Listening Lesson 1-10
Part One
W:Good morning. How may I help you?
M:Yes, I was wondering...do you have any one bedroom apartments available?
W:Yes, we do. You're looking for yourself?
M:Yes, it's for me.
W:Let me just get some information from you then for our application form. May I have your name?
M:Yes, it's Kingston, James Kingston.
W:And what's your current address?
M:I live over on State Street number 17, oh, five. State Street apartment seven.
W:And your phone number?
M:My home phone. It's seven, two, one, O, five, eight, four.
W:Work phone?
M:Seven two one, one, one, two, seven.
W:Great. I need to know just one more thing. What is your date of birth?
M:December 12, 1978.
W:Thank you. Now you're interested in a one bedroom apartment. Correct?
M:That's right.
W:Did you want just a one bedroom or a one bedroom with a den? We have several of those available and a study is really nice. Having that extra room gives you space for a small home office, or you can use it as a guest room.
M:I don't think so I live alone. I don't need an extra room.
W:Right. Then I'll put you down for a simple one bedroom with a balcony?
M:No, I don't need that. I'll tell you what I do need, though, is a parking space.
W:We have garage parking spaces available for a low monthly fee.
M:Great, I really need that. Oh, and, um, something else. I need an apartment with lots of closets for storage.
W:We actually have storage areas in the basement. You can rent your own storage space by the month.
M:That sounds like a good idea.
W:All right, so I'll put you down for a storage space in the basement.
M:Sounds good.
W:Are you interested in our exercise club? We have an exercise room with several pieces of equipment as well as a sawna.
M:Is it included in the rent?
W:It's available for a small extra fee.
M:Then I don't think so. I can always go for a walk for free.
W:All right then. One bedroom, no balcony. I have several apartments you might like. One of them has a fireplace. Would you be interested in that?
M:Do I have to pay extra for it?
W:Actually, no. That apartment is slightly smaller than our other one bedroom. So, even though it has a fireplace, the rent isn't any higher.
M:Okay, then I'll take the fireplace.
W:There is one drawback to that apartment. It doesn't have a washing machine. You'll have to go out to a laundromat.
M:Oh, well. I suppose that doesn't matter. Can I see the apartment today?
W:Certainly, I can show it to you now. However. We're still painting it so it won't be available until next month.
M:I was hoping to move next week, but maybe I can wait. And I'll need a small deposit to hold it for you, just 50% of the first month's rent.

M:That room is only $315 a night, If you stay for three nights.
W:Wow. Do you have anything more economical?
M:Let me see. Ah, for next week. Yes, I have another room that is just $265 a night for a minimum three nights stay, of course.
W:That's still a lot of money, but I'll take it.
Text 3
M:Is this the lost luggage office?
W:Yes. How may I help you?

W:Good afternoon class. There have been a number of questions about the time for our final exam. As you know, this class regularly meets from 2:30 until four, Wednesday and Friday. Some of you have realized that during exam week there is a different schedule thence the questions.
M:Our final exam will be on Wednesday of exam week. It is scheduled to start at 1:45, and should last about an hour and a half. So you'll be out of here. You're at around 3:15 or so.
Text 2
W:Could you tell me what time the train to Chicago leaves?
M:The next train is at 515.
W:That's a long wait. It's only three now. What time does it arrive in Chicago?
M:The trip is a little over six hours. It arrives at 11:30.
M:Hi Cindy. I wanted to see if you could meet me for lunch to-morrow.
W:Let's see to-morrow's Monday, I have a spanish class in the morning. Yes, I think that's a good idea.
M:Okay let's meet at 12:00.
W:Well, I have a hair cut at 11:30. Better make it quarter past.
M:Quarter past twelve, great.
W:I'm so glad we're getting together. I'll be really nervous because I have a job interview in the afternoon. You can help me get ready for it.
M:You know what's good for nerves? Exercise.
W:I have my exercise class tomorrow at four. That should help.
Part Four
M:Today I'll talk about the American Crow, also known as the common crow. This bird has a bad reputation, and many people consider it to be a pest. But the American crow, and many of its cousins in the Corvid family, are actually among the most intelligent of all the birds.
W:There are about 40 species in the crow family, and they can be found in most parts of the world. You'll find crows in North America, although interestingly enough not in South America. While crows live in cold areas of the far north, close to the Arctic region, there are none in Antarctica.
M:They also like warm regions. There are several species of crows, for example, in Hawaii, and of course, you'll find them in other parts of the world, Europe, Asia, and so on. The American crow is one of the 15 species of crows found in North America, and is also one of the most common.
W:It's not a small bird, measuring 39 to 49 centimetres in length, unlike some of its cousins, the magpie, for example, which is black and white, or the blue jay, which is blue with white and black markings. The American crow is completely black, including the beak and feet.
M:Because of their intensely dark color, some people dislike crows or better said, fear them. Another reason people dislike crows is because they associate these birds with garbage. Crows love garbage and are often seen hanging around dumpsters behind restaurants and grocery stores.
W:In addition to garbage left behind by humans, crows eat seeds, grains, eggs, fish and carrion. They'll eat just about anything. One of their absolute favorite foods is corn. Crows built large nests of sticks, usually in trees or sometimes in bushes.
M:For safety reasons they almost never nest on the ground. Mostly they nest alone, but in some places they've been seen nesting in colonies. The female lays from three to six eggs at a time. The eggs hatch in about 18 days.
W:Next, We'll talk about some studies which have demonstrated the extreme intelligence of these animals. The babies stay in the nest for around a month. Generally 35 days after hatching they have their feathers and are ready to fly.
Part Five
M:So how do you get started?
W:Well, after I decided my topic, I went to the library and did some research. I mean, I read about other studies people had done about TV watching.
M:How did that help you?
W:Oh, it was really important. It gave me lots of ideas about what questions to ask. So after I did the library research, I chose my research method.
M:What did you choose?
W:Well, I could do either interviews or just send around a paper questionnaire. I decided to use the questionnaire because I could get information from a lot more people that way.
M:And then what?
W:I made up the questions for the questionnaire.
M:Wnd who did you give it to?
W:Well, that's what I had to do next. Choose my subjects. You have to think about if you want data from people of a certain age or certain professions and things like that. I decided to ask people like myself, university students.
M:So then you just went around and asked people the questions?
W:Well, first I had to submit my research designed to professor Farley. He had to make sure it was ok before I went ahead with the research.
M:Did he make you change anything?
W:No. He pretty much liked it the way it was. So then I had to send out the questionnaire. I just put it in all the students mailboxes. A lot of them responded. I got a lot of results, pages and pages.
M:Well, what did you do with all that information?
W:Well, I did what Professor Farley told us to do. I made charts and graphs that helped me figure out what all the data meant.
M:Charts and graphs, Huh? I'll have to look at my class notes.
W:Yes, you'd better. The professor outlined the whole process for us.
M:So then you'll just hand in those charts and graphs on Thursday?
W:Well I'll have to write a report too, of course. I mean the professor wants to see our interpretation of the results that's the whole point. Don't you see?
M:Yeah, I guess if I get started now, do you think I'll finish on time?
W:Maybe if you don't have anything else to do this week.
Part Six
M:Hi Janet.
W:Harry. What's up?
M:You know that research project we have to do for Professor Farley's class. Have you started it yet?
W:Started it? I'm almost done.
M:Really? I'm having trouble. Do you think you could help me?
W:You're going to need a lot of help. It's due next Thursday.
M:I know.
W:And it counts for 40% of our final semester grade.
M:I know. So I could really use your help. So what topic did you choose?
W:I did my research about people's TV watching habits.
M:You mean which programs they watch?
W:Yeah, and how often they watch. It was really interesting.
Part Seven
M:Because of the low prices on Raven Island, many tourists travel there with shopping on their minds. What are some of the best bargains available on the island? Well, contrary to what one might think, native handicrafts are not a popular item. And although Raven Island has a beautiful musical tradition, there are not many CDs available of the native music, and the ones that are available are quite expensive.
W:Some very good deals can be found, however, in the perfume shops Raven Island sense, a local factory, produces several fashionable perfumes which they sell at reasonable prices. Jewelry is also popular among tourists and jewelry shops abound.
M:Since fishing is the major island industry, no tourist goes home without a package of smoked fish. If you want to try fishing yourself, however, be sure to bring your own fishing gear. Believe it or not, it's difficult and expensive for tourists to buy it on the island.
Part Eight
W:The weather on Raven Island is always nice, especially during the summer. Summer in the city of Ravensburg is warm, with average temperatures reaching 26 degrees or higher, and the weather is always pleasantly sunny there during July and August.
M:Summer at Blackstone is a bit cooler, with average temperatures of around 23 degrees, and the weather is often windy. Because of course it's located on the coast. Ravensburg has a lot to offer visitors. Its clubs and theaters are well known.
W:So if entertainment is what you're looking for, Ravensburg has the advantage. There. The disadvantage to this is that, particularly during the summer theater festival, the city can become quite crowded with entertainment seekers.
M:Blackstone Beach, on the other hand, is famous for its many fine seafood restaurants, considered to be the best on the island. So if you like seafood, that's the place to go. Unfortunately, eating seafood is the major activity in Blackstone.
W:It's a very quiet town, which is a disadvantage if you're looking for excitement. How can you get there? The Ravensburg airport is actually located a bit out of town. It's 25 kilometers from the city, but frequent bus service, taxis and car rentals make it quite easy to get downtown.
M:Travelers to Blackstone Beach also use the Ravensburg airport, which is about 75 kilometers away. There are three buses a day from the airport to Blackstone or you can rent a car. Of course, right.
Part Nine
W:Good morning. Municipal Museum Of Art information desk.
M:Yes, I'd like to find out about tickets for.
W:Tickets? That's our Special Events Department. Let me transfer you.
W:Special Events.
M:Yes. Hello, I'm interested in the series you have going on now...
W:Oh, you mean our lecture series on the history of art?
M:Actually I meant the concert series.
W:Oh, yes, of course. It's already begun. But there's still a concert tomorrow. That's Thursday. There's also one on Saturday. And then the last one is on Sunday.
M:The one tomorrow is that when they'll be playing the Mozart concerto.
W:Yes, it is.
M:Then I'd like two tickets for that, if they're still available.
W:Yes, we have some tickets left. Now, I'll need your name.
M:It's Stephen Milford. That's M I L F O R D.
W:Since you want tickets for tomorrow, there isn't time to mail in a check. You'll have to pay by credit card.
M:That's not a problem.
W:Then I'll need your credit card number.
M:Oh, of course. It's one, six, five, nine, seven, nine, eight, one, six, four.
W:Eight, one, six, four. Got it. Okay. You wanted two tickets, right?
M:Yes.
W:At 16:35 apiece. That comes out to a total of 32 pounds and 70 p. You can pick up your tickets at the door.
Part Ten
M:Good afternoon, everyone. Today we'll talk about the most important assignment. You'll do in this class, which is write a research paper. I'll start by going over the process step by step. So you'll know exactly what I expect of you.
W:All right let's begin at the beginning. The first step is to choose a topic. I have a list of suggested topics related to the content of this class. And. I'd like you to look over it to find a topic that interests you then since they are somewhat general.
M:I'd like you to narrow your topic choice down to something more specific. You'll need to get my final approval on your topic before you begin your research. The next thing you'll do is gather information on your topic.
W:There are two major places to go for that. At the library. You'll have reference books and other types of books available as well as journals, magazines and newspapers don't forget to look at atlases and other similar sources, too.
M:They contain a lot of useful information then. Of course, there is the internet where you'll find online journals and newspapers, as well as online encyclopedias and much more. After you have gathered some information and had the chance to start thinking about your topic, the next step is to write a thesis statement.
W:This is a critical part of the process, because the bulk of the paper will be about using your information to defend your thesis statement. I will be happy to help you with this, and actually with any other part of your writing process. If you need it now, then let's say you have your thesis statement and you have your information.
M:How do you get started writing? It can seem overwhelming with all your ideas and notes floating around. Writing an outline will help you to start getting focused. Make sure your outline includes three important things.
W:First, your introduction, where you state your thesis, then the body which is the bulk of the paper, and where you make the arguments to support your thesis and finally the conclusion. Here, you'll restate your thesis and summarize your arguments.
M:Now that you have your outline, you can start organizing your notes. Organize them according to the outline. As you go along, you'll start seeing what information is important to emphasize, what information you may actually not want to include, what you need to find out more about, ETC.
W:So, organizing your notes helps you understand your information better. Start to analyze it. The next step is to write your first draft. If you have developed a good outline and organized your notes well, then this should not be too difficult.
M:Following your outline, present your information and analysis of it. Then, of course, the next thing to do is revise your draft. Read it over carefully, checking to make sure that you have explained your ideas clearly and presented your information correctly.
W:You may want to reorganize some of your information at this point too. Finally, you'll type your final draft on the computer. Make sure that you check it for punctuation and spelling errors before you hand it in. Okay, that's a general outline of how to go about writing a research paper now let's talk about the proper format for footnotes and bibliographic entries.
