I wonder if that phone call‘s for me.I‘ve been expecting so meone to call.4. Hello!5. You like Mary, do you?6. Oh, yes. I like her very much7. Then you‘d better be careful.Is that clear?8. Oh, yes, perfectly clear! I mean—I like Mary, but not in that way, really!9. There‘s someone for you on the phone, Marco.I think it‘s that German woman.10. Thanks. Mary! Oh, if you want a drink or anything, just help yourself.11. Hello, is that Kristi?12. Yes! Hello, Marco! Was that Mary who answered the phone, by the way?13. Yes, but don‘t get the wrong idea, Kristi.14. She‘s just been visiting someone in the hostel, that‘s all, and she just happened to—15. It‘s alright.Marco, relax. Look, I‘ve got some good news.16. I‘ve found an apartment at last—it was advertised in the evening paper—and I‘ve moved out of that awful hotel17. And I‘d like to invite you over to dinner tomorrow evening, to celebrate18. Oh! Er…Is that a good idea?19. What do you mean:‖ is that a good idea?‖20. That ‗s not a very polite thing to say when you‘re invited to dinner by a lady.21. I‘m sorry, Kristi, but things didn‘t go all that w ell last time, did they?22. My best suit was stolen and I was attacked by two policeman!23. And the first time there were those terrible Americans, weren‘t there?24. Ah, but you know the English saying:‖ Third time lucky‖. And anyway, there‘s n othing to worry about this time.25. Look, I‘ve only been living in this apartment for a few days.I haven‘t even giv en the address to anyone at work yet.26. So what can possibly go wrong?27. Nothing. I suppose.28. Of course not. So I‘ll give you the address,then: it‘s Apartment 3B, Truleigh Court, 11 Church Street.29. I‘m sure I‘ve heard that address before.30. I‘ll tell you how to get there:take the subway to Clinton Park,31. and as you go out of the station there‘s a bus stop on your left.Get the 192 A, and ask for the stop after the pharmacy.32. Then you cross the road, take the second left. Then…33. It‘s alright, Kristi, I remember how to get there.I went to a party there once;34. It was given by my English teacher‘s father.35. Oh, really, I was at that party too! It‘s a small world, isn‘t it?36. Yes, it is. The party ended in a terrible fight, if you remember.37. So it did. Well, never mind. I‘ll see you tomorrow evening at 8 o‘clock, Marco.38. See you, Kristi! And thanks for inviting me华尔街中级英语Lesson 4939. This is your stop, son!40. Thanks.41. Is it left or right here? Excuse me, could you tell me the way to church street, please?42. Going to Church Street, are you, young man?43. Yes, I am.44. Go up to the traffic lights, turn right, and then take the first turn on the left .45. That‘s the way to go ---if you want to get to Church Street46. Thank you.47. Coming48. Hello, Marco! Did you have to walk up the stairs?49. Yes, the elevator was out of order.50. It‘s always out of o rder, that elevator. It was repaired last week, and then it br oke down again the day after.51. It obviously wasn‘t made in Germany.Well come in!52. Make yourself comfortable. I‘ll put on a nice CD.53. I‘m afraid there isn‘t much furniture, as you ca n see.54. I‘ve brought a bottle of wine, by the way. Should I open it?55. No, don‘t bother, we can drink it later.I‘ve got one here that‘s already open.56. Well, bottoms up, Marco!57. Bottoms?58. No, bottoms up! It‘s an expression in English; It‘s u sed when people drink toge ther. It‘s like saying: ‖Cheers‖!59. Oh, that‘s interesting!60. Marco, what ‗s the matter?I‘ve really been looking forward to a nice evening t ogether.61. I‘ve even cooked a meal, which is something I don‘t often do, believe me.62. Can‘t you just let yourself go, and have fun?63. I‘m sorry, Kristi, it‘s just that I‘ve got this feeling.64. What feeling?65. I‘m certain that something terrible is going to happen, I can feel it.66. Oh, can you?67. It‘s the same with the weat her, you know. I always know when it‘s going to ra in, or snow.68. Is that so? Look, Marco, here we are, the two of us, alive and well69. Why don‘t we just have a meal, drink some wine, and enjoy e on, dinner‘s ready!华尔街中级英语Lesson 501. That meal really was delicious, Kristi. You‘re a very good cook2. I don‘t cook that often, but I‘m quite good at it, yes.3. I‘m sure it‘s not the only thing you‘re good at.4. I‘m sorry about the apartment being so uncomfortable and empty, by the way, b ut I‘m glad to say I do have a bed at least…5. It‘s a strange place, I must say, with this dark brown ceiling and light brown wal ls.6. They‘re not light brown, they‘re just dirty!I should think this apartment was last cleaned about 20 years ago.7. Terrible, isn‘t it?8. Whoever lived here before was obviously an absolute pig9. Oh. well, that‘s the last of the brandy! Oops! Never mind, there‘s plenty of whis ky!10. Trouble is, it‘s pretty darned boring here!11. The drink‘s fine, but my TV doesn‘t work, and Hugo‘s taken all his magazines and his stereo away with him.32. Where‘s that music coming from?Gee, it‘s next door!Someone‘s moved into my old apartment!33. I can go and see if my magazines are still three!34. Hello!35. Oh, no! Who‘s that?36. I‘m not expecting anyone37. Can I come in, please?38. Aargh! Who‘s that?39. Hi there! I heard the music, and I thought---Hey, it‘s Kristi! Gee, how are you, Kristi?40. Oh my God, it‘s you!41. Oh, good, you remember me, then!42. Help! Please don‘t hurt me!Look!, you can have my watch;43. it‘s a very good one, it was given to me by my grandfather.44. What‘s your friend talking about?Is he alright?45. Marco, please! This man isn‘t dangerous, and he isn‘t a policeman.There‘s no thing to be afraid of .46. If you‘re sure, Kristi.47. Now what are you doing here, John? How did you find out that I lived here?48. So you live here now, do you? Well, well, well!49. This used to be my apartment, until I was thrown out for not paying the rent. I sn‘t it a small world?50. So they say. But what have you come here for?51. I live next door, you see. Well, that ‗s where I‘m staying, anyway.52. Hey, do you remember that evening when we went to ― Burger ‗n‘ Bass‖? It w as lots o f fun, wasn‘t it?53. Would you like to go there again? Well, Maybe not. Maybe, we could go some places else, like.54. Whatever it is you‘ve come to get, could you take it and go, please?55. I‘m sorry, Kristi.It‘s just some magazines.I left behind, that‗s all56. Oh, those awful magazines are yours, are they? I almost threw them out this morning.57. They‘re in the bedroom, in the closet.Take them away, please!58. Ok, Ok!59. Come on! Open up! We know you‘re there!60. I think there‘s someone kno cking on your door.61. I‘m in here!I‘ll only be a minute.62. Did you hear that? He‘s in there!Come on!63. There he is! Let‘s get him!64. What? Help! Who are you? Ah! Put me down! Ah!65. The one is from the boss!66. Aargh? what boss?67. Very funny!68. Aargh!69. What are you doing? Who are you? Stop it!70. Hey, what about this woman?71. The boss didn‘t say anything about a woman; he just said we should get rid of Hugo Peters72. Alright!73. I‘m not Hugo Peters!74. What?75. He says he i sn‘t Hugo Peters?76. Ah, so! Why not?77. Hugo used to live next door.78. But where is he, now?79. I don‘t know, I‘m afraid华尔街中级英语Lesson 5112. Hello, Granny P‘s rest home.Who‘s that speaking, please?13. This is Hugo Peters. Could I have a word with the boss, please?14. Hold on, please15. Peter, it‘s you. What a surprise!Are you calling from home?16. No, no. I‘ve be en spending a few days away from home17. I was expecting some…er…unwelcomed ―visitors‖, so I decided not to be in.18. Very clever of you, Peters. But if you ―visitors‖ really want to find you, they will, in the end19. Well, that‗s what I was calling abo ut in a way.20. First of all, I do hope you haven‘t had too much trouble with Roger Temple.21. Temple won‘t be any trouble to anyone, ever again.I don‘t let people make tr ouble for me.22. You know that, don‘t you, Peters?23. Yes, sir, Look. I‘d like you to give me another chance.24. I see.

If you like, I could bring some to Trinidad for you., and we can talk about it.27. ―We could talk about it‖.Talk is your speciality, isn‘t it, Peters?28. This isn‘t just talk, sir.My contact can get thousands of kilos of the stuff, if yo u‘re interested29. Very well, Peters. You know what kind of heart I‘ve got.I‘ll accept your offer.30. But this stuff had better be really good—or else!31. Thank God for that! I should be alright now! I‘d better start packing my suitca seApartment 3C, 11 Truleigh Court, February 11thDear Mom,I thought I‘d just write you letter to tell you how I‘m doing, as it‘s quite a long tim e since I last saw you.As you can see, I‘ve moved, but only to the next apartment.I decided to leave m y old apartment; it was really getting much too small for me, and I‘m just staying here for the moment while I‘m looki ng for another one. Do you remember Mr. Pet ers? That real nice and polite old guy who used to live next door to me? Well, h e very kindly said I could stay in his apartment while he was away on business. Wasn‘ t that nice of him? Unfortunately, he took a ll his furniture away with him, an d for some reason the phone doesn‘t work, either.Perhaps he forgot to pay the b ill. Now about my work. I decided to leave that job with the oil company and mov e into the music and entertainment business. I‘m having a very interesting time, a nd ---what do you think? I saw Clive the other week. I took one of my groups do wn to New Camford to play in his club. Everybody enjoyed themselves very much and asked us to come again.Well that‘s all for now.Look after yourself, Mom. See you soon.All my love,John华尔街中级英语Lesson 531. –My name is Michael Crane and I teach English as a foreign language.-Have you always been a teacher?-I have been a teacher for the last 20 years, but I‘ve also done other jobs. In publ ishing, I was the assistant editor of Collins German dictionary.2. –So how long have you been teaching English as a foreign language?-Well, since I qualified doing a postgraduate diploma in the use of a foreign langua ge at Leed‘s University in 1970. So that‘s more or less, 20 years.-Do you only teach in England or have you traveled abroad?-No, I have taught English In France, Germany and Iceland.3. –Looking back at your training, do you think your training gave you a good idea of what the job was all about?-In terms of theory and practice, yes. But there is a big difference teaching English as a foreign language in Britain language school and abroad. I don‘t think it prep ares you for the kind of cultural isolation that you will experience when you sudden ly find yourself in a small town in the middle of France or in the middle of Iceland or in the middle of Germany. You have to be self-reliant.4. –You mentioned self-reliance. What other qualities make a good teacher?-First and foremost, enthusiasm, mastery of the subject, a certain amount of acting ability. I think you have to like to project yourself, project your personality. It goes without saying in interesting people. Students know very quickly if you‘re just there to earn your money or if you are interested or not, and if you‘re interested,they are interested and half the battle is over.-Tell me about the sort of students you‘re teaching now.-Well, at the moment I have a class, a small class of intermediate students: a Ger man economist, an Italian secretary, and an Italian student for the first half of my day. And for the second half, I have a very interesting man doing a one-to- one c ourse, who is actually the dean, the professor of transport studies at the University of Dresden, and he is advising the German government on the improvement of th e network of the Reichbahn, which was the rail service in the old DDR, and also has some active consulting capacity to the Board of British Rail. And He is a very interesting man.5. –Do you also teach beginning students?-I have taught beginners because I speak fluent German. This may go against som e people‘s theory of language learning. I do occasionally teach people, complete b eginners, who have actually stipulated on their booking form that they want a German speaker because some people especially older people, executives, businessme n, politicians, feel somewhat that their dignity is at stake and they need an explana tion or even a translation and they haven‘t got the time. I mean I think you can te ach elementary to complete beginners if they‘ve got six months through signs. But if someone is there for just a week or eight days, you have to do a certain amou nt of translation. One keeps to the minimum.6. –Is it a routine job, or are you always doing something different?-That depends on your app roach to it. If you‘ve just one of these teachers who sa ys, you know, ―turn to your books on page one and let‘s do some fill in the gram mar slots‖, it will be routine.But if you vary the material you use, you combine it with video work, outside work, you change classes regularly, attend workshops, kee p yourself up-to-date with modern developments, it‘s not a routine job华尔街中级英语Lesson 54-Let‘s talk about English as a language. Is it very difficult to learn?7. –I think it is perhaps, to master, I think i t‘s one of the most difficult of the Euro pean languages. It‘s only when you start to teach it, you realize just how much th ere is to learn for the students, and how it differs from other European languages. The complicated tense systems, the continuous tenses, the almost infinite variety of preposition a adverbial particle combinations. It defeats students.-So how would you tackle, for example, teaching tenses?8. –Teaching tenses. Well, the basic rule really is presentation, practice, and then, production. You usually introduce the tense in a situation, in a dialogue, on a vide o, and let the students see it. And then they practice it, pair work between them, and then you will ask them questions to elicit this particular tense. I usually consoli date that then with a reference to a grammar book, and I may well set homework also based on exercises to consolidate.- So have we come a long way since the days of just listening and repeating?-Yes, I think we have. I think the empathsis right from the beginning is that the st udents learn rules, but the ultimate aim is for them to create and produce their ow n unique language so that the idea of just repetitive drill is passe.9. –What about pronunciation? Can that cause a problem?-I think pronunciation is perhaps the one problem which is the most difficult to solv e bearing in mind the time that people have. One, you know, one teaches syntax and lexis and pronunciation is neglected, because it‘s so time consuming.In order for a student to have an acceptable intonation and acceptable stress patterns, one has to spend so much time on it. The next time someone puts it down as an opt ion. This is something that I always feel is unsatisfactory华尔街中级英语Lesson 55-What about your experiences as a teacher? Are there any moments that stand ou t as being the best?-The best thing‘s I have taught some interesting people including the Minister of Ag riculture from Ethiopia. I taught the Iraqi ambassador to London before the Gulf co nflict. I also taught Miss Italy, one of the most beautiful women I‘ve ever met. I thi nk that the highlights are when a student says ― I never thought I could learn the l anguage. From the time I was a school child. I was told I wasn‘t very good at lan guages, and you‘ve made me feel that it‘s possible I can do it.‖That to me is per haps the greatest satisfaction.10. –I know from my own experiences of learning foreign languages, what I say us ually convulses people with laughter. Is language learning a funny experience?-Oh, yes. It involves, with adults, a kind of suspension of belief. You‘re having to ask a person who, in their own country, is perhaps a managing director of a comp any employing 2,000 people, or a brain surgeon or a scientist, suddenly to act out a role as going into a sweet shop and buying a Mars bar, and speaking relatively simple English, and mistakes are made. And they‘re amusing mistakes. but as lo ng as people laugh, you know, you laugh with them rather than laugh at them. I f ound humor is a good anecdote to stress.-And again, from your point of view, you‘ve taught both beginners and advanced. Which do you prefer?11. –In terms of seeing progress, beginners are, you know, this is a rather worn a nalogy, are little flowers that you know, that they come there, they can do nothing. And after just a couple minutes with you, they can say ―my name is John Smith.‖ So I mean, from zero, you‘ll see the progress very quickly. But with advanced students it‘s much more difficult to see the progress. But in terms of one‘s own, us ing one‘s ow n skills, to follow the range of language that one possesses as a nati ve speaker, advanced students are more satisfying intellectually.-And looking to the future, do you always see time when people will be wanting to learn English?12. –Oh, absolutely, absolutely. I mean, as the world becomes a kind of global vil lage, a kind of, a kind of materialistic-oriented consumer society, the demand for E nglish will increase. I mean, the fall of the Warsaw Pact countries and Russian Co mmunism, in my own school, has meant a flood of executives from East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia, eager to learn English. It‘s rapidly b ecoming a kind of status symbol. For an educated man or woman, they, it is expe cted of their culture. And for themselves, they have a certain command of English. It‘s a ???华尔街中级英语Lesson 56Oh, Gee! It looks like I‘ve finished all the booze. Hey, what‘s this?Gosh, it‘s a radio!

Look, it hasn‘t even got a keyboard!You just touch the screen with this, like, pen-type thing.And every time you touch the screen, it makes a little sound.Would you like to try it?No, it‘s alright, thanks. I think I‘ll go and sit somewhere else.Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?What does he look like?I‘ll sit here then, if you don‘t mind.You don‘t mind if this gentleman sits here, do you, Wart?What a lot, there is! There‘s far more than it was at New Camford, isn‘t there? Yeah. Well, there‘s a truck waiting outside.Right. You can, like, get the stuff on to it, right?Right.Alright.And then, like, get it on at the other end, and sort of ending it up, OK?Do what?End it up-get everything ready for the show.Come on, Dudu.

Shall we go over and say hello to him?No, certainly not!Look, I don‟t want him to see me. Can I change place with you?If you like.Who‟s having the ham and melon, please?That‟s for me.And the prawn cocktail for me.MMMh! I must say these prawns are delicious! You know, this is a very good place, Susan. Where did you hear about it?It was one of Roger‟s favorite restaurants. Before-he-went-to-prison!Oh, no, please don‟t ___that, Susan! Roger‟s been in prison for almost 6 months now; don‟t you forget about him?He‟s my husband, Harry, even if he‟s in prison! How can I possibly forget about him? Calm down, please. Everybody is looking at us!What is it about Roger? What did he have that I haven‟t got?Anyway, he‟ll be in prison for another eight years, so that‟s that. I keep tilling you you‟ll have to divorce him.Come on, dear, eat up you ham. What‟s it like?It‟s alright. Poor Roger!I‟ve said it already, but these prawns are really delicious.The soup is disgusting!What do you expect, mate! This isn‟t the Ritz!How do they expect us to eat this rubbish! It‟s not good enough for a dog.I know what you mean. Still-Listen, let me tell you something. The warden gets $5 per day per prisoner for our food. And this is what he gives us to eat.Do you mean-Exactly. He keeps the change. He‟s got to be a very rich man by now- thanks to us!I never know that!Pass it on. Do you know that the warden gets $5 per day …We‟re not eating this rubbish!No, We‟re not! No way!Now‟s my chance!Hey you, where are you going!Hey, what do you think you‟re doing? Stop!I‟ll just get his keys. There‟s the gate!They‟re after me already! Here‟s the front gate.The road‟s only a few hundred yards away, I think I can make it!Stop, please! Stop, damn you!Thank God for that!I‟m going to Washdon, if that‟s any use to you.That‟ll do fine!Come on, let‟s go, for God‟s sake!Have you come far? I always like to take a chap, you know.I get a bit lonely, sort of, driving around all the time.So I like to have someone to talk to. Oh, well, if you don‟t want to talk, I‟ll turn on the radio!Here is an urgent message for anyone driving near Dartbridge.A prisoner has escaped from Dartbridge prison.He is 1 meter 88 tall, has blonde hair and is very dangerous.It you see this man, do not talk to him or try to stop him, but call the police immediately.Well,well, what do you know? A prisoner‟s escaped.Oh my God! It‟s you!Just drive,will you! Look out Hugo, and Susan and the rest of you! Here I come! 20.2 MiniDear Roger,I know this is going to hurt you a lot, but I‟ve through about it very carefully, and I‟m sure I‟m doing the right thing, I want a divorce. Roger, I‟ve met another man. Perhaps he isn‟t much of a Casanova, but he‟s much kinder to me than you ever were. I don‟t want to hurt you even more, so I won‟t tell you who he is. Life in prison must be very hard; I hope you can see it as a chance to change, Roger, when you come out you‟ll e free to start a new life, I hope you find another woman who‟ll be true to you, like I‟ve been. I won‟t come and see you again. Roger, there‟s no use in it, so this letter is my goodbye to you. You‟ll hear form my lawyers, in a couple of weeks. Be strong, and try to understand.Susan.20.3 InterviewI‟m now on the football pitch where a seven s sick game has just finished. Dave Rtarding has been playing football. “David, what do you like about the game?” “The main aspects owe for us to come up here, enjoy ourselves and we can meet up afterward and have a drink, that sort of thing.”“what about winning of losing? Does it matter which?”“No, that isn‟t the main reason we play. I mean it‟s always lovely to win, but the main reason we come here is as I said just to enjoy ourselves. It‟s not the end of the world if you lose.”“And how often do you play a week?”“We only play once a week. We play on Thursdays.”“What about keep fit? Is football a good way of keeping your body in trim?”“I must be. I‟ve noticed if I miss one week for whatever reason, the following week I ache the next day. If I played every week I don‟t ache, so it must help to keep you fit.”“Do you thick you‟re getting better, as you play more?”“I‟m probably not getting any better, because I‟m getting older.” And now old are you then?”“I‟m 29, going on 30.”“Still any ambitious to play for England, perhaps.”“I‟m surprised to have been picked actually, but now I don‟t have any aspirations to play for England. I think I am a bit old now.”And welcome to a small hall where fencing is being taught. And I‟m talking to Porling fairly. “Porling is it as dangerous as it looks?” No, I mean you might get a couple of bruises, but nothing bad.”“No, if you don‟t mind me saying so, you don‟t have to run around a lot while fencing. So do you keep fit while doing this particular sport?”“Yes, you do a lot, You don‟t more very far, but you do more about a lot.” ”Fencing has been called”“The brain sport” where you have to think very much what you are doing. Do you see fi like that?”“You do have to think about it. To work out which more you want to do. Because if you just go in there, attacking all the time, it‟s no good. You have to think about what you are doing.”“How long have you been fencing?”“Two and a half years.”“And have you seen yourself improved as the time has gone on?”“Yes, definitely.”“Would you like to take fencing for ever, perhaps take part in more competitions.”“Yes, I mean. I go to competitions now and they are really good. So I like to do a lot of them.”Badminton is the name of the game and I‟ve come into the man hall where the gameis being played by a lots of people, and two of these people are Lorry and Maria, “Lorry, how long have you been playing?”“It‟s since I was 21, I‟m now 62.” “So how often do you play badminton?”“I play twice a week.”“Is badminton a sport for people of all ages?”“Definitely, positively.”“Maria, how did you first get interested in badminton?”“I got interested when I was about 28 years of age, and I‟ve been playing for over 20 years now.”“Is badminton an easy game to learn?”“Well, if you played with a racket before, like if you‟re a tennis play, then it‟s easy to learn. But I think if you start from a young age. Yes, yes.”“You look very energetic, do you have to be very fit?” “Well, it depends on the standard of the game. I mean it depends on whom you‟re playing with. If you play with some good players, you do have to keep fit. And you have to be very quick.”“Do you play to keep fit or to have a bit of fun?”“No, just for relaxation, recreation and enjoyment, I get a great deal of pleasure out of playing badminton.”“So the keeping fit goes with playing the game. Doesn‟t it just part of it.”“Yes, I perhaps somewhat fortunate that I‟m reasonably fit, and always have been.。

Today we‟re visiting some English friends of mine, who live here in Brighton.ALAN: What, today?DEBORAH: Yes, today, honey. So - where was I? Right, these friends of mine; their names are Peter and Rosie. Now, Peter‟s a salesman; he works for a food company, and he travels a lot, all around Europe. And Rosie works at the American Embassy in London - that‟s how I know her, in fact, from when I was in England last year. So they‟re very busy people, and it‟s real sweet of them to make time to see us. We‟re very lucky.ALAN: Can I say something?DEBORAH: Why sure, honey.ALAN: I want to go play golf today, Deborah.ALAN: You know what the weather‟s like in England. Today it‟s sunny, there‟s no rain. OK, it‟s damn cold, but still, it‟s a great day for golf. So that‟s what I want to do today.DEBORAH: Sure honey, but we‟re seei ng Peter and Rosietoday. You can play golf tomorrow.ALAN: I can‟t play golf tomorrow. The weather won‟t be like this tomorrow; it‟ll probably rain.DEBORAH: Well, it is winter, honey. Even in the States it rains a lot in the winter.ALAN: Yeah, well, in England it rains a lot in the spring, the summer, the fall and the winter. But it‟s not raining today, so let‟s go play golf, OK? Hey, I‟ll tell you what. We‟ll go play golf this afternoon, and we can still go see your friends in the evening.DEBORAH: No, that won‟t work, I‟m afraid.ALAN: Why the hell not?DEBORAH: Because I‟m cooking dinner for us all. ALAN: They‟re inviting us to dinner, and you‟re cooking it? That‟s crazy!DEBORAH: We‟re cooking it, honey. Just because I‟m a woman, that doesn‟t mean I m ust do all the cooking, now does it? Hey, will you look at us? Here we are, just standing in front of the hotel, talking. Let‟s get going; we have a lot of shopping to do!DEBORAH: There‟s a really good supermarket down this road; we can get everything we need there.ALAN: So what are you cooking?DEBORAH: What are we cooking? Well, my idea is to do something really typically American. So I think I‟ll make them some jambalaya.ALAN: Jambalaya? But that‟s Southern food. We‟re from Pittsburgh, not New Orleans!DEBORAH: So what‟s typical Pittsburgh food, then? Burger and fries? No, Alan, Peter and Rosie are sophisticated people; they travel all around. I want to cook them something real special. Ah! Here we are. …Waitrose‟. ALAN: I can‟t see any shopping carts.DEBORAH: Over there, honey, where it says …trolleys‟. ALAN: …Trolleys‟? Is that what they call shopping carts here? I‟ll go and get one. Geez, this shopping cart is so small! What‟s with this country?DEBORAH: It‟ll be big enough for us, Alan. We‟re only cooking one dinner.DEBORAH: Here we are.ALAN: So what do we need?DEBORAH: First of all, rice.ALAN: Hey look, they have Uncle Ben‟s! Here - …Uncle Ben‟s easy cook rice. One pound.‟ Is that enough? DEBORAH: Honey, I can see you‟re not a great expert on food!ALAN: What do you mean?DEBORAH: Well, first of all, easy cook rice is yukky, and second of all, you don‟t want to use American rice anyway.ALAN: Why the hell not, when we‟re cooking an American dinner?DEBORAH: Honey, we‟re in Europe now. Try to be a bit sophisticated, OK? We‟ll go for the Italian rice. DEBORAH: And we need tomatoes, or …tomatoes‟, as they say here.DEBORAH: And peppers - red peppers - and prawns, DEBORAH: and bacon. And last of all, we need sausages. Great, that‟s it. Let‟s go and p ay.ALAN: Where‟s the checkout? Or do they call it, like, I don‟t know, …The Winston Churchill‟ in this country? DEBORAH: No, they call it …checkout‟ here, just like we do.DEBORAH: There it is.ALAN: Good. Do we have enough cash for all this stuff? DEBORAH: Of course we do, honey. Anyway, this isn‟t, like, the third world. They take Visa and Mastercard here. ALAN: Wow!DEBORAH: So let‟s pay, and then we can go to Peter and Rosie‟s, and start cooking delicious jambalaya!ALAN: Let‟s go for it.Section 13.2A Dialogue.JOHN: Morning, darling!COMPUTER SECRETARY: Late again!

Still, never mind. We can still have a good time anyway, can‟t we, honey? ALAN: Can I tell you something, Deborah? DEBORAH: Sure, honey.ALAN: I don‟t like jambalaya. In fact, I hate jambalaya.

What should I call them-customers?23. But really-here I am, asking you for an English lesson one minute after meeting you again .You must forgive me.24.Hey, that’s alright, Aiko.

Yes, but they're coming back this evening, you know, especially for this -this, drink thing, Look, I'm sorry dear,76. but it's one of my duties as a teacher to entertain the students, and all that. You know I hate doing it.77. They why do you keep on doing it? Why do you keep on teaching at that school, complaining to me all the time,78. but never doing anything about it? I've had enough of this, David! enough --do you understand?79.When I married you, I thought you were going to do great things! I thought you were so clever!80.I thought you were capable of doing anything, but you’re not, David! You’re not a real man!81.

As you can see. I didn’t die in Trinidad although I came very close to it, and I have taken the opportunity during these past few years to look at my life and what really matters to me.I have realized, Annie, that my only purpose in life for as long as I can remember has beento make money as much as possible and as quickly as possible paying no attention to my relationships with other peopleThis is why your mother left me and this was why I was on the point of losing contact with both you and David.I want you to understand first of all that I have decided to change. Annie because I have realized how much I really care about you and David.For various obvious reasons, I can’t tell you in this letter how to get in touch with me but I’ll try and get a personal message to you or David in the next couple of weeks.You will easily understand that I may not be able to come to Washdon myself, but I hope we can meet somewhere not too far away. I’m sure you have hundreds of questions to ask me. I look forward to answering them more than I can tell you in words.Your loving father,HugoLesson3.sectionAToday EOL Travel welcomes you to New York City. Approaching over the bay we see the Statue of Liberty, the defining symbol in first sight of America for so many millions of immigrants over the years. New York City is the home of the skyscraper or highrise. The city’s tallest are the World Trade Center twin towers. However, the most famous is still the Empire State Building. It’s incredible to think it was constructed as long ago as 1929. St. Patrick’s Cathedral was built in the 19th century when huge numbers of Irish immigrants were pouring into the New York. Jewish immigrants from Russia and eastern Europe have also been immensely influential in New York’s cultural life. Today New York is one of the world’s leading centers for the arts. For painting and sculptures, it’s perhaps the leading center. It attracts artists and performers from all over the world. When you’ve performed in New York City, you know you’ve really arrived. And then you can treat yourself to a hot dog, which originated in New York along with so many symbols of the American way of life. The yellow cab is another example. A more leisurely and old-fashioned form of transportation is still available in Central Park. It’s all very relaxing unlike most other New York a ctivities. New York, of course, is about business and finance above all. It’s the United States’ number one financial center and one of the world’s big three. More sharesare traded on New York Stock Exchange than on any other exchange in the world. And for people all around the world, Wall Street symbolizes wealth, power, and success. Another World famous symbol of New York is the extensive subway system. Once notoriously dirty and dangerously crime infested, it has become much safer and cleaner in recent years. We’ll leave the subway. At Time Square Station with its huge advertising billboards by day, and its neon signs by night. New York is also the capital of the nation’s advertising industry. Sure, New Yorkers work hard but they also play hard. And at night the New York custom is to go out, often to the theater. If you’re lucky, maybe to Broadway, the most famous street name in the world of show business. And if a Broadway musical isn’t your idea of entertainment, you’re bound to find something else you like, whether it’s a movie or music or theater or dance. And you can go out looking at any time of the day or night. This is the city that never sleeps. New Yorkers love Christmas-even though many of them weren’t brought up as Christians-and exchange generous presents and hospitality at this time of the year. Winters are freezing cold in New York just as the summers tend to be baking hot. Temperatures of zero fahrenheit, that’s minus 20 centigrade, are not uncommon in January and February. Still, most New Y orkers are happy to put up with such inconveniences. It’s a price worth paying to live in what is probably the world’s most dynamic and exciting city.。

KnightThe leader of the pilot’s union at Blue Star airlines.Plot SummaryThis movie is the story of a young and ambitious Wall Street stock broker named Bud Fox, who is determined to become rich like his hero, a stock trader and corporate raider named Gordon Gekko. Gekko is one of the richest,most ruthless and immoral businessmen in the country, who routinely uses inside (secret) corporate information to make deals, even though this is completely illegal. He also buys companies cheap, only to destroy them and their workers’ jobs in order to sell off the company’s assets (such as planes, land, office buildings, etc). For Gekko, “greed is good.”After trying for several weeks, Bud gets to meet Gekko, and with a little luck, he is soon working with him, making investments with an account Gekko has set up for him. Gekko promises Bud lots of “perks” (benefits) if he does well with the money, and those benefits soon arrive. He also meets Darien at a party that Gekko is throwing, and now that he is starting to make so much money, he can afford to go out with her, despite her very expensive taste. Unfortunately, though Bud soon learns the dark side of Gekko’s trading world, including his willingness to break any law, or for that matter, destroy any company, to make more and more money. This includes even the company where Bud’s father is the leader of the labor union, and for Bud, that is a bad deal that is just too close to home.This movie, which was made in 1987, does a good job of capturing the ambiance, and more specifically, the greed, that was a big part of the American scene during the 1980s. In fact, the character of Gordon Gekko is based loosely on a real corporate raider named Ivan Boesky, who was fined $100,000,000 and sentenced to several years in jail for his part in the insider trading scandals that shook Wall Street during that decade. Of course, wealth and money are relative; By the end of the 1990s, dozens of people in the US had accumulated fortunes in the billions of dollars, making the sums discussed in this movie seem almost insignificant!This is the act of trading stock after acquiring information from executives or other high officials inside a company. It is illegal, because it is believed the person who has this information has an unfair advantage over those who don’t. Of course, it is difficult to prove, and in the real world, many people often come very close to breaking this law.The Three Most Important Companies in this Film (All Fictional):Blue Star Airlines: The airline where Bud’s dad is a mechanic and union leader, which is facing bankruptcy because it cannot compete with bigger airlines. Bud feels he can save it, but Gekko has other ideas.Teldar Paper: A huge paper company that Gekko wants to buy, forcing outall of their management. Obviously, the management tries to resist this.A steal company that Larry Wildman wants to buy and save, and in theory, make profitable for the long run. It becomes harder for Larry to do this when Gekko begins to buy stock in it, thus driving up the price.Some Words and Expressions that You May not KnowBud has a bad day at the office, losing $7,000 for all his hard work.How are you doing? :: Doing any better, and it would be a sin.A silly way of saying things are going very well(A “sin” is an immoral act of which God disapproves).Get out while you’re young, kid.Lou’s way of telling Buddy to leave the brokering business.?“Pal” is an alternative word to friend (It is heavily used in this movie).today.A slangy way of saying to make a lot of money.Jesus, you can’t make a in this market.“Jesus” is a common way of showing emotion such as anger orfrustration.

A very important verb in this film! “For Christ’ssake” is a common way of expressing frustration or other emotion Jack, 30,000, 38 tops.A short way of telling Jack to buy 38,000 shares of aparticular stock, but to pay no more than $38 per share.We are in the middle of the biggest thatour generation or any other has everA “bull market” is a stock market in which prices are going up (A “bearmarket” is when prices are going down). “To witness” something is to see or observe it.An “extraordinary opportunity” is a very rare chance, in this case tomake a lot of money. “To emerge” is to appear or become known.The “debt market” is investments in corporate or government bonds(Debt is the money owed by one person or institution to another).In 10 minutes it’s history, at 4:00 I’m a dinosaur!Marv’s way of saying that stocks must be sold extremely quickly,because their value changes dramatically in just a few seconds(If something “is history,” it’s old and useless, and “dinasours”are the huge monsters that ruled the earth millions of years ago).Sure it’s gone down, but you got the , I didn’t.A “tip” is a useful piece of information or advise.Oh !was Isupposed to know you were in surgery?“Give me a break” is an excellent way of telling someone to stop saying nonsense, or to stop acting in a ridiculous way. “The hell” is added toWh questions in order to show emotion such as frustration.and get back to you.An “account executive” is a prestigious or fancy way ofreferring to a salesman, or in this case, stock broker.You tell me that he’ll DK you for a lousy1/4 point?o n ow” them, so that you don’t have to pay for a stock that has gone down in price since youbought it! “Lousy” is a good word for bad, or here, insignificant.me to this guy and youknow he has a history of this kind of .“To assign” a client to a broker is to give them that person’s business.“Bullshit” is a vulgar but excellent word for lies, nonsense, or in thiscase, unethical or immoral behavior.Howard the on me.A “jerk” is a widely used word for an idiot, bastard, ass, etc…“To reneg” on a person is to refuse to do what you had promised them..“To cover a person’s losses” is to pay for them. “To the tune of”is a way of saying “that are equal to…” A “grand’ is $1,000., Marv.

To “sell a stock short” is to buy investments thatgo up in value when the stock goes down. NASA is the NationalAeronautics and Space Administration of the federal government. And he had an ethical by-pass at birth.A funny line. “Ethical” is another word for moral, and a “by-pass” is aserious heart operation. This is a way of saying that Gekko was bornwithout morals or ethics, or that that were by-passed at birth.Bud sees his dad, and then after 39 days of calling, gets to meet Gekko.in Florida next Christmas.Short for a “condominium,” which is an apartment that people own.

I also enjoy----Sorry to interrupt you, sir, but I’m afraid you’ll need to talk to our Mr. Conn.-I’d rather talk to you. I like talking t o attractive young ladies.-You’ll have to wait for Mr. Conn, I’m afraid. He’s interviewing another applicant for the past at the moment.-Tell me then, Mr. Dogge, what were your reasons for applying for this job? What was it that particularly interested you?-Was it the product, perhaps, or had you already heard of the Double Cross organization?-Er, no…I’m sorry.-Well, what was it, then, that made you pick up your pen and write to us?-I’m sorry sir, I wrote the application with a pencil actually, I’m sorry…-I t doesn’t matter.

No sales, no earnings. Is that clear?-Oh yes, absolutely.-Good now that we both know where we stand, I’ll show you the product that we’re marketing at the moment.-It’s a most attractive and useful little machine, which could be used both as a washing machine and as a coffee maker.-It only costs $575, and it’s so small it could be kept in a cupboard when it’s not being used…-Would you come in here, Judith?-Is that the last, then?-Yes, it is.-Thank God for that!-Did that last one get the job, then?-I had to appoint someone.

We’re starting in Sydney with the famous Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. Sydney isn’t actually the capital of Australia, though it’s by far the large st city, with a population of nearly 4 million. Its comes a long way since it was founded at the end of 18th century, as a prison settlement. The first inhabitants of Sydney were British criminals, who were sent here as a form of punishment. Today’s Austra lians have come from all over the world, and by choice. Increasing numbers these days are of Asian Origin. The British influence on Australian life is still there, though nothing like powerful as it used to be. Modern Australia has its own very distinctive identity and its own economic connections. Australia’s trading relationships today are mainly with its Asian neighbors, such as Malaysia and Japan, and also very importantly with the United States. Australia has recently become a major force in the entertainment business, too. Australia movies have given the world stars, such as MelGibson and Paul Hogan, and many Australian writers, painters and rock groups have found international fame. All these goals have shown how strong are national identity Australia has managed to establish. Australians are justifiably proud of their country and very happy to be living here. Life is comfortable in this huge and empty land. Even the biggest cities have a relaxed quality, which is difficult to find elsewhere. Outside the cities, Australia is a vast, almost uninhabited wilderness. It contains many extraordinarylandmarks. Such as Ayers Rock, a great flat top mountain, 4kms long and 2kms wide. The native Australians are aboriginal regarded Ayers Rock as a sacred place, and painted images of people and animals in its many caves. The relationship between the aboriginals and the mainly European settlers has not been a comfortable one at all. However, things are improving and there is certainly much more respects these days for aboriginal culture. Another of Australia’s great attractions is its unique wildlife. Some creatures are cuddly and lovable. Others are less so, like this Tasmanian Devil. You can see why it got its name. And most famous of all, Australia’s national symbo l is the kangaroo, with its massive tail and huge legs, kangaroos are large animals –up to 2 meters in height yet. It’s extraordinary how it manages itself so fast and with such elegance. The baby kangaroo lives in her mother’s porch and is fed by her until it’s nearly one year old. Another great Australian wildlife site is under water. The Great Barrier reel, 2000km of corral, home to an incredible variety of fish and other wild life. And so we must leave this wonderful place. As they say around here “be seeing ya”.。

MADAM OLGA: You don’t need your machines any more, young man. Let them go!JOHN: No I can’t, I’m supposed to be selling them! MADAM OLGA: Very well, but you'll have to pay for the consultation first. That is my rule.JOHN: How much?MADAM OLGA: $150.JOHN: Oh, alright! Here you are. Please will you unlock the door now?MADAM OLGA: Have a nice day! You won’t.JOHN: Great! I shouldn’t have given her all that money. What a load of garbage! “You will meet some interesting new people! A beautiful young blonde woman.” In my dreams! Oh well, I’d better get on with it. Let's try next door.ANNIE: Coming!JOHN: Gosh! It’s true!ANNIE: What?JOHN: Sorry. Good morning, madam. Are you the only person in this house?ANNIE: No, I share it with three other people. Why? What’s it do with you?JOHN: Next question. Is the house owned or rented, and if rented, is it furnished or unfurnished?ANNIE: We rent it, unfurnished. Look, would you mind telling me who you are? I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before.JOHN: Yes; my name’s John Berry.ANNIE: John Berry?JOHN: Yes.ANNIE: Who used to live next door to my father? What thehell are you doing here?JOHN: Gee, of course! You're Annie Peters! Gosh, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you! You've changed a lot! Your hair's different; you're just as pretty as ever, though. Gosh, fancy that! Fancy us meeting each other again like this! Do you remember the good old days, when Hugo and I were neighbors, and... hey, I’m sorry Annie, I shouldn't have mentioned Hugo. I'm real sorry about what happened. ANNIE: So am I. Now, would you hurry up and explain what you came here for?JOHN: Er, yeah, sure, like, I'm here to demonstrate this amazing new machine, which makes clothes and washes coffee... No, I mean, it washes clothes and...ANNIE: So you didn't know I lived here? You just came here by accident, not on purpose?JOHN: Oh no. As I was saying, this machine...ANNIE: OK, that's all. Please go now.JOHN: Hey, Annie! Look, never mind about the machine! Are you doing anything tonight? What about tomorrow night?ANNIE: Go away!JOHN: Oh darn it! I shouldn’t have tried to sell her a machine; I should just have asked her out to dinner. What else did Madam Olga say? Some stuff about meeting interesting new people, wasn’t it?BEDGES: Excuse me, sir. Could we have a little word with you?JOHN: Eh?BEDGES: Just get into the car please sir.JOHN: What for? What about my boxes?BEDGES: You won't be needing them. In you go, please. JOHN: Hey, I can't just leave my boxes there! Where are you taking me?HENSON: Tell him we're asking the questions. BEDGES: We're asking the questions. What was the purpose of your visit to No. 26 Chernobyl Avenue, sir? JOHN: To sell them something. That's why I need those boxes. Please, can we -BEDGES: Do you know any of the inhabitants of the house?JOHN: No! I mean... well, yes. I know Annie... well, like, sort of. I mean, I used to know her father, before he... he, you know...BEDGES: So you've been a close friend of Miss Peters for quite a long time?HENSON: Ask him if he belongs to any subversive political organizations.BEDGES: Are you a member of any subversive political organizations, sir?JOHN: Oh no, no, no! I'm not political at all, I vote Republican. Oh, say can you see, By the dawn’s early light - HENSON: That's be all for now, Bedges.BEDGES: You can get out now, sir.JOHN: Thank you.BEDGES: Take care, won’t you?BEDGES: Haven’t we forgotten something?HENSON: What?BEDGES: I was very suspicious of those boxes, sir. We should have looked inside them.HENSON: No, we shouldn't. Too dangerous. You never know with these terrorists. Anyway, we don't want him to get suspicious of us, do we?BEDGES: No, sir.HENSON: Right. What we'll do is this: we'll follow him, and see what he does next. And let's tell the Chief whatwe've found.HENSON: Mr Carter? I have some very interesting news for you. We're following this guy who calls himself a doorto- door salesman, and, believe it or not...Section 37.1E Dialogue.MR CONN:Take a letter, please, Judith:SALESMANPERFORMANCE REPORTNAME OF SALESMAN: John Aloysius BerryNUMBER OF SALES TO DATE: 0Dear Colleagues,Although this salesman has only been working with the organization for two weeks, it is already quite possible to give a general picture of his success in selling, and his value to the organization.As far as his success in selling is concerned, the fact that in two weeks he has not sold anything at all I think says quite enough. As for his value to the organization, I would describe it as less than nothing; indeed, even less than that.I have asked Mr Berry to leave his position and to return to us the five Laundroperk machines which he has been unsuccessfully carrying around the streets of Washdon, as from next Monday. I need hardly say that I will be keeping the deposit of $500 which Mr Berry paid for these machines, though I will wait for him to return them before informing him of the fact.Signed October 26th,Eamonn T Conn.Section 37.2A Dialogue.KATE: I'll get it!KATE: Hello! 218-5434.KRISTI: Hello. Is that Annie Peters?KATE: Er, no. I'm, like, one of her room-mates. She's out, you know, shopping.KRISTI: When will she be back, do you think?KATE: Oh, I don't know. Hey, hang on a moment. I mean, who wants her?KRISTI: I'm a... a friend of hers. Look, would you be so kind as to give her a message?KATE: Hang on while I get a pen.KATE: Oh, heck! There must be one somewhere! Bloody thing doesn't write! OK, what's the message?KRISTI: My name is Kristi Schmidt. I have an urgent message for Annie from a German friend. Could you please tell her to contact me - that's Kristi Schmidt, Room 688, the Terminal Hotel, Washdon. I'll be here for the next week. KATE: Does she know your phone number?KRISTI: It's 222 493-4900. You won't forget to tell her it's urgent, will you?KATE: Don't worry, I'll tell her.KRISTI: Thanks. Bye-bye.JEAN: Hey, Kate, who's that?KATE: I don't know. Strange. Oh, I know, it must have been something to do with that German airport demonstration.JEAN: I thought that had finished a month ago.KATE: So did I. God, it's cold in here, Jean! Is the central heating still not working?JEAN: You mean, haven't I repaired it yet? No, I haven't, as a matter of fact.ANNIE: Hi.ANNIE: Hell, it's freezing in here!JEAN: Well don't look at me.ANNIE: Repairing things is your responsibility, Jean. It's part of our agreement, right?JEAN: Look, I've done my best; I just can't work out what's wrong with it. We'll have to get someone in to fix it, that's all.ANNIE: We're not paying some rip-off company. JEAN: Great! So we're going to freeze to death, are we? Until we can find someone who’ll do it for free? ANNIE: Look Jean, we’re supposed to be autonomous and self-sufficient. So we should be able to deal with a little mechanical problem like this.JEAN: Oh bravo! Hear, hear! That's all very well in theory, Annie, but I don’t know how to mend the central heating. If I'd known how to fix it I would have fixed it. Got that? KATE: Hey, take it easy, you two!KATE: Anyway, before you get any more involved in this, there's just been this really weird phone call for you, Annie.A lady called… oh hell, uh… Kristi, something or other.ANNIE: Never heard of her. What was it about?KATE: She said - what was it now? Let me see if I can remember…. er… yeah! There are these Germans, right, and they’re in... oh, I don't know, maybe some kind of trouble with the police, and... yeah, well, anyway, she's got a message for you.ANNIE: What Germans? What kind of trouble?KATE: Don't you know?ANNIE: No, I’ve got no idea. Are you sure she wasn't a cop?KATE: Well she didn't sound like a cop. But I must say, she was German, and I don't know what German cops sound like. No, hang on, if she'd been a cop, she'd just have rung off. She’d have called back later; she wouldn't have left her address and phone number. Don’t you think?ANNIE: Oh, she left her address and phone number? KATE: Yeah. Umm...it must be here somewhere. Oh, here! Here you are.ANNIE: Thanks.JEAN: While we're on the subject of cops, what about that guy that came to the door this morning?ANNIE: Oh, don't worry about him. He's just some hopeless idiot my father used to know.JEAN: Well I do worry, Annie. We've got mysterious Germans ringing us up. We've got the police watching us. How did this guy get hold of your address anyway? What's going on, eh?ANNIE: Calm down, Jean! It was completely by chance that he came here. He was selling electrical goods or something. As for this Kristi lady, look, if it had been anything really serious the Germans would have contacted me directly. Right?JEAN: Not the ones who are in prison.ANNIE: Anyway, I'll ring her later, OK? Look, I haven't even unpacked the shopping yet.ANNIE: I hope the fridge is working, at least.ANNIE: Well done, Jean.JEAN: My pleasure. And I mended the freezer, too. ANNIE: Listen, I’m exhausted. I'm going to my room to lie down for a bit. Will you both still be in later?JEAN/KATE: Yeah.ANNIE: OK. Oh, by the way, was there any mail for me? JEAN: Yeah, a couple of letters. I put them on your desk in your room.ANNIE: Thanks, Jean.NEWSREADER: German police still have no idea of the whereabouts of industrialist Werner Lembach, head of the giant chemical multinational Krapp. Mr Lembach was kidnapped two days ago, apparently by a group ofenvironmentalist terrorists. Meanwhile, here in Washdon, the Police Department are looking into the theory that a local organization may have helped to carry out the kidnapping.DAVID: Oh, Geez!NEWSREADER: We spoke to the Head of the Washdon Police Department’s Foreign and Political Section. Detective-Superintendent Harold Carter explained that, in his view …JUANITA: What is it, darling? Look, you haven't tidied up in here and you've still got the television on. Oh, really, David!JUANITA: Come on now, Liliane will be here any moment. What's the matter with you, David? Are you alright?JUANITA: That'll be her now. Oh, put that beer away, at least!JUANITA/LILIANE: Darling!JUANITA: Liliane, this is David.LILIANE: So, this is your charming husband. You’re right, darling, he’s terribly good-looking! Lovely to meet you, David - I've heard such a lot about you and your family! DAVID: What! What have you heard?JUANITA: David, why not go and make us some tea? OK, darling?DAVID: Oh, yeah. Sure.JUANITA: So this is our apartment, then. What do you think?LILIANE: But it's so small, darling!JUANITA: Yes, it's tiny: only 50 square meters, in fact. Still, there's enough room here for me, and David, and our little baby.LILIANE: I'm just dying to meet her, of course. Listen, darling, between you and me...DAVID: Here's the tea, and some cookies. Milk and sugar, Liliane?LILIANE: Lots of sugar, but no milk, please, David. JUANITA: We were just talking about the apartment, darling, while you were in the kitchen. My daddy bought it for us. He'd do anything for us. And it only cost $150,000.A nice neighborhood too; McCarthy Park's only a short walk away.LILIANE: Oh, parks are so boring!JUANITA: Well, we're very near all the big stores, too. Of course, we chose all the furniture ourselves, didn't we, David?DAVID: Yes, you - er, we did.JUANITA: You see that armchair you're sitting on, Liliane; well, you'll never guess what it's made from!LILIANE: Darling, I can't imagine!JUANITA: From the skins of buffaloes. Isn't that incredible?LILIANE: But darling, leather furniture’s so terribly, terribly last year. Anyway, I don't think David's very interested in this conversation. Are you, David?DAVID: Eh? Oh, er, you know, it's all the same to me. LILIANE: You have a far-away look in your eyes. Something must be on your mind, I guess.DAVID: Perhaps. You know -JUANITA: Look darling, Liliane's cup is empty. Why don't you go and get some more tea?DAVID: Sure. I’ll just be a moment.LILIANE: Tell me, Juanita darling, is it true what they say about David?JUANITA: Is what true? What who says? What are you talking about?DAVID: Here's the tea.LILIANE: That was quick.JUANITA: Ah, that’s because we cook by gas here, not by electricity, you see. Gas is so much quicker. What about you?LILIANE: Oh, I have an electric stove. But who cares? JUANITA: Now, Liliane, let me show you around the apartment. Come on, David!DAVID: Oh er, yes.JUANITA: So, this is the bedroom.LILIANE: The bed's enormous! It must be two meters wide!LILIANE: But it's much too soft! Soft beds are terrible for sleeping in!JUANITA: Are they? Now, do you see the curtains and the wallpaper?LILIANE: Yes. What about them?JUANITA: Well, they're the same pattern. Didn't you notice?LILIANE: Oh yes darling, how terribly clever of you! LILIANE: Ah-ha! Who is this handsome, mysterious man? DAVID: That's - that was, my father.LILIANE: Aha! Your father! I'm dying to hear all about him!JUANITA: Why don't you go and see if Sigismonda needs changing, darling?DAVID: OK. Fine.LILIANE: Now my dear, you've just got to tell me! Is it true that David's father was a member of an international criminal gang, and that he was murdered by his boss? Section 38.1A Dialogue.LILIANE: Now my dear, you've just got to tell me! Is ittrue that David's father was a member of an international criminal gang, and that he was murdered by his boss? JUANITA: Certainly not! I wouldn't have married David if he'd been the son of a criminal. How can you say such a thing?LILIANE: Sorry my dear, I'm only repeating what I've heard.DAVID: It’s alright, I'll get it!JUANITA: No you won't; I will!JUANITA: Hello!ANNIE: Hello, Juanita. Annie here.JUANITA: Annie? What is it? Is something wrong? ANNIE: No Juanita, everything's fine. How about you? JUANITA: I'm OK.ANNIE: Good. Well, can I have a word with David? JUANITA: What about?ANNIE: It's nothing important. Could I just speak to him, please?JUANITA: Very well. David! It's Annie, for you. DAVID: What? Just coming!DAVID: Hello, Annie. Where are you calling from? ANNIE: I'm at home. Look, David, I've got to talk to you urgently.DAVID: Yeah, sure, of course. But, you know, I don't want any trouble with the police, or anything. What if we met in the park?ANNIE: Haven't you noticed, David, it's snowing! I'd rather we met at your place. Can I come over in about an hour? DAVID: OK. It's 188b Mount Street, and it's in the basement. When you get to No. 188b, go down the steps outside...ANNIE: It's alright, David. I do remember how to get to your apartment…DAVID: Hello, Annie. Come in.ANNIE: Thanks.ANNIE: Hello, Juanita.JUANITA: Hello. Liliane, this is my sister-in-law, Annie. LILIANE: How lovely to meet you! So, I hear you're a wildly radical Green.ANNIE: I guess you could say that, yeah.LILIANE: How exciting! Do you go around blowing up nuclear power stations?ANNIE: No. I don't. I edit a magazine and I go around organizing meetings, as a matter of fact.LILIANE: How boring! It sounds just like my father's business.ANNIE: Listen David, can we have a word - in private? LILIANE: How mysterious! How embarrassing! DAVID: Alright. Why don't you come and say hello to thebaby, Annie?DAVID: Look Annie, if it isn't all that important perhaps we'd better, like, leave it for now, OK? This isn’t a great moment - you know how it is.ANNIE: I wouldn't have come here if it hadn't been important, would I?DAVID: Hello, Sigismonda darling. Say hello to your aunt Annie.ANNIE: I'd rather you didn't call me aunt.DAVID: What would you rather be called, then - uncle? ANNIE: Just call me Annie, that's all.ANNIE: Hello, Sigismonda, nice to see you! Look David, this is hopeless. We'll have to go to a coffee shop or something.DAVID: But the thing is, you know...ANNIE: Please!LILIANE: So you see, darling, I've rented my apartment to this enormous family of immigrants for 40,000 francs a month, and no-one can stop me. But tell me, my dear - DAVID: Uh… Annie and I are just going out for a quick cup of coffee and a chat. See you later.ANNIE: So long, Juanita.JUANITA: Liliane darling, excuse me for a moment. JUANITA: What is all this about, then?ANNIE: Juanita, it's a private and personal matter, which doesn't concern you.JUANITA: David happens to be my husband! Therefore whatever concerns him also concerns me!ANNIE: Look, I don't want to argue with you, Juanita. Can we go out please, David?JUANITA: You have no right to come here and behave like this!ANNIE: David! Come on!DAVID: Er… yes. Er… well - see you, darling. JUANITA: We'll talk about this - later!ANNIE: At last!DAVID: Oh! She'll murder me when I get back! ANNIE: You're so damn weak, David! Why do you let her walk all over you?DAVID: Well, she's not usually quite as bad as that, actually. Look, I'm sorry I gave your phone number to that German woman.ANNIE: Oh, that was you, was it? It doesn’t matter. DAVID: And all this business about the kidnapping and everything. Really, Annie, I just don't want to get involved in it. I mean, you know, I'm a married man with responsibilities.ANNIE: David, that's not why I came here. It's nothing to do with all that. Nothing to do with it at all. Something hashappened, and I’ve just got to tell you ….Section 38.1E Dialogue.LILIANE:Dear Juanita,It was absolutely marvelous to see you again the other day, and to meet your tiny, sweet little daughter, and your handsome, clever husband.I must tell you, my dear: the most extraordinary thing happened to me after I left you.I was stopped by this funny little man in a car; who asked me lots of awfully embarrassing questions about you and David and Annie. I wouldn't have minded so much if he hadn't been so terribly unattractive.Perhaps I shouldn't have told him that David used to take drugs but I had to tell him something just to get rid of him. I'm sure you understand.Now, I don't want to frighten you, darling, but I thought you really should see this simply awful magazine article: DANGEROUS ACQUAINTANCESWhy did the daughter of Mexico's Mr Big marry the son of an international drugs criminal, and brother of a wellknown terrorist? And who really gave the order to killWashdon "businessman" Hugo Peters? These are some of the questions that top reporter Kristi Schmidt will be trying to answer in her article in next month's Playperson. People are saying such terrible things about you, you see. If I were you I’d be very careful.Love and kisses,Your very ownLiliane.Section 39.1A Dialogue.HARRY: Carter here.HENSON: Hello Chief, Henson reporting.HARRY: Well?HENSON: The young lady we have been following, Ms Peters, left the apartment in Mount Street about seven minutes ago, accompanied by a young man, and they are now both walking down Park Street, toward McCarthy Park. HARRY: Who is the young man?HENSON: I'm unable to tell you his name, I'm afraid, sir. HARRY: Well, what does he look like?HENSON: It's a bit difficult to say, sir. He's about three hundred yards away from us now. He seems to be wearing a... coat. It's hard to say.HARRY: I thought you were supposed to be following them!HENSON: Unfortunately they are on the southbound side of the road, and we are parked in the northbound lane. HARRY: Look Henson, get over to the other lane andfollow them! Here we are on the point of catching a gang of major international terrorists, and you're afraid to cross the bloody road! Get on with it!HENSON: Yes, sir.ANGRY DRIVER: What do you think you're doing, you crazy idiot?ANGRY DRIVER: Look out!!!!HENSON: Well here we are, sir. I hope they didn't notice that.HARRY: Right. Now describe the young man to me. Tall or short? Fair or dark hair?HENSON: Tall with fair hair, sir.HARRY: Has he got a small mustache?HENSON: Yes, sir. And I was right; he is wearing a coat. HARRY: That'll be her brother David. I thought so. Now, what exactly are they doing?HENSON: Well, they're talking, sir. Discussing something, I'd say. She's showing him a letter.HARRY: Ah, is she? What does it say?HENSON: I'm not able to read it from here, sir, without driving on to the sidewalk. The sidewalk's very narrow, sir, not nearly wide enough for a big car like this…DAVID: That's definitely his handwriting! It's extraordinary, though, that he left it so long before contacting us.ANNIE: Maybe he wasn't able to contact anyone before now.DAVID: You mean he may have been in prison? God, that's the last thing I need right now. Look Annie, obviously I'm dying to see Dad again, but, like, you know how easily Juanita gets upset. So look, would you mind just trying to keep me out of it, you know? After all, it was you he wrote to, not me. I know that sounds awful, but...ANNIE: You're wasting your time, David. It doesn't depend on me, does it? Look at what he says in the letter: "For various obvious reasons I can't tell you in this letter how to get in touch with me, but I'll try and get a personal message to you or David in the next couple of weeks."DAVID: Oh no! Juanita'll divorce me!ANNIE: That wouldn't be the end of the world, so long as she took the child and left you with the money.DAVID: It'd probably be the other way around. I need a drink. How about coming to a bar with me, Annie? ANNIE: No thanks, I've got to go to the travel agent. DAVID: What for?ANNIE: Oh, I'm organizing a study tour of Albanian peasant communes.DAVID: God, that sounds really depressing! Well, we'll be in touch, OK?ANNIE: Sure. So long, David.HENSON: They're separating, sir.HARRY: Where are they going?HENSON: Well, one of them's going one way, and theother one's going the other way, sir.HARRY: Well, don't just sit there, follow them both! HENSON: We've only got one car, sir.HARRY: Oh, use your imagination! One of you stay in thecar and follow the guy, and the other one get a Taxi! And keep reporting back to me.HENSON: You heard what he said, didn't you? Out you get- find a cab, and follow that girl, OK?BEDGES: Yes, sir. Uh… you wouldn't happen to have afew dollars on you, would you, sir?HENSON: Oh, here you are!BEDGES: Thank you, sir. See you later. Taxi!CAB-DRIVER: Where to?BEDGES: I want to follow that girl, OK? The slim, fairhaired one.CAB-DRIVER: Disgusting! People like you should be locked up!BEDGES: Damn! Taxi! Taxi!CAB-DRIVER: What can I do for you, sir?BEDGES: I'm an officer from the Washdon Police Department, and...CAB-DRIVER: Well, I ain't done nothing, your honor!! Look, here's my license. Here are the papers for my cab. Everything's in order, you won't find nothing on me! Honestas the day is long, I am. Honest Lee, they call me... BEDGES: Never mind all that. I've got to follow somebody.CAB-DRIVER: Ah, got it, your honor. Got you now. Sorry about all that, y’know. So who are we following, then? BEDGES: That young lady over there, with blonde hair and the shoulder bag.CAB-DRIVER: Oh yeah, very neat, pretty little lady, real pretty. Friend of yours, huh? Huh? Know what I mean? BEDGES: Just get moving, please!CAB-DRIVER: Hey, it’s a funny old world, know what I mean? Still you gotta laugh, right? Know what I mean? BEDGES: What are you doing? She just went down that street; I told you to follow her!CAB-DRIVER: Can't go down there, your honor. It's a oneway street - know what I mean?BEDGES: Oh, darn it!HARRY: Carter here.BEDGES: Hello sir, Bedges reporting.HARRY: So where's the girl now?BEDGES: I'm afraid I haven't been able to follow her, sir.。

Rural blight and land use planning in Hong Kong(1997)

Rural blight and land use planning in Hong KongC.Y.JIM*Department of Geography and Geology,University of Hong Kong,Pokfulam Road,Hong KongSummaryDespite the rapid urbanization of Hong Kong over the last few decades,until the late1960s a serene countryside,contrasting with the bustling city close at hand,was left by default. Whereas many of the extra-urban hills have been designated as country parks,which guards them against development,the farmland and villages in the lowland have been intruded upon increasingly by non-conforming uses.The new-town programme initiated in the1970s accelerated the rural degradation.Agricultural decline and urban-generated forces such as city expansion,land-value appreciation,port development,suburbaniza-tion and China trade provided the impetus.Urban-oriented activities,in particular open storage and port back-up,informal factories and village houses,began to encroach indiscriminately.A landmark court judgement in1983allowing such uses of farmland initiated a rampant spread and rural blight.The small rural realm has telescoped and accentuated the degradation.The policy of minimum interference in indigenous villagers' affairs accounted partly for the slow response.Belated statutory measures,introduced in 1991,ushered modern planning into the rural areas for the®rst time.The long-term policy aims at containing the proliferation,discontinuing uses at sensitive locations and opening sites and facilities for orderly accommodation of an inevitable urban overspill.IntroductionDespite its overwhelmingly urbanized image, Hong Kong has managed to preserve a signi®cant rural envelope in the New Territories taking up 88%of its land area.Most lowlands,concen-trated in the New Territories,were previously devoted to agriculture which has declined drasti-cally since the1970s.Meanwhile,new towns and urban-oriented uses have intruded into farmlands. Rapid urbanization,container-port expansion, cross-border China trade and the pressing hous-ing needs of urban inhabitants and villagers have induced extensive land use changes in the New Territories.Rural areas have to accommodate the multiple demands generated from within and without.Quasi-urban and urban spill-over uses have superimposed upon the traditional rural ones in the absence of an integrated plan and statutory development control.The proliferation of such non-conforming uses has been aided re-cently by a substantially improved road and rail-way network.The unplanned,disorderly and piecemeal de-velopment has caused widespread degradation of the original rustic landscape.This has alarmed the community and,in response,the administration has tried belatedly to contain the despoliation and resume control.This study surveys the basic and immediate causes of rampant rural blight in Hong Kong,the con¯icting demands on rural land resources in an expanding city region,the chang-ing government attitude towards the vexing land use problem and possible solutions to the acute plight.The relevant landmark events related to rural land use in Hong Kong are summarized in Table1.Rural land administrationLand in Hong Kong,in particular the non-built-up portion,is situated mainly in the New Terri-tories which were leased by Britain from China in 1898for99years via the Convention of Peking (Endacott,1973).Most farmlands,the gist of this study,are found in the New Territories.The ad-ministration,upon taking up the borrowed sov-ereignty,wanted to translate the traditional Chinese tenure system into the ambit of a legal framework.There was,however,a promise to preserve traditional customs and practices(Evans, 1975)in what was then a predominantly agricul-tural entity.Land and property rights were highlighted, with a pledge of non-expropriation made to in-*Dr C.Y.Jim is a reader in the Department of Geography andGeology at the

citizens to appeal concerning encroachment of property rights by the government(Evans,1971).The o -cial policy to respect customs and traditions in the New Territories can be regarded as a surrogate for the ultimate protection.The New Territories Or-dinance(Hong Kong Government,1964)provid-ed a®rm reassurance of the promise.Nevertheless, some indigenous villagers still treat the govern-ment-imposed land tenure system as an expro-priation measure which has reduced the rights enjoyed previously under Chinese rule.To recognize ownership at the time of the New Territories lease,a land registration system had to be introduced.An ad hoc administration device was initiated in1905to formalize the titles of thousands of lots.A detailed survey together with a land tribunal to hear and judge claims enumer-ated16493ha of land in354277lots(Hadland, 1978).As most lots were small with fragmented ownership and a large number had to be dealt with in a tight schedule,it was administratively e cacious to tackle the claims in an en bloc manner rather than as individual titles.An um-brella legal instrument called the Block Crown Lease(BCL)was instituted for a given block of land in a district,with uniform lease conditions,to cover the constituent lots.Two types of uses were recognized in the BCL document,namely agricultural and building(rural or village-style dwellings).A change in land use, according to an implied covenant,required per-mission from the lessor(the land authority).With a blanket application of lease conditions,any change in the interpretation of the contents in a law court with a common-law tradition would set a precedent for all BCL land.It should be noted that land in Hong Kong is leased for a®xed term (not sold as a freehold)(Bristow,1984).At the turn of the last century with a prepon-derant agricultural economy in the New Territo-ries,the BCL was adequate as a control on rural land use.Due to the politically sensitive nature of New Territories'matters,land policies have been kept deliberately to a minimum.Whereas a short distance away in the city,land was subject to de-velopment controls,the rural areas were exempt. The Town Planning Ordinance enacted as late as 1939had no jurisdiction over the New Territories (Pun,1984).The ambitious new-town programme initiated in the1970s(Lo,1992)pushed urban growth into the New Territories and extended the sphere of development control(Town Planning O ce,1988a).The remaining rural land continued to be exempt from planning measures. Overall,farmland in the New Territories was subject to a lax control regime based on contrac-tual lease conditions and administrative measures. Without a statutory basis,the development-con-trol machinery evolved from the assumption that the BCL was meant to be agricultural.Accord-ingly,the government could dictate the direction and pace of land use changes by utilizing its dis-cretion over waiving lease conditions to permit non-agricultural activities.The o cial mentality of minimal intervention on rural matters was punctuated by attempts to meet the realistic de-velopment aspirations of the villagers.Despite the increasing need for better development control, the determination to depart from an ingrained practice was lacking.Outside farmlands,found mainly in the low-land,the rugged hills occupy some80%of the land area.This largely empty and undeveloped, hilly countryside component presents a vivid contrast with the intensively cultivated®elds and village settlements.Most hills are public land with steep slopes of high ecological or scenic value. With increasing and unplanned impingement by recreationists and other forms of destruction(Jim, 1986),this repository of natural ingredients is also threatened.The swift statutory designation of a series of country parks in the1970s,covering nearly40%of the land area,a orded secure protection to most good-quality hilly lands.All developments,except those essential to rural communities,are not allowed in the protected±area system.This safeguard against development pressure is Hong Kong's green bulwark and per-haps the last defence against relentless urbaniza-tion(Jim,1987).Between the country parks and the cultivated lowland lies the twilight zone of foothills with lax control.Whereas most of this land is public,there is no clearly de®ned policy on land use and man-agement.Such marginal land represents a diver-sity of landscapes,land uses,access,ownership and jurisdiction.The management responsibility is nebulous and the situation is open to exploitation by unscrupulous elements.Table1.(Contd.)Year Event Remarks1995Guidelines on applicationfor open storage andport back-up uses issued Document to help applicants to apply for legal permis-sion of change to non-conforming uses1995Enforcement actionsstepped up Substantial increase in®nes and introduction of power to resume land compulsorily in intransigent cases271 Rural blight and land use planning in Hong KongPiecemeal land use changesDespite implied restrictions on land use changes in the BCL,various administrative arrangements had been adopted for conversions of land into other uses.Short-term waivers(STW)had been granted to landowners for non-agricultural uses. Similarly,rural public land had been leased via short-term tenancies(STT)for temporary uses.A recent survey counted as many as57000such permits scattered throughout the New Territories (Town Planning O ce,1988b).Common uses included manufacturing workshops,domestic units and structures for retailing and commerce. Such short-term grants were habitually renewed and,thus,in e ect became permanent conversions.In addition,a staggering66000ille-gal and often unsightly squatter structures,o -cially tolerated,have been enumerated(Buildings and Lands Department,1989).The small-house policy,allowing each male indigenous villager over18years old to build a dwelling has caused random proliferation of often incongruous struc-tures.The lack of planning with regard to location and layout and the poor provision of infrastruc-ture except the basic services have,in some places, created a haphazard landscape with poor living environments.The collective impacts of these in-sidious encroachments on the rural land has di-luted the rustic character and contributed to rural blight(Dwyer,1986).Without an integrated strategy,the gradual incursion of non-agricultural uses into rural Hong Kong has been disorderly.Good-quality farm-lands or sites with high-grade landscapes were not given protection and the cumulative e ects on the environment or rural communities were largely neglected.As most a ected lots were small in total their visual impacts did not reach alarming pro-portions up until the early1980s,the public and the government were not unduly concerned.O -cial environmental planning guidelines(Environ-mental Protection and Planning Departments, 1991)did not incorporate rural landscape for preservation.The regranting of a large tract of agricultural land in the New Territories in1975for a suburban housing project(Lai,1979)conveyed the message that lease conditions could be modi-®ed for non-farming purposes.Until the1950s,the New Territories still had a serene rural ambience with active and meticu-lously manicured farmlands,®sh ponds and some 635nucleated villages punctuated by nine sleepy market towns(Davies,1949;Tregear,1958).The city and countryside were sharply demarcated with little overlap or interpenetration.The piece-meal encroachment of non-agricultural uses then was incipient and limited in scope.From the 1970s,the massive new-town programme began to invade the rural hinterland and triggered drastic changes(Bristow,1989).Large tracts of farmland were transformed into urban lots within a short span and some2million people had been trans-ferred into the hitherto rural realm.Meanwhile, the area of active farmlands dropped precipitously (Agriculture and Fisheries Department,1982) from13000ha in1974to3800ha in1994and the agricultural population from300000to a residual pool of merely20000(Census and Statistics De-partment,1994a)over the same period(Fig.1).Of the lost farmlands,approximately4000ha was resumed for urban growth,another4000ha or so left fallow and the remainder converted to non-agricultural uses(Tse,1992).The abandoned farmlands denoted underutilized if not wasted re-sources(Agriculture and Fisheries Department, 1978).As the possibility for agricultural revival was bleak,there was an urge to make alternative use of the idle land(Agriculture and Fisheries Department,1992).The anachronistic and minimal rural develop-ment policy began to lag behind the pressing needs of a burgeoning economy.The rapidly expanding city spread its sphere of in¯uence relentlessly into the rural envelope.The small countryside forced the juxtaposition and overlapping of the city,ur-ban fringe,urban shadow and ruralhinterland(terminology of Russwurm(1977)).The urban-emanated impacts had been telescoped,concen-trated and strongly felt.Agricultural decline, contemporaneous with rapid urbanization,pro-vided a readily available land pool to receive the intrusions.The distance and travel time between urban and rural areas had been reduced by new towns and associated high-capacity roads and railways. Meanwhile,the rapid rise in urban land value had pushed some manufacturing activities away from the city core.There was an economic necessity to accommodate some land uses that could not be adequately catered for within the legitimate urban property market.Rising environmental con-sciousness had raised expectations and rendered some industrial operations less welcome in the city.The increasingly stringent livestock-waste control contributed to further agricultural decline (Hong Kong Government,1990;Planning,Envi-ronment and Lands Branch,1991a).Rising a u-ence had lifted citizens'aspirations for better housing and living environment.More people sought low-density suburban dwellings which re-quired extensive and cheap land available in the New Territories.Since the1970s the government has seen®t to favour such low-density residential use of idle farmland.New dwellings occupied mainly former®elds and®sh pond areas spatially segregated from existing urban areas.Such a spread of built-up cover,non-contiguous to ex-isting urban areas,has been described as leap-frog suburbanization.The rapid recent growth of the port,in partic-ular the container port which had achieved the world's highest tonnage throughput(Government Information Services,1995),posed an additional contestant for rural lands.The shortage of in-terminal spaces and facilities necessitated farm-lands being usurped for port back-up uses.The phenomenal growth of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone just across the border in China and beyond provided another impetus to open up the New Territories for urban in¯uences.The massive increase in cross-border trade(Census and Statistics Department,1994b)and the tight linkage between Hong Kong entrepreneurs and manufacturing activities in China(Federation of Hong Kong Industries,1992),mainly for outward processing(Census and Statistics Department, 1994b),augmented the port back-up needs.The limited rural realm in Hong Kong was,in e ect, sandwiched between two rapidly growing urban regions.Rural land use changes,in particular in the last two decades,has been a tell-tale sign of economic shifts and restructuring in the region.The need to encroach into the New Territories could be re-garded as inevitable.Changing circumstances, however,demand a bold departure from past practices in land use policies.Without proper and prompt response to the transformation,the problem is bound to be aggravated.The failure to modify an outdated mentality to match evolving market forces has laid the seed for the subsequent proliferation of abuses.The opportunity to mould the location,pattern and form of urban-oriented uses has been missed.Widespread land misuseRural land use had hardly received government guidance until recently.The primary activity,ag-riculture,like other sectors of the economy,re-ceived little intervention and was left to market force adjustment.The purported o cial intention to maintain some agriculture for strategic reasons was not backed-up by actions.Besides basic technical and marketing supports,the farmers were left to fare on their own.Investment on the rural infrastructure,besides essential services,had traditionally been restricted.No agriculture land use plan had ever been designed.Widespread farm abandonment had triggered little government ini-tiative,except a small-scale agricultural land re-habilitation scheme(Agriculture and Fisheries Department,1992)with poor response.The o cial attitude towards rural land use is-sues was basically reactive and problem oriented, lacking a comprehensive strategy.The responsi-bility for rural matters,dispersed over more than ten government departments,did not help.The New Territories'land outside the new towns was generally conceived as a handy receptacle for dis-placed urban-oriented activities.The borrowed inhabitants,the indigenous villagers,were treated leniently,purportedly to preserve their way of life. Whereas urban areas were subject to stringent statutory planning controls,the rural counterpart was exempt.By the early1980s,the rural landscape had been somewhat degraded by scattered structures,per-manent and temporary,legal and illegal.The liv-ing environment for rural inhabitants was far from satisfactory,due to inadequacies in sewage and waste disposal,drainage,roads,pollution and haphazard development.Such emerging blight, however,paled in comparison to what was to happen.Subsequent large-scale abuse was trig-gered by a1983landmark court case which set a legal precedent for all BCL land.The government prosecuted the Melhado Company for the illegal storage of construction materials on farmland and lost the case.Upon appeal the case was dismissed again(Attorney General v.Melhado Investment Ltd,1983).The judgement was tantamount to le-gitimizing the use of thousands of hectares of BCL farmlands for non-agricultural purpose. Thereafter,BCL landowners grasped the op-portunity to pro®t from their otherwise idle property.They began to rent their land to urban-oriented users on a large scale to create a fait accompli situation if and when sanctions should come,assuming that control measures would not273 Rural blight and land use planning in Hong Kongbe retrospective.The Melhado®asco demolished the previous control by virtue of lease conditions. The ensuing rampant spread of open storage and containers urgently needed a substitute regulatory mechanism.The government could have tested the case at the ultimate legal resort(the Privy Council in London).It could have sued the landowners for breach of the lease covenant related to the`of-fensive trade'clause,by interpreting adverse visual and environmental impacts as o ensive.It could have amended environmental protection legisla-tion to facilitate conviction in rural areas on the grounds of wilful environmental damage.Whereas the en bloc modi®cation of the BCL was consid-ered too drastic and unacceptable,it could have amended the old Town Planning Ordinance to check the despoliation.Unfortunately,the ad-ministration pondered until a belated amendment of the ordinance in1990(Hong Kong Govern-ment,1991).The unexpectedly long7year window of windfall opportunity was fully exploited.An ex-plosive spread of unsightly open storage has irre-versibly damaged rural amenity(Planning Department,1992a).Whereas some farmland conversions were to be anticipated,the magnitude of the decay was beyond expectation.A wide range of uses was involved.The principal intrud-ers were construction equipment and materials, vehicle dismantling and vehicle parts,new and used vehicles,miscellaneous products and work-shops.For port back-up activities,container storage and repair,container freight yard and container lorry parking quickly caught up in terms of acreage(Planning Department,1994a). Whereas some operations had received approval as short-term waivers or tenancies,the majority had not.A recent study in1993(Planning Department, 1994b)enumerated237sites(198ha)for port back-up and1453sites(362ha)for open storage. The comparable data a decade ago were,respec-tively,23sites(28ha)and586sites(276ha).Fu-ture demands have been projected to reach, respectively,507ha and753ha by the year2011. Most existing sites are concentrated in the north-west and secondarily in northeast of the New Territories,where more farmlands are found (Table2).To follow locational advantage,they are situated close to the China border and in a ribbon-like con®guration along major roads (Planning Department,1990a).The rather continuous occupation of roadside sites gives an accentuated impression of visual blight(Fig.2). There,basic site requirements,namely relatively cheap land,easy access,minimum site preparation work,scope for expansion and less stringent planning control,could be easily met. Besides visual intrusion,the non-conforming uses have engendered varied environmental im-pacts.The unplanned developments are beginning to penetrate deep into the heart of the countryside away from major roads.The®lling of®sh ponds and®elds has caused an irreversible loss of pro-ductive farmlands.The lack of proper drainage, the blockage of watercourses and the reduction of ¯ood-plain¯ow and storm-water storage capacity have induced more frequent and severe¯ooding (Drainage Services Department,1990).The lack of a bu er distance and screening at the interface with residential areas and villages is a chronic source of noise,dust,smoke and odour nuisance, as well as potential hazards in the form of®re, chemical leakage and falling container stacks.The poor treatment and disposal of waste have caused pollution of ground water,streams and the near-shore marine habitats.The narrow village roads used by large trucks,including container haulage, pose an incongruous tra c hazard to a ected in-habitants.The frequent lorry trips have overbur-dened the New Territories'road network and contributed signi®cantly to tra c congestion. Damage to the infrastructure,including siltation and the in®lling of water courses and cracking road surfaces,are increasingly common.The overall degradation of scenic and landscape re-sources is widely lamented.Belated land use planningAfter the Melhado case,preparations were made to overhaul the outdated1939Town Planning Ordinance(TPO)(Hong Kong Government, 1988),to include inter alia development control of rural areas and to curb rural degeneration.Due to many complex and contentious issues(Planning, Environment and Lands Branch1991a,b),how-ever,the review process was not completed by 1997.To avoid procrastination,an interim amendment was made in1990(Hong Kong Government,1990;Planning Department,1990b) and passed in January1991despite vigorous ob-jections from vested interests.The amended ordinance(Hong Kong Government,1991)en-compasses some pioneering provisions.For the ®rst time the entire territory,rather than just ur-ban areas and new towns,is covered.The planning authority is empowered to designate development permission areas(DPAs)as a tentative instrument to require permission to change land use in rural New Territories.Moreover,to forestall unscru-pulous conversions during the readings of the bill, interim DPA(IDPA)plans were published before the formal enactment of the amended ordinance. The legislation was to take e ect from the date of the bill announcement.This pre-emptive declara-tion of a forthcoming legislation,equivalent to a ministerial moratorium,was necessary to arrest rural blight.DPA plans cover much of the New Territories, in particular places with existing or potential abuse.The legislative approach envisages a three-stage successive re®nement;a¯ow-diagram sum-mary is given in Fig.3.The initial IDPA plans,274The Environmentalist JimT a b l e 2.L a n d u s e p l a n n i n g (a r e a i n h a )i n s i x r u r a l d i s t r i c t s i n t h e N e w T e r r i t o r i e s o f H o n g K o n g aL a n d u s eR u r a l d i s t r i c tT o t a l (h a )T o t a l (%)Y u e n L o n gN o r t h -e a s t S a i K u n g T u e n M u n I s l a n d S h a t i nR u r a l A g r i c u l t u r e 1368.21746.231.527.929.03202.918.9V i l l a g e -t y p e d e v e l o p m e n t1058.0465.2174.088.812.46.31804.610.7U r b a n (m a i n b u i l t -u p )R e s i d e n t i a l (a l l g r o u p s )675.448.189.87.927.1848.25.0C o m p r e h e n s i v e d e v e l o p m e n t a r e a 118.763.65.7187.91.1I n d u s t r i a l 126.940.1166.91.0C o m m e r c i a l /R e s i d e n t i a l 10.810.80.1C o m m e r c i a l0.10.90.90.0U r b a n (o t h e r s )G o v e r n m e n t ,i n s t i t u t i o n a l a n d c o m m u n i t y 101.9140.427.371.58.21.8351.12.1O t h e r s p e c i ®e d u s e s 86.18.337.627.10.8159.80.9O p e n s p a c e48.414.40.81.81.266.50.4C o n s e r v a t i o n a n d r e c r e a t i o n C o n s e r v a t i o n a r e a 2497.2401.6681.759.33639.721.5G r e e n b e l t 1081.6929.4344.6392.2145.024.82917.717.2S i t e o f s p e c i a l s c i e n t i ®c i n t e r e s t 508.2104.83.7616.83.6R e c r e a t i o n 409.7109.959.218.4597.33.5C o a s t a l p r o t e c t i o n a r e a 164.235.023.8223.11.3C o u n t r y p a r k 9.7129.50.6139.80.8M i s c e l l a n e o u s U n s p e c i ®e d u s e s 570.7378.7949.45.6M a j o r r o a d /d r a i n a g e c h a n n e l 346.0118.450.741.11.7557.93.3U n d e t e r m i n e d 250.0250.01.5N o n -c o n f o r m i n g O p e n s t o r a g e118.9145.6264.51.6T o t a l (h a )9520.64370.81660.11010.0241.9122.616925.9T o t a l (%)56.225.89.86.01.40.7100.0aT h e d a t a a r e c o n d e n s e d f r o m 30R O Z P s a n d ®v e D P A p l a n s i s s u e d b y P l a n n i n g D e p a r t m e n t o f H o n g K o n g G o v e r n m e n t i n 1994±1995.275Rural blight and land use planning in Hong Kong。

Until the late 19th century the country was virtually closed to foreigners and seemed t be totally absorbed in its own complex and highly formal traditions and rituals .A classic example is the famous tea ceremony where the , use of special movements and gestures, turns the preparation of tea into a form of the meditation, So this is traditional Japan, tranquil spiritual, and unworldly and this by way of total contrast is the modern Japan. The industrial giant which dominates world markets in so many key industries. Here we are in Tokyo , a vast and incredibly wealthy city of over250,000,000. People no longer closed to outsiders , at least commercially Japan , today , imports largely goods from all over the world, Foreign signs, foreign labels are everywhere and always masses and masses of peopleThe Japanese are not individualists. They work in groups and they spend their leisure time in groups as well , When come to food, The Japanese are perhaps the most discriminating consumers in the world .Classic dishes like Sushi requires not only the finest ingredients but also elaborate and time-consuming preparationIn the country where technology seems to rule every aspect of life, good food is still prepared lovingly and patiently by hand. We’re long way from Suchi and the tea ceremony is this Tokyo dance club, yet even here .There’s something characteristically Japanese .You could say these young people are simply expressing their fascination with technology and their love of group activities. The Japanese learn group consciousness very early on in life. This ability to work in a team is a major factor in the country’s economic successBut there are some individualists in Japan even if they only show themselves in groups, all of them affecting the same look .These Takenoko are obsessed with the fashions and styles of in 1950’s in America which they of course, they imitate almost perfectlySo away from the modern world and from the imitations of other cultures ,we return to traditional Japan with its temples and its religious statues. The Bhudda preach the non-attachment to the material world what would he make of modern Japanese societyAt times Japan disappears to be a country which has lost touch with its spiritual and cultural roots .But in fact Japan’s modern achievements are solidly based on her traditional qualities patience love of formality o and pains-taking attention to the details.。

Our destination today is one of American’s favorite cities, San Francisco. It’s a thriving and prosperous business center, of course. But S.F has more reminders of the past than most American cities, such as the famous cable cars.Historic and ultra modern building can be found side by side, even in the downtown area. Shopping and above all, eating, out, are very popular activities in this sociable and extravert city.S.F is built on a series of very steep hills, which have figured in innumerable movies. Nob hill, for instance, has been the scene of many hair-raising car chases.The city was found in1776 by Spanish settlers and still today has many very large immigrants communities, notably Chinese, Hispanic and Japanese .So it’s not surprising that S.F should have one of thelargest Catholic cathedrals in the whole united St ates. St. Mary’s a cathedral was built in the 1981’s to replace an earlier church destroyed by fire in1962.But this very diverse and often unconventional city is home t many different groups and communities. The largest of all the immigrants communities here is the Chinese. S.F’s chinatown is said to be the largest Chinese city in the world outside Asia. It contains much more than the restaurants and food stores there, which one can find in many other cities. Here there are the Chinese –owned businesses of all kinds. And there are fruit and vegetable markets and a rich and varied street life, which is not often found in American cities.Downtown S.F is so much more than a business center. It’s a placeto live, to shop, and to meet friends. The city is famous for the creativity of its inhabitants, which often expresses itself in unexpected and unconventional ways. The sea is never very far away inS.F. and the waterfront has become a major focus for tourism as well as for fishing and transportation. There are over 40 piers containing art galleries, restaurants, theatres and innumerable shops. And the Asian influence is over present, too. including not only tourism, but also modes of transportation such as the cycle rickshaw. S.F’s waterfront offers many different attractions, most of them related ,in some way to the sea. We can even find fish and chips here, British style. Thoughit’s pretty certain that the porti ons will be larger.Most visitors to S.F pay a visit to Alcatrax Island, sight of the famous prison closed in 1963 and, since 1973, open to the public. We shouldn’t leave S.F without mentioning gold. It was the discovery of gold in these hills in the 1840s which first attracted large numbers of settlers to the area. But toda y’s visitors come for very different reasons. S.Foffers a combination of visual attractiveness, cultural richness, and quality of life which is equaled by few cities in the world.。
