　　[10:05.71]Now you have 1 minute to check through your work.

　　[11:09.63]That is the end of PART I Dictation.

　　[11:13.37]Part Two Listening Comprehension

　　[11:17.06]SECTION A TALK

　　[11:20.19]In this section you will hear a talk.

　　[11:23.28]You will hear the talk ONCE ONLY.

　　[11:26.48]While listening, you may look at ANSWER SHEET ONE

　　[11:30.02]and write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

　　[11:34.19]Make sure the word(s) you fill in is (are) both

　　[11:39.65]grammatically and semantically acceptable.

　　[11:43.08]You may use the blank sheet for note-taking.

　　[11:46.43]You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[12:23.19]Now listen to the talk.

　　[12:24.86]When it is over, you will be given TWO minutes to complete your work.

　　[12:29.73]Challenges of Working and Living in a Developing Country

　　[12:35.10]Living in a developing country can be a challenging and,

　　[12:39.11]at times, an uncomfortable experience.

　　[12:42.37]However, it can also be rewarding

　　[12:45.36]to the development needs of the region and your career.

　　[12:48.95]We have done some researches for this issue and want to share with you

　　[12:53.29]before you apply for a job and live in a developing country.

　　[12:57.44]First, you will find different customs, religions and cultures.

　　[13:02.44]Keep in mind that your way may not be the only way

　　[13:06.80]or even the "right" way of communicating across cultural and,

　　[13:11.04]in some cases, language barriers can be frustrating.

　　[13:15.02]You will experience cultural beliefs

　　[13:17.93]which may be very different to your own,

　　[13:20.52]from varying perspectives on gender,

　　[13:23.05]different working styles through to religious practices.

　　[13:27.51]The tip for you

　　[13:28.49]is to investigate the country you are applying to before you go

　　[13:32.90]--understand the importance of religion,

　　[13:35.74]the status of women, hierarchy, common work practices etc.

　　[13:41.24]Second, regardless of whether your assignment is in an urban,

　　[13:46.16]industrial or rural area,

　　[13:48.37]you should expect basic living conditions.

　　[13:51.66]This could quite likely mean limited electricity and hot water,

　　[13:56.20]shared facilities including bathroom and toilet,

　　[13:59.37]and probably mosquitoes and other "wild" life.

　　[14:03.31]You may have to do without some of the entertainment you are used to

　　[14:07.36]--DVDs, downloading, pubs and bars.

　　[14:11.20]The tip is to prepare entertainment

　　[14:13.81]or luxuries you cannot live without before you go,

　　[14:16.96]for example, sporting equipment,

　　[14:19.68]a fully loaded e-book reader, bed sheets or 50+ sun cream.

　　[14:25.91]Third, one of the most important things to consider is

　　[14:30.06]whether you can survive without your family and friends.

　　[14:33.52]If you can't bear the thought of being separated from your family,

　　[14:37.06]partner, boyfriend or girlfriend for months at a time

　　[14:40.64]then you need to consider

　　[14:42.78]whether to apply such a job or think of other ways

　　[14:46.57]in which you can get support while in country.

　　[14:49.96]The tip is to get involved in country with new support networks

　　[14:54.31]--join sporting groups, and attend social events with your colleagues.

　　[14:59.23]Fourth, just like starting a new job and working in a new workplace

　　[15:04.34]will be a new and sometimes daunting experience.

　　[15:08.12]There may be different working hours,

　　[15:10.42]informal communication styles, a lack of resources,

　　[15:14.37]more responsibility than you are used to and complex social issues

　　[15:19.44]such as gender inequality and corruption.

　　[15:22.48]The tip is to research the country and understand

　　[15:26.27]that what you will experience

　　[15:27.73]when working within the current environment

　　[15:30.59]--not changing it overnight,

　　[15:32.97]and deal with these difficulties with a flexible attitude.

　　[15:36.70]Fifth and the last, getting sick is a part of living

　　[15:41.01]and working in developing countries.

　　[15:43.27]A lot of support is provided before,

　　[15:45.96]during and after your application

　　[15:48.28]to ensure you stay as healthy as possible

　　[15:51.77](vaccinations, personalized medical kits, check ups).

　　[15:55.86]The tip is to ensure you follow health advice provided

　　[15:59.40]by your organization and local healthcare institutions.

　　[16:03.75]I hope these issues are useful for you

　　[16:06.33]when considering

　　[16:07.31]and preparing for working and living in a developing country.

　　[16:11.46]Thank you.

　　[16:13.10]NOW you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

　　[18:19.28]This is the end of Section A talk

　　[18:22.58]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

　　[18:26.46]In this section you will hear two conversations.

　　[18:30.16]At the end of each conversation,

　　[18:32.59]five questions will be asked about what was said.

　　[18:36.52]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[18:42.56]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

　　[18:47.29]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

　　[18:55.07]and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[19:00.38]You have thirty seconds to preview the questions.

　　[19:34.97]Now, listen to the conversations.

　　[19:38.41]Conversation One

　　[19:41.04]W: Hello. Flagstone.

　　[19:43.01]M: Oh hello. Is that Flagstone Properties?

　　[19:47.15]W: Yes that's right. Flagstone here.

　　[19:49.90]How can I help you?

　　[19:51.83]M: Hello. I'm ringing just to make enquiries about renting a house.

　　[19:56.42]My name's Jon Anderson.

　　[19:58.44]W: Yes, Mr. Anderson.

　　[20:00.21]What sort of thing were you looking for?

　　[20:03.20]M: Two-bedroomed house with garden.

　　[20:06.04]W: Well, yes, sir. That shouldn't be any problem.

　　[20:09.56]Just to let you know that our main areas,

　　[20:13.00]the main areas we deal with, are the city centre itself...

　　[20:16.78]M: City centre... uh-huh.

　　[20:18.91]W: And the north suburbs.

　　[20:20.58]M: Oh well... we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.

　　[20:25.66]W: Right... Yes. What sort of price were you thinking of?

　　[20:30.73]M: Well... could you give me some idea?

　　[20:33.45]W: Certainly. It really ranges from ￡250 per month.

　　[20:39.56]M: Only ￡250.

　　[20:41.85]W: Yes, to about ￡500 depending on a number of different factors.

　　[20:47.91]M: What does it depend on?

　　[20:49.90]W: Well, obviously the quality of the area.

　　[20:53.05]And then whether there's a garden.

　　[20:55.61]M: Well, as I said, we'd want a garden.

　　[20:58.66]W: And a garage pushes up the price.

　　[21:01.74]M: Right. Well, we wouldn't necessarily need one.

　　[21:05.27]I think about ￡350 a month would be our limit.

　　[21:10.17]W: OK. Well, would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir?

　　[21:15.39]M: Yes, that'd be great.

　　[21:17.46]W: Looking at our files.

　　[21:19.74]I think we've got two which might suit you.

　　[21:23.02]M: Hang on. I'll just get a pen. Right.

　　[21:27.31]W: OK. Well, there's one on West Park Road which is ￡325 a month.

　　[21:33.88]M: Are the bills included?

　　[21:36.05]W: Well, that one just includes the water bill.

　　[21:38.95]M: OK, right.

　　[21:40.71]W: And the second house is in Tithe Road.

　　[21:44.03]M: Got that. And now how much is that one?

　　[21:47.71]W: That's ￡380.

　　[21:50.80]M: 380. Is that including water?

　　[21:54.54]W: No, I'm afraid not, but is does include the telephone rental.

　　[21:59.64]M: Oh well, that's not too bad then. So...

　　[22:03.18]W: So, when would you be available to see them?

　　[22:06.51]M: Well, I'll be in town next week... say... Thursday?

　　[22:11.26]W: No, I'm sorry we don't have any availability for Thursday.

　　[22:15.82]How about Wednesday afternoon?

　　[22:18.26]M: OK. That's fine. Would 5:00 be OK?

　　[22:22.75]W: Yes, fine. 5:00 it is. Just come to the Flagstone Offices.

　　[22:28.36]M: Oh, before I forget.

　　[22:30.91]What sort of things do I need to get done to rent with you?

　　[22:34.07]W: Well, the most important is a letter from your bank,

　　[22:37.40]and then a reference letter from your employer.

　　[22:40.13]M: No problem. And what else?

　　[22:42.45]W: We would need you to give 2 weeks' notice of moving in.

　　[22:46.39]M: OK. Thanks very much. I'll see you next week.

　　[22:50.02]W: See you.

　　[22:51.85]This is the end of Conversation One.

　　[22:55.30]Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.

　　[22:59.70]1. What is the main idea of the conversation?

　　[23:15.64]2. What kind of house is the man looking for?

　　[23:29.92]3. What does the rent of the house in West Park Road include?

　　[23:44.84]4. How much is the rent of the house in Tithe Road?

　　[23:59.93]5. What does the man need to do to rent the house?

　　[24:15.06]Conversation Two

　　[24:16.95]M: Good morning.

　　[24:18.01]W: Good morning. How can I help you?

　　[24:20.59]M: I understand that the school organizes... umm, trips to different...

　　[24:25.69]W: Yes, we run five every month:

　　[24:28.83]three during weekends and two Wednesday afternoon trips.

　　[24:33.02]M: What sort of places?

　　[24:35.06]W: Well, obviously it varies, but always places of historical interest

　　[24:40.41]and also which offer a variety of shopping,

　　[24:43.80]because our students always ask about that...

　　[24:46.43]And then we go for ones where we know there are guided tours,

　　[24:49.92]because this gives a good focus for the visit.

　　[24:53.42]M: Do you travel far?

　　[24:55.84]W: Well, we're lucky here, obviously,

　　[24:58.11]because we're able to say that all our visits are less than three hours drive.

　　[25:02.61]M: How much do they cost?

　　[25:05.30]W: Again it varies--between five and fifteen pounds a head,

　　[25:09.89]depending on distance.

　　[25:11.26]M: Ah ha...

　　[25:12.92]W: Oh, and we do offer to arrange special trips

　　[25:16.11]if, you know, there are more than twelve people.

　　[25:18.88]M: Oh right, I'll keep that in mind.

　　[25:21.10]And what are the times normally?

　　[25:23.37]W: We try to keep it pretty fixed so that,

　　[25:26.18]that students get to know the pattern.

　　[25:28.86]We leave at 8:30 a.m. and return at 6 p.m.

　　[25:31.10]We figure it's best to keep the day fairly short.

　　[25:35.95]M: Oh yes. And what visits are planned for this term?

　　[25:40.45]W: Right, well I'm afraid the schedule hasn't been printed out yet,

　　[25:44.63]but we have confirmed the dates and planned the optional extra visits

　　[25:49.13]which you can also book in advance if you want to.

　　[25:51.82]M: Oh that's all right.

　　[25:54.02]If you can just give some idea of the weekend ones

　　[25:57.31]so I can, you know, work out when to see friends, etc.

　　[26:01.70]W: Oh sure. Well, the first one is St Ives.

　　[26:05.48]That's on February 13th and we'll have only sixteen places available

　　[26:10.49]because we're going by minibus.

　　[26:12.41]M: Oh right... yeah... that sounds good.

　　[26:15.34]W: Then there's a London trip on February 20th

　　[26:18.67]and we'll be taking a medium-sized coach

　　[26:22.31]so there'll be forty-five places on that.

　　[26:24.54]M: Oh, I've already been there.

　　[26:26.86]W: We're going to Salisbury on March 18th

　　[26:30.21]and that's always a popular one,

　　[26:31.97]so we're taking the large coach with fifty seats...

　　[26:35.45]M: Oh, good.

　　[26:37.02]W: And the last one is to Bath on March 23rd.

　　[26:40.96]W: Oh yes. Is Bath the Roman city?

　　[26:44.05]M: Yes, that's right, and that's in the sixteen-seater minibus.

　　[26:49.85]W: OK, well that's great, thanks for all that...

　　[26:53.15]M: My pleasure. By the way,

　　[26:55.65]if you want more information about any of the trips,

　　[26:59.23]have a look in the student newspaper.

　　[27:01.80]W: OK. Thank you very much for all your help.

　　[27:05.08]M: You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy the trips.

　　[27:09.70]This is the end of Conversation Two.

　　[27:12.17]Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.

　　[27:16.20]6. Where does the conversation most probably take place?

　　[27:33.43]7. What do we learn about the trips?

　　[27:47.32]8. Why do they go to places with a guided tour?

　　[28:01.89]9. Under what circumstance will they arrange special trips?

　　[28:16.83]10. Where will they go for a visit on March 18th?

　　[28:32.13]This is the end of Part Two Listening Comprehension.
