Speaker 1
I think it’s great that these big names in show business and the music industry are rolling up their sleeves and fighting the good fight.Take that Irish guy, for example. I can’t remember his name, but he’s organised a couple of huge concerts in support of solving the world’s food crisis. I heard a colleague say that he thought he was in it for personal financial reasons, but I don’t agree at all.As I say, I think it’s marvellous that he’s taken time out of his hectic schedule to try to help a really serious world problem.
Speaker 2
My best mate,Alan, has done voluntary work for years. It seems he is out on the streets almost every night distributing food and blankets to the needy ... the homeless, the runaways.You know, he really cares about these people, despite the fact that his work is really tough sometimes.You know, once he was mugged twice within a few months. I told him I thought he was mad to continue. He just smiled and said it was all worth it. He’s disappointed that some of his colleagues have stopped volunteering lately because of the danger out on the streets. I understand how he feels, but you can’t blame people for feeling worried.
Speaker 3
I’ve been with the organisation Feed the World for about a decade now. Over the years, what with the demands of family and work, I’ve thought I would have to give up my volunteer work, but I’ve just never had the heart to do it. People are constantly telling me that I’m flogging a dead horse, you know, trying to find a solution to a situation where there isn’t one.Well, I simply keep quiet when I meet people like that. They frustrate me with their attitude but I know that if we just keep at it, if we keep hammering away at the problem, we will, one day, reach our goal.
Speaker 4
Yes, the world is in a terrible state, I couldn’t agree more. And yes, of course, something needs to be done about it.You know, when I was younger, in my twenties and thirties, I followed the news, I attended the charity dinners, I went to the protests ... I got involved in everything. As I got older, though, my charity work just kind of fell by the wayside. I suppose, if I could ever find a spare moment, I might take up a cause of some kind again. I mean, both my teenage children are avid supporters of Save the Whales. I don’t know, maybe when I retire I’ll have the chance to get back into that kind of thing again.
Speaker 5
For years I used to financially support my favourite charity each month, and I got a degree of satisfaction from that - you know, just to know that I was helping in some small way. But a few years ago I found myself getting tired of my job and feeling as if I needed a bit of a break. Then, around that time I spotted an advertisement in my charity’s monthly newsletter appealing for volunteers to help build a badly needed orphanage in an African village. Anyway, I found myself applying and off I went. Well, it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my whole life.You can’t imagine the sense of satisfaction I felt knowing that I had been so directly involved in something so worthwhile.
Speaker 6
Kids whose teeth are really messed up lack self confidence. But what a lot of people don’t realise is just how big a problem untreated dental disease is. It affects the whole body. In my country we didn’t have access to dentists unless we could afford to pay. My family were poor and my parents sacrificed everything for us to be educated. It was through the school that the problems with my teeth were dealt with and I felt healthier and happier after treatment.When I learnt about the charity ‘Give a Child a Smile’ I remembered all that and I wanted to support the cause.

Текст аудирования:
Presenter: Fancy a different kind of holiday this year? Well, you might be interested to hear about the latest trend in travel - ecotourism. Here to tell us more is Dave Lloyd from Eco Travel. Welcome, Dave.
Dave: Lovely to be here.
Presenter: So, what exactly is ecotourism?
Dave: It’s a special kind of tourism that aims to help local communities. Thanks to ecotourism, local communities benefit in many ways - not only financially, but culturally and environmentally, too. You see, people want to experience the culture of a new place and cause as little environmental damage as possible.
Presenter: Just how popular are eco holidays becoming?
Dave: They are really catching on. I think people are getting bored with package tours. When people book an eco holiday with us they are guaranteed a high-quality experience. We organise pre-trip meetings, where you ask as many questions as you like about your destination as well as meet your guide and fellow travellers.
Presenter: So, your tour guides must be well trained ...
Dave: All of our guides are bilingual. Often they are from the country you are travelling to. Actually, they don’t only work as guides.You may find yourself in the capable hands of a PhD student, or an engineer ... Presenter: I hear that some of your trips are focused on specific themes. Is that true?
Dave: Yes, that’s right. It means that people of all sorts of ages are brought together. On our trips, though, the age difference doesn’t matter because people are united by similar interests. Quite often groups keep meeting years after their original trip together.
Presenter: Which destinations and themes are most popular with travellers?
Dave: Well, there are the most famous places that people feel they must see - the Egyptian pyramids, for example -but there are many not-so-well-known locations, too. Obviously, wherever possible we give travellers the opportunity to explore areas of untouched natural beauty. Some of our most popular trips focus on discovering the flora and fauna of an area, while others concentrate on archaeological sites and history.
Presenter: Are eco holidays expensive?
Dave: Quite the opposite. As we deal with the local communities directly, we do not have to go through British operators. We make reservations with the local agencies themselves. We offer a unique itinerary at an unbeatable price.
Presenter: And do travellers get the chance to explore the local culture much?
Dave: We make sure travellers get to experience the usual things - try the traditional cuisine, see local crafts and artwork and participate in music and dance festivals. But, we also like to take it a step further by holding cultural exchange workshops. For example, in Peru you can spend a day with local fishermen learning how to construct a traditional fishing boat.
Presenter: What about accommodation? Is it luxurious or basic?
Dave: We offer comfortable accommodation in charming little eco-hotels. On some occasions clients may also stay in special environmentally friendly tents, but you are assured of a warm welcome wherever you go as we know all the owners personally.
Presenter: That’s good. Sounds like my kind of holiday!
Dave: You are guaranteed a unique experience, that’s for sure. Not only do you come back home with beautiful photos, but you will have great memories of the people you met there.
Presenter: What exciting eco trips have you got planned for this month?
Dave: We have a few places left for a trip to Brazil.
Presenter: What are the dates?
Dave: Departing on the 26th of March for twelve days or on the 24th for two weeks. The two-week trip includes a three-day stop-over in Rio de Janeiro before continuing to the Amazon.
Presenter: If any of our listeners are interested how can they get more information?
Dave: All the details are on our new website. Book soon to avoid disappointment!
Presenter: Dave, thank you for joining us. Good luck with everything.
Dave: Thanks.

Текст аудирования:
Interviewer: In the studio today we have singer-songwriter Tess Yale, who has just released her new album, Shooting Stars. Welcome, Tess. Tell me, have you always wanted to be a singer-songwriter?
Tess: Well, it’s true that I have always loved music. I had a fairly musical childhood. When I was little, my mum used to listen to the radio a lot - and so I was exposed to different styles - from pop to classical. From an early age, I was fascinated by how songs have the ability to ‘hook’ you with their catchy melodies. It wasn’t long after that that I started composing my own tunes.
Interviewer: Did your family encourage you to take music lessons?
Tess: I really wanted to have singing lessons and I kept asking for them. But we lived in a remote part of the country and good singing teachers were hard to come by. I finally found a teacher called Miss Gibbons. But she told me that I should learn to play the piano first - which I did. So I didn’t get to do the singing lessons I really wanted to do. Still, I was glad that I had taken up the piano.
Interviewer: So, you ended up relying on your own natural talent more than anything.That must have been hard.
Tess: Well, luckily I was able to continue studying music at secondary school and then later I went on to study voice and composition at university. But I still remember the early days when I was just a teenager. Melodies would come to me and I could even hear the whole piece in my head, the way it should sound with all the different instruments and everything and I felt so frustrated that I couldn’t write it down. I used to hum the tune into a small tape-recorder so that it wouldn’t get lost.
Interviewer: Technology has come a long way since then, hasn’t it? How has it helped you with your compositions?
Tess: It’s amazing what you can do now. It’s all so easy! You can just sing the notes and the computer writes it all up for you! Some people would say that technology has made us lazy, but I call it progress. You can experiment with all kinds of sounds, rhythms and harmonies - it’s fantastic! That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate real live instruments - in fact, I prefer to use live instruments where possible.
Interviewer. Does that mean that you prefer to perform in front of a live audience rather than be recording?
Tess: As a singer-songwriter I must say I enjoy both. I get a thrill out of creating the music in the first place, but there’s nothing better than performing your own pieces in front of an audience. Having said that, I have to admit there are times when I find touring exhausting and I just want to get back into the recording studio. I try as far as possible to achieve a balance - spending some time out on tour without it upsetting my private life.
Interviewer: What do you like to sing about most? How important are the lyrics to you?
Tess: Many of my songs stem from my own life - they are very personal. Others are about things I have seen around me.The lyrics are an essential part of my songs and I sit for days trying to get them right and fit them to the music. I am always conscious of the potential messages they might give to people. It’s so easy to come across in the wrong way.
Interviewer: So what advice would you like to give any potential singer-songwriters out there?
Tess: Don’t aim too high too soon - you have to be patient in this line of work. Keep working at it and accept all criticism as a chance to grow. Work with other musicians as much as you can,too.You need their inspiration sometimes.
Interviewer. Well, it’s been a real pleasure to have you on the show,Tess. Good luck with your new album and your upcoming tour ...
