You're going to listen to a radio report about a new type of air transport. Fill in each gap with NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER taken from the recording. (10.0 points) Seymour Powell, a (1) ______London-based______ company, is working on a new mode of travelling, the Aircruise, which is supposed to take (2) ______37 hours______ to reach New York from London. The guest speaker, Mark argues that the underlying cause behind this idea is that passengers are fed up with travelling on a (3) ______small, crowded______ passenger jet. Instead, they prefer something which can bring them (4) ______comfort and style______. The huge Aircruise is designed to be (5) ______kite-shaped______ and can fly at a very low height. It will run on (6) ______Hydrogen______ as this type of fuel is silent and (7) ______pollution free______. Mark insists that the Aircruise is more sustainable and kinder to the environment thanks to the advent of modern technology. Passengers will no longer be (8) ______pinned______ in their seats, but walk around the luxurious airship which is equipped with a bar, (9) ______ private apartments______ and a glass floor. It will depart from (10) ______special landing pads______, not the normal airports to ensure the flight's safety. TRANSCRIPT Interviewer:  These days we all know that time is money.  People don’t want to waste a moment of their lives travelling when they could be working, or let’s face it, relaxing on holiday.  So with this in mind, why is the London-based company Seymour Powell working on a new form of transport which will go from London to New York in 37 hours, when we can already get there in seven?  With me here in the studio is Mark Baker.  Mark, why on earth would anyone want to travel so slowly? Mark: Well, the company Seymour Powell have come up with the idea that ‘slow is the new fast’.  It’s true that people traditionally want to get to their destination as quickly as possible, but I think everyone would agree that there is nothing pleasant about flying in a small, crowded passenger jet.  That’s why this company has developed the Aircruise concept.  It aims to carry people to their destination in comfort and style. Interviewer: Rather like the old ocean liners. Mark: You could say that. Interviewer: So what is an Aircruise?  Is it a type of plane?
2 Mark: No it’s not.  It is proposed that the Aircruise will be a huge kite-shaped airship.  It will fly at 12,000 feet, but it would be able to fly at just a few hundred feet above the ground if there was something interesting to see on the ground. Interviewer: It sounds like a sort of luxurious hot air balloon. Mark: Well the plan is that it will be powered, not by hot air, but another type of air.  Hydrogen.  Hydrogen is capable of lifting weights of 1.2 kg per cubic metre, and you can also use hydrogen fuel to provide on-board power and drinking water.  With hydrogen as the fuel, you’d be able to reach speeds of around ninety miles per hour.  It would be pollution free, and what’s more, it’d be completely silent! Interviewer: It reminds me of those airships they had back in the 1930s. Mark: Zeppelins Interviewer: That’s right.  Weren’t they very dangerous? Mark: They were rather, and after the famous Hindenburg disaster, in May 1937 which killed 35 of the 97 people on board.  But technology has moved on a good deal since then, and scientists are looking at ways that we can create transport options that are more sustainable and kinder to the environment. Interviewer: So you mentioned that this Aircruise was going to be a luxurious form of transport.  Why is that?  What sort of luxuries can a passenger expect? Mark: Well, first of all it won’t be full of people.  One Aircruise ship will carry just 100 people.  There’ll also be plenty of staff to attend to your every need.  They’re estimating that there’ll be one crew member for every five people!  Thirdly, you won’t be pinned in your seat for the entire journey.  You’ll be able to walk around.  There’s to be a bar, private apartments and even a glass floor so that you can see the view beneath your feet! Interviewer: Gosh, I don’t know if I fancy that! Mark: No, me neither! Interviewer: And would these airships depart from airports? Mark: No, I think that would be very dangerous!  No, the plan is that they would build special landing pads.  Compared to airports, these are much smaller, so the airships would be able to land much closer to urban centres. Interviewer: So, this Aircruise idea.  Is it just an idea, or is it actually going into production? Mark: Well, that’s hard to say at this stage, but the company is certainly gaining a lot of attention.  One of the major Korean electrical goods companies is showing a lot of interest and providing some funding.  So there is some talk that this dream could be realised in as little as five years’ time. Interviewer: So in the future we’ll all be gliding slowly to our holiday destinations, while drinking beers at the bar then? Mark: You will if you can afford it!  I don’t expect that these new airships will be cheap! Interviewer: Well, thank you very much, Mark Baker.  Now it’s time for ...

Dealing with schoolwork TRANSCRIPT (P = Presenter; L = Leanne) P: Today we’ve invited into the studio a university student in her final year, Leanne Wilson, to give tips on surviving those first few weeks. Were you nervous about going off to university, Leanne? L: In a way. I’d been really looking forward to it but my main worry was that I didn’t know anyone. P: But you made friends fairly quickly? L: Oh, absolutely. Many of my friends initially were on my course but you’ve got to be careful you don’t stick
4 with just them all the time – you really miss out if you do. And try and be open-minded. Just because people don’t speak to you doesn’t mean they’re unfriendly. They could just be shy. The main thing is to get involved with anything and everything. Even if you can’t play tennis to save your life, have a go. Join the Scrabble club, drama society, whatever – just so you meet a wide variety of people. P: Which clubs did you join? L: Well, that’s the silly thing. I didn’t! And I really wish I’d taken more advantage of the social life in that first week and enjoyed myself more. I think I was a bit scared of getting left behind in my work – when, really, that shouldn’t be a priority at first. I didn’t have a lot of cash to splash around either. But the thing is, you have to remember that it won’t be such a social whirl for the whole term – things do calm down and you won’t be spending money like this all the time. The first week you need to get out and enjoy yourself and not worry about it. P: While we’re on the subject of money, how did you manage on your student budget? L: Well, some people choose to save on food and accommodation by living at home. I live quite near York, so that was an option but I felt it was important to stand on my own two feet, so I was in a hall of residence for my first year. My parents didn’t put any pressure on me either way but it was tough at first because our family is quite close. It was the right thing to do for me to leave, though. P: So did you have to get an evening job in York? L: The thing is, with my subject, the workload is very high, so a job would mean very little time for a social life. So I just cut costs by sharing books with friends, shopping in charity shops, eating cheaply, that kind of thing. Although I do get a job in the holidays at home, so I can save up. P: And is going to lectures very different from being at school? L: It is, really. Where I went wrong at first was trying to write down every word the lecturer was saying and not really listening. In fact, you can normally get the notes online later anyway, so it’s really not worth it – unless it helps you concentrate. Some of my friends don’t bother going much at all, actually, but personally, I think that –even though you only get a basic overview in an hour – it makes you aware of the main areas that you need to read around. P: Is it difficult to get used to structuring your day? L: I found it’s very easy to waste time unless you’re disciplined. It’s not that you aren’t interested in the subject but life has a habit of getting in the way and it’s tempting to stay in bed late and have a coffee with friends instead of getting stuck into what you have to do. P: I can imagine! And the worst aspect of university life? L: Mmm ... I thought it would be the cooking and washing and so on but that’s not been too bad – although I do appreciate my mum more in the holidays! Probably, it’s getting totally stressed as the work piles up. To be fair, that’s only at certain times of year – exam times – but terms are short, so it feels as if it happens more.
