Script:

 You will hear a woman calling an animal park to enquire about a job.

 

Man: Pinder’s Animal Park. Hello?
Woman: Oh, hello, I’m ringing to ask whether you have any jobs available...
Man: Ah, what sort of work are you looking for? Is that permanent, or part time or ...
Woman: Actually I’m just looking for temporary work. I’m a student.
Man: Oh right. I’ll just get a form, and ask you a few questions. Then I’ll pass your application on         to our recruitment section. Is that OK? Then I’ll pass your application on to our recruitment section. Is that OK?
Woman: Fine, thank you.
Man: So, starting with your name ...
Woman: It’s Jane Lamerton
Man: Is that L-A-double M-E-R-T-O-N?
Woman: There’s only one M in it.
Man: Oh, right. And your address?
Woman: It’s forty-two West Lane.
Man: Right ... And is that in Exeter?
Woman: Yes.
Man: OK. And can you give me your mobile phone number?
Woman: oh double seven nine two, four three oh nine two one.
Man: Right. Now, the next thing is, when are you available to start work?
Woman: I finish college on the eighth of June, that’s in three weeks’ time, but I can’t start work till the eleventh because I’ve got a hospital appointment on the tenth of June.
Man: No problem. Now I need to ask you a few questions about the type of job that might be suitable. Do you have any particular kind of work in mind? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get work in the field that you want, but I can record your preferences.
Woman: Well I’d do anything, and I have worked as an assistant animal keeper before, when I was still at school. But I’m studying at a catering college now, and I’d really like to get some experience as an assistant cook if possible.
Man: Right. So that’s your first choice. Have you done that kind of job before?
Woman: No. But I’ve helped my aunt sometimes - she runs a café in Exeter.
Man: Mmm. Would you say you’ve got any relevant skills then?
Woman: Well I’m used to using the kind of equipment you usually find in a kitchen.
Man:  OK... And I know you’re still studying, but do you already have any qualifications related to that kind of work? A hygiene qualification, for example?
Woman: I haven’t, no, but I’ve got a certificate in food-handling. I did it before I decided to become a full-time student.
Man:  Fine. OK. That means you wouldn’t need any specific training if you did get the kind of work you wanted. But you’d have to do a short course on First Aid. All our new employees do that. It just takes half a day, and most people find it generally useful.
Woman: Oh yes, I’m sure it is.
Man:  Well that’s about it, really. Just one last thing - can you give me the name of someone who would give you a reference? Like a previous employer or...
Woman: Oh yes, you can put Dr Ruth Price.
Man:  OK. Is that one of your college lecturers?
Woman: She’s my college tutor. She’s known me for over two years, and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. In fact she’s given me a reference before.
Man:  Fine. We’d probably contact her by phone - do you happen to know her number?
Woman: I’ve got it on my phone - yes - it’s oh two oh eight, six eight five, double one four. That’s a landline.
Man:  Good. Well. As I say, I can’t promise anything, but I’ll pass your application on and you
should hear in a few days. Is there anything else?
Woman: Just one thing - I suffer from a particular type of colour blindness, and sometimes employers have to make special arrangements for that.
Man:  OK. I’ll make a note of that. It won’t be a problem, but it’s good that you’ve made us aware of it. You can provide us with more details if you are offered a job.
Woman: OK. Thanks very much. Bye.

Script:

 You will hear a podcast on Camber’s Theme Park.

 

Welcome to Camber’s Park podcast. In the next few minutes, I’ll tell you a little about the park and the amazing things we have to offer.
We like to think that Camber’s offers more than other theme parks. Like them, we have a variety of exciting rides for people of all ages, but Camber’s also places strong emphasis on the educational experience for its visitors ... not boring facts but lots of interactive exhibits. Although it’s mainly an outdoor experience, we do have some indoor activities if the weather gets too dreadful.
The park’s got a lovely well established feel, set in eighty acres of beautiful countryside about three miles south of the tourist resort of Dulchester. The park was set up in nineteen ninety seven by the Camber family but then taken over by new owners in two thousand and four, who have maintained the original vision of the Cambers. It has lots of old trees, hundreds of flower beds and a gorgeous lake.
Camber’s has over forty- five different rides, exhibits and arcades. All but one of these is free once you have paid your entrance fee (we charge a small fee for our newest ride, to reduce the length of the queues). You don’t pay anything for parking. A family ticket - for a family of four - works out at about eight pounds per person, which is amazing value. Full details of current prices are shown on our website, along with full details of rides, etc., and directions for getting to us.
We also have a number of special offers. For example, if you live locally, why not join our Adventurers’ Club, which entitles you fifty percent off ticket prices all year round, and a special ‘lane’ for all rides and exhibits which means you don’t have to wait to get into any part of the park. See the Offers tab on the website.
We’ve recently added a number of new exhibits to the park, and we’re particularly proud of our Future Farm Zone, which houses over twenty different species of animals, from chipmunks to dairy cows. The emphasis is on getting near to the animals - all of them can be petted and you can buy food for feeding the animals. Many of our younger visitors say that this is the high point of their visit!
And speaking of food, don’t let the animals have all the fun. We have a total of seven different catering outlets on the site. We’re open ten to five thirty all year round and cold drinks and snacks can be bought at any time during opening hours. And hot food is available most of the day in the Hungry Horse café - from eleven until five - just half an hour before closing time.

 Now we want all our visitors to have an exciting time when they come to the park but our first priority must be safety. Parents and guardians know their children’s behaviour and capabilities. But here at the park we have set certain conditions for each of the rides to ensure that all visitors get the maximum enjoyment out of the experience and feel secure at all times. There are four major rides at the park. Our newest ride is the River Adventure which is designed to reproduce the experience of white-water rafting. No amount of protective clothing would make any difference so only go on this ride if you’re prepared to get wet! Children under eight can go on this ride, but all under sixteens must have an adult with them.

Not all of our rides are designed for thrills and spills. Our Jungle Jim rollercoaster is a gentler version of the classic loop the loop, specially created for whole family enjoyment - from the smallest children to elderly grandparents, suitable for all levels of disability and health conditions. Carriages have comfortable seating for up to eight people, with safety belts for each passenger which must be worn at all times. Sit back and enjoy the scenery!

One of the best established and most popular of Camber’s rides is the massive Swoop Slide. Whizz down the polished vertical slide nine metres in height and scream to your heart’s content. There are no age or height restrictions. Be careful though - you must have on long trousers so you won’t get any speed burns!
And then there’s the famous Zip Go-kart stadium with sixteen carts: eight for single drivers and eight for kids preferring to ride along with mum, dad or carer. Take part in high-speed races in our specially designed Formula One-style karts - but no bumping other karts, please. All riders must be above one point two metres because they have to be able to reach the pedals ... even in the shared karts.
Full details of all safety features are available on our website at www.Camberspark.com.
So come and make a day of it at Camber’s Theme Park!

Script:

 JULIA So you were both on last year’s Orientation Course, then. How did it go?

LIZ I loved it. The activities were well organized, and I met people from all over the world.

MARK Yes, it was useful.
JULIA And you think I should sign up for this year’s course?
LIZ Yes, definitely. Apart from being fun, it really does prepare you for all the things you have to do in your first couple of weeks. In fact, one of the most useful things was chatting to people who’d already been there for a year, so-called senior students. They’d been on the Orientation Course the year before last, and recommended it to us. Oh, and there was a great atmosphere at the formal dinner, too. It was so colourful, with people in their traditional dress from Asia, Africa, South America. It was one of the high points of the whole week.
MARK That was right at the end, of course. The first thing they did, on the Monday, was take us on a guided tour of the Students Union.
LIZ And after that they took us round the city centre, showing us things like the bus station, the main shops ...
MARK And the best pubs ...
LIZ Right. So it was very worthwhile.
MARK Yes, though maybe they could have taken us to a better night club. The music at the place we went to was lousy.
LIZ That's a matter of taste, surely! Well anyway the next day they showed us round everything on the campus.
MARK And believe me it was everything. We must have walked miles. I could have done with less information on every building in sight, given that I’ll probably never need to go into half of them, and a bit more on places everyone’s likely to use at some time or other. Like the sports block, the health centre, the bicycle and car parks ...
LIZ Which reminds me, there was an afternoon session on how to drive in this country, which seemed to me a bit weird - you know, for a university course.
MARK I suppose it’s because there’ve been accidents involving students who aren’t used to people driving on the left. I was there actually.
LIZ How was it?
MARK Well, I must say I was a bit disappointed. There were some useful driving tips, but it might have been more helpful if it had included stuff for pedestrians. How to avoid getting run over, for example.
LIZ You didn’t go to the session on ‘safety’, then?
MARK No,
LIZ Well apparently that dealt with road safety for pedestrians, along with lots of other aspects of course. I wasn’t there myself, but that might be something worth going to, Julia.

 Choose THREE answer choices for each question.

1. What Liz liked about the Orientation Course for international students.
A. tour of the city
B. meeting with ‘senior' students
C. visit to a night club
D. driving in this country
E. formal dinner party
F. tour of the university campus
Explain:
2. What Mark thinks could be improved in the Orientation Course for international students.
A. meeting with ‘senior' students
B. driving in this country
C. tour of the city
D. tour of the university campus
E. visit to a night club
F. formal dinner party
Explain:

Script:

 JULIA I like the sound of the whole thing. Tell me what’s the accommodation like? Do you have a room to yourself or do you have to share?  What do you have to take with you?

LIZ For the orientation course, you’ll have ail individual room in one of the hall of residence. That’ll be a different hall from the one you're booked into for the year, but they’re both on the campus so you won’t have far to go.

MARK And you won’t have to take too much with you. The room will have chairs, table, wardrobe, bed, mattress, blankets, sheets and so on.
LIZ Take a warm coat or jacket, though, it may well rain and it’s unlikely to reach even twenty degrees in late September.
MARK But it shouldn’t drop below about ten. at least during the day. Which is something, I suppose!
JULIA Right. Now I know they can't do much about the weather, but did you have the feeling that they were looking after you on the course?
LIZ Yes, we did. There were some little touches that showed they’d thought about what it was like lo he starting a course of study abroad.
JULIA Such as?
LIZ Well it’s just a small example, but they gave us free email access to contact people at home. Thirty minutes, if I remember correctly.
MARK Actually I think it was twenty.
LIZ Yes, you’re right. I was on for over half an hour and paid for an extra ten or fifteen minutes. Not that it was much!
JULIA Emails don’t take long to write anyway
LIZ No, they don’t.
JULIA So, just one more thing: the timetable. When does the course actually start and finish?
MARK Well a lot of people get there on the Sunday, though you’d have to find a room for an extra night I as the course accommodation is only booked from the Monday, when things get going.
LIZ Then they’ll keep you busy all week, until the dinner on the Friday.
JULIA And that’s it, is it?
LIZ Yes, there’s nothing after that.
MARK Though most people stay over till Saturday, partly to recover from the party but also because they can then move straight into their permanent rooms.
JULIA I think I’ll do that. Well, thanks a lot for all your advice. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the course.
LIZ I wish I could go on this year’s, too!

Script:

You will hear a talk of the work on  printed department at the university.  
 
I am here to give you a brief outline of the work of this new department. The Department of the Printed Word has a very short history, having been created just ten years ago. Some statistics to start with. The first intake of undergraduate students consisted of 20 students, which rose to 37 in the second year and we now have about 50 in the first year, doing a wide range of courses, full and part-time. We have a thriving research department with 17 students on the taught MA course and 7 students doing research full-time. In all we have 9 full-time lecturers and 16 part-time lecturers who work mainly but not exclusively in our evening department. Of the total student body, approximately 21 percent are from outside the country, a number which has been increasing steadily over recent years.
Although students from overseas have to reach a minimum level of competence in English before they follow a course at the university, some may require remedial help with their English and we can offer help through the Student Support Services as part of the general assistance given to all students. For home students, both graduate and undergraduate, there are bursaries to help with travel and accommodation, for which I would advise you to contact Mrs. Riley at the end of this session.
Increasingly, we are forging external links with organizations in the publishing world. And we have been very fortunate in that we have received money to sponsor not just various students within the department but also technicians and lecturers. Each year we hold a series of lectures, which are given by external speakers in the world of printing and the media. The series of workshops that you see around you have been built thanks to a very generous donation which has allowed us to develop our facilities for book binding and restoration.
 
Now the main work of the department relates to teaching the mechanism of printing and as most printing is now so highly technological, all our students have to be computer-literate. For those of you who are interested in taking a module in this department from another department and who feel that you may not have the necessary computer skills, don't let the technology put you off. We have a number of specialist technicians who can support and deliver crash programmes in the computing technology required. As long as you can switch on the computer you are half way there.
We have what can only be called state-of-the-art facilities especially for those wishing to move into the publishing world working not just as printers, but also in editing, page design, layout and book-binding. With the extensive facilities we have for book restoration, some of our former students are now employed as expert book restorers and conservationists, skills which were once almost dying out. In the display you will notice samples of work on book cover design, and as well as having all the necessary computer programmes for dealing with printing we have some old printing presses.
Despite being largely a modern department, we do have an increasing interest in research into the history of the printed word, ranging from early European to Chinese and Japanese printing techniques. We have in fact some very well- known experts on early printing in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. If this area appeals to you, you can talk to Dr. Fred Clare afterwards. From China we are lucky to have as a visiting lecturer Dr. Yu, who is an authority on early Chinese manuscripts and printing machines. If you are thinking about doing a module with us or you are interested in doing research after you have finished your first degree, the person to talk to is Professor Clarkson who will be able to give you all the details. For postgraduate research, you should really be thinking about applying now even though we are only in December, as the department now attracts large numbers of people and we always have many applications for each research position.
