详细试卷答案解析:

Part 1: Questions 1-10

Questions 1-4

Complete the following information using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each answer.

Surname	1
Given name	Garba
Local address	2
Home address	Lagos, Nigeria
Date of birth	3
Course	4

1 Answer: Buwal

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q1 is “surname”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a name.
The answer for Q1 is quite noticeable as the student directly tells us his surname, which is Buwal.

Note: The only obstacle is candidate’s personal confusion between the student’s first name and surname. Nonetheless, as the given name “Garba” has already been filled, the candidate is expected to pass Q1 with ease.

2 Answer: 16 Bridgeway Road

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q2 should be “local address”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be numbers and names.
The librarian’s question “Could I have your address?” can be seen as a suggestion for the answer’s appearance.
The student’s answer is “16 Bridgeway road”. Since no more than three words and/or numbers are allowed in each question, the candidate may get baffled a little bit.
However, as the conversation moves on, it is implied that Bridge way is written only as one word, “Bridgeway”. Hence, candidates with good listening skills and average concentration can easily solve the trick.

3 Answer: 25th May 1983

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q3 is “date of birth”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a date.
The librarian’s question suggests that the answer will soon appear.
The student’s full answer is 25th of May 1983. As the exercise imposes word limit on the candidate’s answers, the final outcome should be written shortly as “25th May 1983”.

4 Answer: M.Sc. Engineering

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q4 should be “course”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be nouns.
The librarian’s question suggests that the answer will soon appear.
As the student’s answer is M.Sc. Engineering, it is expected that candidate just needs to fill in the answer similar to what he/she hears without understanding what exactly is M.Sc. Engineering.

Questions 5-7

Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS/NUMBERS for each answer.

How many other UK universities have libraries open 24 hours?

What size photocopies are available at the library?

How many entries are there on the library database?

5 Answer: one/1

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q5 is “24 hours”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a number.
From the conversation, we are aware that the library, which the student is visiting, is only the second university in the UK to open 24 hours a day. Therefore, it can be implied that apart from this library, there is another library offering 24 hours service, which makes the total number become 2.
However, as the question only concerns how many UK universities, apart from this library, open 24 hours, the answer for Q5 should only be 1.

6 Answer: A4

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q6 is “size photocopies”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be common paper sizes.
Based on Q6’s wording, it can be inferred that there are multiple size photocopies available at the library.
As the librarian claims that ONLY A4 sized copies are available, we can be confident that A4 is the answer for Q6.

7 Answer: (about) half a million/ 500000

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q7 are “entry” and “database”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a number.
As the librarian suggests the database in computers, we can be sure that the answer for Q7 will soon appear.
The approximate number “about half a million” goes with our keyword “entry”, which matches our expectation. Thus, the answer should be “half a million” or simply “500000”.

Questions 8-10

Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

It is not necessary to be 8 on the lower floor of the library.

What is on the upper floor of the library? 9

It is not always necessary to make an appointment to use the 10 room.

8 Answer: silent

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q8 are “not necessary” and “lower floor of the library”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be an adjective.
From the student’s question, we can imply that the floor he is currently on must be the lower floor of the library, as there are upper floors => The answer must soon appear.
From the conversation, it is inferred that the library’s users do not need to be silent on the lower floor of the library. Thus, the answer for Q8 should be “silent”.
As the conversation moves on, we are told that users are asked to keep noise to a minimum. However, this information does not affect our answer.

Note: “It is not necessary to be” and “Is not required to be/to do sth” are interchangeable in this context.

9 Answer: books and reports

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q9 are “what” and “upper floor of the library”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be nouns.
As the equivalent keyword “upstairs” is heard, we can be sure that the answer must soon appear.
From the conversation, it is inferred that books and reports are kept on the upper floor of the library. Thus, the answer for Q9 should be “books and reports”.

10 Answer: video and DVD

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q10 are “not always necessary”, “appointment”, “use” and “room”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be nouns which indicate a certain type of room.
As the keyword “video and DVD room” is heard, we can see that “video and DVD” matches our expectation. However, further information is needed.
The librarian suggests that USUALLY an appointment needs to be made in advance if the students wish to occupy the video and DVD room. The word “usually” indicates that an appointment is not always necessary to be made in advance. Therefore, the answer for Q10 should be “video and DVD”.

Note: If you are still uncertain of the answer, the following sentence is there to clarify our choice. From this sentence, we learn that if the room is not in use, students do not need to make an appointment in advance. Therefore, it is not always necessary to make an appointment to use the video and DVD room.

Part 1

Part 2: Questions 11-20

Questions 11-13

Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each gap.

Students on courses lasting over a year are usually given until 11 to leave the country.

You should send your application 12 before your permission expires.

Your application must only include 13 documents.

11 Answer: 31st October

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concern in Q11 are “courses lasting over a year”, “until” and “leave the country”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a certain date.
By accurately locating the keywords, the answer “31st of October” is quite easy to notice as the presenter suggests that students with courses lasting over a year will be given permission to be in the UK until 31st of October.

Note: “Courses of 12 months or more” and “Courses lasting over a year” are interchangeable in this context.

12 Answer: 1 month

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q12 are “send application” and “permission expires”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a certain period of time.
The keywords “permission” are frequently used in a couple of sentences => The answer will soon appear.
There is a bit confusion going on between the sentences. In this case, you have to clearly distinguish between two periods of time: 2 months and 1 month. On the one hand, the students are given 2 months to PREPARE for the application. On the other hand, the deadline for the students to MAKE/SEND the application is actually only 1 month. As the question does not concern the preparation period, the answer for Q12 should only be 1 month.

13 Answer: (the) original

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q13 is “document”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer can be either a noun or an adjective.
As the presenter suggests that certain documents should be sent to the Home Office, we can infer that the answer must follow.
The answer for Q13 must be original, as further clarified by the phrase “not photocopies”.

Questions 14-16

Decide which THREE things ALL applicants MUST send when extending their leave to remain.

Write the appropriate letters in boxes 14-16 in any order.

A Your passport.
B Your children’s passports.
C Your Police Registration Certificate.
D A letter from your college or university saying that you are on a full-time course of study, or that you will be beginning one.
E Bank statements covering the past three months.
F A recent passport-sized photograph of yourself.
G Recent passport-sized photos of your children.

14-16 Answer: A,D,F

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

In these questions, you must be aware that Q14, Q15 and Q16 only concern the things that ALL applicants must send when extending their leave to remain. Thus, all personal cases shall be eliminated.
It is implied from the passage that dependents’ documents only apply to students who wish to extend their dependents’ stay with them. Therefore, option B and option G are eliminated.
Student’s passport is directly stated as a necessary document. Therefore, option A is correct.
Option C is incorrect because only those whose passports show that they must register with the police will need to include a Police Registration Certificate in their documents.
Option D is definitely correct as it is almost word-by-word repeated in the passage.
Option E is incorrect since the regulations allow students to send either bank statements or other evidence, as long as they can prove the student’s financial status. Thus, some students may send bank statements, while other students may replace them with other evidence. Consequently, bank statements do not equally apply to all students, which makes option E incorrect.
Option F is definitely correct as it is explicitly claimed through the presenter’s lecture.

Questions 17-20

Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each answer.

Where can you download the FLRS application form? 17

Which postal service should you use when sending your application? 18

Which organization has a 24-hour emergency line? 19

How long do people have to appeal a decision? 20

17 Answer: Home Office website

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q17 are “download” and “FLRS Application Form”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a web address or an actual name of a website.
As the keyword “FLRS” is heard, we can infer that the answer must be somewhere around here.
The presenter claims that students can get the FLRS Application Form either by downloading it from the Home Office website or by asking at their college or university. As Q17 only concerns the place which students can download the form from, the answer must be “Home Office Website”.

18 Answer: recorded delivery

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q18 is “postal service”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be nouns.
From the passage, it is implied that students can only send their application by post. With the keyword “post”, it is certain that the answer must be somewhere around here.
The answer for Q18 must be recorded delivery. The answer can be identified by the preposition “by”, which indicates the postal service that students should use.

19 Answer: Immigration Advisory Service

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q19 are “organization” and “24-hour emergency line”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be an organization’s name.
The answer for this question, Immigration Advisory Service, is quite easy to spot as it is directly stated in the presenter’s lecture.

20 Answer: (a) few days

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q20 are “how long” and “appeal a decision”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a period of time.
The answer for this question, (a) few days, is quite easy to spot since it is directly confirmed through the presenter’s lecture.

Note: The above passages tell us whether the students have a right to appeal the decision or not, which may confuse the candidates a little bit. However, as we only aim for the period of time in which the students can exercise their right, do not waste time considering irrelevant information.

Part 2

Part 3: Questions 21-30

Questions 21-25

Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each gap.

The professor already knows something about Clare from her 21

The professor wants to ask Clare about her experience and 22

Clare studied 23 at University.

Clare felt she would be more 24 if she was further from her family.

Clare chose Infrastructure as one of her 25 optional courses.

21 Answer: application form

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q21 are “professor”, “already know” and “from”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be nouns.
Understanding the professor’s claim, we can infer that he has read Clare’s application form, and now he would like to talk about the form’s content. Therefore, the answer for Q21 must be “application form”.

22 Answer: academic background

定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q22 are “ask”, “experience” and “and”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.
With the keyword “and”, we can infer that the answer must be stated after Clare’s experience is mentioned. Therefore, the answer for Q22 is simply Clare’s “academic background”.

23 Answer: geography

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q23 is “study at university”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun, regarding the name of a particular subject at the university.
In the conversation, the professor asks Clare whether she did study geography at the university. Correspondingly, Clare firmly agrees. Thus, the answer for Q23 is “geography”.

24 Answer: independent

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q24 are “feel”, “further from family”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be an adjective.
Clare mentions that she wants to be as independent as possible from her family as she studies at SNU, which is far from her home. Therefore, we can conclude that Clare felt she should be more independent if she was further from her family. Hence, the answer for Q24 must be “independent”.

25 Answer: third year

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q25 are “Infrastructure” and “Optional courses”.
The professor wants to check the optional courses Clare took in her third year, which she later states that she chose several courses, among which is Infrastructure. Therefore, we can conclude that Clare chose Infrastructure as one of her third year optional courses => The answer must be “third year”.

Note: Clare does mention her compulsory courses in the conversation before talking about optional courses. Therefore, if candidates don’t pay enough attention to the keyword “optional” in the question, or concentrate too much on the name of the compulsory courses, there is a great chance that candidates will miss the necessary information.

Questions 26-30

Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

What did Clare want to concentrate on in her studies? 26

During which time of the year did she work abroad? 27

What didn’t she like in India? 28

What did the workers have to remove to make the roads in Sierra Leone? 29

What Masters’ course does Clare plan to take? 30

26 Answer: human geography

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q26 are “concentrate” and “study”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.
The professor claims that Clare clearly decided to concentrate on “human geography”, which she happily confirms later. Therefore, the answer must be “human geography”.

Note: Focus and Concentrate are interchangeable in this context.

27 Answer: (the) summer

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q27 are “during which time” and “work abroad”.

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q28 are “didn’t like” and “India”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer can be a noun or even a phrase.
As stated in the conversation, Clare does not like the climate. Therefore, the answer for Q28 must be “the climate”.

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q29 are “remove”, “make the road” and “Sierra Leone”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.
Clare tells the professor that in the second project, the workers used some machinery to help them clear paths through vegetation. Therefore, it is implied that the workers have to remove vegetation to make the roads in Sierra Leone. Thus, the answer must be “vegetation”.

30 Answer: Development Studies

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keyword concerned in Q30 is “Masters’ course”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.
In the conversation, the professor tells us that Clare decided to take a Masters’ Degree in Development Studies. Therefore, the answer must be “Development Studies”.

31 Answer: Great Britain

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q31 are “UK” and “Northern Ireland”.
From this question, we can assume that the place that we need to fill in is one of the UK’s parts. In fact, we already learn from the lecture that Northern Ireland and Great Britain are two parts of the UK. With “Northern Ireland” already filled in the table, Great Britain is the remaining answer for Q31.

32 Answer: north and west

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q32 are “England” and “upland”.
From this question, we mainly concern the England’s part which mostly consists of upland. From the lecture, we learn that England is mainly a lowland country with some upland areas in the north and west. Therefore, the answer we are looking for is definitely “north and west”.

33 Answer: lakes

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q33 are “Scotland” and “lochs”.
In this question, we are looking for Scotland’s geography. It is implied from the lecture that Scotland has mountains blocks, glens (valleys) and lochs (lakes). Therefore, the only missing information to be filled in the table is “lakes”.

34 Answer: coastline

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q34 are “Wales”, “mountains” and “lakes”.
Similar to Q33, in Q34, we are looking for Wales’s geography. It is implied from the lecture that Wales has mountains, lakes and coastline. Therefore, the only missing information to be filled in the table is “coastline”.

35 Answer: food processing

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q35 are “Wales” and “industries”.
In Q35, Wales’s industries are concerned. As stated in the lecture, key industries in Wales include electronics, auto components, health care, professional services and food processing. Similar to the above questions, the only missing information to be filled in the table is “food processing”.

Questions 36-40

Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each answer.

What kind of weather do many foreigners think Britain has? 36

Which is the driest month in London? 37

Which part of Britain tends to be drier? 38

Where is snow usual in winter? 39

When is the weather generally most variable? 40

36 Answer: rain and fog

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q36 are “kind of weather”, “foreigners” and “Britain”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun regarding a particular type of weather.
As stated in the lecture, UK’s climate is moderate. However, many foreigners believe that British weather is mainly rain and fog. This hidden meaning is implied through the words “despite” and “not”. Hence, “rain and fog” is the ultimate answer for Q36.

37 Answer: April

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q37 are “driest month” and “London”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a certain month.
Through the lecture, we are confirmed that in London, rainfall varies from 56mm in April to 81mm in December. Comparing the two months, the answer must be “April”.

38 Answer: (the) east

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q38 are “part of Britain” and “drier”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a word regarding a particular area of Britain.
From the lecture, we can imply the the west is wetter than the east. In other words, the east tends to be drier. Therefore, the answer for Q38 must be “east”.

39 Answer: (parts of) Scotland

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q39 are “where”, “snow usual” and “winter”.
From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a place.
The lecturer explicitly states that parts of Scotland usually get snow in winter, therefore, the answer, “parts of Scotland”, is quite straightforward.

40 Answer: early spring

播放听力音频定位解析反馈

The keywords concerned in Q40 are “when”, “weather” and “most variable”.

From this question, we can assume that the answer must be a particular (period of) time.
The lecturer explicitly states that weather in the early spring tends to be especially changeable. In other words, the weather in the early spring is generally most variable. Therefore, the answer for Q40 must be “early spring”.
The last sentence further clarifies the fact that the weather in the early spring is especially variable.

Note: “Changeable” and “Variable” are interchangeable in this context.

SECTION 1

Student: Good morning. I’d like to join the library, please.

Librarian: Of course. Can I just see your student card ?

Student: Here you are.

Librarian: Thank you. Let me just check – your first name is Garba – G A R B A – and your surname is Buwal – B U W A L.

Student: That’s right.

Librarian: Can I just get some additional information from you for our database? It won’t take long.

Student: Sure.

Librarian: Could I have your address, please?

Student: Here? In Newtown?

Librarian: Yes.

Student: 16 Bridgeway road .

Librarian: Is Bridgeway written as one word?

Student: Yes, it is.

Librarian: Thank you. Which city are you from? Just the city, I don’t need the full address.

Student: I’m from Lagos in Nigeria.

Librarian: And your date of birth?

Student: 25th of May 1983.

Librarian: Which course are you on?

Student: M.Sc. Engineering.

Librarian: Thank you. That’s all the personal data I need. Your library card will be ready tomorrow. Would you like to pick it up here or shall I send it to your department ?

Student: I’ll pick it up here. Could I just ask you a few questions?

Librarian: Of course. What would you like to know?

Student: I heard that the library is open 24 hours a day. Is that correct?

Librarian: It will be from the 1st of October , but now we’re only open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. because this week is only for orientation. There are no formal classes at the university.

Student: I see. It’s very unusual to have a library that’s open 24 hours.

Librarian: We are only the second university in the UK to offer this service. It was instantly popular when we introduced it on the 1st of march last academic year.

Student: What facilities are available here? I missed the orientation, I’m afraid.

Librarian: Well, you can see the three photo copiers over there by the large desk. The one nearest us is a colour copier.

Student: How much does it cost to make copies?

Librarian: Five pence for black and white and 10 pence for colour. Only A4 sized copies are available. On the other side of the room, by the windows, you can see the computers. They have a database of all books, newspapers, magazines and reports in the library – about half a million entries in all.

Student: Are they connected to the Internet?

Librarian: No. We found that too many students wanted to use them.

Besides, it’s cheap and easy for students to get an Internet connection in their accommodation .

Student: Those stairs lead to the rest of the library?

Librarian: Yes. On this floor, we have newspapers and magazines.

Users are not required to be silent in this part of the library, but we do ask that noise be kept to a minimum. Upstairs, there are all the books and reports.

Student: What’s that room at the end there?

Librarian: You mean at the opposite end of the room to my desk? That’s the video and DVD room . We have a small selection of videos and DVDs that students can view, but usually an appointment needs to be made in advance. However, this is not necessary if the room is not in use.

Student: Well, thank you very much.

Librarian: My pleasure.

SECTION 2

Presenter: Hello everyone. I’m here to talk to you about extending your leave to remain in the UK. Let me just check that you are all from outside the European Economic Area. If you are from the EEA, this information does not apply to you. OK. Let’s begin.

The very first thing to do is to take note of the date that your entry clearance is valid until, or the date that your "leave to remain" in the UK will run out. This is the date when your current permission to be in the UK will expire. By this date you should either leave the UK or extend your permission to be here. As a part of the initiative to attract more international students to the UK, many international students are now given permission to be in the UK for the full period of study. Students on courses of 12 months or more that end during the summer will usually be given permission to be in the UK until the 31st of October. Students on courses that do not follow the usual autumn to summer pattern will usually be given a period that includes two months at the end of the course, for packing up and making arrangements to leave.

However, some students are not given permission to be here for the whole of their course at the very beginning. If this has happened to you, you will have to apply for an extension of your permission to be here. Start preparing for the application about two months before your permission runs out however. However, you should not normally make the application until one month before your permission runs out. To apply to stay longer in the UK, you must take or send certain documents to the Home Office. The Home Office is the name we give to what people in most other countries call the interior Ministry. They must be the originals and not photocopies.

Which documents do you need to send? Your completed application form – form FLRS. Your passport and passports for each dependent, if they are applying to extend their stay in the UK with you. If your passport shows that you are required to register with the police, you must also send your Police Registration Certificate and certificates for each dependant, if they are applying to extend their stay in the UK with you. You also need to send a letter from your college or university stating that you are still enrolled on a full-time course of study, or that you will be beginning another one. Bank statements covering the past three months, or other evidence that you have enough money to continue to pay your fees and maintain yourself and any dependants. A recent passport-sized size photograph of yourself and similar photos of any of your dependants aged 16 or over, if they are applying to extend their stay in the UK with you.

FLRS stands for Further Leave to Remain Student. To get this form, you can download it from the Home Office website or ask at your college or university . When you are preparing to fill out the form, it is a good idea to read the guidance Notes. You could also ask a student adviser or welfare officer at your institution for help. Now, where should you send your application ? You can only send your application by post. Send your documents to: FLRS, Immigration and Nationality directorate , Sunshine House, 28 Wellington Road, London, W1A 2BY. Send your documents by recorded delivery and keep the receipt, as well as photocopies of everything you send. You can expect to wait at least four weeks and sometimes considerably longer before a decision on the application is made.

I have some good news about the application deadlines. According to new regulations, even if you do not have all these documents available, you must still make sure that you apply before your current permission to be in the UK expires. Enclose as many of the documents as you have and include a letter explaining what is missing, why it is missing and when you will be able to send it to the Home Office. You will then be considered to have made your application in time. If your permission to be in the UK has already expired, contact either a student adviser or welfare officer at your college or university or the Immigration Advisory Service on their 24-hour hour emergency line Oil 7378 9191 or via their website – www.iasuk.org. Please note that if you do make a late application, and the application is refused , you cannot appeal against that decision.

If your application was made in time and if your application is refused, you will receive a letter from the Home Office telling you why. The letter will also tell you whether or not you have the right to appeal against the decision. If you made your original application in good time – before your current leave to ‘remain had expired – then you should automatically be given the right to appeal. If you have the right to appeal , you will only have a few days in which to exercise this right. You should therefore ask for a professional advice about the appeal process as soon as possible from a lawyer, a student adviser or welfare officer at your college or university or the Immigration Advisory Service.

SECTION 3

Professor: Good morning. Your name is Clare Sanders, isn’t it?

Student: That’s right.

Professor: Well, Clare, as we explained in the letter, in this interview I’d like to talk about some of the things that you mentioned in your application form, such as your experience and academic background.

Clare: I see.

Professor: Now, for your undergraduate degree, you studied geography, right?

Clare: That’s correct. At the Scottish National University.

Professor: SNU is a very prestigious university. Apart from that, were there any other reasons that you chose to study there?

Clare: Well, you're correct in suggesting that the main reason I went there was due to the superior quality of the university, but there were two other reasons. The first was that it is reasonably far from my home. I wanted to be as independent as possible from my family whilst I was studying and felt that that was one way of achieving that aim. The other reason was that the university offered an excellent program of summer work in developing countries and that’s something I was very keen on.

Professor: That would be the Livingstone Project?

Clare: That’s right.

Professor: I’d like to return to that in a minute. Let me just check the optional courses you took in your third year.

Clare: The two compulsory courses were Methodology in Geography and Statistical analysis and I chose Infrastructure, Development Issues and Geology in addition to those.

Professor: I see. You clearly decided to focus more on the human geography side of things.

Clare: Yes. I had worked on development projects abroad for two summers as part of the Livingston Project. The first project was in India and the second was in Sierra Leone.

Professor: Could you tell me the main aims of the projects and how you contributed ?

Clare: The Indian project was to ensure that a village had adequate supplies of fresh water and adequate sanitation. On that project, my role was to help lay pipes and put together various pieces of equipment. The project in Sierra Leone involved improving the infrastructure. The aim was to create rudimentary roads between villages so that they could receive aid and so that they could get agricultural products, particularly fruit and vegetables, to the capital and larger towns. My job was to help choose the best route for the roads, minimizing any impact on the environment whilst maximizing efficiency.

Professor: How did you find the experiences?

Clare: The Indian project was helpful in that it was my first experience abroad and I got to see how small development projects can really make a difference. However, I found the climate … well, it was extremely hot and humid and we were doing a lot of physical work, so it was... well, it made you appreciate air conditioning, for a start! The second project … well, I enjoyed that a lot more. There was some physical work, but we had some machinery to help us clear paths through vegetation. I really enjoyed being able to put what I had learned into practice . For example, we had to choose a route on a map first of all, according to the contours of hills and valleys. Then we had to explore the ground and check that it was really a suitable route.

Professor: And now you’ve decided to take a Masters’ Degree in Development Studies as a result. Great. Well, I just have a few more questions regarding …

SECTION 4

Presenter: Welcome to this introductory lecture on the geography of the United Kingdom. The UK, with a total population of over 60 million, consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain comprises England, Scotland and Wales. England is the largest country of the UK, with some 52 million people. It is mainly a lowland country, with some upland areas in the north and west. The capital is London with about seven million people. There are many manufacturing industries and farming is widespread , but the economy is increasingly service-based, and London is one of the world’s leading centres for banking, insurance and other financial services . High-tech industries have replaced many of the more traditional ones. In Scotland, 5 million people live in an area not much smaller than England. The country boasts vast open spaces and is one of the last areas of unspoiled natural beauty in Europe, featuring mountains blocks , lochs – that is ‘lakes’ – and glens – that is ‘valleys’. Modern industries including oil, electronics and biotechnology, as well as more traditional industries such as fishing and forestry , drive the economy. The largest city is Glasgow, but the capital is Edinburgh. Wales is home to 3 million people, and its geography is characterised by coastline , mountains and lakes. Cardiff is the capital and largest city. Key industries include electronics, auto components, food processing, health care, and professional services. More Japanese companies have set up shop in Wales than anywhere else in Europe. About 1.6 million people live in Northern Ireland, the capital of which is Belfast, the largest city. Residents enjoy beautiful countryside. Many new hotels are springing up to cater for increasing numbers of tourists and business travelers .

The climate in the UK is moderate: summers are fairly cool and winters are quite mild. And despite what many foreigners believe, British weather is not rain and fog – it is actually more comfortable, more varied and more interesting than that. What you can look forward to in the way of rain, sun, temperature and even daylight depends on where you will be living. Here are some typical figures for London. January is the coldest month at 3°C whilst July is the hottest at 17°C. Rainfall varies from 56mm in April to 81mm in December. Although the UK is quite small geographically, the climate varies from one area to another. In general, the west is wetter and milder than the east, and northern areas are noticeably cooler than southern ones. For example, compare the following temperatures with the London figures: Edinburgh 14°C in July and Manchester 15°C in the same month. Edinburgh: 4°C in January and Manchester: 5°C in the same month. Parts of Scotland usually get snow in winter, whereas you might live in London for several years without seeing a significant snowfall.
International students who are used to tropical or equatorial climates are often intrigued by the sheer variety of the weather in the UK. Weather in the early spring tends to be especially changeable . You could be treated to rain, snow, thunder and lightning, hail, and glorious spring sunshine – all in the course of a single day.
