(Alison and Alan are in London talking about telephones.)

Alison: I’ve got to make a phone call. There is a phone box over there.
Alan: Now it is 5:30 already. Why don’t you make a call later? It is cheaper after 6 pm.
Alison: Is it? Oh, good. I thought it cost the same. I’ll wait till I get home then. Where can you find out how much phone calls cost?
Alan: You can find out at the front of any telephone directory.
Alison: Ah, I must have a good look. Does it give any other information?
Alan: Yes, you will get any information you need, such as the weather forecast, gardening information, etc.
Alison: Good. I’ll have a look. How can I arrange an alarm call? My brother’s arriving from Paris early tomorrow and I must get to the airport very early in the morning.
Alan: Well, you’d better book before 10:30 pm the previous evening.
Alison: That seems simple enough. Actually I think I’ll phone my brother this afternoon. I’ve got the phone number of his hotel but what if he isn’t in when I phone? It could be expensive and I can’t afford to keep phoning all afternoon.
Alan: Well, you could make a personal call. You can tell the operator your brother’s name, then your message can be left for your brother and you would not pay any money until you talk to him.
Alison: Perfect. I’ll do that. Thank you, Alan.

The population density of the UK is about 234 inhabitants per square kilometre, which is well above the European Community average of 143 per square kilometre. England is the most densely populated member of the EC with 364 people per square kilometre (with Greater London having a density according to the latest figures of 4263 people per square kilometre) and Scotland the least densely populated with 56 people per square kilometre, while Wales and Northern Ireland have 138 and 112 people per square kilometre respectively. Now lefs turn to the figures for some of Britain’s largest urban areas.

Greater London, the first city in the list, has an area of 1580 square kilometres. It also has a large population of 6735.4 thousand. Birmingham in the English Midlands is 264 square kilometres in area with a population of 993.7 thousand. Leeds, the largest city in the north of England, is 562 square kilometres with a population of 709.6 thousand. The industrial Scottish town of Glasgow, with an area of 198 square kilometres, has a surprisingly high population of 703.2 thousand.

Last year, there were 6214 full-time undergraduate students with 3472 men and 2742 women at the university. The distribution of these students was as follows.

1. Beginning with the field of science, we find high domination of the field by men, with 1137 men and 616 women enrolling in science.
2. Next, in the field of social science, we again find domination by men, the figures being 484 for men, 401 for women.
3. In the field of engineering, the difference is even greater. The number for men is 509 while only 56 women are enrolled in engineering.
4. In the field of arts, the number for men is 593 and for women it is 943. This is the first field we find dominated by women.
5. In medicine there are 306 men and somewhat more women at 336. This is a second field in which women lead.
6. Turning to dentistry, as you might expect, the field is dominated by men. The number for men is 139 and for women it is 107.
7. In law and in veterinary science, we are happy to see there isn’t much difference between men and women in these two fields. In law men number 182 and women 171. In veterinary science the figure for men is 110 while for women it is 104.

The 2013 Family Spending Survey shows households spent the largest proportion of their income on transport, rent, fuel and power, education and recreation and culture. Let’s look at their percentages.

From 2011 to 2013, the percentage of households on transport increased slightly from 30% in 2011 to 32% in 2013. However, the percentage of households on the rent showed a large increase from 40% in 2011 to 60% in 2013. In fact, the percentage of households on fuel and power was over 50% throughout the three years. There was a steady rise in the percentage of homes with education from 35% in 2011 to 55% in 2013. There has been a fall in spending on recreation and culture. The percentage of households showed a slight decrease from 39% in 2011 to 37% in 2013. It seems likely that people will spend the largest proportion of their income on both rent and education in the UK in the future.

Listening Activity No. 17

Good morning. Fd like this morning to continue our discussion about British trade, and I have brought a couple of pie charts that Fd like you to look at. They give information about British trade by geographical distribution in 2013.

The left pie chart is for exports and the right one is for imports. Now let’s look first at the left pie chart, the exports pie chart. You can see the European Union accounted for 55% of Britain’s exports trade in 2013, and the other developed countries accounted for respectively, North America at 15%, and the other developed countries accounted for 10%. These shaded areas represent the developing countries’ portion. The larger one is for other developing countries except the oil exporting countries, which accounts for 8%. And the smaller, which is for the oil exporting countries, received 7% of Britain’s exports in 2013. The last and smallest was Britain’s rather minor exports to former centrally planned economies and this figure was only 5% in 2013.

Now let’s take a look at the right pie chart which is for imports. The distribution here is roughly similar. The European Union accounted for 52% of Britain’s imports in 2013, and the

other developed countries accounted for, again, a large portion. North America accounted for 18%, and other developed countries represent 12% of Britain’s imports in 2013. Turning to developing countries once again, the larger of the two shaded areas is for developing countries other than oil exporting countries. And these accounted for about 8% of Britain’s imports in 2013 and the remaining shaded area which is for oil exporting countries accounted for only 5% of Britain’s import in 2013. 5% also is the figure for Britain’s imports from centrally planned economies, as you can see from the lined area in the figures.

Researchers have done some investigation into what young people believe is a woman’s place in society. Here is a report on some of their findings.

The Chinese are consistent supporters of sex equality with only 12% of young people believing that a woman’s place is in the home. 93% are enthusiastic about sharing the housework and 85% of them believe that women should be paid the same for doing the same job. 80% think that nursing is a woman’s job and 90% of them believe that mining is only men’s work. 13% of Chinese, an extremely low percentage, believe cooking is solely a woman’s job and 7%, even fewer, think that only she should do the washing.

For a more traditional view of a woman’s place, turn to the Japanese. 52% think women belong in the home. 89% of young people believe that a couple should share the housework and get equal pay for doing the same job. 65% of them believe nursing is a good job for women and 90% believe that mining is solely men’s work. 75% of them believe a woman should do the washing and 82% of them think she should do the cooking at home.

80% of Koreans believe men and women should get the same pay for the same job. 39% believe a woman’s place is in the home. 75% of them believe that housework should be shared between men and women if both work, but there’s almost a complete reversal when it comes to doing the washing and cooking. Here, very few believe in sharing the work. 62% and 65% respectively believe that women should do both. 85% of Koreans believe nursing is a woman’s job and 87% think mining is a man’s job.

Turning to Thailand, we find a country that’s not over enthusiastic about equality: 45% of young people believe that a woman should stay at home. However, there’s an interesting 20% gap between whether cooking and washing are solely women’s jobs. 67% vote for women doing the washing, while only 47% feel the same way about cooking and 86% of Thais believe that housework should be shared between men and women. 87% of young people believe that men and women should be paid the same for the same job. 92% think nursing is women’s work and 95% of them believe mining should be done by men.

The British are a nation of newspaper readers. Many of them even have a daily paper delivered to their homes in time of breakfast. British newspapers can be divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more serious and cover home and foreign news thoughtfully while popular newspapers like shocking, personal stories as well as some news. These two groups of papers can be distinguished easily because quality newspapers are twice the size of popular newspapers.

Now you are going to hear the circulation of some of these two groups of newspapers in 2012, and when they were founded.

First, quality daily newspapers:

The Daily Telegraph was founded in 1855 and its circulation was 560,471 in 2012. The circulation of The Times was 403,770, and it was founded in 1785. The Guardian was founded in 1821 and its circulation was 202,675 in 2012. The Financial Times was founded in 1888 and its circulation was 293,326.

Now come to quality Sunday newspapers:

The Sunday Times was established in 1822 and its circulation was 145,000 and the circulation of The Observer was 480,000. The Observer was founded in 1791. The Sunday Telegraph was established in 1961 and its circulation was 830,000 in 2012.

Now let us look at the circulation for popular daily newspapers in 2012.

The Daily Express was founded in 1900 and its circulation was 533,451. The Sun was founded in 1964 and its circulation was 2,384,895. The Mirror was established in 1903 and its circulation was 1,064,292. The circulation of The Daily Mail was 1,640,381 and it was founded in 1896.

Now let’s look at the popular Sunday newspapers.

News of the World was founded in 1843 and its circulation was 1,100,000. The Sunday Mirror was founded in 1963 and the circulation was 1,580,000. The People was founded in 1881 and its circulation was 1,290,000. The Mail on Sunday was founded in 1982, and the circulation was 1,866,701. Sunday Express was founded in 1918 and the circulation was 850,000.
