Transcript — A. LISTENING — Part 1 (5 short conversations) (TTS từ transcript)
Woman:   Lucy’s joining the tennis club, so that’ll be more equipment I have to buy.

Man:   Oh well, don’t waste too much money. We bought Miranda everything, but then she only went once because she didn’t like the teacher. Actually, I think we’ve still got some of it somewhere. There’s a box of balls in the cupboard certainly, but she gave her cousin the racket, and she wears the shoes for other things. But I could look in the cupboard and give you what’s there.

Woman:   Oh thanks, that’d be great. That would be really helpful

2   What can’t the woman find?

Woman:   I’m going to mend and paint the shelves in your bedroom today.

Man:   Great, Mum. Anything I can do to help?

Woman:   Yes, can you go to the shop and get me a new paint brush – this one’s too old. But before you do that, ask your father what he’s done with the hammer – I’ve looked everywhere for it. There was nothing in the toolbox except this pair of scissors which I lost months ago!

3   Which ring has the woman lost?

Woman:   I wonder if you can help me? I ate here in this restaurant last night, and I think I left my ring in the bathroom when I washed my hands. Have you seen it? It’s got a square bluey-green stone with lots of smaller stones round it. It’s quite valuable but that’s not the point – it was my grandmother’s and I’d hate to lose it.

4   What time did the girl arrive?

Man:   Sorry I’m late – have you been here long?

Woman:   Well … not really, about five or ten minutes perhaps. I left home at five past six and got here at exactly quarter to seven.

Man:   Well … if we hurry, we’ll still make it for the beginning of the film at seven.

5   What will be on television at 10 o’clock this evening?

Man:   Here is an announcement about a change to our advertised programmes this evening. The football match between Spain and Hungary is now going to finish later than expected. When the match ends at 10.30 our programmes will continue as planned with a visit to an open air rock concert. But ‘The Blue World’ programme about life under the sea, which was due to begin at 10.00 o’clock this evening will now be shown next week instead.

6   Where will the party be?

Man:   What time are we leaving for Maria’s party tonight?

Woman:   Not too early. It’ll only take ten minutes to get to the nightclub.

Man:   Oh, I thought we were all meeting at the outdoor concert?

Woman:   There’s been a change of plan. The two of us are meeting Maria at the club. We’re told her the party’s there. But the other guests will go to her flat and prepare everything while we keep Maria busy. We’ll take her back there after about an hour – she will be surprised!

7   What did the man buy?

Woman:   Oh, good, you’re home! Did you get all the shopping? How about the orange juice?

Man:   Well, actually, at first I thought the shop didn’t have any orange juice. I was thinking we’d have to manage without. Then I realised they’d moved it to a different shelf. I hope this is enough.

Woman:   Don’t worry, that’s plenty. Did you find the grapes?

Man:   Yes, there were lots of grapes. Only they looked a bit sour, so I got strawberries instead. They were a bit expensive, though.

Which of Miranda's things will Lucy be able to use?

What can't the woman find?

What time did the girl arrive?

What will be on television at 10 o'clock this evening?

What did the man buy?

A. LISTENING — Part 3 (history of the electric guitar) (TTS từ transcript)
Transcript — A. LISTENING — Part 3 (history of the electric guitar) (TTS từ transcript)
Lecturer: During today's lecture in this series about the history of popular music, I'm going to look at the different stages the electric guitar went through before we ended up with the instrument we know so well today.

The driving force behind the invention of the electric guitar was simply the search for a louder sound. In the late 1890s Orville Gibson, founder of the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Manufacturing Company, designed a guitar with an arched or curved top, as is found on a violin. This made it both stronger and louder than earlier designs but it was still hard to hear amongst other louder instruments.

During the 1920s with the beginnings of big-band music, commercial radio and the rise of the recording industry, the need to increase the volume of the guitar became even more important. Around 1925 John Dopyera came up with a solution. He designed a guitar, known as 'The National Guitar', with a metal body which had metal resonating cones built into the top. It produced a brash tone which became popular with guitarists who played blues but was unsuitable for many other types of music.

Another way of increasing the volume was thought of in the 1930s. The C. F. Martin Company became known for its 'Dreadnought', a large flat-top acoustic guitar that used steel strings instead of the traditional gut ones. It was widely imitated by other makers.

These mechanical fixes helped, but only up to a point. So guitarists began to look at the possibilities offered by the new field of electronic amplification. What guitar players needed was a way to separate the guitar's sound and boost it in isolation from the rest of a band or the surroundings.

Guitar makers and players began experimenting with electrical pickups which are the main means of amplification used today. The first successful one was invented in 1931 by George Beauchamp. He introduced to the market a guitar known as 'The Frying Pan' because the playing area consisted of a small round disk. The guitar was hollow and was made of aluminum and steel. He amplified the sound by using a pair of horseshoe-shaped magnets. It was the first commercially successful electric guitar.

So by the mid-1930s, an entirely new kind of sound was born. Yet along with its benefits, the new technology brought problems. The traditional hollow body of a guitar caused distortion and feedback when combined with electromagnetic pickups. Musicians and manufacturers realised that a new kind of guitar should be designed from scratch with amplification in mind.

In 1935 Adolph Rickenbacker produced a guitar which took his name - 'The Rickenbacker Electro Spanish'. It was the first guitar produced in plastic, which, because of its weight, vibrated less readily than wood. It eliminated the problems of earlier versions which were plagued by acoustic feedback. 'The Electro Spanish' had its own problems, however, because it was very heavy, smaller than other guitars of the period, and was quite awkward to play.

Developments continued and in 1941 Les Paul made a guitar which he called 'The Log', and true to its name, it was totally solid. All previous guitars had been hollow or partly hollow. It looked slightly strange but the next step had been made towards the modern electric guitar.

The first guitar successfully produced in large numbers was made in 1950 by Leo Fender. His Spanish-style electric guitar, known as a 'Fender Broadcaster', had a bolt-on neck, and was initially criticised by competitors as being very simple and lacking in craftsmanship. Yet it was immediately successful and was particularly suited to mass production, spurring other guitar companies to follow Fender's lead.

In 1951 Leo Fender revolutionised the music world yet again when he produced an electric bass guitar. This was the first commercially successful bass model to be played like a guitar. It was easier for players to hit an exact note: that's why it was called 'The Precision'. Although there had already been electric standup basses, this was much more portable. It is now standard in the line-up of any rock band and some historians suggest that entire genres of music, such as reggae and funk, could not exist without it.

In 1952 the Gibson company became Fender's first major competitor when Ted McCarty created 'The Gibson Les Paul' guitar. It was distinctive because it was coloured gold. The reason for this was to disguise the fact that it was made from two different kinds of wood. In 1954 Leo Fender responded to this successful instrument by introducing 'The Fender Stratocaster'. It is easily identified by its double cutaway design and three pickups. This model may be the most influential electric guitar ever produced. The modern guitar as we know it was here to stay.

A. LISTENING — Part 4 (Harry Park adventure travel) (TTS từ transcript)
Transcript — A. LISTENING — Part 4 (Harry Park adventure travel) (TTS từ transcript)
Int:   Harry Park, you run a travel company which organises adventure holidays in some difficult places. How did you first become interested in ‘adventure travel’?

Harry:   Well, my father worked in an insurance company once he had a family. But before that he’d spent several years traveling the world, and he never stopped telling us about it. His stories were much more exciting than the books I read, and they made me want to travel and have adventures of my own.

Int:   And what made you decide to start an adventure travel company?

Harry:   Well, when I was in my twenties, I travelled a lot in different countries. I went exploring and climbing in mountains and deserts. I wanted to show other people how wonderful these things were. The business has been very successful, but when I started it I didn’t know if I’d make any money.

Int:   You company’s called Far and Wide. How did you choose the name?

Harry:   Well, I just called it Park Travel at first. But everyone thought that was terribly boring! My wife kept suggesting different things, but in the end it was a customer who gave me the idea. Far and Wide is also the title of a book that a friend wrote, so it reminds me of him, too.

Int:   Great … The places you visit are usually very unspoilt, Harry. Some people think it’s not a good idea to take tourists there. What would you say to them?

Harry:   Well, most of the places we visit have no inhabitants, so we aren’t going to spoil people’s way of life, or bring in things like television and fridges! And I make sure that we always take care of the environment. We are careful not to cause pollution, so we take all our rubbish away.

Int:   Some of the things you do are also dangerous. Do you enjoy danger?

Harry:   Well, it’s not a question of enjoying it – it’s just that you can’t do what I do without thinking about the possible dangers. I’m never frightened though. If I’m taking a group up a mountain or something like that, I just concentrate on what I have to do and get on with it.

Int:   You’ve been to some fascinating places, Harry. What’s your favourite?

Harry:   It’s in India. You travel along a river through spectacular scenery and up into the mountains in Madhya Pradesh. In the valley on the other side there’s a wonderful old castle. It’s magical. The mountains hide it, so few people know it’s there …

Int:   Thanks for talking to us, Harry …

Harry:   Thank you.
