Be better than that that is the end of section two you now have half a minute to check your answers now turn to section three section three you will hear a conversation between two senior students who have to organize a competition for the University open Day first you have

Some time to look at questions 21- 27 listen carefully and answer questions 21227 hi Grant what sort of competition do you think we should organize well Claire the open Day committee was pretty clear on that it must be something with youth appeal that makes sense after all

Most of the visitors will have just left High School yeah so I was thinking technology do you mean something which uses the latest technology like an iPod something like that but a bit more expensive maybe what about about the latest iPhone I’m saving up for one

Right now let’s make it an iPad I wish I’d had a tablet computer when I started University yeah that’s a great idea that should get a lot of our younger visitors interested right let’s go with that then fine we could go into town now and buy

It I saw great deals advertised at the Rick Smith store oh I don’t think we’ll have to worry about that a university purchase order will probably be arranged through the resources and supplies section well that’s settled then what about the competition is it going to be

A game of skill or a guessing game or something else what do you think would work best good question I don’t think it should be anything too hard or anything that will make the visitors look silly silly some of them have such fragile egos true so something that anyone can

Do nothing competitive no skill or intelligence involved that’s right but the main thing is that the contestants have a lot of fun how do we do that well I was thinking of a popular TV series science fiction or science fantasy I don’t actually know the difference go on

It’s a series where in every episode the main characters step through a portal into another world or another era what’s a portal it’s like a Gateway or entrance to something okay I get it they’ll be stepping into the new world of tertiary learning so somehow we encourage people

To step through this portal then what they get their photo taken is that all not exactly let me think I can’t see how that’s a competition unless we pick the best photograph but there’s not much excitement or involvement in that for the participants H wait we don’t decide on

The winner I mean no one person does we get them the public to do it how put all the photos on Facebook and the one with the most votes wins I agree good idea but there’s just one more thing I’m not clear about how do we get hold of a

Portal I was thinking graduates of the engineering department could construct it as part of their contribution to open day before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 28 to 30 now listen and answer questions 28 to 30 how do visitors enter the competition

On open day well firstly they have to make their way to the portal photo booth on campus okay A bit like a treasure hunt to start with yes and then they get their photo taken stepping through the portal and they’ll have to write down their details you know name phone number

Email no hang on let’s keep it simple just name and email address should do then after say the 30th of July people can visit the university Facebook page and vote for their favorite favorite photo so the photo with the most votes wins yes I think that should generate

Quite a bit of Interest what about a cutof date of course maybe um the most popular photo as of 5 p.m. on the 10th of August will collect the iPad and the winner will be notified by email and the winning photo will be enlarged and published in full color on the

University Facebook page that is the end of section three you now have half a minute to check your answers now turn to section 4 section 4 you will hear a talk given by a lecturer in the Environmental Studies department on agriculture and environment first you have some time to

Look at questions 31 to 40 listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40 welcome to this lecture on agriculture and the environment I hope it is enough to make some of you decide on a career in the field of Agricultural Science as you all know food is a basic

Human need and producing enough of it is the single greatest challenge facing the modern world developing nations have rapidly expanding populations so agriculture should be Central to any development agenda for those countries what’s more 75% of people in the developing world are dependent directly or indirectly on agriculture for their

Livelihood and for many lowincome countries it’s the most important sector of the economy accounting for 50% of GDP and sometimes it’s the primary if not only source of foreign currency now of course when I talk about agriculture I am using the term to Encompass more than just growing food

Crops of course livestock farming fishing and Forestry are included in order to combat widescale food short es agricultural research programs are underway in many areas using science is one way to increase productivity but a word of warning agriculture must also be sustainable let’s look at approaches that are not sustainable firstly overg

Grazing and intensive cropping are two ancient but destructive practices that lead to loss of soil fertility secondly the mod modern idea of liberal application of chemical pesticides and herbicides has had disastrous consequences for the health of the land ranging from the pollution of water sources to the destruction of wildlife

These practices have ignored the mechanisms that sustain ecological communities ignorance has led to the destruction of the very biodiversity that is essential for sustainable food production however introducing new agricultural techniques especially things like genetic engineering can be difficult because many people remain suspicious of the fact that plants have

Had their genetic material Modified by scientists biotechnology has also led to the dubious practice of bior prospecting or as some prefer to call it biopiracy foreign multinational companies have been accused of illegally obtaining samples of indigenous plants of other countries in order to get their hands on genetic material to improve the

Quality or yield of their own crops we must put aside the controversy surrounding the field of agricultural biotechnology in order to concentrate on the biggest threat to food production on this planet which is yes climate change the effects of global warming so far have been to shrink the food supply

Thereby pushing up prices and making even the most basic necessities unaffordable as I see it the International Community must address this and other challenges to agricultural production with urgency concrete scientific and technological achievements need to be presented for Farmers to evaluate and learn to use but apart from from that governments need to

Address the complex issues of policy development if the world’s hungry are to be fed environmental policies need to be put in place to protect ecosystems and correct soil degradation where possible countries cannot continue to exploit natural resources whilst ignoring the consequences in fact I’d like to see teams of Agriculture and

Environment experts making up a global Network which would monitor the world’s farming systems different farming systems should be studied not only with a view to analyzing the environmental effects but the social and economic effects as well the studies would be carried out with a view to stemming pollution and erosion and promoting safe

Costeffective practices that will guarantee a secure food supply in the future monitoring sites would need to be set up all across the world and data collected in a systematic way of course building the online infrastructure for such a project would cost millions of dollars and there would be ongoing costs

Involved with the monitoring system but the information gathered would go a long way towards solving the problem of feeding the masses and ensuring millions of people don’t face a R future that is the end of section four you now have half a minute to check your answers

That is the end of the listening test you now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet
