TRANSCRIPT Part 1: In 1979, IBM was making headlines by becoming one of the first Fortune 500 companies to allow employees to work remotely That’s right, nearly 40 years ago the corporate giant adopted this modern outlook on work In fact, (Q1) IBM found the practice to be so successful that by 2009 40% of their 386,000 employees worked remotely Fast forward to 2017 — IBM tells its thousands of remote workers to relocate to an IBM office or find a new job But what caused IBM to reverse a seemingly successful policy? (Q2) It was the belief that locating teams in the office would make them more productive, innovative, and agile But is working from home really less effective than working from a traditional office? According to Gallup, remote workers put in longer hours and are more productive than their non-remote peers So why are we still debating this? The truth is, for all of its benefits, working remotely can have its struggles typically in forming relationships and career development (Q3) A recent Harvard Business Review study states that many remote workers feel like their non-remote colleagues don’t treat them equally and don’t believe they fight for their priorities But the reality is that remote work is the future (Q4) 51% of workers would change jobs for a role that offered them flextime and 37% would make a move for a role that allowed them to work remotely at least parttime But perhaps the issue isn’t with remote work — It’s how we manage and work with remote employees For managers and coworkers are to develop successful relationships with remote workers, they all have to make changes No one likes to feel like they’re in the dark, so start by setting expectations Clear and honest communication is even more important for remote workers (Q5) Remote employees don’t have the luxury of being able to swing by your desk to ask questions, so be sure to schedule consistent check-ins Pick up the phone or connect over video to make the conversation more natural Have trust and confidence in your remote workers Just being in the office does not guarantee that an employee is being productive By changing your attitude and management style, you can make remote work work for your team Part 2: Manager: Hello, Jobs You, how can I help you? Wei Liu: Yes, I’m looking for some (Q6) part-time work Something in a restaurant, maybe Manager: (Q7) Are you a student? Wei Liu: (Q7) Yes, I’m in my second year at college so I’m only available in the evenings and at weekends at the moment Manager: OK, let’s have a look at what we’ve got Right, well, there’s a position as a kitchen assistant available It’s at the Carousel Café down on Swann Street Wei Liu: Sorry, could you spell the name? Manager: Yes, it’s C-A-R-O-U-S-E-L Wei Liu: Thanks So, when would I have to work? Manager: Well, it says here that they need staff for Saturday and Sunday, so that would be OK for you, wouldn’t it? Wei Liu: Yes, it would I guess the job involves washing the dishes Manager: That’s right It says here they have a dishwasher though, so you’d load the dishes and take them out Oh, but before you that, you first have to clear the tables in the café and take the dishes into the kitchen for washing Wei Liu: Fine Is there anything else? Manager: Bellamy’s Restaurant is looking for waiting staff That’s not for the weekends though, that would be two evenings a week – Thursday and Friday You the things normally associated with that kind of job – taking orders and serving the food There are also some cleaning duties too Wei Liu: That sounds reasonable Manager: The final job we’ve got that might suit you is for a barista Wei Liu: A what? Manager: (Q8) A barista, you know someone who serves coffee This job is at a department store all day on a Saturday Wei Liu: Oh, in Tanner’s? Manager: No, well, yes (Q9) Tanner’s has a new owner and so the name recently changed to Millerby’s It’s spelt M-Idouble L-E-R-B-Y-apostrophe-S Page of pages Wei Liu: Great, thanks What would I have to there? Manager: You’d need to make and serve hot drinks They also sell cakes there so you’d need to bake them first thing in the morning (Q10) They are pre-prepared so you wouldn’t need to be an expert – just put them into the oven Part 3: Eddie: Well Jenny, I understand you’ve had a meteoric career rise in the world of Formula Seven, and you’re now the top-ranked driver around Jenny: Thanks Eddie And I hope to be banging on the doors of Formula One fairly soon Actually the privilege is all mine, to be talking to you, one of the all-time greats of Formula One … Eddie: … of 30 years ago! It’s all very different now! Jenny: I wanted to ask you about being number one I suspect next season is going to be my hardest ever – sustaining the mental effort when everyone is out to beat you I’m now the target, instead of the chaser Eddie: For me it was an asset, not a burden, and I wore it as such Jenny: But at the end of last season I was 14 points clear This time the slate is wiped clean and we all start with the same points tally Eddie: (Q11) But you have to think that the magic number one gives you a clear psychological advantage Somehow you must end up perceiving this number as a symbol Jenny: OK, that’s useful advice Eddie: But I gather it wasn’t easy for you With three races to go, you were having a bit of a wobble, weren’t you? Jenny: Yes, Tokyo and Brussels were disastrous races The press were sure I’d blown it, and Brian Norton, the leading race-driving journalist, wrote me off completely Eddie: I wouldn’t worry Brian’s well known for being opinionated and outspoken, and I think a lot of people appreciate that He calls it as he sees it, and I’m sure it was nothing personal Jenny: The important thing is I never gave up on myself Brian Norton has every right to have another opinion, but it left a bad taste in my mouth Anyway, he had to eat humble pie when I ran away with the title (Q12) So I think he spurred me on – perhaps I should thank him Eddie: There’s a thought! Jenny: Eddie, you were winning Grand Prix’s when I was a baby! One thing I’ve always wanted to ask you is what differences you see between Formula One then and now Eddie: Well, we were driving cars that were not actually much slower than those of today, but we had no safety fences or anything Look, motorsport’s always going to be risky, but obviously Formula One has improved so much in that respect I will say, though, that the mutual understanding of danger made an impact on us , (Q13) and the drivers formed stronger bonds than they today Jenny: Today, it feels that you’re just, like, flat out There’s no time – not even for yourself (Q13) Everyone concentrates on themselves in the team and you’re not aware of much else So I’m sure you’re right on that score Eddie: Interesting Jenny: Another thing that’s moved on of course, is the technology Eddie: Yes Do you find those simulator things helpful? We never had them Jenny: I think so It’s just like sitting in a real car, with a huge screen in front of you, and it jerks to imitate every movement you might make So we can use it to improve our racing skills We tend to use it a lot before the season kicks off, because real testing is so limited Eddie: In my day, we received no data from the car, so, when we wanted to try out something new, any results came from just interpreting our gut feelings at the time Jenny: Right, (Q14) but I can really familiarise myself with a new track, so that by the time I go out on the real circuit, I just have to iron out the creases, as it were Eddie: (Q14) I can see that a simulator can help you iron out your faults But it’s certainly not a fitness trainer … Jenny: Sure, that’s definitely one significant difference to real life But maybe that’s a good thing, otherwise drivers might as well just compete against each other in a simulator! [both laugh] Eddie: Quite so Jenny: Eddie, I wanted to ask you something personal, and that is why you seemed to finish all involvement with racing, as soon as you retired from driving Page of pages Eddie: Well, sometimes you just want a clean break I didn’t have anything left to achieve, and things like coaching or commentating held no appeal As you know I’ve got my own chain of Eddie Kiwitz restaurants, and perhaps I just wanted a new challenge But you know, your supposition isn’t strictly true, because (Q15) I do a sideline as an after-dinner speaker talking about my life in motor racing Mind you, it’s more an irreverent, nostalgic look backwards rather than engaging with today’s racing world, so I wouldn’t claim to be in the know any more Part 4: Politics are a powerful and dynamic human creation, a truth most evident in revolutions around the world A revolution, in a political sense, is a (Q16) sudden and seismic shift from one form of government to another While revolutions come in many forms, they often share four characteristics in varying degrees (Q17) Dissident elites, mass frustration, shared motivation, and state crises All together, these factors have ignited some of the most radical changes throughout history Revolutions are often facilitated by a dissident elite This particular group is comprised of people with wealth, power, or an education who are willing to challenge the existing adminisitration Elites played a critical role in the American Revolution, one of the earliest revolutions in modern history American colonists, under the rule of Great Britain, won a war for their independence in 1783 Colonial elites like Thomas Jefferson, who would later become a United States president, fueled the revolt by contributing their (Q25) resources toward reform Frustration among the masses also plays a critical role in social upheavals When a large percentage of a population feels grave discontent with their political, economic, and social institutions, they may revolt Only a few years after the American Revolution, the people of France initiated their own revolt Several factors, including economic difficulties and an (Q21) antiquated feudal system that fueled social inequalities all contributed to the dissent Ultimately, French society permanently (Q22) ousted their monarchy and replaced it with a republic Another characteristic found in revolutions is a shared motivation Shared motivations are what unify a large enough number of people, specifically from multiple classes and groups, to effectively rebel These motivations helped the revolutions of Latin America in the early 19th century Ruled by Spain and Portugal at the time, colonists from multiple Latin American classes and ethnicities were inspired by the Enlightenment The intellectual movement challenged tradition, including traditional (Q19) forms of governance, and ended up playing a role in the fight for (Q20) colonists' independence in Latin America Severe state crises also motivate revolutions In particular, an administration's failure to meet the needs of its people make it vulnerable to insurgency The revolutions of early 20th century Russia occurred because of the government's (Q23) exceptional frailty Its political, military, and economic systems had been virtually decimated by the state's defeats in World War I The nation's power vacuum then led to revolts that replaced (Q24) Russia's imperial state and created the world's first communist regime Virtually all revolutions experience severe state crises, shared motivations, mass frustrations, and a dissident elite to some degree While revolutions may involve different players, governments, and cultures, the characteristics they share help them (Q18) transcend their differences and demonstrate the dynamism of human nature and politics Page of pages ...transitional devices) PENALTIES • • • • Underlength (less than 110 words) / Overlength (more than 150 words): minus points Technical errors: minus 0.5 points each... points clear This time the slate is wiped clean and we all start with the same points tally Eddie: (Q11) But you have to think that the magic number one gives you a clear psychological advantage Somehow
