How may I help you? Speaker 2: Hello. I um, seem to have a problem with my computer. It's really inconvenient too because I have a deadline tomorrow I'm rushing to meet, and suddenly the screen went blank. Blue. A blank blue screen. I don't
2 know if you can do something about it. Speaker 1: the dreaded blue screen. I think I can do something about it. It's my job after all. There are a few scenarios though that could be going on with your computer. You've tried restarting it, right? Speaker 2: Oh, yes nothing. Speaker 1: And it's plugged in, not running on battery? Speaker 2: Yes. Speaker 1: Are you sure? Can you check again? Speaker 2: Okay. Yes. It's plugged in. Speaker 1: Okay. Can you give me a bit more information about what happened? Speaker 2: The screen went blank! Speaker 1: No, I mean what activity were you doing when the problem occurred. Your computer was on, I presume. You were working. Right? What did you do immediately before the blank screen appeared. Were you using the internet? Speaker 2: Yes, I was. Is it a virus? Speaker 1: That seems likely. What antivirus software are you using? Speaker 2: Uhh….I'm not sure. How embarrassing. Speaker 1: Never mind. I'll have to come and have a look at your computer. Speaker 2: Okay, that's great. Speaker 1: All right. Let's see. What about tomorrow morning about 10:00? Speaker 2: Oh, no. That won't do, I'm afraid. I've got a very important project on the computer that absolutely must be finished and handed in by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, by 10 it's too late, I'm afraid. Can't you come now? Speaker 1: Well, I'm at a job at the moment and my wife and kids are expecting me home by 8:00 for dinner. Speaker 2: Can you at least suggest someone else who can work? I know it's Sunday evening. But surely there's somebody, I mean people have emergencies! I've been calling numbers in the phone book. And you're the only one out of about twelve that even answered. Speaker 1: Just a moment. Don't Panic. Where are you located? Speaker 2: I'm in the Morningside area. Speaker 1: Well, you're in luck. I have to pass your area on my way home anyway. Now I should be finished here by half past seven. So what about around 7:45, is that okay? Speaker 2: That's great. Thank you. Speaker 1: What's your address? Speaker 2: 14, Branston Crescent 2F3. Speaker 1: That's B-R-A-N-I-S-T. Speaker 2: Nope. Sorry. B-R-A-N-S-T-O-N Crescent.
3 Speaker 1: Oh, all right, and your name? Speaker 2: Sandra Sarrencen, that's S-A-R-R-E-N-C-E-N. Speaker 1: And the name on the buzzer? Speaker 2: The same. Speaker 1: All right, I'll be there shortly. Speaker 2: Thanks. Can I ask you how much it's going to cost? Speaker 1: Certainly. My call-out fee is 60 pounds and that covers the first hour’s work. And after that the fee is 40 pounds an hour. Speaker 2: Gosh, that's rather expensive. How long do you think it will take? Speaker 1: If we’re lucky it will be fairly quick. Honestly, though, if it takes much more than half an hour, I'll have to finish it tomorrow morning. But I doubt that will happen. Speaker 2: I hope not. Will you take a check or do you prefer cash? Speaker 1: A check is fine. Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll be waiting. Speaker 1: Okay. Bye. II. You will hear the news about Japan's Mt. Fuji.

Fuji from destruction D. Those who cause altitude sickness and hypothermia TRANSCRIPT Japan's Mt. Fuji's UNESCO World Heritage status is under threat due to over-tourism. The iconic peak was listed as a world heritage site in 2013. However, a spike in the number of tourists scaling the majestic mountain is threatening that listing. Japan is experiencing a post-covid tourist boom, and many visitors are making a beeline for Fuji-san's climbing trails. Mt. Fuji is so sacred in Japan that many Japanese hope to climb it at least once in their lives. The burgeoning number of climbers is causing environmental damage on the slopes. Litter is strewn across the volcanic ash, and large parking lots have been constructed to accommodate tourists. These are an eyesore on the mountain's once-pristine habitat. A local official told reporters that: "Fuji faces a real crisis. Tourism has become uncontrollable, and we fear that Mt. Fuji will soon become so unattractive, nobody would want to climb it." He added: "Fuji-san is screaming in pain. We can't just wait for improvement; we need to tackle over-tourism now." The mountain's fifth base station has seen a 50 per cent jump in visitors since 2013, with about four million visitors this summer. Another headache for local authorities is "bullet climbers". These are people who attempt to ascend and descend Fuji in 24 hours. They risk getting altitude sickness and hypothermia. The official climbing season ended on Sunday, giving Fuji a respite from further damage. III. You will hear a radio program.
