This Is the Thames Examinations June 2008 Level Eight Listening Test Audioscript for Level 8A and Level 8B Listening Test (June 2008) This is the Thames Examinations June 2008 Level Eight listening test. There are two parts to the test – part one and part two – and there are twenty questions. Please write your answers on the question paper. There will now be a sound check. Please raise your hand if the sound is too quiet (pause). Now we will begin. Part One. Listen to a radio interview and tick TRUE or FALSE. You will hear the interview twice. You now have half a minute to read the questions (30 second gap). I = Interviewer AW = Alan Weaver I – Good morning to all our ABC Radio listeners and a very warm welcome to Alan Weaver, former top striker and captain of Newcastle United Football Club. Good morning, Alan. AW – Good morning. I – Thanks for coming onto the show today to tell us about your charity work in one of Africa’s poorest countries – Uganda. AW – It’s a pleasure. I – Alan, can you start by telling us why you went to Uganda? AW – Yes. It was part of this year’s Sport Relief fundraising effort. I wanted to show people in the UK why places such as Uganda so desperately need our money. It’s a country where one million children have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS and life expectancy is 49 years old, compared to 79 in the UK. I – Tell us a bit more about what you saw and did in the slums of Kampala, the capital. AW – Well, I should start by saying that what I saw will stay with me forever. Seeing the way people live in this day and age in a place like Kampala puts everything into perspective. A problem in your life in the UK is nothing when you put it up against the day to day reality of how some people are forced to exist. There really is no comparison. I – I believe that you met an incredibly brave woman while you were in Kampala, called Grace? AW – Yes, that’s right. She’s the last surviving member of a family of eleven. She’s lost brothers, sisters and a husband to HIV/AIDS and now lives with five children, all under ten years old. Some are hers and some are the children of her dead relatives. She’s 48 and has HIV/AIDS too, so she’s in constant pain and can’t get out of bed. The oldest of the five children, Fiona, who’s only ten, has been forced to leave school and take complete responsibility for the family because Grace is now so ill. I – So, how exactly can Sport Relief money help people like Grace and her family? 1 www.thames-exams.co.uk AW – Well, if one person in the UK is sponsored to run the Sport Relief Mile, the money raised will pay for the special drugs that people like Grace need to stay alive longer. It’ll also pay for food and schooling. It’s at school that children learn about HIV/AIDS and its prevention, so schooling is critical in the fight against this terrible disease. I – Were there any good moments while you were there? AW – Yes. I played a 30-minute game of football with some children whose parents had died of AIDS. The kids and I really enjoyed ourselves and the game was shown on national TV, which was great publicity for Sport Relief. I – So what do you plan to do next, Alan? AW – I’m going to do a sponsored cycle ride from Newcastle to London to raise money for Sport Relief. It’s going to be tough as it means covering 335 miles in just two days. I – Well, we wish you luck and thank you for taking the time to talk to us today. AW – Thanks. No problem. You now have one minute to check your answers (60 second gap). Now listen again. I – Good morning to all our ABC Radio listeners and a very warm welcome to Alan Weaver, former top striker and captain of Newcastle United Football Club. Good morning, Alan. AW – Good morning.

Listen to a talk called ‘London’s Street Markets’ and complete the sentence, table and paragraph. You will hear the talk twice. You now have half a minute to read the questions (30 second gap). Hello, everyone. The title of my talk this afternoon is ‘London’s Street Markets’. Put up your hand if you’ve already been to one (…pause…). Mmmm, quite a lot of you. Well, I’m not surprised as they’re the best free shows in London. They’re theatrical, colourful, noisy, sometimes smelly, multi-cultural, historical and contemporary and they’re full of interesting characters and things. They’re also a great place to go on a Sunday as that’s the day when all of London’s street markets are open. For the ultimate London street market experience, the place to go is the Liverpool Street area on a Sunday morning, where there are four distinctly different markets within walking distance of each other. The first of these is Petticoat Lane, where you’ll find racks of leather jackets, cut-price fashions, fake designer-label wear, silky underwear and cloth – all a legacy of the clothing trade established by Jewish and French protestant refugees in the 17th Century. 3 www.thames-exams.co.uk Moving on to Brick Lane, you’ll find yourself in the heart of London’s Bangladeshi community. Brick Lane market is famous for second-hand furniture, cheap antiques and old tools. There are also fruit and vegetable stalls and many curry restaurants serving delicious Bangladeshi dishes. As you walk along Brick Lane, the smell of spices is incredible. A bit further on from Brick Lane is Columbia Road Flower Market, where you can smell the scent of a million flowers. As well as flowers, you can buy potted plants and even trees. Londoners love this market as much as their balconies and gardens and they can buy all they need for them in Columbia Road. The last of the four markets in this part of London is Spitalfields, which is just around the corner from the flower market. Spitalfields is an old covered market and used to be the place to buy fruit and vegetables. These days, though, it’s famous for organic food, including wonderful bread and cakes, second-hand books, old postcards and posters, handicrafts and clothes.

  • The Emory Student Guide to Queen Mary University Meet the Author
    The Emory Student Guide to Queen Mary University Meet the Author Emily Gaines (‘16C ) My name is Emily Gaines and I am a history major and a sociology minor. I studied abroad at Queen Mary University, University of London (QMUL) in the fall of 2014. I’ve compiled this guide with some general information about the university and its application process, as well as what to expect once you arrive in London. I hope you find it helpful! Queen Mary at a Glance Address: Mile End Road London E1 4NS Nearest Underground Stations: Mile End (Hammersmith & City, District and Central lines) Stepney Green (District and Hammersmith & City lines) Total Enrollment: 20,260 Undergraduates: 13,240 Study Abroad Students: ~ 300 per semester Number of Countries Represented: 151 Why Choose Queen Mary? Queen Mary, University of London is located in the East end of London and offers programs in business, social sciences, natural sciences, arts, engineering and mathematical sciences. As an Emory student, you’re prepared for the academic rigor of Queen Mary’s courses. QMUL is the largest self-contained campus in inner London and has a highly diverse study body. The majority of first year and study abroad students live on campus, making it easy to settle in and meet new people. Classes are only a short walk from your flat too! Financing Your Study Abroad Experience During your time abroad, you will remain enrolled as a full-time Emory student and as such, you will continue to pay Emory tuition. The difference between cost of attendance at Emory and in London is the living costs.

Located in Bermondsey Square, a stone’s throw from The Shard, the market boasts 200-odd stalls, now also including food, fashion and craft. Dealers frequent the market knowing it is the best place to find quality antiques and interesting artefacts and every visitor who makes a bargain deal will understand why they keep it a secret. Discover timeless antique china alongside Victorian photos, rare furniture with mystic engravings and perfect retro decor for your home. And if you are in the market for glassware, these age-old streets will certainly also provide. But, be warned, arrive early; deals are done quickly and vendors begin packing away in the afternoon.
