RECREATION OFFICERGreat. Well, hi, everyone! My name's Jody and I'm one of the four recreation officers hereat Rainforest Lodge. My job is to make sure that you all have a great stay here with us andgo away feeling relaxed and refreshed. As you can see, we're literally in the middle ofnowhere at the Lodge. There are no newspapers or TVs and there's only one phone and Q11that's in the office. The Lodge is a complete 'getaway from it all' experience: a place tounwind and appreciate the world without a lot of interruptions and distractions.From your cabin balcony you'll find that you can't see anyone else and the only noiseyou should hear is the birds. When the luggage comes, one of the guys will take it across toyour cabin for you and make sure you know the way back here to the main centre fordinner in the restaurant. Dinner will be served in about an hour or so. Q12All the times of each day's activities are printed on the blue sheet you should have got inthe information guides that were handed out on the coach. Each Explorer trip has adifferent focus, so it doesn't matter how many you do or on what day, because there'salways something new to discover in the rainforest.Tomorrow 1 think we've still got places on the Orchid and Fungi Tour. This is on footand takes you to different parts of the rainforest. Or, if you'd prefer, there's the Four- Q13Wheel-Drive tour to the waterfalls, or the fishing trip where I promise you we'll catch somelunch, and last but not least, the famous Crocodile Cruise that leaves at 11 am each day. Q14(Just in time for the crocodile's lunch!) Plenty to choose from here at Rainforest Lodge orjust sit on your balcony, relax and unwind and enjoy the views. In the evenings there is theSpotlight Tour, one of my favourites. The Spotlight Tour leaves at sundown and lets you QI5catch a glimpse of some more of the rainforest's wildlife as it comes out at dusk to feed.That's a great trip and if you can, I'd really try to make sure you do it during your stay.You've chosen to visit the rainforest in March, which is just at the end of the wet season,so you'll soon notice how well the waterfalls are running and also how damp the ground is.Things can tend to get a bit slippery, too, so if you didn't bring any walking boots I'd Q16advise you to hire some from the office. You'll also be much better off in long trousers Q17rather than shorts because they will give your legs more protection, and socks are a good Q18idea too.There's no need to be nervous of the rainforest provided that you treat it with respectand common sense. Most of the animals and wildlife are gentle and harmless. There are Q19some venomous snakes to beware of, but really they're much more frightened of you thanyou are of them. The other thing is that certain plants can cause irritation if you touch Q20them with bare skin.Well, that's about all for the time being. The guys are here to take you and your luggageto the cabins .. .

COUNSELLOR Hello, John, What can I do for you?JOHN Well, I heard about these counselling sessions from a friend doing a sciencecourse and I was really interested. I think they should be compulsory really.COUNSELLOR Well to be quite honest, John, I think they would be useful for everybody but well, everybody has their own way of going about things. I prefer Q21people just to drop in when they can.JOHN Yes.COUNSELLOR I find that talking to students about the requirements of a course helps to clarify what needs to be done. I mean the biggest difference between collegeand school is that new college students really have to do a lot of work on Q22their own, and it's sometimes useful to get advice on how to take control ofyour time and work effectively.JOHN Yes. I mean, it seems like a very light workload until assignment timecomes and then I seem to be working all night sometimes. I'm not the onlyone. It's ridiculous. The resource centre is very good but it closes so early. Q23It's in the library and so you'd think you could use it more. It's a realproblem for me.COUNSELLOR Well, you're certainly not the only person in that position, as I'm sureyou've found. It really comes down to using every available hour in asystematic way. If you do this with a plan, then you'll find that you still Q24have time for yourself and your hobbies as well.JOHN Yeah. I've heard from Thomas that you made him a sort of plan like this,and he's going away for the weekend with all his work handed in, whereas Ihaven't even started.COUNSELLOR I need to find out a few more things about you first. I'll give you this form Q25to fill in about your lectures and things before you leave.COUNSELLOR Now, what are your main problems?JOHN Well, what most concerns me is I'm still not doing very well in myassignments.COUNSELLOR Well, I know that you plan your writing carefully, but this can come tonothing if the assignment doesn't answer the question. That really is thekey. You must read the question carefully and give it a great deal ofthought before you even start planning or writing your first draft. It's also Q26vital to check your work for errors. Everybody makes them, and they caninfluence the person marking the work. So, always take time at the end to Q26check what you have written.JOHN As far as listening is concerned, I find it hard to keep up sometimes inlectures, especially two-hour ones. I sometimes just seem to go off into adream.COUNSELLOR It's a good idea to find out from your lecturers if they mind you recording Q27the lectures. You only need one of those small cassette recorders. Thequality is pretty good and a second listening can really clarify things.Something else you can do is check your notes with a friend after the Q28lecture.JOHN Yes. That's a good idea. Thanks. It's hard to do all that all the time though,especially when there's so much reading to do.COUNSELLOR Yes. It's important, though, not to confine yourself to reading on yoursubject. You should also read things of general interest that appeal to you. Q29You know, novels, newspapers, that kind of thing. Do you have a good Q30dictionary?JOHN Not really. I've never bothered with oneCOUNSELLOR Mmmm. It would probably be a good idea to get one. Dictionaries are not Q30expensive and they can help a lot. Also you can underline or highlight newwords and .. .

TUTOR Well, good afternoon. In today's session John Upton will be sharing some of thefindings of his research project from last term. John .. .JOHN Thanks. Well, first of all, a little bit about the background to the project. Ourtitle, as you can see, is pretty straightforward: 'car safety'. But these days there's alot more to it than the usual injunctions about drinking and driving or speeding.I had been interested and horrified by several newspaper reports on what people Q31call 'road rage'. For example the famous incident of a man getting out of his carin a car park and hitting the driver of a van who had overtaken him earlier. Itseemed to me that there were almost as many serious problems when cars wereparked .. . i.e. were stationary .. . as when they were travelling at 90 miles anhour. So I decided to make this the focus of the project.For our research we depended mainly on talking to individuals, asking them Q32questions rather than using written questionnaires. We stopped people at aselected garage on the motorway over a two-day period, and asked themquestions about what they'd observed or experienced themselves. Ourrespondents were both men and women, but the women were just slightly in the Q33majority. We were pleased by the public's willingness to stop and chat to us .. . inthe end we talked to a total of 135 drivers over those two days. Q34So what were our findings? Well, as you can see, 93% of respondents had hadsome kind of problem. A surprisingly large percentage - 24% had had their cardamaged in some way, but the main type of incident was being shouted Q35at - 79% had experienced that. 15% had experienced violence on their ownpersons .. . they'd actually been hit by someone. The police tended only to beinformed when there was physical violence involved.So what strategies had people developed to ensure their own safety? Let's have alook at the figures here. Well, first of all, it was quite striking that there were oftendistinct answers from the men and women. It was mainly women, for example, Examplewho said one shouldn't ever stop to find out how to get somewhere. Whereas itwas men who said you should try to avoid looking directly at other drivers. Both Q36men and .. . oh sorry no.. . it was women who said you had to tell someone Q37when you were due to get to a particular destination. Then, I had thought that itwould be mainly men, but both sexes made the point that it's much safer to get Q38keys out well in advance as you go towards your car. Men were very aware thatmuggers or whatever might be concealed behind the car. They also made the Q39point that you should leave plenty of room when you park your car so you canmake a quick getaway if you need to. Finally, locking doors at all times .. . mendidn't think it was quite as important as women, but both gave it a high safety Q40rating.When we asked them what they thought the best improvements had been in thelast five years in helping with road rage problems .. .
