| 2 | World without buttons |
| 3 | To monitor and treat the disease |
| 4 | A built-in charger |
| 5 | Key under your skin |
| 6 | Big brother is watching you |
| 7 | Disadvantages of tech |
| 8 | Phone always on you |
| A | Sure, we’re virtually connected to our phones 24/7 now, but what if we could be literally plugged in to our phones? That’s already starting to happen. Last year, for instance, artist Anthony Antonellis had a chip put in his arm that could store and transfer data to his handheld smartphone. And researchers are already experimenting with sensors that turn human bone into living speakers. |
| B | In the future patients will be able to use implantable technologies to diagnose and even treat diseases. Scientists in London are developing swallowable capsule-sized chip that will control fat levels in obese patients and generate genetic material that makes them feel “full”. It has potential as an alternative to surgery to handle obesity. Also it can monitor blood-sugar levels for diabetics. |
| C | The U.S. military has programs to identify any person using face scanning device. Some people see it as a doubtless advantage: improved crime fighting, secure elections and never a lost child again. However, such technologies can hammer against social norms and raise privacy issues. And one day there might be a computer to see all, know all and control all. |
| D | One of the challenges for implantable tech is delivering power to devices which are inside human bodies. You can’t plug them in as you do with your phone or computer. You can’t easily take them out to replace a battery. A team in Cambridge is working on specific bio batteries that can generate power inside the body, transfer it wirelessly where needed, and then simply melt away. |
| E | Soon tattoos will not only make you look cool but will be able to perform useful tasks, like opening your car or entering smartphone codes with a fingerpoint. Researchers have made an implantable skin fibers thinner than a human hair. Scientists are working on the chip that can be put inside a finger through a tattoo-like process, letting you unlock things or enter codes simply by pointing. |
| F | The British research team is developing pills with microprocessors in them that can text to hospitals directly from inside your body. The pills can share inside info to help doctors know if you are taking your medication properly and if it is having the desired effect. Moreover, in case of emergency, it can send a signal to the computer and the ambulance will come straight away. |
| G | Lately touchscreens are everywhere – from computers, phones, tablets to car systems and vending machines. Even doorbells now include touch screen controls. One has to wonder: are we moving to a world of only touchscreen devices? And the answer is probably yes. We are coming to an age where every flat or even curved surface could be made a touchscreen and we can operate from it. |

Driverless cars
Driverless cars are expected to be rolling into the streets within the next 20
years. In fact, they’ve legally been on the roads for the past years, approved for
testing purposes. It is predicted that driverless vehicles will be commercially
available at a high cost within 7 years, but it may take another 8 years for prices to
drop enough to spur mass consumption.
Today, the discussions focus primarily on the shifting of accident liability to
manufacturers and all the goodness that comes along with reducing accidents. A
truly driverless road would not be accident-free as there would still be a number of
accidents caused by mechanical or computer errors, weather conditions,
pedestrians and sheer random chance. But it would make the now-routine loss of
life on the roads far rarer.
The concept of a “driver” will be replaced with that of an “operator”, who
simply programs the vehicle’s GPS to arrive at the desired destination and pushes
the “Start” button to begin the trip. Since judgment will no longer be required of
the operator, they won’t need a driver’s license. Theoretically, a 10-year-old child
could independently take the car to school in the morning.
Computer-operated cars will eventually reshape the car design as things like
windshields will become less necessary. Drivers will be able to sit wherever they’d
like in their cars. There will be no need for gas and brake pedals as speed will be
automatically controlled by the computer. The steering wheel and the turn signal
arm can also be eliminated once the public gets used to reliability of these vehicles.
Each passenger will have a personal video display informing about a current
location, the distance to your destination, speed and personal entertainment
selections. The concept of ‘distracted driving’ will disappear as there will be no
reason to pay attention to where you are going.
Vehicle owners will no longer buy collision insurance since manufacturers
will be solely responsible for damage. Owners will only need theft insurance and
coverage for hail, falling objects or floods. To take this one step further, personal
vehicle ownership may dramatically diminish. Car dealers will have lots full of
vehicles for hire on a daily or hourly basis instead of vehicles for sale. When you
need a car, you’ll summon one using your mobile phone. The closest unmanned
vehicle will be dispatched to your home to take you where you need to go. When
done, you’ll simply push the button for the unmanned vehicle to drive itself back
to the rental lot.
The social and cultural impact of driverless cars could cause far more
upheaval than any of us could imagine. Perhaps, it would be even greater than the
impact the Internet had on commerce and communication. Obviously, the picture
being painted is the one that assumes total adoption, which is far from realistic. You will always have transitional delays caused by the lack of free cars, the
longevity of today’s vehicles and cultural resistance.
This resembles the historical factors that affected the transition from horse to
the automobile. At the moment, the driverless car seems like a novelty. However,
it will open up new prospects. The prospect of flying cars may soon become a
reality. With computer-controlled vehicles that strictly follow traffic rules, three-dimensional
roads become far less scary and more a matter of simply solving the
technological challenge.
Where we’re going, we may not need roads at all.

Presenter: Good evening everyone. We are happy to welcome you to our weekly program “Animal world”. Today is a very special day as we have a great opportunity to hear from an amazing woman who knows a lot about wild life and wild animals. Sarah Thomas, it is very good to see you today. Thank you so much for coming.
Sarah: Hello, it is good to be here, thank you for inviting me.
Presenter: So, before we start talking about your experiences with the animals, let me ask you how it all started. Where were you born and were you interested in animals from childhood? How did it all start?
Sarah: Well, I was born in London and my fascination with animal behavior began in early childhood when we moved to York. We lived in a cozy thatched cottage in the most picturesque part of the city and in my leisure time, I observed native birds and animals, making lots of notes and sketches, and I also read a lot in the area of zoology. From an early age, I dreamed of traveling to Africa: I was eager to observe exotic animals in their natural habitats.
Presenter: We know that your dream came true and that you spent quite a bit of time in Africa.
Sarah: Yes, when I was 18 I left school and got a job as a secretary at Oxford University. In my spare time, I worked at a London-based documentary film company because I wanted to make some money for my trip to Africa. One day, completely out of the blue, my childhood friend invited me to visit Kenya, and so I did. There I met an anthropologist Thomas Wild who wanted to perform a study about chimpanzees to see if it would throw more light on evolution. You know,
some of my friends and relatives thought that was a crazy idea because I had no college education to do these studies but Thomas believed I had the right kind of character to be able to live in the wild for a long time. Since it was actually my childhood dream, I agreed. That was my very first attempt to study the monkeys. Unfortunately, it wasn’t successful.
Presenter: Did you try again, then? I know you have written several books and filmed a few documentary films about your experience with the chimpanzees.
Sarah: That’s true. I started all over. In 1960 I went to Africa again together with my mum and an African cook. We established a camp on a lake shore. Can you imagine: crystal clear water, sand banks … Anyway, it took me two long years to get close to the monkeys, to the point when they allowed me to be a part of their group.
Presenter: Two years! You’ve got more patience than I have! How did you make them like you in the end?
Sarah: Bananas! For two years I offered them bananas until they actually began to accept me as their own. I came to the same spot every day at the same time and fed them bananas. After one year they stopped running away, after the second year they allowed me to climb trees with them and eat their food.
Presenter: What? Are you serious? You climbed trees with the chimps? That was probably lots of fun!
Sarah: You bet! I had to learn to use my arms and legs like never before. It only looks easy when you observe the animals. We as people are very limited in our abilities to use our limbs: our legs and arms aren’t designed to hang onto tree branches and plant leaves. The monkeys, on the other hand, don’t even have to think about what they are doing when they move. So, there was a lot I had to learn
not to fall off those tall trees. That was a real challenge!
Presenter: Was it all worth it, though?
Sarah: Definitely, I still think of that time as one of the best periods of my life. I got so close to these animals that I was able to understand them. I was able to experience what it is like to be inside an animal world.

Now we are ready to start.
Presenter: Good afternoon, and here we are with our special program for teens where we explore advantages and disadvantages of all sorts of professions. Today we have Carl Fox, a travel agent. Hello, Carl!
Carl Fox: Good afternoon.
Presenter: So Carl, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Carl Fox: Well, as you already know, I’m a travel agent, and I work for one of the major chains on High Street. I’ve been with them for about 10 years and while I’ve been working I’ve studied for a number of qualifications.
Presenter: What inspired you to become a travel agent?
Carl Fox: People often ask me why I decided to become a travel agent. As a young adult I loved travelling and worked for a while as a rep in Spain. When I came back to the UK I decided to stay within the travel industry, and my experience of working in resorts abroad helped me to get a job as a travel agent. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great perk!
Presenter: I see. What are your responsibilities at your job?
Carl Fox: Basically, I’m a sales person. I advise people on the holiday options available to them, you know, different destinations, types of holiday, ways to get there, and so on. When customers have decided what they want, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they might need, such as car hire or tours. My responsibility doesn’t end there, though. I have to make sure that clients know if any visas are necessary, or if they will need vaccinations, and how to get them. If
they are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.
Presenter: That’s a lot to do! And I bet it’s getting more and more difficult to work in your sphere because of the rivalry.
Carl Fox: Well, not because the rivalry is too high, it’s the same everywhere. The point is that more and more customers want a tailor-made holiday, not just a package from a brochure. However, I love the challenge! It’s a lot more interesting for me if I can organize the whole thing – make out an itinerary, book flights, ferries, trains, accommodation and everything. I love providing a personalized
service, especially if it’s to places that I know. I can really help customers get a great holiday that will be ideal for them.
Presenter: People who are going on holiday must be relaxed and easy to deal with, right?
Carl Fox: Generally yes, but not always. Sometimes I get difficult customers. One man came in wanting a flight to Venice the next day. I checked out times and fares on the computer, and found a very reasonable flight at a suitable time, so we booked it there and then. A week later he came in and he was absolutely furious. He wanted to know why I had flown him to Venice, in Italy, when he had had an
important meeting in Vienna, which is in Austria. I didn’t know what to say, but since then I’ve always been careful to check that people really know where they want to go.
Presenter: That’s a case which is funny and sad at the same time and it’s hard to believe it after all.
Carl Fox: Don’t I know!
Presenter: Any downsides to your job?
Carl Fox: There must be some but I love my job so I simply don’t notice them.
Presenter: I see. Thank you very much, Carl.
Carl Fox: My pleasure.

Presenter: Welcome to “Amazing people” show. Today we are joined by Mary Jamison who’s been leading a truly adventurous life.
Mary: Hello. It is good to be here, thank you for inviting me.
Presenter: So, Mary, how did you get the idea of cycling to the South Pole?
Mary: I’d been looking at Antarctica for years, thinking I’d love to ski to the South Pole. I found out that no one had ever cycled there and I wondered if it was possible. I researched the idea, and in March 2012 I cycled across Siberia’s Lake Baikal as a test. I then trained in Norway and Iceland. I think that pedal power is one of the most efficient means of human power, and so I wanted to see if this was
true even on snow and ice where historically skis have always been favoured. About six months before I set off, in June 2013, I found out that there were two other cyclists, a guy from Spain and an American man, attempting to do the same thing as me, so I kept my plans very quiet.
Presenter: So, it wasn’t you plan to compete against them, was it?
Mary: Not at all. In fact, they left three or four weeks before me and finished a couple of weeks after me. I was reading their blogs before I left and I could see that they were not having a good time. They went on normal mountain bikes with thicker tires.
Presenter: You helped design the horizontal bike you used. Did your background in math and science give you an advantage over your competitors?
Mary: I’m good at working out complex problems. I fell off my bike at least 50 times while cycling Lake Baikal because of the extreme wind, so a lot of the bike design came from experience. I also took a different route than my competitors. I don’t like following others. My route was much steeper but also shorter. Their route was around 1,000 km and mine was 638 km.
Presenter: Were you concerned that one of them was going to beat you to the South Pole?
Mary: I was, but I knew my preparation was spot on. It’s a very expensive adventure, so I needed major sponsors. I saved a lot of money and borrowed from family members so it was a very stressful time. Now I’m in debt. I have another 23 years to pay this loan off. There is no profit in these kinds of expeditions.
Presenter: You faced temperatures of –29°C without wind chill. How do you prepare for that kind of bitter cold?
Mary: When I was cycling I wore a light coat with three layers underneath, and I didn’t have any skin showing. When I stopped, I’d put on an extra warm jacket. I did get a bit of frostbite one day. Every night I’d take a photo of myself and look at it to make sure I still had all my body parts. My feet suffered the most. I had to stop and jump up and down to keep them going. It didn’t matter how many layers of socks I put on, my feet were cold all the time.
Presenter: How did you cope being alone in extreme cold for 10 days?
Mary: The first few days I could see some mountains on my right, and that was spectacular and dramatic. Once I got closer to the South Pole, it was just a blanket of white. The endless monotony was hypnotizing. I loved just looking at nothing.
Presenter: Where did you rest and eat during your journey?
Mary: I had a solo tent that was just about big enough for me plus two of my bags. I did all my cooking in there. I’d sleep for five hours or so at night and cycle for up to 17 hours.
Presenter: What did you do when you crossed the finish line?
Mary: First, I took a photo at the ceremonial South Pole, a big ball on a post where everyone takes a picture. The actual South Pole is about 150m away. I cycled over to that as well. I was delighted to have become the first person in the world to cycle to the South Pole!
Аудирование является самым первым аспектом письменного этапа единого государственного экзамена по английскому языку. Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно заработать за этот аспект – 20. Здесь мы разберемся в типах заданий на аудирование и в том, как успешно их решить.
Аудирование по английскому языку включает три задания. В первом задании вы услышите шесть кратких высказываний и получите семь утверждений (тезисов). Ваша задача состоит в том, что вы должны подобрать к каждому высказыванию подходящее утверждение (тезис). Одно утверждение (тезис) лишний. Во втором задании вы услышите диалог и опять же получите семь утверждений. На это раз вы должны определить степень достоверности каждого утверждения, т.е. сказать, верное ли оно (True), ложное (False) либо об это вообще не было речи (Not stated). В третьем задании вы также услышите диалог (интервью) и получите девять вопросов, у каждого из которых будет по три варианта ответа. Вам надо выбрать правильный ответ. Далее мы рассмотрим подробно каждое задание на аудирование и попробуем свои силы в их выполнении.
- Аудирование, задание 1.
Само задание формулируется следующим образом:
“Сейчас Вы будете выполнять задания по аудированию. Каждый текст прозвучит 2 раза. После первого и второго прослушивания у Вас будет время для выполнения и проверки заданий. Все паузы включены в аудиозапись. Остановка и повторное воспроизведение аудиозаписи не предусмотрены. По окончании выполнения всего раздела «Аудирование» перенесите свои ответы в бланк ответов № 1.
Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A–F и утверждениями, данными в списке 1–7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Вы услышите запись дважды. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. У Вас есть 20 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.”
Сразу обращаем внимание – вам дается фора в 20 минут перед тем, как вы приступите непосредственно к прослушиванию записи. Но это время может быть увеличено за счет того, что вы не будете слушать диктора, зачитывающего вводные инструкции (диктор читает ту самую формулировку задания, которую мы привели выше). Сразу возьмите в руки ваш ким (т.е. контрольно-измерительный материал) и начинайте внимательно изучать утверждения.
Давайте потренируемся на примере демоверсии 2016 года. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 1” и, пока диктор будет зачитывать вводные инструкции, приступайте в изучению утверждений. В конце задания запишите результаты в виде буквенно-цифровое соотношения, например: A-1, B-2 и т.п.).

1. Teaching abroad doesn’t seem nice to some people.
2. My relative is a role model for me in terms of working abroad.
3. Some countries offer good career opportunities for beginning teachers.
4. Relatives are happy when you decide not to teach abroad.
5. I’m going to spend my gap year teaching English abroad.
6. Teaching as a way to change your life.
7. Don’t hesitate to write to the employer if you need the job.

Правильные ответы: A-6, B-4, C-3, D-2, E-7, F-1
Вот транскрипт самих текстов.
Speaker A
If you want to get new cultural and social experiences, the easiest, the fastest and the safest way is to go to a foreign country to teach English. If you have a university degree, an international certificate in English, a couple thousand dollars and about 3 months, you can start your life in an exotic location. I’m going to do this and I know people who’ve done it and I know what I’m talking about. You never know what to expect in a foreign country, that’s true, but isn’t it challenging at the same time?
Speaker B
I was thinking about spending my gap year teaching English abroad but I had second thoughts about it. I was told that only experienced teachers can get a working visa, coverage for their cost-of-living and a decent job. After reading some interviews on what’s it like to teach English in immersion camps, I gave up on the idea completely. That’s not what I’m ready to put up with. My parents are happy about that.
Speaker C
English is my major but the rivalry is so tense in the trade market now that I’m thinking of going somewhere for a couple of years to gain more experience and improve my teaching skills. Taiwan seems a perfect choice as everything is included for an inexperienced teacher – visas, accommodation and high salary. I’m worried about getting a social life there – I speak only English and I wonder if I can find friends there apart from my future students.
Speaker D
My uncle, David Dune, is a teacher, writer and runner. He is an educator with over 17 years of experience of teaching English as second and as a foreign language. He has taught and presented in Korea, Canada, France, and Ukraine. He specializes in Web 2.0 and using technology in the classroom. That must be an exciting life and the only thing I can think about is following in his footsteps. I hope he’ll share some secrets of being a good English teacher abroad.
Speaker E
I don’t remember how that magazine caught my sight but recently I read an interview with Neil Mullen who is a veteran English teacher in Japan. He started as a regular teacher and now he owns a school there. He is looking for new language teachers and I’m planning to send my CV. His e-mail address was included in the interview, not his personal address, of course. I just hope the e-mail won’t go to his spam folder and he’ll choose me as his employee.
Speaker F
People in my college are crazy about the idea of going to teach English somewhere in Thailand, China and what not. I listened to their heated discussions very attentively and understood it’s high risk. There are so many things to care about like visas, security, medication and cultural barriers. I’d better stay in the US to serve my country. In my view it’s more patriotic; besides, I’m not sure I can solve the problems connected with moving to another country.
В чем сложность первого задания? Во-первых, тематика всех высказываний одинаковая – в данном случае преподавание английского языка. Одинаковая тематика мешает вам провести четкие содержательные линии между текстами. Во-вторых, в каком-нибудь утверждении и высказывании может быть употреблена одинаковая фраза, но это совершенно может не означать, что именно данное утверждение соответствует именно данному высказыванию. Например, обратите внимание на пятое утверждение, в котором использовано словосочетание gap year. Такое же словосочетание имеется у Speaker B, но это не значит, что утверждение 5 соответствует высказыванию Speaker B. Подобные “трюки” вводятся в задание специально, чтобы проверить качество навыка аудирования и узнать, на какую глубину экзаменуемый воспринимает звучащий текст.
Рекомендации к выполнению данного задания:
1. Не слушать вводные инструкции и тем самым экономить время. Сразу приступать к чтению утверждений, содержащихся в задании.
2. Быть готовым к тому, что тематика высказываний будет одинаковой либо очень схожей. Старайтесь ловить смысловые детали, т.к. часто именно они играют решающую роль.
3. Не цепляться за одинаковые слова в утверждениях и высказываниях. Это чаще всего обманка.
- Аудирование, задание 2.
В этом задании прозвучит диалог и будут предложены утверждения. Вы прослушаете диалог и оцените правильность утверждений.
Задание имеет следующую формулировку:
“Вы услышите диалог. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений А–G соответствуют содержанию текста (1 – True), какие не соответствуют (2 – False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3 – Not stated). Занесите номер выбранного Вами варианта ответа в таблицу. Вы услышите запись дважды. У Вас есть 20 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.”
Опять же вам дается фора в 20 секунд для ознакомлением с заданием, и снова мы рекомендуем увеличить это время путем игнорирования вводной инструкции.
Обратите внимание, что ответы вам надо записывать цифрами 1, 2 и 3, а не словами True, False и Not stated. Вы напишите цифру 1, если утверждение верное, 2 – неверное, 3 – об этом вообще не было речи.
Давайте попробуем выполните задание, которое предлагается в качестве образца в демоверсии 2016 г. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 2” и, пока диктор формулирует задание, сразу приступите к изучению утверждений. Запишите ответы (в задании вас попросят занести ваши варианты в бланки ответов, но сейчас вы можете просто записать буквенно-цифровое соотношение, например: A-1, B-2 и т.п.).

Вот правильные ответы:

Вот сам текст диалога:
Peter: Hi, Lucy! You weren’t at school today. What is the matter? I was worried about you.
Lucy: Hi, Peter. It’s nothing serious, actually. I just felt a bit sick in the morning, so my mom let me stay at home.
Peter: You poor thing! And are you feeling better now?
Lucy: Yeah, much better, thank you. I guess it must have been the pizza that I ate yesterday. That was the reason for my bad stomachache. I had too much. But now, yeah, I feel all right. I think I won’t have to miss any more lessons this week.
Peter: But you haven’t been to the doctor’s office, have you? Won’t you have problems at school because you missed classes? When I was ill last month, I brought a medical certificate to school.
Lucy: Well, my mom called our class teacher, so I don’t think there will be any problems. Besides we don’t have many lessons on Wednesdays. How was Geography, by the way? Did you take a test?
Peter: Oh, no, we didn’t, but we revised the material for the test. The teacher asked several people to do exercises with the map of the UK at the blackboard, and then we had a sort of contest in groups where we had to find different mountains, rivers and lakes – the quicker the better, that was fun! And we also checked our homework and asked the teacher questions if we were not sure about the answers. You know, I feel well-prepared for tomorrow’s test now.
Lucy: Wait a second! Are we going to take the test tomorrow? I can’t believe it!
Peter: Yes, our teacher said that we are starting a new topic next week, so we have to finish this one tomorrow. Do you need any help with geography?
Lucy: Uh, if you can lend me your exercise-book with notes and checked homework, that would save me hours.
Peter: I am afraid I can’t give you my exercise-book right now because I have to revise the material for the test myself. But if you call me in two hours, we could probably study for the test together.
Lucy: Sounds like a great idea. And thanks so much for offering to help. It’s so nice to have a friend like you.
Peter: No problem. See you later then. Bye for now.
Lucy: Bye, Peter.
Будьте осторожны при работе с данным заданием – здесь много подводных камней. Так, например, возьмем утверждение D. Peter did exercises with the map of the UK (Питер выполнял упражнения с картой Соединенного Королевства). В тексте мы слышим The teacher asked several people to do exercises with the map of the UK at the blackboard (Учитель попросила нескольких учеников сделать упражнения с картой Соединенного Королевства у доски). Так что насчет Питера – делал он упражнения? Вроде бы напрашивается ответ “нет”, т.е. False, однако… вдумайтесь в смысл высказывания – почему бы Питеру не быть одним из тех самых учеников, которые выполняли упражнение? Мы не можем точно сказать, что делал именно Питер упражнения или нет – об этом в тексте речи нет, так что правильный ответ Not stated.
Рекомендации к выполнению данного задания:
1. Не слушать вводные инструкции и тем самым экономить время. Сразу приступать к чтению утверждений, содержащихся в задании.
2. Четко уяснить смысл понятий True (четкое да), False (четкое нет), Not stated (ни да, ни нет; на основе текста невозможно дать однозначный ответ).
- Аудирование, задание 3.
Третье задание на аудирование заключается в прослушивании еще одного диалога. В демоверсии 2016 года предложено интервью. Ваша задача – прослушать интервью и ответить на вопросы путем выбора правильного ответа.
Задание формулируется следующим образом:
“Вы услышите интервью. В заданиях 3–9 запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2 или 3, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа. Вы услышите запись дважды. У Вас есть 50 секунд чтобы ознакомиться с заданиями.”
Опять же добудьте себе дополнительное время, не обращая внимание на лишние слова диктора, формулирующего задание. Сразу возьмитесь за изучения вопросов и вариантов ответов.
Давайте попробуем выполнить демонстрационное задание. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 3” и, игнорируя вводные слова диктора, сразу приступайте к изучению вопросов и ответов. Обратите внимание, нумерация вопросов начинается с цифры 3. Считается, что первым вопросов было все первое задание на аудирование, вторым вопросом – все второе задание на аудирование.

Транскрипт интервью:
Presenter: Good afternoon, and here we are with our special program for teens where we explore advantages and disadvantages of all sorts of professions. Today we have Carl Fox, a travel agent. Hello, Carl!
Carl Fox: Good afternoon.
Presenter: So Carl, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Carl Fox: Well, as you already know, I’m a travel agent, and I work for one of the major chains on High Street. I’ve been with them for about 10 years and while I’ve been working I’ve studied for a number of qualifications.
Presenter: What inspired you to become a travel agent?
Carl Fox: People often ask me why I decided to become a travel agent. As a young adult I loved travelling and worked for a while as a rep in Spain. When I came back to the UK I decided to stay within the travel industry, and my experience of working in resorts abroad helped me to get a job as a travel agent. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great perk!
Presenter: I see. What are your responsibilities at your job?
Carl Fox: Basically, I’m a sales person. I advise people on the holiday options available to them, you know, different destinations, types of holiday, ways to get there, and so on. When customers have decided what they want, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they might need, such as car hire or tours. My responsibility doesn’t end there, though. I have to make sure that clients know if any visas are necessary, or if they will need vaccinations, and how to get them. If they are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.
Presenter: That’s a lot to do! And I bet it’s getting more and more difficult to work in your sphere because of the rivalry.
Carl Fox: Well, not because the rivalry is too high, it’s the same everywhere. The point is that more and more customers want a tailor-made holiday, not just a package from a brochure. However, I love the challenge! It’s a lot more interesting for me if I can organize the whole thing – make out an itinerary, book flights, ferries, trains, accommodation and everything. I love providing a personalized service, especially if it’s to places that I know. I can really help customers get a great holiday that will be ideal for them.
Presenter: People who are going on holiday must be relaxed and easy to deal with, right?
Carl Fox: Generally yes, but not always. Sometimes I get difficult customers. One man came in wanting a flight to Venice the next day. I checked out times and fares on the computer, and found a very reasonable flight at a suitable time, so we booked it there and then. A week later he came in and he was absolutely furious. He wanted to know why I had flown him to Venice, in Italy, when he had had an important meeting in Vienna, which is in Austria. I didn’t know what to say, but since then I’ve always been careful to check that people really know where they want to go.
Presenter: That’s a case which is funny and sad at the same time and it’s hard to believe it after all.
Carl Fox: Don’t I know!
Presenter: Any downsides to your job?
Carl Fox: There must be some but I love my job so I simply don’t notice them.
Presenter: I see. Thank you very much, Carl.
Carl Fox: My pleasure.
Итак, в этой публикации мы рассмотрели основные типы заданий на аудирование и разобрались с особенностями их успешного выполнения. Желаем удачи на экзамене!
