able to take on that
kind of challenge well I think children of that

131
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:43,660
age can learn to play simple tunes on the piano
and they soon progress to more complicated pieces

132
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:48,790
if they could read music but a rather academic
approach will turn children off for life if

133
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:55,300
they're not ready for it enjoyment has got to be
the priority well enjoyment is certainly important

134
00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:05,420

147
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,590
extract two out of an interview with a rock
climber called Ben so Ben you're well-known

148
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:25,990
in the climbing world as a bit of a loner you
prefer climbing without other people is that

149
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:32,140
true well to some extent I've always talked
to other climbers about the technical side
150
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:37,270
of things training
equipment and things like
that but at the end of the day you've got to

151
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,340
learn independently through trial and error
if you're climbing in a group you'll always

152
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:47,650
compare yourself to others and that doesn't
always help you to improve it's good to admire

153
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:53,590
other climbers but different things work best
for different people so you never climb with

154
00:14:53,590 --> 00:15:00,340
other people as far as possible I climb alone but
occasionally I look to others for support when I

155
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,720
was younger I used to do most of my climbing
during the summer holidays and haven't done

156
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,790
much winter climbing so I still feel out of my
depth climbing alone on rock face is covered

157
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:15,340
in ice when it's dangerous like that you need
people who've been brought up with it it's good

158
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:20,440
to have people around to advise you on what's
a safe maneuver to make in the circumstances

159
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,860
so Ben you're well-known in the climbing world
as a bit of a loner you prefer climbing without

160
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:38,790
other people is that true well to some extent

170
00:16:30,610 --> 00:16:38,380
extract three you hear part of an interview with
a restaurant critic called Amanda downing you're

171
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:43,330
such a household name it must be terrifying for
staff when you go into a restaurant how do they

172
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:49,300
react it's true that a lot of people know me at
least in the restaurant world so I always eat

173
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:55,390
with a friend and they'll make the booking often
though I get recognized and when that happens it's

174
00:16:55,390 --> 00:17:01,510
inevitable I suppose that they take a bit more
care over serving the food and some seem a bit

175
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:07,329
nervous I've never been given a complimentary meal
though or anything like that that would be just

176
00:17:07,329 --> 00:17:13,659
too obvious and of course it could be considered
unethical to accept a gift like that and what

177
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:19,420
makes a good restaurant a good restaurant is one
where the management and waiting staff have given

178
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:24,430
some thoughts why their customers are their most
restaurant owners believe that the main reason

179
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:29,980
people go to restaurants is for the food for
that completely wrong the main reason people go

180
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:35,170
to restaurants is to have a good time not because
they're hungry so there might be a big difference

181
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:41,170
between the priorities of a restaurant and the
priorities of diners for example one thing that

182
00:17:41,170 --> 00:17:46,480
a restaurant gets judged on is the quality of
service what restaurant owners think is good is

183
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,370
service that is efficient but what customers
have as their priority is friendly service

184
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,720
you're such a household name it must be terrifying
for staff when you go into a restaurant how do

185
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,870
they react it's true that a lot of people know me
at least in the restaurant world so I always eat

where the management and waiting staff have given

191
00:18:38,020 --> 00:18:42,670
some thoughts why their customers are their most
restaurant owners believe that the main reason

192
00:18:42,670 --> 00:18:48,580
people go to restaurants is for the food for
that completely wrong the main reason people go

193
00:18:48,580 --> 00:18:53,740
to restaurants is to have a good time not because
they're hungry so there might be a big difference

194
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:59,650
between the priorities of a restaurant and the
priorities of diners for example one thing that

195
00:18:59,650 --> 00:19:05,050
a restaurant gets judged on is the quality of
service what restaurant owners think is good is

196
00:19:05,050 --> 00:19:09,970
service that is efficient but what customers
have as their priority is friendly service
197
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:19,670
unit for recording sex so how on earth did
they manage to get in there's no sign of a

198
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:25,640
forced entry well I suppose they could have got
in through a window up on the fourth floor but no

199
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,900
one would have dared climb up the outside of
the building anybody trying to do that would

200
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,740
have been seen from the street below you don't
think they would have been able to jump from

201
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:39,050
the block across the road do you now is much
too far of course there's always a fire escape

202
00:19:39,050 --> 00:19:43,940
around the back of the building they could have
climbed up there reasonably easily but after that

203
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:49,580
they might have been lowered by rope from the
roof if that was the case people living in the

204
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:55,490
block of flats behind the museum might have seen
something so we need to talk to them right but

205
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,660
we needn't interview everyone in the block just
the people who have windows facing the museum

206
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:05,690
I'll arrange that if it wasn't a window the only
other possibility is that they went in through

207
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:11,930
the front door perhaps they forced the lock but
the door didn't appear to be damaged at all and

208
00:20:11,930 --> 00:20:17,120
the entry code is supposed to be known only by
the security guard so someone else must have
209
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,220
opened the door from the inside only the security
guard was allowed to stay in the museum after it

210
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:27,200
closed do you think they somehow persuaded
him to let them in maybe they just knocked

211
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,100
on the front door and he opened it they surely
wouldn't have done something as stupid as that

212
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:38,540
do you think he might have been expecting them
and that he was part of the gang but then why

213
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,730
would they have attacked him I don't know but
we better find out what we can about that guard

214
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:50,660
as soon as possible now who was it that raised
the alarm it was the head cleaner who went into

215
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:58,220
the building early this morning he must have to
know the entry code too yes maybe he says the

216
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:02,210
front door was unlocked when he got here but
he claims he didn't see anything else unusual

217
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:09,260
until he got at a fourth floor but of course he
might be lying yes he must know that he ought

218
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:13,850
to have called the police as soon as he found
the door open I wonder why he didn't I think

219
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,590
we should talk to him again I suppose he could
be hiding some information from us and he might

220
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:23,600
be prepared to tell us more if we put a bit of
pressure on him the other puzzling thing is how

221
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,270
they took the paintings away apparently they're
very big so the rubbers must have had to bring

222
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:33,950
a van around to the front of the building but the
driver must have been waiting nearby and drove up

223
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:38,330
when they've got the paintings they could have
loaded the paintings up very quickly and might

224
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:43,730
have driven straight to a port or airport anyway
the forensic team should have finished examining

225
00:21:43,730 --> 00:21:47,750
the
building by now once they've done that I
think we should go and look around for ourselves

226
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:58,020
unit 5 recording 7 right perhaps you could tell
me something about how you got interested in

227
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:03,990
environmental science and what experience you have
in the subject well I've always been fascinated by

228
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:10,620
plants and animals and then last year a friend of
mine Mike Proctor invited me to Brazil he's the

229
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:16,470
head of a project there run by a European charity
the charity's aim is to help groups of villagers

230
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:21,690
set up their own schools and medical centers
they also encourage sustainable agriculture

231
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:28,230
and the setting up of businesses to sell local
handicrafts anyway it was during my stay that I

232
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:34,410
really began to understand the impacts of climate
change I want to learn more about this and more

233
00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:39,120
generally how decision-making on environmental
issues in one part of the world can affect the

234
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:45,960
lives of individuals elsewhere you say you began
to understand the impact of climate change could

235
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,360
you give me an example of what you saw in Brazil
that influenced you yes of course we've all heard

236
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,150
about the destruction of the rainforest and I
was able to see examples of that but also people

237
00:22:57,150 --> 00:23:01,860
don't realize that the climate in the region
is changing and that the speed of change is

238
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:07,350
frightening there's been a drought there for a
number of months and river levels are low I had

239
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:12,690
direct experience of this when I travelled with
Mike having responsibility for the whole project

240
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:18,660
in the area means that his job involves travelling
to some pretty remote areas sometimes we had to

241
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:23,730
go by boat to get to some of the villages and we
had to carry the boats because there wasn't enough

242
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:30,960
water in the river and is this change affecting
the lives of local people a huge amount the main

243
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,450
problem has been the effect of the drought on food
supplies the majority of people there are farmers
244
00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:43,380
and all of them have lost animals and crops the
charity's projects has been a success so far in

245
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:49,410
the levels of income from the sale of handicrafts
have increased but of course financial success

246
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:55,650
isn't everything it's hard to imagine a future
without farming in an area like that your trip

247
00:23:55,650 --> 00:24:01,110
to Brazil sounds like an amazing experience and
since you've been back have you done anything

248
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:07,290
to develop your interest in the area yes read a
book about energy conservation and how this might

249
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:12,750
slow down climate change and I was particularly
interested in how the Netherlands has begun to

250
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:18,000
tackle the problem the government has introduced
some really interesting projects on energy saving

251
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,790
in cities the use of low-energy light bulbs to
reduce the consumption of lighting energy better

252
00:24:23,790 --> 00:24:30,750
insulation for homes and things like that there's
also a massive recycling scheme which is saving an

253
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:37,920
enormous amount of waste what's needed now though
is to expand work like this across the world mmm

254
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,220
and what are your plans for the future what do you
want to do after you've left college actually I'd

255
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:49,620
like to go into politics we've got some how to
persuade governments in developed countries to
256
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:56,100
change their priorities for example even if just
a small percentage of the money spent on the arms

257
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:01,680
trade could go into tackling climate change I'm
sure we could make a difference and you think

258
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:08,760
that as a politician you'd be able to do this I'd
certainly like to try before we finish have you

259
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,250
got any questions about the course here at the
college mm-hmm I've noticed that statistics is

260
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:20,160
included in the course I'm a bit concerned about
that I wouldn't worry about it you'd be able

261
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,980
to get by with a reasonable knowledge of maths
oh that's very reassuring I also wanted to ask

262
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:32,580
about the field trip for second-year students
okay second-year students go to Nepal in June

263
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:38,130
looking at the ecology of mountain environments
well that sounds like a fantastic opportunity

264
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:48,330
unit six reporting eight speaker one I took
up running a couple of years ago until then

265
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:53,880
I did a bit of sport at school but I didn't do
much outside school at all in fact I suppose I

266
00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,450
didn't have many interests except playing computer
games then I went to watch my uncle in a 5k Fun

267
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:05,970
Run it was to raise money for charity I thought
the whole event was brilliant and every one of

268
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:11,670
there seemed to be enjoying it there was another
fun run later in the year and I signed up for a

269
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:17,280
laugh I didn't do any proper training for it just
a bit of jogging around the park after school so I

270
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,700
was really surprised when I managed to run all
the way now I run nearly every day and I get a

271
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:28,980
lot of satisfaction out of it my friends all think
I'm crazy none of them like the thought of running

272
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:35,070
long distances I think about all kinds of stuff
when I'm running and I know it's really good for

273
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:41,010
my heart and lungs sure some people get running
injuries but I've been lucky I've had none so far

274
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:48,740
speaker 2 I'd never really thought about
exercising keeping fit until a couple of

275
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:54,680
years ago my boyfriend and I were in town late
and we had to run to catch the last bus home just

276
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,080
a couple of hundred meters by the time we got to
the bus stop both of us were completely exhausted

277
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,900
on the way home we started talking neither of us
did any exercise and I didn't do much with my free

278
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:12,410
time just reading magazines and eating biscuits by
the time we got home we'd each decided to take up

279
00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:17,600
a different activity for six months and see who
could lose the most weight my boyfriend joined

280
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,670
a gym and I started running in the local park
just a few hundred meters at first and gradually

281
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:29,000
building up now I run a few kilometres each day
of course that takes up quite a lot of time and

282
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,760
my boyfriend moans about that sometimes but after
I've been sitting up a computer all day I can't

283
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,880
wait to go out for a run we certainly both got
a lot fitter and I've lost a lot of weight not

284
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,950
all the effects are positive of course I've had a
few problems with sore knees and sprained ankles

285
00:27:45,950 --> 00:27:51,230
I suppose all exercise carries some risks but
there isn't much evidence that running causes

286
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:56,570
major problems if you warm up carefully and have
good footwear it's one of the few sports where no

287
00:27:56,570 --> 00:28:05,830
special equipments needed just a pair of running
shoes speaker3 I had three older brothers and I

288
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:10,300
think they could all have been Olympic athletes
if they'd had the opportunity so it was quite

289
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:15,610
natural that I would go out running with them
I think I started at about the age of ten and

290
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:21,220
I've been running regularly all my life now that
I'm getting older I go out running every couple

291
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:26,320
of days but if the weather's bad I might go
all week without a run I certainly go out a

292
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,480
lot less during the winter well who would
want to go running on a horrible rainy day

293
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:38,140
inevitably you get a few injuries too everyone
gets aching muscles after a long run and I used

294
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:43,960
to get back pain occasionally but surprisingly
I seem to have fewer injuries now than when I

295
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,590
was younger maybe it's because I run more slowly
actually I feel a lot healthier and I even sleep

296
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:56,050
a little better after I've been out running but I
think the best thing for me is the social contact

297
00:28:56,050 --> 00:29:02,590
we've got a running club in our village I moved
here when I retired and before I join the club

298
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:09,340
I had very few friends who live nearby now many
of my closest friends are the runners in the club

299
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:15,880
next
spring were all going to Madrid to run in
a marathon for over-60s only of course we know

300
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,890
that not all of us will finish but you can be sure
that every one of us will have a really good time

301
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:27,760
my aim is to complete the course and do it in
less than six hours but I know it won't be easy

302
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:39,500
unit six recording nine exam practice listening
part two you will hear a woman called Janet Naylor
303
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:46,970
talking about her experience as a volunteer
in Tanzania for questions 1 to 8 complete the

304
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:53,270
sentences with a word or short phrase earlier
this year I fulfilled a lifelong ambition of

305
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:59,210
mine by working for three months as a volunteer
in an African country I'm in my late 50s now and

306
00:29:59,210 --> 00:30:04,850
I don't have the commitments that have previously
held me back like bringing up small children I've

307
00:30:04,850 --> 00:30:09,740
worked in marketing for much of my life and I
wanted to use the skills I have to help out in

308
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:14,990
a small way I applied to do voluntary work a
couple of years ago but it wasn't until about

309
00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:21,530
a year later that a suitable scheme came up and
I was asked to go the reaction of my friends to

310
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:26,930
the news was very interesting the majority of
them told me how impressed they were and a lot

311
00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:31,910
said that given the opportunity they'd like to
do something similar although I must say that

312
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:37,820
some of them were not so keen when I told them
later about how basic the conditions were but

313
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:43,430
a few clearly disapproved of what I was doing
they argued that I was patronizing Africans by

314
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:49,280
intervening and telling them how to run their
lives but I saw it rather differently it's

315
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,930
true that in an ideal world development scheme
should be set up by the communities themselves

316
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:59,840
that they're going to benefit but sometimes local
people don't yet have the necessary skills to make

317
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,360
them effective and need some kind of outside
expert support such as international agencies

318
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,810
and that's where I came in I was an advisor to a
scheme based in a village of about 200 people in

319
00:31:11,810 --> 00:31:17,930
Tanzania it involved building concrete tanks to
capture water during the wet season with the aim

320
00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:23,270
of reducing the problem of drought during the
rest of the year with better irrigation would

321
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:27,920
come more reliable crops so that the villagers
wouldn't be so dependent on international aid

322
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,890
the problems they were getting really serious
there had hardly been any rain in the area for

323
00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:39,680
the previous three or four years the whole region
was on the brink of starvation and handouts from

324
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,390
charities were the only thing that kept people
alive the scheme had been underway for less than

325
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:50,450
a year when I arrived and my brief was to suggest
ways in which the villagers could market any Agri

326
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:54,890
cultural production that was surplus to their
own requirements any food that they didn't need

327
00:31:54,890 --> 00:32:00,140
themselves I've heard now that the village is
making money from its crops by selling them in

328
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:06,110
other parts of Tanzania and even exporting some
produce and it's built a primary school and a

329
00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:11,360
small Health Centre it's very gratifying to know
that the scheme has completely transformed its

330
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,830
prospects and the village is now well on
its way to becoming a thriving community

331
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,480
now listen to part two again

332
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:33,350
unit seven recording ten in the studio today we
have the novelist David Bharath whose most recent

333
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:40,070
book a woman alone was published last week welcome
to the program David thanks for inviting me now

334
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:45,230
David you came relatively late writing didn't
you well I suppose had always been a writer

335
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:50,720
poems short stories and so on but only that close
family had read anything I'd written until I had

336
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,940
my first novel published in my only Fortas and how
did you feel about that oh I felt fantastic having

337
00:32:55,940 --> 00:33:01,160
my first book published at that time you were a
primary school teacher in your native Scotland at

338
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,350
what stage did you leave teaching until my third
novel was published I was happy to teach during

339
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:11,240
the day and write in the evening at at weekends
but I found that there wasn't enough time to do

340
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,420
both as well as I wanted to so I left teaching and
I started writing professionally some of my close

341
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:22,940
friends thought I was mad to give up my job and I
was greatly relieved but my subsequent books sold

342
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:28,250
quite well so no regrets about leaving teaching
oh it was the most difficult decision imaginable

343
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:34,040
I'd worked at the same school for about 15 years
and I felt bad leaving the children and also some

344
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,690
very close colleagues and friends but I still
lived near the school and I go back on every

345
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:44,480
possible occasion tell us something about the
process of your writing how carefully do you

346
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,820
outline the story at the very beginning before I
start writing I always know how a book is going

347
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:55,400
to end although I rarely have a clear idea at the
beginning of how the characters will develop as I

348
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,590
write gradually they grow into real people in
my own mind but sometimes even I'm surprised

349
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:05,750
at how they turn out and what about your daily
work routine I suppose I'm fairly disciplined

350
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:10,820
in my writing I'm generally up at about 7:00 in
the morning and I usually start work by about 8

351
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:16,370
o'clock I work upstairs we've converted our
attic into a study in the early stages of a

352
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:21,620
new book I'll often go to the city library in the
afternoon to do some research you don't use the

353
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:27,350
internet as a rule I prefer finding information
from books and I only turned to the Internet as

354
00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:32,719
a last resort let's go on now to your latest
novel a woman alone I was surprised to find

355
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:39,199
it set in Norway yes I finished my previous book
last January had been feeling really tired and I

356
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:45,419
was aware that I needed rest and the source of
fresh ideas I taught English in Sweden after I

357
00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:51,030
left University and I still speak Swedish quite
well but I hadn't been to Norway before there

358
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:56,130
are a lot of historical links between Norway and
the north of Scotland so I decided to spend some

359
00:34:56,130 --> 00:35:01,710
weeks there some of the geographical setting
is used in a woman alone are based on places

360
00:35:01,710 --> 00:35:06,360
I've visited while I was traveling around and a
woman alone seems to be more personal than many

361
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,010
of your other works I'd already decided that
I wanted to write about a single-parent family
362
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:16,710
as you may know my sister and I were brought up
by my mother on her own the mother in the story

363
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:22,320
Elsa is very protective of her children as was my
own mother but although they have certain common

364
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,590
characteristics Elsa is not really modelled on
my mother Elsa is quite a dominant figure and

365
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:33,810
a woman susceptible to periods of depression
whereas my mother was a rather gentle woman

366
00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:39,390
it all was calm and when you're researching
and writing books do you have time to read

367
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:45,630
other people's novels I do yes one novelist I
greatly admire is William Boyd you write simply

368
00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:50,670
but with great control of language I've just
finished his excellent novel Restless it's a

369
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:55,650
quite remarkable story I'll certainly add that
to my list of books to read and what about your

370
00:35:55,650 --> 00:36:01,170
present writing project what are you working on
now well I don't know if I can tell you yet I'm

371
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:06,150
still sketching out the plot so it's very much
in the early stages and know there'll be a lot

372
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:11,970
of people waiting eagerly to get hold of it David
Barras thank you for talking to us my pleasure

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,260
unit one recording two and our next caller is
Karen Karen what's your experience of public

2
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:13,650
transport yes hello Gary well I commuted to
London for over ten years I caught the train

3
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:19,260
every morning at 7:15 to get to work for 9 o'clock
and I wouldn't get home until about 7 o'clock in

4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,010
the evening and frankly it was a terrible period
of my life really stressful mainly because of the

5
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:31,770
unreliability of the train service I was forever
arriving late for work one day I was travelling

6
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:36,960
home when the train broke down and I eventually
got back at midnight of course I had to go to

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,170
work the next day so off I went for my 7:15 train
I've been waiting over an hour when they announced

8
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:49,080
that the train was cancelled that really was the
end for me I arranged with my employer to work

9
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,730
at home and I've been working at home happily
for the last five years of course it meant a

10
00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:59,250
big salary cuts but I haven't regretted it for a
moment thanks for that Karen can you just stay on

11
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:05,580
the line I'm hoping we've got Liam on the line
Liam you there yes I'm here Gary great and what

12
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:10,410
point do you want to make well I just wanted to
say that my experience is similar to your last

13
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:16,110
caller although I'm a newcomer to commuting by
public transport I've just sold my car and now

14
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:22,410
I go to work by bus I don't a car ever since I
left college but I wanted to do my bit to cut

15
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:28,620
down on pollution but I have to confess that I'm
regretting it already I've arrived late for work

16
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,350
twice this week because the boss hasn't turned off
on time it's got so bad that I'm now thinking of

17
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:40,200
buying a motorbike it'll cause less pollution in
a car and be more reliable and public transport

18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,710
well it sounds like you're another dissatisfied
customer Liam but we've also got Saha on the line

19
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:52,740
and I think she's more positive sahar are you
there I am Gary good afternoon hello Saha what

20
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:57,990
do you want to tell us well I'd like to put in
a good word for train travel I'm working at home

21
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:03,000
when our office block is being renovated and while
I'm appreciating being able to get up later than

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,160
usual I really miss my daily commute you get
to know the people you travel with every day

23
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,910
I remember one day I dropped my purse while I was
getting off the train another person you picked it

24
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:19,340
found my dress in it and brought it round to
my house later that evening another time I'd
25
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,530
been working really hard and went to sleep and
miss my station one of the other passengers was

26
00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:29,690
getting off at the next station and she had her
car parked there she woke me up and offered me

27
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,150
a lift back to my home I'd spoken to her only a
couple of times before then but now she's a really

28
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:40,790
good friend you meet a lot of nice people and
become a part of the traveling community Thanks

29
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:45,980
aha that's a sight of commuting we don't often
hear about now somebody else who sees the good

30
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:51,620
side of train journeys Luka are you there Luka
yes indeed actually I'm phoning from the train

31
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:57,710
on my way home from work and are you having a good
journey yes it's been fine but then I love trains

32
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,290
I've enjoyed travelling by train ever since I was
young I admit that it can be frustrating at times

33
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:09,290
there are delays and cancellations and there
are minor irritations like poor mobile phone

34
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:14,240
reception I've been trying to phone in to your
program for the last half hour in fact but I

35
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,370
catch the 705 at the station near my home every
morning and still find there's something quite

36
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:24,890
magical about stepping onto the train and there
are clear advantages over driving apartment lack
37
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:29,930
of stress I reckon that over the years I've
saved a huge amount of money by using public

38
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:36,560
transport I've never really considered buying a
car you can also get a lot of work done on the

39
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,090
train yesterday morning for example I'd read a
couple of reports and prepared for an important

40
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:46,970
meeting before I even got to work literally I'm
quite lucky the train company I travel with have

41
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:51,770
invested a lot of money recently they've bought
new trains and have really improved the service

42
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:57,770
Garry Karen were you wanting to say something
yes I just wanted to pick up Lucas point that

43
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:03,380
traveling by train is less stressful than driving
public transport can be stressful too when trains

44
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:08,960
don't turn up or are delayed what's less
stressful is working at home at 8 o'clock

45
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,010
I'm usually having a leisurely breakfast where
most people are in their cars or on the train

46
00:04:13,010 --> 00:04:20,149
yesterday I'd finished all my work by 2:30 so I
drove the local pool for a swim and today I've

47
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:24,890
been working hard all day so now I've got time
to relax by listening to the radio for a while

48
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:30,560
much better than stress of commuting you're very
lucky Karen we've got another caller on the line

49
00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:40,030
unit 2 recording 3 you must be really looking
forward to going to America when are you actually

50
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:45,610
leaving I'm flying on the 15th of July I'm
spending a few days sightseeing in New York

51
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:53,050

just start on the 27th of July sounds great and

52
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:58,330

stay with Daniel and Susannah some friends of my

53
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:02,980
parents you're not staying with them the whole
time you're there are you know I'll be looking

54
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:08,650
for my own place but I'm really pleased they'll be
around it'll be good to know I can contact them in

55
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:15,010
case I have any problems they're meeting me at the
airport to mind you I haven't seen them for years

56
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:21,400
they'll have forgotten what I look like and what
about the course it looks really interesting they

57
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,740
sent me a reading list but of course I haven't
got around to opening any of the books yet so

58
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:32,650
it's going to take a long time to catch up I'll
be studying really hard during the semesters so

59
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:38,290
that I don't have to do much work in the vacations
and when does the first semester end the 7th of

60
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:43,870
December then I'm going to San Francisco for a
week I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate

61
00:05:43,870 --> 00:05:48,940
Bridge I'm going to fly up there if it's not too
expensive do you know when you'll be back in Los

62
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:55,420

anytime after that I'm so looking forward to

63
00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,790
it I've always wanted to go to the States I was
going to see my aunt in Seattle a couple of years

64
00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:06,910
ago but I cancelled the trip because she got ill
will you stop over anywhere on the way out maybe

65
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:13,420
New York or Chicago I have really thought about it
but I've only got three weeks so I think I'll fly

66
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:19,360
directly to Los Angeles fine and I'll meet you
at the airport of course by the time you come

67
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,760
I'm sure I'll have got to know Ellie really well
so I'll be able to show you all the sights yes I

68
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,130
suppose you will when I come to see you you'll
have been living in California for nearly six

69
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:36,880
months hard to imagine isn't it after Los Angeles
I thought we could go down to a place called

70
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,700
Huntington Beach if you bring your tent we'll
camp there for a few days the weather will still

71
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:49,690
be quite warm even in the winter isn't it your
birthday around there that's right I'll be 21 on

72
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:55,780
the 2nd of January well that'll be a really good
way to celebrate the best I'll need to get back to

73
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:01,270
Los Angeles for when the second semester starts
but you'll be staying longer won't you that's

74
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:07,150
right I don't have to be back in England until
later well why don't you go to the Grand Canyon

75
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:13,720
it's supposed to be spectacular yeah I might
think
about that anyway as soon as I booked my

76
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,410
tickets I'll let you know it will key we can sort
out the details closer to the time fine look it's

77
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:26,980
nearly 2 o'clock if I don't go now I'm going to be
late for my next lecture I'll text you yeah see ya

78
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:38,160
unit three recording four and now on radio nation
it's 8:30 and here's a summary of the latest news

79
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,850
air passengers could be hit badly today as cabin
crews stay at home in the latest in a series of

80
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:50,640
one-day strikes the major airlines are warning
that up to 100,000 people may experience delays

81
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,360
the managing director of travel air David Wade
had this warning to the union's I'm sure I don't

82
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,650
need to spell out the chaos being caused in the
airline industry as a result of these strikes and

83
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:07,380
I would like to apologize to all our customers
however the cabin staff must accept the new
84
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:12,270
working conditions if the airline is to compete
and the management has no choice but to stand

85
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:18,810
firm on this issue but he didn't have to wait long
for a response a union spokesperson said I can't

86
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:24,060
believe mr. Wade is being so confrontational we
will not be bullied by management eventually the

87
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:30,180
airlines will have to return to the negotiating
table up to 200 teachers and pupils had to be

88
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:35,490
evacuated from Northfield primary school in South
Wales today after a fire broke out in an adjacent

89
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:40,260
building although firefighters were able to
bring the fire under control fairly quickly

90
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:44,880
they couldn't prevent the fire damaging the
school's Sports Center the head teacher said

91
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,900
it might be a number of months before the sports
center is back in operation although the school

92
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:55,020
itself should be able to reopen early next week
the new borland bridge connecting the island to

93
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:00,630
the mainland was officially opened today by the
Transport Minister however it's been an operation

94
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:05,910
for a few weeks already and has received a mixed
reception from Islanders from Borland here's our

95
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:12,810
reporter Anna Curtis yes the new bridge has
stirred up a lot of strong emotion on Borland

96
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:19,590
and I'm here to gather the views of some of the
islands residents excuse me what do you think of

97
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:25,950
the new bridge I think it will be of great benefit
to the island we used to be terribly isolated here

98
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:30,870
because the ferry service was so bad it's only
a short distance but the crossing would take

99
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:36,840
over an hour at least it could be a very rough
journey too many passengers would get seasick

100
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,840
during the crossing excuse me I'm asking people
about the effects of the new bridge they reckon

101
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,840
that tourism on the island is set to expand that's
such a good thing there are already far too many

102
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760
cars and people will also get wealthy people
from the mainland who can afford second homes

103
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,620
that will push up house prices it and Islanders
won't be able to buy properties that can't be

104
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,570
right surely there are to be restrictions on the
number of people moving here it's certainly true

105
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:08,820
that the bridge is going to have a major impact
on the way of life of the people here over the

106
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:16,350
next few years but whether that will be a positive
or a negative effect only time will tell following

107
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:21,000
her report on the high levels of obesity among
children the government's chief health advisor

108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,430
professor Carmen Brady has said that schools have
to play a more active role in encouraging children

109
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:32,190
to take up sports she has also criticized
parents parents needn't be very interested

110
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:37,590
in sport themselves but they should give their
children whatever encouragement they can while

111
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:43,140
we were gathering information for our report we
found that some parents will actually discourage

112
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:48,360
their children from taking up a sport on the basis
that they might get distracted from their academic

113
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,470
studies this negative attitude sport mustn't
be allowed to continue not if we are to get on

114
00:10:55,470 --> 00:11:00,720
top of the obesity crisis facing the country
and finally the weather well if you're in the

115
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,220
south of the country you shouldn't be troubled
by any rain today it will be warm sunny and

116
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:10,650
dry with temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius
however in the north you are likely to see an

117
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:15,990
occasional shower with maximum temperatures
of around 15 degrees Radio nation news

118
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:28,060
unit three recording five exam practice listening
part one you will hear three different extracts

119
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:36,640
for questions one two six choose the answer a B or
C which fits best according to what you hear there

120
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,320
are two questions for each extract extract one
you hear two people on a radio program discussing

121
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,380
music education for children research shows
that the optimum time to start music education

122
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:55,720
is between the ages of three and four as well
as improving manual dexterity and concentration

123
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,060
it seems that it may help emotional development
to and starting young on understanding musical

124
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,130
notation laced down an excellent foundation for
later on the piano is the instrument that many

125
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:10,300
parents want their children to start learning
and I think three years old is the right time to

126
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:16,120
start starting early is vital but less demanding
instruments would be my choice things like the

127
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,120
recorder or a half-size guitar personally I don't
think the piano is the best instrument to start

128
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,340
with so early children have to show the mental
physical and emotional readiness to learn an

129
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:33,910
instrument like the piano which obviously takes a
lot of effort and commitment in my experience very

130
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:39,220
few children under six are able to take on that
kind of challenge well I think children of that
131
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:43,660
age can learn to play simple tunes on the piano
and they soon progress to more complicated pieces

132
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:48,790
if they could read music but a rather academic
approach will turn children off for life if

133
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:55,300
they're not ready for it enjoyment has got to be
the priority well enjoyment is certainly important

134
00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:05,420
research shows that the optimum time to start
music education is between the ages of three

135
00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:10,640
and four as well as improving manual dexterity
and concentration it seems that it may help

136
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,680
emotional development to and starting young
on understanding musical notation laced down

137
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:20,600
an excellent foundation for later on the piano
is the instrument that many parents want their

138
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,310
children to start learning and I think three
years old is the right time to start starting

139
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:30,620
early is vital but less demanding instruments
would be my choice things like the recorder or

140
00:13:30,620 --> 00:13:36,170
a half-size guitar personally I don't think the
piano is the best instrument to start with so

141
00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:41,150
early children have to show the mental physical
and emotional readiness to learn an instrument

142
00:13:41,150 --> 00:13:47,720
like the piano which obviously takes a lot of
effort and commitment in my experience very few
143
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,910
children under six are able to take on that kind
of challenge well I think children of that age

144
00:13:52,910 --> 00:13:57,620
can learn to play simple tunes on the piano when
they soon progressed to more complicated pieces if

145
00:13:57,620 --> 00:14:02,420
they could read music but a rather academic

147
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,590
extract two out of an interview with a rock
climber called Ben so Ben you're well-known

148
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:25,990
in the climbing world as a bit of a loner you
prefer climbing without other people is that

149
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:32,140
true well to some extent I've always talked
to other climbers about the technical side

150
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:37,270
of things training
equipment and things like
that but at the end of the day you've got to

151
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,340
learn independently through trial and error
if you're climbing in a group you'll always

152
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:47,650
compare yourself to others and that doesn't
always help you to improve it's good to admire

153
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:53,590
other climbers but different things work best
for different people so you never climb with

154
00:14:53,590 --> 00:15:00,340
other people as far as possible I climb alone but
occasionally I look to others for support when I

155
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,720
was younger I used to do most of my climbing
during the summer holidays and haven't done

156
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,790
much winter climbing so I still feel out of my
depth climbing alone on rock face is covered

157
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:15,340
in ice when it's dangerous like that you need
people who've been brought up with it it's good

158
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:20,440
to have people around to advise you on what's
a safe maneuver to make in the circumstances

159
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,860
so Ben you're well-known in the climbing world

extract three you hear part of an interview with
a restaurant critic called Amanda downing you're

171
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:43,330
such a household name it must be terrifying for
staff when you go into a restaurant how do they

172
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:49,300
react it's true that a lot of people know me at
least in the restaurant world so I always eat

173
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:55,390
with a friend and they'll make the booking often
though I get recognized and when that happens it's

174
00:16:55,390 --> 00:17:01,510
inevitable I suppose that they take a bit more
care over serving the food and some seem a bit

175
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:07,329
nervous I've never been given a complimentary meal
though or anything like that that would be just

176
00:17:07,329 --> 00:17:13,659
too obvious and of course it could be considered
unethical to accept a gift like that and what

177
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:19,420
makes a good restaurant a good restaurant is one
where the management and waiting staff have given
178
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:24,430
some thoughts why their customers are their most
restaurant owners believe that the main reason

179
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:29,980
people go to restaurants is for the food for
that completely wrong the main reason people go

180
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:35,170
to restaurants is to have a good time not because
they're hungry so there might be a big difference

181
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:41,170
between the priorities of a restaurant and the
priorities of diners for example one thing that

182
00:17:41,170 --> 00:17:46,480
a restaurant gets judged on is the quality of
service what restaurant owners think is good is

183
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,370
service that is efficient but what customers
have as their priority is friendly service

184
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,720
you're such a household name it must be terrifying

197
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:19,670
unit for recording sex so how on earth did
they manage to get in there's no sign of a

198
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:25,640
forced entry well I suppose they could have got
in through a window up on the fourth floor but no

199
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,900
one would have dared climb up the outside of
the building anybody trying to do that would

200
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,740
have been seen from the street below you don't
think they would have been able to jump from

201
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:39,050
the block across the road do you now is much
too far of course there's always a fire escape

202
00:19:39,050 --> 00:19:43,940
around the back of the building they could have
climbed up there reasonably easily but after that

203
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:49,580
they might have been lowered by rope from the
roof if that was the case people living in the

204
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:55,490
block of flats behind the museum might have seen
something so we need to talk to them right but

205
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,660
we needn't interview everyone in the block just
the people who have windows facing the museum

206
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:05,690
I'll arrange that if it wasn't a window the only
other possibility is that they went in through

207
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:11,930
the front door perhaps they forced the lock but
the door didn't appear to be damaged at all and

208
00:20:11,930 --> 00:20:17,120
the entry code is supposed to be known only by
the security guard so someone else must have

209
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,220
opened the door from the inside only the security
guard was allowed to stay in the museum after it

210
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:27,200
closed do you think they somehow persuaded
him to let them in maybe they just knocked

211
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,100
on the front door and he opened it they surely
wouldn't have done something as stupid as that

212
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:38,540
do you think he might have been expecting them
and that he was part of the gang but then why

213
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,730
would they have attacked him I don't know but
we better find out what we can about that guard

214
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:50,660
as soon as possible now who was it that raised
the alarm it was the head cleaner who went into

215
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:58,220
the building early this morning he must have to
know the entry code too yes maybe he says the

216
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:02,210
front door was unlocked when he got here but
he claims he didn't see anything else unusual

217
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:09,260
until he got at a fourth floor but of course he
might be lying yes he must know that he ought

218
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:13,850
to have called the police as soon as he found
the door open I wonder why he didn't I think

219
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,590
we should talk to him again I suppose he could
be hiding some information from us and he might

220
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:23,600
be prepared to tell us more if we put a bit of
pressure on him the other puzzling thing is how

221
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,270
they took the paintings away apparently they're
very big so the rubbers must have had to bring

222
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:33,950
a van around to the front of the building but the
driver must have been waiting nearby and drove up

223
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:38,330
when they've got the paintings they could have
loaded the paintings up very quickly and might

224
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:43,730
have driven straight to a port or airport anyway
the forensic team should have finished examining

225
00:21:43,730 --> 00:21:47,750
the
building by now once they've done that I
think we should go and look around for ourselves

226
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:58,020
unit 5 recording 7 right perhaps you could tell
me something about how you got interested in

227
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:03,990
environmental science and what experience you have
in the subject well I've always been fascinated by

228
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:10,620
plants and animals and then last year a friend of
mine Mike Proctor invited me to Brazil he's the

229
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:16,470
head of a project there run by a European charity
the charity's aim is to help groups of villagers

230
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:21,690
set up their own schools and medical centers
they also encourage sustainable agriculture

231
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:28,230
and the setting up of businesses to sell local
handicrafts anyway it was during my stay that I

232
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:34,410
really began to understand the impacts of climate
change I want to learn more about this and more

233
00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:39,120
generally how decision-making on environmental
issues in one part of the world can affect the

234
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:45,960
lives of individuals elsewhere you say you began
to understand the impact of climate change could

235
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,360
you give me an example of what you saw in Brazil
that influenced you yes of course we've all heard

236
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,150
about the destruction of the rainforest and I
was able to see examples of that but also people
237
00:22:57,150 --> 00:23:01,860
don't realize that the climate in the region
is changing and that the speed of change is

238
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:07,350
frightening there's been a drought there for a
number of months and river levels are low I had

239
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:12,690
direct experience of this when I travelled with
Mike having responsibility for the whole project

240
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:18,660
in the area means that his job involves travelling
to some pretty remote areas sometimes we had to

241
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:23,730
go by boat to get to some of the villages and we
had to carry the boats because there wasn't enough

242
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:30,960
water in the river and is this change affecting
the lives of local people a huge amount the main

243
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,450
problem has been the effect of the drought on food
supplies the majority of people there are farmers

244
00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:43,380
and all of them have lost animals and crops the
charity's projects has been a success so far in

245
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:49,410
the levels of income from the sale of handicrafts
have increased but of course financial success

246
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:55,650
isn't everything it's hard to imagine a future
without farming in an area like that your trip

247
00:23:55,650 --> 00:24:01,110
to Brazil sounds like an amazing experience and
since you've been back have you done anything

248
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:07,290
to develop your interest in the area yes read a
book about energy conservation and how this might

249
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:12,750
slow down climate change and I was particularly
interested in how the Netherlands has begun to

250
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:18,000
tackle the problem the government has introduced
some really interesting projects on energy saving

251
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,790
in cities the use of low-energy light bulbs to
reduce the consumption of lighting energy better

252
00:24:23,790 --> 00:24:30,750
insulation for homes and things like that there's
also a massive recycling scheme which is saving an

253
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:37,920
enormous amount of waste what's needed now though
is to expand work like this across the world mmm

254
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,220
and what are your plans for the future what do you
want to do after you've left college actually I'd

255
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:49,620
like to go into politics we've got some how to
persuade governments in developed countries to

256
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:56,100
change their priorities for example even if just
a small percentage of the money spent on the arms

257
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:01,680
trade could go into tackling climate change I'm
sure we could make a difference and you think

258
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:08,760
that as a politician you'd be able to do this I'd
certainly like to try before we finish have you

259
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,250
got any questions about the course here at the
college mm-hmm I've noticed that statistics is

260
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:20,160
included in the course I'm a bit concerned about
that I wouldn't worry about it you'd be able

261
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,980
to get by with a reasonable knowledge of maths
oh that's very reassuring I also wanted to ask

262
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:32,580
about the field trip for second-year students
okay second-year students go to Nepal in June

263
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:38,130
looking at the ecology of mountain environments
well that sounds like a fantastic opportunity

264
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:48,330
unit six reporting eight speaker one I took
up running a couple of years ago until then

265
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:53,880
I did a bit of sport at school but I didn't do
much outside school at all in fact I suppose I

266
00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,450
didn't have many interests except playing computer
games then I went to watch my uncle in a 5k Fun

267
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:05,970
Run it was to raise money for charity I thought
the whole event was brilliant and every one of

268
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:11,670
there seemed to be enjoying it there was another
fun run later in the year and I signed up for a

269
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:17,280
laugh I didn't do any proper training for it just
a bit of jogging around the park after school so I

270
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,700
was really surprised when I managed to run all
the way now I run nearly every day and I get a

271
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:28,980
lot of satisfaction out of it my friends all think
I'm crazy none of them like the thought of running

272
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:35,070
long distances I think about all kinds of stuff
when I'm running and I know it's really good for

273
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:41,010
my heart and lungs sure some people get running
injuries but I've been lucky I've had none so far

274
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:48,740
speaker 2 I'd never really thought about
exercising keeping fit until a couple of

275
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:54,680
years ago my boyfriend and I were in town late
and we had to run to catch the last bus home just

276
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,080
a couple of hundred meters by the time we got to
the bus stop both of us were completely exhausted

277
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,900
on the way home we started talking neither of us
did any exercise and I didn't do much with my free

278
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:12,410
time just reading magazines and eating biscuits by
the time we got home we'd each decided to take up

279
00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:17,600
a different activity for six months and see who
could lose the most weight my boyfriend joined

280
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,670
a gym and I started running in the local park
just a few hundred meters at first and gradually

281
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:29,000
building up now I run a few kilometres each day
of course that takes up quite a lot of time and

282
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,760
my boyfriend moans about that sometimes but after
I've been sitting up a computer all day I can't

283
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,880
wait to go out for a run we certainly both got
a lot fitter and I've lost a lot of weight not
284
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,950
all the effects are positive of course I've had a
few problems with sore knees and sprained ankles

285
00:27:45,950 --> 00:27:51,230
I suppose all exercise carries some risks but
there isn't much evidence that running causes

286
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:56,570
major problems if you warm up carefully and have
good footwear it's one of the few sports where no

287
00:27:56,570 --> 00:28:05,830
special equipments needed just a pair of running
shoes speaker3 I had three older brothers and I

288
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:10,300
think they could all have been Olympic athletes
if they'd had the opportunity so it was quite

289
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:15,610
natural that I would go out running with them
I think I started at about the age of ten and

290
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:21,220
I've been running regularly all my life now that
I'm getting older I go out running every couple

291
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:26,320
of days but if the weather's bad I might go
all week without a run I certainly go out a

292
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,480
lot less during the winter well who would
want to go running on a horrible rainy day

293
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:38,140
inevitably you get a few injuries too everyone
gets aching muscles after a long run and I used

294
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:43,960
to get back pain occasionally but surprisingly
I seem to have fewer injuries now than when I

295
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,590
was younger maybe it's because I run more slowly
actually I feel a lot healthier and I even sleep
296
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:56,050
a little better after I've been out running but I
think the best thing for me is the social contact

297
00:28:56,050 --> 00:29:02,590
we've got a running club in our village I moved
here when I retired and before I join the club

298
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:09,340
I had very few friends who live nearby now many
of my closest friends are the runners in the club

299
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:15,880
next
spring were all going to Madrid to run in
a marathon for over-60s only of course we know

300
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,890
that not all of us will finish but you can be sure
that every one of us will have a really good time

301
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:27,760
my aim is to complete the course and do it in
less than six hours but I know it won't be easy

302
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:39,500
unit six recording nine exam practice listening
part two you will hear a woman called Janet Naylor

303
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:46,970
talking about her experience as a volunteer
in Tanzania for questions 1 to 8 complete the

304
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:53,270
sentences with a word or short phrase earlier
this year I fulfilled a lifelong ambition of

305
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:59,210
mine by working for three months as a volunteer
in an African country I'm in my late 50s now and

306
00:29:59,210 --> 00:30:04,850
I don't have the commitments that have previously
held me back like bringing up small children I've

307
00:30:04,850 --> 00:30:09,740
worked in marketing for much of my life and I
wanted to use the skills I have to help out in

308
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:14,990
a small way I applied to do voluntary work a
couple of years ago but it wasn't until about

309
00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:21,530
a year later that a suitable scheme came up and
I was asked to go the reaction of my friends to

310
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:26,930
the news was very interesting the majority of
them told me how impressed they were and a lot

311
00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:31,910
said that given the opportunity they'd like to
do something similar although I must say that

312
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:37,820
some of them were not so keen when I told them
later about how basic the conditions were but

313
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:43,430
a few clearly disapproved of what I was doing
they argued that I was patronizing Africans by

314
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:49,280
intervening and telling them how to run their
lives but I saw it rather differently it's

315
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,930
true that in an ideal world development scheme
should be set up by the communities themselves

316
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:59,840
that they're going to benefit but sometimes local
people don't yet have the necessary skills to make

317
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,360
them effective and need some kind of outside
expert support such as international agencies

318
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,810
and that's where I came in I was an advisor to a
scheme based in a village of about 200 people in

319
00:31:11,810 --> 00:31:17,930
Tanzania it involved building concrete tanks to
capture water during the wet season with the aim

320
00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:23,270
of reducing the problem of drought during the
rest of the year with better irrigation would

321
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:27,920
come more reliable crops so that the villagers
wouldn't be so dependent on international aid

322
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,890
the problems they were getting really serious
there had hardly been any rain in the area for

323
00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:39,680
the previous three or four years the whole region
was on the brink of starvation and handouts from

324
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,390
charities were the only thing that kept people
alive the scheme had been underway for less than

325
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:50,450
a year when I arrived and my brief was to suggest
ways in which the villagers could market any Agri

326
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:54,890
cultural production that was surplus to their
own requirements any food that they didn't need

327
00:31:54,890 --> 00:32:00,140
themselves I've heard now that the village is
making money from its crops by selling them in

328
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:06,110
other parts of Tanzania and even exporting some
produce and it's built a primary school and a

329
00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:11,360
small Health Centre it's very gratifying to know
that the scheme has completely transformed its

330
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,830
prospects and the village is now well on
its way to becoming a thriving community
331
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,480
now listen to part two again

332
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:33,350
unit seven recording ten in the studio today we
have the novelist David Bharath whose most recent

333
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:40,070
book a woman alone was published last week welcome
to the program David thanks for inviting me now

334
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:45,230
David you came relatively late writing didn't
you well I suppose had always been a writer

335
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:50,720
poems short stories and so on but only that close
family had read anything I'd written until I had

336
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,940
my first novel published in my only Fortas and how
did you feel about that oh I felt fantastic having

337
00:32:55,940 --> 00:33:01,160
my first book published at that time you were a
primary school teacher in your native Scotland at

338
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,350
what stage did you leave teaching until my third
novel was published I was happy to teach during

339
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:11,240
the day and write in the evening at at weekends
but I found that there wasn't enough time to do

340
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,420
both as well as I wanted to so I left teaching and
I started writing professionally some of my close

341
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:22,940
friends thought I was mad to give up my job and I
was greatly relieved but my subsequent books sold

342
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:28,250
quite well so no regrets about leaving teaching
oh it was the most difficult decision imaginable
343
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:34,040
I'd worked at the same school for about 15 years
and I felt bad leaving the children and also some

344
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,690
very close colleagues and friends but I still
lived near the school and I go back on every

345
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:44,480
possible occasion tell us something about the
process of your writing how carefully do you

346
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,820
outline the story at the very beginning before I
start writing I always know how a book is going

347
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:55,400
to end although I rarely have a clear idea at the
beginning of how the characters will develop as I

348
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,590
write gradually they grow into real people in
my own mind but sometimes even I'm surprised

349
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:05,750
at how they turn out and what about your daily
work routine I suppose I'm fairly disciplined

350
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:10,820
in my writing I'm generally up at about 7:00 in
the morning and I usually start work by about 8

351
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:16,370
o'clock I work upstairs we've converted our
attic into a study in the early stages of a

352
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:21,620
new book I'll often go to the city library in the
afternoon to do some research you don't use the

353
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:27,350
internet as a rule I prefer finding information
from books and I only turned to the Internet as

354
00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:32,719
a last resort let's go on now to your latest
novel a woman alone I was surprised to find
355
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:39,199
it set in Norway yes I finished my previous book
last January had been feeling really tired and I

356
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:45,419
was aware that I needed rest and the source of
fresh ideas I taught English in Sweden after I

357
00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:51,030
left University and I still speak Swedish quite
well but I hadn't been to Norway before there

358
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:56,130
are a lot of historical links between Norway and
the north of Scotland so I decided to spend some

359
00:34:56,130 --> 00:35:01,710
weeks there some of the geographical setting
is used in a woman alone are based on places

360
00:35:01,710 --> 00:35:06,360
I've visited while I was traveling around and a
woman alone seems to be more personal than many

361
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,010
of your other works I'd already decided that
I wanted to write about a single-parent family

362
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:16,710
as you may know my sister and I were brought up
by my mother on her own the mother in the story

363
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:22,320
Elsa is very protective of her children as was my
own mother but although they have certain common

364
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,590
characteristics Elsa is not really modelled on
my mother Elsa is quite a dominant figure and

365
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:33,810
a woman susceptible to periods of depression
whereas my mother was a rather gentle woman

366
00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:39,390
it all was calm and when you're researching
and writing books do you have time to read

367
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:45,630
other people's novels I do yes one novelist I
greatly admire is William Boyd you write simply

368
00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:50,670
but with great control of language I've just
finished his excellent novel Restless it's a

369
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:55,650
quite remarkable story I'll certainly add that
to my list of books to read and what about your

370
00:35:55,650 --> 00:36:01,170
present writing project what are you working on
now well I don't know if I can tell you yet I'm

371
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:06,150
still sketching out the plot so it's very much
in the early stages and know there'll be a lot

372
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:11,970
of people waiting eagerly to get hold of it David
Barras thank you for talking to us my pleasure

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:07,260
unit one recording two and our next caller is
Karen Karen what's your experience of public

2
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:13,650
transport yes hello Gary well I commuted to
London for over ten years I caught the train

3
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:19,260
every morning at 7:15 to get to work for 9 o'clock
and I wouldn't get home until about 7 o'clock in

4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,010
the evening and frankly it was a terrible period
of my life really stressful mainly because of the

5
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:31,770
unreliability of the train service I was forever
arriving late for work one day I was travelling
6
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:36,960
home when the train broke down and I eventually
got back at midnight of course I had to go to

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,170
work the next day so off I went for my 7:15 train
I've been waiting over an hour when they announced

8
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:49,080
that the train was cancelled that really was the
end for me I arranged with my employer to work

9
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,730
at home and I've been working at home happily
for the last five years of course it meant a

10
00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:59,250
big salary cuts but I haven't regretted it for a
moment thanks for that Karen can you just stay on

11
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:05,580
the line I'm hoping we've got Liam on the line
Liam you there yes I'm here Gary great and what

12
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:10,410
point do you want to make well I just wanted to
say that my experience is similar to your last

13
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:16,110
caller although I'm a newcomer to commuting by
public transport I've just sold my car and now

14
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:22,410
I go to work by bus I don't a car ever since I
left college but I wanted to do my bit to cut

15
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:28,620
down on pollution but I have to confess that I'm
regretting it already I've arrived late for work

16
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,350
twice this week because the boss hasn't turned off
on time it's got so bad that I'm now thinking of

17
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:40,200
buying a motorbike it'll cause less pollution in
a car and be more reliable and public transport
18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,710
well it sounds like you're another dissatisfied
customer Liam but we've also got Saha on the line

19
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:52,740
and I think she's more positive sahar are you
there I am Gary good afternoon hello Saha what

20
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:57,990
do you want to tell us well I'd like to put in
a good word for train travel I'm working at home

21
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:03,000
when our office block is being renovated and while
I'm appreciating being able to get up later than

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,160
usual I really miss my daily commute you get
to know the people you travel with every day

23
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,910
I remember one day I dropped my purse while I was
getting off the train another person you picked it

24
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:19,340
found my dress in it and brought it round to
my house later that evening another time I'd

25
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,530
been working really hard and went to sleep and
miss my station one of the other passengers was

26
00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:29,690
getting off at the next station and she had her
car parked there she woke me up and offered me

27
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,150
a lift back to my home I'd spoken to her only a
couple of times before then but now she's a really

28
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:40,790
good friend you meet a lot of nice people and
become a part of the traveling community Thanks

29
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:45,980
aha that's a sight of commuting we don't often
hear about now somebody else who sees the good

30
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:51,620
side of train journeys Luka are you there Luka
yes indeed actually I'm phoning from the train

31
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:57,710
on my way home from work and are you having a good
journey yes it's been fine but then I love trains

32
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,290
I've enjoyed travelling by train ever since I was
young I admit that it can be frustrating at times

33
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:09,290
there are delays and cancellations and there
are minor irritations like poor mobile phone

34
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:14,240
reception I've been trying to phone in to your
program for the last half hour in fact but I

35
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,370
catch the 705 at the station near my home every
morning and still find there's something quite

36
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:24,890
magical about stepping onto the train and there
are clear advantages over driving apartment lack

37
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:29,930
of stress I reckon that over the years I've
saved a huge amount of money by using public

38
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:36,560
transport I've never really considered buying a
car you can also get a lot of work done on the

39
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,090
train yesterday morning for example I'd read a
couple of reports and prepared for an important

40
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:46,970
meeting before I even got to work literally I'm
quite lucky the train company I travel with have

41
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:51,770
invested a lot of money recently they've bought
new trains and have really improved the service

42
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:57,770
Garry Karen were you wanting to say something
yes I just wanted to pick up Lucas point that

43
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:03,380
traveling by train is less stressful than driving
public transport can be stressful too when trains

44
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:08,960
don't turn up or are delayed what's less
stressful is working at home at 8 o'clock

45
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,010
I'm usually having a leisurely breakfast where
most people are in their cars or on the train

46
00:04:13,010 --> 00:04:20,149
yesterday I'd finished all my work by 2:30 so I
drove the local pool for a swim and today I've

47
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:24,890
been working hard all day so now I've got time
to relax by listening to the radio for a while

48
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:30,560
much better than stress of commuting you're very
lucky Karen we've got another caller on the line

49
00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:40,030
unit 2 recording 3 you must be really looking
forward to going to America when are you actually

50
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:45,610
leaving I'm flying on the 15th of July I'm
spending a few days sightseeing in New York

51
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:53,050
and then I arrive in Los Angeles on the 20th let's
just start on the 27th of July sounds great and

52
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:58,330
what about accommodation well first I'm going to
stay with Daniel and Susannah some friends of my

53
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:02,980
parents you're not staying with them the whole
time you're there are you know I'll be looking

54
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:08,650
for my own place but I'm really pleased they'll be
around it'll be good to know I can contact them in

55
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:15,010
case I have any problems they're meeting me at the
airport to mind you I haven't seen them for years

56
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:21,400
they'll have forgotten what I look like and what
about the course it looks really interesting they

57
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,740
sent me a reading list but of course I haven't
got around to opening any of the books yet so

58
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:32,650
it's going to take a long time to catch up I'll
be studying really hard during the semesters so

59
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:38,290
that I don't have to do much work in the vacations
and when does the first semester end the 7th of

60
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:43,870
December then I'm going to San Francisco for a
week I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate

61
00:05:43,870 --> 00:05:48,940
Bridge I'm going to fly up there if it's not too
expensive do you know when you'll be back in Los

62
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:55,420
Angeles probably mid December so you can come
anytime after that I'm so looking forward to

63
00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,790
it I've always wanted to go to the States I was
going to see my aunt in Seattle a couple of years

64
00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:06,910
ago but I cancelled the trip because she got ill
will you stop over anywhere on the way out maybe
65
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:13,420
New York or Chicago I have really thought about it
but I've only got three weeks so I think I'll fly

66
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:19,360
directly to Los Angeles fine and I'll meet you
at the airport of course by the time you come

67
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,760
I'm sure I'll have got to know Ellie really well
so I'll be able to show you all the sights yes I

68
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,130
suppose you will when I come to see you you'll
have been living in California for nearly six

69
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:36,880
months hard to imagine isn't it after Los Angeles
I thought we could go down to a place called

70
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,700
Huntington Beach if you bring your tent we'll
camp there for a few days the weather will still

71
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:49,690
be quite warm even in the winter isn't it your
birthday around there that's right I'll be 21 on

72
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:55,780
the 2nd of January well that'll be a really good
way to celebrate the best I'll need to get back to

73
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:01,270
Los Angeles for when the second semester starts
but you'll be staying longer won't you that's

74
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:07,150
right I don't have to be back in England until
later well why don't you go to the Grand Canyon

75
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:13,720
it's supposed to be spectacular yeah I might
think
about that anyway as soon as I booked my

76
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,410
tickets I'll let you know it will key we can sort
out the details closer to the time fine look it's

77
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:26,980
nearly 2 o'clock if I don't go now I'm going to be
late for my next lecture I'll text you yeah see ya

78
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:38,160
unit three recording four and now on radio nation
it's 8:30 and here's a summary of the latest news

79
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,850
air passengers could be hit badly today as cabin
crews stay at home in the latest in a series of

80
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:50,640
one-day strikes the major airlines are warning
that up to 100,000 people may experience delays

81
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,360
the managing director of travel air David Wade
had this warning to the union's I'm sure I don't

82
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,650
need to spell out the chaos being caused in the
airline industry as a result of these strikes and

83
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:07,380
I would like to apologize to all our customers
however the cabin staff must accept the new

84
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:12,270
working conditions if the airline is to compete
and the management has no choice but to stand

85
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:18,810
firm on this issue but he didn't have to wait long
for a response a union spokesperson said I can't

86
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:24,060
believe mr. Wade is being so confrontational we
will not be bullied by management eventually the

87
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:30,180
airlines will have to return to the negotiating
table up to 200 teachers and pupils had to be

88
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:35,490
evacuated from Northfield primary school in South
Wales today after a fire broke out in an adjacent

89
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:40,260
building although firefighters were able to
bring the fire under control fairly quickly

90
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:44,880
they couldn't prevent the fire damaging the
school's Sports Center the head teacher said

91
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,900
it might be a number of months before the sports
center is back in operation although the school

92
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:55,020
itself should be able to reopen early next week
the new borland bridge connecting the island to

93
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:00,630
the mainland was officially opened today by the
Transport Minister however it's been an operation

94
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:05,910
for a few weeks already and has received a mixed
reception from Islanders from Borland here's our

95
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:12,810
reporter Anna Curtis yes the new bridge has
stirred up a lot of strong emotion on Borland

96
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:19,590
and I'm here to gather the views of some of the
islands residents excuse me what do you think of

97
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:25,950
the new bridge I think it will be of great benefit
to the island we used to be terribly isolated here

98
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:30,870
because the ferry service was so bad it's only
a short distance but the crossing would take

99
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:36,840
over an hour at least it could be a very rough
journey too many passengers would get seasick

100
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,840
during the crossing excuse me I'm asking people
about the effects of the new bridge they reckon

101
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,840
that tourism on the island is set to expand that's
such a good thing there are already far too many

102
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760
cars and people will also get wealthy people
from the mainland who can afford second homes

103
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,620
that will push up house prices it and Islanders
won't be able to buy properties that can't be

104
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,570
right surely there are to be restrictions on the
number of people moving here it's certainly true

105
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:08,820
that the bridge is going to have a major impact
on the way of life of the people here over the

106
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:16,350
next few years but whether that will be a positive
or a negative effect only time will tell following

107
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:21,000
her report on the high levels of obesity among
children the government's chief health advisor

108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,430
professor Carmen Brady has said that schools have
to play a more active role in encouraging children

109
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:32,190
to take up sports she has also criticized
parents parents needn't be very interested

110
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:37,590
in sport themselves but they should give their
children whatever encouragement they can while

111
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:43,140
we were gathering information for our report we
found that some parents will actually discourage
112
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:48,360
their children from taking up a sport on the basis
that they might get distracted from their academic

113
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,470
studies this negative attitude sport mustn't
be allowed to continue not if we are to get on

114
00:10:55,470 --> 00:11:00,720
top of the obesity crisis facing the country
and finally the weather well if you're in the

115
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,220
south of the country you shouldn't be troubled
by any rain today it will be warm sunny and

116
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:10,650
dry with temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius
however in the north you are likely to see an

117
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:15,990
occasional shower with maximum temperatures
of around 15 degrees Radio nation news

118
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:28,060
unit three recording five exam practice listening
part one you will hear three different extracts

119
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:36,640
for questions one two six choose the answer a B or
C which fits best according to what you hear there

120
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,320
are two questions for each extract extract one
you hear two people on a radio program discussing

121
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,380
music education for children research shows
that the optimum time to start music education

122
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:55,720
is between the ages of three and four as well
as improving manual dexterity and concentration

123
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,060
it seems that it may help emotional development
to and starting young on understanding musical
124
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,130
notation laced down an excellent foundation for
later on the piano is the instrument that many

125
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:10,300
parents want their children to start learning
and I think three years old is the right time to

126
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:16,120
start starting early is vital but less demanding
instruments would be my choice things like the

127
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,120
recorder or a half-size guitar personally I don't
think the piano is the best instrument to start

128
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,340
with so early children have to show the mental
physical and emotional readiness to learn an

129
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:33,910
instrument like the piano which obviously takes a
lot of effort and commitment in my experience very

130
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:39,220
few children under six are able to take on that
kind of challenge well I think children of that

131
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:43,660
age can learn to play simple tunes on the piano
and they soon progress to more complicated pieces

132
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:48,790
if they could read music but a rather academic
approach will turn children off for life if

133
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:55,300
they're not ready for it enjoyment has got to be
the priority well enjoyment is certainly important

147
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,590
extract two out of an interview with a rock
climber called Ben so Ben you're well-known

148
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:25,990
in the climbing world as a bit of a loner you
prefer climbing without other people is that

149
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:32,140
true well to some extent I've always talked
to other climbers about the technical side

150
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:37,270
of things training
equipment and things like
that but at the end of the day you've got to

151
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,340
learn independently through trial and error
if you're climbing in a group you'll always

152
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:47,650
compare yourself to others and that doesn't
always help you to improve it's good to admire

153
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:53,590
other climbers but different things work best
for different people so you never climb with

154
00:14:53,590 --> 00:15:00,340
other people as far as possible I climb alone but
occasionally I look to others for support when I

155
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,720
was younger I used to do most of my climbing
during the summer holidays and haven't done

156
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,790
much winter climbing so I still feel out of my
depth climbing alone on rock face is covered

157
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:15,340
in ice when it's dangerous like that you need
people who've been brought up with it it's good

158
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:20,440
to have people around to advise you on what's
a safe maneuver to make in the circumstances
159
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,860
so Ben you're well-known in the climbing world
as a bit of a loner you prefer climbing without

160
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:38,790

extract three you hear part of an interview with
a restaurant critic called Amanda downing you're
171
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:43,330
such a household name it must be terrifying for
staff when you go into a restaurant how do they

172
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:49,300
react it's true that a lot of people know me at
least in the restaurant world so I always eat

173
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:55,390
with a friend and they'll make the booking often
though I get recognized and when that happens it's

174
00:16:55,390 --> 00:17:01,510
inevitable I suppose that they take a bit more
care over serving the food and some seem a bit

175
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:07,329
nervous I've never been given a complimentary meal
though or anything like that that would be just

176
00:17:07,329 --> 00:17:13,659
too obvious and of course it could be considered
unethical to accept a gift like that and what

177
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:19,420
makes a good restaurant a good restaurant is one
where the management and waiting staff have given

178
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:24,430
some thoughts why their customers are their most
restaurant owners believe that the main reason

179
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:29,980
people go to restaurants is for the food for
that completely wrong the main reason people go

180
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:35,170
to restaurants is to have a good time not because
they're hungry so there might be a big difference

181
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:41,170
between the priorities of a restaurant and the
priorities of diners for example one thing that

182
00:17:41,170 --> 00:17:46,480
a restaurant gets judged on is the quality of
service what restaurant owners think is good is

183
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,370
service that is efficient but what customers
have as their priority is friendly service

184
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,720
you're such a household name it must be terrifying

197
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:19,670
unit for recording sex so how on earth did
they manage to get in there's no sign of a

198
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:25,640
forced entry well I suppose they could have got
in through a window up on the fourth floor but no

199
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,900
one would have dared climb up the outside of
the building anybody trying to do that would

200
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,740
have been seen from the street below you don't
think they would have been able to jump from

201
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:39,050
the block across the road do you now is much
too far of course there's always a fire escape

202
00:19:39,050 --> 00:19:43,940
around the back of the building they could have
climbed up there reasonably easily but after that

203
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:49,580
they might have been lowered by rope from the
roof if that was the case people living in the

204
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:55,490
block of flats behind the museum might have seen
something so we need to talk to them right but

205
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,660
we needn't interview everyone in the block just
the people who have windows facing the museum

206
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:05,690
I'll arrange that if it wasn't a window the only
other possibility is that they went in through

207
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:11,930
the front door perhaps they forced the lock but
the door didn't appear to be damaged at all and

208
00:20:11,930 --> 00:20:17,120
the entry code is supposed to be known only by
the security guard so someone else must have

209
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,220
opened the door from the inside only the security
guard was allowed to stay in the museum after it

210
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:27,200
closed do you think they somehow persuaded
him to let them in maybe they just knocked

211
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,100
on the front door and he opened it they surely
wouldn't have done something as stupid as that

212
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:38,540
do you think he might have been expecting them
and that he was part of the gang but then why

213
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,730
would they have attacked him I don't know but
we better find out what we can about that guard

214
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:50,660
as soon as possible now who was it that raised
the alarm it was the head cleaner who went into

215
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:58,220
the building early this morning he must have to
know the entry code too yes maybe he says the

216
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:02,210
front door was unlocked when he got here but
he claims he didn't see anything else unusual

217
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:09,260
until he got at a fourth floor but of course he
might be lying yes he must know that he ought
218
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:13,850
to have called the police as soon as he found
the door open I wonder why he didn't I think

219
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,590
we should talk to him again I suppose he could
be hiding some information from us and he might

220
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:23,600
be prepared to tell us more if we put a bit of
pressure on him the other puzzling thing is how

221
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,270
they took the paintings away apparently they're
very big so the rubbers must have had to bring

222
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:33,950
a van around to the front of the building but the
driver must have been waiting nearby and drove up

223
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:38,330
when they've got the paintings they could have
loaded the paintings up very quickly and might

224
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:43,730
have driven straight to a port or airport anyway
the forensic team should have finished examining

225
00:21:43,730 --> 00:21:47,750
the
building by now once they've done that I
think we should go and look around for ourselves

226
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:58,020
unit 5 recording 7 right perhaps you could tell
me something about how you got interested in

227
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:03,990
environmental science and what experience you have
in the subject well I've always been fascinated by

228
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:10,620
plants and animals and then last year a friend of
mine Mike Proctor invited me to Brazil he's the

229
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:16,470
head of a project there run by a European charity
the charity's aim is to help groups of villagers

230
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:21,690
set up their own schools and medical centers
they also encourage sustainable agriculture

231
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:28,230
and the setting up of businesses to sell local
handicrafts anyway it was during my stay that I

232
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:34,410
really began to understand the impacts of climate
change I want to learn more about this and more

233
00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:39,120
generally how decision-making on environmental
issues in one part of the world can affect the

234
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:45,960
lives of individuals elsewhere you say you began
to understand the impact of climate change could

235
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,360
you give me an example of what you saw in Brazil
that influenced you yes of course we've all heard

236
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,150
about the destruction of the rainforest and I
was able to see examples of that but also people

237
00:22:57,150 --> 00:23:01,860
don't realize that the climate in the region
is changing and that the speed of change is

238
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:07,350
frightening there's been a drought there for a
number of months and river levels are low I had

239
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:12,690
direct experience of this when I travelled with
Mike having responsibility for the whole project

240
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:18,660
in the area means that his job involves travelling
to some pretty remote areas sometimes we had to

241
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:23,730
go by boat to get to some of the villages and we
had to carry the boats because there wasn't enough

242
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:30,960
water in the river and is this change affecting
the lives of local people a huge amount the main

243
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,450
problem has been the effect of the drought on food
supplies the majority of people there are farmers

244
00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:43,380
and all of them have lost animals and crops the
charity's projects has been a success so far in

245
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:49,410
the levels of income from the sale of handicrafts
have increased but of course financial success

246
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:55,650
isn't everything it's hard to imagine a future
without farming in an area like that your trip

247
00:23:55,650 --> 00:24:01,110
to Brazil sounds like an amazing experience and
since you've been back have you done anything

248
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:07,290
to develop your interest in the area yes read a
book about energy conservation and how this might

249
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:12,750
slow down climate change and I was particularly
interested in how the Netherlands has begun to

250
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:18,000
tackle the problem the government has introduced
some really interesting projects on energy saving

251
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,790
in cities the use of low-energy light bulbs to
reduce the consumption of lighting energy better

252
00:24:23,790 --> 00:24:30,750
insulation for homes and things like that there's
also a massive recycling scheme which is saving an

253
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:37,920
enormous amount of waste what's needed now though
is to expand work like this across the world mmm

254
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,220
and what are your plans for the future what do you
want to do after you've left college actually I'd

255
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:49,620
like to go into politics we've got some how to
persuade governments in developed countries to

256
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:56,100
change their priorities for example even if just
a small percentage of the money spent on the arms

257
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:01,680
trade could go into tackling climate change I'm
sure we could make a difference and you think

258
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:08,760
that as a politician you'd be able to do this I'd
certainly like to try before we finish have you

259
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,250
got any questions about the course here at the
college mm-hmm I've noticed that statistics is

260
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:20,160
included in the course I'm a bit concerned about
that I wouldn't worry about it you'd be able

261
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,980
to get by with a reasonable knowledge of maths
oh that's very reassuring I also wanted to ask

262
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:32,580
about the field trip for second-year students
okay second-year students go to Nepal in June

263
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:38,130
looking at the ecology of mountain environments
well that sounds like a fantastic opportunity

264
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:48,330
unit six reporting eight speaker one I took
up running a couple of years ago until then
265
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:53,880
I did a bit of sport at school but I didn't do
much outside school at all in fact I suppose I

266
00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,450
didn't have many interests except playing computer
games then I went to watch my uncle in a 5k Fun

267
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:05,970
Run it was to raise money for charity I thought
the whole event was brilliant and every one of

268
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:11,670
there seemed to be enjoying it there was another
fun run later in the year and I signed up for a

269
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:17,280
laugh I didn't do any proper training for it just
a bit of jogging around the park after school so I

270
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,700
was really surprised when I managed to run all
the way now I run nearly every day and I get a

271
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:28,980
lot of satisfaction out of it my friends all think
I'm crazy none of them like the thought of running

272
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:35,070
long distances I think about all kinds of stuff
when I'm running and I know it's really good for

273
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:41,010
my heart and lungs sure some people get running
injuries but I've been lucky I've had none so far

274
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:48,740
speaker 2 I'd never really thought about
exercising keeping fit until a couple of

275
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:54,680
years ago my boyfriend and I were in town late
and we had to run to catch the last bus home just

276
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,080
a couple of hundred meters by the time we got to
the bus stop both of us were completely exhausted
277
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,900
on the way home we started talking neither of us
did any exercise and I didn't do much with my free

278
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:12,410
time just reading magazines and eating biscuits by
the time we got home we'd each decided to take up

279
00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:17,600
a different activity for six months and see who
could lose the most weight my boyfriend joined

280
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,670
a gym and I started running in the local park
just a few hundred meters at first and gradually

281
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:29,000
building up now I run a few kilometres each day
of course that takes up quite a lot of time and

282
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,760
my boyfriend moans about that sometimes but after
I've been sitting up a computer all day I can't

283
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,880
wait to go out for a run we certainly both got
a lot fitter and I've lost a lot of weight not

284
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,950
all the effects are positive of course I've had a
few problems with sore knees and sprained ankles

285
00:27:45,950 --> 00:27:51,230
I suppose all exercise carries some risks but
there isn't much evidence that running causes

286
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:56,570
major problems if you warm up carefully and have
good footwear it's one of the few sports where no

287
00:27:56,570 --> 00:28:05,830
special equipments needed just a pair of running
shoes speaker3 I had three older brothers and I

288
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:10,300
think they could all have been Olympic athletes
if they'd had the opportunity so it was quite

289
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:15,610
natural that I would go out running with them
I think I started at about the age of ten and

290
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:21,220
I've been running regularly all my life now that
I'm getting older I go out running every couple

291
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:26,320
of days but if the weather's bad I might go
all week without a run I certainly go out a

292
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,480
lot less during the winter well who would
want to go running on a horrible rainy day

293
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:38,140
inevitably you get a few injuries too everyone
gets aching muscles after a long run and I used

294
00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:43,960
to get back pain occasionally but surprisingly
I seem to have fewer injuries now than when I

295
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,590
was younger maybe it's because I run more slowly
actually I feel a lot healthier and I even sleep

296
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:56,050
a little better after I've been out running but I
think the best thing for me is the social contact

297
00:28:56,050 --> 00:29:02,590
we've got a running club in our village I moved
here when I retired and before I join the club

298
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:09,340
I had very few friends who live nearby now many
of my closest friends are the runners in the club

299
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:15,880
next
spring were all going to Madrid to run in
a marathon for over-60s only of course we know

300
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,890
that not all of us will finish but you can be sure
that every one of us will have a really good time

301
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:27,760
my aim is to complete the course and do it in
less than six hours but I know it won't be easy

302
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:39,500
unit six recording nine exam practice listening
part two you will hear a woman called Janet Naylor

303
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:46,970
talking about her experience as a volunteer
in Tanzania for questions 1 to 8 complete the

304
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:53,270
sentences with a word or short phrase earlier
this year I fulfilled a lifelong ambition of

305
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:59,210
mine by working for three months as a volunteer
in an African country I'm in my late 50s now and

306
00:29:59,210 --> 00:30:04,850
I don't have the commitments that have previously
held me back like bringing up small children I've

307
00:30:04,850 --> 00:30:09,740
worked in marketing for much of my life and I
wanted to use the skills I have to help out in

308
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:14,990
a small way I applied to do voluntary work a
couple of years ago but it wasn't until about

309
00:30:14,990 --> 00:30:21,530
a year later that a suitable scheme came up and
I was asked to go the reaction of my friends to

310
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:26,930
the news was very interesting the majority of
them told me how impressed they were and a lot

311
00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:31,910
said that given the opportunity they'd like to
do something similar although I must say that
312
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:37,820
some of them were not so keen when I told them
later about how basic the conditions were but

313
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:43,430
a few clearly disapproved of what I was doing
they argued that I was patronizing Africans by

314
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:49,280
intervening and telling them how to run their
lives but I saw it rather differently it's

315
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,930
true that in an ideal world development scheme
should be set up by the communities themselves

316
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:59,840
that they're going to benefit but sometimes local
people don't yet have the necessary skills to make

317
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,360
them effective and need some kind of outside
expert support such as international agencies

318
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,810
and that's where I came in I was an advisor to a
scheme based in a village of about 200 people in

319
00:31:11,810 --> 00:31:17,930
Tanzania it involved building concrete tanks to
capture water during the wet season with the aim

320
00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:23,270
of reducing the problem of drought during the
rest of the year with better irrigation would

321
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:27,920
come more reliable crops so that the villagers
wouldn't be so dependent on international aid

322
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,890
the problems they were getting really serious
there had hardly been any rain in the area for

323
00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:39,680
the previous three or four years the whole region
was on the brink of starvation and handouts from
324
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,390
charities were the only thing that kept people
alive the scheme had been underway for less than

325
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:50,450
a year when I arrived and my brief was to suggest
ways in which the villagers could market any Agri

326
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:54,890
cultural production that was surplus to their
own requirements any food that they didn't need

327
00:31:54,890 --> 00:32:00,140
themselves I've heard now that the village is
making money from its crops by selling them in

328
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:06,110
other parts of Tanzania and even exporting some
produce and it's built a primary school and a

329
00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:11,360
small Health Centre it's very gratifying to know
that the scheme has completely transformed its

330
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,830
prospects and the village is now well on
its way to becoming a thriving community

331
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,480
now listen to part two again

332
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:33,350
unit seven recording ten in the studio today we
have the novelist David Bharath whose most recent

333
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:40,070
book a woman alone was published last week welcome
to the program David thanks for inviting me now

334
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:45,230
David you came relatively late writing didn't
you well I suppose had always been a writer

335
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:50,720
poems short stories and so on but only that close
family had read anything I'd written until I had
336
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,940
my first novel published in my only Fortas and how
did you feel about that oh I felt fantastic having

337
00:32:55,940 --> 00:33:01,160
my first book published at that time you were a
primary school teacher in your native Scotland at

338
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,350
what stage did you leave teaching until my third
novel was published I was happy to teach during

339
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:11,240
the day and write in the evening at at weekends
but I found that there wasn't enough time to do

340
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,420
both as well as I wanted to so I left teaching and
I started writing professionally some of my close

341
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:22,940
friends thought I was mad to give up my job and I
was greatly relieved but my subsequent books sold

342
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:28,250
quite well so no regrets about leaving teaching
oh it was the most difficult decision imaginable

343
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:34,040
I'd worked at the same school for about 15 years
and I felt bad leaving the children and also some

344
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,690
very close colleagues and friends but I still
lived near the school and I go back on every

345
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:44,480
possible occasion tell us something about the
process of your writing how carefully do you

346
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,820
outline the story at the very beginning before I
start writing I always know how a book is going

347
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:55,400
to end although I rarely have a clear idea at the
beginning of how the characters will develop as I

348
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,590
write gradually they grow into real people in
my own mind but sometimes even I'm surprised

349
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:05,750
at how they turn out and what about your daily
work routine I suppose I'm fairly disciplined

350
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:10,820
in my writing I'm generally up at about 7:00 in
the morning and I usually start work by about 8

351
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:16,370
o'clock I work upstairs we've converted our
attic into a study in the early stages of a

352
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:21,620
new book I'll often go to the city library in the
afternoon to do some research you don't use the

353
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:27,350
internet as a rule I prefer finding information
from books and I only turned to the Internet as

354
00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:32,719
a last resort let's go on now to your latest
novel a woman alone I was surprised to find

355
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:39,199
it set in Norway yes I finished my previous book
last January had been feeling really tired and I

356
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:45,419
was aware that I needed rest and the source of
fresh ideas I taught English in Sweden after I

357
00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:51,030
left University and I still speak Swedish quite
well but I hadn't been to Norway before there

358
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:56,130
are a lot of historical links between Norway and
the north of Scotland so I decided to spend some

359
00:34:56,130 --> 00:35:01,710
weeks there some of the geographical setting
is used in a woman alone are based on places

360
00:35:01,710 --> 00:35:06,360
I've visited while I was traveling around and a
woman alone seems to be more personal than many

361
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,010
of your other works I'd already decided that
I wanted to write about a single-parent family

362
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:16,710
as you may know my sister and I were brought up
by my mother on her own the mother in the story

363
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:22,320
Elsa is very protective of her children as was my
own mother but although they have certain common

364
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,590
characteristics Elsa is not really modelled on
my mother Elsa is quite a dominant figure and

365
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:33,810
a woman susceptible to periods of depression
whereas my mother was a rather gentle woman

366
00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:39,390
it all was calm and when you're researching
and writing books do you have time to read

367
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:45,630
other people's novels I do yes one novelist I
greatly admire is William Boyd you write simply

368
00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:50,670
but with great control of language I've just
finished his excellent novel Restless it's a

369
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:55,650
quite remarkable story I'll certainly add that
to my list of books to read and what about your

370
00:35:55,650 --> 00:36:01,170
present writing project what are you working on
now well I don't know if I can tell you yet I'm

371
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:06,150
still sketching out the plot so it's very much
in the early stages and know there'll be a lot

372
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:11,970
of people waiting eagerly to get hold of it David
