Reporter A: What is a typical day like for you when you're in Africa, Dr Goodall?

Dr Goodall: Well, I get up at quarter to seven. For breakfast I usually have a piece of bread and a cup of coffee. Then I go and find the chimpanzees.

Reporter A: What happens when you find the chimps?

Dr Goodall: I spend the day following them in the forest. It can be very tiring following the chimps in the jungle... but it's always interesting, I never know where I'm going to go!

Reporter A: What's the hardest part of the day?

Dr Goodall: I am used to living in the jungle now. That has never been difficult for me, actually. But in the day I normally feel most tired around 3 o'clock.

Reporter A: When do you stop following the chimps and go back home?

Dr Goodall: When it starts to get dark. The chimps choose a place to rest. The young ones play up in the branches, it's lovely in the sunset after a hot day. When I know they are settling down, I head for home.

Reporter A: How do you spend your evenings?

Dr Goodall: The evening is magical. It's dark by 7.30 pm. I jump into the lake. The clear, fresh water makes all the tiredness go away. Then I cook something like beans, onions and tomatoes over an open fire.

Reporter A: Thanks, Dr Goodall!

Текст № 3 для прослушивания

 

Presenter: In today's programme, we're talking about faces and what they can tell us about a person's character. In the studio is Lillian Scott who's written a book about the skill of face-reading. Lillian, welcome.

L: Hi.

PR: And the book's called?..

L: The Naked Face, which sounds good because I wanted to focus on things which everyone can see, but which we fail not to notice.

PR: Really? And what character traits can you see in people's faces? Give us some examples.

L: Good signs for success at work are a strong chin, which represents determination, and of course the shape of the lips has long been associated with that as well.

PR: Right. But what about if you don't look like that? How can you succeed in a job interview, for example?

L: Yes, you certainly can, and of course women especially try to do this. The first thing to remember is that you should look people in the eye when you speak, even if it means moving your chair. Some people use make-up or a new hair-do to emphasize certain facial features, but it's best to get professional advice because too much, or badly applied make-up would be a mistake.

Текст № 4 для прослушивания

 

PR: Last year, in a television series called Faking it, various people were given four weeks to learn the skills of a new profession. Peter Harris, a painter and decorator from Liverpool, was one of them. Peter, welcome.

P: Hi.

PR: So why were you selected to take part in the programme, Peter?

P: Well, one day, I got a phone call from someone asking me if I'd like to take part. They were looking for someone who wanted to spend four weeks learning to be an artist, so you'd learn how to do abstract art. And the cameras would be there to see how you got on.

PR: And what did your friends say?

P: They thought it was funny, because I know nothing about art. Before the filming started, I went down to the local art gallery with them to have a look at some abstract art.

PR: So now you're an artist, right?

P: Sort of, yeah. Actually, since the show, I've sold about 15 paintings which has impressed my family more than anything. No, the only people I didn't like were some of the people who bought my work. They only seemed to be interested in how much it would cost in the future.

PR: Peter, thank you.
