I'm phoning to let you know that my college basketball team are very keen to come over to Finland to take part in the Tampere Student Games. Pirkko: Well, that's great. We're hoping to make it a really special event this year, as it's the 80th anniversary of
2 Finnish Student Sport! John: Fantastic! We're all looking forward to coming. Let me just check - the games start on May 19th, right? Pirkko: Oh, that was the provisional plan when you first contacted me, that they'd run from the 19th to the 23rd. But we've cut the programme by a day, so now it'll begin on the 20th, still ending on the 23rd (1). There's going to be an opening ceremony on the first evening. John: We don't want to miss that, do we! And how much is the entry fee for the Games? Pirkko: This year it's gone up from 16 to 18 euros (2) a day per person. I'm afraid, but you get a lot for that. John: How do you mean? Pirkko: Well, of course it covers the competition entrance, but you also get three meals a day and even floor space (3) if you want it - we can't manage beds for everyone! John: Sounds a bit basic to me. Can you recommend a hotel? Pirkko: Well, Tampere is quite a big city, so there are a lot of hotels. The Homeland would be convenient if you come by train, or maybe you'd prefer the Hermica, as it's offering a reduced rate for participants in the games. It's spelt H-E-R-M-I-C-A (4). Its a very nice hotel. John: And where is it exactly? Pirkko: Well, that's the other good thing from your point of view, it's in the Hervanta district of Tampere, near the University of Technology (5) John: And why is that good for us? Pirkko: Because all the basketball matches are taking place near there. John: Oh, I see Pirkko: Look, why don't you give the website address, and then you can look up the programme and find anything else you need to know. John: Good idea. So, what is it? Pirkko: OK, it's www dot sellgames - that's S-E-doublei-G-A-M-E-S dot com John: Brilliant! I'll have a look now. Thanks, Pirkko. Pirkko: See you soon, then. Bye, John. Part II. You will hear a radio interview with Ryan Patterson, the inventor of a new device. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). (5.0 points) Statements True False 6. The idea for the invention occurred to Ryan while waiting at a Burger King restaurant. x
3 7. A cell phone is used as the receiver when using the Sign Language Translator. x 8. The invention brought Ryan money to cover the costs of his further education. x 9. Ryan had no previous experience of building electronic devices. x 10. Ryan has sold this invention to a deaf community center. x TRANSCRIPT Kathie Holmes: Good afternoon, this is Kathie Holmes in our program, “Young and Brainy”. Today I’m going to be speaking to Ryan Patterson, a teenager whose invention may bridge the communication gap between the deaf and those that can hear. Ryan, tell us how it all started. Ryan Patterson: It was 2 years ago. I was waiting to be served at our local Burger King and I noticed a group of customers using sign language to place an order. They were obviously deaf. They communicated with a speaking interpreter and he relayed their choices to a cashier. I thought it would make things easier if they had an electronic interpreter instead. I remembered the idea later, when I was thinking of a new project for a science competition. I called it Sign language Translator. It consists of a glove which is lined with ten sensors. The sensors detect the hand positions that are used to shape the alphabet of American Sign language. Then a microprocessor transmits that information to a small portable receiver. The receiver has a screen similar to those cell phones, and this screen displays the words, letter by letter. In this way people can read the words, even if they don’t understand sign language, and people who use sign language can communicate without a interpreter. K: Are you impressed? So were judges at the 2001 Siemens Science and Technology Competition. The project received top honors, along with $100,000 college scholarship for the young inventor. And now Ryan’s project is already patented. Ryan, how long did you experiment with the invention before you finally produced the prototype? R: Around nine months. I started with searching how sign language works. Then I had to figure out how to translate all that electronically. I’ve always had an interest in electronics. I’ve liked wiring things together since I was 4 years old. I also had hands on experience from my part time job at a robotic equipment lab. K: Did you have problems finding appropriate materials? R: I’m used to hunting for hardware to build competition robots, but for this project I also had to try on many different gloves. A golf glove turned out to be the best solution. It’s soft and flexible and fits closely. K: According to the National Institute of Deafness, one to two million people in the US are profoundly deaf. And most of them use sign language to communicate. Will your invention make an impact? J: There was a demonstration at our local deaf community center and the people were interested. What
