Tapescript 1

Dan: Hello. I’m Dan Walker Smith and today I’m joined by Kate.

Kate: Hello Dan.

Dan: Now today Kate and I are talking about pollution. So I’m going to start the show today with a question, Kate; have you ever heard of the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’?

Kate: No, I’m afraid I haven’t; I’ve never heard of that.

Dan: Well let me explain: Garbage is an American word for something we’ve thrown away. What we in the UK might call rubbish. And the Pacific Garbage Patch is an area of the Pacific Ocean where rubbish has collected. It was discovered in 1997, and is essentially a big floating soup of plastic garbage and bits of rubbish that have been thrown away on land and have ended up in the sea.

Kate: Ooh that sounds absolutely horrible. I had no idea that anything like that existed.

Dan: Well this is the bit which is really scary: we don’t actually know the size of the garbage patch, but some people say it could be 600,000 square miles across –which is twice the size of France.

Kate: What? Twice the size of France? That’s absolutely huge!

Dan: And it could be bigger.

Kate: That’s very frightening. Now plastic pollution in the seas kills over a million sea birds and 100,000 mammals and turtles each year.

Dan: So here’s the Dutch marine biologist Jan van Franeker talking about the effects of plastic pollution on birds.

Worldwide, there’s so many bird species that have litter in their stomachs. It varies from pieces from bottles or toys, parts from fishing nets, from ropes. Any sort of plastic really that is broken up and is floating around the ocean.

 

Kate: OK, so the plastics they’re finding aren’t just things that might have been thrown into the sea, like fishing nets and ropes, but are actually things that have come from the land, like pieces of bottles and children’s toys.

Dan: Apparently 80% of all the plastic found in the ocean is actually litter that’s been thrown away on land.

Kate: And part of the problem is that most plastics aren’t biodegradable.

Dan: And some plastic bags could last in the environment for up to a thousand years.

Kate: Let’s hear the marine ecologist Richard Thompson talking about plastic packaging.

I think we need to think very, very carefully about the way that we use plastics in society. If we think that 100 million tonnes of plastic products are made every year, 40% of those are packaging materials that are mainly used once and then discarded.

 

Dan: OK, so 40% of the world’s plastic is used as packaging material and then discarded. To lower the amount of plastic waste, scientists recommend the ‘three Rs’ for packaging. We can reduce the amount of packaging used on products; we can re-use packaging more than once, and we can recycle the materials used.

Kate: Do you recycle, Dan?

Dan: I’m actually very lucky, because where I live in London has a great recycling programme. So essentially every week we’ve got someone who comes round and collects all the paper and all the plastic and all the glass that I’ve used that entire week, which is fantastic.

Kate: Oh that sounds great, you’re really lucky. Actually I’ve got the same thing: I have all my plastics and glass picked up outside my house, so I think certain places in the UK are doing quite well on the recycling front.

Dan: And even if you can’t recycle, just try and reuse or reduce the amount of waste that you’re going to be producing. So from all of us here, thanks for listening, and goodbye!

Kate: Goodbye!


Reading

The learners may write their answers using their own words to explain their choice. The main idea should be the same as it was presented in the text.

Task 1. Read the text carefully. Select if the statements are TRUE or FALSE, put a tick in an appropriate column and EXPLAIN your choice.

  

Statements True False Explanation
1. A survey says people should not use the Internet.      
2. The survey said Internet addicts needed to get online regularly.      
3. Researchers questioned over 2,540 people in their study.      
4. A professor said we know a lot about Internet addiction.      
5. The professor said addicts had no problem with day-to-day activities.      
6. Internet addicts suffer from depression more than non-addicts.      
7. Internet addicts find it more difficult to manage their time.      
8. We need to know if mental health problems create Internet addiction.      

 

A new survey suggests that people who use the Internet too much may have mental health problems. The survey said that people who are addicted to the Internet have problems in life if they cannot get online regularly. The survey is from McMaster University in Canada. Researchers looked at the Internet habits of 254 students and then looked at the students' general mental health. Thirty-three of the students were addicted to the Internet. The researchers said another 107 students had problems because of their Internet use. These included depression, anxiety, impulsiveness and inattention. A professor said we still know little about the dangers of Internet addiction and need to do more research into it.

          The lead researcher in the study, professor Michael Van Ameringen, explained what kind of problems he found with students. He said: "We found that [students addicted to the Internet] had significantly more trouble dealing with their day-to-day activities, including life at home, at work or school and in social settings." Professor Van Ameringen added: "[People] with Internet addiction also had significantly higher amounts of depression and anxiety symptoms, problems with planning and [problems with] time management." The professor said we needed to find out just how big the problem of Internet addiction is. He also said we needed to find out if mental health problems caused Internet addiction.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT TASKS


Speaking

Task 1. Choose the question from the card on the topic “Entertainment and Media” and be ready to answer it after the teacher starts the conversation. Produce a speech by giving extended answers to the questions. Share your ideas with the class.

 

Teacher organizes a Socratic seminar, which helps him/her to assess learners while they are speaking on the topic ‘Entertainment and Media ‘and he/she  prepares and cuts down questions and expressions beforehand. Learners sit in a circle and answer the question using in their speech some formal and informal expressions to present logically connected information to their classmates.

Stating an opinion Asking for an opinion Expressing agreement Expressing disagreement Interrupting
The way I see it….. What’s your idea? I agree with you 100 percent. I’d say the exact opposite. Can I add something here?
If you want my honest opinion….. How do you feel about that? You are absolutely right. I totally disagree. If I might add something…..
As far as I’m concerned…. What are your thoughts on all of this? I was just going to say that No, I’m not so sure about that Is it okay if I jump in for a second?
If you ask me……. Wouldn’t you say? I have to side with smb (name)on this one I beg to differ Sorry to interrupt, but…
In my opinion……. What do you think? No doubt about it. Not necessarily Can I throw my two cents in?

These are some Socratic Seminar Ground Rules:

1. Speak so that all students can hear you.

2. Ask for clarification. Don’t stay confused.

Aimee: Hey, Katie, did you hear that Australia are rejoining the Eurovision Song Contest?

Katie: I did. It's a really big news. Really big news.

Aimee: So can you tell us a little bit about Eurovision? What is it exactly?

Katie: Eurovision is basically a music competition that happens every year in May. And countries from all over Europe have an entry in the competition.

Aimee: Right.

Katie: So big, big music singing competition.

Aimee: And it's Euro…

Katie: Eurovision, yeah.

Aimee: Okay.

Katie: Eurovision, and yeah, every single country in Europe send somebody to sing in the competition.

Katie: And all of Europe watches it, and all of Europe votes for a winner, and it's huge. It's huge.

Aimee: It does sound huge, continental competition.

Katie: Big battle with music.

Aimee: And where is it usually hosted?

Katie: It's hosted in the country of the previous year's winner.

Aimee: Right. So this year then, do you know where it was?

Katie: I don't remember who won it last year, but the previous year, two years ago, it was won by someone from Austria.

Aimee: Okay.

Katie: So last year, the competition was in Austria.

Aimee: Right. That sounds like a wonderful event for the hosting country.

Katie: Yeah. And I'm from the UK, and the UK hasn't won it in such a long time. And I really, really want to win because I wanted to go and see a live Eurovision competition.

Aimee: Right. So over the – you mentioned that you're such a big fan. Over the Eurovision history, do you have any personal highlights?

Katie: Probably my favorite entry was from ages and ages ago, before I was even born by an English entry called Bucks Fizz.

Aimee: Okay.

Katie: They were really awesome. They were singing a great song, and then suddenly, halfway through the song, the boys ripped the girls' skirt off.

Aimee: Oh.

Katie: Not that way. But they were wearing a long dress and then they were suddenly wearing a skirt. And it was amazing.

Aimee: They kind of costume changed then.

Katie: Yeah, costume change.

Aimee: Okay.

Katie: And it happened in the '70s, I think, '70s or

Aimee: '80s, maybe?

Katie: Yeah. And at that time, it was probably the most exciting entry in Eurovision ever.

Aimee: Oh really.

Katie: It's very exciting.

Aimee: A real shock.

Katie: Real shock. A bigcostume change, big drama.

Aimee: And how was the song?

Katie: Eh. The song was okay. No one remembers the song. Everyone remembers the skirts.

Aimee: Okay. So I take it, they didn't win then?

Katie: I don't think so.

Aimee: Did they?

Katie: I don't, I don't know. I can't remember. Also, I remember the costumes but not if they won or not.

Aimee: Yeah. Not the song.

Katie: Isn't that funny?

Aimee: Costumes, too are important.

Tapescript 3.

Interviewer: Good morning. Today we’re going to talk about theme parks and we’re going to hear from Andy Wells who has written a guide to theme parks around the world. Welcome to the programme, Andy.
Andy: Hi, it’s good to be here.
Interviewer: You really have a dream job, don’t you, Andy? Flying round the world all the time, visiting adventure parks...
Andy: Well, yes, it’s pretty exciting. But it’s really hard work too, you know.
Interviewer: I bet. So, what’s the number one theme park in the world?
Andy: That all depends what you’re looking for. In terms of numbers, it has to be Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Florida, the most famous theme park. But the most popular park for people who like adventure rides is Cedar Point in Ohio, USA. It has the biggest number of rollercoasters in one park, 17, and three water rides. There are lots of other attractions too. Last year they introduced 50 animatronic dinosaurs. You know, life-size models that move and look real.
Interviewer: Cool! Have they got anything lined up for this year?
Andy: Yeah, there’s a new rollercoaster called the Gatekeeper. Well, actually it’s not a rollercoaster, it’s a wingcoaster. It’ll be the biggest in the world.
Interviewer: What’s a wingcoaster?
Andy: With a normal rollercoaster you are sitting on a seat with the track under you. With a wingcoaster the seats kind of stick out at the side so the passengers have nothing below or above them. You feel as if you’re flying.
Interviewer: So it’s more frightening?
Andy: More exciting! Way more exciting.
Interviewer: What other attractions have you seen recently?
Andy: I’ve just been to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida. It’s great! You know those shops that sell magic sweets and things in the Harry Potter books? Well, they have those, just like you’ve imagined. There’s a fantastic tour of Hogwarts School where you meet characters from the books. It’s so well done.
Interviewer: Right, sounds interesting. In your book you have a lot of theme parks in Asia too. Can you tell us about them?
Andy: Sure. Tokyo has had a Disneyland for quite a long time, which attracts a lot of people. Ocean Park in Hong Kong has also been going for a long time – that has a lot of marine animals as well as rides. Lotte World, a huge park in South Korea, has the world’s biggest indoor theme park. And then there’s Universal Studios in Singapore. That’s expanding with additions to its New York street section. There’s going to be a Sesame Street dark ride. A dark ride’s a ride inside a building.
Interviewer: I see. New York in Singapore?
Andy: Yeah, it’s weird, but it works. But the place to watch at the moment is China – they’re really expanding. Lots more parks will open in China in the next few years, including another one with dinosaurs in the north, and Ocean Kingdom in the south. That will have the world’s longest roller coaster and tallest Ferris wheel, as well as boat rides and a night-time zoo.
Interviewer: Wow, so that’s opening soon?
Andy: Yes, this year. I’ll be there!
Interviewer: Have a ride for me, then.

Tapescript 4

Todd: So, Marion, for people that go to Ireland, what's one place they really should visit?

Marion: Well, one of my favorite spots is called the Cliffs of Moher.

Todd: The Cliffs of Moher.

Marion: Yeah, and that's on the West Coast. It's quite near Galway, so it's a little bit to the south of Galway, I think.

Todd: OK, so it's near Galway.

Marion: Yeah.

Todd: OK.

Marion: That's a city on the West Coast of Ireland.

Todd: What is this place, the Cliffs of Moher?

Marion: The Cliffs of Moher are, as far as I know, are the tallest cliffs in Europe.

Todd: Really, the tallest?

Marion: Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Definitely the tallest cliffs in Ireland, but I'm quite sure that we have that distinction, that they're actually the tallest cliffs in the whole of Europe.

Todd: Wow. That's pretty cool. (Yeah) So when you go to these cliffs, what can you do? Can you climb down them, or?

Marion: No, you can't. (What) I think if you tried, you might end up in the water and you may never get up again.

Todd: You serious?

Marion: Yeah, it's quite scary. When I went there for the first time, I was quite young, and I went with my mother and brother and uncle, and I remember my mother was holding my hand, and my brother, who was younger than me, was of course more brave than I was, so he was going right up the edge, and looking over and leaning out and I was really, really scared because at that time, there was no barrier to keep you from falling in, so yeah, really, really scary.

Todd: I bet. So when you go to the Cliffs of Moher is it really windy, does it rain a lot?

Marion: Yeah, it's quite windy because you're right on the edge of Europe, basically you're facing the Atlantic ocean, which can get quite turbulent, there so you can see the waves crashing up against the cliffs. That's if you lean over of course. There's a flat area of rock where many tourists kind of lie on their stomachs and inch their way up to the edge and then they look over, but I was too scared when I went. I couldn't do it. I thought for sure I'd fall over and die.

Todd: So assuming that someone goes to Ireland and they go to Dublin, they fly into Dublin, how will they get to the Cliffs of Moher?

Marion: Um, pretty easily. Actually, from Dublin you have the choice of going either by train, directly across to Galway, then from Galway, you would need to take a bus, so you could go from Dublin to Galway by bus as well, but the train is probably more comfortable and then it would be a shortish bus ride to the Cliffs of Moher, but obviously in Ireland, you're best bet is really to hire a car if you can.

Todd: OK. Well, sounds like a good place to go. Thanks Marion.

Marion: No problem.
