I even found a Thai sauce there that I couldn't find anywhere else. I think you'll be very happy with what you find at this market.
#Person2#: Well, I will check it out on Monday. I wonder if they have the pho noodles that I like a lot.
#Person1#: Probably. You should go on Saturday instead. That's when they have the best deals.
#Person2#: I hate crowds. Everyone will be going at that time.
#Person1#: Then try Sunday morning. But I don't think the sales last all weekend. | #Person1# suggests #Person2# going to the Chinese market for good deals. Since #Person2# dislikes big crowds, #Person1# suggests going on Sunday mornings. |

lord: You are more than worthy. Your humility is what makes you worthy. How will you be able to quiet the unrest?
humble knight: Thank you for your king words ma Lord. I feel the source of the issue lies with townsman Fabian. He goes to the tavern nightly and is referring to many things that are exaggerated or untrue regarding your rule! I know this only because my brother in law owns the tavern and hears a lot of local chatter and nonsense in his sober state
lord: Will he hear reason? Or will we need to use stronger tactics?
humble knight: I fear the latter ma Lord.
lord: Unfortunate. I hate to put anyone in the dungeon, but we cannot have a mutiny you understand. At least try reason.
humble knight: Understood ma Lord, Do you want me to try and quickly resolve this without you, or do you want to see him lashed and put in the dungeon?
lord: Try to work it out first.

a reluctant nun: Well yes .. I suppose all those blood stains do not help. But there are other things performed here but sacrifices!

Hefin David AM: Do you think that that is a view that is held within universities and are you concerned about that ? Because it is a view that is obviously held within Cardiff University
Kirsty Williams AM: No I would say that that is a view held by an individual in Cardiff University—
Hefin David AM: Who has influence over students
Kirsty Williams AM: Well that is a view held by an individual in Cardiff University And actually Cardiff University—indeed all Welsh universities—accept the Welsh baccalaureate as an Alevel equivalent I think it is really important to reflect on the wide range of opportunities at higher education that the Welsh bac affords individuals That means that it is deemed as an equivalent to Alevel for the vast majority of universities to get in to some of the most competitive courses such as dentistry medicine veterinary science So those courses where we know there is a high demand and high competition for places there are institutions that are using that including Cardiff to get into their medical degree
Hefin David AM: Nick Brazil the deputy principal of Gower College said about 50 per cent of the Russell Group do not value the Welsh bac
Kirsty Williams AM: Well I do not know where he is getting that from I have made it a personal commitment to establish this with universities I have visited both Cambridge and Oxford I spoke again to Cambridge Oxford Bath Southampton St Andrews only last week who were exhibiting at the Seren conference I specifically took the opportunity to meet with those universities and to talk to them about how they feel about the Welsh bac They have a high regard for the Welsh baccalaureate in a variety of ways First of all for many of those universities for many of their courses they use the Welsh bac as an equivalent to an Alevel If they do not there are some courses for instance where they will lower their offer to gain a place at that university if the Welsh bac is passed at a certain level So for instance rather than maybe offering a Welsh student A A B they would offer a Welsh student A B B plus a Welsh bac thus giving students two opportunities to gain a place at that university either with or without their Welsh bac qualification Even for those universities that do not use the Welsh baccalaureate as a formal part of their offer—and this is the conversation I had again last week with Oxford and Cambridge—they value it as part of a students personal statement they value it as part of the interview process in which a student may or may not then be offered a place at that university and they also recognise that the skills learnt by students whilst undertaking the Welsh baccalaureate are exactly the skills that those students need to make a successful transition from Alevel work to universitytype work which if you can imagine is very much based on individual research and being able to guide your own learning So I just do not recognise that in some way Welsh students are being disadvantaged The message I get consistently from universities is that there are significant advantages to Welsh learners taking this qualification
Hefin David AM: You can not recognise it but that is contrary to the evidence that we have received I am not saying that the evidence is conclusive but it actually demonstrates inconsistency So would you go so far as to accept instead then that there is an inconsistency in the way that universities use the Welsh bac as a tool for application ?
Kirsty Williams AM: You would know better than anybody Hefin that universities are autonomous institutions and they set their own methods of entry into those institutions What I am telling you is that the evidence that I have received from universities is that whilst there is a variety of approaches to how they regard the qualification in terms of offers consistently absolutely across the board all universities tell me that the Welsh baccalaureate is a valuable qualification and does not disadvantage Welsh students
Hefin David AM: If the committee were to produce a report based on the evidence we have received that would be contrary to what you have just said So I think we would end up in a debate in which we are setting out different points of view So would you therefore commit to exploring that perspective ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Hefin I would argue that I have indeed explored that perspective because I have taken the trouble to find out firsthand—not via my officials but firsthand—from those institutions their views So this is not something that is hearsay I have undertaken to ascertain the views of those universities We have written to all vicechancellors—last year—with regard to the Welsh baccalaureate qualification Qualifications Wales has an individual whose specific job it is to ensure that universities across the United Kingdom understand the value of Welsh qualifications That will become increasingly important as we see a divergence between English and Welsh qualifications But I have to say that the evidence that I have from universities is that the Welsh baccalaureate whilst it may be used in different ways in terms of an offer the consistency from all universities is that it is a valuable qualification If you have heard differently from admissions tutors and from the universities officially rather than from somebody who has emailed in then I would be pleased to look at that evidence because it would be in stark contrast to what I am being told by universities
Lynne Neagle AM: Hefin is not referring to an email—
Hefin David AM: No I have said that
Lynne Neagle AM: —we did do a survey and we have also taken oral evidence
Hefin David AM: Yes and it is representing the evidence that we received
Kirsty Williams AM: And I am presenting you with the evidence that I have received
Hefin David AM: But it will be presented to you as a submission from this committee no doubt Let us look at some admissions offers instead then You do concede that there is inconsistency with how admissions offers are made with regard to the skills challenge certificate How would you suggest that that is addressed ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Hefin each individual institution and university the length and breadth of the UK have different ways in which they make offers to individuals What is absolutely clear to me and if the concern is around the type of institution— So for instance it is accepted as a thirdgrade offer in Bristol Edinburgh Exeter Lancaster Leeds Leicester Liverpool the London School of Economics—some of the highest performing universities and Russell Group universities It is accepted as a fourth qualification or amends the offer in places like Bath University and it is accepted in tariffpoint offers in places like Hull and the University of the West of England So there is a variety of ways in which universities use the qualification and that is their prerogative—that is their prerogative as institutions They will have different ways in which they recruit and how they offer places just like different universities will have different views on unconditional offers You know there is a difference in universities there is not there ? Some universities do not have unconditional offers at all other universities—
Hefin David AM: So what you are saying is that the problem is not connected to the Welsh bac it is connected with just the way that universities make offers and the Welsh bac has got nothing to do with it
Kirsty Williams AM: I am saying there is a variety Just like any other qualification there is a variety in how universities use qualifications for offers What I am saying to you is that in the conversations that I have had with Russell Group universities what they say is that there is certainly no detriment to any Welsh student undertaking this qualification They value the qualification They think it is useful It develops a set of skills that help students to make that transition into higher education And therefore I think it is a myth—I would go as far as to say that it is a myth—that Welsh students are disadvantaged in any way by taking this qualification Sorry Andrew
Andrew Clark: Could I just add to that response ? There are obviously differences in the way that universities treat the skills challenge certificate and the Welsh baccalaureate which is the prime focus of this The attitude of the universities has changed significantly since that was a graded qualification
Kirsty Williams AM: Yes that has made a difference
Andrew Clark: And even those who do not make it part of their offer consider it exceedingly valuable in the way that young people are prepared to go to university and therefore as part of their personal statement as part of their interview the activity that the young person has taken by means of the skills challenge certificate is definitely recognised even by those who do not actually make it part of their offer So we are still on a journey—that graded qualification has only been taught for a couple of years but the journey is taking us to the right place towards the right destination
Hefin David AM: So it is not just about variable admissions practices across universities it is to deal with the skills challenge certificate as well which needed changing in order to improve that
Andrew Clark: But that was changed in September 2015 When it was a yesno qualification I think they held it in less regard than they do now that it is a graded qualification
Kirsty Williams AM: And that is the conversation we had with some of our Russell Group universities
Andrew Clark: And that was an important shift three years ago
Hefin David AM: So last question then : are you absolutely confident that any concerns we are offering are nothing really to worry about ?
Kirsty Williams AM: We will need to continue to communicate to all audiences the importance of this and the value of this qualification But I am confident that the university sector in its wide variety of forms regards the Welsh baccalaureate qualification as a valuable endeavour for Welsh students to undertake and they certainly do not regard it as a detriment to students | No, Kirsty Williams still showed confidence in the value of the baccalaureate. Despite the committee members' provision of contradictory evidence, he emphasized the importance of the communication with universities. Kirsty Williams believed that the baccalaureate was a beneficial endeavour for students to undertake before their entrance to the universities, rather than a detriment. |

deer: I haven't seen too many hawks lately around this area. So that's good for you.
bird: There's something I've always wondered about deer, maybe you could help me out
deer: Ask away sparrow
bird: Every winter, when I fly around the forest, it seems like lots of you have their antlers fall off! That seems like an awful bother, why do you do that?
deer: ah yes! It isn't as much work as you think. We just don't need them all the time so they get weak and fall off!
bird: I see! I was always a bit worried. I guess to you it's no worse than if I have a feather fall out now and then

craftsman: My plans are quite ambitious. I've decided the ship will be big enough to house the whole village!
economist: How interesting.. and what is the plan for this ship? I read that wood is becoming more pricey, perhaps the jester may be better equipped to handle this folly
craftsman: Perhaps that is why the king called you. To discuss raising taxes on the entire village to fund this ship!
economist: Ahh it all starts to make sense. Whilst raising taxes may seem like the obvious path, I'm not sure the peasants will agree. I hope he can afford the extra guards needed to quell the unrest. What are your thoughts on this plan?
craftsman: As long as I get to build my ship, I couldn't care less. Who am I to question the king's judgement?
economist: You are a simple man I suppose. Concerned only for yourself whilst ignoring the bigger picture. I envy you in a way
craftsman: As long as I get paid, that's all that matters. And the king has promised me a very healthy sum for completing this ship!

soldier: Oh, no. Whatever will I do about that.

soldier: Decent hit, but you're no less pathetic for it. Attempting so hopelessly to prove your valor to a man who will only ever value that valor as proof you will die for nothing.
invader: Fool! Like you don't serve the Emperor! Scum like you burned our villages to the ground and left us for dead! The Khan took us in when your Emperor would not! Who is the fool here?!
soldier: Perhaps if I served the Emporer with my passion and not my pocketbook I would be a fool, but as it stands I am aware of my standing and my place in the empire, and I am well-payed. Whereas YOU are only well-played.
invader: OOOH Look at you! You steal stuff and mock people! You're such a noble soldier of the Empire, aren't you? Soooooo noble!

#Person1#: You're a big fan of Andy Lau, aren't you?
#Person2#: Yes, I've been got all his albums and most of his films on dvd. I adore him. He's my idol.
#Person1#: How come you don't have all of his films on dvd?
#Person2#: Some of his early films are hard to find nowadays, especially the ones where he only played a bit part.
#Person1#: I see. I'm sure you'll find them one day. I see you also have several poster of him.
#Person2#: Yes. These posters are new. I bought them last week and put them up on my bedroom walls yesterday.
#Person1#: Are you a member of his fan club?
#Person2#: I was, but then I discovered you can find out everything for free on the internet, so I'm not a member now.
#Person1#: Did you see the interview with Andy Lau in cosmopolitan magazine last month?
#Person2#: Of course! I bought two copies.
#Person1#: Two copies? One to keep and one to cut the pictures out of, right? | #Person2# is a big fan of Andy Lau and shares with #Person1# how much #Person2# likes Andy Lau. |
#Person1#: Excuse me, you look familiar. Did you use to live in New York?

#Person1#: Yes. And he used to play the piano with a jazz group at the university.

#Person1#: Yes, he's a millionaire in Houston now.
#Person2#: A millionaire? As a jazz musician?

#Person1#: What do you think about all the different diets people go on?
#Person2#: I don't think dieting is good for you. It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with!
#Person1#: But what do you think about people who are obese? What should they do to lose weight?
#Person2#: They need to eat healthy foods, but they also have to increase the amount of exercise they do every day. They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether, though.
#Person1#: So you think it's ok for people who are dieting to eat chocolate?
#Person2#: Sure, they can eat some chocolate. As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods, there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert.
#Person1#: How about drinking soda?
#Person2#: Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda. Soda should be a treat ; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever. If you want to lose weight and you can't stop drinking soda, try some diet coke.
#Person1#: That's good advice. Have you ever tried taking vitamins?
#Person2#: My mother used to make me take vitamins every day, but I don't take them anymore. Vitamins are good as a supplement, but they don't do much good if you don't have a well-balanced diet to start.
#Person1#: How do you know so much about food and dieting?
#Person2#: You might not believe this, but I used to be twice the size than I am now! | #Person2# tells #Person1# that it's much better to eat a balanced diet. Obese people need to eat healthy food and do more exercise, and they don't have to cut out fattening foods. Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda. Vitamins are good as a supplement. |

#Person1#: Are you OK?
#Person2#: I'm fine. I'm just so touched by the sad story.
#Person1#: So I can say now that you must have enjoyed the opera. Which scene is your favorite?
#Person2#: I love them all. But if I had to name one as the best, I would say it's the ending.
#Person1#: What's it about? You know, I couldn't help falling asleep.
#Person2#: Did you? I didn't notice that. But still you should know it, for you have seen it with Laura before.
#Person1#: I guess I've done the same thing last time I was here with her, too. I mean falling asleep. For me, this one is not that attractive.
#Person2#: Then I doubt if you like operas at all.
#Person1#: Yes. I like Carmen very much. But I don't mind if you want to tell me about this one.
#Person2#: OK, then. The man was old and he was visiting his wife's grave, with a rose in his hand. When he got there, he saw someone already put a rose on her grave.
#Person1#: Very impressive. And I do like the leading actress who has an amazing voice.
#Person2#: Me, too. There was always a good round of applause every time she sings.
#Person1#: Yes, the applause! That was what kept waking me up during the show.
#Person2#: And it's been such a faultless performance with the perfect lighting, and music. Just amazing!
#Person1#: No doubt, it's not a simple thing to put on a'phantom show'.

Remember. | Tom says he and #Person2# will be working in London staying indoors. #Person2# points out that Tom'd be able to go out because he's a journalist while #Person2# is the one who has to teach in the classroom. |

#Person1#: Would it cost a lot more?
#Person2#: It could be as little as 2 dollars or as much as 10 dollars more per square yard.
#Person1#: I was also wondering if it would be possible to pick a different paint color.
#Person2#: Bring me a paint sample to look at, and I will consider it.

#Person1#: OK, Ann, you spent quite a bit of time in Australia recently so why don't you talk about that?
#Person2#: I really liked living in Australia. I was an international student and I studied education at the university of Sydney. And living in Sydney was fantasticbecuase I could go to the beach anytime I wanted and there was a great nightlife in Sydney. There are lots of great clubs. And people were very, very friendly and easy-going and I met a lot of international people in living Sydney.
#Person1#: Mm-hm. How long were you there?
#Person2#: I was there for almost a year.
#Person1#: Oh, OK.
#Person2#: And I travelled a little bit in Australia. I went up the east coast. Up to Frasier Island. Which is a world heritage site. And I saw dingos running along the beach and sharks in the water. We climbed cliffs and went through a rain forest and went camping and then we went up to the. . . , which is a but north. And the further north you go in Australia, the hotter it gets. So we were able to go swimming in the ocean and I went diving for the first time but it was a little bit risky cause I didn't have a diving license, so I went on an introductory dive and I saw a giant clam that had a really purple spongy inside that I was able to touch and then the clam closed up really quickly.
#Person1#: So, did you, did you lose your finger?
#Person2#: Almost.
#Person1#: Almost. Ah, you're lucky. Um, it's funny, you go in the water and you worry about sharks, but not clams.
#Person2#: Exactly.
#Person1#: Will you be going back to Australia soon?
#Person2#: I'd like to go and live there for at least another year. Probably I'll go back to Sydney or maybe I'll go down to Melbourne because it's a really interesting cultural city. They have lot of museums and parks. | Ann tells #Person1# that she stayed in Sydney for a year and she traveled to many places in Australia and experienced a lot, like climbing cliffs, going camping, going diving, and so on.

#Person1#: Hi, there! Did you have any questions about our bikes?
#Person2#: Yeah. Do you work on bicycles in addition to selling them?
#Person1#: Oh, yes, we can handle any repairs you may need.
#Person2#: That's great, but what I need is not exactly a repair. My cousin gave me a road bike, but I'm not tall enough to ride it. Can you put smaller wheels on it?
#Person1#: We could do that, but I wouldn't recommend it, because you would have to use your legs more to go the same distance. You'd be better off buying a bike that's the right size for you.
#Person2#: I was afraid you'd say that. You see, my cousin's bike is a very expensive model. It's a really nice bike.
#Person1#: Have you considered trading the bike in? We do buy and sell used bikes, and I can give you a fair price for any trade-in.
#Person2#: Really? That would be great! How much can you give me for the bike?
#Person1#: If it's in good shape, probably at least 50% of its original value.
#Person2#: Terrific! If you're here tomorrow, I'll bring it in then.
#Person1#: OK. | #Person1# can help #Person2# who wants to put smaller wheels on the bike given by #Person2#'s cousin, but #Person1# recommends #Person2# to sell this bike and buy a suitable one. |

#Person1#: But it is lucky for us. The company computers don't have software keeping tracks of websites we visit. I have shopped too often online these days.
#Person2#: Well, keep a low profile. | #Person1# and Francis talk about the time they spend online everyday doing personal things during working hours, and #Person1# thinks they are lucky. |
mayor: That's terrible! What crime did you commit?
the recently tortured: I didn't do anything. It was completely against my will. Where am I now? Why am I here?
mayor: You tell me. I was invited to attend the ball by the king. Who brought you here?

the recently tortured: Quite possibly. Otherwise I have no idea how I arrived in such a safe place. I am lucky.

traveler: "Thugs roam these streets at night, if you're in the wrong part of town."
child: Oh no! I didn't know. I'll go home as soon as I'm done talking to you. What brings you to the Ferry Terminal?
traveler: "I'm waiting on the last ferry out. Got to get across the river by the end of the night."
child: Why the end of the night? Where are you going next?
traveler: "I'm heading east! I've been sent to bring back spices."
child: Spices? That sounds fun! Can I go on your adventure with you?
traveler: "A very brave kid! Why should I bring you along? You'd be another mouth to feed, what could you do for us?"
child: See? I have a crystal ball. It can predict the future. That would be useful, right?
traveler: "... Well. Where did you get this? This would be very useful, indeed."
