Good morning. World Tours. My name is Jamie. How can I help you?

Good morning. I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA. Could you send bu a brochure?

Of course. Could I have your name please?

Thank you. And your address?

Thanks. And can I have your phone number?

Thank you. And can I ask you where you heard about World Tours? From a friend? Or did you see an advert somewhere?

No, I read about you in the newspaper.

OK, I’ll get the brochures in the post lớn you but can I give you some information over the phone. What kinds of things tự you want lớn tự on your holiday?

I’m interested in going lớn California with my family. I’ve got two children and we want lớn hire a siêu xe.

OK. We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California. The first one begins in Los Angeles and there’s plenty of time lớn visit some of the theme parks there.

That’s something on my children’s list sánh I’d want lớn include that.

Good. Then you drive lớn San Francisco. From San Francisco you can drive lớn Yosemite Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose lớn stay in a lodge or on the campsite.

I don’t lượt thích the idea of staying in a tent. It’d be too hot.

Right. And the tour ends in Las Vegas.

The other trip we can arrange is slightly different. It starts in San Francisco. Then you drive south lớn Cambria.

Someone told bu there’s a really nice castle near Cambria. Will we go near that?

Hearst Castle is on that road sánh you could stop there.

Good. I’d lượt thích lớn tự that. Does this trip also go into the desert?

No, it continues lớn Santa Monica where most people lượt thích lớn stop and tự some shopping.

We have enough of that at trang chủ sánh that doesn’t interest us.

OK. Well you could go straight on lớn San Diego.

That’s good for beaches isn’t it?

That’s right, that’s a good place lớn relax and your children might lượt thích lớn visit the zoo before flying trang chủ.

I don’t think sánh. We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.

So how many days are the trips and how much tự they cost?

The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California which lasts twelve days and covers 2,020 kilometres. The shortest journey is 206 km and the longest is 632 kilometres. The cost is £525 per person. That includes accommodation, siêu xe rental and a flight but no meals.

That lasts nine days but you spend only three days on the road. You cover about 980 kilometres altogether.

Yes, it’s almost a hundred pounds cheaper. It’s £429 per person, which is a good khuyễn mãi giảm giá.

So that covers accommodation and siêu xe hire. What about flights?

They aren’t included. But these hotels offer dinner in the price.

OK. Well, thank you very much. I’ll be in touch when I’ve had a chance lớn look at the brochure.

I’m pleased lớn help. Goodbye.

On behalf of LP Clubs, I’d lượt thích lớn welcome you all here today. My name’s Sandy Fisher and I’m one of the fitness managers here. Before we start our tour of the club I’ll just run rẩy through some basic information about the facilities we have here, including recent improvements, and explain the types of membership available.

Our greatest asset is probably our swimming pool which at 25 metres isn’t Olympic-sized, but now we’ve expanded it lớn eight lanes, it’s much wider. This means there are rarely more phàn nàn a couple of people at a time in each lane. Unfortunately, there isn’t space for an outdoor pool here but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable, which means you can enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer days.

Our recently refurbished fitness suite has all the latest exercise equipment including ten new running machines, and a wide range of weight-training machines. Each thành viên is given full training in how lớn operate the equipment and there is always a trainer on duty lớn offer help and advice.

Although we tự have adult-only times after 6 and at certain times at weekends, children are well catered for. Older children continue lớn benefit from a wide range of tuition; anything from trampolining lớn yoga.

One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them. This starts on day one with your personal assessment. You are asked lớn fill in a questionnaire giving details of any health problems. One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you.

The trainer will then take you through the safety rules for using the equipment in the fitness suite. During your next exercise session a personal trainer will work with you lớn make sure you understand these. It’s very important lớn tự this because we really tự want lớn avoid having any sports injuries. There’s a lot more lớn looking after yourself phàn nàn simply lifting weights!

At the over of the personal assessment, the trainer will draw up a plan, outlining what you should try lớn achieve within a six-week period. This will then be reviewed at the over of the six weeks.

Now, I’ll just quickly run rẩy through the types of membership we have available. All members must pay a joining fee of £90 in addition lớn the rates for the monthly membership fees. Gold membership entitles you lớn không tính tiền entry at all LP Clubs. There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns sánh if you travel a lot will be a great advantage. Individual gold membership costs £50 a month and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.

Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them lớn use the club during the day and sánh LP gives booking preferences lớn Premier members at peak times. This means you will find it easier lớn book the sessions at times that suit you.

Reciprocal arrangements with other LP Clubs are available lớn Premier members. Premier membership is for individuals only, but you will be sent passes for guests every month. The monthly fee is £65.

You don’t have lớn have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club. We provide robes and hairdryers in the changing rooms, but it’s very important lớn remember your photo thẻ because you won’t be able lớn get in without it. For people who aren’t working during the day then …

Erm … hello Professor, I’m John Wishart. I’m working on my entry for the Global Design Competition. My tutor said you might be able lớn help bu with it.

Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. Come in and tell bu about it. What sort of competition is it?

Well, it’s an international design competition and we have lớn come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen appliance.

I see, and are there any special conditions? Does it have lớn save energy for example?

Actually that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have lớn adopt an innovative approach lớn existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before.

I see, that sounds tricky. And what kitchen appliance have you chosen?

I decided lớn choose a dishwasher.

Interesting. What makes you choose that?

Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost identical lớn each other. I think some people will be prepared lớn pay a little extra for something that looks different.

That’s a nice idea. I see you’ve called your design ‘the Rockpool’; why is that?

Basically because it looks lượt thích the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass sánh that you can look down into it.

And there’s a stone at the bottom. Is that just for decoration?

Actually it does have a function. Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.

So it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher.

It’s a really nice design, but what makes it innovative?

Well, I decided lớn make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide.

In place of water and detergent? How will you manage that?

The idea is lớn pressurize the carbon dioxide sánh that it becomes a liquid. The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself.

Sounds lượt thích a brilliant idea! Your system will totally tự away with the need for strong detergents. So what happens once the dishes are clean?

Well, lớn allow them lớn dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go lớn an area called the holding chamber. That’s where the liquid is depressurised and sánh it reverts lớn a gas. Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent lớn the waste system.

It sounds lượt thích you’ve thought it all out very thoroughly. So, what happens lớn the carbon dioxide once the process is complete? Not wasted I hope.

Actually, that’s where the real savings are made. The carbon dioxide is sent back lớn the cylinder and can be used again and again.

What a terrific idea. Do you think it will ever be built?

Probably not, but that’s OK.

Well, I’m sure a lot of positive things will come out of your design.

Now, you seem lớn have thought about everything sánh what exactly did you need bu lớn help you with?

Well, my design has made it lớn the final stage of the competition and, in a few months’ time. I have lớn give a presentation, and that’s the part I was hoping you could help bu with.

Right, well that should be easy enough. What have you managed lớn tự sánh far?

Well, I’ve got detailed drawings lớn show how it will work and I’ve also written a 500-word paper on it.

I see. Well, if you want lớn stand a good chance of winning you really need a model of the machine.

Yes, I thought I might but I’m having a few problems.

What is the main difficulty sánh far? Let bu guess – is it the materials?

Yes. I want it lớn look professional but everything that’s top quality is also very expensive.

Look, projects lượt thích this are very important lớn us. They really help lift our profile. So why don’t you talk lớn the university about a grant? I can help you fill out the application forms if you lượt thích.

You’d better show bu this paper you’ve written as well. For a global competition such as this you need lớn make sure the technical details you’ve given are accurate and thorough.

That would be a great help.

Is there anything else I can do?

Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered thành viên of the Đen bear family. One in ten Đen bears is actually born with a white coat, which is the result of a special ren that surfaces in a few

Local people have named it ‘the spirit bear’. And according lớn the legends of these communities, its snowy fur brings with it a special power. Because of this, it has always been highly regarded by them – sánh much that they tự not speak of seeing it lớn anyone else. It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area.

The white bear’s habitat is quite interesting. The bear’s strong relationship with the old-growth rainforest is a complex one. The white bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways. For example, the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams. Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are trang chủ lớn salmon, which are the bear’s main food source.

In return, the bear’s feeding habits nurture the forest. As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms, from birds lớn insects and more.

Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands. There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less phàn nàn two hundred of these white bears remain. The best way lớn protect them is lớn make every effort lớn preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment – in other words, their ecosystem.

The greatest threat lớn the bear’s existence is the loss of its habitat. Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees. In addition, they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds, and many hibernation sites have also been lost.

The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit on fishing at the moment.

All these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear’s very existence, which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low.

And sánh, what’s the situation going forward? Community organizations, environmental groups and the British Columbia government are now working together on the problem. The government is now requiring logging companies lớn adopt a better logging method, which is a positive step.

However, these measures alone may not be sufficient lớn ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future. Other steps also need lớn be taken. While it is important lớn maintain the spirit bear’s habitat, there also needs lớn be more emphasis on its expansion. The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes …
