B Giải thích đáp án Tim: Good morning. Youre through to the tourist information office, Tim speaking. How can I help you? Jean: Oh hello. Could you give me some information about next months festival, please? My family and I will be staying in the town that week. Tim: Of course. Well it starts with a concert on the afternoon of the 17th. Jean: Oh I heard about that. The orchestra and singers come from the USA, dont they? Tim: Theyre from Canada. Theyre very popular over there. Theyre going to perform a number of well-known pieces that will appeal to children as well as adults. Jean: That sounds good. My whole family are interested in music. Tim: The next day, the 18th, theres a performance by a ballet company called Eustatis (Q1). Jean: Sorry? Tim: The name is spelt E-U-S-T-A-T-I-S. They appeared in last years festival, and went down very well. Again, their programme is designed for all ages. Jean: Good. I expect well go to that. I hope theres going to be a play during the festival, a comedy, ideally. Tim: Youre in luck! On the 19th and 20th a local amateur group are performing one written by a member of the group. Its called Jemima. Thatll be on in the town hall. Theyve already performed it two or three times. I havent seen it myself, but the review (Q2) in the local paper was very good. Jean: And is it suitable for children? Tim: Yes, in fact its aimed more at children than at adults, so both performances are in the afternoon. Jean: And what about dance (Q3)? Will there be any performances? Tim: Yes, also on the 20th, but in the evening. A professional company is putting on a show of modern pieces, with electronic music by young composers. Jean: Uh-huh Tim: The show is about how people communicate, or fail to communicate, with each other, so its got the rather strange name, Chat (Q4). Jean: I suppose thats because thats something we do both face to face and online. Tim: Thats right. Tim: Now there are also some workshops and other activities. Theyll all take place at least once every day, so everyone who wants to take part will have a chance. Jean: Good. Were particularly interested in cookery you dont happen to have acookery workshop, do you? Tim: We certainly do. Its going to focus on how to make food part of a healthy (Q5) lifestyle, and itll show that even sweet things like cakes can contain much less sugar than they usually do. Jean: That might be worth going to. Were trying to encourage our children to cook. Tim: Another workshop is just for children, and thats on creating posters (Q6) to reflect the history of the town. The aim is to make children aware of how both the town and peoples lives have changed over the centuries. The results will be exhibited in the community centre. Then the other workshop is in toy-making, and thats for adults only. Jean: Oh, whys that? Tim: Because it involves carpentry participants will be making toys out of wood (Q7), so therell be a lot of sharp chisels and other tools around. Jean: It makes sense to keep children away from it. Tim: Exactly. Now let me tell you about some of the outdoor activities. Therell be supervised wild swimming Jean: Wild swimming? Whats that? Tim: It just means swimming in natural waters, rather than a swimming pool. Jean: Oh OK. In a lake (Q8), for instance. Tim: Yes, theres a beautiful one just outside the town, and thatll be the venue for the swimming. Therell be lifeguards on duty, so its suitable for all ages. And finally, therell be a walk in some nearby woods every day. The leader is an expert on insects (Q9). Hell show some that live in the woods, and how important they are for the environment. So there are going to be all sorts of different things to do during the festival. Jean: There certainly are. Tim: If youd like to read about how the preparations for the festival are going, the festival organiser is keeping a blog (Q10). Just search online for the festival website, and youll find it. Jean: Well, thank you very much for all the information. Tim: Youre welcome. Goodbye. Jean: Goodbye.

Cathy: So, for the universitys open day, we have to plan a display on British life and literature in the mid-19th century. Graham: Thats right. But well have some people to help us find the materials and set it up, remember for the moment, we just need to plan it. Cathy: Good. So have you gathered whos expected to come and see the display? Is it for the people studying English, or students from other departments? Im not clear about it. Graham: Nor me. That was how it used to be, but it didnt attract many people, so this year its going to be part of an open day, to raise the universitys profile. Itll be publicised in the city, to encourage people to come and find out something of what goes on here (Q21). And its included in the information thats sent to people who are considering applying to study here next year (Q22). Cathy: Presumably some current students and lecturers will come? Graham: I would imagine so, but weve been told to concentrate on the other categories of people. Cathy: Right. We dont have to cover the whole range of 19th-century literature, do we? Graham: No, its entirely up to us. I suggest just using Charles Dickens. Cathy: Thats a good idea. Most people have heard of him, and have probably read some of his novels, or seen films based on them (Q23), so thats a good lead-in to life in his time. Graham: Exactly. And his novels show the awful conditions that most people had to live in, dont they: he wanted to shock people into doing something about it (Q24). Cathy: Did he do any campaigning, other than writing? Graham: Yes, he campaigned for education and other social reforms, and gave talks, but Im inclined to ignore that and focus on the novels. Cathy: Yes, I agree. Cathy: OK, so now shall we think about a topic linked to each novel? Graham: Yes. Ive printed out a list of Dickenss novels in the order they were published, in the hope youd agree to focus on him! Cathy: Youre lucky I did agree! Lets have a look. OK, the first was The Pickwick Papers, published in 1836. It was very successful when it came out, wasnt it, and was adapted for the theatre straight away. Graham: Theres an interesting point, though, that theres a character who keeps falling asleep, and that medical condition was named after the book Pickwickian. Syndrome (Q25). Cathy: Oh, so why dont we use that as the topic, and include some quotations from the novel? Graham: Right. Next is Oliver Twist. Theres a lot in the novel about poverty. But maybe something less obvious Cathy: Well Oliver is taught how to steal, isnt he? We could use that to illustrate the fact that very few children went to school, particularly not poor children, so they learnt in other ways (Q26). Graham: Good idea. Whats next? Cathy: Maybe Nicholas Nickleby. Actually he taught in a really cruel school, didnt he? Graham: Thats right. But theres also the company of touring actors that Nicholas joins. We could do something on theatres and other amusements of the time (Q27). We dont want only the bad things, do we? Cathy: OK. Graham: What about Martin Chuzzlewit? He goes to the USA, doesnt he? Cathy: Yes, and Dickens himself had been there a year before, and drew on his experience there in the novel (Q28). Graham: I wonder, though The main theme is selfishness, so we could do something on social justice? No, too general, lets keep to your idea I think it would work well. Cathy: He wrote Bleak House next thats my favourite of his novels. Graham: Yes, mine too. His satire of the legal system is pretty powerful. Cathy: Thats true, but think about Esther, the heroine. As a child she lives with someone she doesnt know is her aunt, who treats her very badly. Then shes very happy living with her guardian, and he puts her in charge of the household. And at the end she gets married and her guardian gives her and her husband a house, where of course theyre very happy (Q29). Graham: Yes, I like that. Cathy: What shall we take next? Little Dorrit? Old Mr Dorrit has been in a debtors prison for years Graham: So was Dickenss father, wasnt he? Cathy: Thats right. Graham: What about focusing on the part when Mr Dorrit inherits a fortune, and he starts pretending hes always been rich? (Q30) Cathy: Good idea. Graham: OK, so next we need to think about what materials we want to illustrate each issue. Thats going to be quite hard.
