Trang 4TAPESCRIPT PART 1
Mrs Blake: Hello?
Conor: Oh, hello I’m ringing about the advertisement in yesterday’s newspaper… the one for
the bookcases can you tell me if They’re still available?
Mrs Blake: We’ve sold one, but we still have two available.
Conor: Right Err… can you tell me a bit about them?
Mrs Blake: Sure, er what do you want to know?
Conor: Well, I’m looking for something to tit in my study, so well, I’m not too worried about
the height, but the width’s quite important Can you tell me how wide each of them is?
Mrs Blake: They’re both exactly the same size let me see I’ve got the details written down somewhere Yes so they’re both 75 cm wide [1] and 180 cm high.
Conor: OK fine, that should fit m OK And I don’t want anything that looks too severe… not
made of metal, for example I was really looking for something made of wood? [2]
Mrs Blake: That’s all right, they are, both of them [2]
Conor: So are they both the same price as well?
Mrs Blake: No, I he first bookcase is quite a bit cheaper It’s just ?15 [3] We paid ?60 for it just
five years ago, so it’s very good value It’s in perfectly good condition, they’re both in very good condition in fact, but the first one isn’t the same quality as the other one It’s a good sturdy bookcase, it used to be in my son’s room, but it could do with a fresh coat of paint…
Conor: Oh, it’s painted?
Mrs Blake: Yes, it’s cream at present [4], but as I say you could easily change that if you
wanted to fit in with your colour scheme
Conor: Yes I’d probably paint it white if I got it Let’s see, what else… how many shelves has
it got?
Mrs Blake: Six two of them are fixed, and the other four are adjustable [5] so you can shift
them up and down according to the sizes of your books
Conor: Right, fine Well, that certainly sounds like a possibility.
PART 2:
Sami: Dr Barrett?
Tutor: Sami, come in Is Irene with you?
Irene: Yes.
Tutor: Good Sit down Right, we’re looking at how far you’ve got with your research project
since we last met You decided to do a survey about computer facilities at the university, didn’t you?
Irene: That’s right We decided to investigate the university’s open access centres, and in
particular the computer facilities Lots of the students are having trouble getting access to a computer when they need one, so we thought it would be a useful area to research
Tutor: Good Fine It’s not a topic anyone has looked at before, as far as I know, so it’s a good
choice So what background reading did you do?
Trang 5Sami: Well, we looked in the catalogues in the library but we couldn’t find much that was
useful – it’s such a specialized subject, hardly anything seems to have been published about it…
Irene: And as well as that, the technology is all changing so quickly.
Sami: But the open access centre has an online questionnaire on computer use that it asks all the
students to do at the end of their first year, and the supervisor gave us access to that data, so we used it as a starting point for our research It wasn’t exactly what we needed, but it gave us an idea of what we wanted to find out in our survey Then we designed our own questionnaire
Tutor: And how did you use it?
Irene: We approached students individually and went through our questionnaire with them on a
one-to-one basis
Tutor: So you actually asked them the questions?
Irene: That’s right We made notes of the answers as we went along, and actually we found we
got a bit of extra information that may as well – about the underlying attitudes of the people we were interviewing – by observing the body language and things like that
Tutor: How big is your sample?
Sami: Well, altogether we interviewed a random sample of 65 students, 55% male and 45%
female
Tutor: And what about the locations and times of the survey?
Sami: We went to the five open access computer centres at the university, and we got about
equal amounts of data at each one It took us three weeks We did it during the week, in the day and in the evenings
Tutor: Not the weekend?
Sami: No.
Tutor: So presumably your respondents were mostly full-time students?
Sami: Yes… Oh, you mean we should have collected some data at the weekends, from the
part-time students? We don’t think of that
Tutor: OK It’s just an example of how difficult it is to get a truly random sample So how far
have you got with the analysis of results?
Irene: Well, everyone agreed there was a problem, but we’re more interested in what they think
should be done about it The most popular suggestion was for some sort of booking system About 77% of the students thought that would be best But there were other suggestions; for example, about 65% of people thought it would help if the opening hours were longer, like 24 hours a day
PART 3:
Interviewer: Jed Stone's best known now for his talented as a garden designer - but he
and his wife Helena ran a highly successful jewellery business in the nineteen nineties, which brought them fame and high living Then they lost
it all and some years later, bought a derelict house which they renovated and now together they've created a garden They join me in the studio today You do seem to do most things in partnership, like the jewellery business, but using Jed's name Why's that? Helena?
Helena: Well, this is a bit of a bone of contention, actually We have a friend in PR
Trang 6who said, "You have a great name, Jed Stone People would pay a fortune for such a good name." But, sadly, at the time, it never crossed my mind that
I wouldn't get the credit for what we do, and that does get to me sometimes -but, there again, I'm very bad at putting myself forward People see Jed as a figurehead, which is fine, actually, because I don't enjoy being recognized or get any thrill out of that, whereas Jed loves it
Interviewer: Is that right, Jed?
Jed: Obviously, I'd love to say, "No, I don't," but yeah, I do Even as a child, I
thought it must be marvelous to walk down a street and have people know who you were Ironically, that's the worst of it now It would be nice just to
go and buy a paper without somebody saying something But I suppose I do like being a public figure It gives me a sense that I've done something people appreciate It doesn't stop me doing anything, but it does modify how
I do it
Interviewer: But Helena, you did appear on our television screens briefly as a presenter
on The Travel Show That must have been a dream job, travelling around
the world?
Helena: Actually, I thought I was being heroic taking that job I'd actually rather
have gone down a coal mine It was ironic really, because Jed adores travelling, whilst I hate it The timing was critical though; I mean, we were living in this derelict house We'd knocked huge holes in the walls to make windows and we could hardly afford to get the job finished and I wanted to
be there when it was done So I genuinely didn't want to do the job they were offering, but I felt I had no choice because, apart from anything else, it would provide us with a reasonable income
Interviewer: So what about this jewel garden? Did you have a clear idea of what you
wanted to do when you bought the house?
Jed: Not at all In fact, we were provoked into action I was giving a lecture on
gardening and I was including some snaps of our own wilderness to show what certain plans looked like But these photos hadn't loaded onto my laptop properly, and you couldn't see a thing So I started to make it up -describing this jewel garden with magical colours - It came straight out of
my imagination, it hadn't been a long-term plan or anything Anyway, as soon as I'd finished, these journalists came rushing up saying, "We must come and take pictures of your jewel garden." And I heard myself replying,
"Fine, but come when the colours are good, don't come now." To cut a long story short, we had make the jewel garden before they came, and actually,
we did ninety per cent of the work that summer That was out incentive!
Interviewer: And why did you call it a "jewel garden"? Having read about the disasters
with the jewellery business, one would have thought you wouldn't want the word "jewel" in your house at all
Helena: Well, I'd like to work on projects and if you have a project where you're
thinking only of jewel colours then that starts to limit you, and design is all
Trang 7about reduction Really it was just a good, positive way of tackling what plants we were putting in, and the way we were going to design the garden, wasn't it, Jed?
Jed: Yeah But for me it was also partly a metaphor, it's making something
worthwhile out of a failure We did spend years doing the jewellery and it wasn't all disastrous; there were good things about it too and we wanted to salvage them and treasure them It seemed a waste not to take that bit of our lives and to somehow incorporate it into our new design venture - to take the bad experience and use it in a creative way
Interviewer: Jed and Helena, thank you for telling us about it today.
PART 4
There really is no single definition of "business attire" these days The era of "Big Business" with fine clothes and tailored suits is largely gone, except in white-shoe firms There's a lot of freedom in tossing out the starched, buttoned-up conformity of yesteryear But what replaces it? What are we supposed to wear to work? A young defense lawyer might wear jeans and a T-shirt in the office while reviewing case files, but keep a dark suit hanging nearby for going to court or meeting a client
Bankers are besuited; techy-types in all industries tend to dress down (same here at Newsy) Our 21st century workwear conundrum isn't new, but it's trending more casual Before World War II, men wore suits — often double-breasted — and hats (yes, hats were a necessity) Women wore dresses that managed to rise above the ankle, and complemented their attire with matching hats, gloves, bags and shoes
Interesting fact: Before the war, 50% of all men’s suits were double-breasted, but by the end of the 1940s they made up only 12% Wartime cloth restrictions were the reason
In the 1950s, much of the style was the same, but men's suits went from loose-fitting to
"skinny."
The 1960s and 1970s mixed things up a bit Enter the pantsuit for women Patterns and colors got bolder The traditional men's suit stuck around, but some guys started showing up in Nehru jackets and something called the "leisure suit."
The 1980s introduced something called "business casual," thanks to Silicon Valley It originally meant khaki pants, sensible shoes and button-down collared shirts (The collars were critical.)
Today, defining "business casual" is almost impossible Is it a T-shirt? Jeans? A hoodie? A Zara jacket? What's proper "business casual" for one business just won’t do in another The Atlantic grappled with this and says the casual workplace can be traced to a "results oriented" business culture rather than
a "process-oriented" culture obsessed with employees' looks — a change that also can be traced to the tech industry
Case in point: Mark Zuckerberg's gray T-shirt and gray hoodie The Facebook founder explained: "I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community."
Yes, there are exceptions to the casual workplace Some businesses are still creased and pleated and tailored But lots of us are left to suss out the appropriateness of unpressed pants and Allbirds, which don't go so well with shoulder pads, and the rules really aren't clear Bottom line: Dressing for success is
as hard to define as business casual
