TAPESCRIPTBernard Of course, one of the approaches to

crime thats getting a lot of publicity atthe moment is zero tolerance. Briefly, Isuppose, it means that you follow upevery crime, no matter how small. Youchase the youth who sprays graffiti on awall as hard as the bank robber thetheory being, I suppose, that if you stophim doing graffiti, he wont grow up torob banks. What do you think, Stella?

Stella Wel l , i t does seem to have been aremarkable success in New York. Thecrime rate has dropped steadily. Yes, Ith ink i t works and I th ink we shoulddefinitely try it here in Britain.

Bernard How do you feel about it, Matthew?Matthew Now, let me get this r ight this zero

tolerance is whats led to kids beingbanned from some American schoolsbecause they played at soldiers in theplayground. No, I dont think Id like tosee that happen here.

Stella Wel l , you have to separate the twothings. Every t ime a new idea comesalong, some people take things too far.That doesnt mean i t s a bad idea. Imean, look at l i t ter. Weve had lawsagainst dropping l i t ter for over for tyyears, but have you ever heard ofanybody being charged with droppinglitter? And meanwhile our streets areprobably the dirtiest in Europe.

Bernard Yes, but to be fair, Stella, theres no proofthat reducing the number of peopledropping litter is going to have any effect

on, say, crimes of violence.Stella No proof except the New York cr ime

figures, you mean? Crimes of violencehave dropped steadily there since thispolicy came in. In fact, Im told that NewYork is safer than London these days.

Matthew I cant believe that. I mean, look at thenumber of shootings in the United States.We dont have anything like that level inBritain.

Stella Not yet, but the figure is going up everyyear.

Matthew Well, thats because our cour ts havegone soft. What do you get for murdertoday? Fifteen years maybe, with a goodchance of being out in ten on parole.Thats hardly a deterrent.

Bernard Yes, but many states in America still havethe death penalty for murder and thatdoesnt seem to make much difference.

Matthew Well, you cant tell, but what I do know isthat when we had hanging this countrywas a much safer place. Look, Im notsaying that we should bring back thedeath penalty its too late for that. But alife sentence should mean life, l ike itused to.

Bernard But prison officers would tell you that itsonly the thought of getting out earlier thatkeeps some prisoners under control.

Stella And we have to allow for the possibilitythat they might change their ways.

Matthew You mean we let them out if they promiseto s top murder ing people? That snonsense. The fact is that most murdersin this country are still domestic mostvictims know the murderer. Generally,were not talking about a bad habit thatthey need to give up. What we have to dois stop them doing it in the first place.

Bernard Well, I think were going to have to leaveit there for this week. Join me, if you can,at the same time next week when thetopic will be

Listening Paper 4, Part 2 page 33

TAPESCRIPTGood evening, and Id like to thank you for inviting

me here tonight. Its nice to see so many young peoplein the audience, particularly since the subject oftonights talk is the English of young people today.Now, I think you can say that, probably since humanlanguage began, a number of things have been true:language has always changed, i t is the younggeneration which has made the changes and theirparents have complained about it. However, what wemight say today is that due to the global nature ofcommunication, changes may be happening fasterthan before.

Lets get down to some specifics. Reported speech its a fact that very few young people use the wordsaid any more, par t icular ly when repor t ing aconversation. Instead of this, they use like, and atypical exchange might be, Im like, Do you want togo out tonight? and hes like, Not really. Theres somefootball on the telly, and Im like, Thats all you everthink about. We havent got to the point yet where

newspapers print, The Prime Ministers like, This is aserious matter, but, who knows? One day like maybecome part of written English as well.

Another interest ing feature is the use of theexpression, innit. Now, as a version of isnt it? thishas been around for a number of years, particularly inworking-class London speech. However, with the verbbe, it is now coming to be used in the first and secondperson as well. You might hear, for example, Im not incharge here, innit? or, Youre pleased about it, innit?Its also used with other verbs He lives around here,innit? - and even with other tenses She was awaylast week, innit? It still tends to be a working-classform and its particularly associated with ethnic minorityspeech. In fact, you find it a lot in rap. And I think,What a great idea! I mean, one of the difficult thingsfor learners of English, as Im sure a lot of you know, isthose silly question tags dont you?, isnt he?,doesnt she?, have we? and my personal favourite,arent I?, which, when you think about it, isnt evenlogical. Now, not all languages use these. For example,Turkish has one word, mi /m?/, which does the jobperfectly adequately. Wouldnt it be nice if all questiontags in English could be expressed with one word innit? Well, Id certainly wecome it.

Another feature gaining ground quite rapidly inteenage speech is what we call AQI AustralianQuestioning Intonation. This seems to have started inAustralia in the 1980s. It simply means that you use arising intonation on statements the type you wouldnormally use on questions, so you might hear thingslike, I work in the shoe factory, Shes going to thesupermarket, Thatll be five pounds, please. Theres atheory that this developed at a time when a lot ofpeople who didnt have English as a first languagewere moving to Australia, and that it was a way thelocals used to check understanding. Nobodys reallysure, but it has since spread to Canada, to parts of theUnited States, and to Britian, where you can hear itnow in the speech of younger people in London andthe south east.Now, lets look at some typical expressions in thespeech of younger people ...

TAPESCRIPT1 Man 1: Well, I couldnt believe it when the first

half ended without any scoring.Man 2: Yes, I thought wed be about three goals

down at that point.Man 1: At least. At half-time I had this crazy idea

that we might even win.Man 2: Yes. But we got back to normal in the

second half.Man 1: True two goals down. But it was no

disgrace. Im surprised how well theyplayed.

2 The thing that set Gibson-Brown apart from hiscontemporaries was his fascination with texture.They were primarily interested in colour, and heshares some of this, but he worked in oils while theywere generally interested in watercolours. And youcan see from this canvas that the work has largelybeen done with a knife rather than a brush.

3 So then you hear a voice saying, If you wish to dothis press button 1; if you wish to do this pressbutton 2, and finally it says If you wish to speakto one of our customer advisers press button 5, or6 or whatever. I always just wait and press thatbutton, even if its a simple thing, just to make thepoint that I want to talk to a human being.

4 Andrew: Hi Maria. Did you get to the party onFriday night.

Maria: Andrew - hi. No, I had a really bad cold.How was it?

Andrew: Oh, I didnt go either too busy. But Luisatold me that Susan was there with a newboyfriend. His names Freddie, apparently. Ithink she wanted you to meet him.

Maria: Really? I wonder what hes like.Andrew: Well, Luisa said she thought he was a bit

old for her. 5 Wed more or less given up looking for this year but

Elaine spotted this place and went to see it. She likedit so we both went round the next day. It had been onthe market for a couple of weeks and there were oneor two people interested so we made the best offerwe could manage and they accepted it.

6 It was just for a few weeks at the end of the summer,after I came back from my holiday. I was mainly inthe kitchen washing dishes but because it was asmall place they didnt have a full-time porter sothey sent me out sometimes to carry bags forguests. Id slip on a coat over my kitchen gear andgo and take their suitcases up to their rooms.

7 Im standing here in the High Street. This isnt thebusiest street these days because most of theshops are now round the corner in Market Street,but it is the medieval centre of the town. You cansee a number of the older buildings still survive.And its also here that youll find Costas caf andice cream shop reputed to make the best icecream in the area. And thats what were going tolook at today how a t radi t ion has not onlysurvived but flourished.

8 Man: Its such a lovely part of the country, andyou can sit in the garden and look outover the water.

Woman: Can you swim there?Man: Well, its a bit cold most of the time, but

its nice to swim in fresh water. You dontget the taste of salt in your mouth.

Woman: Is there much to do at night?Man: Not a lot. Were so high up there are

hardly any other houses, but theres avillage about five miles away with a puband a small restaurant.

Discoveries and Inventions

Listening Paper 4, Part 2 page 74

TAPESCRIPTInterviewer: Now, Nathan, youre 17 years old.Nathan: Yes.Interviewer: And youre already responsible for a number

of inventions. One of them is actually incommercial production, I believe.

Nathan: Yes, the Find-me Torch. Theres also ameasuring device for giving medicine toyoung children. I ve got a companyinterested in that one but were waiting formedical approval

Interviewer: Right well, tell me about the Find-meTorch.

Nathan: Well, a lot of inventions are just a question ofputting a couple of existing ideas together.Key-rings which will give out a beepingsound when you whistle have been on themarket for a few years. It just struck me thatoften when people are looking for a torch,its in the dark, because the lights have goneout. Also, parents with young children havetold me that the torch never stays in thesame place because the kids play with it. SoI just put the two ideas together. When thelights go out, all you have to do is whistleand the torch beeps and starts flashing. Ipersuaded a small company to make themand theyre selling quite well.

Interviewer: And what was the other thing? Formeasuring?

Nathan: Oh yes, I thought of that one when I waswatching my older sister trying to give somemedicine to her baby. She was trying to holdthe baby, which was struggling and kicking,and a medicine bottle, and a measuringspoon well, you need three hands really.Or you fill the spoon and hold it in one handthen try to get the kid into position with theother.

Interviewer: So what did you come up with?Nathan: Its simple enough, really just a device that

fits on to the end of the bottle, and you canset it to the number of centilitres then hold itat the kids mouth and in the medicine goes.Like I said, we havent got approval for thatone yet, but Im quite optimistic.

Interviewer: Sounds ingenious. Now, I understand youvebeen nominated for the Young Inventor ofthe Year Competition for your latest idea.Some kind of tent, isnt it?

Nathan: Yes, well, I like to go camping with myfriends and if youve ever tried to put up atent in the wind youll know the problem. So Istarted to think about a tent that will put itselfup. Now, there are some things on themarket. Some have tubes that you fill with airand others use spring steel. The spring steelones go up easily enough you just pull itout of the bag and throw it in the air. But itsa bit more difficult, as you might expect,when it comes to re-packing it. So I startedto think about air, and how that idea couldbe developed beyond just a few thick tubes.

Interviewer: And what did you do?Nathan: Well, this is a different type of invention. The

ideas simple enough in principle; its justgetting it to work thats difficult. It took me sixmonths, but Ive finally got a practicalmodel. It works with a pump or acompressed air capsule and it will go upinside a minute in any kind of weather.

Interviewer: And is there a company interested in makingthis?

Nathan: Ive spoken to one or two, but I want to waitto see how I get on in the competition beforedeciding anything.

Interviewer: Well, the very best of luck.Nathan: Thank you.

An Oxford professor of English once had a strictpolicy that students should finish their exams ontime. Anybody who didnt put their pen down whenhe rang a little bell would be given zero. One daythere was an exam involving over a hundredstudents. When he rang his bell they all stoppedexcept for one. He continued writing until most ofthe other students had put their papers on theprofessors desk and left the room. He then walkedforward to hand in his paper. The professor looked

at him and said, Dont bother to give me that. Youget a zero for continuing after time. The studentlooked at him and said, Professor, do you knowwho I am? The professor answered, No, and I dontcare if your fathers the prime minister. You get azero. The student then said, You mean you reallyhave no idea who I am? The professor answered,None at all, and I care even less. Thats fine, thestudent said. He then pushed his exam into themiddle of the pile of other papers and left theroom.

TAPESCRIPT1 Im due to leave school in two years time but I

dont want to go to university. Im going to go toLondon and Ill try to get a job with a financecompany. Then I want to become a dealer trading on the floor of the stock market. Its atough job. You have to work long hours and thestress is tremendous, and most people are burnedout by the time theyre thirty. But thatll be finebecause by that time I expect to be rich.

2 Even when I was at school I was interested inantiques. I started buying and selling a few things,then my boyfriend and I would take a stall atmarkets. All the time I was learning more about thebusiness. Hes my husband now and we openedthis shop ten years ago. He doesnt work here buthe takes an interest in the business. Im very happy.The shop doesnt make a lot of money but I spendmy time working with the things I like antiques.

3 Five years ago I was a senior executive in aninternational company. In many ways I enjoyed it,but I seemed to have less and less time for thethings I wanted to do. So I went to the boss andsaid I wanted to take a step down. Now I m

working part-time at a lower grade. I get paid a lotless but I enjoy the work much more. And I alsohave more t ime to spend with my family andfriends. I think it was a good move.

4 The biggest company I run makes sportswear, butIve got a number of other businesses on the go. Ilike to buy up companies that arent doing toowell, get them working properly and then, as oftenas not, Ill sell them at a profit. Of course, I make alot of money out of it and if I wanted to I couldspend the rest of my life on my yacht, but themoney isnt really the main thing. I just enjoy thechallenge, buying and selling things.

5 Im in my second year at university at the moment.When I finish I want to go and work in Africa. Idont know why, but its always fascinated me. Illprobably join one of the voluntary organisationsand teach in a school. Its not that I feel I have agreat mission to help others but Id like to livethere and get to know the local life. Thats the sortof thing you dont learn when you just travelthrough a place.

Woman: Well, Ive had some staffing problems.Two of the waiters left, then the cheflef t the next week. I replaced thewaiters but I had to do the cookingmyself for a few days. Everythingsfine now the new chef is very good.

Man: Glad to hear it. So, what would yourecommend?

6 Now listen, you can believe this if you like, but itreally happened. A guy left the office one day togo home and some t ime la ter one of h iscolleagues wanted to speak to him so she ranghim at home and he answered the phone. Butthen he said he was in a public call box. The

thing is, shed rung the wrong number. It was thenumber of a call box and he just happened tobe standing next to it at the time - and he pickedup the phone.

7 Student: I just havent been well enough to doany work this week.

Woman: Well, thats more or less what youvebeen saying for some t ime. Look, Icant real ly do anything about yourhealth. But the fact is that youre fallingfurther and further behind the rest ofthe class. Of course, were prepared tomake allowances, but the exams areless than a month away and Im afraidthe exam board wont l isten to anyexcuses.

8 A: So what did this place used to be?B: It was just a cellar that was used for storage

and Dad said we could have it if we did itup. So we cleaned the whole place out gotrid of all the junk. Then we painted andpapered it and we managed to get these oldchairs and a table and things. Its great wecan come in here and drink coffee and playmusic really loud and nobody complains.

PRACTICE TEST

TAPESCRIPT1 I didnt do the expected thing I mean I didnt

do a film or drama course after school. In fact, Istudied engineering at university, but I gotinvolved with the drama group and acted in afew plays, and then we were all asked to beextras in a film they were making near here.After that I kept trying for more work, and then Igot my first speaking part in a crime movie. Itwas only a couple of lines, but it led to somemore parts and things are going fine now.

2 I wouldnt say I hate actors, but some of themcan be really annoying to work with. Like, wheneverythings going fine on the technical side,were all in place and ready to shoot, and someactor decides they dont l ike the scr ipt, ortheyre not sure how they want to play the part,and youre standing there behind the camerajust waiting for them to do what theyre beingpaid to do that can be really boring. Thats whya good directors so important someone whocan say, Look, just get on with it.

3 I didnt really have much choice about the kindof job I was going to do. This has been a familybusiness since the 1930s and now were the lastindependent in the city. It isnt easy, becauseyoure up against the big chains, but we try to

provide a more homely atmosphere and makepeople feel welcome. When I m work ing, Ialways stand outside to greet people when theyarrive and say goodbye when they leave. Wethink it makes a difference. It must have someeffect because were still in business.

4 A lot of people think this is an easy job becauseyou get to see all the new films for nothing. Well,I love the cinema and most of the time I enjoy it.But I dont get any choice over what I go to see,and there are some films I just hate. Science-fiction bores me to death. And I hate horror films- some of them keep me awake for n ightsafterwards. But I have to see them all, and try tofind something interesting to say about them.

5 Its just the thing I enjoy most. Other guys of myage, they go to clubs or they get involved insport but Ive never been too attracted to either.Ive had one or two girlfriends, and occasionallytheyre managed to drag me somewhere else,but what I really like doing is sitting there in thedark in front of the big screen. I dont know if Illend up working in the business or not its tooearly to say, but that would be great, to get paidfor what I like doing best.

TAPESCRIPTJoan Nanette and Roger, come in. Very good

of you to come did you have time forsome lunch?

Roger Sure, no problem. Whats this all about,Joan?

Joan Well, as you know, this is the schoolscentenary year and were organisingvarious events. Now, one of them is aChristmas concert and, as the musicteacher, I ve been asked to put i ttogether. I thought you two might beable to give me a hand.

Nanette Thanks a lot, but, can I ask, why us?Joan Well, youre both senior pupils; both of

you are very musical and well, yourepopular with the others. I thought youmight be able to help persuade peopleto do things.

Roger We can try, I suppose. What sort ofstuff did you have in mind?

Joan Well, lets start with what we can relyon. Theres the school orchestra. Theycould do some light classics.

Nanette Yes, or what about some film themes?Theyre always popular.

Joan Yes, thats a good idea.Roger You mean, like, music for idiots?Nanette Roger, you re such a snob. Just

because you play leading violin. Peoplearent go ing to come to a schoolconcert to hear heavy classical music.

Joan I th ink Nanettes got a point there,Roger. Now, weve also got the schoolchoir. Im sure they can do a few piecesthat people will enjoy but we have toth ink beyond that . What e lse ispossible?

Nanette Wel l , there s Dave Bates, Char l ieAdams, Alan whathisname and Marie you know, the tall one. Theyve got arock group going.

Joan Yes, I ve heard that are they anygood?

Roger Its difficult to tell. They play so loud itjust sounds like white noise to me.

Nanette There you go again. Actually, I thinktheyre great, and Dave especially -hes a very good guitarist.

Joan I know I taught him some of it. Youknow, I think he could do a solo spot aswell, i f hes interested. On acousticguitar I know he still plays it.

Nanette Mmm, possibly.Joan OK, I l l tell you what, why dont you

have a word with him?Nanette Thats no problem. Theyll certainly play

as a group. As to the solo well, Imsure hell do it if I ask him nicely.

Roger Im sure he will.Joan Now, who e lse do we know? What

about you, Nanette? Youre probablythe best singer in the senior school.

Roger What kind of stuff do you do? I haventheard you sing solo.

Nanette Oh, jazz and blues numbers, mainly.But Ive never sung in a concert and Icant do i t w i thout some sor t o fbacking.

Joan Well, I know there are a few people inthe orchestra who like to play that sortof stuff.

Roger Yes, Danny plays jazz on the clarinet,and you could have Trev on thesaxophone and

Joan OK, could you ask around, Roger? Seeif you can get four or five together as abacking group for Nanette.

Roger Me? I hate jazz.Nanette Oh, come on, Roger. You have to do

something.Roger All right, Ill do what I can.Joan Thats good. I think were beginning to

get somewhere. Now, Mr Andrews haspromised that the drama group will doa couple of things, but we need a bitmore. Any other ideas?
