Teacher, Pavel
T: Good morning. Come in. What’s your name?
P: Pavel.
T: OK, Pavel. Have a seat. Where are you
from?
P: From Krakow, in Poland.
T: Oh, OK. Tell me something about Krakow.
P: Well, it’s a beautiful city. It’s very old. It’s
in the south of Poland. It isn’t the capital of
Poland – that’s Warsaw.
T: Is it a big city?
P: No, it isn’t. It’s quite small.
T: Anything else?
P: It’s cold in winter. And er … for you, it’s
very cheap!
T: OK, good, Pavel. We’re on page …

School administrator, 2 students
SA: Good morning everyone. Welcome to
Cambridge and to the Cam English School.
Right, now, please look at your maps. There are
a lot of interesting places in the city center.
First of all, please find Trinity Street and
King’s Parade – they’re on the left of your map.
There are a lot of beautiful colleges on these
streets. Opposite Trinity College there’s a good
bookshop and a small post office.
In the middle of the map, between Trinity
College and the main post office, there’s the
main shopping area, with the market and the
shopping centre. The market’s nice, with food
and clothes and a lot of other things. And it’s
cheap! The shopping centre’s … well … to tell
you the truth, it’s ugly, but there are a lot of
shops.
On the right of the map, there’s the bus
station, next to the park. It’s quite busy in the
mornings and evenings. Take the bus from
there to the railway station, or to London. Any
questions so far?
S1: Yes. Is there a library?
SA: Yes, there is. It’s in the shopping centre.
On your map, there is a person with a book.
S1: Oh, yes. Thank you.
S2: Excuse me, is there a zoo?
SA: No, I’m afraid there isn’t, not in the city.
OK then, that’s all for now. Don’t forget –
tomorrow at three o’clock, there’s a guided tour
of the city. Have a good time and learn a lot of
English!
Track 05
Once upon a time, there were two mice –
cousins. One lived in the town and the other in
the country. The town mouse was a very
superior mouse, who thought that living in the
town was far better than living the country. So
one day, he invited his country cousin to stay
with him in his town house and experience the
civilized lifestyle of the town. They sat down to
118
a meal, which to the country mouse was a feast.
“Goodness me” he said. “If I was in the
country, I would be having only simple bread
and cheese in the quiet of my peaceful home.”
Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the door.
“Don’t worry,” said the town mouse, “that’s
just my neighbour - the dog, he wants to join us
for dinner.” The country mouse ate a little
faster. Another noise was heard outside, even
louder this time. “Oh dear” said the town
mouse, “the cat who lives facing my house
wants to join us too.” Quickly eating the last of
his meal, the country mouse said, “Thank you,
but I think I will return to the peace and quiet of
my own house after all!” Then he ran back
home as fast as his legs could carry him.

Katie, Neil
K: Hi, Neil. Thanks for calling. Can you hear
me?
N: Yes, I can. Loud and clear. How’s it going
over there? Having fun at the animal sanctuary?
K: Sure am, but it’s hard work. But everyone’s
looking after me, and it’s great to see the work
in action. Anyway, you want to talk about the
photos? I’m sorry there’s
no Internet
connection here.
N: That’s OK. Yeah, basically, I need to choose
the pictures now, and I wanted to discuss my
ideas with you first.
K: Fine. Fire away. Which section are you
talking about?
N: Well, it’s the home page link to the animal
rescue page. Basically, I’ve got two photos of
whale rescues and two of bird rescues.
K: OK.
N: So, first of all the whale rescue photos. In
the first one, there are four whales that are close
to the beach. Two men are pulling one of the
whales off the beach, and there are loads of
people in the background who are watching the
rescue.
K: Fine, and the second one?
N: Well, in that one, on the left of the picture,
we can see the large head of a whale. On the
right, there are two people who are throwing
water on the whale. I guess they’re trying to
keep it alive. It’s a very unusual picture; the
whale’s head is massive. But, well, I think the
first picture is the best one for the website
because it shows a team of people that are
working together. They look very professional
and it’s also more dramatic.
K: It certainly sounds good. What about the
bird rescue pictures?
Track 07
K: What about the bird rescue pictures?
N: Sure. The first one is on the beach, and
there’s a man in the water. He’s passing a bird
to someone who’s standing on the beach. The
second one shows some people who are
cleaning a bird. On the right, there’s a woman
in a blue shirt who’s holding the bird. So the
bird’s in the middle of the picture. Then, there’s
another woman on the left who’s cleaning the
bird. She‘s wearing a yellow coat.
K: OK, so in the first one, are the men rescuing
the bird from oily water?
N: Uh-huh. And I like that picture; I think it’s
more powerful than the one about the cleaning.
I think it really makes you feel the terrible
situation.
K: Yes, I guess so, although it’s hard for me to
say without seeing it. What’s good about the
second one?
N: Well, it shows the work that our experts do,
but it’s not a very interesting picture. Overall, I
recommend that we use the whale rescue
picture.
K: The one of the team working together?
N: Uh-huh.
K: Well, that sounds OK. Go ahead with that
for the moment. We could change it quite easily
in the future, couldn’t we?
N: Well, we could, but I need to get something
up on the site today.
K: Sure, I understand. Use the whale one and
when I get back to the office, I’ll let you know
if there’s a problem.
N: OK. You’re the boss. I think you’ll like this
one anyway.
K: I’m sure I will. Your choices are usually
spot on. Anyway, gotta go now, there’s a
monkey that’s waiting to meet me.
N: Lucky monkey. Say hello from me! Bye for
now.
K: Bye.

Track 09
Good morning, everybody. I’m going to
start by giving you a short introduction to the
buildings of the Winter Palace and the
Hermitage. Right, as you probably know, St.
119
Petersburg was established as a new city by
Peter the Great in 1703 and it soon became the
capital of the Russian Empire. In 1752 Empress
Elizabeth ordered her Italian architect Rastrelli
to design a new winter residence. The Winter
Palace was an enormous building which even
had a Palace church in one corner of it.
Empress Elizabeth died in 1761 but in the
following year Catherine the Great became
Empress after the death of her husband. She
wanted somewhere to get away from the palace
and relax but the Winter Palace had no garden.
So, she ordered her architects to build a
hanging garden next to the palace and a small
hermitage. The garden was a place for her and
her favorites to relax and enjoy themselves. The
garden had fountains, rare plants and exotic
birds. Next to the garden was the Hermitage, a
building there Catherine held private parties
and dinners. Catherine also started to collect
paintings and other works of art and started to
fill the Hermitage with them. She bought
paintings from all around Europe by great
masters like Rembrandt, Rubens, Tintoretto and
Velázquez. After a while she had another
problem: she needed more room for her
collection of paintings. So, she ordered her
architects to design another new building for all
her pictures next to her Hermitage. And next to
that Catherine ordered a building of a theatre.
When Catherine died she had a magnificent
Palace consisting of different buildings with an
excellent library and one of the best art
collections in the world with 4,000 paintings.
Since Catherine’s day the art collection has
grown and the Winter Palace and the Hermitage
buildings have survived all sorts of disasters. In
1837 a disastrous fire burnt out the interior of
the Winter Palace and it was entirely rebuilt. In
March 1917 the Winter Palace became the
headquarters of the Russian government after
the last Tsar abdicated. On the 25
th
of October
1917 the Palace was attacked and entered by
the communists. It later became a state
museum.
The Winter Palace and the Hermitage also
survived the terrible siege of Leningrad by the
Germans in the Second World War which
started in September 1941 and lasted for two
and a half years.
OK, let’s go in. You can see the magnificent
staircase designed …

Tourist, Guide
T: Good morning. I’d like information about
museums in London, please.
G: There are three hundred museums in
London, you know! What do you want to see?
T: Well, I’m interested in science.
G: Ok, you can go to the Science Museum.
That’s a great day out. There are really
interesting things to see.
T: Right. And when is it open?
G: From ten in the morning until six in the
evening. On Sundays, it opens at eleven and
closes at eight.
T: How much are the tickets?
G: Entrance is free!
T: That’s great! And how do I get there?
G: Well, you can get a bus or the tube. The tube
station for the museum is South Kensington.
T: Where can I get a map? I don’t want to get
lost.
G: Here you are.
T: Thanks very much.
G: Not at all!

I write music mainly for videos and plays. I
work on a keyboard connected to a computer. I
use the computer in two ways really: first of all,
to record what I play on the keyboard, in other
words to store what I play on the keyboard.
Secondly, the computer controls the sounds I
can make with the different synthesizers. The
computer is the link between the keyboard
which I play and the synthesizers which
produce the sounds.
2
I use my computer to do the usual office things
like write memos, letters, faxes and so on, but
the thing which I find really useful is electronic
mail. We’re an international company and we
have offices all over the world. We’re linked up
to all of them by e-mail. With e-mail I can
communicate with the offices around the world
very efficiently. It’s really changed my life.
3
Well, I use computers for almost every aspect
of my job. I use them to design electrical
installations and lighting systems: for example
the program will tell you how much lighting
you need for a particular room, or how much
cable you need, and it will show where the
cable should go. I also use the computer to
120
make drawings and to keep records. We have to
test our installations every five years and the
information is stored on computer.
4
I use computers to find information for people.
Readers come in with a lot of queries and I use
either our own database or the national database
that we’re connected to to find what they want.
They might want to know the name and address
of a particular society or last year’s accounts of
a company and we can find that out for them.
Or they might want to find a particular
newspaper article but they don’t know the exact
date it was published so we can find it for them
by checking on our online database for
anything they can remember: a name or the
general topic. And we use computers to
catalogue the books in the library and to record
the books that readers borrow.

Interviewer, Woman
I: What’s the tallest building you’ve ever seen?
W: The tallest building? Well … let me see …
erm … I haven’t seen many really tall
buildings, but last year I went to New York and
I visited the Empire State Building, and I really
liked it. Erm … I first saw the building from the
plane. That was fantastic; it made me think of
the film
King Kong.
Then I visited the building
the next day. It’s very tall and it’s also
beautiful, I think. It’s different from most tall
buildings because erm … it’s made of bricks
and has a lot of windows. Other tall buildings
are all glass, so it’s very different, and that’s
why I think that it looks beautiful. Anyway, I
went to the top of the building in the lift, and
the view from the top is wonderful. You can
see all of Manhattan in every direction – the
yellow taxis look so small, like tiny insects!
Well, what else? Oh yes, I also went up the
building at night. That was great – you can see
all the lights of New York City below your feet.
That was a very special moment for me. So,
that’s the tallest building I’ve seen.

Interviewer, Teenagers 1(Martin), 2 (Julia),
3(Ann), 4(Greg)
I: What do young people want from a holiday
nowadays? Well, we invited four teenagers to
the studio to find out. First, we’re talking to
Martin. Martin, where do you normally go for
your holidays?
1 (M): Well, I usually go to Scotland with my
parents. But this year I’m doing something
completely different. I’m going with my friends
to Ibiza.
I: So, you’ve decided you want to see a bit
more of the world?
1 (M): Not really. We’re going for the
clubbing. The weather is good too, though, and
that makes a lot of difference.
I: Julia, what about you? What’s your idea of a
really good holiday?
2 (J): I’ve always loved visiting different
countries, places I’ve never visited before. I
like finding out about different cultures and I
just love travelling
I: Uh-huh. Ann, do you have a favourite
holiday destination?
3 (A): I’d love to travel all over the world but
I’m terrified of getting into an airplane. It
means I can only visit places I can travel to by
car or train or, sometimes, ship.
I: Greg, tell us your idea of a perfect holiday.
4 (G): Well, I used to go on package holidays
with my family to Spain. I enjoyed the flights
and the weather. But for the last couple of years
I’ve been cycling with a group of friends in the
mountains. It’ great! Although the weather is
not usually that good we usually take a tent and
go camping. It’s very relaxing and you don’t
have to spend a lot of money on flights and
accommodation.
Track 14
Yvonne Archer, Trisha Barnett – Head of
Tourism Concern
Y: This weekend, thousands and thousands of
people will travel to countries across the world.
And in Britain alone, about 60 million people
take a holiday abroad each year! Most of us
have probably heard of ‘package’ and ‘all
inclusive’ holidays but when I asked around
Bush House, not many of us had heard of
‘ethical travel’. Of course by now, we all know
that long plane journeys cause serious damage
to our environment but with ‘ethical travel’,
there are other things to think about as well.
T: Somebody once told me how when a hotel
was built in the area that he lived in in the
Pacific, it was as if a spaceship had arrived.
Y: Trisha Barnett, head of Tourism Concern
who’ve published “The Ethical Travel Guide”.
There, Trisha was talking about the effect that
tourists can have on the people who live in the
countries they visit. In that case, the new hotel
121
was like a spaceship – something very alien had
landed in the Pacific. The local people - the
community living in the area where the hotel
was built, wasn’t ‘consulted’ before the work
began. No one met with them to get their
opinions on how the hotel would affect them -
and the community certainly wasn’t asked for
any advice. We also heard how the local people
usually have very poor ’infrastructures’, for
example, little access to transport, electricity
and even running water. ‘Ethical travel’
encourages tourists to be more aware of what’s
happening in the countries they plan to visit.
Hopefully, that will lead to ‘sustainable
tourism’… we’ll be able to visit those countries
in the future without causing problems. The
governments of many developing countries
encourage tourism as a valuable form of
income – an important way to make money.
But as Trisha explains, the money is often used
to pay off the countries’ debts and increase
tourism rather than help local people like
farmers.
T: The governments, encouraged by The World
Bank and the IMF to pay back their debt, bring
tourists in as much as they possibly can and
feed all their money into the tourism
infrastructure rather than say agriculture.
Y: Did you know that in 24 hours, the average
tourist uses the same amount of water that a
local person might use in 100 days? Shocking,
isn’t it? But according to Trisha, knowing
what’s going on could lead to tourists helping
to solve problems rather than adding to them.
T: You’re really not aware that when you use
your shower and you plunge into the pool that
that water might have been at the cost of local
people and they don’t have running water at all.
And in fact, it’s quite picturesque to see a
woman walking down a dusty road with a pail
on her head full of water. We’re not making the
connections between their poverty and our
luxury and the luxury and that infrastructure is
at their cost.
Y: Is there anything that tourists could do to
help in your own country? Do you think that
‘tips’ - giving extra money to low-paid workers
- keeps their wages low? Would gifts of
clothes, toiletries, pencils or paper for them and
their children be a good idea? And if tourists
visited areas away from their hotels, would that
provide local people with work as guides and
encourage governments to provide better roads
and transport?
‘Ethical Travel’ gives us lots to think and talk
about.
Track 15
Fifty countries founded the United Nations
after the Second World War, on the 24
th
of
October 1945, to be exact. After such a terrible
war, they founded the UN in order to maintain
world peace and security, to develop friendly
relations between countries and to improve
living conditions and human rights across the
world. There are now 191 countries in the UN,
that’s nearly every country in the world, and
representatives from these countries meet at the
UN headquarters in New York.
For most people, the Secretary General of
the UN is the face of this massive organization.
The Secretary General is the person that we
usually see on the television news when the UN
does something important. Over the years, the
Secretary General has come from many
different countries, such as Egypt, Peru and
Sweden. The current Secretary General is from
South Korea.
The UN works in a wide range of areas, with
a general aim to improve the lives of ordinary
people and to keep peace in the world. For
example, the UN helps refugees, helps the
economic development of poorer countries and
runs the court of International Justice. Two
areas that the UN is not involved in are
entertainment and religious education.
Track 16
Presenter, Mark Gregory
P: Anti-globalization protesters take to the
streets to make their feelings known. Police
have used rubber bullets, tear gas and water
cannons against anti-globalization protesters
where the G 8 summit is being held. Mark
Gregory is the BBC World Service business
correspondent. I’ve been speaking to him about
globalization and I asked him first for his
definition of the term.
M: Well,
globalization
has become a kind of a
catchall phrase that is used to describe a
process of seemingly ever greater economic
integration, a process in which economic events
in one place pretty soon have huge implications
almost everywhere else.
P: Technological developments have made
communication and travel much easier, so that
the world seems to be a smaller place. This has
resulted, for example, in greater international
