TRANSCRIPT Good morning everyone. So today we're going to look at an important creative activity and that's hand knitting. Ancient knitted garments have been found in many different countries, showing that knitting is a global activity with a long history. When someone says the word 'knitting' we might well picture an elderly person - a grandmother perhaps -
2 sitting by the fire knitting garments for themselves or other members of the family. It's a homely image, but one that may lead you to feel that knitting is an activity of the past - and, indeed, during the previous decade, it was one of the skills that was predicted to vanish from everyday life. For although humans have sewn and knitted their own clothing for a very long time, many of these craft- based skills went into decline when industrial machines took over - mainly because they were no longer passed down from one generation to another. However, that's all changing and interest in knitting classes in many countries is actually rising, as more and more people are seeking formal instruction in the skill. With that trend, we're also seeing an increase in the sales figures for knitting equipment. So why do people want to be taught to knit at a time when a machine can readily do the job for them? The answer is that knitting, as a handicraft, has numerous benefits for those doing it. Let's consider what some of these might be. While many people knitted garments in the past because they couldn't afford to buy clothes, it's still true today that knitting can be helpful if you're experiencing economic hardship. If you have several children who all need warm winter clothes, knitting may save you a lot of money. And the results of knitting your own clothes can be very rewarding, even though the skills you need to get going are really quite basic and the financial outlay is minimal. But the more significant benefits in today's world are to do with well-being. In a world where it's estimated that we spend up to nine hours a day online, doing something with our hands that is craft-based makes us feel good. It releases us from the stress of a technological, fast-paced life. Now, let's look back a bit to early knitting activities. In fact, no one really knows when knitting first began, but archaeological remains have disclosed plenty of information for us to think about. One of the interesting things about knitting is that the earliest pieces of clothing that have been found suggest that most of the items produced were round rather than flat. Discoveries from the 3rd and 4th centuries in Egypt show that things like socks and gloves, that were needed to keep hands and feet warm, were knitted in one piece using four or five needles. That's very different from most knitting patterns today, which only require two. What's more, the very first needles people used were hand carved out of wood and other natural materials, like bone, whereas today's needles are largely made of steel or plastic and make that characteristic clicking sound when someone's using them. Ancient people knitted using yarns made from linen, hemp, cotton and wool, and these were often very rough on the skin. The spinning wheel, which allowed people to make finer yarns and produce much greater quantities of them, led to the dominance of wool in the knitting industry-often favoured for its warmth. Another interesting fact about knitting is that because it was practised in so many parts of the world for so many purposes, regional differences in style developed. This visual identity has allowed researchers to match bits of knitted clothing that have been unearthed over time to the region from which the wearer came or the job that he or she did.
3 As I've mentioned, knitting offered people from poor communities a way of making extra money while doing other tasks. For many centuries, it seems, men, women and children took every opportunity to knit, for example, while watching over sheep, walking to market or riding in boats. So, let's move on to take a ... Part 2. You will hear an interview in which two journalism students, called Matthew and Tracy, are talking about fact and opinion in the news. Decide the following statements are True (T) or False (F). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10 points) 6. Matthew believes telling fact from opinion is hard because people may be unfamiliar with the background to a news story. T 7. Matthew and Tracy were both impressed by an article they read about transport. F 8. Matthew feels worried about writing factual articles in case he misleads readers. F 9. Tracy point out that the public prefer video to photos when reporting news. T 10. Matthew’s style of writing when expressing his opinion is inspired by a contemporary novelist. F TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: Matthew and Tracy, thank you for taking part in our series of discussions on journalism and the news. In particular, I’m interested in what you have to say about how news consumers, whether they watch TV or read newspapers, recognise if they’re being presented with facts or a journalist’s opinion. Matthew? Matthew: That’s a very good question and, actually, I think it’s often hard for the average news consumer to know what’s fact and what’s opinion. As journalism students, we’ve spent quite a bit of our course, a whole module, on this area. In the first part of the module, we looked at how the news is changing – people get soundbites, just quick headlines online, if you like. And, of course, increasingly, people use their phones while they’re travelling or waiting for something, as a way to keep in touch with the news at any time. But, unless they know and understand what has led up to an event, telling fact from fiction in the news is a challenge for them. However, on the positive side, many people get their news from several different media and that means they have a greater chance of getting a balanced view. Interviewer: Now, I understand you put together a questionnaire to ask people if they were aware of when they were getting facts and when they were getting opinions from the news. Tell us about that, Tracy. Tracy: Well, it was a very useful exercise because we had to really think about what we understood by the word fact ourselves first! Anyway, we drafted our questionnaire and tried it out on some other students on our course. We realised that asking open questions was problematic because the answers were so long, so we abandoned those and stuck to multiple-choice questions. And even then, I cut those from four choices to three to make the whole thing more manageable.
4 Interviewer: And I see your findings showed that most people were not that sure whether they were reading facts or opinions. Matthew: No, so then we had to find an article that was a good example, I mean where it was clear whether it was giving facts or opinions. And, we read about a dozen before we found a really good one. I read one about the railways and even within one sentence there was a mixture of fact and opinion. Tracy: Yes, it was puzzling, just like the one on class sizes. But one I read on plastic in the oceans was obviously factual because it gave statistics. Matthew: And said where those data came from. I loved the one about football too, but it wasn’t that well written. Tracy: And, despite its enthusiasm, it actually said very little. Interviewer: So, what did you do next on your module? Matthew: We had to write a factual article. I always feel apprehensive about doing that. I got some quite negative feedback from my tutor for the first one I wrote, even though my peers thought I’d researched it thoroughly. I’m getting better at it with each one I write, but I still wake up at night concerned that I might not have checked everything carefully enough and there’s some error somewhere. That can easily happen and OK, readers probably won’t get hold of the wrong end of the stick because of that, but it’s just not professional. Tracy: But can I just say something about photos and video? I think that lots of people mistrust photos now because it’s so easy to manipulate them. So a photo in a newspaper doesn’t always support or enhance what a journalist has written. Video seems to be what most people favour when there’s a choice between the two. The extent to which news has visuals depends largely on the type of publication or news channel. Interviewer: Do you think there’s more scope for developing your own style when you write opinion articles rather than factual ones? Matthew: Definitely, I love that. I’m quite a chatty sort of person and I like it when I can write an article that stems from a conversation I’ve had or even sometimes just overheard. The reason I admire the author Brenda McGovern is her ability to make conversation sound so real. I heard her speak recently at a book fair and she was tremendous. You can’t always write in a chatty style, though, because if the subject’s something quite serious, you have to adapt so that the language is appropriate. Interviewer: Well, thank you both … Part 3. You will hear an interview in which two entrepreneurs, called Charles and Betty, are talking about their experience of setting up a business when they were young. Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which fits best according to what you hear. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10pts)
