Hello, South City Cycling Club.
2
Oh hi.
3
I want to find out about joining the club.
4
Right, I can help you there.
5
I'm the club secretary and my name's Jim Hunter.
6
Oh hi Jim.
7
So, are you interested in membership for yourself?
8
That's right.
9
OK, well, there are basically two types of adult membership.
10
If you're pretty serious about cycling, there's the full membership.
11
That costs $260, and that covers you not just for ordinary cycling,
12
but also for races, both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia.
13
Right.
14
Well, I'm not really up to that standard.
15
I was more interested in just joining a group to do some cycling in my free time.
16
Sure.
17
That's why most people join.
18
So in that case, you'd be better with the recreational membership.
19
That's $108 if you're over 19 and $95 if you're under.
20
I'm 25.
21
OK.
22
It's paid quarterly and you can upgrade it later to the full membership if you want to of course.
23
Now both types of membership include the club fee of $20.
24
They also provide insurance in case you have an accident,
25
though we hope you won't need that of course.
26
No. OK.
27
Well I'll go with the recreational membership I think,
28
and that allows me to join in the club activities and so on?
29
That's right.
30
And once you're a member of the club,
31
you're also permitted to wear our kit when you're out cycling.
32
It's green and white.
33
Yes, I've seen cyclists wearing it.
34
So can I buy that at the club?
35
No, it's made to order by a company in Brisbane.
36
You can find them online.
37
They're called Jerry's.
38
That's J-E-R-R-I-Z.
39
You can use your membership number to put in an order on their website.
40
OK.
41
Now, can you tell me a bit about the rides I can do?
42
Sure.
43
So, we have training rides pretty well every morning,
44
and they're a really good way of improving your cycling skills,
45
as well as your general level of fitness.
46
But they're different levels.
47
Level A is pretty fast.
48
You're looking at about 30 or 35 kilometres an hour.
49
If you can do about 25 kilometres an hour,
50
you'd probably be level B.
51
And then level C are the novices who stay at about 15 kilometres per hour.
52
Right.
53
Well, I reckon I'd be level B.
54
So when are the sessions for that level?
55
Er, there are a couple each week.
56
They're both early morning sessions.
57
There's one on Tuesdays and for that one you meet at 5.30am.
58
And the meeting point's the stadium.
59
Do you know where that is?
60
Yes, it's quite near my home in fact.
61
OK, and how about the other one?
62
That's on Thursdays.
63
It starts at the same time,
64
but they meet at the main gate to the Is that the one just past the shopping mall?
65
That's it.
66
So how long are the rides?
67
They're about an hour and a half,
68
so if you have a job it's easy to fit in before you go to work.
69
And the members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards,
70
so it's quite a social event.
71
OK, that sounds good.
72
I've only just moved to the city so I don't actually know many people yet.
73
Well, it's a great way to meet people.
74
And does each ride have a leader?
75
Sometimes, but not always.
76
But you don't really need one.
77
The group members on the ride support one another anyway.
78
How would we know where to go?
79
If you check the club website you'll see that the route for each ride is clearly marked.
80
So you can just print that out and take it along with you.
81
It's similar from one week to another,
82
but it's not always exactly the same.
83
And what do I need to bring?
84
Hmm, well, bring a bottle of water and your phone.
85
You shouldn't use it while you're cycling,
86
but have it with you.
87
Right.
88
And in winter, it's well before sunrise when we set out,
89
so you need to make sure your bike's got lights.
90
That's OK.
91
Well, thanks, Jim.
92
I'd definitely like to join.
93
So what's the best way of going about it?
94
Ah, you can...
95
Thanks for coming everyone.
96
Okay, so this meeting is for new staff and staff who haven't been involved with our volunteering projects yet.
97
So, basically, the idea is
98
that we allow staff to give up some of their work
99
time to help on various charity projects to benefit the local community.
100
We've been doing this for the last five years and it's been very successful.
101
Participating doesn't necessarily involve a huge time commitment.
102
The company will pay for eight hours of your time.
103
That can be used over one or two days all at once or spread over several months throughout the year.
104
There are some staff who enjoy volunteering
105
so much they also give up their own free time for a couple of hours every week.
106
It's completely up to you.
107
Obviously, many people will have family commitments and aren't as available as other members of staff.
108
Feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive.
109
Because they felt they were doing something really useful,
110
nearly everyone agreed that volunteering made them feel more motivated at work.
111
They also liked building relationships with the people in the local community.
112
and felt valued by them.
113
One or two people also said it was a good thing to have on their CVs.
114
One particularly successful project last year was the Get Working project.
115
This was aimed at helping unemployed people in the area get back to work.
116
Our staff were able to help them improve their telephone skills,
117
such as writing down messages and speaking with confidence to potential customers,
118
which they had found quite difficult.
119
This is something many employers look for in job applicants,
120
and something we all do without even thinking about every day at work.
121
We've got an exciting new project starting this year.
122
Up until now, we've mainly focused on projects to do with education and training,
123
and we'll continue with our reading project in schools and our work with local charities.
124
But we've also agreed to help out on a conservation project in Redfern Park.
125
So if any of you fancy being outside and getting your hands dirty,
126
this is the project for you.
127
I also wanted to mention the annual Digital Inclusion Day,
128
which is coming up next month.
129
The aim of this is to help older people keep up with technology.
130
and this year, instead of hosting the event in our own training facility,
131
we're using the ICT suite at Hill College,
132
as it can hold far more people.
133
We've invited over 60 people from the Silver Age Community Center to take part,
134
so we'll need a lot of volunteers to help with this event.
135
If you're interested in taking part,
136
please go to the volunteering section of our website and complete the relevant form.
137
We won't be providing any training for this,
138
but you'll be paired with an experienced volunteer if you've never done it before.
139
By the way, don't forget to tell your manager about any volunteering activities you decide to do.
140
The participants on the Digital Inclusion Day really benefited.
141
The majority were in their 70s,
142
though some were younger, and a few were even in their 90s their 90s.
143
Quite a few owned both a computer and a mobile phone,
144
but these tended to be outdated models.
145
They generally knew how to do simple things,
146
like send texts, but weren't aware of recent developments in mobile phone technology.
147
A few were keen to learn,
148
but most were quite dismissive at first.
149
They couldn't see the point of updating their skills.
150
But that soon changed.
151
The feedback was very positive.
152
The really encouraging thing was
153
that participants all said they felt much more confident about using social media to keep in touch with their grandchildren,
154
who prefer this form of communication to phoning or sending emails.
155
A lot of them also said playing online games would help them make new friends and keep their brains active.
156
They weren't that impressed with being able to order their groceries online,
157
as they liked going out to the shops,
158
but some said it would come in handy if they were ill or the weather was really bad.
159
One thing they asked about was using tablets for things like reading newspapers.
160
Some people had been given tablets as presents,
161
but had never used them,
162
so that's something we'll make sure we include this time.
163
Section 3 Come in, Russ.
164
Thank you.
165
Now, you wanted to consult me about your class presentation on nanotechnology.
166
You're due to give it next week, aren't you?
167
That's right, and I'm really struggling.
168
I chose the topic because I didn't know much about it and wanted to learn more,
169
but now I've read so much about it,
170
in a way there's too much to say.
171
I could talk for much longer than the 20 minutes I've been allocated.
172
Should I assume the other students don't know much and give them a kind of general introduction,
173
or should I try and make them share my fascination with a particular aspect?
174
You could do either, but you'll need to have it clear in your own mind.
175
Then I think I'll give an overview.
176
Okay, now one way of approaching this is to work through developments in chronological order.
177
On the other hand, you could talk about the numerous ways that nanotechnology is being applied.
178
You mean things like thin films on camera displays to make them water repellent
179
and additives to make motorcycle helmets stronger and lighter?
180
Exactly.
181
Or another way would be to focus on its impact in one particular area,
182
say medicine or space exploration.
183
That would make it easier to focus.
184
Perhaps I should do that.
185
I think that would be a good idea.
186
Right.
187
How important is it to include slides in the presentation?
188
They aren't essential by any means.
189
And there's a danger of tailoring what you say to fit whatever slides you can find.
190
While it can be good to include slides,
191
you could end up spending too long looking for suitable ones.
192
You might find it better to leave them out.
193
I see.
194
Another thing I was wondering about was how to start.
195
I know presentations often begin with,
196
first I'm going to talk about this,
197
and then I'll talk about that.
198
But I thought about asking the audience what they know about nanotechnology.
199
That would be fine if you had an hour or two for the presentation,
200
but you might find that you can't do anything with the answers you get,
201
and it simply eats into the short time that's available.
202
So maybe I should mention a particular way that nanotechnology is used to focus people's attention.
203
That sounds sensible.
204
What do you think I should do next?
205
I really have to plan the presentation today and tomorrow.
206
Well, initially, I think you should ignore all the notes you've made,
207
take a small piece of paper and write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation.
208
It can be something as simple as nanotechnology is already improving our lives.
209
Then start planning the content around that.
210
You can always modify that sentence later if you need to.
211
OK.
212
OK, now let's think about actually giving the presentation.
213
You've only given one before,
214
if I remember correctly, about an experiment you'd been involved in.
215
That's right.
216
It was pretty rubbish.
217
Let's say it was better in some respects than in others.
218
With regard to the structure,
219
I felt that you ended rather abruptly without rounding it off.
220
Be careful not to do that in next week's presentation.
221
Okay.
222
And you made very little eye contact with the audience because you were looking down at your notes most of the time.
223
You need to be looking at the audience and only occasionally glancing at your notes.
224
Your body language was a little odd.
225
Every time you showed a slide,
226
you turned your back on the audience so you could look at it.
227
You should have been looking at your laptop.
228
And you kept scratching your head,
229
so I found myself wondering when you were next going to do that,
230
instead of listening to what you were saying.
231
Oh dear.
232
What did you think of the language?
233
I knew that not everyone was familiar with the subject,
234
so I tried to make it as simple as I could.
235
Yes, that came across.
236
You used a few words that are specific to the field,
237
but you always explained what they meant so the audience wouldn't have had any difficulty understanding.
238
Uh-huh.
239
I must say, the handouts you prepared were well thought out.
240
They were a good summary of your presentation,
241
which people would have been able to refer to later on.
242
So well done on that.
243
Thank you.
244
Well, I hope that helps you with next week's presentation.
245
Yes, it will.
246
Thanks a lot.
247
I'll look forward to seeing a big improvement then.
