Part 1:
Receptionist: Good afternoon. How can I help you?
Customer: Good afternoon. I’d like to enquire about some information regarding resort.
Receptionist: What kind of resort would you prefer?
Customer: I want a hot spring resort and it is better to have some indoor or outdoor
water activities.
Receptionist: OK. Let me check. How about Tulip Hot Spring Garden Resort?
Customer: Tell me some details, please.
Receptionist: Fine. It is located in the north suburb near Peak Mountains. Covering about 66
acres of green land with refreshing environment, the resort provides various kinds
of facilities for sports, entertainment, leisure and meetings. And the best part is its hot
spring.
Customer: Great. Could you give me some introduction about the hot spring?
Receptionist: The millennium precipitation of the Tulip hot spring was exploited 3,000
metres deep under the ground. It is sulphur hot spring. The major ingredient is sulphur.
Customer: I heard that when sulphur is sterilised, it’s armless to the human body.
Receptionist: Yes. It plays a significant role in softening the skin, hydrating the skin and
beautifying the skin. It can lower blood pressure and reduce blood fat.
Customer: That’s so great. How about its temperature?
Receptionist: It’s 65°C. There are some attentions about the hot spring.
Customer: Attentions?
Receptionist: Yes. The hot spring water contains various minerals which come out first in
black colour, change to clear water afterwards with a mineral smell. Adjust
water temperature to one’s comfort before bathing.
Customer: OK.
Receptionist: And do not bath immediately after drinking and please take your jewellery off
when you are bathing.
Customer: Fine. How about water activities?

experience four different sauna rooms and 21 different SPA pools. For a change, one can try
the standard swimming pool, tennis courts and the bowling.

Part 2:
Student: My group has been doing a project on the importance of architecture in people's
lives and whether it has any impact on the lives of people in general. (1) The main part I
have played is in the collection of data to find out what effect, if any, various buildings have
on people's mood, i.e. whether ugly buildings make people unhappy and whether beautiful
buildings do the opposite. We had originally thought of starting measuring people's
reactions by using a questionnaire with about 40 questions, which we were going to hand
out to people including students at the university. (2) But we were worried that doing the
questionnaire would be too time-consuming for people to fill in, so we gave up the idea. I
then asked several of the postgraduate students for advice. One of them came up with the
simple idea of showing people images of various buildings from different eras and styles,
instead of giving out the questionnaire and asking them to indicate how they felt on a scale
of 1-5 about the images, where I was unhappy and 5 was very happy. (3) People would also
be given the option of not saying what they felt. Using the scale meant that it would be
much simpler to record people's reactions. I decided to follow this advice and so the first
stage was to collect a large number of images. I used Google to print off colour images of
views of houses and apartment blocks where people live and different types of buildings
where they work. I started with about 30 or 40 and then reduced them to ten images. Media
resources in the Amory Building at the Judd Street branch of the university helped me
produce the final images. I had them blown up to A4 size and we used colour rather than
black and white to make the detail on the images clearer. (4) We made five sets of images
and for protection when handling we pasted the images onto hard card. Then using a
machine to wrap them with plastic, we laminated the cards.
Five of us targeted different age groups; we went to a local school where we obtained
permission to ask a group of teenagers between 11 and 18. We also asked a sample of the
general public including tourists from all over the world, as they exited the Tate Modern in
London, what they thought. We aimed to ask people from different age groups, namely 20
to 40, and 50 and over. What our group learnt most from the project was first of all the value

Page 5 of 7
of teamwork. (5) And secondly we found that we had to appoint a leader to stop us pulling
in different directions and falling apart, so this turned out to be an invaluable lesson for all
of us.

Part 3:
In Western countries, many people have fatty deposits on the inside wall of their
arteries. These deposits build up over a number of years, narrowing the arteries. Sometimes
the deposits can stimulate the formation of blood clots. If a clot breaks free, it can enter the
circulation and sooner or later it will become trapped and block off a blood vessel, possibly
causing a heart attack or a stroke.
When researchers looked at the fatty deposits they found they contained huge
amounts of of a substance called cholesterol. Everyone has cholesterol in their blood
although often the amounts detected in heart disease victims are much greater. So what is
the link between what you eat and the cholesterol in your blood? The answer seems to be
that amount and type of fat in your diet are crucial in determining the cholesterol level in the
blood.
Food contains two main types of fats. They are called saturated and unsaturated fats.
Saturated fats are the baddies, raising blood cholesterol level, while unsaturated fats, called
polyunsaturated, will help to lower it.
Polyunsaturated fats also contain lots of essential fatty acids like linoleic acid. As
their name suggests, essential fatty acids are vital for health and cannot be made by the
body. We should try to reduce the amount of saturated fats we eat and partially replace it
with polyunsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats are naturally found in some nuts and seeds
like sunflowers seeds, and in oily fish mackerel. Margarine and oils which contain a high
proportion of polyunsaturated fats are clearly labelled as such. Products which are high in
polyunsaturated are also low in saturated fats.
Part 4
Good morning and welcome to this talk on Canada. Many people think of Canada as
a land of ice and snow. They think of it as a young country with few inhabitants, a country
of English-speaking white people. While some of this is true, it is also an inaccurate
description of the country we call Canada.
Canada lies in the northern half of the continent of North America. The most
northern parts of Canada are sometimes called “the land of the midnight sun”, because at

Page 6 of 7
certain times of the year the sun never sets and is still shining faintly at midnight. This
northern part of Canada is cold and mostly snow-covered all year round.
Most of the people who live in the northern part of Canada are called Inuit or Dene-
They were once called “Eskimos”. They are the original people of this land and are part of
what are called the “First Nation”. As we move to the more southern parts of Canada the
land changes and so do the people. Moving from east to west in southern Canada we travel
from the Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island. These small provinces, with small populations, border on Atlantic Ocean.
The land in these provinces is not very fertile, so fishing, forestry and mining are the main
industries, although in some small areas agriculture is also important. If we travel west from
the Atlantic Provinces we come to central Canada composed of the large provinces of
Quebec and Ontario. Both provinces are rich in natural resources, have fertile land and are
the centres of industry for Canada’s largest cities; Toronto and Montreal are found in these
provinces.
The province of Quebec is the centre of French language and culture in Canada. In
fact, Montreal if the second largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris. Finally, in
the far west of Canada we come to the province of British Columbia. This province is
separated from the prairies by the Rocky Mountains and is bounded on the west by the
Pacific Ocean. British Columbia is often called simply “the West Coast”. British Columbia
is an attractive place for tourists because of its mild climate, spectacular mountains, seacoast
and beautiful forests. Agriculture, forestry, shipping and fishing are major industries in
British Columbia.
The people of this land of Canada are as varied as its landscape. The original settlers,
those we call the people of the first nations, came from Asia by crossing the Baring Strait
from Siberia to Alaska. In their new environment, they developed many new languages and
cultures. In the 16th century, the first Europeans arrives in eastern Canada. They came from
Britain and France. By making treaties with the original inhabitants they gradually
established colonies in eastern and central Canada. After a war with France, Britain took
over the French colonies in Quebec and eastern Canada. By the end of 18 th century, all of
Canada was under British rule. From this time until the present country, most of the
immigrants to Canada were British, Scottish and Irish. In this century, however, Canada has
had an influence of settlers from all over the world. There are now hundreds of thousands of
people from Asia, Africa and South America who now call Canada their home.
