Read the text about a change of attitude towards wind farms in Britain, then choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for questions 1– 7. Put a cross () in the correct box on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you

Strong headwinds

Nearly half of all onshore wind farms in England and Wales are being refused planning permission, figures reveal. The percentage of such developments being refused planning permission has risen sharply over the last five years.

According to data obtained by law firm McGrigors, in 2005 29 per cent were turned down by planners – rising to 33 per cent in 2009 and 48 per cent last year.

The increase in objections is partly the result of the volume of wind turbine applications being proposed by energy companies. Under European climate change targets, around a third of all Britain's electricity will have to be generated by renewable energy sources by 2020. The majority of that green power will come from 10,000 new wind turbines at sea and on land.

But according to McGrigors, 32 out of 66 applications for onshore wind farms were rejected in 2010. Britain has 305 onshore wind farms and 3,360 turbines.

McGrigors, a leading commercial law firm which represents wind farm developers, claims energy companies will become increasingly frustrated with local planners refusing to give the go-ahead to money-spinning turbines.

However, Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, which is sceptical of the Government's climate-change policy, including its plans for building wind farms, said: 'The public backlash against wind farms is not surprising.

'It is the inevitable and inexorable consequence of a costly, unpopular and completely pointless policy that is butchering Britain's green and pleasant landscape without having any effect on the climate. These green projects are only viable because of multi-million subsidies supporting a few hundred wealthy landowners and a handful of energy companies.

'By opposing wind farms, a growing number of neighbourhoods and communities are protecting both their local environments and their purses from blind exploitation.'

Jacqueline Harris, a partner at McGrigors, said wind farm developers believe they are not getting a 'balanced hearing' at local level. She said: 'The feeling is that local authorities are too often prioritising local concerns. There is little willingness to consider the benefits of renewable energy generation in context.'

She added: 'Objections based around the visual impact of wind turbines are overriding the wider need to deliver energy security and mitigate the impact of climate change. The visual impact of wind turbines is a common complaint and often successful grounds for objection.

'This applies even where the benefits of the development greatly outweigh the downsides to a small but vocal minority. Even single turbines, which can generate enough electricity for a few thousand houses, are being rejected because of the visual impact on a handful of properties.'

The Government's Localism Bill – which gives more power to local communities over planning decisions – could make it even more difficult for the wind farm developers to push through planning permission. According to Mr Peiser, the Bill has 'helped to empower individuals, councils and communities to oppose and halt wind farms.'

A spokesman for Renewables UK, which represents the wind farm industry, claimed: 'Wind farms bring real economic benefits to local communities. Every refused wind farm planning application is a missed opportunity to secure employment and business benefits at a local level, and further deliver on our energy security and climate change targets.'

Read the summary of a report on a dangerous procedure used in the production of jeans. Answer the questions (1– 6) using a maximum of 4 words. Write your answers in the spaces provided on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you.

Deadly denim

Sandblasting has become the key method for finishing most modern jeans requiring that ‘worn-out’ look. Under the sandblasting process the denim is smoothed, shaped and cleaned by forcing abrasive particles across it at high speeds. The process is fast and cheap, and demand for pre-worn denim has led to a massive rise in its use. But this fashion comes at a price: the health and even the lives of sandblasting workers.

There are two types of sandblasting processes: manual sandblasting and mechanical sandblasting. Both can be deadly. In manual sandblasting, compressors are used to blow out sand under pressure through a gun in order to bleach and batter the denim. This process is done in the absence of sealed blasting cabinets and ventilation, exposing the operators directly to silica particles (tiny particles of blasted sand) that are released from the guns. This silica dust, if inhaled, can cause severe respiratory problems in workers. In cases of intense or long-term exposure, it may even lead to the contraction of fatal diseases such as silicosis and lung cancer.

Although the most common form of sandblasting is manual blasting, sandblasting can also be performed mechanically in blasting cabinets, where the process is supposed to be more controlled. However, this report shows that mechanical sandblasting as done in Bangladesh actually continues to expose workers to silica dust. Our research found that mechanical sandblasting is largely carried out in unsealed environments with little protection for workers, using inadequate safety equipment. As a result, the use of this technique continues to expose workers to potentially fatal risk.

After the imposition of strict regulations on sandblasting in many European countries, the clothing industry largely outsourced production to as yet unregulated regions such as Turkey, Bangladesh, and China. It was in Turkey that the negative health effects of this process in the garment industry were recognised, with Turkish doctors being the first to sound the alarm over silicosis amongst garment sandblasters. In 2005 the first major study to link sandblasting jeans with silicosis was published.

Since Turkey implemented a ban on sandblasting in 2009, pressure on brands to stop using manual sandblasting has increased. In autumn 2010 the Killer Jeans campaign was launched, adding to the public call for the abolition of the practice from the industry and many brands

announced a voluntary ban on sandblasting. Yet few if any brands have provided clear information on how these bans are being implemented and no brand has yet agreed to take responsibility for identifying and treating affected workers in their supply chain.

Our study interviewed 73 workers in seven factories and conducted numerous qualitative interviews with experts in the industry. Just under half of the interviewees recognized the logos of brands shown to them as being manufactured in the factories in which they worked. These brands included H&M, Levi’s, C&A, D&G, Esprit, Lee, Zara and Diesel, all of which, except D&G, claim to have banned sandblasting.

However, in general, the impact of the ban has been patchy, poorly monitored and widely circumvented, at least in the majority of factories we investigated.

For example, we discovered that regardless of whether a brand has ‘banned’ sandblasting or not, manual sandblasting still takes place, often at night to avoid detection. It is clear that sandblasting units are still open in most factories used by brands and retailers. In addition, smaller workshops reportedly still either only or predominately use manual sandblasting methods. Although it is possible to test for sandblasting, this is not covered in buyer/audit visits. Indeed, one manager interviewed believed buyers purposely do not test for sandblasting.

The failure of brands to change their designs or to increase production time to allow for suppliers to shift to the more labour-intensive and slower finishing techniques also helps perpetuate the use – sometimes clandestine and sometimes overt – of sandblasting.

The report also uncovered a pressing need to increase awareness of the health risks of sandblasting among workers.

Read the text about what happened after a radio program broadcast in 1938, then choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for questions 1–7. Put a cross () in the correct box on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you.

Radio program: War of the Worlds

The widespread panic caused by the first broadcast of War of the Worlds is well documented. Newspaper headlines point fingers at the radio drama for causing widespread panic, making countless people living in the areas named in the broadcast as invasion sites flee their homes in blind panic. It was mass hysteria unlike anything the United States had seen before that fateful night of October 31, 1938 … wasn’t it?

Newspapers were the Internet of the 1930s  … and just because it was in the newspapers doesn’t mean it was true. If they’re telling the truth, millions of people heard the broadcast; they tuned in well after the disclaimer that it was a work of fiction, changing the radio station only when another popular program had ended.

Unfortunately, as good a story as it is, it’s not true. There were no documented cases of people dropping dead from stress-related heart attacks, there were no actual traffic jams and car accidents, and there was no mass exodus from any of the locations named in the broadcast as the site of alien invasion.

C.E. Hooper was a ratings company, and on the night of the infamous broadcast they were calling hundreds of homes across America to see what they were listening to. Of the 5,000 homes surveyed, only about 2 percent of them were tuned in to War of the Worlds; this was largely because there was a hugely popular show on another station at the same time: The Chase and Sanborn Hour. Extrapolating that data, that still suggests that a very small percentage of the population was even listening, and that small percentage is made even smaller by a number of CBS affiliate stations pre-empting the broadcast in favor of other programming.

In fact, CBS was so concerned about the newspaper headlines that followed the broadcast

that they commissioned their own survey to see how many of their listeners were inconvenienced by the radio drama. The answer? Not many.

Fact-checking that followed some of the newspapers’ claims about people being injured or hospitalized proved the stories inaccurate. No deaths were ever reported from the mass panic and evacuations. In fact, in the published memoirs of the New York Daily News radio editor, he recalls how deadly quiet the streets were in New York City on the night of the broadcast—a far cry from the legendary thousands of people that supposedly took to the streets thinking that the aliens were coming.

So where did the myth come from?

Newspaper editors saw a brilliant way to take a stab at the growing competition—radio. Radio was the new, up-and-coming thing, and it was taking a big piece of advertising revenue away from print media. And more than that, they also saw a way to increase their sales. Who would pass by a newsstand without picking up the latest edition with more information on this widespread panic about a Martian invasion?

Most of the stories that were run came off the wire services, growing in scale and severity with each re-telling. Once the headlines were on newsstands across the country, more and more people were saying that they had tuned in, that they, too, had been frightened by the broadcast, and they’d thought it was real.

Apparently, many newspaper editors missed the irony of spreading these falsified stories to demonstrate what an unreliable news source the radio really was.

There are two extra parts that you should not use. Write your answers in the boxes provided on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you.

Food off the truck

Two seniors at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth have rolled out a startup venture that is providing other students with nutritious fare along with a side of basic entrepreneurial principles.

After more than a year of planning, obtaining financing and gaining regulatory approval, The Box, a food truck, recently started (0) ___ on the Dartmouth College campus. And judging by the lines at the food window, the venture appears to be (1) ___.

The food truck, which blossomed from a class project, was started by Eric Winn and Mike Parshley with help from other students, professors and a cadre of financial backers.

Along with providing food that hadn’t been available on campus or in Hanover before, the venture is designed to involve student workers, allowing them to gain the experience of (2) ___, particularly marketing and management, Winn said.

“With the help of Tuck students, undergraduates are getting the hands-on experience of running a real business, and we’re planning for this project to be ongoing after we leave. Although we want to make money and to give our investors a return on their money, our ultimate goal is to (3) ___ by being a lasting part of the community that inspires future student-led ventures,” he said.

“The Box is an accelerated course for both Tuck and undergraduate students in the life of a startup business,” said Tuck associate professor Steven J. Kahl, who was one of the instructors who worked with Winn and Parshley to make the project a reality.

“They have had the full startup experience from dealing with suppliers, (4) ___ with all the HR [Human Resources] stuff as well as the general management of the operation. They’re even having to plan for succession, something most startups don’t face in the first few years,” Kahl said.

! local governments = local authorities; fail to see = little willingness to consider; the bigger picture = the benefits […] in context

! Die anderen Antwortmöglichkeiten werden im Text nicht angesprochen.

2 5: C According to Jacqueline harris, wind turbines cause opposition mostly because they are unpleasant to look at.

! bill supporting local governments = Localism Bill; will make life harder = could make it even more difficult; planners = wind farm developers

! Die anderen Antwortmöglichkeiten werden im Text nicht angesprochen.

2 7: D Wind farms can help local communities by providing support for their economy.

‘Newspaper headlines point fingers at the radio drama for causing widespread panic, making countless people living in the areas named in the broadcast as invasion sites flee their homes in blind panic.’

! Man hat berichtet, die Ausstrahlung des Hörspiels ‘War oft the Worlds‘ hätte Massenpanik und Chaos ausgelöst.

! program = radio drama, broadcast; extensive fear and chaos = widespread panic, blind panic

! (C) mag vielleicht stimmen, wird im Text aber nicht erwähnt; (A) und (D) sind sicher falsch.

2 1: B After the broadcast, the print media wrote about a high audience rate.

‘Newspapers were the Internet of the 1930s … and just because it was in the newspapers doesn’t mean it was true. If they’re telling the truth, millions of people heard the broadcast […].‘

! Wenn es nach den Zeitungen von damals geht, hatten Millionen Menschen das Hörspiel verfolgt.

! a high audience rate = millions of people

! Keine der anderen Antwortmöglichkeiten stimmt mit dem Text überein.

2 2: C War of the Worlds caused little of what is claimed.

‘Unfortunately, as good a story as it is, it’s not true.

Task 1

AIR QUALITY IN CHINA (MULTIPLE CHOICE)

Lösung

0 1 2 3 4 5 6B C D A B C A

Erklärung zur Lösung

2 0: B China’s big towns are mostly covered in thick polluted fog.

‘Most of China‘s major cities are shrouded in smog. Like Lanzhou, they’re facing huge environmental strains, like the break-neck pace of urbanization.’

! Die meisten Großstädte in China liegen unter einer dicken Smogdecke.

! (D) stimmt vielleicht, wird aber so im Text nicht angesprochen. Für (A) und (C) gibt es keinen Hinweis im Text.

! China’s big towns = China’s major cities; covered in … fog = shrouded in smog

2 1: C The rapid growth of Chinese towns is brought about by internal migration of rural people.

‘China’s cities are absorbing a tidal wave of newcomers from the countryside, about 20 million a year. That means more roads, more cars, more steel, more smelters – more pollution.’

! Rund 20 Millionen Menschen ziehen jedes Jahr vom Land in die Städte Chinas. Das lässt die Städte sehr rasch wachsen und führt zu einer Vielzahl von Problemen.

! Für die anderen Antwortmöglichkeiten fehlt jeder Hinweis im Text.

! internal migration of rural people = wave of newcomers from the countryside

2 2: D In regard to health and the environment, China’s citizens are changing their minds.

‘It’s a reminder that China’s show-stopping economic rise has come at a huge cost to the environment. But analysts say attitudes are shifting. People are drawing a line, especially when it comes to their health.’

! Es gibt einen Meinungsumschwung in China betreffend Umwelt und Gesundheit.

! Die anderen Antwortmöglichkeiten werden im Hörtext nicht angesprochen.

! in regard to health = when it comes to their health; citizens are changing their minds = attitudes are shifting, people are drawing a line

2 3: A Patients who are old are advised to do physical activities indoors.

‘We advise the elderly to do exercise in a gym.’

! Ärzte raten älteren Menschen, wegen der Luftverschmutzung Sport nicht im Freien, sondern in einem Turnsaal oder Studio zu betreiben.

! (B) ist das Gegenteil des Gesagten; (C) und (D) werden im Text nicht erwähnt

! patients who are old = the elderly; to do physical activities = to exercise; indoors = in a gym

2 4: B The U.S. mission in the capital measured air pollutants to inform the internet community.

‘Two years ago, the U.S. embassy in Beijing began doing something the Chinese government refused to do: it posted air quality readings – from a monitor on its roof to Twitter. Eventually, the Chinese government gave in to public pressure and began publishing its own data.’

! Die amerikanische Botschaft in Beijing maß die Luftverschmutzung und verbreitete die Werte über Twitter.

! Keine der übrigen Antwortmöglichkeiten lässt sich durch den Hörtext belegen.

! the U.S. mission = the U.S. embassy; the capital = Beijing; measured air pollutants = air quality readings; the internet community = Twitter

2 5: C Tom Young runs a homepage to visualize environmental facts.

‘Tom Young is a biologist in Shanghai. But his hobby is to crunch the numbers on air pollution. He shows me his website, where he funnels public data into tidy graphs so that anyone can see.’

! Tom Young wandelt umweltrelevante Daten in Grafiken um, damit sie jeder sehen kann.

! Die anderen Antwortmöglichkeiten haben nichts mit dem Text zu tun.

! visualize environmental facts = funnels public data into tidy graphs

2 6: A Opposition by Chinese conservationists is increasing.

‘While he crunches the numbers, China’s environmentalists are getting bolder. There has been an uptick in massive protests over health risks related to industrial projects. Some have turned violent.‘

! Umweltgruppen leisten immer stärkeren Widerstand, der manchmal auch zu Gewalt führt.

! (B) stimmt vielleicht, wird aber so im Text nicht angesprochen. (A) und (C) stehen im Widerspruch zum Text.

! conservationists = environmentalists; opposition … is increasing = an uptick in massive protests

Lösung

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8G D F C A J B K I

2 0: G Research shows the Apple logo can increase mental activity.

‘A new study indicates that the logo on Apple products like iPods, iPhones, iMacs, stimulates your brain.‘

! Das Logo von Apple auf den verschiedenen Geräten regt laut der Studie das Gehirn an.

! research = a new study; increase mental activity = stimulates your brain

! Das Logo von Apple wirkte sich stärker auf die Kreativität der Testpersonen aus als das IBM-Logo.

! performed better = scored higher; in a certain area = on a creativity test

2 2: F The IBM logo makes people reflect on skills and abilities.

2 3: C The experts used logos to study people’s reactions.

‘You know, we showed people on the computer for very, very short durations, like 30 milliseconds, either the Apple logo or the IBM logo and then we looked at their behavior to see if, as you say, they hummed compositions or not.’

! Man zeigte den Versuchspersonen ganz kurz entweder das Apple-Logo oder das IBM-Logo und untersuchte anschließend ihre Reaktionen.

! people’s reactions = their bahavior

2 4: A The researchers did not talk to the firms in question.

‘But no, to ensure sort of the integrity of the project we’ve never actually even spoken to anyone at any of the companies whose logos we use.’

! Die Forscher hatten keinen Kontakt mit den Firmen, deren Logos sie untersuchten, um nicht die Glaubwürdigkeit der Studie zu gefährden.

! the firms in question = the companies whose logos we use

2 5: J We should focus on logos which remind us of something pleasant.

‘And then we should be strategically surrounding ourselves with logos that have associations that we find to be desirable.’

! Die Studienautoren finden, wir sollten uns mit Logos umgeben, die wir als angenehm empfinden.

! remind us of something pleasant = we find to be desirable

2 6: B If a logo boosts creativity, we will feel a bit better.

‘If every time you see an Apple logo you find yourself being more creative, you’re gonna be a little happier in all likelihood.’

! Es ist klar, dass man sich besser fühlt, wenn man das Gefühl hat, man wird kreativer, wenn man das Apple-Logo sieht.

! boosts creativity = find yourself … more creative; feel a bit better = be a little happier

2 7: K The feelings that logos create can strengthen commitment to a company.

‘We as consumers will start to pair the brand that we’re being exposed to with this increased happiness and that should, you know, result in some increase in loyalty from their customers, I would imagine, over time.’

! Man fühlt sich einer Marke stärker verbunden, wenn deren Logo positive Gefühle auslöst.

! strengthen commitment = increase in loyalty

2 8: I The research described in the interview can be found in a publication.

‘His study of the impact of logos appears in the April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.’

! Man kann das Ergebnis der Studie in der April-Ausgabe einer Fachzeitschrift nachlesen.

! research = study; found in a publication = April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research

Penny Junor: Happy and Glorious. In: Saga Magazine 06/2012, S. 325

1 10 P.

Read the text about the relationship between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William, her grandson. Some words are missing from the text. Choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for each gap (1–10) in the text. Put a cross () in the correct box on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you.

The Queen and William

The Queen and William have a very special relationship. In the months before the wedding, he

saw her every week and if their diaries (0) ___ a meeting, they had lengthy discussions on the

phone. She is the one (1) ___ he seeks. She is the one he looks to as a (2) ___ in life. He admires

her integrity and her modesty – also the way she (3) ___ her privacy – and like her, he does not

care for celebrity. He was just 15 when his mother died, and since then, Granny, as he calls

her, (4) ___ particularly important to him. When he was at Eton, he (5) ___ to nip over the river to

Windsor to have tea with her and there is a closeness, perhaps because of the generation gap,

that she has never had with his father. When William (6) ___ to New Zealand in February 2011,

after the earthquake that devastated Christchurch, and on to visit the victims of the floods in

Australia, he had a letter of congratulations from the Queen when he came back. The Prince

of Wales has almost never had praise from either of his parents. It’s not something the older

generations of the family go in for very much.

It is not just that she has a soft spot for William. He says of her that, “She’s my grandmother first

and then she’s the Queen.” She (7) ___ probably say of him that he is her grandson first but then

he is her heir. Her priorities were never more acutely demonstrated (8) ___ in the days after Diana

died when she resolutely stayed in Scotland to help both boys come to terms with their loss.

Rightly, some would say, she put their (9) ___ before that of the country that was baying for her

to show her face in London. She seemed to misjudge the mood and (10) ___ it seemed that the

future of the monarchy was in jeopardy. But the professional in her quickly reasserted itself and a

moving last-minute live television broadcast saved the day.

Read the text about the dream of becoming a U.S. citizen. Some words are missing. Choose the correct part (A–O) for each gap (1–12). There are two extra parts that you should not use. Write your answers in the boxes provided on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you.

Saving the American Dream

Although it has been nearly 30 years since I came to the United States to attend graduate school,

it was only a decade ago that I decided to become an American citizen. I hadn’t thought “(0) ___

American” would be meaningful or emotional, but it was. I had to turn in my Indian passport and

pledge allegiance to the United States, and I worried about (1) ___ a piece of my identity. Midway

through the process, I was ambivalent. But like generations of immigrants before me, I went

through the interview, (2) ___ the citizenship exam, and entered a majestic room—in my case,

Boston’s Faneuil Hall—to take the oath. Standing there, (3) ___ I was proud to be an American,

and that, (4) ___ my new commitment to the United States, I was never going to lose my Indian

heritage. This opportunity for newcomers to hold on to a piece of their (5) ___ while embracing

the promise of a better future as an American is, I’ve come to (6) ___, just one important attribute

of the (7) ___ of values we know as the American Dream.

As anyone who (8) ___ attention to the 2012 U.S. presidential race can attest, it’s a dream that

seems to be in great peril. “The American Dream is slipping away,” the historian Jon Meacham

wrote before last summer’s political conventions, calling this (9) ___ “the crisis of our time.” We’re

right to be (10) ___. The American Dream is the country’s most important asset, more valuable

than its extraordinary natural (11) ___, deep financial capacity, or unparalleled workforce. It’s

so valuable (12) ___ a narrative that continues to draw people here from other countries, and

it inspires those of us who are already here to work hard every day to better ourselves and our

children. To watch this powerful force deteriorate is troubling—and understanding what might be

done to stop the deterioration is imperative.

Read the text written by a student about cheating nowadays. Some words are missing. Complete the text by writing one word for each gap (1–9) in the spaces provided on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you.

Cheating in the digital age

My parents always tell me that when it comes to school, I have it a lot easier than they did.

When they (0) ___ college in the 80s, the encyclopedia was still the go-to source for academic

information, and your only tools in the classroom were a notebook, pen, and an open mind. This,

to (1) ___, is unimaginable. Today’s educational technology makes it a lot easier to learn, and a lot

easier to cut corners.

For many students, cheating in school has become the norm. As students come up with more

sophisticated and high-tech ways to cheat, teachers become better at spotting the scams – often

using their own digital tools. Let the cat-and-mouse game begin!

Though it is no (2) ___ that technological advancement has made cheating easier, it has actually

made catching cheaters easier as well. Many schools now require students to submit their work

through the anti-plagiarism site Turnitin.com, which sifts through thousands of essays, literary

works, and webpages to ensure that students create original work.

But as educators build up their anti-cheating arsenal, the cheaters find new ways to outsmart

their teachers. One of the most well-known and accessible cheating options is

noneedtostudy.com, a website that says it all in the title. For $ 900, the company (3) ___ to

take an entire online course for a student. Popular courses include organic chemistry, calculus,

finance, and nursing. Other websites like onlineclasshelpers.com provide test-taking, essay-

writing, and online class-taking for “working” and “extremely busy” students. Some universities

are experimenting with a new program called CourseSmart. It (4) ___ professors to track

students’ reading progress on their E-Readers, to check if someone is skipping pages, not

highlighting passages, or just not reading at (5) ___. This software and other tools, like panoramic

cameras and face-scanners at highly secure testing centers, are just a few of the high-tech

measures universities have adopted to (6) ___ cheating.

An unforgettable rush

The Kisaq, a comfortable 25-metre ship, navigates the fjords and takes us to the base of a

mountain situated in the middle of a vast icy wilderness, where the group loads the racks of

(0) ___ (equip) onto a helicopter on the beach. We (1) ___ (excite) explore the possibilities

amongst a collection of islands just off the coast. Although the pilots know the area, there is

always a (2) ___ (nerve) buzz in the first few minutes. The excitement grows as the loud roar

of the engines increases and the helicopter gently lifts off. The ride to the top of our first run is

spectacular, with the helicopter rising over the peaks, ridges, glaciers and cirques covered in

snow and dotted with rocks protruding above the pristine white landscape. At times we feel the

helicopter gently buffeting in the wind turbulence, but that is not unusual in these mountainous

regions.

We try to get a good view of the terrain and pick a good line down. Nearing the drop-off point,

everyone begins to feel the rush of adrenaline. After we land and (3) ___ (load) the racks, the

helicopter again lifts off and flies away, its rotors blowing the snow around us in all directions. That

instant when you are suddenly left alone in complete silence is one of the most (4) ___ (impress)

moments in heli-skiing, quite different from the slow approach of hiking up to the top. That

sudden change to an isolated peak with the most (5) ___ (credible) mountainscape beneath you

and the prospect of an exhilarating run down, can be better than the ride (6) ___ (it).

After a few minutes of taking in our (7) ___ (surround) we start to look at the best route to begin

our descent. Our minds switch from excitement mode to fear mode. We saw from the other side

of the valley and during the (8) ___ (fly) up that the slope is over 50 degrees, a realisation that

(9) ____ (define) gets the adrenaline pumping and makes us focus on not making any mistakes.

In Greenland, a ride down may be as long as 2,000 metres and it is even possible to finish on the

beach at sea level.

OPINION ESSAY

StEP 1: BrAINStOrm YOur IdEAS

Examine (weigh up the arguments) what would happen if all students went to university. What do you think about everyone going on to study, regardless of how well or badly they did in their final year? Students who just passed now being able to study Medicine or Law? If there is no pressure to get good grades at school in order to get into university, will students still try so hard?

Consider what would happen to the universities if all students were to start studying. Too many students, not enough places in the lecture rooms, people jamming the corridors, no books in the library, cafeteria over-flowing, toilets always occupied … Can you think of anything else?

Speculate (guess) what would happen to society if everyone could go to university. How would society change? Would there be fewer people unemployed? What are your ideas?

Remember to give your essay a title. You can do this at the start or after you have written your essay.

StEP 2: WrItE AN OPINION ESSAY

(a) Sample essay – HOW NOt to do it

Everybody should go to university if they want to!

A few days ago1 I stumbled upon2 this essay

competition from the University of Cambridge

about the idea that a university education is a

basic right for all upper secondary school

leavers. There are lots of people that really want

to go to university, but in many places around

the world they can’t3 go because there is nu-

merus clausus4 or you have to pay money and

many people can’t3 afford it5. In my opinion,

when you graduate from high school you should

go6 to the7 university and study what you want.

Firstly, it hasn’t3 been reported what auto-

matic admission would do8 to students but I

think it would be like a situation in Austria

here9. At the moment most courses are free for

all the students which10 pass the Matura11

but the really popular courses now have tests

to get in12, like medicine. This is because the

majority of students come from Germany, and

1: ago = das Komma nach ago fehlt ! A few days ago, …

2: I stumbled upon = Ausdruck, Wortwahl ! I came across

3: can’t / hasn’t / aren‘t / there’s = Ausdruck; keine short forms in einem förmlichen Text

4: numerus clausus = ein im Englischen unbekannter Ausdruck! ! a limit on numbers / entrance scores

5: it = ungenau, Ausdruck ! cannot afford the fees

6: you should go = irreführend, Ausdruck ! you should BE ABLE to go

7: the = Grammatik; kein Artikel ! go to university

8: what automatic admission would do = Formulierung, Ausdruck

! Besser: what the effect of automatic admission would be on students

9: like a situation in Austria here = Ausdruck, Formulie-rung ! like the situation here in Austria

10: which = Grammatik, Wortwahl ! who / that11: pass the Matura = Wortwahl „Matura“ muss erklärt

12: tests to get in = Ausdruck, Wortwahl ! entrance exams / admission tests

there aren’t3 places enough13. But it was only

the Austrian students you won’t need an

exam because the Matura is a big exam14.

Secondly, if universities let everyone in15 it

will really full and crambed16 and there’s3,17

no space. Also18 the students may have no dis-

cipline because there are no rules in a univer-

sity and people can start fighting, so the at-

mosphere won’t3 be good for the students19.

Some people will leave, but universities will

need to say when, like20 after a semester. The

universities will have to build big rooms21 for

the first year students so that they can all fit22.

After the first year it isn’t5 so bad because you

study different subjects23.

Lastly, if everybody goes to university, it will

help young people get off the streets. They can

try it out and if they still don’t5 like it they can

leave the7 university. More people can also see

how hard it really is at the7 university. The pro-

fessors won’t5,24 be so high-nosed25 because

he only teaches a special class26 with only 5

students.

In conclusion27 I want to say that when you

finish your Matura,11 you should go to univer-

sity if that is what you want to do. (*) There are

of course some people which10 do not want to

go to university, so that is ok28. After about the

first semester the7 people will know what they

want to do so they might leave the university.

To go to the7 university and see what it’s5 like

is a basic human right!

13: places enough = Word order ! enough places

14: But it was … a big exam. = Das ist nicht verständlich formuliert!

! Besser: If it was only for Austrian students, there would not have to be an exam because the ‘Matu-ra’ is a big exam already.

(b) Sample article – HOW to do it

If you finish high school, you should have the chance to go to University!

Nowadays, schools are very different compared

to twenty years ago. We have a lot of technolo-

gy which helps us and there are more subjects

at school, but all this also puts more pressure

on the students. In Austria, to complete the

school leaving certificate, called the Matura,

you have to write a pre-scientific paper, give a

presentation, and take 7 exams, whether writ-

ten or oral. In my opinion, if you can pass the

Matura, you should be allowed to choose where

and what you want to study.

To begin with, most people think that if all stu-

dents who pass their final year exams have

automatic entry into university, there would be

a ‘student stampede’. This is the wrong impres-

sion because if students know that they can

study what they want without any pressures,

they would choose a course they would be in-

terested in. For example, Medicine is popular

only because it is difficult to get into. Many

students who finish high school with very good

grades think they have to study Medicine

because they are smart and after a year or so,

when their studies become difficult, they

realise that it is not for them. Furthermore,

nobody can say that just because you had

straight A’s, you would be a better doctor com-

pared to someone who had worse grades.

Moreover, universities will need more funding in

order to deal with the new system. They would

need to build large lecture rooms for the first-

year students. After a year, most students will be

able to decide if they want to keep studying,

change courses or simply quit. A problem could

be that some students might not cope with the

rush at the beginning and drop out.

Finally, by providing all high school leavers the

opportunity to go to university, it would take

many young people off the streets and give

them a purpose. Rather than just sitting at

home because young people often simply do

not know what to do, they can go to university

classes and experience university life. This

might motivate some to either keep studying or

to decide to leave and find a job.

All in all, if students can pass their final-year

exams at high school, they have proven them-

selves to be capable of going to university. By

giving everyone the chance to go to university,

students can choose the course they want to

study without any pressure and enjoy their

time at university.

Contrast the preferences: in other words, interpret the graph in words. 2 Over 70% of the 16-year-olds say that their main social activity is shopping.

2 This is followed by just under 70% for English cooking classes.

2 In contrast, the majority of 12-year-olds, at 71%, are interested in doing sports, followed by sightseeing at just over 60%.

2 In comparison, only about 21% of 16-year-olds preferred sports and only about 24% of 12-year-olds preferred shopping.

Discuss (talk about) some of the reasons for the results: YOU have to make up these reasons! Why is it so? Why do 16-year-olds prefer shopping to sports? Is it because they are older and do not want to use so much energy? Why do the older students prefer cooking classes? Is it because they know that cooking is a social activity? What else can you think of?

Make recommendations (suggest) other suitable activities: What would you like to do at a language school? Watch movies in the original language? Go on a scavenger hunt? Play board games? Etc.

Subject: Social Activities

Introduction

In this report I’ll1 present the finding out2 of a

survey from my school. It is about what we like

to do in our free time3. The survey was with4

12-year-olds and 16-year-olds.

The preferences

There is5 some interesting differences between

what the 16-year-olds like to do in their free

time and what the 12-year-olds like to do. For

example, 12-year-olds love doing sports, but

not the 16-year-olds. The 16-year-olds love

shopping and english6 cooking classes. The7

sightseeing is interesting for 12-year-olds (*)

because they probably haven’t1 travelled alot,8

but the 16-year-olds don’t1 find it so interest-

ing9.

(b) Sample report – HOW to do it

The reasons

The 12-year-olds really like sport because

they’re1 still young and fit. The most10 of them

play in a club and they’ve1 got friends their,11

but for 16-year-olds this is much12 different

because you are more busy13 with school and

homeworks14 so there isn’t1 time left to do lots

of sports. That is why 12-year-olds don’t1 like

shopping because they usually go with there15

mums, but when you’re1 16 you go with friends

and it’s1 really fun16.

Recommendations

Some17 additional activities can be to go18 to

a language café or even making19 a café at the

school with the good English speakers learn-

ing20 the younger ones. Another idea is to have

a film or movie night. We can buy some snack

food21 and eat them too.

Subject: Report on which social activities are

preferred by students.

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to summarise the

findings of which social activities students pre-

fer to do in their free time. The survey, for 12-

and 16 -year-olds, was carried out at my school.

The Preferences

As the results show, over 70% of the 16-year-

olds say that their main social activity is shop-

ping. This is followed by just under 70% for Eng-

lish cooking classes. In contrast, the majority of

12-year-olds, at 71%, are interested in doing

sports, followed by sightseeing at just over 60%.

In comparison, only about 21% of 16-year-olds

preferred sports and only about 24% of 12-year-

olds preferred shopping.

Reasons for the Results

According to the results, 16-year-olds and

12-year-olds have very different interests. Most

12-year-olds are interested in sightseeing as

they probably have not travelled as much as the

16-year-olds. For 16-year-olds, they prefer less

physical activities and can see shopping as a

social activity with friends rather than a chore

with their parents.

Recommendations

Some possible ideas for additional social activi-

ties would be to organise a language café with

all the students or even a film night, where the

film is shown in English without subtitles. An-

other idea would be to have a theatre produc-

tion as students of all ages can be involved.

Conclusion

Therefore, based on the results of the survey, it

would be best if the language school’s pro-

gramme offered a variety of social activities,

some specifically for the younger or older stu-

dents and some which all age groups can do

together.

Dressing for successby Andrea Milnes

Sept 12

Would people buy an expensive piece of jewellery or order a six-course luxury dinner from a woman with green hair and worn-out jeans? I don’t think so. That's why I wear a suit to work every day. My jeans can wait until my day off.

Share your thoughts on workplace dress codes in the comments section.

You have decided to comment on this blog entry. In your comment you should:

�� give reasons why some people may not like dress codes �� explain how businesses can benefit from dress codes�� suggest what companies should do if employees break the dress code

Summarize the complaints: You should brainstorm a list of about 3 realistic complaints; for example, prob-lems with the delivery (it takes too long, or the products did not arrive, or the wrong products were delivered), problems with the quality (the products broke after a week, or the products could not be put together); etc.

Give for these complaints: Once again, these must be realistic reason; for example, problems with communi-cation, problems with the postal service or private delivery company. Can you think of anything else?

Suggest (recommend) how these problems can be solved: What can the company do to fix these problems? For example, produce in Europe again, have a company representative live in India, employ an international delivery company, etc.

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to summarize the

complaints we have had from our customers

about the delivery and quality of our furniture.

These have started since we outsourced our

production to India.

Summary of Complaints

Firstly, the complaints about delivery include

orders taking a long time to arrive, orders being

delivered to the wrong address and in some ex-

treme cases, orders not arriving at all. In terms

of furniture quality, the complaints include

that the products are of poor quality, that peo-

ple cannot build them as parts have been badly

cut and, quite often, are missing. Lastly, when

customers ring up to complain, their calls go

unanswered.

Reasons for the Complaints

Customer complaints have started ever since

we began outsourcing our furniture produc-

tion to India. It is possible that there are cultur-

al and language problems which play a part in

most of the complaints. Further, the postal sys-

tem in India is very unreliable and problematic.

Possible Solutions

Possible suggestions to solve these problems

would be firstly, to send over a representative of

our company to India to handle all the orders

coming from Europe. Secondly, we should em-

ploy staff who can speak English and German.

A last measure could be that we leave India and

look for another production site in Europe.

Conclusion

Therefore, if we do not address these com-

plaints and work on the possible solutions, our

company’s turnover, as well as our reputation,

will be affected greatly.

Describe the main features of the website at present: Think about what the website and homepage are like at the moment. Most websites have a homepage, contacts, links, photos, videos, news, services (e.g. a calendar), moodle, electronic class register, advertisements, etc. Which of these are functioning? Which of these are appropriate for a website?

Outline (explain) your opinion of the website: What do you think of the website as it is at the moment? Is it working properly? Do you think it is an easy website to navigate? What are the advantages (positives) and disadvantages (negatives)? Some ideas could be: homepage takes too long to upload, wrong information or not up-to-date, etc. Can you think of anything else?

Suggest (recommend) important features (ideas, functions) for the new website: What should the NEW web-site have? For example, it should be easy to navigate, it should have up-to-date information, the website de-sign has to be appealing, etc.

(b) Sample report – HOW to do it

Personal experiences

At the moment the website isn’t10 working

optimally11. The homepage is taking12 a long

time to upload and its7 hard to navigate and

find what area13 you need. There is also wrong

or really old information in14 the website, so

the person15 doesn’t10 put up-to-date infor-

mation on the website, which is really bad.

After the skiing trip last year we waited for two

months for the official photos.

Features for the new website

The really important thing we need for our new

website is to have up-to-date information and

for the other people16 to find the information

fast. Another very important feature the stu-

dents want is that the website is compatible

with all types of smartphones.

Conclusion

All in all17 a new website is really important for

our school because the18 technical school

needs a good website.

make some suggestions which are vital for the

new website.

Features of the Existing Website

Our current website is functional, with the ba-

sics including a homepage, links, contacts,

moodle and electronic class registers, photos

and videos, news, services and advertisements

from companies which have sponsored pro-

jects or workshops at our school.

Personal Experiences with the Website

My personal experiences as a user of this web-

site have been mixed. When I started at the

school, the website worked much better, but

the demands were not as high. Our expecta-

tions of a website have changed a lot. For exam-

ple, the homepage takes too long to load, and it

is difficult to navigate through all the options.

The information is either out-of-date or it is

wrong. Moreover, the advertisements from our

sponsors are distracting as there are too many

of them.

Important Features for the New Website

The most important features which the new

website should have are a user-friendly web de-

sign and up-to-date information about the

school, and finally and most importantly, it has

to be compatible with all smartphones.

Conclusion

All in all, the existing website has served our

school well for close to 20 years, but it is time

for a change. This change means a new website,

and the company designing it should take into

account the students’ requests to produce a us-

er-friendly and up-to-date site.

task 1 HuM

StEP 1: BrAINStOrm YOur IdEAS

Inform (tell) your manager about the problems: Look at the notes given in the task. The task lists three problems – late deliveries, wrong orders and lower quality.

Explain how these problems have consequences for the business: For each of the above problems, try to explain a little more about these points. For example, late deliveries mean that certain products have not arrived at the restaurant in time to prepare certain dishes; or the quality in the products have gone down and your restaurant depends on fresh products, etc. Can you think of anything else?

Recommend (suggest) possible measures to improve the situation: Again, look at the notes given in the task. The task lists three measures which you can implement – discount, contract conditions and new supplier. Try to explain how you would like each measure to be carried out. For example, if Veg Galore do not improve, the restaurant should receive a discount of 25% on the products; or new contract details need to be worked out, etc.

The problems with Veg Galore

There are lots of problems with our fruit and

are late and that is really bad for a restaurant

the fruit and vegetables to be fresh because11

that is what our customers want. Our regu-

lers12 had said13 that the fruit is looking and

tasting old14 and that they don’t come15 if it

happens again. This is really bad because we

do16 really good breakfasts with fresh fruit.

Possible measures

How can we fix this problem17? I think we

need to talk to the boss of Veg Galore and say

to18 him the problems. We can get a discount

for the next month on the fruit and vegetables.

If this isn’t working4,19, we need to work out a

new contract or maybe we need to20 find a

new supplyer2 that bring the stuff to us bet-

ter21.

Conclusion

I don’t know4,22 what’s4 wrong with Veg Ga-

lore but it’s4 not good for our business, so we

need to find a new bringer23 of fruit and

Recent Problems

The problems we are having with Veg Galore is

that they are delivering their products later and

later. Next, when the products are finally deliv-

ered, they have actually been sent to the wrong

restaurants. The worst part of it all is that the

quality of the fruit and vegetables has gone

down but the prices have gone the opposite

direction.

How do the Problems Affect Business?

All of the problems listed above have had a

disastrous effect on our restaurant businesses.

Many of our regular customers have noticed

the decrease in the quality of the fruit and veg-

etables and have not returned. Sales have

declined rapidly. Also, we cannot serve some of

our advertised daily specials as the ingredients

were delivered far too late for our cooks to start

preparing in time for the lunchtime rush.

Recommendations

Possible measures to improve the situation

would be for the head-of-department to speak

to Veg Galore directly and re-negotiate a new

contract which should include discounts. If

this does not work, we will have to look for a

new and more reliable supplier.

Conclusion

Therefore, if we do not address these problems

and work on the possible solutions, our restau-

rant’s turnover, as well as our reputation, will

be seriously affected.

For example, your company takes care of (deals with) the paperwork like visas, it selects homestay families, it finds appropriate schools and workplaces, and it handles any complaints. Can you think of anything else?

Argue to the readers why having good language skills is necessary for their future: What are the advantages (positives) of being able to speak another language? For example, you are flexible with where you work, you can communicate with different people, etc.

Convince (win-over) the readers why your company’s program has so many benefits: Why is your company better than the others? For example, the customers receive personal attention, or your company has a wealth of experience and a good reputation, it has many contacts and can cater for different tastes.

StEP 1: BrAINStOrm YOur IdEAS

Give some (realistic) reasons as to why there are people who do not like dress codes. If you had to follow a dress code, what would be some of the reasons why you would hate it? For example, clothes are a reflection of your personality, it is a freedom of choice what you wear and when you wear it, it restricts your individua-lity, etc. Can you think of anything else?

Explain why it would benefit a business if there were a dress code: Why do some companies or businesses have dress codes? What are the advantages? For example, with the police or fire-fighters everyone can recognise them and their clothing is protective. Also, lawyers want to present a professional image and this is achieved when everyone wears a suit, etc. Do you have any other ideas?

Suggest (recommend) what kinds of (realistic) consequences a company could implement if an employee breaks the dress code. For example, a warning system where the employee needs to be warned three times and then they are dismissed; or the company can have a ‘casual day’ once a week or month, etc. Can you think of anything else?

Hey1 Andrea

I don’t know what to say to your blog because

do you wear2 a suit to work every day because

you work in a3 office? I mean, that’s normal.

But if you’re a3 alternative person and you work

in a clothing shop then to having4 green hair

and worn-out jeans is ok5.

It’s weird6 if a company makes7 a dress code.

It’s a8 freedom of choice to wear what you like.

IIt’s like showing your personality with your

clothes and if your personality is that it likes

suits9 then you should where it10. I think if you

want a dress code you can go and work in the

army11 or the polizei12 because you always

have to wear the same13.

Hi Andrea,

I just read your blog about ‘dressing for success’

and my opinion is that what you wear should

match or fit in with the place or situation you are

in. You need to be adaptable. Nobody would

wear a swimsuit to work unless they were a life-

guard. I’m sure that a woman with green hair

and worn-out jeans won’t work in a luxury res-

taurant.

Most people would say that clothes reflect your

personality. It’s the freedom of choice, being

able to wear what you want and when you want

it, and not being restricted in any way. For some

people, these issues are very important and

that’s why they’ll probably choose jobs which

don’t have a dress code.

There are several reasons for businesses to have

a dress code. Firstly, some businesses such as

supermarkets or airlines have uniforms so that

people can tell the difference between who is

working at the business and who is the custom-

er. Secondly, other businesses, like law firms,

want to present a professional and business-like

atmosphere and this is achieved by wearing

suits.

If a company does have a dress code and the

employees knew about it when they applied for

the job, then there has to be a range of meas-

ures. To begin with, the company should hand

out warnings, and if this does not help, then the

employee must be fired.

All in all, most people choose their careers for

many reasons and one part is what they will

wear on the job. If they want to wear suits every

day they might become lawyers, and if they

want to wear fashionable clothes, they might

become bloggers.(268 words)

TASK 1

AIR QUALITY IN CHINA (3:40’)

SP … Speaker (Ruth morris)

SP: Lanzhou sits in a valley, so there is little airflow to carry pollutants away. But a big part of the problem is manmade. The area is home to petrochemical plants, coal mines and heavy industry, and Lanzhou is hardly an anomaly. most of china’s major cities are shrouded in smog. Like Lanzhou, they are facing huge environ-mental strains, like the breakneck pace of urbanization. (sound of machinery)

I asked a worker at this Lanzhou construction site what they were building. (man speaking chinese) he said, I’m not sure; if it’s not a highway, it’s a tall building. china’s cities are absorbing a tidal wave of newcomers from the countryside, about 20 million a year. That

means more roads, more cars, more steel, more smelters, more pollution. meanwhile china still relies on coal for three quarters of its energy needs. coal burning power plants have helped make it the world’s number one greenhouse gas polluter. It’s a reminder that china’s show-stopping economic rise has come at a huge cost to the environment. But analysts say attitudes are shifting. People are drawing a line, especially when it comes to their health.

(woman speaking chinese) Dr. Jiang Fang is a respiratory specialist with twenty years’ experience in Lanzhou. Outside her office,

patients wander the halls with chest X-rays in hand. She runs through some of the ailments caused by dirty air – runny nose, asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease.

(Dr. Jiang speaking chinese) FEmALE TRAnSLATOR: We tell our patients to decrease activities outdoors in spring and winter. Secondly,

we advise them to pay attention to the airflow indoors. We advise the elderly to do exercise in a gym.SP: As we were leaving our office, Dr. Jiang stopped my translator. he’d been complaining of sinus problems. (man speaking) She told him he was having a reaction to the air pollutants and wrote him a prescription for an inhaler. Two years ago, the uS embassy in Beijing began doing something the chinese government refused to do. It

posted air quality readings from a monitor on its roof to Twitter. Eventually, the chinese government gave in to public pressure and began publishing its own data. A few cities have even begun to track tiny particu-lates, 2.5 microns in diameter or less. This is especially important because these smaller particulates can easily penetrate lungs and enter the bloodstream. They’re extremely hazardous and until recently they were absent from the official data.

mAn: I’m trying to google my website.SP: Tom Young is a biologist in Shanghai, but his hobby is to crunch the numbers on air pollution. he shows me

his website where he funnels public data into tidy graphs so that anyone can see.TOm: I think it’s the general trend that wider population … they are now equipped with better knowledge,

quantified knowledge, of their living environment and the quality of it.SP: Young says he hopes his site will help people decide when to exercise. It might even reveal trends. While he

crunches the numbers, china’s environmentalists are getting bolder. There has been an uptick in massive protests over health risks related to industrial projects. Some have turned violent. Experts say the govern-ment gets the message, but it remains to be seen whether china’s new generation of leaders can rein in pollution and still deliver the amazing economic growth the chinese have come to expect.

TASK 2

THE APPLE LOGO AND THE BRAIN (2:45’)

SP … Speaker (Susan Stamberg) PF … Professor Gavan Fitzsimons

SP: We offer a bit of insight into the power of iPod marketing. A new study indicates that the logo on Apple products like iPods, iPhones, imacs stimulate your brain. The study found that people who were shown the Apple logo scored higher on the creativity test than those who were exposed to the IBm logo, presumably because they were mirroring the traits they associate with those logos.

Professor Gavan Fitzsimons of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke university co-wrote the study on logos and the brain. he joins us now from Durham, north carolina. So, Professor, tell us what exactly were the traits that people associated with Apple and with IBm?PF: People find that when they think about the Apple logo they think very strongly about associations with

creativity. When they think about the IBm logo, they think about the general notion of competence or professional.

SP: So the people you studied actually took on traces they associated with these brands? I mean the Apple creative ones began humming new compositions and the IBm ones got organized and competent?

PF: Essentially, yes. umh … you know, we showed people on the computer, for a very, very short duration, like 30 milliseconds, either with the Apple logo or the IBm logo, and then we looked at their behavior to see if, as you say, they hummed compositions or not. The Apple Prime people were much more creative than the IBm Prime people by, like, 20 to 30 percent.

SP: This is a tremendous advertisement for Apple! Are they involved in this project at all, like funding it?PF: not surprisingly, many people ask me that question …SP: Yeah. PF: … but no, to ensure sort of the integrity of the project we’ve never actually even spoken to anyone … any of

the companies whose logos we use.SP: huh … What do you think the message is for consumers, Professor?PF: We’re obviously being influenced by the things around us and so we should be somewhat wary of what’s

around us, and then we should be strategically surrounding ourselves with logos that have associations that we find to be desirable.

SP: hmm … I wonder what’s the implication for advertisers then?PF: If every time you see an Apple logo you find yourself being more creative, you’re gonna be a little happier in

all likelihood.SP: hm..hmm.PF: And all of a sudden, I think, at a non-conscious level, we’re gonna start to … we as consumers will start to

pair the brand that we’re being exposed to with this increased happiness, and that should, you know, result in some increase in loyalty from their customers, I would imagine, over time.

SP: Thanks very much. Gavan Fitzsimons is a professor at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke university. his study of the impact of logos appears in the April issue of the Journal of consumer Research. Thanks!

PF: Thank you, Sue.

TASK 3

FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM (3:45’)

SP … Speaker Gh … Grace hood JG … Jennifer Goodnight JO … Jerry Overmyer GG … Greg Green

SP: In some middle schools and high schools completing a homework assignment could be as simple as watching a video like this.

VOIcE FROm VIDEO: Okay, welcome to podcast 4.4. now we’re gonna talk about writing and naming ionic bonds.SP: Welcome to the 21st century classroom. It’s a world where students watch lectures at home and do

homework at school. Grace hood, from member station Kunc, reports on so-called ‘classroom flip-ping’ in rural colorado, one of the first places to test the idea.

Gh: When Bennett high School sophomore Jessica miller sits down to do her chemistry homework she pulls out her notebook. Then she turns on an iPad. (voices)

JEnnIFER: Whenever she changes a slide I’ll pause it. I write everything up on the screen down.Gh: miller can replay parts of the chemistry video podcast she doesn’t understand and fast forward to

those that make sense. Then she takes her notes to class where her teacher can review them.JG: If you have podcast 4 notes done raise your hand … if you have podcast 4 notes done raise your hand.

Okay, I will come around and check them.Gh: chemistry teacher Jennifer Goodnight walks up and down the rows of her classroom, giving verbal

quizzes, guiding students through labs and answering questions.JG: This is right because cadmium is a transition metal and his charge originally came from here, right?

Because that’s hydroxide. (fading)Gh: Goodnight is one of about five teachers flipping their classrooms at this small school on colorado’s

eastern plains. She’s part of a growing group of teachers using the concept since it emerged here in the state in 2007. So far, she says, it’s paying off with better test scores. She’s been teaching for 12 years and flipping her classroom for the past two.

JG: If they’re gonna have their iPads all the time, might as well put a lecture on it. So on their way home from school, on the bus or whatever, they can maybe watch a lecture for homework that night. It is truly about meeting them where they’re at, realizing that the 21st century is different.

JO: The whole concept of just sitting and listening to a lecture is really that what’s getting outdated. Stu-dents are just not buying into that any more.

Gh: Jerry Overmyer is creator of the Flipped Learning network for teachers, which has almost 10,000 mem-bers. he says the concept is popular in maths and science classes where students can easily become frustrated working problem sets at home, while videos seem to get the most attention. he says what really matters is how teachers use classroom time.

JO: It’s about that personalized face-to-face time. now that you’re not spending class time … class time doing lectures, you know, you’re working one-on-one with students, how are you gonna use that time?

Gh: While there’s little academic research on the concept, it appears to work in a variety of schools, from colorado to Illinois to michigan. Outside Detroit, clintondale principal Greg Green tested the idea in 2010 as a way to curb disciplinary issues and boost scores. It worked well enough that Green flipped the entire school which has a large number of at-risk students.

GG: now you can simply just take five steps and record a video and then simply send it to your students and your parents and keep everybody informed. So, now we’re becoming even more transparent.

Gh: That transparency can go a long way toward winning over parents who are sceptical of the idea. Back in colorado, Bennett high School parent Denise Patschke says she found herself questioning classroom flipping videos when her son first came home from school. But as time went on, she began to watch them.

TASK 4 - AHS

LUCHA LIBRO IN PERU (3:40’)

SP … Speaker Am … Annie murphy

SP: So, I believe every has a novel in them just waiting to get written. But let’s face it, it’s not easy to jumpstart a writing career anywhere. But in Peru, where books are expensive and published in very small numbers, it’s especially tough. But now there’s ‘Lucha Libro’! It’s based on mexico’s Lucha Libre, where wrestlers put on masks and pseudonyms to duke it out in a ring. here the contestants put masks and use fake names, too, but they take to the ring to write short stories on the clock and in front of a live crowd. crazy, right?

Reporter Annie murphy has the story.Am: On a chilly monday night a bar called La noche is packed. (music) usually people come to see live bands, but tonight they are here for Lucha Libro, a form of literary wrestling,

where new writers are given three random words, a laptop hooked up to a gigantic screen and five minutes to write a short story. At the end of a match, the losing writer has to take off their mask. The winner goes on to the next round a week later. And the grand prize? It’s a book contract! (music)

The crowd is youngish, people in their 20s and 30s, a lot of big glasses and skinny jeans. An announcer in striped referee shirt takes the stage. (announcer speaking Spanish)

The first contestant is a guy by the name chicken Wilson. he’s tall and goofy, but when he sees the three words projected on the screen behind him he gets serious. he’s got monkey, plane ticket and dictionary to work with. (announcer speaking Spanish)

The announcer counts to three and the clock starts. no one is talking. But just a paragraph in, chicken Wilson freezes. The seconds are ticking by, so the crowd starts to turn him on. (cheers)

And he rallies, dashing off a short story about a monkey living in the city and an American girl on vacation in Peru. This event is more than just a bunch of young writers fooling around in wrestling masks, says Dante Trujillo. he runs the Solar editorial house, which will publish the winning entry. he says that even though Peru’s economy is doing well right now, Peru is still feeling the impact of some hard decades. There was the military government in the 70s, the civil war in the 80s and then the collapse of the economy.

(Trujillo speaking Spanish)TRAnSLATOR: And so, for young authors just beginning their career, the best advice you can give them is to get

out of Peru.Am: Backstage, chicken Wilson explains that his pseudonym is a family nickname. But other contestants say that

there is more to their stage names. One young woman with a pale blond braid falling out the back of her black wrestler’s mask calls herself L, like the letter. (L speaking Spanish)

TRAnLSATOR: When I write I often write lyrical pieces, poems, and I usually sign them with that one letter. L also stands for ‘loser’ to me, and this concept of the underdog, a person nobody thinks can win. I’m really into that.

Am: Actually, it’s chicken Wilson who ends up losing his match, while L advances. Whoever wins the final round in a few weeks will have six months to finish their book. It’ll be released at the Lima Book Fair, where the writer will take off the mask and reveal his or her real identity for the first time.

Writer Jonathon Vasquez is one of the founders of Lucha Libro. he says the chance to win that coveted pub-lishing contract is important but not all there is to it. (Vasquez speaking Spanish)

he says it’s also about changing the idea that literature is boring. According to him, this turned it into an event because it’s not just the opportunity for a young person to become a writer, he says, it’s also having a place for young people to hang out and to read.

Annie murphy: Peru makes book writing into a spectator sport and invites aspiring writers into combat. In: Public Radio International (PRI). The World am 30.9.2013. Online abrufbar unter: https://www.pri.org (Stand: 27.8.2018)

HELP FOR SHOPS (3:16’)

DR … Daniel Robison AP … Ann Powers cS … chris Smith AS … Andrew Samtoy

SPEAKER: Okay, you may have heard of ‘flash mobs’, where a mass of people invade a public space to create a scene. Well, that idea has been spun off into ‘cash mobs’, where large crowds of consumers show up at small businesses to spend their money. But as Daniel Robison reports from member station WBFO, cash mobs are about a whole lot more than propping up the local economy.

DR: It’s 5 o’clock on a Friday and mostly quiet in Lander’s clothing, a mom-and-pop store in Jamestown, new York. But shop owner Ann Powers is anticipating the arrival of a mob.

AP: You get kind of nervous thinking, oh, nobody is gonna show up, or else maybe there’ll be so many people that the police will have to monitor.

DR: About three dozen people turn out. It’s Tiffani conti’s first cash mob.TIFFAnI: I actually bought a little tie for my son. So, yup, everybody seemed to walk out of the store with

something.DR: Lander‘s was chosen by the mob through a vote on its social media accounts. Ann Powers says she

feels lucky because this infusion of new customers helps her store stay afloat.AP: cash mob is good for any downtown little local business. We‘re dying. We‘re dinosaurs.DR: The idea started last fall when Buffalo blogger chris Smith envisioned using the purchasing power of

flash mobs to help small businesses. he set a few ground rules: Each person should try to spend $20 and pay full price for items. he says this sets cash mobs apart from other social media deals.

cS: What you get with a Groupon or a Living Social deal is a one-time injection. And it‘s not necessarily a profit able injection. You‘re having to cut your prices so significantly. I think with this, because we ask people to come and spend a little time in the store, we encourage the entrepreneur to spend some time with each of the shoppers and introduce themselves, talk about the products they have. It builds a relationship that you don‘t get with a coupon.

DR: nearly 200 cash mobs have cropped up in 35 states and a handful of countries, mostly through word of mouth online. Andrew Samtoy runs the national cash mobs blog from cleveland. he says the idea has spread so quickly because it‘s not just about helping small business.

AS: We‘re consciously using social media to get people to actually be social.DR: For example, cleveland‘s group has a rule that every mobber should try to meet at least three new

people. Samtoy says these events bring strangers together to rally around a common cause.AS: In this day and age people are counting the number of friends on Facebook or Twitter and thinking

that that is … somehow relates to the number of friends they have in real life. We want people to actually get out from behind their computer screens and meet face to face and form what could be considered a real community.

DR: But chris Smith admits cash mobs could become another fad, since technically no one‘s in charge of the movement, and each local mob must determine its own way forward.

cS: The best way to let something grow is to not worry about it. Let people take ownership of it and do it the way that works for them. And as long as you stay true to the original concept, I think you‘re always going to be successful.

DR: Which means anyone can plan a cash mob anywhere, anytime. But Smith recommends calling the business first just to make sure it‘s OK.
