I will tell you about Elizabeth House in Canterbury, once home to the famous carpenter Jonathan Owen. He bought the house in 1965, although he had first seen it 5 years earlier, he was actually interested. in the house as a traditional flat in England and paid £5,000 for it without thinking twice because it had standard and regulatory construction methods during the Middle Ages in the United Kingdom at that time he had worked at the University of Canterbury as a Chief Carpenter who ran a small construction company, his professional success was abundant, but his family life was not so successful, his parents had suffered from diabetes and mental illness and his brother Dan was ill with pneumonia and moved into Elizabeth's house.

He began the new life of him, Jonathan. He regarded the house as a pure

exam

ple of Eastern English tradition or country house and did some of the most successful framing work in building it here. The backyard and garden of the house became quiet and peaceful. The materials used to make the wall, chimney and roof were collected from the local area. most of the oaks were in front of the front door before you heard the rest of the program. You have some time to look at questions 15 to 20. Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20 as you go. El Camino, there is the Rose.

Garden to your right and you will find to your left an area that has interesting types of sunflowers as well as some lovely carnations, it is known as the rainbow of the sun and was designed by his brother Dan who had studied garden arts in Paris. The next destination is the Japanese pedestrian bridge with exotic plants from the Asian mountains and fruits growing on it, follow the path to the second corner and on your left you will see the entrance to the pear tree with its 200-year-old branches. Follow the path until you arrive. On the front of the house I will now give you a couple of wishes as you tour this charming building.

Your tour guide will introduce you and explain their history and insights if you need to purchase any of Jonathan's manuals or other souvenirs you may enter. the house where you will find the store that is located between the road and the water mill. I guess at this time you'll also need a break and some refreshments at the snack bar. If you have a break, there is a beautiful walk. towards the Cotton River this is the best view for visitors who can cross the field that runs along the trail near the windmill in the fall this area will open a small event or festival that is definitely worth visiting, it is family friendly, is a good place to Grow strawberries every season, most residents are ready to produce local products.

Additionally, the City Council helps improve the Grape Festival by promoting and marketing it through online and offline methods. Last year, about 100 tons of grapes were harvested and sold in the city's commercial center. Now we will have a good opportunity to see an orchard behind the house which is the end of the second part. You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to the second part. Part three, you will hear a conversation between the students and David about gallery marketing. First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24. Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24. We

real

ly need to work on this Gallery marketing task.

We only have 2 weeks left until the end of the month to set up. Okay, so how about we start now? We need to follow the instructions. We must look for an area of ​​tourism. Industries such as the museum or gallery. There are many sites online. What are they about? The National Science Museum, the History Museum, the War Museum. the ribbon modern art gallery, etc., you have more, we have a lot. I have an idea to find out the best comment, this Friday we will get more information at the Museum of London because it shows all the guides for visitors to museums or galleries in the UK it also organizes a small workshop on the marketing of non-profit tourism industries, so after visiting them we have to use research methods such as telephone interviews, street questionnaires or sending emails, we

real

ly have no other option.

To send the email correctly, we don't have to waste time deciding between them, by the way, how do we get the responses? um, let's contact the Museum of London information center. In fact, it may be useful for us to collect data through our course leader. people, we have to interview well, we have to divide into three groups and it seems that we have to interview 30 people for each group, so 90 Al together, then it also depends on the ages, right, that's right, are all the requirements ? Yes, it seems first of all which part we are going to choose, my preference would be a modern art gallery since that is where I spend most of my time.

I think you are wrong about something. I don't think there are many differences in the exhibitions there. I mean, there are young people and old men and women, amateurs and professionals, all going to the galleries, so let's make it a ceramics exhibition, so basically what two groups will we compare and contrast for that man and woman? Absolutely also most of my respondents like the same ceramics. Like me, I also think that different age groups could be changed to highlight the differences before

listening

to the rest of the conversation. You have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.

Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30. I think you are right. We'll take some comments, the age groups are teenagers 20s, 30s, 40s and up, what do you think of this? Great, that will give us more details, how about the type of ceramics you like? Let's give them some options and then we can just check boxes, okay? they have Asians, Europeans, Africans, what else, something special, well we should include the Incas in Peru, some people like this style, you know, okay, and then we should know their understanding of ceramics, they can learn about that thanks to a gallery curator who can inform you. the patterns and marks through images and local clay.

I'm curious how they were made. I am in a process of painting and things embedded in the surface at that time, the equipment and materials were not good compared to today. I agree. It should also include a container to win, of course, right. The next step might be about where they were actually from, were they made from local clay, weren't they things like Mountain Lake basement etc.? I think one more thing is the color on the bottle. How did the Ancients get the shade? On the Internet it said that they obtained it through dried plants. They were working again to make a tone, drying and sorting.

Well, I see that to get a harder tone they included other strong herbs or something at that time, the colors. They were used by the rich with properties great, you have a lot of data David no no, it's just starting we have to look for something special with more details and history for the presentation next week which is the end of the third part now you have 30 seconds To check their answers to part three, part four, listen to part of a lecture given by a waste recycling management professor. First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. Hello everyone, this morning. At first I am going to tell you about the flea markets in England, we were surprised to know that only 15% of people here in England make an effort to collect waste which is less than in other European countries and could also decrease in a couple of years . At the same time, unless the government adopts strict regulation for local industries and households, the UK government's target means that by 2012 we must reduce our waste emissions by 45% compared to 2000. City councils can offer support to achieve that goal by participating in the national ecological campaign. and invest in local flea markets, most of these markets reduce waste emissions from landfills.

A flea market or meat exchange is a strange type of business where very cheap or second-hand products are sold or beds are made, since it can be indoors, such as in a warehouse or a school gym. or it may be outdoors, such as in a field or under a tent, flea market vendors display the products used on the table for sale, such as some unwanted household items to operate the trade, including a variety of used live products, many flea markets in Europe, European countries. have food vendors who sell snacks and drinks to visitors and can be part of a small event like carnivals or concerts as part of our research, our team carried out a questionnaire with people from the local area and the results said that we need to open more thrift shopping. stores, however, one problem is that there is a lack of information and marketing to solve the problems.

City councils should invest and support flea markets by doing things like creating parking spaces, organizing public safety promotions using the Internet and other resources that we were also surprised to discover. how waste such as furniture, computers, kitchen tools and other similar objects are reused, and wooden furniture or electronic products are easy to recycle because they can be reused over and over again without weakening. Around 3 million electronic products are thrown away each year and around 500,000 pieces are thrown away. of furniture or also discarded only a fifth is collected and fortunately recycled through many local flea markets in 2009 there are around 3,000 flea markets in England the number is increasing steadily so far surprisingly by collecting less than 15% of old books are imports a lot of paper so that more paper can be recycled in the UK Europe recycles 50% of its paper and Germany recycles 80% of its paper when recycling was launched there were quality problems so it was very difficult to reuse the paper on the office sheets, however,These problems have now been resolved and The Union Flea Markets based in East London produces high quality recycled paper.

Another Union-loving newspaper currently sells paper that has gone through a sorting process to farmers or gardeners as fertilizer, so, in short, there seem to be a number of activities that allow people to reuse waste, but the problem Substantial is to encourage people to think twice before taking their waste to a flea market instead of throwing it away. I think the recycling program will make us save materials and protect the environment in the future and next time I will show the plan to promote it, that is, the end of the fourth part, now you have 1 minute to check your answers to the fourth part, i.e. the end of the listening comprehension test in paper I, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet
