TRANSCRIPT - ENGLISH 10
PART 1
You will hear part of a radio with David Barns, the director of a company that is building a new shopping mall. Complete the notes.
Journalist: Mr. Barn, I wonder if I could start with some practical information. I know construction is set to begin next month: when do you expect to finish, and what do you think the total cost of Whitesea Mall will be?
David Barns: I'm going to stick my neck out and say we'll meet the original targets, which is to have the mall open by July next year. As for the costs, well, again our estimate was twelve billion pounds, and I'm pretty confident the final cost will not exceed that.
Journalist: Right... And what are the investors getting for that sort of money? I mean, what's going to make this place special? What will attract customers to the mall?
David Barns: Oh, lots of things! For a start, there's a new train station being built right next to the mall, so people will be able to reach us from the city centre in under 20 minutes. The underground car park has room for 3,000 vehicles, and we're just off the motorway, which will mean easy access for customers living up to 100kms from the mall. On top of that, we've put in a great deal of thought into how to make shopping easier for families with small children. One excellent idea we have is to provide nurseries - three of them in fact - so people can leave toddlers in completely safe hands while they do their shopping.
Journalist: I see... And I understand you have the usual wide range of shopping facilities. But don't you need other attractions to persuade people to come here?
David Barns: That's certainly true, and we've done a great deal to provide those other attractions. There's a fairground in one corner of the mall, where qualified staff can supervise children while their parents are doing their shopping in peace! For people who aren't actually shopping, we have seven cinemas showing a good range of modern films, including the latest releases. We also came up with an idea for the older folk, because lots of families these days have grandparents living with them. In one of the cinemas we have classic films - from 40 to 50 years ago - twice a day, morning and afternoon.
Journalist: I read in your press statement that you're also trying to make the place "greener". Could you tell me a bit about that?
David Barns: Sure. People have become very demanding and prefer malls that have an open, airy atmosphere. So we have walkaways between the different buildings, with flowers lining the parts, giving the impression that you're actually outdoors. And we're building a Nature Centre, where we'll have a permanent exhibition about the ecology of the area. We're going to have models, photographs and displays to inform people about the wildlife of the area.
Journalist: Right... Well, thanks for talking to me, Mr. Barn.
David Barns: You're very welcome.
PART 2:
You will hear a conversation between a student and a job advisor. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5

Student: I'm in one of the Halls of Residence for post-graduate students, you know, International House.
Agent: OK - that's easy. What's your room number there?
Student: Room B569 - no sorry B659. I always get that wrong. I haven't been living there very long.
Agent: Do you have any other skills? Typing, languages, that sort of thing?
Student: Well, I speak some Japanese.
Agent: Right, I'll make a note of that. Now - let's see what else is available. What do you think of administrative work? There's a possible position for an Office Assistant at the English Language Center.
Student: That sounds interesting.
Agent: It's for 3 days a week - Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings. Interested?
Student: I was hoping to have Saturday free. But I need the work so...can you tell me what the job involves?
Agent: Yes, sure. It says here that you'll be required to deal with student enquiries and answer the phone.
Student: I'm sure I can handle all that without a problem.
Agent: Great. Well, would you like me to arrange an interview for you? Say, Friday morning, around ten?
Student: Could we make it a bit later? Unfortunately, I've got something to do at ten. Would that be OK?
Agent: Not a problem. How about eleven thirty? Hope it works out for you Anita.
Student: Me too. And thanks for all your help.
PART 3:
You will hear a presentation given by a sport science student on her project on left and right – handedness in sport. Now listen carefully and answer question 1 to 5
My topic is handedness - whether in different sports it is better to be left - or right-sided or whether a more balanced approach is more successful. I'm left-handed myself and I actually didn't see any relevance to my own life when I happened to start reading an article by a sports psychologist called Peter Matthews. He spent the first part of the article talking about handedness in music instead of sport, which I have to say almost put me off from reading further. But what I soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both observation and investigation he had done in many different sports and I felt persuaded that what he had to say would be of real interest. I think Matthew's findings will be beneficial, not so much in helping sportspeople to work on their weaker side, but more that they can help them identify the most suitable strategies to use in a given game. Although most trainers know how important handedness is, at present they are rather reluctant to make use of the insights scientists like Matthew can give, which I think is rather short- sighted because focusing on individual flexibility is only part of the story.
Anyway, back to the article.
Matthews found a German study which looked at what he called "mixed handedness", that is, the capacity to use both left and right hands equally. It looked at mixed-handedness in 40 musicians on a variety of instruments. Researchers examined a number of variables, e.g. type of instrument played, regularity of practice undertaken and length of time playing instrument... and found the following: keyboard players had high levels of mixed - handedness, whereas string players like cellists and violinists strongly favoured one hand. Also those who started younger were more mixed-handed.
Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by "fishing"
ants from ant hills. The studies show that apes, like humans, show handedness - though for them right- and left-handedness is about equal, whereas about 85% of humans are right-handed. Studies show that apes consistently using the same hand fished out 30% more ants than those varying between the two.
