PART I. LISTENING. (4.0 POINTS) I. You will hear people talking in five different situations. For questions 1 - 5, choose the best answer A, B or C. You will hear the recording twice. (2.0 points) 1. You hear a young woman who is an apprentice cook talking about her apprenticeship. How does she feel about it? A. grateful to be working in a four-star restaurant B. pleased that her teacher told her about the opportunity C. confident about fulfilling her ambitions TRANSCRIPT Woman: I did well at school but wasn’t sure what to do next: to carry on studying, or get a job straightaway. Then I discovered the apprenticeship scheme. And now I’m in college for part of the week, studying professional cookery, and an apprentice working in local restaurants – including a four-star one – for the rest of it. The restaurant work is exhausting and, because I’m never in the same kitchen two days running, it’s hard to settle into a routine. But the experience is invaluable and it’s paving the way to realising my dream of opening my own restaurant. And I’ve learnt so many different cooking techniques from my teacher at college! 2. You hear two friends talking about advertising. What does the woman say about advertisements? A. They are merely a form of entertainment. B. They make people buy things they don’t need. C. They give people misleading information about new products. TRANSCRIPT Man:   Have you seen that new mobile phone ad? Woman:   Oh year, it’s everywhere. It’s quite fun, though I can’t say I feel that way about most
2 advertisements. Man:   Some of them are very clever, though, aren’t they? Woman:   Yes, when it comes to persuading people they can’t live without stuff that’s actually completely useless! Or at least they usually already have something just as good, so why replace it? Man:   But it’s interesting to know what’s out there, isn’t it? Woman:   Well I’d say there are better ways of finding out about whether new products are any good than believing an ad that’s cost millions to make! Man:   Yeah, maybe, but they don’t do any harm, really. 3. You hear a comedian called Geoff Knight talking on the radio about his profession. What does Geoff like his act to contain? A. stories that give people a surprise B. things that everybody can relate to C. material that nobody has used before TRANSCRIPT Man: When I’m doing my comedy act, at theatres or clubs or on TV, I’ll often get my ideas from keeping my ears close to the ground. I try to pick up on all the strange and humorous everyday stuff, sometimes even boring … that you get in life … and I build it into my act. Obviously I do also get ideas from listening to other comedians too. I like to think that three generations of one family can sit at my show and know they won’t feel threatened, because I’m not rude. Even in big arenas people feel like I’m talking to them individually. It’s a comfort thing for them. 4. You hear a tour guide telling a group of tourists about a view. Which feature does the guide think will be most familiar to them? A. the park B. the river C. the wood TRANSCRIPT Woman:   Let me just stop here to enable you to savour the spectacular view. So over to your left, if you look down you can see a little circular wood. Well that’s quite a famous landmark locally because the poet Francis Alder actually used to have a cabin in that wood. Now down in the valley below there you can make out the River Thorn at its widest point, which Alder actually wrote about in many of his poems we all read when we were at school. Then if you look to halfway up the hill I’m sure you can see a large green area known as Callaway Park that’s
3 popular with young families. 5. You hear a woman talking to a work colleague about moving abroad for a new job. What does the woman feel disappointed about? A. the inflexible attitude to the start date B. the lack of job security involved C. the relatively low status of the work TRANSCRIPT Man:   Two years living away is a long time! Woman:   Yes, but I don’t have to worry about whether I can return to my old position. That’s guaranteed. Anyway, I’m 24 now and opportunities like this aren’t common. Man:   … Especially to oversee new project developments! Woman:   Yes … I mean, I was doing that already, in a way, so I’m not sure I can think of it as a promotion. The only thing is, I tried to negotiate a delay to the contract so I’d have a bit more time to get myself together, but it couldn’t be done. I felt I didn’t have any say in the matter. Man:   Oh well, don’t let that get in the way! II. You will hear a talk on the topic of what factors make people happy or unhappy with their job. For questions 6-10, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase. You will hear the recording twice.

Working conditions e. Relations with colleagues - Possible combinations TRANSCRIPT Morning everyone, this semester we are focusing on different approaches for understanding how employees can be motivated to perform well at their jobs. Today, we are going to be looking at the theory developed in the 1960s by a German psychologist named Frederick Herzberg, which has been very influential on management training courses. However, it is not without its drawbacks, as we shall see later. Now, the basic idea that Herzberg developed is that, in a given workplace, there are two types of factors at play. On the one hand, there are those factors that create increased job satisfaction, which Herzberg called the motivators. On the other hand, there are those aspects of a job that lead to an increased dissatisfaction, which are labeled hygiene factors. Having identified these two factors, these motivators and hygiene factors, Herzberg went on to state that a consequence of his theory was that the underlying reasons for job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction must be understood as independent of each other, hence the common name of this approach, the two-factor theory. Let's firstly consider the former set of factors in more detail. What aspects of a job tend to motivate employees and thus bring about greater job satisfaction? Well, Herzberg's own conclusions were not based on armchair speculation, but rather supported by research carried out within a variety of corporations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he found that achievement was a number one factor leading to increased satisfaction. Obviously, everyone likes to be a success. This was followed by recognition, that is to say, having one's contribution valued. The work itself, having more responsibility, and personal advancement, such as getting a promotion, completed the list. Now, some of you may have noticed something missing from the list that usually gets included when people give their main reasons for working hard. Salary. So, why isn't it there? Well, the answer is that, for Herzberg, salary is not a great motivator because any pay rise will never completely satisfy.
