You'll hear a telephone conversation between a man who is looking for a summer job as a fruit picker and a woman who owns a farm.

Manor Farm, hello.

Hi there.

I'd like to apply to do fruit picking this summer.

Oh, hello.

I'm Mrs Chandler.

My husband and I own Manor Farm.

Let me take some details.

I'll just get a form to fill in.

Hold on.

Sure.

Sorry.

Right.

Your name is...

It's Ben Miller.

And where are you from?

I'm from the USA.

Fine.

Um, can I ask your age?

I'm 20.

You only take people over the age of 16, don't you?

Yes, that's right.

Are you able to work in the UK?

Sorry?

I mean, do you have a visa?

Oh, yeah.

I have a thing called a blue card.

It's valid until November.

That's fine, then.

We'll need fruit pickers from the middle of June until the end of September.

What's your availability?

When can I work?

Um, I'd like to do July, August and September, and could do October if there's any work then.

OK.

Did you find out about us through our website?

That's right.

It's much easier than going through an agency.

I see you need most pickers in September for apples and pears, but the whole picking season can last about 16 weeks.

Well, yes, but it's a question of the weather.

That determines how much fruit we grow, of course.

That's why I can't give you exact picking dates now.

I see.

Oh, well, no problem.

Can you tell me what pickers earn?

Well, that depends on age.

The rate is £4.50 an hour for the under-18s, but as you're over 18, it would rise to £5.60 an hour.

Uh-huh.

Your website says that you don't provide accommodation for pickers, so I guess I should arrange that in advance.

Yes.

There is no accommodation on the farm, but there is a campsite about 15 minutes away.

Is that walking distance?

What do you think?

No. Maybe I should bring my bike to get around.

Yes, we always recommend that.

Some pickers bring a car but then find the roads rather narrow, and the bus is very infrequent.

Do you have any questions?

I know that fruit picking is hard work, but is there anything special I need to bring with me?

Well, firstly, documentation is extremely important.

We will need proof of age, so we'll expect to see your passport.

Pickers without one won't be allowed to work.

Oh, even if their age is written on their driving license?

Sorry, a driving license isn't suitable.

Fair enough.

I guess some lunch is provided for all the hungry fruit pickers.

I'm afraid not You'll need to bring your own food for lunch And more importantly, enough water to last a full day It can get very hot, so drinking is vital

Right, like back home Okay, well, thanks for all the information What happens now?

Well, I'll post a contract to you

Section 2 You will hear a radio announcer describing a city in New Zealand called Gisborne.

Greetings all you listeners out there.

This is National Radio and I'm Kevin Lowe.

This morning I'm going to tell you what's so special about the laid back city of Gisborne.

You'll hear a little bit about its past in the old days and a lot about what attractions it has to offer foreign and domestic visitors today.

So listen up to learn more about what there is to do in this city and its surrounding region, where the economy is booming but the lifestyle remains unspoiled.

The Gisborne region is where the legendary canoe sailed by Maori explorers first landed in New Zealand about 1400 years ago, after its long and risky voyage over the sea.

It is also the easternmost point of the country, which is what inspired its original name, Te Tarafiti, which in the Maori language means the coast where the sun rises across the waters.

Gisborne was also the place where the European explorer Captain Cook first landed his boat upon discovering New Zealand all the way from England back in 1769.

Even in those early days, this district was a centre of horticulture, thanks to its fertile soil and subtropical climate.

Soon after that, of course, the English settlers arrived and soon Gisborne was shipping its products to larger settlements such as Auckland and Wellington.

This began with maize and root crops but quickly expanded to butter, meat and wool from the agricultural settlements in the rich pastoral country near the famous Poverty Bay.

Wharves and jetties were built beside the sea to service the coastal traders.

Many of these wooden structures can still be seen on Gisborne beaches today.

Today Gisborne continues to export fresh produce to other regions of New Zealand.

These wares include various award-winning cheeses and, of course, the delicious lobsters and snapper fish harvested by hand from the local reefs and waters.

As for exports to Asian markets, there's an increasing demand for the region's oranges and lemons.

Gisborne is also becoming well known nationally and internationally as the source of some top quality white and red grapes.

Now, what's on in Gisborne?

Well, first up, There's the annual Gisbon concert held every summer time.

This is a great experience.

It's held at Waiahikia Vineyard, which is near the traditional Maori meeting house, or Marai of the same name.

They bring in a piano player and opera singers who perform on a purpose-built stage in a kind of natural amphitheatre, in the middle of the rows of grapes.

It's a fantastic concert-like atmosphere, a really good night out.

What to do on a rainy day?

I'd suggest a visit to the show called The Beach, which is on in Gallery 1 at Tairafiti Museum.

It's a big display, so it also takes up the hall next to Gallery 1, and it's divided into different sections of the local culture like surfing, camping, fashion and so on.

If you buy the book of the exhibition, there are some interesting photographs in there.

There's a lot else to see in Gisborne as well.

You shouldn't miss the Hot Springs Reserve, which has warm natural mineral pools and little houses where you can stay amongst the bush.

100

Being very secluded and private, this resort is most favoured by newlyweds who often book a cabin for their honeymoon.

101

water is very therapeutic too.

102

It's apparently good for your health to bathe there, though not recommended for pregnant women or the elderly.

103

Around the corner is Mahia Peninsula, legendary as a New Year's Eve party destination for large crowds of university students after their graduation.

104

The surfing and fishing here is excellent, and it's a safe spot for swimming and diving too.

105

Now, also good for kids is taking a raft or jet boat ride on the Motu River.

106

This sounds quite wild, doesn't it?

107

But in fact, this activity is often used by local primary schools who take big groups of young children, several classes at a time, out here for a bit of fun while they're on their school camp.

108

No parents required.

109

You can have some time out, as this activity is a lot safer than it sounds and is carefully supervised by the rafting company.

110

Finally, don't let's forget the Eden Woodlands Park, which is really a huge tree nursery.

111

You can walk for hours here in the peaceful green surroundings, along a variety of tracks.

112

There's even a very nice walkway made wide enough for those in wheelchairs, so that everyone can go along and enjoy Mother Nature at her best.

113

Section 3 You will hear three marketing students discussing their research findings on vehicles known as SUVs or four-wheel drive vehicles.

114

so guys have you got all your notes on four-wheel drive vehicles shall we go through what we've each found and think

115

about how we'll put it together for next week's marketing seminar yeah sure uh let's start with what these cars were originally designed for oh i've got something on that here

116

well four-wheel drives or sports utility vehicles as they are officially known

117

SUVs for short, were originally designed for off-road use by people who need to get to remote areas out in the bush for instance,

118

but the interesting thing is that they're actually sold now to a lot of people who just use them in cities, so they make quite different use of them.

119

Okay, then maybe we should make a list of their advantages, shall we?

120

So one thing is

121

that they're good for commercial use okay um how about also saying uh utilitarian

122

rather than luxurious so you're not paying out for unnecessary luxuries okay what else

123

well um they have increased engine capacity and they're also heavier so suitable for towing large loads

124

so is this why so many people buy them then well no they seem to become fashionable now for rather

125

different reasons research carried out by automobile clubs shows that people buy them for business because of the

126

sort of image they project and mums like to drive their kids to school in them because they think they're safe so

127

that's another reason and you can get about seven people into one of these so we could say seating capacity

128

is another factor okay another thing that came out of my research is that people also like the higher

129

seats they say it means they can get a better view of the traffic ahead of them but you

130

know some of these reasons just don't work i mean the safety thing is just a misconception because generally in a collision they can do terrible damage to a smaller car.

131

That's right.

132

That's one of the disadvantages I have here.

133

Shall we go through those now?

134

Good idea.

135

So let's say that potentially they are harmful in built-up areas.

136

Generally the damage they cause is due to their weight.

137

That's right, isn't it?

138

Yes, it is.

139

I've got a note here about their chassis.

140

The bodywork on an SUV is stiffer and doesn't crumple to absorb impact in a collision the way it does in smaller

141

cars and there's another reason why they're not safe it's quite easy for them to roll over more so than an ordinary car

142

because they've got a high centre of gravity so these are all the disadvantages how are we going to round this up well

143

um i think maybe we could round up with a few ideas of how we can limit the use of these suvs one thing that could be done is to limit them to people like farmers who can prove that they need them.

144

That's good, but it might be hard to enforce.

145

Companies could also increase the insurance for SUVs since they cause more damage when there's an accident.

146

That's a good idea too.

147

I'll tell you what guys I'll write up these notes onto an OHT so that everyone can see them when we talk through our notes in the seminar but I think we need to put together a list of our sources too yeah can you do that

148

Section 4.

149

You will hear part of a student presentation about a conservation project on the Florida coast of the United States.

150

Today I'm going to be talking about the first year of a regeneration project in a mangrove forest.

151

Mangrove forests are found along river estuaries and coastlines and are important because they prevent flooding by acting as a barrier between the land and sea.

152

The mangrove trees have special roots which can breathe and allow them to survive in thick, airless mud.

153

They are also a very important habitat for wading birds, fish, and other animals.

154

In the area where the project is taking place,

155

there have been a number of problems since the area was first settled over 100 years ago many of the

156

mangrove trees were initially burnt as firewood by local farmers the mangrove forests were also poisoned by settlers farming

157

methods because the farmers used fertilizer to increase crop yields and this started to seep into the water eventually

158

killing part of the mangrove forest farming in the area wasn't successful and what was left of the mangrove forest area

159

wasn't valued by local people as crops couldn't be grown there and so what happened

160

was that the area started to be used as somewhere to dump trash action

161

was urgently needed to protect the mangrove forest and prevent flooding and so the mangrove regeneration project was set up the conservationists involved decided to construct a sand barrier around the forests.

162

But unfortunately, this proved to be ineffective.

163

The only way forward appeared to be to grow new mangroves from seed.

164

Several species of mangrove inhabit the forests in this area of the United States, but it is the gray mangroves that we are concerned with here.

165

The seed of this plant is about the size of an almond, and most seeds fall only when they are fully ripe.

166

The mangrove regeneration project first began three years ago.

167

The first set of seedlings was planted in small pots and left to germinate in a hothouse.

168

The plants thrived, and large roots appeared at the bottom of the pots.

169

Ideally, these seedlings should have been conditioned with increasingly salty water before being planted in the sea.

170

They had, in fact, only been watered with rainwater.

171

As the plants weren't used to a saline environment, it was decided to plant them out on the south side of a small island nearby.

172

It was hoped that this would allow them to get used to salt water gradually, since this part of the island was flooded every day at high tide.

173

There were over 100 plants planted in this particular spot,

174

and it was necessary to protect them not from the large number of wading birds which visit the area looking for

175

food but from the large rabbit colony living in the area the process for the second set of seedlings

176

was completely different young seedlings were collected from the forests and then taken to a new site the

177

seedlings were then planted in the seabed behind old mangrove roots for protection however this This method did not prove very successful, and the vast majority of these seedlings were washed away in a storm.

178

Luckily, the first set of seedlings survived, and this method is the one which the project will continue to use in the future.

179

Now I'd like to describe in more detail the process.
