Part 1: Listen to a conversation between a boy called Jamie and a girl called Miranda and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). (5 pts) _____T_____ 1. Miranda accepts what her sister's side of the room looks like. _____F_____ 2. Jamie complains that his brother refuses to share his electronic equipment. _____T_____ 3. Miranda is annoyed about some things that her sister tells their mother. _____T_____ 4. Miranda was surprised that she felt lonely when her sister was away. _____F_____ 5. Despite sharing a bedroom, Jamie finds he can still easily do his homework. TRANSCRIPT Jamie:   Hi, Miranda. How are you? Miranda:   Hi, Jamie. I’m fine! I’m helping Mum paint my bedroom at home – the one I share with my younger sister. Jamie:   Oh, how’s it going? Miranda:   Not well – we can’t agree! My sister and I both have got our own side of the room, and they’re completely different! I mean, my side’s blue, with pop posters all over the wall. But her side’s pink, with dolls and stuff. Not my thing at all really, but as I said, she is younger than me – and it looks OK, I guess. Jamie:   Mmm – well, I share with my brother Max, but as he’s older than me, I get to use lots of things that my parents don’t really want me to have, because they say I’m not old enough. But he lets me use his laptop, music player … everything! Miranda:   Wow! Now, if that was my little sister, she’d probably go and report it to our mum, and I’d get into trouble! That happens sometimes. Then my sister and I have an argument! Jamie:   Oh? That doesn’t happen with Max and me … Miranda:   No? Well, apart from that, I get on OK with my sister, really. To be honest, she went camping with her school last week, and I really missed her. I found it wasn’t so nice being in our room on my own. I hadn’t expected that.
Jamie:   I know what you mean. My brother’s going to university soon, and the room will seem really empty. Still, at least I’ll be able to get on with my homework in peace – it’s hard at the moment, as he’s often in the room, too. Miranda:   Well, my sister likes playing outside, so it’s OK. But then when she’s not there, there’s no-one to talk to about my problems. She’s really good at listening if she knows I’m worried about something, even though she can’t help. Jamie:   Mmm, my brother’s the same. We wouldn’t do that if we didn’t share rooms. Miranda:   No … so sharing does have good points … Part 2: Listen and choose the correct answer A, B or C. (5 pts) 6. Students entering the design competition have to __________. A. produce an energy-efficient design B. adapt an existing energy-saving appliance C. develop a new user for current technology 7. John chose a dishwasher because he wanted to make dishwashers __________. A. more appealing B. more common C. more economical 8. The stone in John's "Rockpool" design is used __________. A. for decoration B. to switch it on C. to stop water escaping 9. In the holding chamber, the carbon dioxide __________. A. changes back to a gas B. dries the dishes C. is allowed to cool 10. At the end of the cleaning process, the carbon dioxide __________. A. is released into the air B. is disposed of with the waste C. is collected ready to be re-used TRANSCRIPT JOHN:                   Erm … hello Professor, I’m John Wishart. I’m working on my entry for the Global Design Competition. My tutor said you might be able to help me with it. PROFESSOR:       Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. Come in and tell me about it. What sort of competition is it? JOHN:                   Well, it’s an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen appliance. PROFESSOR:       I see, and are there any special conditions? Does it have to save energy for example? JOHN:                   Actually that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have to adopt an innovative approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before. PROFESSOR:       I see, that sounds tricky. And what kitchen appliance have you chosen? JOHN:                   Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost identical to each other. I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for
something that looks different. PROFESSOR:       That’s a nice idea. I see you’ve called your design ‘the Rockpool’; why is that? JOHN:                   Basically because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass so that you can look down into it. PROFESSOR:       And there’s a stone at the bottom. Is that just for decoration? JOHN:                   Actually it does have a function. Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone. PROFESSOR:       So it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher. JOHN:                   That’s right. PROFESSOR:       It’s a really nice design, but what makes it innovative? JOHN:                   Well, I decided to make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide. PROFESSOR:       In place of water and detergent? How will you manage that? JOHN:                   The idea is to pressurize the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid. The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself. PROFESSOR:       Sounds like a brilliant idea! Your system will totally do away with the need for strong detergents. So what happens once the dishes are clean? JOHN:                   Well, to allow them to dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber. That’s where the liquid is depressurised and so it reverts to a gas. Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent to the waste system. PROFESSOR:       It sounds like you’ve thought it all out very thoroughly. So, what happens to the carbon dioxide once the process is complete? Not wasted I hope. JOHN:                   Actually, that’s where the real savings are made. The carbon dioxide is sent back to the cylinder and can be used again and again. PROFESSOR:       What a terrific idea. Do you think it will ever be built? JOHN:                   Probably not, but that’s OK. PROFESSOR:       Well, I’m sure a lot of positive things will come out of your design.

We’ll begin with some basics. Firstly, what do we lean by studying geography? Well, we learn a great deal about all the processes that have affected and that continue to affect the earth’s surface. But we learn far more than that, because studying geography also informs us about the different kinds of  relationship that develop between a particular environment and the people that live there. Okay. We like to think of geography as having to main branches. There’s the study of the nature of our planet – its physical features, what it actually looks like – and then there’s the study of the ways in which we choose to live and of the impact of those on our planet. Our current use of carbon fuels is a good example of that. But there are more specific study areas to consider too, and we’ll be looking at each of these in turn throughout this semester. These include bio-physical geography, by which I mean the study of the natural environment and all its living things. Then there’s topography – that looks at the shapes of the land and oceans. There’s the study of political geography and social geography too, of course, which is the study of  communities of people. We have economics – in which we examine all kinds of resource and their use – agriculture, for example. Next comes historical geography – the understanding of how people and their environments and the ways they interact have changed over a period of time – and urban geography, an aspect I’m particularly interested in, which takes as its focus the location of cities. And lastly, we have cartography. That’s the art and science of map-making. You’ll be doing a  lot of that! So, to summarise before we continue, we now have our key answer…studying this subject is important because
