LISTENING TRANSCRIPTS

PART 1.

Woman: Scope charity office, how can I help you?

Man: Oh hello I’m ringing about the Dragon Boat Race that you’re asking people to take

Woman: Oh yes, we still need a few more teams Are you interested in joining the race? Man: Yes, we want to enter a team but we don’t know anything about it? Could I ask you for

some more information first?

Woman: Of course.

Man: I don’t even know when it’s being held.

Woman: It’s taking place on the 2nd July [1].

Man: Is that a Saturday?

Woman: No, it’s a Sunday [1] It’s a much more popular day and more people can take part

then

Man: Right And where’s it being held?

Woman: At the Brighton Marina [2].

Man: Oh, I’m an overseas student Could you spell that for me?

Woman: Yes, it’s Brighton Marina, that’s M-A-R-I-N-A [2] Do you know where it is?

Man: I’m not sure.

Woman: It’s a couple of miles past the Palace Pier.

Man: Oh yes, I know it.

Woman: You take a right turning off the coast road or you can cycle along the seafront Man: That’s good What time does the race start?

Woman: Well, the first heats begin at 10.00am – but you need to register half an hour before that – at 9.30 [3] and we really recommend that you aim to be there by 9 It’s a good idea to

arrange a meeting place for your team

Man: Right … And the race is to help raise money for charity?

Woman: It is We’re asking every team member to try and raise ?35 by getting friends

and/or relatives to sponsor them Every crew member will receive a free tournament t-shirt if

your team manages to raise 1,000 or more [4].

Man: Oh that’s quite good.

Woman: Also we’re holding a raffle — every crew member who takes part in the race this

season will be entered into a free prize draw

Man: Oh, what’s the prize?

Woman: It’s pretty good – it’s a holiday in Hong Kong [5].

Man: Sounds great!

PART 2.

Interviewer: My guest today is Charles Duke, one of the few people to have walked on the

moon as part of an Apollo mission Charles, welcome to the studio Have you always been hooked on space travel?

Charles: Quite frankly, as a kid, it’d never entered my head [1] There wasn’t even a space programme when I was young so there weren’t any astronauts

Interviewer: What about science fiction films at the cinema?

Charles: I’d seen them, of course I used to wonder what space travel might be like – but it

was never what you might describe as a fascination – if you follow me

Interviewer: So, how did it all come about?

Charles: It was at the Naval Academy.

Interviewer: Not in the Air Force?

Charles: No, but I was a navy pilot I had fallen in love with planes and nothing else would

do And that gave me the opportunity to start – to get selected for the astronaut programme

Interviewer: Presumably by then they were talking about putting rockets into space?

Charles: Absolutely.

Interviewer: And how did you find the training?

Charles: I suppose the lunar surface training in the spacesuit was physically demanding in a

way

Interviewer: Quite uncomfortable, I imagine.

Charles: It’s not what you might expect Once the spacesuits get inflated, it gets very rigid.

You had to fight to bend your arms and move your fingers inside the gloves

Interviewer: And how long did you spend inside it?

Charles: Around four to five hours But actually, the most challenging part was worrying

about how to handle the simulator because we needed to know how to land and then take off

on the moon [2]

Interviewer: I don’t think I could have coped with that!

Charles: I’m not sure I did But if you did something wrong, you were in trouble and we

often spent eight hours a day trying to learn what to do!

Interviewer: So how did you feel when you first heard that you were actually going to the

moon?

Charles: I suppose you’re expecting me to say ‘exhilarated’ But I knew there were lots of

‘ifs’ – it would happen if they didn’t cancel the programme, if I didn’t get sick and so on So

I stopped doing all the dangerous sports I was involved in

Interviewer: So you knew you had one chance and if you blew it, you wouldn’t get another? Charles: That just about sums it up!

Interviewer: And when you eventually got there, what impact did it have on you? Landing

or

the moon, I mean!

Charles: When we saw the moon for the first time from about 1500 meters, we recognise the

landmarks but, as we got closer, we saw that the spot we were going to Ian on was very rough – big rocks and craters – so we panicked a bit And the more we tried to maneuver and the closer we got, the more moon dust we blew out

Interviewer: But you landed safely?

Charles: Eventually, yeah We were six hours late So when we touched down, we erupted

with enthusiasm We shook hands and hugged each other [3]

Interviewer: Not an easy feat in spacesuits.

Charles: [laughs] No, indeed But after that we had to rest for a certain period, we got

outside for the very first time

Interviewer: You must have been terrified.

Charles: We had no sense of fear about stepping off the ladder onto the moon We just

jumped off and started bouncing around like lambs in a field in springtime

Interviewer: And when you saw the lunar landscape, did it live up to your expectations? Charles: What struck me most, apart from its awesome attraction, was its desolation [4] The sky was jet black You felt as if you could reach out and touch it There were no stars and the sun was shining all the time

Interviewer: And what went through your mind at that moment?

Charles: The fact that it was so untouched The fact that nobody had ever been to that

particular spot before kept returning It was simply breathtaking

Interviewer: And do you have a favourite memory of the mission?

Charles: Definitely It was the thing that we did during the last moonwalk We were about

six kilometres or so from the base, and on the edge of a big crater, 100 metres deep We had

to be careful as we walked along the ridge because one slip would have been dangerous Suddenly we saw this huge rock It was a long way off, and there are no people or cars to judge distances or give you any sense of scale

Interviewer: But you managed to get down to it?

Charles: Eventually It was enormous The biggest rock anybody had ever touched on the

moon I had a hammer and I hit a chunk of it – and it came off in my hand – a piece the size

of a small melon [5]

Interviewer: A different kind of souvenir! So do you think we should go back? What’s the

reason for investing all this time and money in the space race anyway?

Charles: Oh, it’s the prime place for a scientific base…

PART 3

Maggie: Hi, I'm Maggie

Mr Jarvis: I'm sorry?

Maggie: Maggie Brown I'm the mother of Billy I was told you would be here You're his

English teacher, aren't you?

Mr Jarvis: Oh, of course Billy's mother Hi, nice to meet you Yes, I wanted to speak to you

about Billy's work

Maggie: I hope there isn't a problem.

Mr Jarvis: Well, not exactly I think Billy has made some good improvements this year

compared to last year

Maggie: Well, of course Last year, we were new to the area You know, we moved here

from Los Angeles and it wasn't a very settled time for Billy, well all the family really So Billy probably didn't do his best work last year But I thought he had improved enormously this year That's the case, isn't it?

Mr Jarvis: As I was saying, I think Billy most certainly HAS improved a lot since last year.

I just think there are one or two other things he needs to work on so I wanted to have a chat with you this evening

Maggie: Well, I'm sure he's been doing his very best You know, he's only 12 and it's not

easy when

Mr Jarvis: yes, yes, certainly Mrs Brown Part of what I wanted to say to you tonight is

that Billy's work has been much better We put a story that he wrote back in March in the school newspaper Did you see it?

Maggie: I can't believe it! I never had any idea He's such a modest boy He would never

show me anything like that

Mr Jarvis: Oh, really? I'm surprised you never got to see it It really was a well crafted

piece of writing Very mature article considering the age of Billy

Maggie: Well, I don't know what to say but, you said he was having problems?

Mr Jarvis: He is still having enormous difficulties with his spelling and it concerns me.

Maggie: Yes, Billy has always been pretty weak with his spelling We have tried at home to

help him His sister, Kathy, often spends time with him, testing him on words that he often gets wrong I'm sure that's helpful, isn't it?

Mr Jarvis: Oh yes, without a doubt And he's enjoying doing this extra spelling work at

home, isn't he?

Maggie: Yes, he knows it's important to be able to spell better But he's always had trouble

getting his words right you know, when he's writing You don't think there's anything more serious wrong with him, do you?

Mr Jarvis: I think it's possible he may have a mild form of dyslexia You've heard of

dyslexia, haven't you?

Maggie: Yes, of course I have But you're not seriously suggesting Billy has dyslexia, are

you?

Mr Jarvis: Dyslexia comes in many shapes and sizes of different severity I would like to

send him to see a specialist and I wanted to speak to you about it first This wouldn't be a problem for you, would it?

Maggie: No, of course not I'll do anything I can to help You've got me really worried now

though

Mr Jarvis: Oh Mrs Brown, it's nothing to worry about My own son had a mild form of

dyslexia when he was Billy's age and he's now a published author! Telephone the school office tomorrow morning and we can arrange an appointment for early next week

Maggie: Ok, thank you Mr Jarvis I'll telephone the office at 9 o'clock sharp.

Mr Jarvis: That'll be fine Now, have a good evening.

PART 4

Presenter: If I asked you what the difference is between animals and human beings, you

might think for a bit and then suggest something about the fact that humans can speak to each other using a language – or in some cases more than one language – and in a way you would be right But that is not the whole story by any means Many animals can communicate in surprisingly complicated ways, but they never quite achieve the range and depth of human languages At the simplest level, several kinds of insect, including bees, have been observed performing a special dance to tell each other where they can find nectar and pollen, which is their food [1]

This, of course, does not mean that they are using a ‘language’ but they are, all the same, communicating something Many people think that certain birds like parrots can speak, but this is in fact not true Such animals are only capable of copying the sounds of human speech [2] but have no understanding of these sounds and generally use them at the wrong time There is also no apparent logic in the way they select what to copy either On the other hand, monkeys, apes and other primates are capable of communicating a small number of basic ideas using a range of simple sounds [3] that are recognised by other members of their social group Unfortunately, though, none of the groups of monkeys observed so far have developed any form of grammar and so we cannot call this a language [4] However, some apes, chimpanzees in particular, can be trained to understand and respond to certain spoken commands by humans, but so far none have attempted to copy our speech Now there is one kind of animal that does just this, although not many people can understand what they are saying Dolphins have different shaped mouths to humans and as a result they are unable to make all the sounds that we can make They can manage the vowel sounds ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’,

‘u’ and so on, but lack the necessary voice equipment to reproduce our consonants [5] Thus,

a simple phrase like ‘Hello, how are you?’ becomes ‘e – o – ah – u’ But what makes these noises more amazing is that dolphins do show awareness of when to use such phrases and in this sense, are actually trying to communicate with humans [6]

But by far, the most remarkable form of animal communication are the ‘songs’ of whales These are fast clicking and squeaking noises that whales make underwater and the sounds themselves actually contain more information than human speech [7] Scientists have noticed that some whales repeat certain long phrases of sounds, and this is in fact why they are called songs Of particular interest is a species called the ‘bottle-nosed’ whale whose songs have many of the characteristics of human speech [8] But at the end of the day, we are the only species that have developed proper grammatical languages and most experts now agree that this is because of the large communities that we live in [9] – where a child growing up can hear hundreds of different examples of his or her language being spoken every day If, for any reason, a young child does not get enough contact with other people between the ages of one and four, he or she may never fully develop the power of speech [10] One can imagine that if whales or dolphins did start living in large communities then well…
