Trang 3LISTENING TRANSCRIPT
John: Erm hello Professor, I’m John Wishart I’m working on my entry for the Global Design
Competition My tutor said you might be able to help me with it
Professor: Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings Come in and tell me about it What sort of
competition is it?
John: Well, it’s an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for
a typical domestic kitchen appliances.
Professor: I see, and are there any special conditions? Does it have to save energy for example? John: Actually that was the focus in last year’s competition This year’s different We have to adopt
an innovative approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before
Professor: I see, that sounds tricky And what kitchen appliance have you chosen?
John: Well, I decided to choose dishwasher.
Professor: Interesting, what made you choose that?
John: Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost identical to each other I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks different.
Professor: That’s a nice a day I see you’ve called your design’ the Rockpool’, why is that?
John: Basically because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach The top is made of glass so
that you can look down into it
Professor: And there’s a stone at the bottom Is that just for decoration? John: Actually it does have
a function Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.
Professor: So it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher.
John: That’s right.
Professor: It’s really a nice design, but what makes it innovative?
John: Well, I decided to make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide.
Professor: In place of water and detergent? How will you manage that?
John: The idea is to pressurise the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid The fluid is the
released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself
Professor: Sounds like a brilliant idea! Your system will totally do away with the need for strong
detergents So what happens once the dishes are clean?
John: Well, to allow them to dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber That’s where the liquid is depressuired and so it reverts to a gas.
Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent to the waste system
Professor: It sounds like you’ve thought it all out very thoroughly So, what happens to the carbon
dioxide once the process is complete? Not wasted I hope
John: Actually , that’s where the real savings are made The carbon dioxide is sent back to the cylinder and can be used again and again.
Professor: What a terrific idea Do you think it will ever be built?
John: Probably not, but that’s OK.
Professor: Well, I’m sure a lot of positive things will come out of your design.
Part 2: Listen to a talk and decide if these statements are True (T) or False (F) Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes.
Speaker 1 I decided to study history - I want to be a lecturer one day When you want to do a degree,
say in pharmacy, there's little difference in content between universities, I think. But history at one university can be very different to history at another, so I had to do some research about the three colleges where I might've wanted to study I'd heard good things about Dundee university, and they
Trang 4all proved correct I'm from Ireland and I got to study Irish history, plus a focus on the European Union I've been so busy, I've had no time to enjoy student parties, but that'll come, I'm sure
Speaker 2 I'd always thought I wanted to study medicine, but the college I wanted to go to only had
twenty places and I didn't get a place That was disappointing and I even thought I might take a year out, but then I had second thoughts about my choice of subject and went for nursing I'm now at Sheffield Hallam college, which is linked to a variety of hospitals and isn't too far away from home - though far enough for me to be independent People who'd gone there told me it was really good and the tutors had time for you The course is brilliant and there's a friendly campus atmosphere
Speaker 3 I'm studying for a degree in French at Sussex University It's a part-time course, very few
students would want to study part-time for a first degree, of course. Part-time study is mainly for people like me, who have other responsibilities - I work mornings in a school, and I'm keen to keep it that way I'm learning a lot, though it's been different to what I expected - I thought it was going to
be easier! Unlike me, full-time students live in accommodation on the campus, and I hear wonderful stories about the great parties they organize They say I don't know what I'm missing, but I don't mind, really
Speaker 4 Psychology was always my choice of degree subject I studied it at school and soon
realised it was what I wanted to do at university My parents tried hard, but failed, to make me change my mind - they said I was making the wrong choice and that I wouldn't be able to make a living But I love it I'm interested in social psychology, how people interact - it's fascinating, and I know I'll be able to find work easily I'm at Coventry University, living in student accommodation, which is very convenient Coventry is really student-oriented and the teachers are very friendly And
my brother lives only twenty minutes away, so I see him often
Speaker 5 I'm studying geography at Swansea University, because I love this area I came the first
day thinking, what if I find out the course isn't what I wanted? But it's amazing, the department is really good and what really does it-for me is that it's been brilliant in other ways - pretty much every weekend there's a chance for students to go out There's a group of us who knew each other from school and we're all starting together I'm still living at home, but I hope to be able to do some part-time work and rent a small flat with a couple of friends next year
Part 3: Complete the note below Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
An interesting aspects of fireworks is that their history tells us a lot about the changing roles of scientist and technicians on Europe Fireworks were introduced from China in 13th century Up to the 16th century they were generally used for military purposes, with rockets and fire tubes being thrown at the enemy, but they were also sometimes a feature of plays and festivals where their chief
purpose was related to religion.
By the 17th century, the rules of Europe had started using fireworks as a way of marking royal
occasions Technicians were employed to stage spectacular shows which displayed aspects of nature, with representations of the sun, snow, and rain These shows were designed for the
enjoyment of the nobility and to impress ordinary people But fireworks also aroused the interest of scientists, who started to think of new uses for them After seeing one fireworks display where a model of a dragon was propelled along a rope by rockets scientists thought that in a similar way,
Trang 5humans might be able to achieve flight – a dream of many scientists at the time Other scientists,
such as the chemist Robert Boyle, noticed how in displays one firework might actually light another, and it occurred to him that fireworks might provide an effective way of demonstrating how stars were formed
Scientists at the time often depend on the royal courts for patronage, but there was considerable variation in the relationships between the courts and scientists in different countries This was reflected in attitudes towards fireworks and the purposes for which they were used In London in the middle of the 17th century there was general distrust of fireworks among scientists However, later in
the century scientists and technicians started to look at the practical purposes for which fireworks
might be employed, such as using rockets to help sailors establish their position at sea
It was a different story in Russia, where the St Petersburg Academy of Science played a key role in creating fireworks displays for the court Here, those in power regarded fireworks as being an
important element in the education of the masses, and the displays often included a scientific
message Members of the Academy hoped that this might encourage the Royal Family to keep the Academy open at a time when many in the government were considering closing it
In Paris, the situation was different again The Paris Academy of Sciences played no role on staging fireworks displays Instead the task fell to members of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture
As in Russia, the work of the technicians who created the fireworks and spectacle they created were all designed to encourage the public to believe in the supreme authority of the king However, science was also enormously popular among the French nobility, and fashionable society flocked to demonstrations such as Nicolas Lemery’s display representing an erupting volcano The purpose of
scientists was basically to offer entertainment to fashionable society, and academicians delighted in
amazing audiences with demonstrations of the universal laws of nature
In the course of the 18th century, the circulation of skills and technical exchange led to further developments Fireworks specialists from Italy began to travel around Europe staging displays for many of the European courts The architect and stage designer Giovanni Servandoni composed grand displays in Paris, featuring colorfully painted temples and triumphal arches A fireworks display staged by Servandoni would be structured in the same way as an opera, and was even divided into separated acts Italian fireworks specialists were also invited to perform in London, St Petersburg and Moscow
As these specialists circulated around Europe, they sought to exploit the appeal of fireworks for a wider audience, including the growing middle classes As in the previous century, fireworks provided resources for demonstrating scientific laws and theories, as well as new discoveries, and
displays now showed a fascinated public the curious phenomenon of electricity By the mid-18th
century, fireworks were being sold for private consumption
So the history of fireworks shows us the diverse relationships which existed between scientists, technicians and the rest of society
