Section 1.

Listen to the telephone conversation between a student and the owner of a paragliding school.

Hello.

Paragliders Paradise.

How can I help you?

Oh hi.

I'm interested in doing a course in paragliding.

Which course are you interested in?

Well, I'm not sure.

What's available?

We.. we've got the introductory course,

which lasts for two days.

Okay.

Or there's the four-day beginner's course.

There's also the elementary pilot course,

which takes five to six days, depending on condition.

We might try the beginner's course.

What sort of prices are we looking at?

The introductory is $190.00.

The beginners course, which is what you'd probably be looking at, is $320.

No, sorry, $330.

It's just gone up.

And the pilot course is $430.

Right.

And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured.

That'll cost you $12 a day.

Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.

Does that cover me if I break a leg?

No, I'm afraid not.

It's only third party, and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings.

but not theft or injury.

You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.

I see.

And what's the best way to get to your place?

By public transport or could we come by bike?

We're pretty keen cyclists.

It's difficult by public transport,

although there is a bus from Newcastle.

Most people get here by car though,

because we're a little off the beaten track.

But you could ride here, okay?

I'll send you a map.

Just let me take down a few details.

What's your name?

Maria Gentle.

And your address, Maria?

Well, I'm a student staying with the family in Newcastle.

So, it's care of?

Care of Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald.

Like the hamburgers?

Yes, exactly.

MacDonald.

The post office box address is probably best.

It's Pier Box 2492, Newcastle.

Is there a fax number there?

Because I could fax you the information.

Yes, actually there is.

It's 0249, that is for Newcastle, and then 760412.

OK.

Now, if you decide to do one of our courses,

you'll need to book in advance and to pay when you book.

How would you be paying?

By credit card, if that's OK.

Do you take Visa?

Yes, fine.

We take all major cards,

including Visa, Master and American Express.

OK then.

Thanks very much.

Hi, Pauline.

Hi, Maria.

What's that you're reading?

Just some information from a paragliding school.

It looks really good fun.

Do you fancy a go at paragliding?

Sure.

Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?

Not really.

The school provides the equipment,

but we'd have to take a few things along.

Such as?

Well, it says here, clothes wear stout boots,

so no sneakers or sandals, I suppose.

And clothes suitable for an active day in the hills,

preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.

That's probably in case you land in the stinging nettles.

It also says we should bring a packed lunch.

We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee.

Water is really the best thing to drink.

We'd also need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun.

Okay, that sounds reasonable.

And where would we stay?

Well, look.

They seem to operate a campsite,

too, because it says here that it's only $10 a day to pitch a tent.

That'd be fine, wouldn't it?

And that way we'd save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.

Um, or perhaps we could stay in a bed and breakfast nearby.

100

It gives a couple of names here we could ring.

101

I think I might prefer that.

102

Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm,

103

and I don't fancy a caravan.

104

No, I agree.

105

But let's take a tent and pray for good weather.

106

Okay, let's do it.

107

What about next weekend?

108

No, I can't.

109

I'm going on a geography field trip.

110

And then it's the weekend before exams and I really need to study.

111

Okay then, let's make it the one after the exams.

112

Fine, we'll need a break by then.

113

Can you ring and...

114

Section 2.

115

You are going to hear an interviewer who is interviewing Alan.

116

He made a great discovery of Mungo National Park.

117

An event occurred in 1996 over a period of three days

118

that attracted considerable attention at the time and led to a new find in Mungo National Park,

119

which is the focal point of the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area in New South Wales, Australia.

120

I talked to Alan Moore,

121

the organizer of this trip, about his experience.

122

Alan, what was the purpose of your trip?

123

Well, as you know, I love the outback

124

and lead tours of people wanting to go into more remote parts of the country.

125

However, I thought it was time for me too to have a holiday.

126

So I packed up my family and we went to Mungo National Park.

127

Why did you choose this location?

128

It holds a record of aboriginal life stretching back over 40,000 years.

129

And of course, I wanted my young kids to be amazed by the main feature of the park,

130

The remarkable Walls of China,

131

as they're called, where wind and water erosion have exposed this long history.

132

I see.

133

What was the weather like?

134

It was unusual for that time of year.

135

The rain was just one continual downpour after another.

136

We were always soaked to the skin.

137

So we decided to cut our holiday short and only stayed three days in the end.

138

However, it was eventful.

139

The obvious problem was to get back to the nearest town a small place called Boronga

140

But the dirt roads out there are always impassable after rain

141

so we settled down for a long wet wait in the park We didn't really mind

142

because the scenery was so interesting However,

143

the kids wandered away without our noticing

144

and eventually we realized they must be lost

145

So we used our two-way radio to contact the park rangers and the police and a helicopter was sent Luckily,

146

the kids were found within a few hours,

147

but they'd made an important discovery.

148

So, the trip was also eventful for another reason, wasn't it?

149

Yes, yes.

150

They led us to some ancient aboriginal art.

151

The kids had taken shelter in a very small,

152

low cave that was difficult to see from the outside.

153

We were lucky to have another family camping in our location.

154

When they heard us calling the kids,

155

they immediately helped us search for them,

156

and as the hours went by,

157

they also provided us with much needed support and encouragement.

158

We really appreciated their help,

159

and as we were already soaked through after looking for the kids for a couple of hours,

160

they even made sure we had enough dry clothes to wear.

161

The park ranger managed to get through to us to lead the search,

162

and when the helicopter pilot notified us by two-way radio that he'd seen the children but was unable to land nearby,

163

we were able to eventually find them very excited about what was in their little cave.

164

And what did you think of their cave?

165

Well, after squeezing in, I must say I was impressed and managed to take a few photos of it before we left.

166

There were many faint markings and dots on the wall.

167

It was difficult to tell what they represented because they were so small,

168

but people from the museum who have since visited there said

169

the markings were similar to some other findings in the area and later confirmed they were very old.

170

Although it's now a protected site,

171

the children like to call it their cave and are allowed to visit it when a ranger can go with them.

172

Thank you, Alan.

173

If you go to Mungo National Park,

174

you can see the entrance to the cave and some of Alan's photos at the ranger's station.

175

Alan continues to lead tour groups in the Outback,

176

and if you want further information...

177

Section 3.

178

You are going to hear a conversation between Sally and Ben.

179

They are new college students.

180

Hi Ben!

181

Sally.

182

How are you?

183

Fine.

184

I wondered if I'd run into you.

185

When did you get here?

186

I only arrived last night, just in time.

187

I prefer to travel on Sundays to miss the working rush.

188

I suppose you arrived in plenty of time.

189

Oh, I've been here for four days now,

190

so it must have been Thursday that I arrived.

191

I like to have a good chance to look around and settle in.

192

I should have come earlier too.

193

I'm hoping to get a part-time job.

194

Well you've no time today I suppose.

195

Do you still plan to be an architect?

196

Yes, it's what I've always wanted to do.

197

And you were planning to do economics, weren't you?

198

Yes I was, but now I've decided on psychology instead.

199

How many textbooks do you have to get?

200

I've been given this long list and I'm sure they'll cost a fortune.

201

See?

202

That looks a lot.

203

It's longer than my list.

204

Well, it's 14, all told.

205

So I might use library copies instead of buying some of them.

206

What about you?

207

I'll probably buy the whole lot of mine because I only have five on my list.

208

Although I'm sure there are many more I'll have to read.

209

Luckily we don't have to read them all straight away.

210

Have you got your class timetable yet?

211

It came with the book list.

212

When do your lectures start?

213

Tuesday, that's tomorrow.

214

How about yours?

215

I've got an extra day,

216

the day after your start.

217

It's nothing like school, is it?

218

Not so far.

219

And the lectures will certainly be different.

220

Do you have any special approach for keeping up with lectures and the amount we have to read?

221

Well, I usually try to read every word in a book,

222

in case I miss something important.

223

so I suppose I'll try to write down every word of the lecture if I can.

224

Oh, I couldn't do that.

225

I'd get cramp in my fingers and I wouldn't really hear what was being said.

226

I usually skim a book when I read and underline key parts,

227

so I guess I'll try to make notes on the main points of the lecture.

228

Have you thought of using a cassette recorder?

229

You mean to record the lecture?

230

Yep.

231

Then you could make really good notes.

232

Is it allowed?

233

I think so.

234

It must be.

235

Plenty of people seem to do it.

236

It has to be better than trying to write every word as you listen.

237

Anyway, what's your first lecture about?

238

Oh, it's on the Industrial Revolution.

239

The Industrial Revolution?

240

Sounds boring to me.

241

Not really.

242

It made a big difference to everything, including architecture eventually.

243

So what's your first lecture about?

244

It's about what separates humans from other animals animals.

245

Okay.

246

Look, I was on my way to the library to check out some of these books on my list.

247

I have a tutorial paper to give in a couple of weeks.

248

Oh.

249

What's the topic?

250

Well, I think our lecturer must have trouble thinking up topics.

251

The topic is.. why study architecture?

252

I don't know.

253

It could give you a chance to set out what you want to do.

254

I guess so.

255

Have you been given any tutorials to do yet?

256

Yes, mine is called Needs for Sleep.

257

Sounds almost as interesting as mine.

258

Section 4.

259

In this section, you are going to hear a talk introducing the courses and entry requirements of the Department of Psychology.

260

Good morning and welcome to the Department of Psychology's Information Day for new and intending students.

261

I'm the head of the department and today we plan to give you a clear idea of the main courses we offer,

262

their entry requirements, duration and the types of jobs you might obtain after gaining these qualifications.

263

During the course of the day,

264

I hope you will take the opportunity to talk to staff and attend information sessions for particular courses that may interest you.

265

Some of these courses are open to school leavers,

266

but some have particular entry requirements,

267

so it is important to note these.

268

Firstly, the certificate in Psychology is offered as a six-month course,

269

for those wanting a general introduction to the subject for personal or work-related purposes.

270

There are no specific entry requirements.

271

At undergraduate diploma level, we provide a one-year Diploma in Psychology course,

272

designed for those already in employment whose work and previous training is not in psychology.

273

There are no particular entry requirements and students in this course usually take it to help them progress into their careers.

274

For a major in psychology we offer a three-year degree course called a Bachelor of Arts,

275

after which students can go on to take other courses if they want to specialise in psychology.

276

The only requirement for this course is the usual undergraduate admission to university.

277

Now for the more specialised courses in psychology we offer a Masters degree to be taken over 18 months.

278

This can be by research or coursework but entry to this programme is only through first gaining a degree in psychology.

279

That means you must have a degree majoring in psychology.

280

And lastly, for those wanting clinical qualifications at postgraduate level,

281

we offer a diploma in clinical psychology over a 12 month period,

282

usually called clinical psychology diploma for short.

283

The minimum entry requirement for this programme is an appropriate honours degree.

284

Now, it's also important that you have some understanding of the types of work these courses can prepare you for,

285

and it's useful to know the relationship between the work you might do after you complete the course

286

and the work of others who have studied different courses in psychology.

287

As I said before, the certificate in psychology is for personal interest

288

or possibly for work related purposes but doesn't qualify you in any particular way.

289

Our students in this course can range from women who have stopped work to care for their children

290

and the children have now commenced school to the support staff in a specialised publishing company.

291

They really vary a lot.

292

The undergraduate diploma usually attracts people working in offices such as banks or in some government departments.

293

If you gain a degree with a major in psychology,

294

again, you are not professionally trained,

295

but this could enable you to undertake further training to obtain professional qualifications,

296

or it might just be part of a first degree

297

that will help you to get a good job that doesn't require particular specialisation at that stage.

298

After completing a master's degree you would expect to have some specialisation,

299

perhaps in research or on a particular aspect of psychology such as child development.

300

For those who also have a clinical diploma there are a wide range of jobs available.

301

Some focus on helping people with personal adjustment or family problems,

302

others might concentrate more on using psychological tests

303

or perhaps working in particular institutions such as those for the mentally ill or in prisons.

304

There are many other job opportunities so if you are interested to discuss possibilities with any of the staff today.

305

This is the end of section 4.

306

You now have half a minute to check your answers.
