Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADrb6es-f20 (0:00 -> 2:30)

CLERK: Good morning, ma’am, and welcome to “Australia’s Moving Experience”! How can I help you?
WOMAN: Well, I... I hope you can help me. I’m so up in the air right now... I...
CLERK: Just calm down, now. Let me guess: you’re moving and it has you a little confused.
WOMAN: That’s it exactly. You see, I’m relocating to the United States next month and I’m having a
hard time getting organised.
CLERK: Here, fill out your name and address, and let me ask you a few questions. Oh, what should I call
you?
WOMAN: My name is Jane, Jane Bond.
CLERK: OK, Jane, first of all, what’s your work phone number? In case I have any questions about
things.
WOMAN: My work phone is 94635550. But please try not to call me too often there. My boss hates
personal calls.
CLERK: So does mine, ma’am, so does mine. And what address should we ship your things to?
WOMAN: My new company is letting me stay temporarily at 509 Clark House, that’s C-L-A-R-K, 1137
University Drive in Seattle.
CLERK: Seattle? Beautiful city, I hear. Mountains right beside the ocean, almost. Cooler than Australia,
too. OK, and when should we come pack your things?
WOMAN: I guess that would be on Monday, March 11th.
CLERK: Do you want any help with an after-packing clean-up? We do that for a small additional charge.
WOMAN: Yes, that would be helpful. I promised the landlord I’d give her the keys back by 5:00 p.m. on
Thursday, the 14th.
CLERK: Great, we’ll just schedule the clean-up for that day. That way, the place will smell clean and
there’ll be no dust.
WOMAN: Well, you do think of everything! Oh, how much is this going to cost?
CLERK: Here is a list of our basic prices.
WOMAN: Oh dear, this seems rather expensive!
CLERK: Yes ma’am, but you’re paying for the best. We’re careful and we’re fast. Like we say, the only
thing we break are speed records getting you moved.
WOMAN: Well... maybe that’s so... Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you. I don’t want my furniture shipped with
me. I won't be looking for an apartment till after I arrive in America. Would it be possible to put my
furniture in storage here for a month, then have it sent along later?
CLERK: Of course, we do that all the time. A couple of other things. Here at "A Moving Experience”, we
try to pack your things logically. We don’t just throw stuff in boxes.

Welcome to Haybridge Hall and thank you for choosing to use our Guide-O-Matic to help you make the
most out of your stay here. This guide is available in six other languages. Just ask at the ticket office. The
general history of the house is as follows:
Haybridge Hall was constructed at the end of the 15th Century and was originally called Hawken Hall
after the first family who owned it. Jack Hawken was a local businessman who had become wealthy thanks
to success with wool exports. The house has changed very little in the last 500 years with the exception of
the Dawson Conservatory which can be found behind the ticket office. This was added in 1941 when the
British Army was using Haybridge Hall as a headquarters for the 8th Army. Churchill is said to have spent
two nights at Haybridge in the main guest bedroom in the build up to the Normandy Landings in June
1944.
The Hawken family only managed to hold onto this fine property for around a decade before they had to
sell up and the name Haybridge was used by the aristocrats who bought it. The Yardley family were not
from this area, but from the north of England. They owned Haybridge for some 200 years and turned the
surrounding area into productive farmland where various crops, from wheat to potatoes, were grown.
The Yardley family left Haybridge in 1722 and the property was left empty for some sixty years or so,
falling, in the meantime, into quite a state of disrepair. It was during this period of neglect that the small
church built on the grounds of the house in the early 16th Century, crumbled into ruins. Little is known
about this church although one drawing of it survives. A local artist, Timothy Warsden, sketched the
church in 1728, a mere six years after the Yardley family moved out.
Haybridge Hall's destiny seemed to have been that of long-term neglect and eventual destruction but the
renowned local author William Hoaten bought Haybridge in 1784 and spent three years and a considerable
amount of money renovating the mansion. By now, the amount of land belonging to the property had been
considerably reduced and consisted of the few acres you see today.
The Hoaten family stayed at Haybridge until the beginning of the Second World War when the British
Army took over the property. After the war, the surviving members of the Hoaten family decided it would
prove too costly to move back into Haybridge Hall and so the property came to be owned by the charitable
organisation English Heritage, who runs it to this day.
English Heritage undertook an extensive renovation operation in the 1970's, costing over ten million
dollars. The aim of this work was to return Haybridge Hall to something of its glory days when it was
owned by the Yardley family for two centuries. Specialist builders and craftsmen from all over the world
were employed in an attempt to reconstruct the best possible example of a 17th Century country house.
Haybridge Hall remains to this day one of the finest examples of British renaissance architecture and the
furnishing within gives an authentic idea of what country life was like three to four centuries ago in this
country. Last year, over 60,000 visitors took the same path through Haybridge Hall that you yourself are
taking today.

Ben: Have you seen this story in The Herald? It says The Times is closing down in three months' time.
Gemma: Ben, that's good news, that newspaper is terrible. I won't miss it.
Ben: What do you mean? The Times is the best newspaper in the city. If that closes, we'll only have The
Herald and that City Journal which is too awful for words.
Gemma: You only like The Times because it takes up to 20 pages every day with sports. This is a
newspaper which puts the horoscopes on the bottom of the front page. I think that tells you how serious it is.
Ben: Come on. That's hardly fair now, is it? Remember the campaign they did last year to save the children's
hospital. You can't tell me you didn't think that was a worthwhile thing to do.
Gemma: They only did that because they knew it would strike a nerve with the average guy in the street.
You know, saving a children's hospital. It's like the ultimate in populist journalism. Do you remember
reading their article a couple of months before criticizing the local authorities wasting money on out-of-date
healthcare facilities, including the very same children's hospital? They have only ever written what they think
will sell more newspapers.
Ben: Well, it obviously didn't work if they're closing, did it?
Gemma: No, and thank heavens for that. The City Journal is a great paper and you don't like it because it
doesn't devote 5 pages every day to baseball stats.
Ben: This is a baseball city. We've got a great team. Why shouldn't we read about it? Where are we going to
get the results now? The Journal puts all the results in one tiny box on the back page and The Herald gives
them maybe a half page. It's almost as if they feel ashamed at having a successful team here. I just don't see
why people buy The Journal.
Gemma: Err, maybe because it has authentic journalists working there, journalists who know something
about what is going on in the rest of the country and the rest of the world. I think a newspaper needs to meet
all the needs of its readers, not just those who like sports. The Journal did a great piece on famine in Africa
last week, did you read it?
Ben: No, I can't say I did. I think they should leave that stuff for the national papers or the TV news. If I buy
a local newspaper, I don't want to read about the famine in Africa. Those articles are only written by the
ambitious journalists who are fishing for jobs in the national press.
Gemma: Oh, you're so cynical.
Ben: And another thing. What about the jobs section in The Times? That was one of the most useful parts of
it. Three or four pages of good quality jobs and always local. The Herald has one too....look, here on page
17....one page....and look, half of these jobs are on the other side of the state. Every business, every store in
this city knows, if they want to employ someone, get someone to work for them, they have to place an ad in
The Times. How are all these people going to get work now? This will absolutely wreck the local economy.
Gemma: You certainly know how to exaggerate Ben. Destroy the local economy, will it? I admit the jobs
section was pretty good in The Times but one of the other two newspapers will just get the ads instead. That's
how things work. This city just isn't big enough for three local newspapers and you know it. People only get
them to see what's on in town and to see who's died.
Ben: That's so morbid!
Gemma: It's true. People use the TV or the internet for everything else. It's not like it used to be 10 years
ago.
Ben: The Times was the cheapest of them all too. You can bet all the prices are going to go up.
Gemma: Hmm, you could be right. I think The Times' low price was the only thing keeping The Journal and
The Herald from increasing their prices. I don't buy a local paper that often to be honest. If I do get one, I
find myself reading no more than a few pages anyway.
Ben: Well, if The Times really does close down, that's my newspaper buying days finished. I think, in ten
years' time, nobody in this city will even buy a local paper. It's a shame really, don't you think?
Gemma: My dad told me when he was a kid, there used to be 5 local newspapers in the city and two others
serving only this corner of the state. But you know how it is, companies merge, everyone is looking for
savings, efficiency and so on. Now we'll only have two. It's survival of the fittest.

Part 4: ( https://www.esl-lounge.com/student/listening/3L12-vanuatu-transcript.php)

Good morning everyone and welcome to lecture 7 in a series of 12 on the island nations of the Pacific Ocean.
Today we will be talking about Vanuatu. Vanuatu is a group of about 15 islands divided into six provinces
which can be found around 1700 kilometers from the eastern coast of Australia. Its capital city is called Port
Vila, which has a population of more or less 30,000. The total population in Vanuatu is some 200,000.
Now, I first want to say some brief words about the history and politics of the island and then we can talk
about its culture and geography.
Many of the islands of Vanuatu have been inhabited for thousands of years, the oldest archaeological
evidence found dating to 2000 BC. In 1605, the Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernandez de Quiras became the
first European to reach the islands, believing it to be part of Terra Australis. Europeans began settling the
islands in the late 18th century, after British explorer James Cook visited the islands on his second voyage,
and gave them the name New Hebrides.
In 1887, the islands began to be administered by a French-British naval commission. In 1906, the French and
British agreed to joint Anglo-French rule over the New Hebrides. Vanuatu suffered from a practice wherein
half of the adult male population of some of the islands became indentured workers in Australia. Because of
introduced diseases, the population fell greatly, to 45,000 in 1935.
During World War II, two of the islands were used as allied military bases. In the 1960s, the Vanuatu people
started to press for self-governance and later independence; full sovereignty was finally granted by both
European nations on July 30, 1980. It joined the UN in 1981, and the Non-Aligned Movement in 1983.
During the 1990s, Vanuatu experienced political instability, which eventually resulted in a more
decentralized government. The Vanuatu Mobile Force, a paramilitary group, attempted a coup in 1996,
because of a pay dispute. There were allegations of corruption in the government. New elections were called
several times after 1997.
As far as the economy goes, it is based primarily on agriculture, which provides a living for 65% of the
population. Fishing, offshore financial services, and tourism are the other main supporters of the economy.
About 50,000 tourists visit the island group annually. Mineral deposits are negligible and the country has no
known petroleum deposits.
Economic development is hindered by dependence on relatively few commodity exports, vulnerability to
natural disasters, and long distances from main markets and between constituent islands.
GDP growth rose less than 3% on average in the 1990s. In response to foreign concerns, the government has
promised to tighten regulation of its offshore financial center. In mid-2002, the government also stepped up
efforts to boost tourism.
There are three official languages: English, French and Bislama, which is a creole language which evolved
from English. In addition, over one hundred local languages are spoken on the islands. The density of
languages per capita is the highest of any nation in the world with an average of only 2000 speakers per
language.
Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin, and have a tropical or sub-tropical climate. The
highest point in Vanuatu is Mount Tabwemasana, at 1879 m. There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu,
including Lopevi as well as several underwater ones.
A severe earthquake in November 1999, followed by a tsunami, caused extensive damage to the northern
island of Pentecote, leaving thousands homeless. Another powerful earthquake in January 2002 caused
extensive damage in the capital, Port Vila, and surrounding areas, and also was followed by a tsunami.
The future for Vanuatu is very uncertain. Global warming and the threat of rising sea levels puts this group
of islands in imminent danger. Much of the Vanuatu land mass lies just a few feet above the waves. If sea
levels do continue to rise at current rates, the inhabitants of Vanuatu may be seeking refuge in New Zealand
or Australia before the end of the century.
