Now,
0:01
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
turn to Section 3.
0:03
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
Section 3.
0:05
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
You will hear a conversation between two senior
0:09
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
students who have to organize a competition for
0:14
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
the University Open Day.
0:15
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
First,
0:16
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
you have some time to look at questions 21 to 27.
0:21
S… Speaker 5 (hw-test2-competition)
Listen
0:41
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
carefully and answer questions 21 to 27.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Hi, Grant.
0:49
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
What sort of competition do you think we should organize?
0:52
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
Well,
0:53
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Claire, the Open Day Committee was pretty clear on that.
0:57
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
It must be something with youth appeal.
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
That makes sense.
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
After all,
1:02
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
most of the visitors will have just left high school.
1:06
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Yeah,
1:07
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
so I was thinking technology?
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Do you mean something which uses the latest technology,
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
like an iPod?
1:16
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Something like that,
1:17
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
but a bit more expensive,
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
maybe.
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
What about the latest iPhone?
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I'm saving up for one right now.
1:25
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Let's make it an iPad.
1:27
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
I wish I'd had a tablet computer when I started
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
university.
1:32
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Yeah,
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
that's a great idea.
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
That should get a lot of our younger visitors interested.
1:39
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
Right.
1:40
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Let's go with that,
1:41
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
then. Fine.
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
We could go into town now and buy it.
1:45
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I saw great deals advertised at the Rick Smith
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
store.
1:50
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Oh,
1:51
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
I don't think we'll have to worry about that.
1:54
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
A university purchase order will probably be arranged
1:58
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
through the resources and supplies section.
2:01
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Well,
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
that's settled then.
2:03
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
What about the competition?
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Is it going to be a game of skill or a guessing
2:09
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
game or something else?
2:10
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
What do you think would work best?
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Good question.
2:14
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I don't think it should be anything too hard or anything
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
that will make the visitors look silly.
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Some of them have such fragile egos.
2:24
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
True.
2:25
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
So,
2:26
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
something that anyone can do.
2:28
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Nothing competitive,
2:29
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
no skill or intelligence involved.
2:32
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
That's right.
2:33
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
But the main thing is that the contestants have a lot of fun.
2:37
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
How do we do that?
2:39
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Well,
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I was thinking of a popular TV series,
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
science fiction or science fantasy.
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I don't actually know the difference.
2:49
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
Go on.
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
It's a series where in every episode,
2:53
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
the main characters step through a portal into another world or
2:57
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
another era.
2:58
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
What's a portal?
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
It's like a gateway or entrance to something.
3:03
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
Okay,
3:04
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
I get it.
3:05
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
They'll be stepping into the new world of tertiary learning.
3:09
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
So somehow we encourage people to step through this portal.
3:13
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Then what?
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
They get their photo taken.
3:16
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
Is that all?
3:17
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Not exactly.
3:19
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Let me think.
3:21
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
I can't see how that's a competition,
3:24
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
unless we pick the best photograph.
3:26
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
But there's not much excitement or involvement in that for
3:30
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
the participants.
3:31
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Wait.
3:34
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
We don't decide on the winner.
3:36
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
I mean,
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
no one person does.
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
We get them,
3:40
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
the public,
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
to do it.
3:42
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
How?
3:42
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Put all the photos on Facebook,
3:45
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
and the one with the most votes wins.
3:48
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
I agree.
3:49
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Good idea.
3:50
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
But there's just one more thing I'm not clear about.
3:54
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
How do we get hold of a portal?
3:56
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I was thinking graduates of the engineering department could
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
construct it as part of their contribution to Open Day.
4:04
S… Speaker 5 (hw-test2-competition)
Before
4:09
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
you hear the rest of the conversation,
4:11
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
you have some time to look at questions 28 to 30.
4:15
S… Speaker 5 (hw-test2-competition)
Now
4:35
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
listen and answer questions 28 to 30.
4:40
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
How do visitors enter the competition on Open Day?
4:44
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Well,
4:45
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
firstly,
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
they have to make their way to the portal photo booth on campus.
4:50
S… Speaker 6 (hw-test2-competition)
Okay.
4:51
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
A bit like a treasure hunt to start with.
4:54
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Yes.
4:54
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
And then they get their photo taken stepping through the portal.
4:59
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
And they'll have to write down their details.
5:02
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
You know,
5:02
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
name,
5:03
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
phone number,
5:04
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
email.
5:06
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
No, hang on.
5:07
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Let's keep it simple.
5:08
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
Just name and email address should do.
5:11
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Then after,
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
say, the 30th of July,
5:14
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
people can visit the university Facebook page and vote
5:19
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
for their favorite photo.
5:20
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
So the photo with the most votes wins.
5:23
S… Speaker 2 (hw-test2-competition)
Yes.
5:24
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
I think that should generate quite a bit of interest.
5:27
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
What about a cutoff date?
5:30
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Of course.
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
Maybe,
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
um...
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
The most popular photo as of 5 p .m.
5:36
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
on the 10th of August will collect the iPad.
5:39
S… Speaker 4 (hw-test2-competition)
And the winner will be notified by e -mail.
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
And the winning photo will be enlarged and published in full color
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (hw-test2-competition)
on the university Facebook page.
5:49
S… Speaker 3 (hw-test2-competition)
That is the end of Section 3.
