Question 3

Partially correct

Mark 1.80 out of 4.00

Listen and complete the dialogue.

Presenter: Today in the studio we have Dave Bridges. Dave has organised a competition to find the best young inventor  in the

country. So Dave, can you tell us a bit more about the competition  ?

Dave: Yes, sure. My friend and I decided to have the competition because we know that young people are great at thinking of
amazing  ideas for inventions. I’ve seen some fantastic ideas from people as young as eight years old. We’ve decided to allow

young people aged fourteen to nineteen to enter this year’s competition. But next year we’re going to allow  eightto thirteen-
year-olds to enter too.

Presenter: That’s great. So what are you looking for?

Dave: Ideas, really. Maybe you use a product  every day, but you think it could be improved or changed in some way. Or

perhaps you’ve got an idea for something really new – a totally new product. It could be something very simple, like a plastic 

cover to protect a bike seat from the rain. Or it could be something much more difficult to make, like a solar-powered gadget great

 .

Presenter: Great. So how can people enter  the competition?

Dave: They need to send us a description of their invention – whether it’s completely new or an improvement on an old design  .
We want to know what it is, how they thought of the idea and why they think people would want to use it. They also need to provide a very
good drawing  of the invention.

Presenter: So they don’t need to actually make the invention?

Dave: They can if they want to. If it’s a  idea, then why not build it? But if you’ve designed something difficult to make, then

it’s best to just  a plan.

Presenter: Great. So what happens when people send their designs to you?

Dave: The designs will be judged by a team of five  inventors. There are some really famous inventors taking part. Each adult

inventor will choose the idea that he or she likes best. They will then work on the design with the young inventor.  will film
them while they are working too. There will be a special documentary on Channel Ten about making the inventions.

Presenter: Right. And what will happen after that?

Dave Well, then the final inventions will be made into products. And we hope that they will become  , sell and make a lot
of money!

Presenter: So tell me, Dave. What do you think is the best invention from the last twenty years?

Dave: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. Lots of people say it’s the 3D  , because it allows you to print any object. But I’m
more interested in inventions that help people around the world. I think Trevor Bayliss’s radio is amazing because it doesn’t use electricity or

 . Poor people in very remote places in Africa are using it right now.

Presenter: Great! So have you got any more  for young people before they enter this competition?

Dave Yes. You need to think of a product that lots of people will want to  . If you can do that, it’ll be a great

 !
Presenter: Thanks very much, Dave. It’s been great to talk to you.
