Listening Paper 4, Part 4 page 18

TAPESCRIPTBernard Of course, one of the approaches to

crime that’s 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 won’t 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 what’s led to kids beingbanned from some American schoolsbecause they played at soldiers in theplayground. No, I don’t think I’d 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 doesn’t mean i t ’s a bad idea. Imean, look at l i t ter. We’ve 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, there’s 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, I’m told that NewYork is safer than London these days.

Matthew I can’t believe that. I mean, look at thenumber of shootings in the United States.We don’t have anything like that level inBritain.

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

Matthew Well, that’s 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.That’s hardly a deterrent.

Bernard Yes, but many states in America still havethe death penalty for murder and thatdoesn’t seem to make much difference.

Matthew Well, you can’t tell, but what I do know isthat when we had hanging this countrywas a much safer place. Look, I’m notsaying that we should bring back thedeath penalty – it’s too late for that. But alife sentence should mean life, l ike itused to.

Bernard But prison officers would tell you that it’sonly 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,we’re 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 we’re going to have to leaveit there for this week. Join me, if you can,at the same time next week when thetopic will be …

TAPESCRIPTGood evening, and I’d like to thank you for inviting

me here tonight. It’s nice to see so many young peoplein the audience, particularly since the subject oftonight’s 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.

Let’s get down to some specifics. Reported speech– it’s a fact that very few young people use the word‘said’ any more, par t icular ly when repor t ing aconversation. Instead of this, they use ‘like’, and atypical exchange might be, ‘I’m like, “Do you want togo out tonight? and he’s like, “Not really. There’s somefootball on the telly,” and I’m like, “That’s all you everthink about.” We haven’t got to the point yet where

newspapers print, ‘The Prime Minister’s 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 ‘isn’t it?’ thishas been around for a number of years, particularly inworking-class London speech. However, with the verb‘be’, it is now coming to be used in the first and secondperson as well. You might hear, for example, ‘I’m not incharge here, innit?’ or, ‘You’re pleased about it, innit?’It’s 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 it’s 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 I’m sure a lot of you know, isthose silly question tags – ‘don’t you?’, ‘isn’t he?’,‘doesn’t she?’, ‘have we?’ … and my personal favourite,‘aren’t I?’, which, when you think about it, isn’t evenlogical. Now, not all languages use these. For example,Turkish has one word, mi /m?/, which does the jobperfectly adequately. Wouldn’t it be nice if all questiontags in English could be expressed with one word –‘innit’? Well, I’d 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’, ‘She’s going to thesupermarket’, ‘That’ll be five pounds, please.’ There’s atheory that this developed at a time when a lot ofpeople who didn’t have English as a first languagewere moving to Australia, and that it was a way thelocals used to check understanding. Nobody’s 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, let’s look at some typical expressions in thespeech of younger people ...

Man: It looks fine.Woman: You don’t th ink i t makes me look

overweight? You said that red dress Ibought looked fine and I’ve never feltright in it.

Man: No, it suits you – it really doesWoman: I’m not sure – and I think the colour’s

wrong for me too.Man: Well, if you’re really not happy with it,

let’s just leave it.2 And the lastest thing is, she’s had her tongue

pierced. As if the tattoos weren’t bad enough. Imean, she’s only 16 and she’s got this big studright through the middle of her tongue. She toldme she was going to have another one put throughher nose. Well, I told Agnes that if she was a childof mine I’d have her locked up.

3 I went back into the office and looked for themeverywhere. I went right through my desk thenchecked at the front desk to see if they’d beenhanded in. In the end I just had to leave it in thestreet and take the bus home. I’ve got a spare set inthe house so it wasn’t a big problem, but it wasannoying.

4 Man 1: So you survived?Man 2: Sure – I didn’t anticipate being stuck

next to the boss all night, but he wasOK. It’s just a pity about the restauarnt.

Man 1: Yes, I don’t know how we always end upin the same kind of place.

Man 2: I know - bland English food served upwith a bit of French suace. And suchsmall portions.

Man 1: I know. Why can’t we just go out for acurry like everyone else?

5 He’s just great and he gets on fine with the olderone. Oh, they fought for a week but now they’vesettled down together. It’s like he thinks she’s hismum. He’s a bit naughty, of course. He tried toclimb the curtains the other day and got most ofthe way up, but that’s the way they are at that age.

6 Woman: You know, when I got off the plane fromRome it was raining, and it rained for thenext three days. But since then I’ve beena bit surprised to find that it isn’t usuallyas bad as that.

Man: I don’t know. Compared to the south ofSpain – well, it’s so cold and wet. Muchworse than I thought it would be. I try toignore it but it depresses me.

Woman: I can’t ignore it. I try not to go out unlessthe sun is shining – which means I spenda lot of days inside. That can make you abit sad. I’ll be glad to get home.

Man: Me too. 7 I got interested in it after the films came out. There’s

a shop in the High Street that sells all the stuff. It’sgreat there. They have these big boards withlandscapes on – hills and bridges and buildings –and you can fight battles on them. So I’ve got a lotof figures now and I’ve painted all of them.

8 Now this particular part of the graveyard is said tobe haunted. I don’t want to alarm you, but someodd things have happened here in the past fewyears. We’ve had people saying they felt thatthey’d been scratched by something, or feelingcold and numb. It may be because the personburied here was a very evil man. He was a judgeand I’m told he hanged a lot of people in the olddays. Now let’s move on – quite quickly.

TAPESCRIPT1 The area I cover is quite big and there are parts of

it that I can’t do in a one-day trip, so I have to stayin hotels. I think on average, that would be two orthree nights a week. It’s quite boring and it can belonely too. So you’d think I ’d avoid hotels onholiday, but, no, I love them. For a start, I’m withmy family, and I don’t have to get up to work.That’s one thing I usually do on holiday – sleeplate in the morning. I very seldom get up forbreakfast.

2 Quite often, when I’m not at work I’m on call.There’s an emergency and I have to come in, evenin the middle of the night or at weekends. So whenI do get a holiday, I have to get away. I often thinkI’d like just to be around the house for a few days,but I know that if things got difficult they mightgive me a call. So it’s best to be away. I like to gowalking, but it doesn’t matter much as long as I’mnot at home.

3 Last year was the first year I was able to go onholiday without my parents. They said I could gooff wi th my fr iends, as long as we didn’t goabroad. So we went camping up in the LakeDistrict. It was great fun. We did a bit of walking

as well, from camp site to camp site and in themountains, but not too much. Mind you, it was stillpretty cold at night. I think next year we might trythe youth hostels instead.

4 Everybody talks about the long holidays we havein this job, but what they don’t mention is that thesalaries are so low that you can’t afford to domuch. I managed a week in Spain with a couple ofgirlfriends but that was it. We enjoyed ourselvesthough. Of course, I did the usual silly Englishthing – tried to get a sun-tan inside five days. Icame home looking like a tomato. For the rest ofthe summer, I just did things in the flat and hadthe odd day-trip here and there.

5 It’s quite difficult for me to have a normal holidaybecause I get recognised. However, I ’m onlyknown to people who watch British TV, so if wecan pick a place where not many British peoplego, it’s a bit easier. But even that’s getting moredifficult because the series is shown in quite a fewcountries these days. We were in Romania lastyear and a Russian family came up and asked formy autograph. Maybe I should dye my hair andgrow a beard before I go away again.

TAPESCRIPT1 Man 1: Well, I couldn’t believe it when the first

half ended without any scoring.Man 2: Yes, I thought we’d 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. I’m 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 it’s 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 didn’t go either – too busy. But Luisatold me that Susan was there with a newboyfriend. His name’s Freddie, apparently. Ithink she wanted you to meet him.

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

old for her. 5 We’d 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 didn’t have a full-time porter sothey sent me out sometimes to carry bags forguests. I’d slip on a coat over my kitchen gear andgo and take their suitcases up to their rooms.

7 I’m standing here in the High Street. This isn’t 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 it’s also here that you’ll find Costa’s café andice cream shop – reputed to make the best icecream in the area. And that’s what we’re going tolook at today – how a t radi t ion has not onlysurvived but flourished.

8 Man: It’s 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, it’s a bit cold most of the time, but

it’s nice to swim in fresh water. You don’tget the taste of salt in your mouth.

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

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

Discoveries and Inventions


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

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

Nathan: Yes, the Find-me Torch. There’s also ameasuring device for giving medicine toyoung children. I ’ve got a companyinterested in that one but we’re 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,it’s 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 they’re 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: It’s 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 kid’s mouth and in the medicine goes.Like I said, we haven’t got approval for thatone yet, but I’m quite optimistic.

Interviewer: Sounds ingenious. Now, I understand you’vebeen nominated for the Young Inventor ofthe Year Competition for your latest idea.Some kind of tent, isn’t it?

Nathan: Yes, well, I like to go camping with myfriends and if you’ve ever tried to put up atent in the wind you’ll 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 it’sa 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

idea’s simple enough in principle; it’s justgetting it to work that’s difficult. It took me sixmonths, but I’ve 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: I’ve 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 didn’t 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 theprofessor’s desk and left the room. He then walkedforward to hand in his paper. The professor looked

at him and said, ‘Don’t 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 don’tcare if your father’s 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.’ ‘That’s fine,’ thestudent said. He then pushed his exam into themiddle of the pile of other papers and left theroom.

TAPESCRIPT1 I’m due to leave school in two years’ time but I

don’t want to go to university. I’m going to go toLondon and I’ll try to get a job with a financecompany. Then I want to become a dealer –trading on the floor of the stock market. It’s atough job. You have to work long hours and thestress is tremendous, and most people are burnedout by the time they’re thirty. But that’ll 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. He’s my husband now and we openedthis shop ten years ago. He doesn’t work here buthe takes an interest in the business. I’m very happy.The shop doesn’t 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, butI’ve got a number of other businesses on the go. Ilike to buy up companies that aren’t doing toowell, get them working properly and then, as oftenas not, I’ll 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 isn’t really the main thing. I just enjoy thechallenge, buying and selling things.

5 I’m in my second year at university at the moment.When I finish I want to go and work in Africa. Idon’t know why, but it’s always fascinated me. I’llprobably join one of the voluntary organisationsand teach in a school. It’s not that I feel I have agreat mission to help others but I’d like to livethere and get to know the local life. That’s the sortof thing you don’t learn when you just travelthrough a place.

TAPESCRIPTInterviewer: So, Clara, you moved to London – was it

three years ago? Clara: That’s right, just over three years ago. And

I’ve heard it said that it takes three yearsto learn how things really work in a newcountry, so maybe I’m getting there.

Interviewer: And which part of the States are youfrom?

Clara: Texas. I grew up in a small town in westTexas, which maybe isn’t the bestpreparat ion for l iv ing in a place l ikeLondon, though I did go to college in NewYork and worked there for a while after Igraduated.

Interviewer: And what are the things you find differentabout London?

Clara: Well, there are so many it’s difficult toknow where to start. I think the biggestchange is in the relationships you havewith your neighbours. In the town where Icome from, everybody knows everybodyelse and they’re always popping in andout of each other’s houses, and that wastrue to a cer tain extent in myneighbourhood in New York as well. But inLondon it’s different. Now don’t get mewrong, I’m not saying that people areunfr iendly. They’re nice enough andusually very polite but you can go forweeks without seeing your neighbours.

Interviewer: And did you find this difficult to adjust to?Clara: Well, yes. At the beginning, I was quite

lonely, but maybe that’s true of anybodyin a strange city in a new country. After awhile I made friends and that was OK,and then later I began to see theadvantages of the English way. You see,back home, people take much moreinterest in what you’re doing so you haveless freedom to be yourself, and Texas isquite a conservative place, really. Here,you get more chance to live how you

want to live.Interviewer: OK, now a lot of Americans say they find

British food difficult to adjust to. Did youhave problems?

Clara: I’ll say. I spent the first few months walkingaround thinking, ‘These people can’t makecoffee and their food is so bland and theydon’t know how to put a sandwichtogether and their beer is warm,’ and soon.

Interviewer: And do you still feel that way?Clara: Yep – it’s all still true, but I guess I’ve

found a few ways round it. You can findgood coffee if you’re prepared to look forit, though the average cup of coffee canbe awful. The same’s true of sandwiches –if you get them from a sandwich shopthey’re fine. But this is stil l a countrywhere a cheese sandwich can mean justthat – cheese. Not even a bit of salad togo with it. The food, generally, is lessspicy that the stuff we eat back homebecause there’s a lot of Mexican influenceon food in Texas, but I’ve found I can buythese things in the supermarket, or go to aMexican or Tex-Mex restaurant. That’s onething I like here. English food is quite plainbut I f ind the people are quiteadventurous eaters. There’s a huge rangeof restaurants selling foreign food andeven a local supermarket will carry a widevariety.

Interviewer: And the beer?Clara: Well, just the same – you can get cold

beer if you look for it, but I’ve realised thatice-cold beer isn’t always a good idea in aclimate like England’s.

Interviewer: So you haven’t managed to adjust to theweather?

Clara: No – that’s one thing I’ll never get used to. Interviewer: Well, you can’t have everything. Clara,

thank you very much for talking to us today.

Warden: I’m sorry. You’re not allowed to parkhere at all during the day.

Woman: Yes you are. You can leave a car herefor a short time while you take a childinto the playground. You should knowthat.

Warden: Well, I’ve written the ticket. There’snothing I can do about it now.

Woman: Well, I’m going to appeal against it –and I’ll win. It’s time you people wereproperly trained.

2 The thing that annoys me is the hypocrisy. Imean, the most common drugs which are bothaddictive and can ki l l you are tobacco and

alcohol, and these are the two that you can buylegally. And then there are calories. Have youever gone to the cinema and asked for a smallcola? They give you about three-quarters of alitre.

the phone we have is quite old now and it wasgiving us a bit of trouble so I went to the phoneshop. The salesman said that cordless ones aremuch better now than they used to be - and if Ididn’t like it I could take it back. I must admit it’sbeen fine – I can walk around the house andchat.

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

Woman: Well, that’s more or less what you’vebeen saying for some t ime. Look, Ican’t real ly do anything about yourhealth. But the fact is that you’re fallingfurther and further behind the rest ofthe class. Of course, we’re prepared tomake allowances, but the exams areless than a month away and I’m afraidthe exam board won’t l isten to anyexcuses.

Part 2 page 125

TAPESCRIPTThe sport I do is karate and there were variousreasons why I took it up. I think the main one wasthat I finally realised I was never going to be anygood at football or basketball. In fact, I don’t thinkteam sports are for me really. But I wanted to keepfit so I started looking for something I could do onmy own. I mean, even things l ike squash andtennis, you have to have a partner. And I suppose,yes, I’d seen some martial arts films and fanciedmyself doing all that stuff. So about a year and ahalf ago I started going along to the local karateclub. In fact, in this city, taekwondo and even kungfu are more popular, but, I don’t know, somehowkarate appealed to me more. Well, the first thing Irealised is that it’s a lot harder work than it looks.You get this image from the films of people leapingup into the air with no effort and smashing woodand stuff like that, but it isn’t like that at all. Youhave to be very flexible and very fit. We don’t do alot of running, but we spend the first part of everysession doing stretching exercises – which can bequite painful – and at different times you’re doingother exercises to make you stronger – press-upsand things like that. In fact, in many ways, if youwatched a karate class, you might find it quiteboring. All the eastern martial arts are based on theidea that there’s a perfect way to do every move

and you have to do it again and again till you get itright. So the whole class might do one move – let’ssay stepping forward and blocking a kick with yourarm – you sort of sweep it down across your body.So then we’re all in the same finishing position andyou have to hold that while the instructors comeround and check everybody – moving an arm or aleg here and there. Then the whole class will doanother move – stepping forward and punchingperhaps, then it’s all checked again. That’s not allwe do, of course. There are things called katas,which are sequences of around twenty moves –blocks and punches and kicks, moving around thefloor. And you have to learn these, perhaps oneevery couple of months or so, and you practisethem again and again. We do some free fighting, ofcourse, but not a lot really – which is fine by mebecause that can be quite scary – but we don’tbreak wood. As the instructor said, when are youever going to be attacked by a piece of wood?There are nine grades up to black belt, and wehave a grading every three months. That’s like anexam, and a higher level black belt will come alongto watch you. I’m about more that half way now – Iwear a purple belt – and I expect to have my blackbelt in another eighteen months. Of course, that’sonly the beginning really …

TAPESCRIPT1 I didn’t do the expected thing – I mean I didn’t

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 wouldn’t say I hate actors, but some of themcan be really annoying to work with. Like, wheneverything’s going fine on the technical side,we’re all in place and ready to shoot, and someactor decides they don’t l ike the scr ipt, orthey’re not sure how they want to play the part,and you’re standing there behind the camerajust waiting for them to do what they’re beingpaid to do – that can be really boring. That’s whya good director’s so important – someone whocan say, ‘Look, just get on with it.’

3 I didn’t really have much choice about the kindof job I was going to do. This has been a familybusiness since the 1930s and now we’re the lastindependent in the city. It isn’t easy, becauseyou’re 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 we’re 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 don’t 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 It’s just the thing I enjoy most. Other guys of myage, they go to clubs or they get involved insport but I’ve never been too attracted to either.I’ve had one or two girlfriends, and occasionallythey’re managed to drag me somewhere else,but what I really like doing is sitting there in thedark in front of the big screen. I don’t know if I’llend up working in the business or not – it’s tooearly to say, but that would be great, to get paidfor what I like doing best.

of you to come – did you have time forsome lunch?

Roger Sure, no problem. What’s this all about,Joan?

Joan Well, as you know, this is the school’scentenary year and we’re 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, you’re both senior pupils; both of

you are very musical and – well, you’repopular 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, let’s start with what we can relyon. There’s the school orchestra. Theycould do some light classics.

Nanette Yes, or what about some film themes?They’re always popular.

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

because you play leading violin. Peoplearen’t go ing to come to a schoolconcert to hear heavy classical music.

Joan I th ink Nanette’s got a point there,Roger. Now, we’ve also got the schoolchoir. I’m 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. They’ve got arock group going.

Joan Yes, I ’ve heard that – are they anygood?

Roger It’s difficult to tell. They play so loud itjust sounds like white noise to me.

Nanette There you go again. Actually, I thinkthey’re great, and Dave especially -he’s 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 he’s interested. On acousticguitar – I know he still plays it.

Nanette Mmm, possibly.Joan OK, I’ l l tell you what, why don’t you

have a word with him?Nanette That’s no problem. They’ll certainly play

as a group. As to the solo – well, I’msure he’ll do it if I ask him nicely.

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

about you, Nanette? You’re probablythe best singer in the senior school.

Roger What kind of stuff do you do? I haven’theard you sing solo.

Nanette Oh, jazz and blues numbers, mainly.But I’ve never sung in a concert – and Ican’t 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, I’ll do what I can.Joan That’s good. I think we’re 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?
