Conor: Oh, hello I’m ringing about the advertisement in yesterday’s newspaper… the one for the bookcases can you tell me if They’re still available? Mrs Blake: We’ve sold one, but we still have two available Conor: Right Err… can you tell me a bit about them? Mrs Blake: Sure, er what you want to know? Conor: Well, I’m looking for something to tit in my study, so well, I’m not too worried about the height, but the width’s quite important Can you tell me how wide each of them is? Mrs Blake: They’re both exactly the same size let me see I’ve got the details written down somewhere Yes so they’re both 75 cm wide [1] and 180 cm high Conor: OK fine, that should fit m OK And I don’t want anything that looks too severe… not made of metal, for example I was really looking for something made of wood? [2] Mrs Blake: That’s all right, they are, both of them [2] Conor: So are they both the same price as well? Mrs Blake: No, I he first bookcase is quite a bit cheaper It’s just ?15 [3] We paid ?60 for it just five years ago, so it’s very good value It’s in perfectly good condition, they’re both in very good condition in fact, but the first one isn’t the same quality as the other one It’s a good sturdy bookcase, it used to be in my son’s room, but it could with a fresh coat of paint… Conor: Oh, it’s painted? Mrs Blake: Yes, it’s cream at present [4], but as I say you could easily change that if you wanted to fit in with your colour scheme Conor: Yes I’d probably paint it white if I got it Let’s see, what else… how many shelves has it got? Mrs Blake: Six two of them are fixed, and the other four are adjustable [5] so you can shift them up and down according to the sizes of your books Conor: Right, fine Well, that certainly sounds like a possibility PART 2: Sami: Dr Barrett? Tutor: Sami, come in Is Irene with you? Irene: Yes Tutor: Good Sit down Right, we’re looking at how far you’ve got with your research project since we last met You decided to a survey about computer facilities at the university, didn’t you? Irene: That’s right We decided to investigate the university’s open access centres, and in particular the computer facilities Lots of the students are having trouble getting access to a computer when they need one, so we thought it would be a useful area to research Tutor: Good Fine It’s not a topic anyone has looked at before, as far as I know, so it’s a good choice So what background reading did you do? Page of Sami: Well, we looked in the catalogues in the library but we couldn’t find much that was useful – it’s such a specialized subject, hardly anything seems to have been published about it… Irene: And as well as that, the technology is all changing so quickly Sami: But the open access centre has an online questionnaire on computer use that it asks all the students to at the end of their first year, and the supervisor gave us access to that data, so we used it as a starting point for our research It wasn’t exactly what we needed, but it gave us an idea of what we wanted to find out in our survey Then we designed our own questionnaire Tutor: And how did you use it? Irene: We approached students individually and went through our questionnaire with them on a one-to-one basis Tutor: So you actually asked them the questions? Irene: That’s right We made notes of the answers as we went along, and actually we found we got a bit of extra information that may as well – about the underlying attitudes of the people we were interviewing – by observing the body language and things like that Tutor: How big is your sample? Sami: Well, altogether we interviewed a random sample of 65 students, 55% male and 45% female Tutor: And what about the locations and times of the survey? Sami: We went to the five open access computer centres at the university, and we got about equal amounts of data at each one It took us three weeks We did it during the week, in the day and in the evenings Tutor: Not the weekend? Sami: No Tutor: So presumably your respondents were mostly full-time students? Sami: Yes… Oh, you mean we should have collected some data at the weekends, from the parttime students? We don’t think of that Tutor: OK It’s just an example of how difficult it is to get a truly random sample So how far have you got with the analysis of results? Irene: Well, everyone agreed there was a problem, but we’re more interested in what they think should be done about it The most popular suggestion was for some sort of booking system About 77% of the students thought that would be best But there were other suggestions; for example, about 65% of people thought it would help if the opening hours were longer, like 24 hours a day PART 3: Interviewer: Jed Stone's best known now for his talented as a garden designer - but he and his wife Helena ran a highly successful jewellery business in the nineteen nineties, which brought them fame and high living Then they lost it all and some years later, bought a derelict house which they renovated and now together they've created a garden They join me in the studio today You seem to most things in partnership, like the jewellery business, but using Jed's name Why's that? Helena? Helena: Well, this is a bit of a bone of contention, actually We have a friend in PR Page of Interviewer: Jed: Interviewer: Helena: Interviewer: Jed: Interviewer: Helena: who said, "You have a great name, Jed Stone People would pay a fortune for such a good name." But, sadly, at the time, it never crossed my mind that I wouldn't get the credit for what we do, and that does get to me sometimes but, there again, I'm very bad at putting myself forward People see Jed as a figurehead, which is fine, actually, because I don't enjoy being recognized or get any thrill out of that, whereas Jed loves it Is that right, Jed? Obviously, I'd love to say, "No, I don't," but yeah, I Even as a child, I thought it must be marvelous to walk down a street and have people know who you were Ironically, that's the worst of it now It would be nice just to go and buy a paper without somebody saying something But I suppose I like being a public figure It gives me a sense that I've done something people appreciate It doesn't stop me doing anything, but it does modify how I it But Helena, you did appear on our television screens briefly as a presenter on The Travel Show That must have been a dream job, travelling around the world? Actually, I thought I was being heroic taking that job I'd actually rather have gone down a coal mine It was ironic really, because Jed adores travelling, whilst I hate it The timing was critical though; I mean, we were living in this derelict house We'd knocked huge holes in the walls to make windows and we could hardly afford to get the job finished and I wanted to be there when it was done So I genuinely didn't want to the job they were offering, but I felt I had no choice because, apart from anything else, it would provide us with a reasonable income So what about this jewel garden? Did you have a clear idea of what you wanted to when you bought the house? Not at all In fact, we were provoked into action I was giving a lecture on gardening and I was including some snaps of our own wilderness to show what certain plans looked like But these photos hadn't loaded onto my laptop properly, and you couldn't see a thing So I started to make it up describing this jewel garden with magical colours - It came straight out of my imagination, it hadn't been a long-term plan or anything Anyway, as soon as I'd finished, these journalists came rushing up saying, "We must come and take pictures of your jewel garden." And I heard myself replying, "Fine, but come when the colours are good, don't come now." To cut a long story short, we had make the jewel garden before they came, and actually, we did ninety per cent of the work that summer That was out incentive! And why did you call it a "jewel garden"? Having read about the disasters with the jewellery business, one would have thought you wouldn't want the word "jewel" in your house at all Well, I'd like to work on projects and if you have a project where you're thinking only of jewel colours then that starts to limit you, and design is all Page of about reduction Really it was just a good, positive way of tackling what plants we were putting in, and the way we were going to design the garden, wasn't it, Jed? Jed: Yeah But for me it was also partly a metaphor, it's making something worthwhile out of a failure We did spend years doing the jewellery and it wasn't all disastrous; there were good things about it too and we wanted to salvage them and treasure them It seemed a waste not to take that bit of our lives and to somehow incorporate it into our new design venture - to take the bad experience and use it in a creative way Interviewer: Jed and Helena, thank you for telling us about it today PART There really is no single definition of "business attire" these days The era of "Big Business" with fine clothes and tailored suits is largely gone, except in white-shoe firms There's a lot of freedom in tossing out the starched, buttoned-up conformity of yesteryear But what replaces it? What are we supposed to wear to work? A young defense lawyer might wear jeans and a T-shirt in the office while reviewing case files, but keep a dark suit hanging nearby for going to court or meeting a client Bankers are besuited; techy-types in all industries tend to dress down (same here at Newsy) Our 21st century workwear conundrum isn't new, but it's trending more casual Before World War II, men wore suits — often double-breasted — and hats (yes, hats were a necessity) Women wore dresses that managed to rise above the ankle, and complemented their attire with matching hats, gloves, bags and shoes Interesting fact: Before the war, 50% of all men’s suits were double-breasted, but by the end of the 1940s they made up only 12% Wartime cloth restrictions were the reason In the 1950s, much of the style was the same, but men's suits went from loose-fitting to "skinny." The 1960s and 1970s mixed things up a bit Enter the pantsuit for women Patterns and colors got bolder The traditional men's suit stuck around, but some guys started showing up in Nehru jackets and something called the "leisure suit." The 1980s introduced something called "business casual," thanks to Silicon Valley It originally meant khaki pants, sensible shoes and button-down collared shirts (The collars were critical.) Today, defining "business casual" is almost impossible Is it a T-shirt? Jeans? A hoodie? A Zara jacket? What's proper "business casual" for one business just won’t in another The Atlantic grappled with this and says the casual workplace can be traced to a "results oriented" business culture rather than a "process-oriented" culture obsessed with employees' looks — a change that also can be traced to the tech industry Case in point: Mark Zuckerberg's gray T-shirt and gray hoodie The Facebook founder explained: "I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community." Yes, there are exceptions to the casual workplace Some businesses are still creased and pleated and tailored But lots of us are left to suss out the appropriateness of unpressed pants and Allbirds, which don't go so well with shoulder pads, and the rules really aren't clear Bottom line: Dressing for success is as hard to define as business casual Page of ... boxes provided (10 points) off for to With For With/ In to in on 10 around Part Give the correct form of the words in brackets Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes (10 points) anti-social/... almost why with 10 being Part (15 points- 1,5 points for each correct answer) D B C C A D C B D 10 A Part (15 points- 1,5 points for each correct answer) iv iii ii vii v Page of vi B A D 10 C D WRITING... artillery unprecedented ed thought- 10.
