This passage focuses on the history of trades and transaction. The earliest
method of trading is the barter trade, which entails people using goods they own
 4

to exchange for the items they want. This practice is seen as inefficient. A
monetary way of exchange is presented many years later as money is invented.
Money such as beads, shells and hooks are then reworked to gold coins. This
system became more troublesome as time goes on because of thievery and the
weight of coin pouches. The Greek and Roman traders came up with paper
checks, which can be used as cash to deposit the number of gold in them.
Ultimately, present-day governments took on the idea and began the printing of
paper money. Besides this, technology's evolution has presented other means of
exchange such as credit cards and cash cards.

Higher education may be the goal that student and parents are currently aiming
for, as evidenced by the annual university entrance exams and the expectations
placed on the results. However, some people argued that higher education is no
longer worth it. There have been examples of successful businessmen and
entreprenuer that forgo higher education such as Bill Gates. Personally, I
bellieve this is not a simple issue that can be viewed from only one perspective.
Firstly, we have to understand about success in life. The only thing that can
provide stable employment and sustain oneself is a job that require a high level
of intellectual capacity, as intellectual work is often rewarded much more than
ordinary labor. However, investing in developing the intellectual capacity
neccessary for high-paying jobs is not a simple task due to the knowledge
applied in higher level and broader job is much more extensive than general
knowledge, and not everyone has the mentality to acquire it. Most importantly,
what demonstate that an applicant can meet the needs of a bussiness the most is
higher education, it also provides the shortest path for learners to outline a clear
trajectory for developing their own capabilities, and a university degree serves
as evidence of learning and to some extend, the competance of the degree
holder . Let's pose a simple question: would any hospital hire an unqualified
doctor to treat patients? However, this may not be true when we look at other
fields such as art, which can be pursued through talent than relying on specific
professional like singing or drawing. Even if we consider booming industries
like information technology, which offer high salaries but can be learned
independently without going through traditional schooling or paying any tuition
fees. The field of information technology, which is known for its high salaries,
relies heavily on vast open-source resources and a large community that
frequently exchanges knowledge and shares extensive documentation. These are
the kinds of knowledge that even universities may not necessarily be able to
meet.
However, currently the tuition fee for higher education are very expensive , and
not everyone can afford it. Therefore, higher education is not the optimal choice
for everyone considering the financial burden it poses and the limitations it
imposes on access and opportunity.

Section 1.
Interviewer: OK, now I understand that the Park is involved in one or two
projects at the moment.
Wildlife park representative: That’s right. Since 1994, we’ve been working
with various partners to raise money and help co-ordinate something called
Project Life Lion. This project involves sending teams to villages which border
the Serengeti National Park in East Africa to vaccinate domestic dogs against
canine distemper virus (CDV) and rabies. In 1994 over one third of the
Serengeti lions died as a result of CDV, which had passed from domestic dogs
to the wild animal population [9]. In addition to that, we are currently taking
part in the Atlantic Rainforest Project and supporting the Community
Conservation Project.
Interviewer: So you’re obviously concerned about environmental issues.
Wildlife park representative: Yes, the Park continuously monitors its
environmental impact. To do that, we have our own independently-written
Environmental Management System, which is now being used as a model by
other organizations across the UK so that they can establish their own [10].
Interviewer: Now, apart from the day-to-day business of visitors to the Park,
you also put on events, don’t you?
Wildlife park representative: Yes, the Park is a venue for all manner of
corporate events, such as product launches, team-building, special events,
barbecues – the list is endless [11]. And we play host to many charity and fund-
raising events each year. For them, we are happy to help with discounted tickets
and competition prizes [12].
Interviewer: Now, tell me about the Centre for Television and Radio Training.
I gather you’re connected with that.
Wildlife park representative: Yes, it’s our sister company. If you’ve always
dreamed of being a radio presenter, we offer you the opportunity to take the first
steps [13]. The Centre has a range of courses from a one-day experience to a
five-day full-time course which leads to your own two hour show on our own
station, Paradise FM. The courses take place at our studio complex.
Interviewer: Wow, that sounds great. Now, back to animals, which is after all
what the Park is really all about. One thing that I see you run is something
called Adopt an Animal. Tell me about that.
 7

Wildlife park representative: Yes, adopting an animal is a great way to mark a

special occasion, for yourself or for a friend or loved one. All our animals are
available for adoption, and to ensure that they’re all affordable, whatever their
size, adoptions are available in shared units of £50 and last for 12 months. If
you adopt an animal, you receive a certificate, a photograph of and information
about your chosen animal, and a complimentary ticket for two people to the
Park [14].
Interviewer: Now, talking of tickets, people can get season tickets for the Park,
can’t they?
Wildlife park representative: That’s right. Our season tickets are very popular
and extremely good value for money. If you visit us more than five times during
the year, you will be saving money [15]. Season tickets are valid for 12 months
and allow unlimited access to the Park. And we can even take people’s
passport-sized photographs for them for the season ticket – free of charge.
Interviewer: But are you open all year?
Wildlife park representative: Yes, we’re open 365 days a year. With our
heated indoor play area, there is still lots of fun to be had even when the
weather is a bit chilly [16].
Interviewer: Now people can also take part in what you call Experience Days,
can’t they?
Wildlife park representative: Yes, the Experience Days are great to give
someone who is 12 or over as a gift. One of them is called Feed the Big Cats,
and gives people the opportunity to hand-feed the big cats for half an hour.
Another is called Walk With Our Wolves, during which people take a walk in
the woods with these impressive animals. And the other is called Shadow a
Keeper, and gives people a chance to become an animal keeper for a full
day [17].
Interviewer: Finally, if I wanted to work in the Park, what chance would I
have?
Wildlife park representative: Pretty good, right now! We have a number of
jobs available for enthusiastic people who are interested in customer-service
work, and we employ people from the ages of 16 to 60. And we also welcome
applications from adults seeking voluntary work [18].
Interviewer: I might apply. Thanks for talking to me today.
Wildlife park representative: You’re welcome.

Women are graduating from college at higher rates than ever before. Earning
more than half of bachelor’s degrees last year. Companies are increasingly
focused on the benefits of gender equality in the workplace. However, the
situation for women in the workplace is not changing fast enough.
Women make up 45% at entry level position across the workforce; which
decreases to 32% at management roles. At the top, women only make up
seventeen percent of the Csuite. At the current rate of progress, it would be one
hundred years before we see real equality in the C-suite. Contrary to popular
belief, women are leaving organisations at the same rate as men. However,
women are less eager to become a top executive citing stress and pressure as the
key deterrents.
Most women see barriers to advancement and feel they have fewer
opportunities to advance due to their gender. While 74% of companies claim
gender equality is a priority for their CEO, less than half of the employees
believe it. And only one-third feel it is a top priority for their direct manager.
More than 90% of women and men believe taking extended family leave will
hurt their career. So while programs widely exist, participation is low.
This inequality even extends to the home. 41 % of working women report doing
more childcare than men, 30% report doing more chores but this does not need
to be our reality while these facts are a wake-up call we can affect real change.
Here are five key actions companies can take.
1)Track key metrics to understand the problem: you cannot change why you
cannot see. 2)Demonstrate that gender equality is a top priority: employees must
believe that their leaders want change.
3)Identify and interrupt gender bias : we all have unconscious biases to
overcome.
4)Rethink work: redefine what successful careers look like.
5)Create a level playing field: make sure opportunities and advancement are
equitable. It is up to all of us to take action, to speed the process of gender
equality so everyone benefits, individuals, organisation and society. To learn

A talk from a member of the conservation Society about 'green cleaning' Good
morning everyone. It's a pleasure to be here as a representative of the
Conservation Society, to talk to you about "Green Cleaning", in other words
about ways you can help to save the environment at the same time as saving
money.
I'll start with saving money - as we're all interested in that, especially students
who are living on a tight budget. Probably none of you has sat down and
calculated how much you spend on cleaning products each year everything from
 9

dishwashing detergent, window cleaners and so on through to shampoos and

conditioners for your hair, and then those disasters products to get stains out of
carpets, or to rescue burnt saucepans. I can see some nods of agreement, even if
you don't spend a lot of time on housework you'd end up spending quite a lot of
money over a period of time, wouldn't you? We can save money on products
and also use products which are cheap, biodegradable and harmless to the
environment - these I will call 'green' products. Unfortunately most cleaning
products on sale commercially are none of these, and many of our waterways
and oceans are polluted with bleach, dioxins, phosphates and artificial
colourings and perfumes. Also think how many plastic bottles each household
throws away over a year -they'll still be around in land-fill when you are
grandparents! So we often feel there's nothing we can do to make a difference,
but we can. The actual 'recipes' are on handouts you can take at the end of the
talk: The sorts of ingredients I'm referring to are things like bicarbonate of soda,
eucalyptus oil, ammonia, vinegar, lemons, pure soap. Lastly many people find
they're allergic to modem products, so for all you asthma sufferers keep
listening. Nothing in these recipes should cause you any problems, an end to
itching and wheezing!
So let’s start with spills and stains. Soda water is wonderful as an immediate
stain remover: mop up the excess spill don't rub but apply soda water
immediately - it's great for tea coffee wine beer and milk - as is salt or
bicarbonate of soda, which will absorb the stain - then vacuum when dry and
shampoo if necessary.
While we are talking about disasters lets quickly look at some others that can be
avoided. Bicarbonate of soda is wonderful for removing smells, especially in
the fridge - an open box in the fridge will eliminate smells for up to three
months. And those terrible burnt saucepans? Either sprinkle with our good
friend bicarb again and leave it to stand, or cover with vinegar and a layer of
cooking salt.
Bring it to the boil and simmer for ten minutes, then wash when cool. Much
cheaper than a new saucepan! Then there are heat rings on wooden furniture.
Simply rub with a mixture of salt and olive oil, or for scratched furniture use
olive oil and vinegar. Now let's look at general cleaning - first the floors. If your
floor covering is made of slate, cork or ceramic tiles or lino it probably only
needs a mop or a scrub with vinegar in a bucket of water. Carpets can be
shampooed using a combination of pure soap washing soda, cloudy ammonia
and some boiling water. You put a small amount of this mixture onto the mark
on the carpet, rub with a cloth until it lathers and then wipe off the excess. A
smelly carpet can be deodorized by sprinkling bicarbonate of soda on the
surface, leaving overnight and vacuuming off the next day. Cleaning in the
kitchen, bathroom and toilet is the next section....

Section 4
Int: Today I’m with the much-loved comedian and writer Jane Clarkson.
Obviously Jane, this year has been quite a turning point for you ...
Jane: Well, I’ll never stop doing comedy, but there were practical reasons for
wanting to take some time off and write a book. I felt my daughter had been
neglected. She was just about to make the tricky transition from primary to
secondary school and I thought she needed her mum around. I seem to have
spent most of her life in a van touring from venue to venue for my comedy act.
And I did enjoy being at home for a bit, although I missed the applause and the
laughter. When I finished writing in the evening, I’d turn the computer off and
there’d be nothing, which was hard to get used to.
Int: How was your novel received?
Jane: Well, a lot of male comedians had written books, so there was a bit of a
bandwagon waiting to be jumped on, but with my impeccable timing I jumped
slightly late, when everyone was starting to get heartily sick of comedians’
books. Also there’s a kind of fury coming from some journalists about comics
writing books. They’re absolutely livid, as if they see your book in a bookshop
and they jump up and down, shouting, ‘It’s not fair! Why should she make
money out of writing as well as performing?’
Int: Was it a difficult transition?
Jane: Well, if you think logically, writing is the obvious step. I’ve spent years
trying to make people listen to my anecdotes, so that must count for something!
Also, if you’ve been an observational comedian, which I am, it’s not a great
leap to use those skills you’ve developed, like observing odd mannerisms to use
for jokes, and turn them into a book. At least that’s what I felt, but you don’t
become a writer instantly. I’ll have to wait and see whether it was just
beginners’ luck.
Int: I think why people give you a hard time about the novel is surely because
we’re so trapped into thinking Jane Clarkson is a comedian. It’s as though, you
know, you can’t do anything else, which is quite ridiculous because you’ve been
writing radio comedy for years.
Jane: Yes, people do become obsessed about what you are. The character I
adopted for my comedy act became rather a burden after a while. When I started
going on stage alone, I was very young and I wasn’t entirely convincing as a
comedian because nervous young women on stage actually frighten audiences.
They’re convinced you’re going to fail and burst into tears, which will be very
embarrassing. So there’s a palpable tension in the room and some audiences
actually boo the female comedians off the stage.
Int: How did you deal with that?
 11

Jane: Well, I had to counteract that stereotype so I started coming on shouting

and being madder and crosser than any audience could ever be and that defused
the tension. In fact, I rather overdid it and my character got cruder than I ever
really intended. I got so good at it that people got confused between the
everyday Jane and the stage Jane.
Int: What attracted you in the first place to performing, and particularly to
making people laugh?
Jane: Oh, from an early age, I knew I wanted to be an actress. I innocently
thought I was going to be a glamorous film star. The reason I started to do
comedy acts was that in the 1980s a lot of small provincial theatres closed
down. In the past, girls would’ve come out of drama school and if they had a
leaning towards comedy they’d join one of these small theatres and play a
variety of comedy roles in all sorts of plays from Shakespeare to contemporary
stuff. All of a sudden, with the demise of these theatres, rooms above pubs
opened up and comedians started telling jokes and developing their acts there. It
was cheap, one performer one microphone, and anyone could do it. In some
ways, it’s a healthier performance art than acting, because with acting you’re at
the mercy of everybody else deciding whether you can work or not. With stand-
up comedy, you might only get paid peanutsbut nobody can stop you from just
driving to a venue, often hundreds of miles in terrible weather, and going on
stage.
Int: But what is it when you’re actually on stage … [fade]
