Part 1

That's often true.

With our company, you can be insured for different amounts.

For instance, in Section 1,

Baggage and Personal Effects, you can be insured for all five subsections or for as few as two.

I think I'd like insurance for all five since I'm going to some unsafe places.

Wise decision.

By the way, can a camera be counted as a single item

or must it be included in cameras and portable electronic equipment

if you have an expensive camera you can nominate it as

a single item our maximum payout is fifteen hundred dollars occasionally people have their camera

and computer stolen together

if insurance is only taken out on subsection 2 this may

not cover the replacement of both things that's what happened with my previous policy however in

that one there was a higher limit for lost

or stolen money yours is only 700 these days with credit cards people don't carry much cash

so we've set the limit accordingly still we pay out well

for documents indeed in the disrupted travel section reasonable costs is written for a missed connection

or an early return instead of an amount of money.

What exactly are reasonable costs?

Put it this way.

If you miss your flight due to poor weather that is verifiable,

we pay $300 per day of lost time.

If you arrive at check-in as the aircraft is leaving because you overslept,

we still pay out, but only $100 a day.

We rely on information from the airline to determine this.

Are you also interested in vehicle insurance?

Yes, I am.

I'm about to buy a nice old car, a vintage Jaguar XJ6.

Hey, I used to have one of those,

although nowadays I prefer old motorbikes.

Did you know you can insure a vehicle on its own,

or you can include it in our multi-saver policy,

along with your house and contents?

Yes, I saw that.

It's true I'm buying an expensive car,

but I rent my house,

so I'm not ready for multisaver.

I understand.

Have you decided which level of cover you'd like for your car?

Top cover.

Are you sure?

It is pricey.

I know.

But last time I had insurance,

I wasn't covered for storm damage.

Don't tell me that was just before the November hailstorm.

Uh-huh.

So, I need storm damage insurance.

Also, I'd like my policy to start as soon as I've paid for it.

With my old one, there was a stand-down period of two weeks.

Would you believe I backed into a wall just three days after I'd taken out the policy?

Oh, dear.

Then, I spent months fighting with the insurance company over the value of my car.

I know it wasn't worth much,

but it was relatively new.

If you choose top cover,

we agree on a value for your car and renegotiate each year to avoid disputes.

Again, it's not as cheap as some,

but the policy works out better in the long run.

Part 2 Hello everyone, thanks for attending tonight's event.

Let me start with the early history of our charity, iSaver.

iSaver was founded by retired optometrist Timothy Gaines.

I have spent much of my working life at EyeSaver.

I am 60 years old now and I started working for this organization 15 years ago,

when I left a corporate position to help people with eye problems.

Now our charity has been helping people for three decades.

You may know that we are now doing various other things to help people with eye problems.

That includes medications for children with eye diseases and operational help to those in the public who have eye problems.

But when Mr. Gaines just founded EyeSaver,

he wanted the program to be able to offer common eye equipment to those who needed it.

receive occasional donations from corporations and charity groups.

Now we have over 1,500 volunteers who work on the streets with the little red donation boxes

which many of you are familiar with.

And this is the main source of funding for us.

Besides, we are planning to work to secure donations from wealthy benefactors.

Many people are passionate about Charity Cause and have been inquiring how to donate money to us.

I really appreciate that.

But our main need is to collect glasses for our patients.

Many of you have multiple pairs of old glasses in your possession

and we encourage you to gather these pairs which you no longer need and donate them to our cause.

In doing this, you'll be able to make sure that someone else can see better.

Most of us cannot imagine a life in which we are unable to see well.

This is why your eyeglass donations are so critical to our mission.

And, as a side note, we offer full-time positions.

Let me know if you are interested.

Our goal is to make people aware that even the smallest of donations can help change a person's life.

So, your donation can be a turning point for them.

The other day, when I was talking to some people on the street,

they were surprised to find out how easily some eye problems can be cured.

And I am proud to say that our next program will aim at educating people about common eye diseases.

We are able to prevent many fatal eye problems.

In order to publicize our charity program,

we surely need to do some advertising.

When we first started our program,

we used computers to create awareness for our cause.

For instance, promoting seminars in which we informed people as to how they could help us to solve eye problems.

But in recent years, the main means of advertising our program is through audio recordings.

We have found it cost efficient and effective.

100

It's good to know that many of our staff are recommending our program to their friends and colleagues.

101

But I am afraid that our training cannot show people the whole picture of our program.

102

Finally, I would like to tell you about some organizations which have played important roles in the development and success of iSaver.

103

Our affiliation with the National Vision Funding Group has allowed us to gain fame and to become even more significant.

104

So many people around the country are coming for our services.

105

Our association with the Eye for the Future organization has allowed us to run cooperative ads by

106

which we seek producers of equipment to work with us.

107

Meanwhile, some of our staff has been sent to this organization for some special training.

108

Their skills should be improved very soon.

109

Also, we have had a long time cooperation with SAM's EyeCare Institution.

110

Our relationship with it has given us the opportunity to link with many different academic institutions,

111

including colleges and universities with good reputation.

112

And we have a similar friendship with a group called Youth Health.

113

Our connection with that group allows us to link directly with young kids since this is a crucial stage in their growth.

114

We plan to contact with some colleges and hope that with their help,

115

more college students could get to know our program.

116

Also, as you can see,

117

we have all bases covered in linking with students,

118

as we have affiliations directly with both administrators and the students themselves.

119

Thank you so much for your attention today.

120

As we try to stamp out eye problems,

121

we will appreciate your donations,

122

no matter how large or how small.

123

Part 3 Come in, Rangi.

124

Thank you, Professor Anderson.

125

I've been meaning to contact you,

126

but I just got back last night.

127

Where have you been?

128

Conferences in Massachusetts and New York.

129

For physics?

130

Yes.

131

Great.

132

I'm looking forward to attending conferences one day.

133

I imagine that won't be so far away.

134

I was extremely impressed with your classical mechanics exam.

135

In fact, you were one of only two students out of 180 to get an A+.

136

Wow, I really did enjoy the course.

137

So how can I help you?

138

I'm sorry to say it's a bit of a long story.

139

You see, I've had to rethink my studies completely,

140

and I wonder if I'm making the right decision.

141

You're doing two degrees, aren't you?

142

Science and Arts.

143

I was doing two.

144

I've decided to focus on science.

145

Oh?

146

It all came about because I wanted to study abroad for a year.

147

I was thinking about Edinburgh.

148

Firstly, I sought approval from the maths and physics departments.

149

I wanted to take quantum mechanics and computer simulations at Edinburgh.

150

Those are third-year courses, right?

151

Yeah.

152

So I received approval from maths and physics.

153

The stumbling block was the higher authority, the science faculty.

154

When I submitted my application, it was rejected.

155

What?

156

It turns out that students who study abroad for a year can only do first

157

or second year courses or third year courses in a subject that's not their major.

158

I've never heard that before.

159

Needless to say, the lecturers who approved my transfer hadn't either,

160

and nor does the regulation appear on the science faculty website.

161

That'd be right.

162

This faculty is disorganised.

163

So, then I thought I'd take arts courses at Edinburgh and leave the third year maths until I came back.

164

I quickly got approval for second year history and philosophy from the arts faculty.

165

When are you heading off?

166

That's just it.

167

During this process, I began to think carefully about my studies.

168

To be honest, the arts courses I've done were less challenging than the science ones,

169

so I've decided to drop arts.

170

Where do I figure in all this?

171

The first week after I'd made my decision, I felt fine.

172

Without doing the arts courses,

173

I could finish my science degree earlier.

174

But this week, I've had some doubts.

175

When I started the two degrees,

176

lecturers in the science faculty assured me that these days scientists need a rounded education.

177

which they get if they take some arts courses.

178

I was even told I'd learn to write and think better if I did philosophy.

179

I do think the claims made by some lecturers are dubious.

180

Then there's the fact that now I'm going to be stuck here next year.

181

I was so excited about going to Europe.

182

It is disappointing to give that up.

183

Still, the reason I wanted to contact you,

184

Rangie, is that I'm looking for students to work six hours a week in my lab.

185

It's paid work, not highly paid,

186

but probably better than working in a bar.

187

Also, we've just bought a new laser,

188

which you'd learn to use.

189

That sounds excellent.

190

As to going abroad, why not do your postgraduate studies in the US?

191

There's some amazing physics being done in Massachusetts.

192

If you like, I can send you the papers from the conference.

193

Thanks.

194

Of course, I'd be sad to lose you if you did go abroad,

195

but an A-plus student like you has a very good chance of winning a major scholarship.

196

Goodness, I've never even considered that.

197

Personally, I think committing yourself to science is the way to go.

198

Thanks, Professor Anderson.

199

You've taken a load off my mind.

200

Now I don't have to deal with Hegel or Leibniz.

201

I've plenty of time to read those conference papers.

202

Welcome, students, to the daily talk on the fossils found here at Green Mountain Fossil Park.

203

First, I will tell you a little about the history of our park.

204

The park is designed to educate you on what the environment was like in this area around 5 million years ago,

205

when most of the area was at sea level and near water bodies such as lakes and seas.

206

These bodies of water provided moisture and significant plant and animal variety,

207

which has resulted in the fantastic collection of fossils which you will see today.

208

The fossils here were discovered by mine workers during the 1960s,

209

and the park itself was open to tourists and students back in 1985.

210

We have three types of fossils here in the park.

211

The first are transitional fossils.

212

These are rare fossils that appear to exhibit traits of the animal's evolutionary ancestors and its descendants,

213

such as an animal showing both dinosaur and bird-like features.

214

Next, we have preserved fossils,

215

which are more common fossilised remains.

216

These are fossils in which the structure of an animal or plant remains intact,

217

and you can clearly see something like a plant or a fish.

218

Thirdly, we have fossils which indirectly show the activities of animals,

219

such as their tracks and burrows,

220

and we refer to these as trace fossils.

221

You may wonder how fossils are formed.

222

Well, many people think it happens when organisms are caught in a volcanic eruption and are trapped in ash.

223

But in reality, these formations are rare.

224

The most common way a fossil is formed is through petrifaction.

225

An animal dies and becomes buried under mud or silt.

226

Over time, the mud hardens around the bones of the animal.

227

Eventually, the bones also decay and are replaced by minerals,

228

which form the shape of the fossil in stone.

229

You will see many of this kind of fossil today.

230

After you finish today's tour,

231

you may wish to take home a souvenir.

232

We encourage you to do so.

233

There is a shop outside the park,

234

but you can also make purchases from our exhibitions.

235

The money raised helps to fund our work of preserving this wonderful site.

236

Of course, you can also buy fossils and take them home.

237

Please don't think that all fossils are expensive to buy.

238

The majority are small and affordable samples that are as wonderful as the larger ones.

239

Don't forget to check them out.

240

As you can see, you all have some worksheets to go through here today.

241

These will help you to learn as much as you can from your visit.

242

There are also some tools you will find as you go around the site.

243

For example, there are tape measures available beside each fossil,

244

so that you can note the dimensions of each fossil.

245

This can help us to identify different species.

246

We also encourage you to use your specially designed notebook to record as many different types of rocks as you can.

247

Geology forms an important part of the study of fossils,

248

and so we want you to focus on the types.

249

If you brought a camera along with you today,

250

don't hesitate to use it as the images of the fossils will be worth reviewing later.

251

You may wish to experiment with the settings to see what they are like.

252

Here in the information centre you can pick up an information sheet which contains some useful tips on how to do that.

253

Last of all, you can practice using a compass.

254

Even though you cannot locate the fossils themselves using the compass,

255

it will help you find the sediments which are the key to the location of the fossils.

256

These are very soft so to protect the delicate fossils,

257

trowels and plastic covers are needed.

258

You will find these throughout the site, please use them.

259

Please feel free to ask any of our staff as you tour around and enjoy your day.

260

We hope you leave us today with a greater passion to study fossils further.

261

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
