asset is probably our swimming pool which at 25 meters isn't olympic sized but now we've expanded it lớn eight lanes it's much wider this means there are rarely more than a couple of people at a time in each lane unfortunately there isn't space for an outdoor pool here but the glass roof on this swimming pool is partly retractable which means you can enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer

to 25. Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to lớn 25. Um hello professor i'm john wishart i'm working on my entry for the global kiến thiết competition my tutor said you might be able to lớn help me with it ah yes i got a copy of your drawings come in và tell me about it what sort of competition is it well it's an international thiết kế competition và we have to lớn come up with a new thiết kế for a typical domestic kitchen appliance i see & are there any special conditions does it have to
save energy for example actually that was the focus in last year's competition this is different we have lớn adopt an innovative approach khổng lồ existing giải pháp công nghệ using it in a way that hasn't been thought of before i see that sounds tricky & what kitchen appliance have you chosen well i decided to lớn choose the dishwasher interesting what made you choose that well they're an everyday kitchen appliance in most australian houses but they're all pretty boring và almost identical to

each other i think some people will be prepared khổng lồ pay a little extra for something that looks different it's a nice idea i see you've called your kiến thiết the rock pool why is that basically because it looks lượt thích the rock pools you find on a beach the vị trí cao nhất is made of glass so that you can look down into it và there's a stone at the bottom is that just for decoration actually it does have a function instead of pushing a button you turn the stone so it's really just a novel way of
starting the dishwasher that's right it's a really nice design but what makes it innovative well i decided lớn make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide in place of water và detergent how will you manage that the idea is khổng lồ pressurize the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid the fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself sounds like a brilliant idea your system will totally vày away with the need for strong detergents so what happens once
the dishes are clean well lớn allow them lớn dry the liquid carbon dioxide và the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber that's where the liquid is depressurized & so it reverts to lớn a gas then the oil & grease are separated out và sent lớn the waste system it sounds like you've thought it all out very thoroughly so what happens to the carbon dioxide once the process is complete not wasted i hope actually that's where the real savings are made the carbon
dioxide is sent back khổng lồ the cylinder và can be used again & again what a terrific idea vì chưng you think it will ever be built probably not but that's okay well i'm sure a lot of positive things will come out of your kiến thiết before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some time to lớn look at questions 26 khổng lồ 30. Now listen và answer questions 26 to lớn 30. Now you seem to have thought about everything so what exactly did you need me to lớn help you with well my design has made it khổng lồ the final
stage of the competition & in a few months time i have to lớn give a presentation và that's the part i was hoping you could help me with right well that should be easy enough what have you managed to bởi so far well i've got detailed drawings to lớn show how it will work & i've also written a 500 word paper on it i see well if you want lớn stand a good chance of winning you really need a mã sản phẩm of the machine yes i thought i might but i'm having a few problems what's the main
difficulty so far ah let me guess is it the materials yes i want it khổng lồ look professional but everything that's top quality is also very expensive look projects lượt thích this are very important khổng lồ us they really help lift our profile so why don't you talk to the university about a grant i can help you fill out the application forms if you lượt thích that would be great you'd better show me this paper you've written as well for a global competition such as this you need to make sure the
technical details you've given are accurate và thorough oh that would be a great help is there anything else i can bởi vì well i'm really nervous that is the kết thúc of section three you now have half a minute to check your answers now turn to section four section four you will hear a university lecture about an endangered bear in british columbia canada known as the spirit bear first you have some time to look at questions 31 khổng lồ 40. Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 lớn 40. Today we
continue our series on ecology & conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family one in ten đen bears is actually born with a trắng coat which is the result of a special gene that surfaces in a few local people have named it the spirit bear và according to lớn the legends of these communities its snowy fur brings with it a special power nguồn because of this it has always been highly regarded by them so much that they do not speak of seeing it to lớn anyone else it
is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area the white bear's habitat is quite interesting the bear's strong relationship with the old growth rainforest is a complex one the trắng bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways for example the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon which
are the bear's main food source in return the bear's feeding habits nurture the forest as the bears eat the salmon they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor which provide vital nutrients these produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms from birds to lớn insects & more today the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of british columbia on a few islands there is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that
less than 200 of these trắng bears remain the best way khổng lồ protect them is lớn make every effort khổng lồ preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment in other words their ecosystem the grea

threat to lớn the bear's existence is the loss of its habitat over many years logging companies have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees in addition they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds and many hibernation sites have also been lost
the logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish lớn make matters worse the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit on fishing at the moment all these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear's very existence which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low và so what's the situation going forward community organizations
environmental groups & the british columbia government are now working together on the problem the government is now requiring logging companies khổng lồ adopt a better logging method which is a positive step however these measures alone may not be sufficient khổng lồ ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future other steps also need to lớn be taken while it is important lớn maintain the spirit bears habitat there also needs lớn be more emphasis on its expansion the move is justified as it will
also create space for other bears they're losing their homes that is the end of section four you now have half a minute to kiểm tra your answers that is the end of the
