LISTENING (50 points) Part 1: For questions 1-5, listen to a talk about office life and decide whether these statements are True (T), False (F) or Not Given (NG). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10 points) 1. Antony Slumbers believed that employee productivity was the reason for the establishment of the office. T 2. Open-plan offices were characterized by constant distraction and work inefficiency. T 3. Unexpected meetings have yet to be proven to foster sudden inspiration or recognition. F 4. Lack of monitoring from bosses is assumed to obstruct straightforward exchange. F 5. Some research has pointed out that firms opting out of rigidity tend to draw the best workforce. NG TRANSCRIPT Office workers will look back at 2020 as something of a tipping point in the world of work. Largely, workers proved to their employers that they could get their jobs done from home. So what does the future hold for the office? 80% of people who worked from home during the lockdown say they'd like to continue working at least one day from home in the future. Meanwhile, two out of three of us say that we're longing to return to the office in some form. In other words, we want to have our cake and eat it. We want the best parts of the office and the best parts of working from home. The workplace property expert, Anthony Slumbers, said no firm ever wanted an office. They wanted productive employees. And the office was just one way to create that. Over the last few years, many companies had moved to open plan offices. Well, the promise was that we would be let loose in vast workplace
2 savannas, free to meet and bounce ideas off each other. In fact, open plan offices tended to make us feel like we were constantly interrupted and unable to get anything done. We've realised offices are good for some things. The office had something called a network effect. So, those chance encounters, bumping into colleagues and sharing thoughts just casually that we're finding so difficult to replace. And there seems to be some pretty good evidence that our best, our most productive moments happen in these chance encounters. Professor Sandy Pentland from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says the reason why these conversations are so effective is that these are the moments that we don't find ourselves supervised by our bosses. We feel free to have honest discussions. So, if the office was good for a few things, and the top one, chatting to colleagues, is the one we're struggling to replace, what's the answer? Maybe your firm will join something that's starting to be called the TW&T revolution. Where workers work from the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but from home on Mondays and Fridays. And no doubt in time, someone will come up with a catchy name for people who work like this. Other firms are being still more adventurous, saying they want to free up workers to do their work whenever they feel most productive. They're adopting what's being known as asynchronous working. When we do something synchronously, it means we're coordinated in time. Like this women's relay at the Olympics. Asynchronous work says, how about we allow people to give their feedback or their ideas whenever they're feeling most inspired? Companies who do this say it allows workers the flexibility to take their kids to school or even do leisure activities. And this is what the asynchronous working firms believe will attract the best workers to come to work for them. Expect to hear a lot more of the word hybrid. At the more adventurous end of hybrid, some firms are even talking about only getting their employees together one week a quarter. Meaning that almost certainly they don't need an office. More than anything, one thing seems increasingly certain. For many office workers, the era of getting up every day and going to the same place seems to be a thing of the past. And the question is, will you miss it? Part 2: For question 6-10, you will hear a student called Mara Barnes giving a presentation about the language of the Piraha people who live in the Amazon basin. Answer the following questions with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS. Write your answers in the space provided. (10 points) 6. According to Mara, why isn’t the language of the Piraha under imminent threat? People speaking/using it are monolingual. 7. According to Professor Everrett, what idea does the Piraha language have no words for? Colour or number 8. What part of speech of the Piraha language is thought to have originated in another local language? Pronoun(s)
3 9. According to Mara, what does the Piraha language sound like? Humming than speech 10. What expression does Mara use to describe her attitude towards Professor Everett’s theory of language? (Keeping) (an) open mind TRANSCRIPT Hi. My name’s Mara Barnes and the subject of my presentation this evening is an amazing tribe of people who live deep in the Amazon rainforest on the banks of the river. They are called the Piraha and there’s about four hundred of them living in a scattering of small villages. The thing about the Piraha is that, as well as living what we would term a hunter-gatherer lifestyle – that is they’re not engaged in agriculture or animal husbandry, but live off the bounty of the forest environment – these people have a unique language, that’s been studied by an ethnologist from the University of Manchester called Professor Everett over a twenty-five-year period. Although the number of Piraha speakers is small, the language cannot be described as endangered because most of its speakers are monolingual and have little contact with other language groups. Similarly, few outsiders understand anything of Piraha, which isn’t related to other existing languages. So the first thing that Everett had to do was learn the language himself. From his first steps on Piraha land in 1977, Everett knew the tribe was remarkable. As far as he could tell, the language had no words capable of conveying basic ideas like colour, although words for light and dark existed, or more significantly counting. If this were true, then the language would be unique – the world's only known language without numbers. A series of experiments, using items that the tribe were familiar with, like batteries, established this to be the case. But the Piraha had access to Brazil nuts and were keen to set up trading relations with neighbouring tribes, so Everett set out to try and teach some of them to count – with little success. It seemed that in their everyday lives, these people had no need of numerical skills, and so couldn’t even grasp the concept of number. Everett had to wait months before coming to these conclusions, however, so indecipherable was the language. It’s a kind of sing-song communication which some have compared to singing, but which to my mind has more in common with humming than with the spoken word, and whistling is also an important feature in communications in the jungle. Linguists have studied the structure of the language and found that despite a very limited set of vowels and consonants and a lack of complicated grammar, many ideas are conveyed through variations in pitch, stress and rhythm. Although Piraha does have a set of personal pronouns, these seem to have been imported from a neighbouring language, rather than being an original feature, and the language has no perfect tense or way of reporting ideas such as ‘Mary said that John thought that Henry was happy.’ What are known as recursive sentences by linguists. Because there’s no written version of Piraha, very few storytelling traditions and no tradition of decorative art, the tribe seems to have a complete lack of what’s known as a collective memory – in other words there’s little
4 sense of history as people are focussed on their current needs. The Piraha aren’t interested in either the distant past or the distant future, so don’t have the language to express ideas related to those time periods. Having lived with the Piraha for many years, however, Everett disputes the idea that they’re intellectually inferior to other peoples. He points to their remarkable sense of direction as a skill that he himself has been unable to learn from them, and says that their knowledge of local plants and animals and their behaviour patterns is encyclopaedic. Everett’s study of the Piraha is important for a number of reasons. Clearly, they’re a fascinating people, but, most significantly, they call into question some of the most important twentieth-century theories regarding the link between language and thought – not least Professor Chomsky’s ideas about a universal grammar that we all share. The evidence of the Piraha would seem to suggest that this is not the case. Everett believes that it is the Piraha’s culture that determines their language structure, rather than an innate system of grammar. As they have no need to express certain ideas, then their language hasn’t developed them. It’s a compelling argument, but like most people I’m keeping an open mind. Piraha is such a difficult language to learn that few people have been able either to corroborate or refute Professor Everett’s ideas. For the moment, at least, the secrets of the Piraha remain safely hidden in the depths of the jungle. Now before I go on to...
