MAN:

Hello, Stainford College External Course Registration, can I help you?

WOMAN:

Yeah, I'm ringing to find out about one-day classes next year.

WOMAN:

I got a leaflet about them in the post, but I lost it

WOMAN:

and I understand some of the classes are filling up fast, so

WOMAN:

I might need to book quite soon if I want to go ahead.

MAN:

Sure.

MAN:

Can you remember which one you were considering?

WOMAN:

There were a few, actually.

WOMAN:

I remember there was one on how to make Vietnamese food that

WOMAN:

sounded good.

WOMAN:

I think that was on the 13th of January.

WOMAN:

It cost about £60.

MAN:

Yes, you're right about the date, but it's £59, actually.

MAN:

It's a very popular class, and among other things, the teacher explains

MAN:

how Vietnamese food includes lots of different herbs.

MAN:

I'm afraid that all the places are taken at present, but I

MAN:

can put you on the waiting list if you want?

WOMAN:

No, that's okay.

WOMAN:

I'm quite interested in the bread-making class.

WOMAN:

That's in March sometime, isn't it?

MAN:

Yeah, the 20th of March.

MAN:

Would you like to register for that?

WOMAN:

I'm not sure.

WOMAN:

How much is it?

MAN:

The actual cost is £48, but then there's an extra charge as

MAN:

well as that for the ingredients.

MAN:

I'm not sure how much that is,

MAN:

no more than twenty pounds, I think.

WOMAN:

So what sorts of things do they make in the class?

MAN:

Oh, various types of bread.

MAN:

I think they make white bread, and then they make sourdough.

MAN:

That seems to be very fashionable at present,

MAN:

and they learn how to make pizza, which is apparently really good.

WOMAN:

Well, I'd definitely be interested in that, but there were also a

WOMAN:

few other classes that sounded interesting.

WOMAN:

I think there was one on face massage.

WOMAN:

I'd love to learn how to do that.

MAN:

Yeah, that's on the 23rd of February, and it costs just £35

MAN:

for the day.

MAN:

The teacher's great.

MAN:

The type of massage done is a traditional technique used in India,

MAN:

and she actually did her training there.

MAN:

The massage is meant to relax you and get rid of lines and wrinkles.

MAN:

You practice it on yourself, so you have to take a mirror

MAN:

to the class so you can see what you're doing.

WOMAN:

OK.

WOMAN:

And I think there was a class in candle making?

MAN:

Yes, that's sometime in April, I think.

MAN:

Let me check.

MAN:

Yes, it's on the 6th.

MAN:

It was on the 23rd of January, but they had to change the date.

MAN:

It's just £52.

MAN:

That's a popular course, too.

MAN:

I think one reason why people like it is because the candles

MAN:

are all made out of natural products.

MAN:

It's filling up fast, but there's still a few places left.

WOMAN:

Yes, one of my friends did that class.

WOMAN:

She said the candles make really good presents.

WOMAN:

In fact, she gave me one.

MAN:

Ah, by the way, have you heard about the class on silk painting?

MAN:

That's being held on the 18th of May.

MAN:

You learn how to create designs on silk fabric and colour them

MAN:

using special dyes.

MAN:

Apparently, people can produce beautiful artworks that way, either to put on

MAN:

the wall as a picture or to use for something like a scarf.

MAN:

It's £67.50, which is really good value, I think.

MAN:

There's a similar class I've seen that was £110.

WOMAN:

That sounds interesting.

WOMAN:

Would I need to bring the silk?

MAN:

No.

MAN:

The only thing is, everyone has to bring something to protect their

MAN:

clothing, like an apron if you've got one, or a shirt that

MAN:

you don't use anymore, because the dye can really stain your clothes.

WOMAN:

Right.

WOMAN:

Then the last class I was considering was a bit different.

WOMAN:

That was on DIY for beginners.

WOMAN:

I'd like to learn how to do household repairs.

WOMAN:

Are there any places left on that?

MAN:

That's on the 24th of February.

MAN:

Yes, there are a few places.

MAN:

It's a bit more expensive.

MAN:

It's £125, but it's a very popular class.

MAN:

You learn how to use an electric drill and a saw.

WOMAN:

Yeah, that would be really useful.

WOMAN:

And I even need to learn how to use a hammer, because

WOMAN:

I always end up hitting my fingers.

MAN:

Yes, you'll do that too.

MAN:

And when you've learned how to use the basic tools, you do

MAN:

a practical job, which is fixing a shelf to a wall.

WOMAN:

Great, just what I need to know.

Melby Coal Mine

Here is some information about history and nature walks in the region.

They can be completed in less than a day and also be

combined with a visit to Melby, a former coal mine now open

to the public.

The Marsden Coastal Walk is suitable for all the family as there

are no strenuous climbs.

The route begins at Marsden Harbour where there are hourly ferries to

and from the beautiful Hooker Island, a great place for fishing.

The walk covers part of the Coastal Path Trail.

As there are clear signposts all along the way, you don't even

need to take a map with you.

At one point, the route goes inland slightly and passes a castle

built in the 1400s, near to a now vanished market town.

The castle's now just a pile of stones, but it's a great

place to take photos and fascinating information boards show what it once

looked like.

If you set off early, you can be back in time for midday.

The Melby Heritage Walk is a great place to take photos, especially

of the night sky.

At certain times of the year, people come here from far and wide.

They climb to the top of the valley and take pictures of

the stars.

In the daytime, it's completely different.

As you hike through the dense woods in the valley bottom, the

only things you'll hear are the sound of your own footsteps.

At the highest point, you can stop to take in the views,

and those with lots of energy can climb the tower that's situated

where there was once a 17th century hunting lodge.

The route continues along the tops of the hills and brings you

back down to the starting point, the car park at Melby Coalmine.

Melby Coalmine has been open to the public for 20 years and

has won awards for its visitor experience.

Many of the buildings around the mine are still standing and have

been converted into display areas.

Firstly, there's an exhibition showing the history of the mine, with many

original black and white photos.

To see that, you go from the car park via a covered

walkway to the main visitor centre.

Go through the ticket office to an area where there are lockers

to leave heavy bags in, and where you can borrow raincoats.

Beyond that room is the exhibition.

There's a small bath house where miners used to wash after their

shift underground.

You can see that in the building directly to the north of

the engine house.

The boiler has gone from there now, but there are lines of

tin baths on the stone floor.

There's a display of early mining tools from the days before mechanisation.

You can find that in a small L-shaped building in the

middle of the northern boundary of the site.

It's incredible to think how miners were able to use hand implements

to cut through rock.

The vehicle shed, where you can find wagons of different sizes, along

with some of the high-tech cutting machines that were in use

until the mine closed, is in the southwest corner of the site

and can be accessed via a covered walkway.

There is a field with ponies, which are always popular with children,

on the north-eastern boundary of the site, not approached via a

covered walkway.

The other building to mention is the education centre.

This is where school groups go when they visit the mine, but

it's also accessible to the public, as it contains a library and

small gift shop.

The centre is connected to the ticket office via a short section

of covered walkway.

❓ Câu hỏi: Which TWO pieces of advice are given about the Marsden Coastal Walk?

✅ Đáp án đúng: B. Don't miss the ruins of a certain building. E. Don't worry about getting lost.

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: Đoạn người nói bắt đầu mô tả Marsden Coastal Walk, thường có tín hiệu như “The Marsden Coastal Walk…”. Sau đó, hãy chú ý những câu nói về đường đi, biển chỉ dẫn, và địa điểm nổi bật trên tuyến đường.

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Trước khi nghe, xác định từ khóa chính trong câu hỏi là pieces of advice, Marsden Coastal Walk. Nghĩa là ta cần nghe xem người nói đang khuyên người đi bộ nên làm gì / không cần lo điều gì.
Với đáp án E, người nói nói rõ: “there are clear signposts all along the way” và “you don't even need to take a map with you”.
Cụm này cho thấy tuyến đường có biển chỉ dẫn rõ ràng, nên người đi không cần lo bị lạc. Vì vậy chọn E. Don't worry about getting lost.
Với đáp án B, người nói tiếp tục nhắc đến một điểm đáng chú ý trên đường: tuyến đi passes a castle built in the 1400s.
Sau đó, người nói mô tả thêm rằng lâu đài giờ chỉ còn là “a pile of stones”, tức là tàn tích / phế tích của một công trình cổ.
Đồng thời, đây được nhấn mạnh là “a great place to take photos”, cho thấy đây là một điểm đáng ghé xem, không nên bỏ lỡ. Vì vậy chọn B. Don't miss the ruins of a certain building.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ A. Stop for lunch in an ancient town. => Dễ nhầm vì có nhắc đến a now vanished market town, nhưng thị trấn này đã biến mất, không phải nơi để dừng ăn trưa. ❌ C. Catch a boat to the start of this walk. => Audio nói tuyến đường begins at Marsden Harbour và ở đó có ferries ra đảo, nhưng đi thuyền không phải cách để tới điểm bắt đầu của walk. ❌ D. Be careful of the steep and rocky paths. => Trái ngược với thông tin nghe được: người nói nói rõ “no strenuous climbs”, nên đây không phải lời khuyên đúng.

Sessions on food safety

TUTOR:

Thanks for coming along Nadia and Fergus.

TUTOR:

So this is a chance for you to give us some feedback

TUTOR:

about different aspects of your course.

TUTOR:

What would you like to begin with?

NADIA:

I've enjoyed the sessions on food safety.

NADIA:

There was some information there that I found really surprising, although some

NADIA:

were stuff I knew already, like the rise in rates of obesity.

FERGUS:

Yeah, that's been in the news a lot.

FERGUS:

But I hadn't realised that unsafe food causes more than 200 different diseases.

NADIA:

No, I'd no idea it was that many.

NADIA:

And speaking of diseases, I knew resistance to antibiotics is on the

NADIA:

increase, but I didn't know why.

FERGUS:

That it's partly because when animals are treated with antibiotics then

FERGUS:

consumed by humans, the antibiotics get into the food chain.

FERGUS:

I had no idea about that either.

NADIA:

Then the sessions provided a lot of information about plastic pollution from

NADIA:

food packaging in the ocean,

NADIA:

but I think that most of us were already aware of that.

FERGUS:

Yeah, but I thought we could have done more on how much

FERGUS:

food is thrown away unnecessarily through fear of it being out of date,

FERGUS:

that was only mentioned in passing.

TUTOR:

OK, I'll bear that in mind.

TUTOR:

What did you think about the sessions from visiting lecturers, Fergus?

FERGUS:

For me, the most interesting one was about that project to prevent

FERGUS:

companies giving incorrect information to consumers about food.

TUTOR:

Ah, food fraud, yes.

FERGUS:

I thought it was really good to address a problem that's faced

FERGUS:

by so many different groups.

FERGUS:

People with special religious rules, as well as vegetarians and vegans.

NADIA:

And those with allergies.

FERGUS:

Yeah.

FERGUS:

And another thing, we've had effective ways of analysing DNA for some

FERGUS:

time now, and these can easily be applied to analysing food.

FERGUS:

But what the researchers succeeded in doing was to ensure that these

FERGUS:

tests were carried out at different stages in the food's journey, from

FERGUS:

the producer to the consumer.

NADIA:

So they knew that the food actually came from the place it

NADIA:

was supposed to, and had the ingredients it was meant to.

FERGUS:

Exactly.

FERGUS:

So customers can be confident about what they buy.

NADIA:

And the researchers had a good system for publicising their findings too.

FERGUS:

Well, I thought there were some problems with that actually.

TUTOR:

Okay.

TUTOR:

And do you have any recommendations for new topics that we could

TUTOR:

include in the course?

NADIA:

Well, I'm interested in how crop yields can be increased without damaging

NADIA:

the environment.

FERGUS:

But we've already done quite a bit on that.

FERGUS:

But not so much on the seafood industry, where stocks are in

FERGUS:

danger of being overexploited as a food source, unless we can find

FERGUS:

ways of keeping stocks up.

NADIA:

Yes, that'd be a good topic.

NADIA:

And I'm interested in the idea of a personalised approach to diet,

NADIA:

now we have the technology to analyse exactly what individuals need.

FERGUS:

That sounds more like a medical topic than food science.

NADIA:

Okay.

NADIA:

What about sessions on the variety of food and eating habits around

NADIA:

the world?

NADIA:

That's very relevant nowadays.

FERGUS:

Yes.

FERGUS:

I think the whole class would be interested in that.

NADIA:

Then there's technological stuff, things like 3D printing of food and smart packaging.

FERGUS:

Maybe too specialist.

TUTOR:

Now, I'm particularly interested in your project, the one where you developed

TUTOR:

a new food product.

TUTOR:

So talk me through the stages.

TUTOR:

First, you had to decide on your initial aim.

FERGUS:

We decided we wanted to create something people could eat on the

FERGUS:

go rather than in a restaurant.

NADIA:

Yeah.

NADIA:

So we chose falafel, which was originally a Middle Eastern snack.

FERGUS:

We made up our minds about that pretty quickly.

FERGUS:

I know some students found this a lot harder to choose and

FERGUS:

wasted a lot of time.

NADIA:

Then we had to do the literature review.

NADIA:

We hadn't done one of these before, so the handout with advice

NADIA:

for the project was very useful here.

FERGUS:

Yes, especially the advice on how to present the information.

FERGUS:

Then product development, actually deciding what we'd use to make the falafel,

FERGUS:

and for me, the interesting thing about that was that we wanted

FERGUS:

it to be something a bit different from an ordinary falafel.

NADIA:

We really made the right choice when we finally decided to use

NADIA:

jackfruit, even though it wasn't something that either of us had ever

NADIA:

tasted before.

FERGUS:

Yeah, like the name tells you, it's a fruit, but actually it's

FERGUS:

really good in savoury dishes.

FERGUS:

The product production, working out how to make the falafel, was harder

FERGUS:

than I expected because I'd never made them before.

NADIA:

It was mostly trial and error.

NADIA:

We started off with the basic recipe, and then experimented, and when

NADIA:

it went wrong…

FERGUS:

… which it did a lot of the time …

NADIA:

We just moved on and kept adapting it.

NADIA:

And in the end, it turned out fine and we had a lot of fun.

FERGUS:

We did.

TUTOR:

Thank you.

TUTOR:

Well, your project was a very good…

Challenges facing the cruise ship industry

For my presentation today, I'm going to talk about some of the

issues facing the cruise ship industry, and then some ways these can

be addressed.

The cruise ship industry has partly been responsible for the effects of

overtourism in recent decades.

Overtourism occurs in places where excessive numbers of tourists cause

significant problems.

Pollution, for example, is among the greatest threats to many popular tourist destinations.

Of course, for many places, it's a difficult balance to achieve.

They want to promote their city or island as a desirable tourist

destination, but at the same time are unable to cope with thousands

of cruise ship passengers on a daily basis.

The trouble is, excessive tourism is destroying the beauty spots and places

of interest that people come to visit.

Several cities, such as Barcelona, have responded by imposing a tax, which

all visitors to the city from cruise ships have to pay.

But as it's only a couple of euros, many green campaigners think

it won't deter enough people to make any difference.

Bruges is another city which became impossible to navigate at times because

of the huge numbers of cruise passengers arriving on day trips from

the port of Zeebrugge.

The city was becoming like a theme park, with shops only catering

for tourists selling chocolate, which Belgium is famous for, and other souvenirs.

The local council took action to limit cruise passengers to a more

manageable level.

Dubrovnik had to limit the numbers of cruise ships after it became

extremely popular as a cruise ship destination when it featured in a

hugely successful TV series.

What it does now is control the timing of all cruise ship

entries to the city's port.

However, many people feel this measure does not go far enough.

Cruise ships may be unpopular in some of their destinations, but they

also have an image problem.

They've always been perceived as a safe holiday for the elderly, with

not much on offer for families or young couples.

A recent survey showed that cost is also a major factor in

putting younger groups off going on a cruise.

But what they don't realize is that compared to other types of

package holidays, cruises can actually be good value, as all activities and

drinks are often included.

And another perception is that cruises have lots of rules about what

to wear and how to behave.

But these days, most cruises are no longer very formal and behind

the times.

So what solutions are there for cruise lines to overcome some of

these problems?

How can they appeal to younger customers?

Well, one selling point is that cruise ships are becoming more sustainable.

New ships are built with hybrid engines with large batteries, which means

ships do not have to keep their engines running while docked.

Cruise lines are also designing ships specially for those in the age

range of 21 to 45.

The decor in these feels contemporary, and there are a range of

activities on board that you wouldn't find on a more traditional cruise.

There's even a boxing ring on one ship, and most offer diving expeditions.

But there's also a huge focus on well-being, with a variety

of sessions of different kinds.

Food is always a very important part of any cruise, and cruise

ships have had to radically update their menus to suit the tastes

of their younger customers.

Vegan dishes are standard, for example.

The restaurants on board have also gone paperless, with menus available on screen.

Unlike older generations who went on cruises largely to get away from

everything, younger people expect to be able to keep in touch with

friends and family.

Many people going on longer cruises also spend time working, so companies

have to guarantee Wi-Fi that can be relied upon at all

times.

My grandparents used to love looking through cruise brochures, even when they

weren't planning on going on a cruise.

Until very recently, TV ads for cruises always felt dated and aimed

at retirees.

Cruise lines have been slowed to adopt the power of social media,

but that's all changing.

Leading cruise lines now employ top agencies to produce first-rate videos

for social media channels.

It will be interesting to see whether the cruise...
