Unit 1

Listening

Listen to a radio programme about a very clever woman and complete the notes below. Write one word or figure in each blank.

Host: Last night, Jane Dickinson won Magic TV Quiz. Ten million people watched the programme. She answered questions about many different subjects. Some people now call her the “Human Encyclopaedia”. Now we have Ms Dickinson here. 

Hi, Jane. You did really well last night. Nobody could answer so many questions like you. How did you do that?

Jane: Oh, I just read a lot of books. My house is like a library. I have 3,346 books in my house. Through books, I can find out about many interesting things. 

Host: But not everyone can learn so much knowledge like you do. 

Jane: Actually, we can all learn. It just takes hard work and time. 

Host: Is there anything you don’t know?

Jane: Of course, there is, but I can always look it up in books. 

Host: Thank you, Jane.

Jane:You’re welcome.
