SECTION 2

Hi, everybody, good to see you again. This morning I’ll tell you about the Elizabeth House in Canterbury, once home of the famous carpenter, Jonathan Owen. He bought the house in 1965 although he had first seen it five /ears earlier. Actually, he was interested in the house as a traditional flat in England, and he paid £5,000 for It without a second thought because of it having standard and regulation building methods during the Middle Ages in the UK.

At that time, he had worked at the University of Canterbury as a head carpenter who managed with a small building company. His professional success was abundant, but his family life wasn’t so successful. His parents had suffered from diabetes and mental disease and his brother, Dan, was ill with pneumonia.

Moving to Elizabeth House, he started his new life. Jonathan considered the home a pure example of a traditional East England country house and did some of his successful building structure work here. The back yard and garden of the house became calm and peaceful. The materials used to make the wall, chimney and roof were collected from the local area. Most of all, oak trees were in the front of the main gate.

As you go up the path, there’s the rose garden on your right and you will find, to your left, an area which has interesting types of sunflower as well as some lovely carnation. It is known as the Sun-Rainbow and was designed by his brother, Dan, who had studied gardening art in Paris.

The next destination is the Japanese foot bridge with exotic Asian mountain plants and fruits growing on it. Follow the path round to the second corner and on your left you will see the entrance to the pear tree with its 200-year-old branches, go through the path until you reach the front of the house. Now, I’ll give you a couple of hours to wander around this lovely building. Your tour guide will introduce and explain about its history and viewpoints to you.

If you need to buy any of Jonathan’s handbooks or other souvenirs, you can enter the house, where you will find the shop, which is located between the path and the watermill. I expect by this time you may also be in need of a rest and some refreshments from the snack bar.

If you have a break, there is a lovely walk down towards the River Cotton. This is the best view for visitors. You can cross the field which spreads along the path close to the windmill. In autumn, this area will open a small event or festival which is definitely worth a visit. It is familiar a good place for growing strawberries. Every season most of the residents are ready to make local produce. Also, the local council helps to improve the grape festival by promoting and marketing it through online and offline methods. Last year around 100 tons of grapes were harvested and sold at the city mall.

We’ll now have a good chance to see an orchard behind the house.

SECTION 3

DAVID: Ann, we really need to get working on this gallery marketing assignment. We’ve only got two weeks left until the end of the month to set up.

ANN: Right, so... how about getting started now? We need to work through the instructions.

DAVID: Well, we must search for one area from tourism industries, like the museum or gallery. There are lots of sites online.

ANN: What are they about?

DAVID: The National science museum, the History museum, the War museum, the Tate Modern Art Gallery, and so on.

ANN: You got more?

DAVID: We’ve got plenty.

ANN: I’ve got an idea to find out the best comment. Coming this Friday, we’ll get more information at the London Museum because it shows all the visitors guidebooks of museums or galleries in the UK. It also runs a small workshop about non-profit tourism industries’ marketing.

DAVID: Great.

ANN: So, after visiting there, we have to use research methods, such as telephone interviews, questionnaires on the street or sending out emails.

DAVID: Actually, we don’t have a choice. We have to send the email.

ANN: Right, we don’t have to waste time deciding among them. By the way, how do we get the responses?

DAVID: Umm. Let’s contact the London Museum’s Information centre. Actually, it may be helpful to US to collect data through our head course leader.

ANN: How many people do we have to interview?

DAVID: Well, we have to split into three groups... and It looks like we have to interview thirty people for each group.

ANN: So, ninety altogether then. It depends on the ages too, right?

DAVID: That’s right.

ANN: So... are they all the requirements?

DAVID: Yes, looks like it.

ANN: Umm... firstly, which part are we going to choose? My preference would be a modern art gallery, since that’s where I spend most of the time.

DAVID: I think you’ve got something wrong. I don’t think there are abundant differences In the exhibitions there. I mean you get young and old, man and woman, amateur and professional all going to the galleries.

ANN: Right, so, let’s make it a ceramic exhibition then.

DAVID: So, basically, what two groups will we compare and contrast for that?

ANN: Male and female?

DAVID: Absolutely, also, most of my respondents like the same ceramics as me. Also, I think different age groups could be changed to highlight differences.

ANN: I think you’re right. I’ll take some comment. The age groups are teenagers, twenties, thirties, forties and over. What do you think about this?

DAVID: Great. That will give US more detail.

ANN: So, how about the kind of ceramic they like - let’s give them some options and then we can just tick boxes.

DAVID: OK. Let’s have Aslan, European, African... What else... something special?

ANN: Well, we should Include the Incas in Peru. Some people like this style, you know.

DAVID: OK. And then we should know about their understanding of ceramics.

ANN: They can learn about that thanks to a gallery curator who can inform them about the patterns and markings through picture and local clay.

DAVID: I’m curious about how they were made. I mean a process with painting and things embedded on the surface. At that time, the equipment and materials were not good... compared with the present day.

ANN: I agree, we should also include an earthen vessel, of course.

DAVID: Right, the next step could be about where they were actually from.

ANN: They were made from local clay, weren’t they? Things such as mountain, lake, basement, and so forth.

DAVID: I think so. One more thing Is the colour on the bottle. How did the ancients get the tone?

ANN: On the Internet, it said they got it through dried plants. They were working again to make a tone... drying and sorting.

DAVID: OK. I see.

ANN: To get more hard tone, they included other strong herbs or something.

DAVID: At that time, the colours were used by the rich with property.

ANN: Great, you’ve got plenty of data, David.

DAVID: No... no... it’s just beginning. We have to look for something special with more details and history for the presentation next week.

SECTION 4

Hi, everyone! This morning I’m going to talk to you about flea markets in England.

At first, we were surprised to learn that only 15% of people here in England make an effort to collect waste. That is lower than other European countries. Also, it might be falling within a couple of year time unless the government make a severe regulations for industries and local residences.

The UK government’s target means that by 2012 we must decrease our waste emissions by 45%, compared with 2000. Local councils can offer support to meet that target by taking part in the national green campaign and investing in local flea markets. Most of all, these markets reduce waste emissions from landfill sites.

A flea market or “swap meet” is a type of bazaar where very cheap or second-hand goods are sold or bartered for. It may be indoors, like in a warehouse or school gymnasium; or it may be outdoors, like in a field or under a tent. The flea market vendors display the goods used on the table for selling, such as a few unwanted household items to operate commerce including a variety of used living products. Many flea markets in European countries have food vendors who sell snacks and drinks to the visitors, and may be part of a small event such as carnivals or concerts.

As part of our research, our team carried out a questionnaire with people in the local area. The results said we need to open more second-hand shops. However, one problem is that there is a lack of information and marketing. To solve the problems, local councils should invest and support in flea markets, by doing things like creating parking space, organising security, public promotions using the Internet and other resources.

We were also surprised to discover how waste, such as furniture, computers, kitchen tools, and other such things are reused, And wooden furniture or electronic products are easy to recycle because they can be reused over and over again without becoming weaker. Around three million electronic goods are thrown away per year. Also, around 500,000 pieces of furniture are also disposed of. one-fifth is collected and fortunately recycled through many local flea markets. In 2009 there were around 3,000 flea markets in England. The number is increasing... steadily... so far.

Surprisingly, by collecting under 15% of old books, lots of paper is imported, so more paper can be recycled in the UK. Europe recycles 50% of Its paper and Germany recycles 80% of its paper. When recycling launched, there were quality problems, so it was so hard to reuse paper in office sheets. However, these problems have now been solved, and Union of the flea markets based in East London produces high-quality recycled paper. Another union, “LOVING PAPER,” currently sells the paper that has been through a sorting process to farmers or gardeners as fertilizer.

So, to sum up, there seems to be a number of activities that enable people to reuse waste but the substantial problem is encouraging people to think twice about taking their waste to a flea market instead of throwing it away. I think the recycling programme will make us save materials and protect the environment in future. And next, I’ll show the plan for promoting it.
