Transcript for My favourite film

A (girl): I really like The Notebook; it’s a romantic classic. The story is about a poor
boy, called Noah, who meets a rich girl, called Allie, and they fall in love over
one summer. But of course there are problems. Allie’s parents don’t approve of
Noah because he’s poor and they get separated, then a lot of time passes before
they can get together again. She goes away to college and he writes to her
every day, but she doesn’t get the letters. Then after quite a long time, Noah
buys an old house which he promised to restore for Allie. He does it up and she
sees a newspaper article about it and goes to find him again. You can probably
guess the rest, but it’s a bit complicated because she is engaged to another
man. Noah is played by Ryan Gosling, who’s my favourite actor, and he stops
the film being too soppy – but you still cry a lot at the end. Rachel McAdams
is really good too, as Allie.

B (boy): I think my favourite film is Skyfall, the last James Bond movie. It stars
Daniel Craig again and Javier Bardem is this really evil baddie. They’re both
great, and so is Judi Dench as M, Bond’s boss. It’s a bit different to other
Bond films. The story is more important, although there is still a lot of action.
It’s really well filmed, especially in the scenes which are shot in Shanghai and
Scotland, and it’s really exciting, of course. Bond is also a bit different –
although he does amazing things, he seems older and that makes him more
human and the story more realistic. Oh, the song by Adele is great, too. You
know it won an Oscar?

C (girl): It’s not a very recent film, but I love Pride and Prejudice – the version
with Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr
Darcy. The story is really clever and interesting, besides being romantic.
It’s all about how we tend to jump to conclusions about people and we’re often
completely wrong. Elizabeth thinks Mr Darcy is stuck up and snobbish at the
beginning of the film, but at the end she realises she has been completely
wrong and he isn’t like that at all. She also realises he has an enormous house
and that maybe helps her fall in love with him too! After I saw the film I read
the book by Jane Austen and I really recommend that too. Although it was
published 200 years ago, it’s still a great read and really funny in parts.

D (boy): My favourite film has to be The Matrix. Even though it was made back in
1999, it still feels really modern. It’s about this ordinary man, Neo, played by
Keanu Reeves, who works with computers during the day and is a hacker at
night. One day he is contacted by a woman who introduces him to a very
 strange man: Morpheus. Morpheus explains to Neo that what he thinks of as
real is actually fiction and the world is run by evil machines who have
imprisoned and tricked the human race. Laurence Fishburne is terrific as
Morpheus, and Keanu Reeves is excellent, but the best thing about the film is
the special effects. I can watch it again and again.

E (girl): Let the Right One In is my favourite film. There are two versions, the first
is Swedish and the second American – I prefer the original, Swedish version.
It’s a modern vampire film and also a kind of love story, but it’s really
unsentimental and a bit scary in places. Oskar is a young boy with a lot of
problems. He is being bullied at school and wants revenge on the bullies.
Then some new neighbours move in next door and he becomes friends
with Eli, a beautiful but strange girl. I won’t tell you any more, because it
will spoil the story, but expect a serial killer, a lot of violence and blood-
drinking. If you like that kind of thing, you’ll love this.

e next to the numbers 1–5

Transcript for Sport centres

A
Hi, come in. I’m Maya. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Grange Park Sports
Centre. I’ll just show you round the centre and explain what we offer here, and then
you can ask me questions. Well, as you can see, this is quite a small centre but we
offer a lot of different activities at different times of the day. If you’d just like to come
through here, you can see the main rooms. These are nice and light and airy and we
have a very good air-conditioning system so they are warm in the winter and cool in the
summer. Here we have classes of yoga, tai chi, Pilates and Zumba at different levels.
We also have different types of dance class: jazz dancing, Indian dancing and Latin
dancing. Oh, and we’ve just started offering flamenco. All our teachers are fully
qualified and experienced. We have beginners’ classes up to advanced. Some of our
students have been coming since we opened, ten years ago.
So, if you could follow me through here – mind the steps here – we’ve got the sauna
and massage rooms.
We have very reasonable prices for massages. And over here we have the gym with
exercise machines. It’s quite a small gym, but usually there’s plenty of room for
people to move around without any problems. OK, that’s about it. Over there we have
the changing rooms with showers. You do need to bring your own towel if you want
a shower, but you don’t need to bring a mat for the yoga and Pilates classes. Oh, and
I must mention the café. It’s just off the main entrance. That’s very popular with our
clients; we have a great selection of teas, fresh juices, sandwiches and cakes.
Right, the prices. You can join for three months, six months or a year and that gives
you the right to use the gym and go to two classes a week. If you want to go to more
classes or use the sauna, there’s a small extra charge. For three months the fee is …

B
OK, let me show you the gym. My name’s Bill and I’m the main sports trainer here,
but we have a team of four specialists who are always around to help you with
exercise programmes and give advice about lifestyle and diet. We strongly
recommend that you talk to one of us as soon as you sign up and set up your
personalised training programme. So, through here we have the main gym. As you
can see, it’s enormous and we have lots of brand-new machines. You can do
everything here: running, cycling, rowing, weights … you name it. Although we have
a lot of clients, it’s very unusual to have to wait for a machine. Over there is the area
for weight-training. If you want a closer look at the machines, you can come back
later. Oh, by the way, you can only come in here with trainers on. No outdoor shoes,
please.
OK, through here we have the swimming pool. It’s great, isn’t it? We’re very proud
of it. You can use it most of the time without booking, but there are certain times of
day when we have swimming classes and water aerobics. There is always a lifeguard
in attendance who will also offer informal swimming tips. OK, just over there you
have the changing rooms and lockers, and on the right are the bathrooms and showers.
We have our own shop, here, where you can buy our own brand of sportswear and
 sports drinks and supplements. Right, I can see you’re impressed, and, as I said, we’re
very proud of our centre. However, I should warn you that we are slightly more
expensive than other gyms in the area – but then we offer a much higher level of
services and a very wide range of activities. Here’s a brochure with the timetables of
the extra classes that we offer, such as boxing, taekwondo and capoeira and quite a few
others, besides swimming activities: swimming classes, diving classes, water aerobics
and water polo. OK, so have a look at the brochure, then you can speak to one of the
secretaries in reception about the best combination of activities for you.

Indonesian waters, an Indonesian police officer said in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, on
Monday. The 45 boat people, including nine women, were from Sudan, Eritrea, Somali,
Ghana, Egypt, Yemen and Lebanon. As they were about to enter Australian waters on
Monday, they were immediately forced into Indonesian waters, Rote Ndao Police chief Adj.
Sr. Comr. Hidayat said.

Hidayat said that local police picked them up after they became stranded on nearby islands.
They have been taken into police custody in Rote Ndao, Hidayat said as reported by Antara
news agency.The Australian navy provided the illegal immigrants with life vests and
communication equipment before repelling them into Indonesian waters, one of the boat
people told Hidayat.

 Multiple Choice :
Script.

A: Hey, I’m reading this really interesting article about the human body.
B: Yeah? Well, we know all about that from biology lessons.
A: No, we didn’t learn much at all at school! They’re discovering loads more things all
the time.
Really amazing things! Did you know that only about one tenth of the cells in
your body are really you? The rest are bacteria.
B: What? I’m not really me?
A: No, of course you are you, but you also have millions, or trillions, of bacteria in you.
B: Eeeeuuugh!
A: No, they’re mostly really helpful. Someone did an experiment to see if animals
can live without bacteria, and he found that a lot of them died or had to have a
special diet. Animals need bacteria to digest food, you see. So we’re better off
with bacteria.
B: Unless the bacteria are bad.
A: Unless they are bad, but they’re nearly all good. Oh yeah, and going back to cells,
do you know how many cells you have in your body?
B: Quite a lot, I’d say. A good few.
A: Yeah, but how many?
B: I don’t know. I’not mathematical.
A: 7 octillion! That’s 7 plus 27 noughts.
B: I knew it was a lot.
A: OK, that’s an amazingly huge number, almost impossible to imagine. But the
really weird thing is that most of the atoms are empty space, just air or
nothingness. And if you took out the empty space, you could fit your body
inside a tiny cube which measures one 500th of a centimetre on either side.
That’s a box measuring 0.002 of a centimetre on each side. You’d be much too
small to see.
B: Mmm, I can imagine that. It sounds like something that would happen in a
really bad Hollywood movie. You know, a mad scientist goes: (funny voice)
‘I’m going to extract all the air from your body’. OK, enough facts for one
day.
A: Don’t go! One last thing, did you know …
B: No.
A: Did you know that you probably have mites in your eyelashes?
B: Mites in my eyelashes? What are mites exactly anyway?
A: Yeah, they’re very small creatures, like insects, only not insects.
They’re about a third of a millimetre long, so you can’t really see them.
These particular mites live in eyelashes and eyebrows.

General Soedirman was a high-ranking Indonesian military officer during the Indonesian
National Revolution. He was the first commander-in-chief of the Indonesian Armed Forces,
he continues to be widely respected in the country.

On 12 November 1945, at an election to decide the military's commander-in-chief in

Yogyakarta, the 20 years old Sudirman was chosen over Oerip Soemohardjo in a close vote.
While waiting to be confirmed, Sudirman ordered an assault on British and Dutch forces in
Ambarawa. The ensuing battle and British withdrawal strengthened Sudirman's popular
support, and he was ultimately confirmed on 18 December. General Sudirman commanded
military activities throughout Java, including a show of force in Yogyakarta on 1 March
1949. When the Dutch began withdrawing, in July 1949 Sudirman was recalled to
Yogyakarta and forbidden to fight further. In late 1949 Sudirman's tuberculosis returned, and
he retired to Magelang, where he died slightly more than a month after the Dutch recognised
Indonesia's independence. He is buried at Semaki Heroes' Cemetery in Yogyakarta.

1) This is a place we can find information about the past. some parts of the place had
been designed to look the same as the past, some other parts are used to keep some
artifacts and other unique thing found in some areas, teachers usually asked the

and not interested, they are like going to cinemas almost.

Which is the place the speaker described?

2). This place Temple is one of Bali’s most important landmarks, famed for its unique
offshore setting and sunset backdrops. An ancient Hindu shrine perched on top of an
outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves; This place is simply among Bali’s not-to-be-
missed icons. Nearby the visitors’ leisure facilities that including restaurants, shops and a
cultural park presenting regular dance performances. The temple is located in the
Beraban village of the Tabanan regency, an approximate 20km northwest of Kuta, and is
included on most tours to Bali’s western and central regions.

Which picture is described in the monologue?

3). Nearly everybody has heard of King Tut, whose tomb was discovered by
archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The tomb was filled with wonderful artifacts, almost
certainly the most valuable ones ever found in one place in the world. Absolutely the best of
the bunch is King Tut’s death mask, crafted of gold, lapis lazuli, carnelian and other
semiprecious stones. King Tutankhamun was a short-lived pharaoh during the previously
mentioned Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. King Tut’s mummy has probably been probed
more than any other in history.

Which picture is described in the monologue?

4). This is the form of liquid droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning
or evening due to condensation. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat,
atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting
in the formation of water droplets. When temperatures are low enough, it takes the form of
ice; this form is called frost.

 True-False Items
Script.

Host: On ‘Star Students’ today we’re speaking to Peter who is going to tell us
about the Pomodoro Technique, a system to help manage your time. It was
invented by an Italian man called Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s. He called
it the Pomodoro Technique after a tomato-shaped timer that his mother used
to use when she was cooking. Pomodoro is Italian for tomato. And this
tomato has helped Peter become an A-grade student. Welcome, Peter.

Peter: Thanks.

Host: Tell us about the Pomodoro Technique. What’s it about?

Peter: It’s about getting maximum productivity from your available time. I use it
for studying, but professionals use it at work.

Host: Is it difficult to follow?

Peter: No. It’s actually very simple. It’s about breaking down your work into
separate jobs and then using a timer to separate your time into periods of
intensive work and short breaks.
 Host: OK, that sounds sensible. How do you start?

Peter: First of all, you should think about the task you need to complete. For
example, writing an essay for homework. You need to think about all the
stages of the task and write a clear to-do list on a piece of paper. When you
are ready to start you set the timer to 25 minutes and you start working on
the first item on the list.

Host: OK … but what happens when the timer goes off?

Peter: When the timer goes off you must take a short break of between 3 to 5
minutes. One 25-minute session is one ‘pomodoro’ so when you have
completed this you deserve a short break. You should try to move about a
bit during the break.
Then set the timer for another 25 minutes and keep working. At the end of
the next ‘pomodoro’ you have another short break. As you complete the
items on the ‘to-do’ list you should tick them off, to give you a feeling of
satisfaction that you’re getting the job done.

Host: OK … I get it. Can you use any timer? Most people have timers on their
phones these days, can you use that?

Peter: You could, but the danger is that then you check messages on your phone or
you start looking at apps. I use my dad’s kitchen timer and I make sure I
switch off my phone when I’m studying. I
get so much more done. In the breaks I sometimes check my phone but only
if I’ve completed some of the items on my to-do list.

Host: Three to five minutes isn’t long for a break. Is that enough time?

Peter: Well, when you’ve had four or five short breaks you can take a longer
break, then you start again.

Host: And it works?

Peter: Yes! It works for me. It stops me wasting time. My work is much more
effective when I use the timer. It’s like short, intense periods of work. I
actually get my homework done a lot quicker now which leaves me more
free time, so for me it works really well.

Host: I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks for coming in, Peter.

Peter: You’re welcome. Thanks for inviting me.
