Plan For Sharing Accommodation
Peter:
Hey Jim, it’s Peter.
Jim:
Oh hey Peter. What’s up?
Peter:
I thought I’d call so we could hammer out the details for next year’s lease.
Jim:
That’s a good idea. Did we ever decide on how to split the total rent?
Peter:
Well, I was thinking since my room is bigger I probably should pay a little more, so I could pay £110 and you could pay £80. Does that sound okay?
Jim:
Considering that my old apartment cost me £100 for a smaller room, I’m definitely alright with that! Hey, I was looking at a map of the area, and can’t seem to find a bus stop near it. Do you know where we would catch the bus?
Peter:
Well, the bus is actually pretty far from us, but we have that garage that we can park out cars in.
Jim:
Wow, that’s great! Convenient parking is hard to find, so we’re lucky we have that. Okay, so we have a whole lot of things we’ll need to buy when we move in - how do you want to split that up?
Peter:
I was wondering - do you still work at the supermarket?
Jim:
Yep, every Tuesday and Saturday.
Peter:
Would you be able to buy things from there if I send you a shopping list?
Jim:
Sure, I can do that.
Peter:
Great. Then I can take care of whatever else we need that you wouldn’t get at a supermarket. If you want, I’ll pick you up from work that day and we can go to the apartment together.
Jim:
That would be great, thanks.
Peter:
No problem - that way we can split the cost of petrol.
Jim:
Works for me. It’s so expensive these days, isn’t it?
Peter:
It’s downright obscene.
Jim:
So let’s figure out what appliances we need. Do we have a microwave?
Peter:
Yes, the landlord’s providing that for us. Hey, do you still have that space heater though? We need one for the kitchen since it’s not connected to the central heating.
Jim:
Oh, right, I’ll bring that. Anything else?
Peter:
Well, I have some dining room and living room furniture I can bring, so that should take care of most of the big stuff. You know what we do need though? Could you bring a toaster?
Jim:
I actually don’t have one. It doesn’t come with the microwave?
Peter:
No, the landlord is only supplying the microwave. It would really help if you could bring one.
Jim:
Okay, I’ll pick one up at the store. You know, I also have this cool antique rotary phone that would be a cool addition to the apartment. Sort of as decoration and utility.
Peter:
Oh cool! The only thing is, we’d have to put it in the kitchen, unless you want it in your room.
Jim:
Why not put it in the living room?
Peter:
The living room is too loud to have a phone conversation. The noise sort of carries, so if one person is trying to watch TV or have friends over the person on the phone won’t be able to hear.
Jim:
Hm, okay, well I guess kitchen it is then. Any other big things we need? That seems like everything
Peter:
That’s all I can think of. And of course, move-in is
Jim:
June 1st. I can’t wait. We’ll be able to watch the big game in our new apartment - it’s going to be awesome!
Peter:
Yeah, we can move in in the morning and then Friday night we can sit back and cheer on Liverpool.
Jim:
I have an exam in the morning, but will be done around 11 a.m. and can move in after. Wait... Liverpool? You’re joking, right? I thought you were a Manchester United fan?
Peter:
MAN U? No way! Liverpool all the way!
Jim:
Oh no. I don’t know if I can live with a Liverpool fan...

Earn And Learn Company
Welcome to all of you… Can everybody see and hear me?... Good… I’m Sarah Conor, an HR representative of Earn and Learn. I have been asked today to talk to you about our company. So, for those of you who don’t know very much about the company, let me start by giving you some basic information about it.
Earn and Learn started nearly twenty years ago. It is not a charity but a for-profit company that enables promising entrepreneurs to make money while traveling. During the past ten years, it has grown rapidly and has gained great influence in most countries of the world.
We have a partnership with the school and take a large number of recent graduates from the business school. So if you are a recent graduate I’d say you can consider applying to our company.
Before your application, you might be curious about what sort of places you could go to. There are four main locations, but you also have the freedom to submit a different location and if they can make the necessary arrangements, you can go.
The first country Earn and Learn established locations in was the U.S., where you may choose from multiple locations, as long as you can commit to their more rigid schedule of August to December.
Also, you could do the Australia internship. That one is really cool - you work at a wildlife shelter and learn about the business practices of nonprofit organisations. You do have to be willing to commit 8 months for that one, through. Perhaps that’s a long time to be so far away, but I would say it is really an amazing opportunity.
I don’t know whether some of you are in decent physical shape. If so, the South Africa internship is another exciting one - you learn a lot about sustainable farming - but you would be doing some of the manual labor involved in maintaining a farm.
Indeed, it’s hard work, but I think you would definitely be able to do it. It may be wise to wait until after their summer is over so it's not so terribly hot.
In addition, There is a most recent established location in India. This one gives you more of a study abroad feel, given that they arrange a host family for you to stay with. In the other locations, you live in an apartment with other interns, so this is definitely a unique experience.
Regardless of where you go, at the end of the program you get a Global Traveling Certificate, as long as you can explain your experience. You can provide a written log of what you did. I recommend writing journal or blog entries about what you do everyday, or a weekly summary of each day.
Of course you don’t have to write up a formal report or anything like that. And you need to apply for it once you have returned.
Some students may want to know whether this is a paid internship. Actually you have to pay for the flight there yourself. But you have the opportunity to create your own small business, which could earn you money if it’s successful.
So basically you pay for it all up front, but when you’re there you can find ways to make money. That is to say, you pay for two thirds of the cost up front as a deposit, and then give the final installment one month prior to your return
Finally, I have to remind you that you need a health check before you go, to make sure you’re not going to spread any communicable diseases. In addition, before you go, you don’t have to attend any meetings or workshops. You’ll meet everyone you'll be working with once you get there.
Okay, well, that’s all I’ve time for today. Thanks for listening and I’m happy to take any questions if you have them...

Group Presentation Assignment
Student:
Hi, Professor Jamison, I was hoping we could talk this week about choosing courses for next semester.
Tutor:
That sounds great! Any idea yet what you would like to take?
Student:
Well, I was hoping you could kind of tell me.
Student:
There are so many to choose from. I don’t even know where to start!
Tutor:
Sure. Well, first thing’s first. Do you know what you will major in?
Tutor:
It is important to take courses that are relevant to your career path.
Student:
Well, I think I want to major in Biology.
Student:
I want to go to medical school, so it seems like it would make sense.
Tutor:
I agree - if you like Biology, it is definitely a good idea to focus on that since so many of the requirements overlap.
Student:
Okay, so I should take a few Biology classes then?
Tutor:
Yes, Let’s start there. You should pick one or two Biology classes.
Tutor:
Not just any Biology classes, though!
Tutor:
If possible, read online or talk to senior fellows and find out about the structure of the courses.
Tutor:
You don’t want to end up signing for two classes that require labs in the same semester - you’ll spend so much time in the Biology Department that you won’t see the light of day.
Student:
Oh right, good idea. I heard labs can be as long as 4 hours.
Tutor:
That is true. And another thing - make sure the topic is either relevant to your major, or something you are interested in learning about.
Tutor:
It sounds obvious, but do not just take a class because you heard it was easy, or because it does not require attendance.
Student:
Of course not. Though it would be really nice to have at least one class, that’s a little bit less rigorous than the ones I’m taking this semester.
Student:
I barely sleep as it is with all this studying.
Tutor:
That may have more to do with your study habits, though I don’t disagree that your schedule is really difficult this semester.
Tutor:
So any idea which Biology classes you may decide on for next semester?
Student:
Well, I was thinking of taking Human Physiology - it sounds relevant and interesting.
Tutor:
I think it is an interesting class, but I would recommend against it.
Tutor:
You are already in Human Anatomy, which also covers Physiology so it would be repetitive, and probably not the best use of your time.
Student:
If I already know some of the stuff, I could take it to boost my GPA a little bit.
Tutor:
Um, you could maybe do that, except the professor that teaches it is famous for giving out the fewest A’s of any professor.
Student:
Oh wow. Nevermind.
Tutor:
Now, changing subjects, have you decided yet on your research topic?
Student:
Well, I actually decided. I don’t want to do a research paper.
Student:
I’m going to do a dissertation instead.
Student:
I think I will much more enjoy coming up with a thesis and finding all the details to support it.
Tutor:
I see. Didn’t you already do some of the research though?
Tutor:
What happened to that?
Student:
Well, I started doing research. Then the more data I collected, the more complicated things got.
Student:
I realised I would have to take a lot more steps to randomise the sample, and then I realised I would need to control for more factors.
Tutor:
I see. What kind of data collection did you do?
Student:
I interviewed employees at the water treatment facility after Professor Dickinson recommended it.
Tutor:
I understand. Well, the research paper could be much more outside work, but it may be worth it if that is what you are interested in.
Student:
No, I am a lot happier just doing the dissertation.
Tutor:
That’s fine with me. Just remember, you need to finish your first draft and send it in soon.
Tutor:
It’s already the middle of February!
Student:
Oh wow, it is, isn’t it? I just have to finish it by the end of March, right?
Tutor:
Yep, but don’t forget! The date will really sneak up on you.
Student:
OK, I’ll make sure to set reminders in my calendar.
Student:
And who do I talk to about registering my dissertation?
Tutor:
You should go to the Department Office, and then talk to the secretary.
Student:
I thought I needed to talk to the Department Head.
Tutor:
Not for registering. If you need help developing your dissertation, that’s when you should go to the Department Head.
Student:
Oh, I see. And who would I see about getting access to the database of past research on my topic?
Tutor:
That you can find in the computer lab, specifically in the office - you’ll have to ask a lab technician to give you access.
Student:
Okay, Well, I’ll go ahead and get started on that then. Thanks!

❓ Tapescript section 4
The Gherkin Building
Today I’d like to tell you about how U.K architects are playing their part to address the issue of global warming. You have seen many of these iconic buildings while going about your everyday life, but you may not know how they are affecting your tomorrow.
In 2003, construction was completed on the famous Swiss Re Building, or more informally called the Gherkin, a true masterpiece commissioned by the law offices of Foster and Partner. This is not the first ambitious endeavor of the film - they are renowned for their various philanthropic, environmental efforts.
The Gherkin, with its cutting edge green initiative and sharp design, is gaining recognition as an icon in modern architecture. You can pick it out of the London skyline by its unorthodox cigar shape.
While its appearance is the obvious attribute at which to marvel, there is far more to this building than meets the eye. And let’s face it - there’s a lot about this building that meets the eye. The building helps reduce the city’s carbon footprint in a number of ways.
Just a quick note - in case you’re not familiar with the term ‘carbon footprint’, get used to it! It’s a buzzword you’ll hear relentlessly to talk about reducing emissions. Think of it as the amount of harmful greenhouse gases that are given off into the environment by a single person, organisation, or product.
So going back to the Gherkin Building - perhaps the most obvious as well as the most significant eco-friendly feature is the glass windows, which allow light to pass through the building, both reducing heating costs and brightening up the workspace.
The ingenuity behind the various eco-friendly aspects of the Gherkin has seen its fair share of publicity both from serious and silly sources.
In a recent April Fool’s Day edition, one e-publication printed a story detailing plans to replace 50% of the current exterior with grass, which would not only make large steps in the name of sustainability, but also give the building the green hue that would truly earn it the nickname of the Gherkin.
The only drawback is as you may have guessed, that this story was an April Fool’s Day joke and completely made up.
In all seriousness though, the building is setting a new standard of design that other architects and city planners just cannot ignore. The building’s bold and cost-efficient design has won a number of architectural awards, including the Stirling Prize, the London Region Award, and the Emporis Skyscraper Award among others.
The design comfortably accommodates a large number of offices while keeping maintenance and operational costs down, striking a superb balance between nature and the workplace.
Nature is well and good, as long as the weather is nice outside. Given London’s notoriously bad weather, the architects knew they must devise a quality temperature regulation system, and that they did.
A special system designed to reduce the building’s reliance on air-conditioning was devised that cuts consumption in half compared to standard office buildings.
There are atria that link each floor vertically to one another, forming spiraling spaces up the entire building. They serve not just as social common spaces but also act as the building’s lungs, distributing clean air from the opening panels in the facade through the entire building.
The building isn’t all business though - it has its fair share of fun as well. At the very top, a clubroom offers a picturesque entertainment spot for company functions, private parties, etc., with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.
The creation of such an innovative structure has many wondering what the future of urban planning and architecture may be. Well, if the other projects currently commissioned by Foster and Partners are any indication, the entire city constructed with similarly eco-friendly buildings is not far in the distance.
The Masdar City development aims to create a desert city that produces zero waste and removes as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it puts in - a huge feat in protecting our earth.
The Gherkin is a truly impressive feat, yet it is not the only one worth noting. Now to move on to another green initiative, I’ll tell you about the Eden Foundation Building, found in Cornwall…
