Transcript — Listening Part 2 — Marta Stanton (Cambridge B1)
Man: Today I'm talking to Marta Stanston, who runs her own 'mobile' restaurant. Marta, how did you get into the restaurant business?
Marta: Well, I learnt to cook at college. I always wanted to open my own restaurant – but had no money. So I got a job as a chef. I had all sorts of ideas for new dishes, which the staff thought would sell, but the guy who owned the place wasn't interested. That's when a friend told me about the 'mobile restaurant' idea. It sounded great.
Man: Tell us about it.
Marta: Well, it works like this: you decide on a menu – obviously you have to be able to cook – then you advertise it so people can book a meal. The most amazing thing is all the advertising's done through social-networking websites. People set up tables in their sitting-room, or in a city car park, an empty factory – anywhere in fact. And because you know how many people you're cooking for, food doesn't get wasted.
Man: So why was it good for you?
Marta: Well, various reasons. Like, I could buy all the ingredients without risk because you make customers pay in advance. The greatest advantage, though, is by having a maximum of ten customers, I didn't need to hire a waiter. Then, of course, I could prepare everything at home – just take a camping gas cooker with me, plus some plates, glasses, knives and forks.
Man: Do you never run into problems?
Marta: The whole experience is fun. People watch you cook and the atmosphere's relaxed. I did one meal on a beach which almost went wrong because I didn't think about the wind blowing sand into people's food. Fortunately, I'd brought a large umbrella to protect myself from the sun, so I put it around their table instead!
Man: And you sometimes use your own flat?
Marta: If the weather's bad, people come to my home instead, but it gets very crowded. Even though I've actually got enough chairs and a big table, it's not ideal. I was worried we might disturb the neighbours, but they've been alright about it. I love the temporary feel of the mobile idea, so home's not really what it's about.
Man: So, what's the future of mobile restaurants?
Marta: Well, it's rather uncertain. Lots of new ones are popping up because it's become fashionable. I think health inspectors will want to check them out. That doesn't worry me, because I'm a trained chef. But if someone got ill in a less serious one, we might all get a bad name. So I guess inspections are a good thing.

What did Marta dislike about her first job?

At first, what did Marta find the most surprising about mobile restaurants?

For Marta, the best thing about mobile restaurants was __________.

Marta had difficulty serving food on a beach because of __________.

Marta tries to avoid serving meals in her home because __________.

What worries Marta about the future?

Listening Part 3 — Jim Dunne (Ready for First Unit 2)
Transcript — Listening Part 3 — Jim Dunne (Ready for First Unit 2)
Hello, Jim Dunne here, with a look at what's on in the area this coming week. And I'm delighted to be able to tell you that Pagagnini is in town, with its own special mix of music and comedy. It's great fun and I can guarantee the whole family will enjoy watching these four guys. They play all those bits of classical music that everyone knows, but sometimes can't put a name to - and they have a laugh at the same time. Pagagnini is actually based in Madrid, but the show tours a lot and I was lucky enough to see it last year with my wife and our two girls when we were in Mexico. They're a really versatile bunch of musicians. At one point, they start using their violins and cellos as guitars, mandolins and even percussion instruments. And they move away from classical into rock, blues and country and western. Very impressive and we're all looking forward to seeing them again. They're on stage for about ninety minutes, but it's a very intense hour and a half, I can tell you. It's exhausting just watching them, and they don't stop for an interval, either. Now, for those of you who like Irish dancing there's Rhythm of the Dance at the Apollo Theatre. Most of you will know about Riverdance, which began way back in 1994 at the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, curiously enough. But Rhythm of the Dance goes back a long way too. It started out just five years later in 1999 in Norway. It's a similar kind of thing: the traditional music, the step dancing and so on, but there's a theme running through it. It's a kind of history of the Irish Celts. I haven't seen it yet, but I certainly will do - they're clearly very popular. It says here in the publicity that Rhythm of the Dance has played to live audiences totalling well over four million in no fewer than forty-four countries. And if you want to find out more about the show, go to their website. There isn't any Reviews section to look at there, but if you click on where it says 'Photo gallery' you get a pretty good idea of what to expect. Now, the circus is back in town. Not just any circus, but the hugely talented Cirque Éloize from Canada. They're at the Regent Theatre again. The show's called ID and it promises to be every bit as good as the one they put on the first time they were there. That one was called Rain - as in, the wet stuff that falls from the sky. And there was plenty of water on stage, as you'll remember if you went to see it.

SECTION 3 READING — Part 1 (41–48)

Choose the correct answer.

Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy, and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

People in London may prefer the underground due to __________.

Public transportation systems in the US are good in __________.

Which is NOT TRUE?

"at their own convenience" is closest to __________.

Which is true about transport in Britain?

People in Britain refuse public transport because __________.
