You will hear someone talking on the radio about a Language Study
Fair. For each question, fill in the missing information in the
numbered space.

Organiser:

If you’re studying English, the Language Study Fair that’s being held
this month will certainly interest you. The show is taking place between the
17th and 19th of March at the National Education Centre. It aims to answer
all your questions about self-study (that’s studying by yourself), whatever
your level.

The Language Study Fair provides a perfect opportunity for you to

see, compare and get advice on everything that’s available to help you
improve the way you study. Over 350 leading producers of educational
materials will be present. Come along to this, and you won’t waste your
money in the future on materials that are out-of-date, or books that you
just don’t need.

We’ve got lots of different things for you to see and hear. There will
be stands showing different types of self-study textbooks and talks by
educational speakers on the best ways to study by yourself. You will be able
to see the latest furniture available for people using the latest programs,
which can make studying English alone so much easier.

2
 This is your chance to make good decisions about what you buy. You
can attend the fair between nine-thirty and five on Thursday and Friday,
and from nine-thirty to four on Saturday.

Tickets cost 5 pounds each, or 3 pounds if you are a full-time student.

All tickets can be booked by ringing the ticket hotline. The number is 984
7711. Parking can be really difficult around the National Education Centre.
However, an all-day space can be booked for only £2.50 per vehicle.

So, we kook forward to seeing you there!

The cause of Napoleon’s death at the age of 51 on the island of St. Helena is
still a mystery. There is no doubt that he was a very sick man at the time of
his death. One theory about the cause of his death is that he had stomach
cancer. Another theory is that he was deliberately poisoned by a servant. A

5
third theory also suggests that he was poisoned, but not by his servant. This
third theory suggests that he was poisoned accidentally by fumes from the
wallpaper in the house he lived in. A few years ago, samples of the
wallpaper were analyzed and traces of arsenic were found in it. Arsenic is a
powerful poison that was used in some of the dyes in wallpaper during the
time that Napoleon lived. More than 170 years after his death, people are
still speculating about the cause of his death.

Lecturer:

Now, a key issue in the ability of cities to grow is the question of housing.
However, quality is as important as quantity here. But that isn't to
say that this is easy to guarantee, and the development, or at least the
spread , of many modern cities is marked by the sprawl of slum or
shanty town housing.
Governments are, of course, keen to address this, but the
tendency to demolish them has often proved disastrous, as it doesn't
solve the problem, unless satisfactory replacements are ready for the
inhabitants. What I'm say i ng i s that s ui tab le ho usi ng projec ts
hav e to b e li ned up to accommodate these otherwise displaced
people. And suitable is the key word here. All too frequently, there
isn't real consultation, only token gestures. If the residents aren't fully
involved, they are unlikely to find the resulting development
appropriate to their needs. People need to feel reasonably
independent, and strategies for providing accommodation
schemes work much better if an approach rooted in self-help is applied.
People value things more when they have been part of bringing them into
being. At the same time, residents can't do everything for themselves, or not

6
well enough anyway, and so governments need to accept that a number of
services will always have to be laid on. These would include electricity and
water and so on. From the other side, residents need to feel able to commit.
Migrants are essential to the growth of cities, bringing rapid increases in
population, skills and income. But they need to have a sense of security, of long-
term commitment to the city if they are to invest money in building or buying
houses.
Developing this sense of commitment isn't straightforward, and it takes
time. It's complex and involves several factors. People need to feel they
belong and, unfortunately, too many governments fail to appreciate that
community values are a crucial component of that. Sadly, there are too
many housing schemes which don't work – people drift away, or the whole
place becomes crimeridden. It's easy to be wise after the event, but it is
worrying that a lot of housing is put up without analysis having been
carried out to examine how much employment is going to be available for
people.
But I don't want to labour the negatives too hard. Such difficulties as there
are challenges, and challenges that can be, and often are, overcome. And cities
are, I believe, a good thing.
Urbanisation – the process of developing cities and the societies that
comprise them – may not be everyone's dream, but is has a huge impact on the
economy and also benefits each and every person's freedom. Furthermore,
the sheer volume of people means that work can be differently distributed.
In villages, people need to be multi-skilled in order to be autonomous, but in
cities you can see the evolution of a variety of specialist activities and this
means people live in a more sophisticated way. It's not only tangible
phenomena – there are all sorts of other, equally important benefits, too.
Residing in cities brings us face to face with many different ways of thinking

7
or going about things, and this increases our degree of understanding –
something which is hard to measure in scientific terms, but which surely
makes better people of us all. Right, well, now I'd like to turn our attention to ...
