Section four,

you will hear a student presentation about a type of palm tree called the lon tar palm
that grows on an island in Indonesia. First, you have some time to look at questions 31
to 40 on page seven.

1:10
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

1:19
As part of this semester's geography project, I'm going to talk about a tall palm tree
called the lawn tar, which mainly grows on the island of roti in the south of the
Indonesian archipelago. Now, the lawn tar is a truly amazing example of how one tree
can sustain human life. The locals call it the tree of life and with good reason, because
the tree provides them with virtually everything they need in the way of food, drink
utensils, and shelter. The lawn thar juice is the most amazingly refreshing juice you'll
ever taste. The juice is collected from high in the tree in a process known as tapping.
Basically, a slice is cut into part of the tree and the SAP flows slowly from it into a
container. It's then collected twice daily. Male and female long tar trees are different.
Mahlon tars can be tapped all their lives so they are preferred. If the female tree is left
untapped, a large fruit develops like a coconut in appearance. The watery interior of the
fruit can be drunk. But these fruits are often left to fall to the ground as animal feed.

men and older boys climb to the tops of the trees to do the tapping. They don't use
safety equipment, but make things easier for themselves by tying stones to the trunk.
What is amazing is that so much of the equipment they use in the tapping process is
actually made from the tree itself. The men attach all the tools they need to a belt that
they wear when climbing the tree. In most cases, climbers own particular trees within
their family ownership involves not only care of the trees themselves, but also a share in
the maintenance of the fence which belongs to the local community.

3:22
Anyway, more about this incredible juice.

3:26
Tapping reaches a peak at the end of the dry season, which runs from September to
October. As villagers work frantically to get their harvest in before the rains come and it
gets too wet and windy to climb. Whatever juice isn't drunk immediately has to be
processed as quickly as possible, as it turns sour very rapidly.

In the rainy season when no fresh juice is available, the locals drink a concentrated form
with water added. The locals also use this rainy season version of the drink in other
ways. For example, it can be used to make biscuits of brown sugar

but the lawn tar palm supplies much more than sustenance for the road to Nice. The
broad lawn tar leaves are woven into a huge number of things, containers for watering
the garden and bags for transporting chickens to market. People also use them to cover
the roofs of their homes. When the leaves are replaced every five years or so. The old
ones are burned on the garden as a fertilizer. So you see the leaves are never wasted.

4:47
The rotor knees also make a distinctive hat out of the leaf. Design wise they were
inspired by 16th century Portuguese helmets. There are many for different occasions.

ranging from simple ones for everyday use to larger and more elaborate hats used for a
celebration, which are painted in bright colors.

5:10
The lawn tar leaf even provides the road to nice people with a unique musical
instrument known as the Sussan duo.

5:19
The leaf is made into a sounding board and has strings attached, which are plucked in
the manner of a harp and the sound produced is also similar. But even that isn't all the
stocks of the long term leaves can also be used. They are really strong and grow up to
1.5 meters long and local people produce ropes from them.

5:45
Even when a lawn Tarr tree becomes old and unproductive and no longer can be used
for tapping the whole tree is cut down and the thick trunk is utilized for building houses.
Their immense strength means that they are highly valued for this purpose. Now one
thing I haven't spoken about is
