Hiện TranscriptShall we have a look at this information about campsites, and then perhaps we can choose where to go on holiday?Yes, my children are very excited about our two families going away together again this year. Shall we look at Westerly Campsite first?Yes, it says it’s most suitable for children under 12 years old, so that should be fine for us. Your daughter’s just 11, isn’t she?Yes, that’s right.Now, where is the Westerly Campsite? Is it the one next to a lake?That’s another one. This one’s by the sea. Perfect.Yes, that’s a good place to go in the summer when the weather’s hot.This brochure says that most children who go to Westerly Campsite love the animals they can see there. There’s a special area where they can go and feed them.We might see some interesting birds, too. Oh, and look, it says a farmer comes every day, and you can buy eggs from him.Great for breakfast. I wonder if he sells other things like cheese, but it’s not mentioned.I don’t know. I think they grow a lot of fruit in that area, so he might sell that.Another thing I like about this campsite is that they let you make a fire. We could cook some sausages and sing songs around it in the evenings, and perhaps it would be a good way to meet other families there, too.Great, and it isn’t too expensive. £6 per adult per night, £3 per child, but wait, families of four can get it for £15.75 a night. That works out even cheaper.Let’s look at a couple of other campsites before we decide.Yes, let’s look at Snetton Forest Campsite. It’s even cheaper, £5 per adult, and children under 10 are free. They say it’s a very good place if you’re keen on fishing, and they even give you tips on where to go to have the best chance of catching some.I prefer walking or hiking, and so does the rest of my family, so I’m not sure that will attract us that much. Oh, look, it says you can rent a bike to go around the forest. I’d do that, and your children would like that too, wouldn’t they?Absolutely, we could all go somewhere and have a picnic. Look, this is interesting too. At Snetton, they get all the children together to play football. Oh, your children would love that, and your husband, Mike, plays too, doesn’t he?Yes, that sounds good. Well, Mike’s more into tennis, actually, but I’m sure he’d be happy to be a referee if they needed one. Here’s some information about Trent Valley Campsite. I’ve heard about this one. There’s a festival near the campsite in June, and it’s really busy, so they say for families, it’s better in July when it’s a bit quieter.Well, that would be just right for us because we have to go in the school summer holidays. Let’s look at what it says about it. Oh, look, it’s quite a long way to the nearest village, 8 km, it’s too far to walk.But this one has got an open-air pool, which we’d all love in the summer, and they have a little shop where you can buy basic things like bread and milk.That’s really useful. And there’s lots to do there, I think, on Saturday nights…

Part 1

Hiện TranscriptSafety Driving Center, hello.Hello. Can you give me some information about driving lessons?Yes. There are two courses: one on theory and one practical course, and most people do the two courses simultaneously. The first part of the theory course consists of a series of lessons, and you can do these either at the center in one of our classrooms or via the internet. You work through the material at your own pace, but there's a tutor on hand to help whenever you need it.At the second stage, we review what we've covered so far. We do this in the classroom. We don't deliver it online, so you have to come into the center. At the end of this lesson, there's a test, but this is just for practice. It's not a proper RTD test. If you're satisfied with your performance on this, you can go on to the next stage. And if you're not, you can go back to stage one and follow the lessons again.The third stage is the real test, the one set and administered by the RTD, that's the Road Traffic Department. Provided you pass that test, you then get your provisional driving license, which you need before you can venture onto public highways.The practical course starts off here at the test center, and it consists of training and assessment on our specially designed circuit. This allows you to get driving experience immediately, but in a safe environment.At the next stage, you continue with training and assessment, but on public highways. Obviously, you can't do this until you've obtained your provisional license, to show that you've got some knowledge of traffic regulations and road safety.Then, when both you and your instructor think you're ready, you do a trial test. And if that goes well, you go straight on to do the official test run by the RTD.Finally, provided that you're successful in both parts of the course, the theory and the practice, you get your driving license. You're then on probation for a year, and as long as you don't have any problems in that time, your license will be endorsed for future use.Can you tell me how to enroll?Yes, it's quite easy. For the theory course, there's no need to book. And if you're going to do classroom-based lessons, you can just turn up here at the center and pay as you go. We run six sessions a day, and if you go to our website, you'll find the start times for each session. If you don't have internet access, you can pick up a leaflet from the center here with that information.As for the classes themselves, all our theory classes are run by experienced tutors, and they're offered in a number of different languages as well as in English. We deliver the content using PowerPoint, but there's still a place for pen and paper tasks, and we ask you to bring your own stationery to the lessons. You choose the particular stage of the course that you want each time. Some people attend more frequently than others, and so they progress through the course at a faster rate.What about enrolling on the practical course?That's a bit more complicated, and you do have to book in advance. But you can do that via our website, or at the customer service desk here at the center, or you can book at one of our self-service kiosks. You'll find them in some of the big stores in the city, so it's very convenient, whatever your situation is.You can attend between 1 and 7 sessions a week, so you can decide whether you want to do the course intensively or spread it out more. Some driving schools allow you to drive your own car, but for safety and insurance reasons, we don't.You can cancel lessons in the same way that you book them, but in order to avoid incurring a penalty, you have to do that at least 72 hours in advance of your appointment. When you make a cancellation in less than the required period, you can try and transfer your session to someone else. If another trainee then agrees to take the session over, your payment for the cancelled session can be credited back to your account. Otherwise, we can't give a refund for any reason, and even a medical certificate isn't accepted as grounds for granting one.

Part 2

Hiện TranscriptSo Sarah, I understand you were not present at our last two classes.Yes, I've been unwell.Well, sorry to hear that. I would like to ask you how your research project is going. Your topic is social media. You informed me you will formulate a questionnaire, and use it to survey people's social media habits. Is this correct?Yes. I've come up with several reasons people frequently use social media. While many people, especially the older generation, view this technology as encouraging egotism, there are many who use this media simply as a way to preserve precious memories through photographs.Yes, it's true since it's always worthwhile to remember good times in some way. But nowadays, some people seem to pay more attention to material things. They buy something very expensive to demonstrate they have a higher social status than their peers. Usually, the latest computers and cell phones are good choices to do this.I agree that there is a materialistic side. But social media also has some other functions. For example, our personal tastes can be conveyed when we comment on a picture someone has uploaded or show our own pictures.Yes, that's right. Compared with the real world, people feel freer on social media to display who they really are. So it seems to be a great medium for those who traditionally have been marginalized in society to be able to present their own identity as individuals. But unfortunately sometimes they tend to pay too much attention to other people's comments.Yes, that can be dangerous.So, who have you chosen to take part in your survey? You will need a wide range of interviewees to get a rounded opinion of social media.I think that to get comprehensive opinions, I will need people who come from varying cultures. We have many overseas students here at the university, so I would like to include as many of them as I can. Oh, right, I also want to interview my friends.If you do so, your results may be too narrow to be viable. The interview should include more people instead.Do they have to be of different genders?Gender is usually an important factor, but in this case, the importance is not that obvious. You may have to include students who are interested in different fields. They usually have quite opposite ideas. On the contrary, people who take same subjects in general have similar opinions.That's true, so I won't include those who take the same courses.I think so. Basically, you should open up the field of responses, so you can have a greater diversity in opinion reflected in your results. But all respondents will have one common theme though - they all should have begun studying this year.OK, I will remember that. How about those who still live in the same household with their parents? Should I include them?I don't think they're the target interviewees. Anyway, it's good to have a common thread. It focuses the study down on a particular group. Do you have any questions? There are many ways this project could go.Initially, I was worried about what kind of questions I should be asking, and then when I'd come up with the questions, I wasn't sure of their relevance! But I seem to have ironed out those problems. I'm just concerned now how little time I have left to complete the project. Getting ill in the middle of it has delayed my progress.You can always apply for an extension if you need it.Thanks! Do you have any suggestions on how I should begin this essay once I've compiled the results from the survey? Should I start with the point I wish to make throughout this essay?Sometimes it's beneficial to start with the background. But I think since you rely so heavily on the results of your interviews to bring your point across, it would be good to begin by exploring the factors why you chose these people to interview. After that, don't forget to explain why you chose this topic, and what it means to you personally.Right. Last question, my classmate told me this assignment had to be finished by the end of April. I don't think I'll complete it by that date. I may not even be able to find enough people to survey by then!The report doesn't need to be completed until the end of May, so you have a bit of time left. But you will need to get the interviews finished and compiled, as I wish to assess the progress of each student's research. That will need to be completed by the 30th of April.OK, I'll get straight to work!

Part 3

Hiện TranscriptWelcome, students, to the daily talk on the fossils found here at Green Mountain Fossil Park.First, I will tell you a little about the history of our park.The park is designed to educate you on what the environment was like in this area around 5 million years ago, when most of the area was at sea level and near water bodies such as lakes and seas.These bodies of water provided moisture and significant plant and animal variety, which has resulted in the fantastic collection of fossils which you will see today.The fossils here were discovered by mine workers during the 1960s, and the park itself was opened to tourists and students back in 1985.We have three types of fossils here in the park – the first are transitional fossils.These are rare fossils that appear to exhibit traits of the animal’s evolutionary ancestors and its descendants, such as an animal showing both dinosaur and bird-like features.Next, we have preserved fossils, which are more common fossilized remains.These are fossils in which the structure of an animal or plant remains intact and you can clearly see something like a plant or a fish.Thirdly, we have fossils which indirectly show the activities of animals, such as their tracks and burrows, and we refer to these as trace fossils.You may wonder how fossils are formed.Well, many people think it happens when organisms are caught in a volcanic eruption and are trapped in ash, but in reality, these formations are rare.The most common way a fossil is formed is through petrifaction.An animal dies and becomes buried under mud or silt.Over time, the mud hardens around the bones of the animal.Eventually, the bones also decay and are replaced by minerals, which form the shape of the fossil in stone.You will see many of this kind of fossil today.After you finish today’s tour, you may wish to take home a souvenir.We encourage you to do so.There is a shop outside the park, but you can also make purchases from our exhibitions.The money raised helps to fund our work of preserving this wonderful site.Of course, you can also buy fossils and take them home.Please don’t think that all fossils are expensive to buy - the majority are small and affordable samples that are as wonderful as the larger ones.Don’t forget to check them out.As you can see, you all have some worksheets to go through here today.These will help you to learn as much as you can from your visit.There are also some tools you will find as you go around the site.For example, there are tape measures available beside each fossil so that you can note the dimensions of each fossil.This can help us to identify different species.We also encourage you to use your specially-designed notebook to record as many different types of rocks as you can.Geology forms an important part of the study of fossils, and so we want you to focus on the types.If you brought a camera along with you today, don't hesitate to use it as the images of the fossils will be worth reviewing later.You may wish to experiment with the settings to see what they are like.Here in the information centre, you can pick up an information sheet which contains some useful tips on how to do that.Last of all, you can practice using a compass.Even though you cannot locate the fossils themselves using the compass, it will help you find the sediments, which are the key to the location of the fossils.These are very soft, so to protect the delicate fossils, trowels and plastic covers are needed.You will find these throughout the site. Please use them.Please feel free to ask any of our staff as you tour around, and enjoy your day!We hope you leave us today with a greater passion to study fossils further.
