　　[00:23.46]TEST 6

　　[00:25.13]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:28.45]In this section

　　[00:29.37]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:31.56]You will hear the mini-lecture

　　[00:33.14]ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:34.47]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:36.29]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:38.37]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:40.85]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:42.57]for each gap.

　　[00:47.53]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:50.28]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:52.64]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:54.19]for note-taking.

　　[00:55.91]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:57.20]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:29.71]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:31.80]When it is over,

　　[01:33.05]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:34.49]to check your work.

　　[01:36.60]The Difference

　　[01:37.33]Between Spoken and Written English

　　[01:40.53]Good morning everyone,

　　[01:42.04]today's lecture

　　[01:42.93]is about the difference

　　[01:43.99]between spoken and written English.

　　[01:47.05]Speech and writing are

　　[01:48.46]two independent methods

　　[01:50.00]of communication.

　　[01:51.75]Speech is

　　[01:52.70]〝the oral medium of transmission

　　[01:54.67]of language,

　　[01:56.01]i.e. the spoken language〞.

　　[01:58.39]Writing involves marking a surface

　　[02:00.41]with words

　　[02:01.23]that convey one's thoughts

　　[02:02.62]and ideas and as Crystal remarks,

　　[02:06.12]〝Written English has provided

　　[02:07.48]the standard that society values,

　　[02:10.52]and its relative permanence

　　[02:12.06]and worldwide circulation

　　[02:14.17]have given it a very special place

　　[02:16.30]with the life of the community.〞

　　[02:18.52]Every language learner

　　[02:19.97]aspires to have a good grip

　　[02:21.87]and command over

　　[02:23.06]both spoken and written language.

　　[02:25.76]Failure in expressing either of them

　　[02:28.01]will render him ineffective

　　[02:29.51]and incomplete

　　[02:31.01]when it comes to

　　[02:31.85]acquiring language skills

　　[02:33.54]in the true sense of the word.

　　[02:35.74]Both forms of language,

　　[02:37.22]therefore, are very important.

　　[02:39.96]They differ from each other

　　[02:41.42]to a great extent.

　　[02:43.25]The following are

　　[02:44.13]some of the major differences

　　[02:45.94]in both spoken and written English.

　　[02:49.13]One difference that exists

　　[02:50.83]between speech and writing

　　[02:52.65]is the distinction

　　[02:53.84]between the phonic

　　[02:55.14]and the graphic substances.

　　[02:57.24]The former is the medium

　　[02:58.63]used in speech,

　　[03:00.24]where the vocal organs produce

　　[03:01.96]air-pressure movements.

　　[03:04.12]The latter is used in writing,

　　[03:06.35]which consists of the hand

　　[03:08.06]creating marks on a surface.

　　[03:10.55]However, this physical difference

　　[03:12.74]is not the only factor

　　[03:14.28]that distinguishes

　　[03:15.40]the two mediums.

　　[03:17.28]There are also differences

　　[03:19.24]such as the use of grammar

　　[03:20.67]and vocabulary

　　[03:22.31]which also differ

　　[03:23.61]according to whether the person

　　[03:25.07]is speaking or writing to

　　[03:26.80]convey information.

　　[03:28.73]On top of the above,

　　[03:30.52]spoken English is very informal

　　[03:33.13]while written English is formal.

　　[03:35.53]No punctuation

　　[03:36.51]is needed in spoken English

　　[03:38.35]because we are aided

　　[03:39.64]by facial expressions, gestures,

　　[03:42.12]and body language

　　[03:43.64]to express our meaning

　　[03:45.16]effectively and properly.

　　[03:47.37]On the other hand, written English

　　[03:49.34]is ineffective and handicapped

　　[03:51.77]without proper use of punctuation.

　　[03:54.79]Many speakers are bold

　　[03:56.34]and confident at the time

　　[03:57.77]of speaking.

　　[03:59.38]But most of them find themselves

　　[04:01.27]lacking in confidence

　　[04:02.77]and reluctant to write

　　[04:04.77]because they know

　　[04:05.84]that once they write,

　　[04:07.21]their words are recorded

　　[04:09.16]and they cannot defend themselves.

　　[04:11.61]Their mistakes

　　[04:12.46]are exposed in writing.

　　[04:14.47]In spoken English, there

　　[04:15.95]is no role of spelling.

　　[04:18.48]But spelling does

　　[04:19.44]play a very important role in writing.

　　[04:22.46]Many good speakers are

　　[04:23.55]found being a horrible speller

　　[04:25.72]of the word.

　　[04:27.03]Their spelling lowers their image

　　[04:28.92]and impression

　　[04:29.89]among their colleagues

　　[04:31.45]and their readers.

　　[04:32.43]Speakers often ignore

　　[04:33.87]some of the basic rules of grammar,

　　[04:36.61]for they are only interested

　　[04:38.16]in conveying their messages.

　　[04:41.02]They do not stick to the rules

　　[04:42.05]of grammar.

　　[04:44.04]On the other hand, writing

　　[04:45.46]is never accurate

　　[04:47.17]and impressive unless it is

　　[04:48.88]grammatically correct

　　[04:50.39]and error-free.

　　[04:52.06]Therefore, all the great

　　[04:53.49]and successful writers

　　[04:55.20]give grammar

　　[04:55.87]its due importance

　　[04:57.31]in their writings.

　　[04:58.94]Spelling is what creates problems

　　[05:00.88]for many writers,

　　[05:02.58]and in the same way pronunciation

　　[05:04.84]is a problem for many speakers.

　　[05:07.92]Many speakers find it difficult

　　[05:09.71]to pronounce the words correctly.

　　[05:12.81]They have to make efforts to

　　[05:14.21]learn correct pronunciation

　　[05:16.44]while writers have no such worries.

　　[05:19.51]Speech is time-based,

　　[05:20.93]active and does not last long.

　　[05:22.72]There is no time lag

　　[05:25.03]between production and reception,

　　[05:26.86]and given the spontaneity and speed

　　[05:29.48]with which speechis

　　[05:30.54]produced there

　　[05:32.02]is no time for planning.

　　[05:34.20]We usually think while talking

　　[05:35.91]and this results in looser construction,

　　[05:39.11]repetition, rephrasing

　　[05:41.03]and comment clauses

　　[05:42.87]such as 〝Jack is ugly, I think.〞

　　[05:45.38]Nevertheless,

　　[05:46.53]speech also contains loudness,

　　[05:48.69]tempo, rhythm,

　　[05:50.18]and other intonations and pauses

　　[05:52.77]that cannot be

　　[05:53.89]easily transmuted to the written form.

　　[05:56.79]Facial expressions

　　[05:57.99]and gestures often aid meaning

　　[06:00.13]as well as deictic expressions

　　[06:02.70]which refer directly to the situation.

　　[06:05.80]These features can all be

　　[06:07.29]contained in speech

　　[06:08.68]but are not written down

　　[06:10.08]with much effectiveness.

　　[06:12.08]Hearing and understanding

　　[06:13.56]spoken English

　　[06:14.62]can be more difficult

　　[06:16.15]than understanding written English

　　[06:17.99]for another very simple reason—

　　[06:20.85]written English usually does not come

　　[06:23.18]with an accent.

　　[06:24.79]The accent is different to dialect,

　　[06:27.32]although they often go together.

　　[06:29.71]English in the written form

　　[06:31.36]can take better advantage

　　[06:32.68]of dialect than of an accent.

　　[06:35.46]An accent will be the

　　[06:36.55]sound a speaker makes

　　[06:38.10]when using a specific set of words

　　[06:40.34]relating to the locality they

　　[06:42.16]were raised,

　　[06:43.37]but the words remain the same;

　　[06:45.66]a dialect

　　[06:46.57]is a pattern of language use

　　[06:48.24]that may substitute new words

　　[06:50.27]or meanings for existing words.

　　[06:53.07]Actually, written English

　　[06:54.54]is reasonably simple to master,

　　[06:57.15]especially if you are only going to

　　[06:59.46]use it in the written form.

　　[07:01.67]Spoken English is much harder

　　[07:03.31]to learn and use effectively.

　　[07:06.18]With so much difference

　　[07:07.42]between these two forms of English,

　　[07:10.05]it is the prime duty of everyone

　　[07:12.24]aspiring to become

　　[07:13.60]a good language learner

　　[07:15.51]to pay heed to both forms

　　[07:17.32]equally to have

　　[07:18.95]a good command over English.

　　[07:20.73]If one is able to do so,

　　[07:23.02]he is sure to win admiration

　　[07:25.11]and appreciation from his readers

　　[07:27.39]and listeners to a great extent.

　　[07:30.73]To conclude,

　　[07:31.90]a good language learner always

　　[07:33.86]respects the language

　　[07:35.24]he intends to learn.

　　[07:37.43]Therefore, he takes keen interest

　　[07:39.33]in acquiring this language,

　　[07:41.62]not leaving any important aspect

　　[07:43.92]untouched and uncovered.

　　[07:46.00]Such a learner is always successful.

　　[07:49.01]OK, today we have discussed

　　[07:51.55]the difference

　　[07:52.41]between spoken English

　　[07:53.00]and written English.

　　[07:54.93]To sum up,

　　[07:55.94]spoken English and written English

　　[07:57.98]differ in the aspect of medium

　　[08:00.25]as well as whether it

　　[08:01.36]is informal or formal,

　　[08:03.28]time-based or not,

　　[08:04.78]simple or hard to learn and so on.

　　[08:07.59]Next time, we'll continue to talk

　　[08:09.34]about it further.

　　[08:11.84]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[08:13.55]to check your work.

　　[11:15.45]This is the end

　　[11:16.82]of Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[11:19.83]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[11:23.08]In this section

　　[11:24.01]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[11:26.23]The interview will be

　　[11:27.41]divided into TWO parts.

　　[11:29.53]At the end of each part,

　　[11:31.15]five questions will be

　　[11:32.71]asked about what was said.

　　[11:34.49]Both the interview

　　[11:35.38]and the questions

　　[11:36.60]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[11:39.13]After each question

　　[11:40.37]there will be

　　[11:40.85]a ten-second pause.

　　[11:42.73]During the pause,

　　[11:43.79]you should read

　　[11:44.50]the four choices

　　[11:45.90]of A, B, C and D,

　　[11:48.93]and mark the best answer

　　[11:50.10]to each question

　　[11:51.27]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[11:53.44]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[11:54.84]to preview the questions.

　　[12:26.92]Now, listen to Part One

　　[12:28.61]of the interview.

　　[12:29.98]Questions 1 to 5

　　[12:31.43]are based on

　　[12:32.12]Part One of the interview.

　　[12:34.69]M: Caitlin Friedman offers advice

　　[12:36.21]on being a smart woman-in-charge

　　[12:38.61]in her new book:

　　[12:39.96]The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss

　　[12:42.07]Without Being Unpopular.

　　[12:44.18]Good morning,

　　[12:45.19]nice to have you here.

　　[12:47.02]W: Good morning.

　　[12:48.19]M: Caitlin,

　　[12:49.09]why is it that

　　[12:49.85]when women get into

　　[12:51.28]a position of power,

　　[12:52.75]when they become the boss

　　[12:54.03]or become leaders,

　　[12:55.38]they tend to be unpopular?

　　[12:57.49]W: Well,

　　[12:58.63]we think there are two reasons.

　　[13:00.97]The first is,

　　[13:02.13]it's really unfair

　　[13:03.16]that in the workplace

　　[13:04.51]people expect women

　　[13:05.72]to be emotionally there for them.

　　[13:08.41]You would never take

　　[13:09.30]your personal problems

　　[13:10.71]to a male boss,

　　[13:12.30]but you do take them

　　[13:13.29]to a woman boss

　　[13:14.71]because women are nurturing,

　　[13:16.71]just because that's what women do.

　　[13:19.43]M: You expect them

　　[13:20.28]to understand the issues

　　[13:21.52]with your kids or whatever.

　　[13:23.81]W: Right,

　　[13:24.59]and the other thing is

　　[13:25.92]there haven't been any positive

　　[13:27.58]women roles.

　　[13:28.73]I mean,

　　[13:29.51]there are very few

　　[13:30.35]positive women role models

　　[13:32.15]out there.

　　[13:33.17]Especially…look at the movies,

　　[13:35.49]which say women

　　[13:36.41]are just crazy persons

　　[13:37.98]when they get a little power.

　　[13:40.10]So what we try to do in the book

　　[13:42.14]is to show people

　　[13:43.18]how to do it a little bit better.

　　[13:45.56]M: And we'll discuss that

　　[13:46.93]in a minute,

　　[13:48.11]but why are the roles

　　[13:49.63]so different for men and women

　　[13:51.47]when they do become the boss?

　　[13:53.63]W: Well,

　　[13:54.44]I think it really has something to do

　　[13:56.34]with the lack of role models.

　　[13:58.14]I mean,

　　[13:59.05]when we were growing up

　　[14:00.27]and coming into

　　[14:01.11]the professional environment,

　　[14:03.13]we had really tough women bosses,

　　[14:05.71]but they had learned from men.

　　[14:07.72]So we think that women

　　[14:09.02]need to be able to manage

　　[14:10.46]the way they are comfortable

　　[14:11.93]in managing.

　　[14:13.82]M: What's the number one mistake

　　[14:15.39]women are making?

　　[14:17.32]W: I think the number one mistake

　　[14:19.70]women are making is

　　[14:20.82]that they're trying to do something

　　[14:22.43]the way that's not comfortable

　　[14:23.83]for the employees.

　　[14:25.85]You know,

　　[14:26.81]you really need to be firm and fair.

　　[14:29.46]You need to know

　　[14:30.21]what your employees need from you

　　[14:32.25]before you just want to set out

　　[14:34.05]these blanket things.

　　[14:36.18]The other thing is

　　[14:37.37]that if you are emotional once

　　[14:39.31]in a workplace,

　　[14:40.67]you are the crybaby from then on,

　　[14:43.75]though you cried only this time

　　[14:45.47]in ten years.

　　[14:47.21]And that's what happens

　　[14:48.10]to women.

　　[14:49.22]You know,

　　[14:49.97]they get stuck with these bad raps

　　[14:52.30]and we think

　　[14:53.17]that what you need to do

　　[14:54.39]is really try to be as firm and fair

　　[14:56.85]as possible.

　　[14:58.66]This is the end of

　　[14:59.72]Part One of the interview.

　　[15:01.57]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[15:03.63]what you have just heard.

　　[15:05.85]1. What is Caitlin's book

　　[15:08.93]mainly about?

　　[15:20.04]2. What would people talk

　　[15:22.77]to a woman boss

　　[15:23.89]instead of a male boss?

　　[15:35.78]3. What is the second reason

　　[15:38.89]why women bosses are unpopular?

　　[15:51.23]4. What is the number one mistake

　　[15:54.42]women are making?

　　[16:05.89]5. What should a woman boss do

　　[16:09.45]to avoid the number one mistake?

　　[16:21.92]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[16:23.73]of the interview.

　　[16:25.14]Questions 6 to 10

　　[16:26.72]are based on

　　[16:27.41]Part Two of the interview.

　　[16:30.12]M: Is there no place for emotion

　　[16:32.13]in a workplace?

　　[16:33.88]W: No,

　　[16:34.57]we don't think there is.

　　[16:36.01]I mean we think

　　[16:37.11]that you can be yourself,

　　[16:38.54]which is kind and supportive,

　　[16:40.38]warm and giving,

　　[16:41.61]but not crying,

　　[16:42.63]screaming,

　　[16:43.27]or beating people.

　　[16:44.89]Traditionally in business,

　　[16:46.59]showing your emotions

　　[16:47.91]is a sign of weakness-

　　[16:50.01]it can also be perceived

　　[16:51.78]as a very female trait-

　　[16:53.93]don't let your guard down.

　　[16:56.02]Women are often guilty

　　[16:57.45]of letting work get under their skin-

　　[16:59.98]taking business personally-

　　[17:02.01]and reacting emotionally

　　[17:03.75]in front of your colleagues

　　[17:05.26]is never a good idea.

　　[17:07.40]M: So,

　　[17:08.02]just imagine,

　　[17:09.17]if I were a woman boss,

　　[17:11.05]if I were going to get emotional,

　　[17:13.27]what should I do?

　　[17:14.85]W: That's easy.

　　[17:15.95]Just relax your shoulders,

　　[17:17.87]take a deep breath,

　　[17:19.25]listen to what they have to say

　　[17:21.26]and let your composure

　　[17:22.42]soften the blow.

　　[17:24.00]If you look physically shaken up

　　[17:25.83]by any conversation,

　　[17:27.67]it can be used against you

　　[17:29.66]or seen as a sign of weakness.

　　[17:32.27]M: OK,

　　[17:33.38]let's talk about

　　[17:34.34]some more practical advice.

　　[17:36.55]Caitlin, what do you think

　　[17:38.75]is the number one rule

　　[17:39.85]of good leadership for a woman boss?

　　[17:42.74]W: Well, the number one rule

　　[17:44.59]of good leadership

　　[17:45.82]is fairness or put another way,

　　[17:48.55]acting free from self-interest,

　　[17:50.69]prejudice, or favoritism.

　　[17:53.13]Good leaders,

　　[17:53.76]just like good teachers,

　　[17:55.50]don't offer preferential treatment

　　[17:57.59]to any of their subordinates.

　　[17:59.92]As a woman,

　　[18:00.95]it's likely you will have more

　　[18:02.49]in common with

　　[18:03.45]your female team members,

　　[18:05.37]however,

　　[18:06.38]if you let this kind of partiality

　　[18:08.66]cloud your professional judgment,

　　[18:11.13]you will fail to gain the respect

　　[18:12.96]of your male employees.

　　[18:15.29]Treat everyone equally

　　[18:16.53]and with respect,

　　[18:18.23]in time it's likely

　　[18:19.43]they'll return the favor.

　　[18:21.88]M: Right.

　　[18:22.87]And what is the proper way

　　[18:24.25]for women bosses

　　[18:25.70]to deal with criticism

　　[18:27.69]when the male employees

　　[18:28.97]fail to do their duties?

　　[18:31.50]W: Giving honest

　　[18:32.29]and constructive criticism.

　　[18:34.79]If you shy away

　　[18:35.76]from critiquing

　　[18:36.77]your male underlings,

　　[18:38.52]not only are you preventing them

　　[18:40.23]from developing personally

　　[18:41.83]and professionally,

　　[18:43.65]but you're also

　　[18:44.36]giving them ammunition

　　[18:45.61]to question your ability

　　[18:46.98]as a leader.

　　[18:48.69]This goes back to equality

　　[18:50.17]and fairness-

　　[18:51.65]treat everyone equally

　　[18:53.24]and don't be afraid to provide

　　[18:54.70]criticism and direction

　　[18:56.32]when it's required.

　　[18:58.19]Likewise,

　　[18:58.94]praise good work

　　[19:00.03]and reward employees

　　[19:01.48]when they go above

　　[19:02.48]and beyond the call of duty.

　　[19:04.98]M: Any other advice

　　[19:06.18]on what a woman boss

　　[19:07.25]should avoid doing?

　　[19:08.77]W: Women bosses should avoid

　　[19:10.20]talk of overtly "female" topics

　　[19:12.91]if they want to be taken seriously

　　[19:15.03]by their male subordinates.

　　[19:17.42]I'm not suggesting

　　[19:18.37]that you begin dropping fast cars

　　[19:20.46]and beer into conversation either.

　　[19:23.22]Instead, focus on

　　[19:24.68]what needs to be achieved

　　[19:26.42]from a business point-of-view-

　　[19:28.28]discuss how things can be improved,

　　[19:31.37]ask them for their suggestions

　　[19:33.48]as well as sharing your own

　　[19:34.58]and inquire

　　[19:35.99]about their career aspirations.

　　[19:38.82]By keeping the conversation

　　[19:40.30]businesslike,

　　[19:41.59]your male team members

　　[19:43.17]will see you as a leader.

　　[19:45.61]M: OK, Caitlin,

　　[19:47.02]thank you very much

　　[19:48.26]for staying with us today.

　　[19:50.22]W: My pleasure.

　　[19:52.08]This is the end of

　　[19:53.51]Part Two of the interview.

　　[19:55.18]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[19:57.12]what you have just heard.

　　[19:59.49]6. What is Caitlin's attitude

　　[20:02.96]towards reacting emotionally

　　[20:04.70]in a workplace?

　　[20:16.25]7. What is the number one rule

　　[20:19.30]of good leadership

　　[20:20.43]for a woman boss?

　　[20:32.17]8. What should a woman boss do

　　[20:35.33]when the male employees

　　[20:37.08]fail to do their duties?

　　[20:48.97]9. What kind of topics

　　[20:51.82]should a woman boss avoid?

　　[21:03.78]10. What should a woman boss do

　　[21:07.09]to make her male team members

　　[21:08.92]see her as a leader?
