You are going to read a magazine article about friendship. Seven sentences have been removed from the article.
Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence which you do not need
to use.
A They spent all their weekends together, and
several evenings a week too.
В There is much less time each day and each week
to ’feed* the friendship, to prevent it from dying.
C For one production, she and another woman
called Carol had to work very closely together on
the script.
D It’s actually very difficult to sustain this number
of friends into adulthood.
E Because of this, Гт now much more careful
about the friends I choose.
F They enjoy each other’s company while they’re
working together, but they don’t really socialise
outside of the working environment.
G Real friends are actually incredibly hard to find.
H For this way of viewing friendship to be
successful, it requires both people in the
relationship to feel the same way about the
other person.
A friend in need ...
h's fairly easy to define what a relative is. It's a
person you're biologically related to, or who
has married someone you are biologically
related to. or has been adopted, for example,
by someone you're biologically related to. In
short, it’s someone in your family. It's not quite
so easy to define what a friend is.
On an obvious level, our friends are people who are
not family members whose company we enjoy.
However, what about two people who work closely
together in an office? |’ I Are they friends, or
just colleagues? And consider two people who were
best friends at school, but haven't been in contact
with each other for over twenty years. Are they still
friends? Or should we say they used to be friends
but aren’t any more?
'So what?1, you might say. 'Perhaps friendship is
tricky to define, but that doesn’t matter. If you think
you're friends with someone then you are. but if you
don’t then you're not.' In many cases, that might be
a good general rule, but there are potential
problems with it. | 2 There are countless
examples of relationships where that doesn't
happen.
Take Jane, for example. She joined an amateur
dramatics club, which puts on plays two or three
times a year. | 3 | They met several times a
week, and frequently called each other on the
phone. As Jane says: ‘I enjoyed workng with Carol,
and we got on well together. It was really difficult
when we’d finished the play, though. Carol still
wanted to meet up and chat regularly. I didn’t,
mainly because I just didn't have time. fve got a
family and a busy social life, and I wasn't looking for
any more close friends. How do you tell someone
who thinks they're your close friend that realty
they’re not?
A further problem is the issue of lair-weather
friends’. These are people who you consider to be
your friends, but prove themselves not to be when
things get tough. Jake, for example, thought that
Dave was a really close fnend.	They both
shared an interest in movies, and had the same
sense of humour. *Everythmg was great,’ says Jake,
‘until my mother became ill. It was a troubling time
for me. and I got a bit depressed. I needed Dave to
give me some support, but he wasn’t interested. He
just disappeared.’ What Jake needed, and what
Dave was not, was the kind of friend referred to in
the saying ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed*. The
idea behind this is that if you are still the friend of
someone when they are In need’, when they need
something such as help from you. then you are a
real friend. You're not a ‘fair-weather friend'.
| 5 |	| Most adults say that they only have two
or three real friends - people they can totally rely on
in difficult times.
At school, children and teenagers often have one or
two best friends’, but they also have a wide circle
of other friends - twenty or thirty is not uncommon.
6 j j The таю reasons for this are time and
shared eicpenence. Children see their friends every
day (during term time) and have plenty of
opportunity to ‘feed’ the friendship - in class, during
the breaks, after school. Also, of course, all the
members of the group live close together, and have
a shared interest (the school and what happens
there). With adults, this is rarely possible. [ 7 ]
And, of course, people move apart geographically
when they grow up, and lose the sense of a shared
interest when they start working in different fields,
or spending their time in different ways. Very few of
our fnends from school remain real, close friends
twenty years later.

SOCIAL
One of the online success stories of recent years is
the spectacular spread of social networking sites.
These sites, including MySpace and Facebook, allow
you to connect to your existing friends and to make
new ones. What exactly is the attraction of them, and
is there anything to worry about in the popularity of
this phenomenon?
The idea of these sites is quite simple, and the ease
of use is one of things that attracts people to them.
The way they work is this. You set up your own page
and add information about yourself. [ i ;
Some people like to add links to other things that say
something about them, such as music videos they
like. This page, then, is your profile, the page other
people on the site see that represents you.
Once you've created this online presence. It’s time to
search for friends. Each of these websites keeps a
large database of people who have joined. Using
your friends’ names or email addresses, it’s possible
to search this database to find people you know. You
can then add them to the list of friends on your
profile page. To protect their privacy, you may have to
be approved before their details show up. | 2 ]
This balance between what is public and what isn't is
very important to the members and some of the sites
have received complaints when they have tried to use
members’ information in ways they haven’t given
permission for.
Once you’ve found all the people you know, then
there are various ways in which you can use these
sites. It’s a good way to keep in touch with friends
you don’t see every day, perhaps because they live in
another city or country. Г 3 '| Apart from that,
you can also find people you don’t already know who
share the same interests as you or like the same
things as you. Then, you can send a friend request to
them and watch as your online social life grows.
It sounds simple and harmless enough. However,
some people have raised concerns about these sites.
First of all, some question what it is doing to young
people’s social lives. [ 4	) Friendship can be
much more than simply sharing likes and dislikes and
swapping links to music websites. People whose only
social life is through sites like these may be missing
out on real interaction with real people.
Other critics point out that these websites can
possibly be abused for cyber*bullying (bullying on the
internet). Whereas in real life your popularity (or lack
of it) might not always be so obvious, on social
networking sites it is reduced to a number: the
number of friends you have. [ S |	] It might
seem like harmless fun at the time, but this kind of
thing makes many teenagers’ Ilves miserable.
Another problem that has been highlighted is that
these websites waste a lot of time. | 6 [	] When
employees spend up to two hours a day updating
their profile and searching for friends rather than
getting their work done, companies suffer. In fact,
many firms have introduced rules banning their
workers from using Facebook and MySpace during
office hours.
As with most things online, it seems that users need
to be sensible about how they use these websites.
It’s a good idea to be careful about who you allow to
become your friend. Г 7 You might also
consider limiting how much time you spend on social
networking sites. A good guide might be that If your
parents or boss tell you that you’re spending too
much time on these sites, then you probably are!

THE HOMEY
Five teenagers tell us how they’re
already earning their own money.
A Hannah Ferguson
The original idea was to set up a website so that
other girls my age could order make-up cheaply. You
see. I realised that if I bought lots of make-up from
Hong Kong and then sold it through a website. I could
make a profit. In the beginning, the money came from
my parents, but I paid them back at lhe end of the
first month Gradually, the site grew and now I send
make-up all over the country, and we offer advice and
30
tips onhne. I've got a couple of people who work
for me part-time, like Alison - she’s our beautician
I want to finish my education, and hopefully keep
the website running al the same time, and then go
into business in a big way after university. The
most important thing at this stage is that I’ve
proved to myself that I can do it The money is
nice, of course, but it’s not the mam reason l‘m
doing it.*
В Craig Little
There's never been that much money at home,
especially since Mum and Dad got divorced, so I
decided to try to make some myself. I’m only 14.
so there are legal restrictions on what kind of
work I can and can’t do, but I managed to get
part-time work in a computer shop. It’s good
because it’s something I know about, and it means
that Mum doesn’t have to worry about giving me
an allowance. I can even help her out with bills
occasionally. I don’t spend much each week, so I
usually manage to put a little in the bank for a
ramy day, as they say.'
C Naomi Webster
Starting at the bottom and working your way up
certainly teaches you a lot. It means that I already
understand how the place works and where the
money comes from. I’ve always wanted to go into
hairdressing, and I think it’s important to start
earnmg your own money as soon as you can. I
mean, Mum and Dad work for their money, so why
shouldn’t I? I don’t think about the future too
much - I’m too busy learning and enjoying myself
I never have any money left at the end of the
month, but I don’t mind because I know that I
spend it on things I enjoy.'
D Neil Chalmers
Delivering pizzas wouldn’t be my first choice as a
career, but it’s fine for this stage in my life. I get
to meet people, even if it is only briefly, and I like
to be outdoors. Nobody’s going to get rich doing
this, but the money does make a big difference,
and I notice it at the weekend when I can afford
things that maybe the others can’t. I think of
myself as quite an ambitious person, and I’m
planning on studying to be an architect, so I'm not
sure this experience is that relevant, really. One
thing I’ve learned is that you value money much
more when you've earned it. and I appreciate the
effort my mum and dad put in to make sure the
family has enough. The worst thing about the job
is the unsociable hours - when everyone's out
partying, I often have to be on my motorbike with
a pizza.'
E Julian Partridge
I couldn’t stand the idea of working, so I had to
come up with some other way of making money.
My parents usually give me what I need, but I was
planning a camping holiday with friends and it was
important to me that I earned the money
somehow. I decided to go to ebay - the website
where you can sell all your old stuff to people
from around the world. I didn’t think l had anything
to sell until my uncle pointed out that I had lots
of old action figures They wore still in the boxes,
and apparently people collect them. Wo sat down
and worked out what they were worth and I sold
them. In the end. we didn't make as much as I’d
hoped, but it was still enough to go on holiday
with.’

RUBBISH
@ HOME
Come on, admit it. We've all got clothes in
our wardrobe that we haven't worn for years
and we know we'll never wear again. Taking
your old clothes to the local charity shop or
recycling bin is a great way of getting rid of a
load of rubbish and creating extra space at
the same time! And it's all for a good cause.
Charities such as The Salvation Army, Oxfam,
TRAID and Scope are big collectors of old
clothes, either through charity shops and
recycling banks or for sorting and selling on,
often abroad.
Buying second-hand clothes is now
definitely in vogue too, with dedicated
followers of fashion such as Kylie and Geri
Halliwell leading the way. Vintage boutiques
offer ranges of designer classics, but can be a
bit on the expensive side, so why not raid
your local charity shop to pick up a real
bargain? You can create your own distinct
look and feel good about your recycling
effort.
Hate junk mail? Around one million tonnes
of junk mail and magazines get binned each
year! But it's easy to cut down on the rubbish
in your bin by registering with the Mailing
Preference Service. Send them your details
and they 11 make sure that you don’t receive
piles of unwanted offers and advertisements
through your letterbox.
A massive 60% of the contents of your
dustbin can be recycled. So why not give your
bin a break and drop off your paper, card,
glass bottles, jars and cans at the recycling
banks located at most supermarkets? By doing
this you'll reduce your household waste by
nearly one third!
Did you know that if you're really clever,
there's £34 million worth of empty aluminium
drink cans in the UK just waiting to be
collected and recycled? The reason is that
aluminium is really valuable and the sort
that's made into the billions of drinks cans we
see on our supermarket shelves can be
46
6
до 45 recycled and used time and time again to make
new drinks cans.
We produce over 26 million tonnes of
household rubbish in the UK every yean so
there's plenty of scope for us to Rethink Rubbish
in the home! By thinking about the types of
goods we buy, how we use them and where we
dispose of them, we can dramatically reduce the
amount of rubbish our homes produce. Whilst
we cant get rid of rubbish altogether, there are
hundreds of ways in which we can cut down on
what we throw away. So, whether we're
recycling, finding new uses for 'junk' or simply
reducing what we create in the first place, with
a little effort, we can all make our homes cleaner
and greener!

can
A benefit you and other people.
В only be done through recycling bins.
C cause a problem with rubbish.
D save you time.

second-hand?

victim.
В All of today's top stars do It.
C You save money, look different and it helps with
recycling.
D It Is a fashionable thing to do but ordinary people
can't afford it.

5	What does the figure of £34 million represent?
A the cost of recycling all the drinks cans in the UK
В the amount spent on soft drinks each year in the UK
C the annual cost of the aluminium used to make
drinkscans
D the amount spent by supermarkets on recycling
schemes

that
A aluminium may be recycled more than once.
В time is running out for the environment.
C a huge number of cans are made every year.
D the cans we use now will last forever.

Anyone for a game
of... squash?
fcu may well have heard of
the game squash, but do you
biow where its name comes from?
I actually comes from the type of ball used, which is
softr and more 'squashable' than the ball used in a
similar game, racquets (or rackets). Indeed, squash was
actually called 'squash racquets' before its name was
reduced to one word.
Squash Is a two-player racket sport, played in a four-
wall court. There is also a doubles version of the game
with four players. | * |	| In squash, both players
- or all four in the doubles game face the same wall.
The aim is to hit the ball against the wall so that the
player on the opposing team cannot return the shot.
The floor of the squash court is divided into two ‘service
boxes*, one on the left and one on the right. At the start
of a game, the player serving first decides whether
to serve from the left or right service box. One of the
servers feet must be in that box when they take their
shot. [ 2~] The latter line is called the 'service
ine’. When a player serves, the ball must hit the wall
above the service line. For a serve to be legal, the ball
also has to land in the opposite service box to the one
it was served from - unless the non-serving player hits
the ball before it hits the floor (this is called volleying).
The ball in squash can be volleyed, or hit after its first
bounce, it cannot be hit if It bounces twice. | 3 J I
A rally continues either until one player is unable to
return the other player's shot or until a player makes a
mistake or breaks a rule, for example by hitting the ball
so that it does not reach the front wall.
As part
of our series looking at
different sports, Victoria Davidson
tells us everything we need to know
about squash.
system which is usually
used for international
matches. Under this system, if the
person serving wins a rally, they get a point. [ 4 ]
The first player to gain nine points is the winner.
Squash is an extremely fast-moving and vigorous
game, and those with heart conditions are advised not
to play. The game is also 'high impact', meaning that
playing often places great strain on a player's joints,
particularly the knees and wrists. A further danger is the
possibility of being hit by a fast-moving ball or racket. In
professional games, the ball has been known to travel
at speeds over 270 kilometres per hour. [ 5 J
Despite this, a number of players each year are injured
- some seriously - while playing.
Squash players enjoy defining their opponent’s style
of play and a number of different types of player are
now frequently referred to. For example, an ‘all-around
player’ is one who plays well in all parts of the court,
and can adapt their style of play to their opponent. A
‘power player’ makes great use of their strength to hit
the ball as fast as possible. | 6 ] A ‘shooter’ is
a player who relies on accuracy and sometimes even
(legal) trickery to gain advantage over their opponent.
Squash has increased in popularity in recent years. One
reason for this is that the game provides a very good
upper and lower body, and cardiovascular, workout.
Today, squash is played in almost iso countries
worldwide. | 7 ]	) Squash is currently recognised
by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) but is not
part of the official Olympic programme.
There are several different scoring systems used around
the world. However, it is the traditional British scoring

I have had always loved to watch fast-action martial arts films!
The actors move like lightning. kicking and chopping but
never really touching to their opponents. It looks so real, even
though it's not. That doesn’t it matter! The fun is just watching
all the fast moves. My favourite of kung fu actor Is Jackie
Chan. He’s even better off than Bruce Lee! I’m so cra/y
about martial arts I’ve even started taking up lessons. Kung
fu is a great workout for the mind and the body. It’s also an
excellent way to protect yourself if you are ever run into

is that you can do it anywhere (even in school if you’re
careful not to get caught}. Its a laugh.You can play
number and pretending to be someone else. I’ve done
that loads of times and they fall for it every time.
Once. I sent a message to my best friend, pretending
68
to be a boy she likes. Anyway. I told her that I would
like to meet up with her. fixed a date. time, place and
everything. When the time came, and she was waiting
for the man of her dreams to arrive, we all showed up
Surprise!
Otherwise, I text people to arrange to meet, to tell my
parents where I am so they don’t worry about me. to

В Belinda
I have got a mobile but I don’t use it that much because
I haven't had it very long. I think I will quite soon - it's
just a case of getting used to it I’m a bit slow at sending
message*» at the moment so, for now. I stick to the good
old phone Well, It's reliable, cheap If you don't stay on all
night, and you can say a lot. My rec ord is three hours on
the phone but my friend had called me so my parents
didn't complain about the cost
What do I talk about? Everything! School, mostly. You
know, you’ve had a bad day or someone's said
something to you and you took it the wrong way. H's
times like (hat mostly.I just like to talk things through

room so I usually lie on my bed and get some rest Гт
not one of these people who do a million other things
while they're on the phone, like my mum, for example.
She can cook the dinner and do all the housework while
she's chatting. I don’t think that's fair to the person
you're talking to.
C Catherine
I like the phone but I find it a bit annoying
because there's always someone else waiting
to use it. Plus, I don't think I've got very good
communication skills and you can't always
understand what people are trying to say to
you. So I tend to use e-mails. I like the fact
that I can choose when - or whether - to
answer them and I can carry on surfing the
net, doing my homework and so on while I'm
waiting for a reply. Also, when I write them, I
can think about what I want to say and get
my thoughts in order, which helps if you're
angry with someone. If you pick up the
phone, you can say things that you'll regret
but if you write it down, you can think about
it, even wait till the next day, before you send
it. I often just delete mine without sending
them!

means that I can understand in a split second if

THE MORNING OF THE EXAM
Tiffany reached out an arm to turn off the alarm and
sleepily opened her eyes. She enjoyed a few moments
of quiet calmness as the last bits of her dream faded
from her mind, and had even started to think about
breakfast, before the realisation that today was the day
hit her like a train. She groaned slightly and stared at
lhe pile of books on the floor around her bed. Against
all the advice her teachers had given her, she had spent
the night before furiously revising, checking things on
lhe internet, making endless notes in the margins of her
textbooks. She picked a book up now and tried to read
what she had written and began to panic when none of
it seemed to make any sense. She dosed her eyes and
forced hersell to calm down.
'Come on. Tiffany/ she said to herself. ‘It’s all there
somewhere in the back of your mind. You just have to
find it at the right time.* Thinking that if she didn’t know
it now. then six* never would, she closed lhe book and
threw it back onto the floor with the others.
As she showered, then ale her breakfast in lhe kitchen,
she pushed all thoughts of electrons, gravity and
equations out of her mind. Physics might not have
been her favourite subject - it seemed too distant from
people and life and all the things that she really cared
about but she rarely had any particular problems with
It. И anything. It bored het and she didn’t understand
how other students struggled with fairly simple
problems. It wasn’t finding the answer that bothered
her, but figuring out why the answer was worth finding
in the first place.
Her mum drove to to sc hool and dropped her off
with a quick kiss on the cheek. ‘Good luck, dear.’ she
said briefly, before driving off into the distance. Her
parents’ attitude to education differed slightly from
the pressure other parents at lhe school put on their
children. They valued education, but saw it in a broader
sense than exam results, and would have been quite
happy d Tiffany decided to leave school and spend a
year travelling around the world. Unfortunately. Tiffany’s
teachers didn’t share the same vision and made sure
all the students were aware of the need to maintain the
standards of the school.
The exam was due to take place in the gym, which had
been filled with desks and chairs, each one one metre
from the next. Outside the gym. crowds of people were
waiting, some beginning to sweat with worry, and it
seemed strange for the usual shouts and cheers of
the gym to be replaced with this quiet murmuring.
Somewhere someone was crying, but the general feel
was of nervous anticipation. Tiffany glanced around for
her friends and spotted them in a corner. Amanda was
talking as Tiffany arrived.
*... and then you take the first number and you multiply
it by...what is it? Oh, I know this...Oh, hi. Tiffany. All
ready? I spent the whole of yesterday evening revising,
and Arny didn’t even sleep’’ Tiffany looked at Amy. who
smiled slightly and yawned, and thought to herself (hat
there was such a thing as doing too much revision. She
noticed that Amy had a maths textbook under her arm.
•And are you doing a bit of extra revision for tomorrow
as well?* she said, laughing. The others looked al her
blankly.
‘What do you mean, tomorrow?’Amy said. ‘Tomorrow’s
physics. I brought this for a last-minute look before the
maths exam, Today’s maths exam.*
A cold chill came over Tiffany as the boll sounded and
everyone started to make their way into the exam hall.

To bring you closer to the thoughts
of people in Britain, we asked the
Walford family from Stoke-on-Trent what
they thought about crime and the police.
Family Value
- Crime
A Mrs Walford, 38
Well, I’m a good person to ask, aren’t I? I had my
purse stolen a month ago. it’s a horrible thing to
happen to anyone - you just can’t believe that it’s
gone. And then there are all the things you carry
with you. I lost some photos of the children when
100
12
they were babies and they were worth more than
the money. The police never found any trace of it.
At least I wasn’t hurt - it wasn’t until I got home
that I missed it. You can sec why they do it. I mean
some of these people literally don’t have anything
to eat. It’s a terrible existence. I actually feel sorry
for them.
В Nan, 62
I can see I brought my daughter up well! She’s very
forgiving. More so than me, in fact. I’m in my
sixties now and Гт not so steady on my feet as I
used to be and, well, I’m terrified of being
attacked while Гт out shopping or something. You
hear such horrible stories. But what can the police
do? There’s something like one policeman for
every three thousand people. They haven’t got a
chance! It’s hard enough being an old lady but I
certainly wouldn’t like to be a police officer. Not
nowadays.
C Mr Walford, 42
It’s no secret because I talk to the kids about It,
but I was once picked up for taking part in a
demonstration. It was all very peaceful and I’m
not proud of it but I think it’s a good lesson for
youngsters to learn. I was lucky In that they
dropped the charges and I didn’t end up in
court. Still, I don’t consider myself a criminal. I
mean, my crime, if you can call it that, was
nothing in comparison to what some people get
away with. Even if they do catch somebody, I
don’t think a few months in prison is enough
really. My family don’t agree with me but I keep
reading these stories about executions in
America and. when I read what they’ve done, I
can’t help thinking they deserve it. If they still
had capital punishment over here, I think certain
criminals would think twice.
D Paul, 18
A mate of mine once told me that he could get me
a pair of expensive trainers for a ridiculously low
price. I knew what he was up to so I spent ages
talking him out of it. He’s just got into university,
so I imagine he’s grateful that I did. Prison Is no
fun and it only makes you worse. You leam more
tricks inside and you have no choice when you

E Jennifer. 15
I wouldn’t go as far as Dad but I agree with him up
to a point. If you’re attacked, it can be very serious
and you might never get over it mentally, even if
you recover physically. So I agree with longer
prison sentences for people who commit acts of
violence. If they knew they’d spend twenty years
locked up. then they'd think twice about going out
and mugging people. We have to be careful,
though, that we don’t let the TV news frighten us.
They focus on sensational crimes and it’s not like
that everywhere.

Some of my friends nick stuff. Well, they’re not

me. In fact, I don’t agree with my mum - even If I
was starving, I wouldn’t do it because it’s just not

from teachers. Everyone Is aware of the problem at

more about it - posters telling people about the
consequences of stealing, that kind of thing.

It was getting dark, and for tljf first time that day Gavin's thoughts turned to the people he'd had to leave behind. He
pictured Lucy crying as she read his note, but he knew that she would understand. More than that, he knew that once
she had recovered from the shock of his absence from her life, she would approve of his actions, would realise that he
had had no choice, had had to escetpe.
Gavin then thought of Nathan, and wished he hadn’t changed his mind at the last minute and stayed behind. Gavin
ran through in his mind their final whispered conversation. Was there something else he could have said to persuade
him? No. Nathan had made his decision and was firm. Gavin respected that, of course, but longed for Nathan to be
with him. Together, they would have been able to share all the difficulties. give each other support and keep each
other company. Now. Gavin had no one to talk to and no one to rely on except himself. That made everything doubly
hard, but Gavin was sure of one thing he didn’t regret for a second his leaving.
Gavin thought also of the guards, and a smile spread across his face as he thought of them discovering that he was
missing He could see (he panic on their faces, the lights coming on all over the building, the shouting, the checking
that no one else was missing too. Gavin hoped that no one would be punished for his actions, but he knew the
chances were that both Lucy and Nathan would suffer to some extent because of it. He prayed for them tu be strong
He also prayed that Lucy had destroyed the note as soon as she’d finished reading it as his p.s. at the bottom had
requested. She was a smart and practical girl, so be had little doubt that she would do as he asked.
106
For the hundredth time that day. Gavin checked his money - $87 in notes and $2.50 in coins - and did the mental
calculations be had been doing for several weeks. $7 for food for six days is $42. $40 for bus tickets. That left $750
for emergencies - and luxuries. In six days, he’d be in Memphis. Quite bow Gavin was going to find Paul when he got
there was something he hadn’t worked out yet, but surely it wouldn’t be impossible. Not knowing Paul's surname
« certainly made things harder, but Gavin had a strong feeling that luck would be on his side - for once. It had to be,
otherwise he’d be out of money and out of options. "Don’t think about that now." Gavin said to himself. ‘Worry about
the things you can control, and worry later about things that are going to happen later/
Gavin looked at his watch and saw that it was just coming up to the hour. "The local news'll be on in a minute,' he
thought. ’Let’s see if I’m being missed yet/ He got out his prize possession - a pocket-size battery-operated radio -
and turned it on. A fire al a factory. Unemployment on the increase again. The opening of the new Museum of Science.
Nothing about a teenage boy on the run. Gavin was astonished to feel a little disappointed. He realised part of him
was actually looking forward to being famous, to being important, to being a hot topic of conversation on the lips of
the residents of Carresville. He wasn’t overly concerned that his photo would be on TV and on posters for miles
around; the last photo the guards had taken of him was when he was thirteen. He'd changed a lot in the last two years
and was fairly confident no one would instantly recognise him. In fact, whenever he looked at that photo on his Centre
ID Card, he didn’t even recognise himself. Who was that innocent young boy looking back at him? Certainly not the

One Yeah, it was a real shame, because we used to be
quite dose. We don’t really see each other these days. You
know, I trusted him a lot. told him some things that I didn’t
tell most of my friends, and he let me down. It wasn’t a
huge amount, but he didn’t stick to our agreement. In fact,
he still hasn’t paid me back completely. I’ve discussed
it with other friends and they agree with me that it was
unacceptable. He and I had a big argument about it, and
that was that, really.
Two: You don’t really think about it when you’re very
young. Your twin is just there all the time. As you get older,
though, you realise you're different from most people.
I always had someone there who understood me and
helped me. II could also be very funny, and people were
often really embarrassed when they didn’t know who was
who. It wasn’t always easy to get people to see me for who
I was. rather than just one half of ’the Jones twins’, but I
wouldn’t change it for the world, despite the difficulties.
Three: Uh huh...yeah...well. things have been really busy
at the office recently, and I haven’t had time to go round
and fix it. Maybe this weekend...uh huh...do you think
so? Okay. I’ll see what I can do, although I can't promise
anything. Did you speak to Dad? What did he say?... Right.
Well. Mum, you know, never even wanted it in the first
place. I’ll give you a call tomorrow and we’ll arrange to go
round, unless something comes up. All right, mate. Speak
to you later.
Four: He’s fourteen now. and he’s growing up so fast! It
seems like only a few years since he was complaining
about having to put his toys away. I always had to force
him to do anything around the house! It was like one
constant argument. He’s completely different now. It’s as if
he’s realised that I’m not just there to be his mum. and he
understands that sometimes I’ve had a hard day at work. I
see some other parents with their difficult teenagers who
just give one-word answers to every question and I feel
quite fortunate.
Five:
Man: So how are things going?
Woman: Oh, can't complain. I suppose. Everyone’s fine.
I've been working a lot, and my boss is making life difficult,
but that’s nothing new.
Man: Oh, mine can be like that. It’s an old family business
and they’re very traditional. I keep making suggestions,
but the brothers who run it never listen. You’re at Walker’s,
aren’t you?
Woman That’s right. In the accounts department. Nearly
six years now. Oh, there’s my bus. Nice to see you again.
Say hello to your sister from me.
Man: I will.

Interviewer: I’m In the Australian city of Perth, and with
me is Rita Wentworth, who works as a tour guide in and
around the city. Now, Rita, first of all, could you tell us a
little aboul the city?
Rita: Sure. Well, Perth has been here since it was started
by Captain James Stirling, back in 1829. There were native
Australians in the area before that, but that was when
the British first arrived. And unlike other cities, such as
Sydney, whose first residents were mostly prisoners from
Britain, the people who first lived in Perth were free. They
came to Australia from Britain to make a better life for
themselves and their families.
Interviewer: What’s Perth like today?
Rita: It’s a very large city of over 1.5 million people, so
there’s lots to do and lots to see. It’s on the coast, so of
course lots of people go surfing in the area, but away from
the beaches there are some very interesting parts of the
city. Art lovers will be interested in the West Australian
Art Gallery, which often has modern art exhibitions, and
there’s lots for music lovers too at the Perth Concert Hall.
And Perth is famous for its sports.
Interviewer: Really?
Rita: Oh. yes. The local cricket team is very popular, and
so is the Australian rules football team - you know, thafs
a game like rugby that we play in Australia. There’s also
a lot of support for the Perth Wildcats, the basketball
team. And there are a lol of facilities for local people, and
visitors, to play sports themselves.
Interviewer: Thanks. Rita. Now, I’m going to speak to some
local people to find out what they think about Irving...
Unit 3, page 27. Listening
Speaker 1:1 wanted a digital camera for Christmas because
my friend was coming to stay with me and I wanted to take
some photos. My husband said he would get me one. and
he did. Well, I’ve never really been very good with modem
technology, and l hadn’t used one before. I took some
photos during the Christmas holiday and let my husband
put them on the computer. When we saw them, though,
the quality wasn’t very good. It was a bit disappointing,
but it seems I had it on the wrong setting. I should have
studied the book that came with it. but 1 don’t have the
patience for that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: l needed a new laptop, so I went along to my
local shopping centre and had a look at what they had
there. I found one I liked and asked a shop assistant to
show it to me. It seemed okay, but he said that I would
really need something faster and that had many more
features. In the end. I spent more money and got one that
is much more powerful than I really need. I wish I’d just got
the one I liked.
Speaker 3:1 had a problem with a dishwasher. After I got
it, a friend told me that you have to clean the filter in the
bottom and add special salt to it. I hadn't known that, but
I thought it should be easy. You just take the filter out,
clean it and put it back. Then there’s a place to put the
salt. I did it and left the filter to dry. When I came back
later, it had gone. Couldn’t see it anywhere. I’ve got no
idea what happened, but now the dishwasher doesn't
work property.
Speaker 4: I've got a new mobile phone now, but it’s the
first new one l*ve had for about five years. My last one was
quite old and didn’t have all these complicated features
that new ones do. People kept telling me to get a new one,
but I never seemed to have enough money at the right
time. To be honest, my friends started to make fun of it, so
I stopped taking it out with me and left it at home - which
is a bit of a waste of time with a mobile! I'm much happier
with this one.
Speaker 5: My dad always says that the cheap one will
cost you more money in the end. and I realise now that
he's right. I got a microwave, and I tried to spend as little
money as I could. When I got it home. I realised that there
weren’t any instructions and no guarantee. It stopped
working after a week, and I had to take it back to the shop.
They gave me another, and that developed a problem
within a couple of months. Finally. I paid more for a better
one.

Interviewer: Hello, and welcome to the Money Show. I’m
joined today by Tessa Crowe, who is a financial expert,
and we’re talking about money problems. Tessa, tell us
what kind of problems people come to you with.
Tessa: Well, it varies. My customers sometimes want
advice about which bank account is best for them and
sometimes they want to know about investing money. The
biggest category is probably money owed on credit cards,
though. Many people use them to buy things, and later
they realise that after paying their household bills they
don’t have enough money left to pay back what they’ve
borrowed. It's a problem that seems to be increasing.
Interviewer; And how does that happen?
Tessa: Credit cards work on a’buy now, pay later* basis. So
when people are thinking of buying something, let’s say a
new pair of shoes or the latest bit of modern technology,
they are thinking about what they want, not what they can
afford. When they look at the price tag. they think it’s okay
to go for the more expensive one because they don't have
to pay for it immediately. Unfortunately, though, if they do
that too often, they end up with a large monthly bill.
Interviewer; What’s your advice?
Tessa; First of all, if you’re concerned about your credit
card bills, don’t just sit there and worry and try to ignore
them. One thing the credit card companies hate is not
knowing what’s happening. Before you get in touch with
someone like me. call them and explain the situation.
They may be able to help. If they’re not very helpful, then
it’s time to speak to your bank manager, or maybe an
advisor like me.
Interviewer: And what can you do for people?
Tessa: When I sit down with people, the first thing I do
is explain that I can't wave a magic wand and make it all
disappear. But I can at least stop it getting bigger. I tell
them to immediately stop using their cards. Many people
just put them away somewhere, perhaps in a locked
drawer, but I prefer my customers to cut them up, so that
there’s no chance of them being used again. Then we work
out how much they can afford to pay back.
Interviewer: What happens to people after they see you?
Tessa Most of them manage to sort their problem out and
eventually pay off the money they owe, and they might
even start using a card sensibly again. Of course, there are
a few who find themselves in the same situation a year or
two later. Il's very hard to know how to help those people.
For some, credit cards are just too tempting and it's just
too easy to spend a lol of money.
Interviewer: Tessa Crowe, thanks for coming to talk to us
today.
Unit 5, page 43, Listening
One: That sounds great. We haven’t done that for a long
time. Do you remember what happened last time? Yeah,
that was funny. Danny tried to kick it like a football and
hurt himself. In the end. though, he was really good al
knocking them down, wasn’t he? It’ll make a change from
losing to him at pool every weekend, anyway. You contact
everyone and see if they want to join us for a coffee
afterwards, at (hat place round the corner.
Two: My husband got the tickets, and it had been ages
since we went to the theatre, so I was really looking forward
to it. I don’t know if you’ve been to the Royal Theatre, but
they’ve changed it recently. Do you remember? It used to
be really cold and uncomfortable until they modernised it.
We had seats near the front, so we could see everything.
The performance looked great, and I loved the dresses the
women were wearing. The only thing that spoiled it was
that some of the people on stage.., I just wasn’t convinced
by their performance, realty. I thought they were quite bad
and needed more training.
Three- No ... on the sixteenth ... that's right, Mr Reeves.
Gordon Reeves ... and we’re in seats 35F and 35G ... have
you found it? Right, well, the thing is that I’ve got my
brother and his wife visiting then, and I realised that they
don't have tickets, so I was wondering whether there are
any left... oh ... right... that’s a shame. We'll have to go on
the following Friday, then ... yes, if you can change those,
that’s great... and the seats are 3$F and G. Right _ thank
you.
Four: We saw it on DVD last night. What a load of rubbish!
I just don’t believe that a man like that would leave his job
and go and live in the country. And then meet (he girl of his
dreams. I did think their relationship was handled quite
well in the end, I suppose, but the plot was so simple and
predictable that I started falling asleep. I prefer films that
are more (rue to life, where people have understandable
reasons for doing things. I wasn’t impressed.
Five: I don’t play video games so often, but someone got
me this one for my birthday, so I tried it out. It’s great! The
idea is that you’re trying to rescue a princess, and you
have to fight lots of monsters to get to her. It might look
a bit old-fashioned, but I loved the bits where you have
to fight. You have to be really quick on the controls, but
when you do it right, it’s awesome. The background music
can get a bit annoying, but that's not a major problem. You
should come round and play it some time.

and I speak to local councils to help them develop their
environmental programmes. This means that I study the
local needs and the local problems and try to come up with
ideas that councils can use to deal with the problems.
Interviewer: And what problems have you been looking at
in our area?
Robert: This area is quite interesting because there used
to be a lot of factories in the past. These have mostly been
replaced now by shopping centres or by housing for local
people, but there are still some pollution problems left
behind.
Interviewer: What kind of problems?
Robert These places often burned a lot of fossil fuels,
which of course adds to global warming, but there’s not
much we can do about that at a local level. However, many
of them gave off chemicals that can still be found in the
soil or even in some rivers. One of my jobs Is to help the
council find ways to get rid of those chemicals and help
nature recover in those areas.
Interviewer: What kind of things do you suggest?
Robert; There are really two main stages. The first is to
clean the soil and water using filters and special chemicals.
Then we need to build nature reserves to protect the area
and to allow nature to do the rest of the job. You know,
nature is very good at recovering from this kind of thing, as
long as we give it the chance to. With proper management,
any areas affected by this kind of pollution should be back
to normal within ten years. Part of my job is to follow that
process and check that everything is going well.

Interviewer: Thanks, Robert, Tor telling us about what you
do. Now let’s listen to the opinions of a few local people.
Revision Unit 1, page 56. Listening
Оле: I realised I had some free time on my hands, and I
wanted to do something useful for my local area, so I got
involved in an environmental scheme. It's run by the local
council. They come up with a plan for which areas need
cleaning up. and we do it. It’s very varied last week it
was a beach, (his week it's a river. None of us get paid, it’s
purely voluntary, and it’s not easy for everyone to spare
the time, but we’re all very proud of what we do. I wish
I’d got involved years ago. because it's a great feeling to
know that you're making a difference.
Two: In the end I stopped going to German lessons, so I’ll
have to find something else Co do with my weekend. I don’t
know. It was fun for a while, and I met some nice people. It
just became harder to justify the expense when the course
fees went up. and l knew there wasn’t much chance of me
going there on holiday. I was just learning for personal
interest, and I think I got what I wanted. Now, for example.
I could probably read a novel in German, as long as I had
my dictionary with me. So I’m looking for something else,
preferably something free. Any suggestions?
Three: In my opinion, we are all too eager to accept modern
technology and everything it brings. Companies bring out
the latest thing and we all rush out and buy it. without
really thinking about it. The main problem is that we start
to believe that we can have everything without making an
effort. We spend a relaxing evening online, and In order to
communicate with people on the other side of the world,
all we have to do is press a few buttons. We come to think
that anything that isn’t available to us instantly and easily
is a waste of time, and I think that’s the real problem.
Four: Oh, it’s so annoying! I wish I hadn't gone now.
What happened was. I was going to stay over at Emma’s
place, and I told my mum wp were going to revise for the
exam, which was true. She rang Emma’s mum to check
that everything was all right and that I could go over,
but it turned out that Emma was in trouble for not doing
something, the washing up, I think. Anyway, that meant I
couldn’t go round. She’s always doing things like that. It’s
so annoying!
Five: I’ve always loved insects, ever since I was a little
boy. There are so many different kinds that you could
spend your whole life studying them and still only know
a tiny amount. They manage (o find a way Io live almost
anywhere on Earth, even in places where lots of other
things can’t, and that’s what I find most impressive about
them. Whether it's social species like ants, which work
together to build a large colony, or solitary species who
live on their own. you’ll find an insect almost everywhere
you look. Isn’t that amazing?
Unit 7, page 65, Listening
Speaker 1: Well, we did rugby in the winter, football in the
spring and cricket in the summer. And that was about it,
really. Whatever the weather, that’s what we played. I was
quite good at cricket, actually. I was captain of the school
team in my last year. I wish we’d done the kind of things
my kids do today. You know, canoeing, karate, aerobics,
cycling, that kind of thing, but it was only a small school,
and they just didn’t have the facilities, more’s the pity.
Speaker 2: I went to rather an unusual school where we
were encouraged not to see sport in terms of winning
or losing. I think the head teacher didn’t like the idea of
competition. Wo did play hockey and tennis, but only for
fun. really, and I remember being really jealous of children
at other schools who. it they were good enough, had the
chance to play in the school team. We didn’t have any you
see. As far as I remember, we didn’t even have a school
sports day. Though I do remember going on cross country
runs when it was too wet to play hockey. We'd all run in a
group - no winners again, you see! - and we’d all come
back soaked. I think we all quite enjoyed that, really.
Speaker 3: It's only in the last five years or so that I’ve
discovered the pleasures of doing sport. I hated it at
school. I think it’s because we were forced to do it. I’m the
kind of person who enjoys things they choose to do. but
resents being made to do something. Especially playing
football in the rain. Anyway, I know most of the kids
used (0 really look forward to two hours of games every
afternoon, but I used to dread it. At least I never ended up
in a school team. That would have been awful!
Speaker 4: Do you know what really put me off sport at
school? It was the fact that such a great emphasis was
placed on being good. Do you know what I mean? I think
these days, It’s all about taking part and having fun, and
who cares how many goals you score? At my school it
wasn’t like that at alL The kids who made it into the school
teams were worshipped by the other kids - and by the
teachers, to tell you the truth - and the other kids, like
me. who weren’t particularly good. well, we were looked
down on.
Speaker 5: I think I’d have enjoyed it all a lot more if it
hadn’t always been so cold and wet. I went to school
in Tavistock in Devon, which is famous for its dreadful
weather. It was either pouring with rain, or the ground was
frozen hard. Horrible! I remember once, near the start of
term. I was tackled in a game of rugby. I landed badly, and
broke my arm. I couldn’t do any sport for the rest of term,
and I remember feeling so relieved that I wouldn’t have to
stand out there on the rugby pitch shivering for two hours
like my friends!
Unit 8, page 73, Listening
Presenter: Susan Blake joins me now to talk about the
newspaper The Doily Post, which was launched this week.
Susan, we’ve seen four issues of The Daily Post now. Is it
going to be a success, do you think?
Susan: Well, that's actually a very difficult question, and
I think the only real answer is that time will tell. But. I do
think they've got off to a good start, and I gather that
two million people who bought yesterday’s copy tend to
agree.
Presenter: So. what are they doing right, in your opinion?
Susan: Well, to start with. I think people like the fact that
this is the size of a typical tabloid newspaper - it's not
difficult to hold when you're standing on a train or bus, for
example - but that there is actually quite a lot of news in
it. You know, real news, not just stories about celebrities
and soap stars. Secondly, a lot of newspapers only really
appeal to people in their forties and fifties. You know,
people with houses and families and quite good jobs. The
Daily Post seems to be aimed at a younger audience too. I
can imagine some teenagers reading it, and students, and
people in their twenties and thirties. There's still plenty for
people who are m their forties or older, of course, too.
Presenter: Now. many newspapers side with one political
party against the other parties. Do you get the feeling The
Daily Post does that too?
Susan: Well, they certainly claim that they’re politically
independent, and judging from the first four issues. I think
that's probably true. They’ve attacked the government
on f’lr e,*-. and simported them on others. We*1
126
see if that changes over the next few months. I suspect
it might.
Presenter: Right . Are there any things you don’t like about
the paper?
Susan: There are definitely some things they can improve.
They’ve only got one page for the day’s TV schedule,
which isn’t really enough, it would be a lot easier to read
if it was spread over two pages. Also, they’re going to
be producing a free magazine every Tuesday called The
Tuesday Magazine We saw the first one yesterday, and
that really was a bit poor. I know it’s just an extra that
you get with the paper, but it was so full of adverts, it was
actually difficult to find any articles in it. They'll have to do
better than that. I’d say.
Presenter; One final question. Do you think the other
newspapers should be worried?
Susan: Yes. I do. They’re definitely going to see their sales
drop as people switch to The Daily Post. They’re going to
have to try hard to get them to come back, but I'm sure
they will try. I imagine in a couple of months or so the
other papers will drop their prices a little to encourage
people to buy them again.
Unit 9, page 81, Listening
Presenter loining me in the studio today is the well-known
author Craig Danton. Craig, welcome to the show. Thanks
so much for coming in today.
Craig; You're very welcome!
Presenter: Craig, your latest novel. The Forgotten Children,
has sold over a million copies and these days you’re a
highly respected writer. Was it easy to get your first novel
published?
Craig: My first novel? To be honest, I didn’t even try to get
that published! I wrote it when I was a university student,
and, once I’d finished it, put it away in a drawer and started
on the next one.
Presenter: Really? Do you think you’ll publish it at some
time in the future?
Craig: No. no. It really wasn’t very good at all. I don’t think
I developed the characters properly, and the plot was a bit
weak, to tell you the truth. But the thing about being a
writer is that the more you write, the better you get. so it
wasn’t a waste of time. Without It. I couldn't have written
my second novel.
Presenter: And that was Darkness at Midday?
Craig: Darkness at Midday, that’s right.
Presenter: And how easy was it to get that published?
Craig: Well, it took me about three years! When I finished
it, I sent il off to a publisher in London. A few months later,
they politely replied that it wasn’t for them, so I sent it to
another one. And the same thing happened again and
againand again.
Presenter: How many rejection letters did you gel in
total?
Craig: Seventeen!
Presenter: There must have been times when you wanted
to give up. when you thought. ’I’m never going to get this
book published.*
Craig: There were definitely times when I thought that, but
no, I never wanted to give up. There are so many stories
of successful books being turned down initially, you just
need lots of determination to keep going. If the book’s
good enough, youII find a publisher in the end.
Presenter: Like you did.
Craig: Yes. Well actually, for that book. I entered it into a
competition for unpublished writers and it won first place.
From that moment on, publishers we’re queuing up to
publish it!
Unit 10, page 89, Listening
One: l was about fifteen or sixteen. I suppose. It had never
crossed my mind to become a nurse before then, even
though my mum was one. I don’t think I ever really knew
what she did, to be honest, though I guess I’d watched
hospital dramas on TV. Anyway, I had to go into hospital
for an operation, and this nurse was just really kind and
friendly and I thought: ’That’s the kind of job that I'd like
to have.’ Mum gave up nursing a few years ago now. and
I think she’s rather pleased I’ve chosen the same job she
had.
Two: Certainly at the hospital where I work a lot has been
spent on new equipment over the past few years, and in
that respect I think we’re one of the best hospitals in the
whole region. Having said that, though. I can really only
give a patient coming to see me about ten minutes for an
initial consultation. Fifteen minutes maximum. So I think it
often feels to the patient like it’s all a bit rushed, which is
a shame. We do have a lol of forms to fill In. of course, but
that’s just part of the job. really, and you have to find time
for it somehow.
Three: The thing is, Debbie. I know you really want to
go on this diet, but you’re actually nol overweight at all
and I don’t really know anything about it. They Ye always
warning people not to go on special diets without talking
to a doctor first, so how about we make an appointment
for you to see Dr Marshall? If he says il’s okay, then we can
talk about il further.
Four: For about three days before I went. I was really
scared, it’s silly, isn’t it, but I’d just got it into my head that
it would be really painful and I’d have to sit in the chair for
ages and it would just be a really unpleasant thing. Well,
when I got there, he was so friendly and just put me at my
ease, that l didn’t even mind when he said I had to have
three fillings. It was clear he knew what he was doing, and
I was just happy to let him get on with his job.
Five:
Vet: So, what seems to be the problem with old Buggies,
here?
Boy: WpII. I’m not sure, but something’s not quite right.
Usually he spends several hours a day running round the
living room, but he hasn’t done that recently, if you look in
his eyes, it’s like he's a bit sad or something. Depressed.
He just sits there.
Vet: I see. What about his eating habits? Have they
changed at all?
Boy: let me think. No. he’s still eating the same amount
each day. Yeah, that hasn’t changed.
Unit 11, page 97, Listening
Speaker i: I took my driving test about twenty years ago,
and it really was the strangest experience ever. I was
driving along, doing what I was told. You know, 'turn left at
the end of the road, then take the next right.’ Thai kind of
thing. When all of a sudden the examiner shouted ’Stop!'
I didn’t know what I’d done wrong. A man ran up to the
car. and said his wife was really ill and had to get to the
hospital now. Well, we took them. I didn't actually know
the way to the hospital, so all the way it was ’turn left at
the end of the road’! I did drive faster than you do in the
normal test, though. We got there okay and the examiner
said it had been the most unusual test he’d ever been
involved in. I passed!
127
Гаре^спр
Speaker 2: I’d just moved to Scotland, and really needed
a car where I lived, so I decided to have lessons. They
were fine, but when it came to the test, the person testing
me had a really really broad Scottish accent, and I just
couldn’t make out anything he said. Every time he gave
me an Instruction, I had to ask him to repeat it at least
three times. He was very kind, though, and didn't penalise
me for that, thank goodness.
Speaker 3:1 was so nervous in my test and I made a really
stupid mistake. We’d been driving around for about three
minutes when the examiner said ’I’d like you to turn left
at the T junction up ahead.' Now. I know the difference
between left and right, and I did hear him clearly say ’left’,
but for some reason which I’ll never understand -1 guess
I just wasn't thinking clearly - I indicated to go right, and
actually turned right at the T-junction. I failed that lime,
but passed the next time I took the test.
Speaker 4:1 suppose it's what everyone dreads happening
in their test - and it happened to me. We’d just started the
test a nd I was changing gear-I think I was going from first
to second gear when the gear stick came right off in my
hand. I couldn't believe it! It was totally broken. It wasn’t
my fault, of course, and the examiner was very good about
it. We had to start the test again in a different car.
Speaker 5:1 was in a panic when I took my test. The whole
day had gone badly, and I nearly didn’t make it to the test
centre on time. Anyway. 1 definitely wasn't relaxed at all.
and we were doing that bit where you have to reverse
around a corner So what did I do? I drove straight into a
parked car. I didn't do a lot of damage there was just a
tiny bump really - but it was enough for me to fail the test,
of course.
Unit 12, page 105, Listening
Woman: And in other news today, a bizarre burglary in
Leeds has left police baffled. Joseph and Mary Carter
woke up yesterday morning to find that all the doors and
windows of their three-bedroom house in the Wakefield
district of the city had been stolen. Toby Marsh tells us
more.
Toby: Before Joseph and Mary Carter went to bed last
night, they shut the windows and locked the front door
as usual. But when they woke up this morning, they were
gone.
Магу: I got up first, at about six o’clock, and I pulled back
the curtains in the bedroom, and this cold blast of air hit
me. The window had gone. I woke Joseph, and that’s when
we discovered what had happened.
Joseph: We couldn’t believe it. We didn’t hear a thing in
the night. How on earth could someone take all the doors
and windows of our house without us hearing a thing? It
doesn’t make sense. The worst thing is we only had them
fitted a couple of months ago. They were brand new.
Toby: Police officers on the scene are baffled.
Police officer: It's one of the strangest crimes I’ve ever
witnessed, and I've been on the force for over fifteen years.
There are so many things about this we don't understand.
Why would someone take all the doors and windows? How
did they do it so quietly? Why didn’t they take anything
else? The Carters had a brand-new colour TV in the living
room. That’s still there. It’s quite peculiar.
Toby: Officers are currently interviewing neighbours in the
hope that someone saw or heard something. Meanwhile,
Joseph and Mary Carter and boarding up their windows
and doors until they can be replaced.
Revision Unit 2, page 110, Listening
Presenter: In the news again this week is another story
about language and eenetics, Scientists are claiming they
have more evidence for there being a ‘language gene'. So,
I’m glad to have Carol Dickinson, Professor of Linguistics
at Charleston University in the studio with me to try to
make sense of alt this. Carol, thanks for coming in.
Carol: My pleasure.
Presenter: Carol, the idea that there's a specific gene in
our bodies that gives us language strikes many of us as
being a bit silly. Can it possibly be true?
Carol: Yes, it does seem silly, doesn’t It? The problem
is often with I he way this is reported. Journalists take
something a scientist has said, and report it as something
entirely different. We both speak English. People in
Japan speak Japanese. Now clearly it's nothing to do with
genetics, with our DNA. that we speak English and they
speak Japanese. Which language you speak is purely
down to environmental factors.
Presenter: So, if it's nature versus nurture, it’s nurture that
determines what language we speak?
Carol: That’s right, and that's just common sense. What
scientists have been asking for a while now, though, is
why do humans acquire language so easily, whereas
other animals, apes for example, don’t? And what the
evidence suggests is that there is something in our DNA,
in our genes, that gives us the ability to pick up language.
And that's what some people call ‘the language gene*,
although of course it may be more than one gene that
helpsit all happen.
Presenter: But. what you seem to be talking about - a
language gene - if it’s true, then it applies to all languages
in the world, right?
Carol: That’s right.
Presenter: But - and maybe I’m wrong here - languages
are very very different. How can there be something in
all of us that can enable us to learn so many different
languages? Do you see what I mean? Chinese has a totally
different set of grammatical rules Io English, doesn’t it?
Carol: That’s actually a really interesting, and important
question. If you’re right, if there are languages in the
world that have absolutely nothing in common, then it’s
unlikely that there’s a language gene in all of us. But what
we’ve found is that in fact all the languages in the world
do share a large number of characteristics.
Presenter: For example?
Carol: Well, for example, all human languages have nouns,
verbs and adjectives. And all languages follow certain rules.
If I say to you 'You are a radio presenter’, in English we can
make that a question by swapping round the subject and
the verb: 'Are you a radio presenter?' Other languages do
it differently. of course, but there isn't a single language
in the world where they make a question by reversing the
word order of the whole sentence: ’Presenter... radio ... a
... ace ... you?’. So all languages follow quite strict rules,
which we sometimes call ‘the universal grammar', The
differences are minor in comparison. It’s been said, and
I agree with this, that if a Martian came down to Earth,
he’d think we all spoke the same language, with just a few
minor regional differences.
