11 to 14 hi everybody good to see you again this morning I'll tell you about the Elizabeth House in Canterbury once home of the famous Carpenter Jonathan Owen he bought the house in 1965 although he had first seen it 5 years earlier actually he was interested in the house as a traditional flat in England and he paid £5,000 for it without a second thought because of it having standard and regulation building methods during the Middle Ages in the UK at that time time he had worked at the University of Canterbury as a head Carpenter who managed with a small building company his professional success was abundant but his family life wasn't so successful his parents had suffered from diabetes and mental disease and his brother Dan was Ill with pneumonia moving to Elizabeth's house he started his new life Jonathan considered the home a pure example of tradition or east England country house and did some of his successful building structure work here the backyard and garden of the house became calm and peaceful the materials used to make the wall chimney and roof were collected from the local area most of all oak trees were in the front of the main gate before you hear the rest of the program you have some time to look at the questions 15 to 20 now listen and answer questions 15 to 20 as you go up The Path there's the Rose Garden on your right and you will find to your left an area which has interesting types of sunflower as well as some lovely Carnation it is known as the sun rainbow and was designed by his brother Dan who had studied gardening arts in Paris the next destination is the the Japanese foot Bridge with exotic Asian Mountain plants and fruit growing on it follow the path round to the second corner and on your left you will see the entrance to the pear tree with its 200y old branches go through the path until you've reached the front of the house now I'll give you a couple of vows to WAND around this lovely building your tour guide will introduce and explain about its history and viewpoints to you if you need to buy any of Jonathan's handbooks or other souvenirs you can enter the house where you'll find the shop which is located between the path and the water mill I expect by this time you may also be in need of a rest and some refreshments from the snack bar if you have a break there is a lovely walk down towards the river cotton this is the best view for visitors you can across the field which spreads along the path close to the windmill in Autumn this area will open a small event or Festival which is definitely worth a visit it is familiar a good place for growing strawberries every season most of the residents are ready to make local produce also the local Council helps to improve the grape Festival by promoting and marketing it through through online and offline methods last year around 100 tons of grapes were harvested and sold at the city mall we'll now have a good chance to see an orchard behind the house that is the end of part two you now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two part three you'll hear a conversation between students an and David about Gallery marketing first you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24 now listen carefully and answer the questions 21 to 24 an we really need to get working on this Gallery marketing assignment we've only got 2 weeks left until the end of the month to set up right so how about getting started now we need to work through the instructions well we must search for one area from tourism Industries like the museum or Gallery there are lots of sites online what are they about the National Science Museum the history museum the war museum the tape modern art gallery and so on you got more we've got plenty I've got an idea to find out the best comment coming this Friday we'll get more information at the London Museum because it shows all the visitors guide books of museums or galleries in the UK it also runs a small Workshop about nonprofit tourism Industries marketing great so after visiting there we have to use research methods such as telephone interviews questionnaires on the street or sending out emails actually we don't have a choice we have to send the email right we don't have to waste time deciding among them by the way how do we get the responses um let's contact the London Museum's information center actually it may be helpful to us to collect data through our head course leader how many people do we have to interview well we have to split into three groups and it looks like we have to interview 30 people for each group so 90 Al together then it depends on the ages too right that's right so are they all the requirements yes looks like it h firstly which part are we going to choose my preference would be a modern art gallery since that's where I spend most of the time I think you've got something wrong I don't think there are abundant differences in the exhibitions there I mean you get young and old man and woman amateur and professional all going to the galleries right so let's make it a ceramic exhibition then so basically what two groups will we compare and contrast for that male and female absolutely also most of my respondents like the same Ceramics as me also I think different age groups could be changed to highlight differences before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at the questions 25 to 30 now listen and answer questions 25 to 30 I think you're right I'll take some comment the age groups are teenagers 20s 30s 40s and over what do you think about this great that will give us more detail so how about the kind of ceramic they like let's give them some options and then we can just tick boxes okay let's have Asian European African what else something special well we should include the Incas in Peru some people like this style you know okay and then we should know about their understanding of Ceramics they can learn about about that thanks to a gallery curator who can inform them about the patterns and markings through picture and local clay I'm curious about how they were made I'm in a process with painting and things embedded on the surface at that time the equipment and materials were not good compared with the present day I agree we should also include an earn vessel of course right The Next Step could be about where they were actually from they were made from local clay weren't they things such as Mountain Lake basement and so forth I think so one more thing is the color on the bottle how did the Ancients get the tone on the internet it said they got it through dried plants they were working again to make a tone drying and sorting okay I see to get more hard tone they included other strong herbs or something at that time the colors were used by the rich with property great you've got plenty of data David no no it's just beginning we have to look for something special with more details and history for the presentation next week that is the end of part three you now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three part four you hear part of a lecture given by a waste recycle Management's Professor first you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 now listen carefully and answer the questions 31 to 40 hi everyone this morning I'm going to talk to you about flea markets in England at first we were surprised to learn that only 15% of people here in England make an effort to collect waste that is lower than other European countries also it might be falling within a couple of years time unless the government makes a severe regulation for Industries and local residences the UK government's Target means that by 2012 we must decrease our waste emissions by 45% compared with 2000 local councils can offer support to meet that Target by taking part in the national green campaign and investing in local flea markets most of all these markets reduce waste emissions from landfill sites a flea market or swap meat is a type of bizaar where very cheap or secondhand goods are sold or bed for it may be indoors like in a warehouse or school gymnasium or it may be outdoors like in a field or under a tent the Flea Market vendors display the goods used on the table for selling such as a few unwanted household items to operate Commerce including a variety of used Living Products many flea markets in Europe European countries have food vendors who sell snacks and drinks to the visitors and may be part of a small event such as carnivals or concerts as part of our research our team carried out a questionnaire with people in the local area the results said we need to open more secondhand shops however one problem is that there is a lack of information and marketing to solve the problems local councils should invest and support in flea markets by doing things like creating parking space organizing security public promotions using the internet and other resources we were also surprised to discover how waste such as Furniture computers kitchen tools and other such things are reused and wooden furniture or electronic products are easy to recycle because they can be reused over and over again without becoming weaker around 3 million electronic goods are thrown away per year also around 500,000 pieces of furniture or also disposed of only one fifth is collected and fortunately recycled through many local flea markets in 2009 there are around 3,000 flea markets in England the number is increasing steadily so far surprisingly by collecting under 15% of old books lots of paper is imported so more paper can be recycled in the UK Europe recycles 50% of its paper and Germany recycles 80% of its paper when recycling launches there were quality problems so it was so hard to reuse paper in office sheets however these problems have now been solved and Union of the flea markets based in East London produces high quality recycled paper another Union loving paper currently sells the paper that has been through a sorting process to Farmers or gardeners as fertilizer so to sum up there there seems to be a number of activities that enable people to reuse waste but the substantial problem is encouraging people to think twice about taking their waste to a flea market instead of throwing it away I think the recycling program will make us save materials and protect the environment in future and next I'll show the plan for promoting it that is the end of part four you now have 1 minute to check your answers to part four that is the end of the listening test in the I test you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet [Music]
