LYNDA: Sara, I

’

ve heard that you want to move into a homestay

family. Is that correct?

SARA:

Yes,

that’s

right.

I’ve

been

staying

with

my

aunt

and

now

my

cousin

is

arriving

fromSingaporeand

my

aunt

needs

the

room

for

him.

LYNDA: Oh, that’s bad luck. Well, I’ll need to get some

particulars first. Sara, what’s your full name?

SARA: Sara Lim

, and that’s Sara without the ‘h’ at the end.

Example

LYNDA: Mmm. How old are you, Sara?

SARA: Twenty-three, only just. It was my birthday on the

twenty- first of August.

LYNDA: Happy birthday for yesterday. How long have you been

inAustralia?

SARA: A year inAdelaideand six months inSydney. I preferSydney,

I’ve got more friends here. Q1

LYND

A: What’s your address at your aunt’s house?

SARA: Flat one,five three nine Forest Road,Canterbury. And the

post code is two, o, three, six. Q2

LYNDA: OK. What are you studying now?

SARA:

I

was

studying

General

English

inAdelaideand

now

I’m

doing

Academic

English, because I’m trying to get into Medicine next

year. Q3

LYNDA: That sounds good, but it’ll take you a long time. When

would you like to move out from your aunt’s?

SARA: My cousin arrives on Friday morning, so I’d better be out

on Thursday. Q4

LYNDA: What, the seventh of September?

SARA: Yes, that’s right.

LYNDA:

That

doesn’t

leave

us

much

time.

Right,

OK.

I

need

to

know

what

kind

of

accommodation

you’d

like,

so

I

can

get

you

something

suitable.

SARA: Can I share a room

with someone else? I’v

e been alone in

my room at my aunt’s and I’ve always shared with my sister and

I like that. Q5

LYNDA: Yes, fine. That’ll save you money too. Would you like to

live with a family or do you think that a single person would be

better

for

you?

I

have

lots

of

very

nice

single

people

on

my

books.

Q6

SARA: DO you have any women living alone, retired women?

LYNDA: Yes, I have quite a few whose children have grown up and

left home. In fact, I have some really lovely retired ladies,

living

by

themselves,

who

just

love

the

company

of

students.

Most

of them live in flats

, but that’s not a problem for you, is it?

Q7

SARA:

Not

at all.

I’m

used to

that.

My

aunt

lives in

a

flat

too,

remember. I’m not used to a big house with a garden, swimming

pool, pets and all that.

LYNDA: OK, fine. I know quite a bit about what you want now. I

should let you know that your rent will be a hundred and sixty

dollars

per

week.

You’ll

have

to

pay

me

three

hundred

and

twenty

dollars as a deposit before you move in. The deposit is as

insura

nce, in case you break something. You’ll need to pay

monthly

to me, by cash or cheque, I don’t mind. You don’t need

to pay for gas, electricity or water, but you will need to pay

your proportion of the phone bill. Most families do that on an

honour system,

but you’ll have to wait and see. Q8 Q9 Q10

SARA: Mmm.

LYNDA: Have you got any more questions for me?

SARA: When will you know where I can go?

LYNDA: I’ll work on it now, so come and see me tomorrow and I

should have some news for you then.

SARA: Thanks a lot.

IYNDA: Goodbye. See you tomorrow - after lunch would be better

for me.

SARA: OK, see you then. Bye.

GEOFFREY: Good evening, and in this week

’

s edition of

‘

Focus

on the Arts

’

, Jane Hemmington is going to fill us in on what

’

s in store for us at this year

’

s Summer Festival. Over to you,

Jane.

JANE:

Thank

you,

Geoffrey. This

year,

the

Summer

Festival

is

the

biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should

be something for

everybody.

This

is

the

third

year

they’ve

run

it

and

the

timing’s

slightly

different:

for

the

last

couple

of

years

it’s

been

around

the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow

everyone enough time to recover from the first of January

celebrations and they’ve put it

at the end of the month. Q11

The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large

number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most

famous

for

is

its

great

street

music.

For

today’s

report

though,

Geoffrey,

I’m

looking at

some

of the

theatrical

events that

you

might

like

to

se

e;

in

particular,

at

this

year’s

theme

-

circuses.

Q12

I

’

m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there

are

plenty

of

others

in

the

programme.

I

’

ve

chosen

these

because

they

represent

distinct

movements

within

circus

performance.

The

first is the Circus Romano fromItaly. As this is a travelling

circus, it follows a long tradition by performing in a marquee

- which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put

up

in

a

green

space

or

car

park,

rather

than

in

a

theatre

or

stadium.

Q13 Q14

In

spite

of

this,

Circus

Romano

isn’t

at

all

like

the

traditional

circuses

I

grew

up

with.

There

are

no

animals

-just

very

talented

clowning

and

acrobatic

routines.

The

show

has

a

lot

of

very

funny

moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the

music

and

lighting

.

They’re

magical.

At

forty

-

five

dollars

it’s

very expensive anyway -

it’s really for

adult tastes. In fact,

much of it would be wasted on children - so I suggest you leave

them at home. Q15 Q16

The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the Studio

Theatre

. The purists

are

suggesting

that this

isn’t

a

circus

at

all. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than

the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers

it’s

a

small

production,

which

suits

the

venue well

-the

Studio

only

seats

about

two

hundred

people.

For

my

money

it’s

the

aerial

displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks -

features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting

feature of the show is that the performers are so young - the

youngest is only fourteen. But it’s still well worth seeing: a

good one for the whole family. Q17 Q18

And finally, as it’s summer, you may wish to see some of the

Festival

performances

that

are

being

presented

outdoors.

Like

the

famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in theCityGardens

this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It’s large puppets

on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in

the

lake.

The

puppets

do

comedy

routines

and

there

is

some

terrific

formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment

comes at the end - seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks

up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. It’s really

hard to

believe that

what

yo

u’ve been

watching

is

lifeless

wood

and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that

other older people in the audience weren’t quite as taken with

it as I was. It’s a must for

young children

though, and that’s

the audience it’s really aimed

at. Q19 Q20

Well, that

’

s all I

’

ve time for today, but I

’

ll be back next

week with more news of what

’

s worth seeing and what it

’

s best

to miss.

OFFICER: Hello. Er, I

’

m Dawn Matthews.

STUDENT: Yes, hello. I’ve been referred to you because I’m

enquiring

about

the

refresher

courses

that

you

run. I’d

like

to

find out a bit more about them.

OFFICER:OK.

Well,

we

run

quite

a

few

different

short

courses

for

students

who

are

either

returning

to

study

or

studying

part-time.

Um, tell me about your situation. Q21

STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing

for the coming semester, especially to build up my confidence a

bit and help me study effectively because, you see, I’ve

been

out in the work-force for nearly twelve years now, so it really

is a long time since I was last a student.

OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, can’t it? Um, well,

let me start by telling you what courses we have that might suit

you.

Are

you

an

undergraduate

or

a

postgraduate?

Arts

or

Sciences?

STUDENT: Undergraduate, and I’m in the Business faculty.

OFFICER:

Right

then.

First

of

all,

there’s

our

intensive

‘Study

for

Success’

seminar

on

the

first

and

second

of February.

It’s

aimed

at

students

like

you

who

are

uncertain

about

what

to

expect

at college, and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to
