I. PART 1: You’ll hear a conversation about eco-holidays. You will hear TWICE. (1.0p) Questions 1-6. Complete the notes below. Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER for each answer. Customer’s name: Igor Petrov Length of holiday: (1) _____________2/two__________ weeks Will pay up to (2) £___________1750____________ Told him about (3) ___________(a) discount____________ for advance payments Needs to quote for travel (4) ____________insurance___________ during holiday Requires (5) _____________vegetarian meals__________ on plane Must check if he needs a (6) ____________visa___________ TRANSCRIPT I: Igor T: Travel agent I: Good morning. T: Good morning. Just a moment and I'll be with you. Now how can I help you? I: Yes, I phoned you earlier about an equal holiday. You know one of those holidays where you don't damage the environment at all and you get close to nature? T: Yes, I remember. But Mr. Petrov, isn't it? I: It's Igor Petrov. You said you were going to look up what was available at a rather short notice. T: I did and I've got a few things here. Just before I show them to you though, let me get down a few details. I: OK. T: Right. Now how long are you hoping to go for? A week, a month? I: I originally planned to go for three weeks but I think actually two would be better.
2 T: Fine. Just note that down. I think it's a good length for a holiday. You don't want to go for too long or it's difficult to get back to work again afterwards I always think. And what's the limit on how much you're prepared to pay? I: Yes, I don't really want to go above £1,750 if I can help it. T: Fine. Oh, but when you come to look at the brochures, I should just point out that each of them has a discount if you pay in advance. I: Oh, that's good. How much is it? T: It depends on the holiday you choose but it's worth bearing in mind. Do you have any special requirements which I should note down by the way? I: Yes, one thing I'm keen on is having travel insurance while I'm away. So can you give me a quote? T: Well, I can't actually at the moment because our internet connection is down just now. But as soon as we have it up and running again and we know what holiday you've chosen, I'll give you a call. Is there anything else? I: Yes, there is actually. I'm not a meat eater. So you'll need to specify to the airline that I need to eat vegetarian meals when I fly. T: OK, vegetarian meal. By the way, what nationality are you, Mr Petrov? I: I'm Russian from St Petersburg originally. T: I just ask because I may need to see if you'll need a visa for some of the places you might visit. I'm just pointing that out because you want to go fairly soon and it can sometimes be quite a lengthy process. Questions 7-10. Complete the table below. Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer. Eco-holidays Type of holiday Accommodation Advantage Dumbarton Tablelands watching (7) ________animals_______ house in a tree close to nature Bago Nature Reserve live with a (8) ________(local) family_______ village house learn about way of life San Luis Island working in a school (9) _______(a) hostel________ holiday location without (10) ________car(s)______ TRANSCRIPT I: So, what options are still available?
3 T: OK, there are these three possibilities which I managed to print out earlier. I thought they looked good. I: OK, let's have a look. T: Erm, the first is called the Dumbarton Tablelands. It looks pretty good to me. It's in Western Australia. The holiday really involves being close to and watching animals. They're almost living with them, in fact, because you get to stay in quite a luxurious house or cabin, built high up in a tree and surrounded by lovely countryside. And, you know, there are birds and lizards and things, if you like that sort of thing. So you're very sort of... I: Close to nature. T: Close to nature? That's right. I: Mm, sounds interesting. I guess I could enjoy that. Erm, what else have you got? T: Well, there's this one in the Bego Nature Reserve, where you go and stay with a local family in their house, in a small mountain village, away from other tourists and the usual tourist spots. So, you discover lots about the way they live, and you sort of live in the family, share their meals, help them with their work, that sort of thing. I: Mm, not so much of a holiday then. T: Well, it depends on you. It's very different, and they say a change is as good as a rest. And then there's San Luis Island. I: Er, what happens at San Luis? T: Well, it's a small island, just a few miles from the coast of Central America. But I'm not sure if it's really up your street. You might like it because international tourism hasn't spoiled it yet, but I'd say it's more a holiday for young people. You go and live in a hostel, and, you know, you help paint the local school, and you get to meet the kids and sort of try your hand at teaching. I: Teaching? What? T: Oh, English or maths, whatever you're good at. What makes the island interesting, though, is their emissions policy. There are no cars. You have to walk or use a bicycle to get about, and you get there by sailing boat. I: Sounds wonderful. II. PART 2: You will hear part of a lecture about the development of suburbs in the USA.

4 C. a wish to own weekend homes 3. European suburbs, unlike those in North America, _______. A. consist largely of low-density housing B. are well planned C. have individual characters 4.

A. improvements in car manufacture B. the availability of money to buy homes C. people’s unwillingness to live in high density housing TRANSCRIPT Today, we're looking at how the suburbs of cities in the USA have developed since the middle of the 20th century, but first a little history. Suburbs have existed in various forms since antiquity, when cities typically were walled and the villages outside them were inferior in size and status. However, the modern American notion of the quiet, unspoiled outskirts as a retreat forthe wealthy city dweller is in evidence as early as the 6th century BC in Babylon. Further, early evidence comes from Cicero, writing in the 1st century BC, who refers to Suburbani, large country estates just outside Rome. Throughout Europe, the distinction between the city and outlying districts tended to remain sharp through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. To accommodate a large influx of newcomers, city walls were expanded, or as with London, towns adjacent to the overcrowded city were gradually annexed to it. Generally considered a less desirable location, the urban periphery was inhabited largely by the poor. In England, the rich who owned weekend villas outside London gradually transferred their main residences there, and the middle class soon followed. By the mid-19th century, there was a marked preference for suburban living. Migration from the central city to the suburbs was encouraged by a succession of technological advances in transportation. Horse-drawn stage coaches, railways, and the electric streetcar or trolley all enabled urban dwellers to commute longer distances than had previously been practical. Now in Europe, unlike the United States, suburbs grew organically as a response to human needs, and each suburb there generally has a center, and often has a quite distinct quality from other suburbs. Since the mid-20th century, however, North America has seen a distinctive pattern of growth called suburban sprawl, an almost endless spread of low-density housing without any distinct neighborhood centers. This is an artificial system, conceived by architects, engineers, and planners, and it's already showing itself to be unsustainable. Unlike the traditional neighborhood, sprawl is not healthy growth. It's essentially self-destructive. It consumes land at an alarming rate while producing insurmountable traffic problems. As the Ring of Suburbia grows
