1. Conference start date
When exactly is the conference?
A: Well, the conference runs for four days from the 15th to the 18th of September.The keywords in Q1 are “conference” and “start date” and we should find out when the conference starts.
Firstly of all, we should notice that Helstone is asking about the Computing technology conference. So, when we hear the name of the conference in her question “I was wondering if you could give me some information about the forthcoming Computing Technology 25th conference? Dates,..”, we can assume that the answer will soon appear. Then the assistant said the conference starts from the 15th to 18th of September Since Q1 asks us only the start date, we choose 15th of September as the correct answer.

2. Conference location
H: where exactly is it being held? Is it at the university as in previous years?
A: No, it’s actually being held at the Pacific Hotel – we’ve rather outgrown the university conference facilities so we’ve opted for this new venue.
H: Right, Paradise Hotel.
A: No. Pacific Hotel.The keyword in Q2 is “conference location” and we should find out where the conference is hold.
When we hear Helstone asked “where exactly is it being held?”, we know that the answer will soon appear.
Right after that, she asks if the conference is hold at the university. We may choose the wrong answer if we’re rushed to write down the answer “the university”without listening to the assistant’s answer. She said “No”, so it’s clear that the conference is at another place. We should keep listening carefully to find the answer.
The assistant told Helstone that this year it is organized at Pacific Hotel. Here comes other trick as Helstone confirmed “Right, Paradise Hotel”. If we couldn’t hear “Pacific Hotel” clearly in the previous sentence, we may be confused and choose the wrong answer “Paradise Hotel”.
Fortunately, the assistant then repeated oue answer one more time “No. Pacific Hotel”. So, the correct answer should be Pacific Hotel.

H: 079 444 12 33 . And what’s the registration fee?The keywords in Q3 are “reservation” and “phone number” and we must find out what the phone number for hotel reservation is.
So, when we hear Helstone mentioned to our keyword in her question “And presumably we can get accommodation at the hotel?”, we assume that the answer may soon appear.
Then, the assistant said that she would give Helstone the number for reservations, which suggests us that the answer will come out in the next sentence, we should pay more attention. We may be confused as the assistant didn’t say the entire phone number, she separated the area code and a line of numbers after it. Fortunately, after that, Helston confirmed the information and we can be sure that the correct answer is “0794441233”.

When Helstone asked “What’s the registration fee”, we assume that the answer may soon appear. Then the assistant mentioned to many fees ($360 for 4 days, $100 a day), but they are individual fees, not student fee, so none of them is the correct answer.
After that, we hear our keyword “student” in “Are there any student concessions?, which suggests us that the answer will appear in the next sentence. With the assistant’s answer that students are given a 50% concession and that means they will pay only $180 for the four days or $50 a day, we can be sure that the answer is $50 a day .

Also send …
D: And also, can you send me a short CV – the usual stuff, name, age, qualifications. That sort of thing.
H: Right. Include a brief CV .From the question, we can assume that the answer is a noun.
We should focus on the word “also” in Q9 as it suggests us that the answer is something the student has to send along with the outline.
On the other hand, we notice that the part above Q9 is “maximum length”. The answer we are looking for will follow the part of “maximum length” in the conversation. Thus, when we hear the professor told the student to keep her outline down to 300 words, we know that the answer will appear after this part.
Then, we hear the professor said “And also, can you send me a short CV”, by which he means that the student should send him both the outline and a short CV. So, the correct answer is a short CV.

H: Right.
D: So that’s admin@annuconf.edu.au.The keyword in Q10 is “email address” and we have to complete the email address in Q10.
When we hear the professor said “you can email it to me”, which contains the keyword “email”, we know that the answer will appear soon.
Then he said “The address is admin – in lower case”. This sentence also contains the keyword “address” and the answer follows right after the keyword. However, we may not be sure that it is the correct answer as he did not provide the complete email address, he only said “admin”. Luckily, the student confirmed the information by saying the complete email address so we know that the answer is admin.

While some sports are typically played in teams, others are usually done by individuals. There are, of course, benefits to both team sports and individual ones, and this essay will explore both, before coming to the conclusion that team sports are slightly more beneficial.
When most people think of sports, they probably first imagine some kind of team sport, like football, basketball, or rugby. These are by far the most popular and so we often watch them on TV or play them with our friends. But they are not merely fun to play and to watch; in fact, they also help us to develop important life skills. Especially for children, playing team sports is an invaluable way to develop interpersonal skills. Working together with teammates helps them to relate to others better, as they will be able to communicate well and delegate responsibilities. These are skills that will serve them well in their professional and private lives as teenagers and then adults.
While players of individual sports will not gain these benefits, they will nonetheless get some important perks from their chosen sport. In sports like golf and long-distance running, people learn valuable lessons. They will learn determination and self-reliance, as well as improving their ability to concentrate over long, often lonely, periods of time. Although the ability to work as a team is considered one of the most valuable talents in business these days, independence and self-motivation will always be useful life-skills to possess.
In conclusion, all sports offer different benefits; however, sports that are played in teams are probably more useful than those done by individuals because the benefits which they provide us are slightly more valued in the wider world.
The diagram shows how to make dough for a pizza and there are seven procedures to follow. On the first hand all the ingridients has being mixed for a certain amount of time and in different methods. After the mixing processes had finished dough has being kept to maximize larger in size and finally cut to equal peices.
The ingredients used for making the dough are 500 grams of flour, 325 grams of water, 2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of dry active yeast. The first phases of the dogh making pracess evalutaed in 7 sections. 1st phase: put all the ingredients in a stand mixer. 2nd phase: Mix all the ingridients in the stand mixer in slow speed for 2 minutes. 3rd phase: Mix the dough on midium speed to for 5 minutes. 4th phase: In this stage mix the dough again for 2 minutes in slow speed.
The 5th phase is the most compulsory stage in making dough which is to let the dough rise minimum of 2 hours. 6th phase: kneading the dough to remove all air bubbles. The final phase is to cut the dough in 3 equal pieces, each pieces should be weigh around 275 grams.
The task one illustrates the process of how to knee perfect dough to bake a sizzling Italian pizza. This whole process consists on the seven steps. Firstly all the ingredients; floor, water, salt and dry yeast are putted in a mixer, by following the exact measurements. After running the mixer on a low speed for almost two minutes, its speed accelerated to medium for more five minutes. As the quality of pizza dough depends upon the how perfectly it has been mixed or kneed, so it required running the mixer on a slow mode for another two minutes. After mixing it for overall 9-10 minutes, it is putted on rest for minimum two hours. If after this period of time, the dough is doubled in size, it means this dough is ready for the next step. Later the dough is kneed with hands to remove all air bubbles. It is stretched on the board so that it can be cut into three equal pieces.
The given diagram illustrate the steps to make a pizza dough.
overall, it is clear from the diagram that the prossess consists of seven stages, begining with puting the dough ingredients in the mixer, and ending up with cuting the dough into three equal pieces.
according to what is shown, the first step to make a pizza dough is to put a 4 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups of water, 2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp dry active yeast into a stand mixer. secoundly, mix it for two minutes on slow speed, then mix it in medium speed for five minutes. After that return into low speed for a minimum of two minutes.
After that let the dough to rise in minimum for 2 hours, meanwhile it should be double in size. Then work the dough to remove all the air bubbles, finally cut it into 3 equal pieces, or 275 grams each.
Task 1
The picture here guides us to prepare a perfect dough for a pizza. The process is very simple and explained in the picture with 7 easy steps. Firstly, the top for pictorial representation helps us understand the ingredients. It says (picture) we need to take 4 cups weighing 500 grams of all-purpose flour in a stand mixer bowl. We have to pour one and half cups of water to it along with 2 tablespoons of salt and half tablespoon of dry active yeast to the stand mixer. Make sure to water content should be 325 grams as per the represented in picture.
Now, we have successfully prepared the mix of ingredients in the stand mixer bowl which was our 1st step. Next for step 2 and 3, we start the mixer and run it for 2 minutes on a slow speed and then we accelerate the speed up to medium for 5 minutes. After completing this, for step 4, we simply lower the speed back to the slow for the last 2 minutes to have the dough ready to rest. The picture represents for the step 5, we have to take out the dough from the stand mixer and keep it aside for 2 hours to rest and allow it to rise to the size of its double.
Now step 6 is a crucial step for our perfect dough, we have to work with the dough with hands to remove all the air bubbles which a there due to the raise in the dough. Once done with beating the dough, cut it into 3 equal pieces for 275 grams each for the pizza.
Task 2
The statement here, in my opinion, is not agreeable as sports is its own benefits whether played alone or in a team both. This statement may question the persons talent, there should not be a any difference or judgements passed on sports persons talent.
The current number and type of sports played have increased by a huge number. These sports include both individually played games and team games as well. I will like to speak upon team games first, people are huge fan of team games and respect the play and their players together. In a team game all the efforts of the team players must be acknowledged as it is played. A team game can be represented as a symbol of unity and if a team doesn't play with each other unitedly then there are high number of chances of losing the game. A team sports teaches humans to stay together, respect and stay as a one team, with these virtues they all play for the team and for their nations. Players of the team are accounted with their own talent but with the team. Speaking of individual games, these players are also praised and loved by the people across the nation because of their talent, but these players also represent their nation which has to be understood by the people.
The only reason such a statement is passed over sports faternity is because they all are human at a individual level and humans make mistake. In a team, there are chances one player might have a problem with another player and such an issue might affect they unity as a team and spoil the game. There are chances a player may be blamed for the failure of not getting along with the team or have fear of not being recognized. Such fear of blame or being known, may question the sportsmanship of a sports person, and compel people to choose a individual sport. But the things which has to be understood by the people is that sports person should be defined by their talents. It's not always the inter-human relationship issue, people in individual games are there because of their true talent not because they choose to play alone in order to be away from such inter-personal issue.
All in all, sports are a place where people can present their countries proudly being in a team or an individual. Sportsmanship is always in playing for the nation and then for themselves.

First of all, is important to collect all the ingredients to follow the instructions, and then place them into a stand mixer. Four cups of 500 grams of flour should be filled with one cup and a half of water, two teaspoons of salt, and half a teaspoon of dry active yeast. Once this process is done and all the ingredients were combined in a blender, it should be there mixing approximately for two minutes in low mode. Then mix again for five more minutes at a medium speed, Since is done, stir again for two minutes in low mode.
When blender time is over, is time to take it away from the blender and leave the dough at least for two hours rising, after this time it should look double the size as it was. Secondly, when the dough is done, the next step is to work the dough with hands to take away all the air accumulated and converted into bubbles. Once is kneaded and got a smooth dough with no air anymore, The dough must be cut and divided into three pieces equally or separated into 275 grams each.

Sport is the beneficial part of our life to remain healthy and fit. Now a days people play many kinds of sport like horse riding, soccer and cricket which makes human body active. Many people think that is it good to play games which are played in groups. However, some please believes that the single game to play. In my opinion, playing single game is better as one-man effort is counted.
First of all, the single game is good for both heath and the player as if there will be any mistake made by the man can count his own loss. A person only has to put all of the effort on his body in order to win the game. Furthermore, swimming is that sport in which all of the man body part moves and his success is on his health. For example, in the previous common wealth game Canadian man heath was good his body movement is that good that he become first.
On the other hand, in group games each of the participant has his own role to handle the game and to compete his opponent like in football. In addition to this, one wrong move of the member of the team can get his team out of the game. For example, the bad move of goal keeper and all the defenders result in the loss of the Brazil team in Fifa world cup.
To conclude with that the single sport is better as compere to the team as in team game on wrong move of a person can make the whole team lose the game.
The above diagram depict what steps are require for making dough for pizza. Some essential items which are require i.e. water, flour, salt and yeast.
In first, take 4 cups 500 gram of flour, 1 ½ cups (325 gram) of water, 2 table spoon of salt and 1/2 table spoon of yeast into the bowl of stand mixer and mix it for 2 minutes in slow speed. Then after 2 minutes speed the machine up to medium for 4 minutes and after passing 4 minutes speed back to the slow for 2 minutes. After mixing, leave it for minimum 4 hours to dry so that it gains the double size. Start pressing the dough with your hand so that the bubble in it should eliminate and then cut it into 3 pieces.
In conclusion, these are the easy step for making dough so that you can easily cook pizza.
While some sports are typically played in teams, others are usually done by individuals. There are, of course, benefits to both team sports and individual ones, and this essay will explore both, before coming to the conclusion that team sports are slightly more beneficial.
