Marketing: and as part of this The important aspects that came out were things that we have already discussed really The most important by far was the look and feel of it It needs to be something that is very different from everything else out there It needs to stand out It needs to be not functional like the rest of the things out there at the moment Most people find remote controls boring at the moment we need to have something that looks interesting that looks exciting that will stand out People will want to buy it That was twice as i important as the next item on here which is that it has to be technologically innovative has to have something else apart from just the look of it People have to then think about it and say got something there that I want That is a really cool feature and it has to make them want to buy it again Third on the list and again innovative was twice as important as this last aspect it has to be easy to use So they have to be able to be able to look at it and have some intuitive idea of how to use it Drawing on the fashion trends at the moment fruit and vegetables This is basically talking about just the the feel of it so probably not the smell of it but the bright colours eyecatching really bold designs and a spongy feel I had a talk to the design people about this but having a remote that is tactile that feels different that would be really cool That would make it stand out
Industrial Designer: So can you repeat and be more precise about what you just said ?
Marketing: ma make it not necessar sp spongy is the current thing Spongy is the current texture but basically there are no reports no remotes at the moment which are spongy or tactile at all so if we make it like maybe furry or soft or something that will be something that sets it apart rather than just bare plastic which they all are at the moment So as far as the design goes the very most important aspect was the design to the customers So going with the fruit and vegetable idea we have got the bright colours so makes it stand out the oranges and the the bright yellows and the florescent colours part of the fruit and vegetables Going back to the idea of taking inspiration from mobile phones they have all got those a lot of them have the changeable covers so they can choose what colour the outside is That is one way of looking at it Textured feel we just talked about Maybe it is another way of doing that So if it is part of the the changeable covers then may maybe they can choose a different texture a spongy one or a soft one or something like that So they can choose it li as they want to to maybe to fit in with their decor in their living room or just what they like their sports team or whatever
Industrial Designer: that is a very good idea
Marketing: and still taking the inspiration from the mobile phone design so functionality the way the mobile phones work the way the keypad looks Also just the way that a lot of industrial design is going into mobile phones at the moment They are big selling items People put a lot of thought into that so we can leverage off that and we can start using some of their ideas back to technological in in innovation not quite as important but still a big issue we talked about having a way of finding a remote control if it is been lost that is one thing we could look at There are other aspects like LCD screens and speech recognition which were not I do not think in my personal opinion going to be worth the extra expense and the extra effort that will go into them I think we are better doing something basic like this which is very important and very will be a really cool feature to put in And use I had no real specific ideas for this maybe we just the basic idea of having your core functions big and at the top maybe by themselves
Project Manager: maybe Matthew can can give some more information on the
Marketing: and then th th the finer details of buttons you do not use as much either hidden away or completely separate Yep and that is the presentation
Project Manager: good that is very clear
Marketing: So does anyone have any comments or ideas on that ? I think you
Project Manager: Maybe we yes well we maybe can decide later on the l the the look and feel of I have it was a good idea maybe to to
Industrial Designer: To let the people choose you mean ?
Project Manager: Yes the the the there are changeable covers but on the other hand I I do not know whether my superiors would be so glad with it because you have to introduce a complete new l line of of supplies it would be very complicated organisational
Marketing: Well we are selling so many units of this This is going to be a mass marketed product we can afford to have two or three different designs at least | The marketing recommended bringing some elements of fruit and vegetables, bright colors, some eye-catching and bold design, and a spongy feel into the product. Inspired from cell phones, the marketing also proposed a changeable cover which could be customized by the user. Besides, the marketing disapproved of having LCD screens and speech recognition because he didn't think it would be worth extra expense and effort. |
king: Just last night I had to authorize another culling of Turtle-folk. They have been eating travelers on pilgrimage in recent months.
worshipper: How unfortunate, surely god would not judge you for protecting your people though?
king: Well, here's the thing - because of the orcish blockade, the small folk are starving. Turtle-folk stew can ward off starvation for the poor. So it is both a noble act, and a terrible one at the same time.
worshipper: I see, but at the same time they have been attacking...
king: Fair enough - but I never even bothered to negotiate, just sent the Dragonriders in to roast their villages. Saved more of my people's lives at the cost of theirs.
worshipper: Heavy is the head that wears the crown it seems, tough choices are a plenty.
king: Indeed. So what brings you here citizen, now that I have burdened you with my troubles?
worshipper: It is no burden at all my king, I have simply come to worship. It is my purpose for being.

man: Yes! I appreciate a God with a sense of humor!
gods: What can I do for you, my child?
man: I can't stop drinking. Every night I go to the pub. I need guidance to stop.
gods: Have you considered cheap white cider?
man: What will that do?
gods: Save you lots of money.
man: But I need to stop drinking not save money. My liver will give out soon.
gods: Ah. Well my child, I could send you a new liver but I feel it would be irresponsible of me. Would it help if I ordered you to stop drinking?
man: No, I think it would be nice to have a second liver in case my first one gives out. That way I can still drink!
gods: You could split the first one in two?
man: That would be a question for you, not me.

bat queen: You must swear...
bat: I swear.
bat queen: I have heard word from a scout that the Human King means to clear out our bat room... He wants to use it as a second dressing room for his wife. I am lost as to a solution.
bat: Certainly there must be something we can do.
bat queen: I have been racking my brain, but I cannot think of one...
bat: Are our numbers not enough to fend them off?
bat queen: No... I have thought of a solution, perhaps, but... It may be deadly for us. It may be successful at the same time.
bat: What have you been pondering? Poison perhaps?
bat queen: Essentially. If we were to find a rabid dog and drink of its blood, the humans may fear becoming rabid themselves, and abandon the whole affair. What do you think?
bat: Well it could work, I do certainly see the reason for your concern though. Such a disease could as easily spread its way through our ranks.
bat queen: Many would be sick... Is it worth keeping our home?

#Person1#: Matthew? Hi!
#Person2#: Steve! Haven't seen you in ages! How long's it been?
#Person1#: it's got to be almost a year now.
#Person2#: how have you been?
#Person1#: I'm pretty good. I've been looking for a place to live recently. My lease runs out next month and I don't want to renew it.
#Person2#: yeah, I remember the neighborhood. Have you found a place yet?
#Person1#: not yet. I am still looking through the classifieds. Wish me luck.
#Person2#: well, maybe I can help. Remember my neighbor?
#Person1#: Mrs. Thou?
#Person2#: yes, her daughter's having a baby, so she's moving in with her to help out. I think if you are interested, you can come over and have a look.
#Person1#: great. It's a lovely neighborhood. And it would be nice to be neighbors again. It would be just like the old days!
#Person2#: I'll ask Mrs. Thou when she's available to show the apartment and let you know. Has your number changed? | Steve has been looking for a place to live. Matthew indicates that his neighbor could be possibly available soon and Steve can go to have a look. |
#Person1#: Do you eat a lot of healthy food?
#Person2#: Compared with healthy food, unhealthy food just tastes so much better. And anyway, I believe if you live a low stress Life and are active, you can get away with eating whatever you like. It's all in the mind.
#Person1#: You have the point. I think cancer is caused by more worry than by the things we consume. Some good things you should try are cranberry juice, wild rice and yoghurt.
#Person2#: What's special about these things?
#Person1#: Cranberry juice is very good for destroying harmful bacteria in your guts because it's very acidic. Wild rice is high in fibre so it's good for your guts and it's high in protein and minerals-I think it's also tastier than normal rice. Yoghurt's good because it's also rich in protein, vitamins and is also acidic. People have been making yoghurt for thousands of years and if you have it every day, your guts will be much more settled.
#Person2#: Thanks. I'm going to follow your advice and pop down to the supermarket right now. | #Person1# and #Person2# both think cancer is caused by more worry than food. #Person1#suggests eating cranberry juice, wild rice and yoghurt because they have rich proteins. #Person2# will try them. |
#Person1#: So, here we are. Deep in the forest. With me is doctor Mike Green. Doctor Green can you tell us a little about this wonderful place?
#Person2#: Yes, of course, as you can see, the forest is full of trees, birds and insects.

#Person2#: Well, in just one square kilometer of the forest, you can find about 1500 different kinds of plants, and many of those 1500 kinds of plants don't grow in any other place in the world.
#Person1#: And there are hundreds of trees too, aren't there?
#Person2#: Yes, there are. In fact, there are about 750 different kinds of trees in one square kilometer.
#Person1#: Really? Now, I'm sure the people listening to this program are interested in the living things in the forest.
#Person2#: Well, the forest is full of living things. For example, you can find about 400 different kinds of birds in just one square kilometer.
#Person1#: Really? How interesting! | #Person1#'s hosting the program and invites Doctor Green to introduce the forest which has 1500 kinds of plants, 750 kinds of trees, and 400 kinds of birds in about one square kilometer. |
#Person1#: Your garden looks beautiful this summer, the flowers are really colorful.
#Person2#: Thank you. I have roses, tulips and daffodils. Do you like the rockery with the small flowers?
#Person1#: Yes, I do. Those are violets are they?
#Person2#: Yes, they are. This afternoon I'm going to water these flowers.

#Person1#: Yeah. Just pull on this strip. Then peel off the back.
#Person2#: You might make a few enemies this way.
#Person1#: If they don't think this is fun, they're not meant to be our friends.
#Person2#: You mean your friends. I think it's cruel.

Project Manager: welcome back after lunch I hope you had a good lunch together For this meeting the main agenda to discuss about the conceptual design meeting and the agenda will be the opening and that is the product manager or secretary that is me and the presentations from the Christine and Agnes and from Mister Ed And finally in this meeting we have to decide and we are to take a decision on the remote control concept and the functional design So we have forty minutes I think it is little bit low but I I hope we can finish it up so I will handle to the the functional team to the Christine to discuss about the components concept
Industrial Designer: So if you could open the PowerPoint presentation
Project Manager: You are number two Kay
Industrial Designer: Components design there we go So can we put it in slide show mode ? Right here is that little that one yes please I will take the mouse So we were looking he specifically at the components the following components the case the power supply the means of communications with the television set In instance we had talked about using some sort of speech recognition you have to have microphone well no you do not actually I have not have to have microphone in the device but maybe you do have it a a way it has to it has to hear the speaker and so it could be in the television set could be in the device but somewhere you have to put the microphone and a w a way of making beeps or sounds so you can find it when it is gets lost so the other w thing that we So Our method for going about this is we have looked at the histo hi historical record what is worked what has not and then we also we wanted to evaluate some new materials and we contacted manufacturing for their input because course we m might come up and choose the material that then manufacturing did not have the technologies or capabilities to offer us so this is the approach that we took during our our research So for the case we told we were making a specifica specific assumption that it would be curved in design Course you know I wanted it to be expandable and shrinkable but that does not seem to b be one of the choic nonoption we can we can really seriously explore so then we were thinking about rubber but unfortunately that is been eliminated because of the heat factor and th there might be some problems with the m how it is goes with the board and then th plastic also has this problem of melting and it is brittle it gets brittle after a while so we still had titanium and and wood available but unfortunately titaniums also been eliminated the m people in manufacturing said that you could not make d curved cases out of titanium although how Apple did it with th PowerBook I am not su quite sure but nevertheless they have eliminated all of our options except wood
User Interface: At least it is environmentally friendly
Industrial Designer: So this is our finding And a as she said it is an environmentally friendly material so we are we are currently proposing we will get to all my personal preferences in just a second So then there is this other matter of the chips and well we could use a simple design on the board these simple chips but that is only works for the bu you do not get very much intelligence with this simple one And then there was the regular which I regret that I have forgotten exactly why I am eliminating that one the other option was this advanced chip on print and we liked th we we found that it it includes this infrared sender which w member the beam was that was an important component of finding the right chip And manufacturing has told us that they have recently developed a a sensor and a speaker that would be integrated into this advanced chip on print so we we now jumping right to our personal preferences I I would really think we should you know use some of some really exotic woods like you know well you guys come from tropical countries so you can kind of think of some trees and some nice woods I think that people will might really want to design their own cases you see they could do sort of a this threedimensional design on the internet and then they could submit their orders kind of like you submit a custom car order you know and you can choose the colour and the size of the wheels and the colours of the leather and things like that and then I think we should go with the solar cells as well as the microphone and speaker on the advanced chip So this is the findings of our research and my recommendations for the new remote control w would be to have have it be made out of wood Do you have any problems with that ?
Project Manager: Can you go back one slide ?
Industrial Designer: I am not sure how do I Oh I know let us see Let us go back up here
Project Manager: Yes question what is mean exactly advanced chip on print ? What is the meaning of that ?
Industrial Designer: I think it is a multiple chip design and it is maybe printed on to the circuit board I could find out more about that before the next fi next meeting
Project Manager: is it means it is on the is it on a microproc microprocessor based or
Industrial Designer: I do not know but I will find out more at our next meeting
Project Manager: tha that would be great so if you find out from the technology background so that would be good
User Interface: Why was the plastic eliminated as a possible material ?
Industrial Designer: Because it gets brittle cracks We want we expect these these remote controls to be around for several hundred years So Good ex Good expression
Marketing: good expression Well after us
Industrial Designer: I do not know speak for yourself I am planning to be around for a while
User Interface: I think with wood though you would run into the same types of problems would not you I mean it chips it if you drop it it is I am not su
Project Manager: So so you are not convinced about the the wood yes
Marketing: Actually I am ready to sell it
User Interface: I think if you re if you use really good quality wood then it might work
Marketing: I am ready to sell it
Industrial Designer: You think ? And you could you could sell oils with it to take care of it
User Interface: but you can not just use
Marketing: No y no no no the o the only w the only wood you can use are the ones that are hard extremely hard wood but there are some very pretty woods out there
Industrial Designer: Well I am glad you
Marketing: That is actually very innovative idea
Industrial Designer: Sorr having a hard time keeping wi control over my face
Marketing: Well it is actually a very innovative n different idea that you know you can choose your colour of wood your type of wood I mean it is each person is going to have their own personalised individualised speech recognition remote control in wood that is not on the market
Project Manager: so it it is looks good the the design the functional design what about yo you ?
User Interface: in terms of comments on this or in terms of my own
Project Manager: Yes in t yes in term in terms of comments first
Industrial Designer: She works in the cubicle next to me so she is she was already a little bit prepared for this
User Interface: I think we can get the quality materials then it should not influence the design principles too much which you will see with my presentation One thing we would have to check though is what the users whether how quickly the novelty wears off of having
Industrial Designer: Mmhmm you would not want to have to have splinters in your hand while you are using your
User Interface: for example So have to see how kidfriendly it is and and all that
Industrial Designer: It is really good if your dog gets ahold of it they can use it for teething
Marketing: They do that anyway with the rubber and plastic
Industrial Designer: they do it with other materials as well
Marketing: so and chew them up And chew them up
Project Manager: then let us move to Agnes | The group came to an agreement regarding a wooden case with rubber buttons and also determined on using the advanced chip on print which could integrate a sensor and a speaker. They also decided to install a microphone in the device so that the remote control could make sounds when it got lost. The group discussed over cost-efficiency of a display, whose adoption still remained to be decided. |
animal: hello there

#Person1#: What's the difference between football and rugby?
#Person2#: Those tow games are quite different. First, there's the size of the teams. In football, a team has 11 players. In rugby there are 15 players on each team. The biggest difference is that in football, only the goalkeeper can use his hands. In rugby, the ball is usually carried forward by players, though kicking is permitted.
#Person1#: In rugby, players pass the ball by throwing it to team mates, don't they?
#Person2#: That's right. However, players can only pass the ball backwards. They cannot pass the ball forwards to their team mates. That's a foul.
#Person1#: I know how goals are scored in football, but how about in rugby?
#Person2#: If a team carries the ball over the goal line, they score points. A team can also score points by kicking the ball between two tall posts at each end of the pitch.
#Person1#: There's a lot more physical contact in rugby, isn't there?

#Person1#: Hello, I would like to make an appointment to look at houses.
#Person2#: Sure, would you prefer looking in the morning or afternoon?
#Person1#: I would prefer mornings.
#Person2#: Can you go during the week, or can you only go during the weekend?
#Person1#: Going to look at houses during the week is best for me.
#Person2#: Where would you like me to pick you up?
#Person1#: I will meet you at the real estate office.
#Person2#: I am thinking of looking at three houses, and it will take about two hours.
#Person1#: That sounds good to me.
#Person2#: Once I contact the owners and confirm the times, I will e-mail you a schedule. | #Person1# makes an appointment with #Person2# for house viewing. #Person2# confirms the time and place with #Person1#. |
#Person1#: So, how should we get to the theatre?
#Person2#: Let's take the bus.
#Person1#: I hate the bus system in London! The bus drivers are rude, the buses are never on time, and there are few people around who can help you.
#Person2#: It's not that bad. You probably just had a bad experience once.
#Person1#: It wasn't just once. Every single time I take the bus, something bad happens to me or to someone else on the bus.
#Person2#: We could take the subway, but we'd have to go three stops along one line and then change trains twice.
#Person1#: Train fares are twice as expensive as the bus fare, too.
#Person2#: If we don't hurry up, we'll miss the show. Should we take the bus?
#Person1#: We're already late, so I think we had better take a taxi.
#Person2#: I don't think we'll be able to find a taxi very easily during hush hours. Let's just take the bus.
#Person1#: Fine. Have a look at the timetable to find out when the next one arrives.
#Person2#: It looks like it should be here in just a few minutes. don't worry. Nothing bad will happen. I'll even buy your ticket for you.

#Person2#: Oh, nothing.
#Person1#: What were you writing?
#Person2#: ( Laugh ) All right. You caught me in the act. I finally worked up the nerve to ask Diana out. I was just writing a note to put on her desk.
#Person1#: You mean you're going to ask her out in a note? You big chicken!
#Person2#: I admit it. I'm a wuss. I just can't do it in person.
#Person1#: But, you work with her everyday.
#Person2#: That's different. When I'm working, I'm in a different frame of mind. But, when I even think about asking her out, I get tongue-tied. At least in a note, I can get the words out without turning beet red.
#Person1#: You've dated a lot. What's so different about Diana?
#Person2#: Well, for one thing, she's gorgeous. She's so upbeat and sweet. Who doesn't like her? Oh, I don't know. All I do know is that I think we have great chemistry together. But, what if I'm wrong. Maybe she's just been nice to me out of courtesy and doesn't think of me that way. Oh. . . forget it. This was a bad idea.
#Person1#: Well, I guess you don't want this note, then.
#Person2#: What note?
#Person1#: I was looking for you to deliver this note from Diana. She wants to know if you want to go to the office party with her tomorrow night.
#Person2#: You're kidding! I can't believe you've been standing this entire time and didn't say anything.
#Person1#: Sorry. What can I say? Now, do you want the note or what?

#Person1#: Have a great time tomorrow night.

Sian Gwenllian AM: But again the Welsh Government— You have continued to publish the local and regional level data So does not that contradict what you have been telling the consortia and everyone else ?
Kirsty Williams AM: No not at all As I said we are not in the business of trying to hide data—I believe absolutely in full transparency And in terms of level 2 data I think I am not moving away from the point that I think it is really important that more and more children get five really good GCSEs I think it is important for their life chances It is about how that data is used not about hiding data or making that data not available
Steve Davies: Can I very briefly— ? We did not just send a letter out collectively We have now carried out training jointly with WLGA and Estyn on how to use that data So it is not just looking where your LA is it is also not looking at whether your schools better than average for the authority And it is well received and it should broaden the approach of scrutiny committees to beyond what historically was if I am honest looking at the league table for their authority or looking at the league table of local authorities It is not that they should not be looking at that but they need to dig much much deeper underneath it | According to Kirsty, there was no contradiction at all. They were not in the business of trying to hide the data because it was absolutely in full transparency.

Suzy: I love it! Fantastic design! so sleek! Why can't we have more of those?!
Dana: I haven't analysed all the pictures but I haven't seen a single tree there... oO
Brad: I am not a parent so correct me if I'm wrong but why do kindergartens need to have trees exactly?
Dana: The don't have to have them and it's not about the supermodern design but people need something other than just plastic, concrete and wooden panels, even the little people ;)
Suzy: Parents will have more time to take kids to see trees if they don't have to commute from the other side of town to pick up their kids...
Dana: I'm talking about its design and not their distance from someone's workplace though...
Brad: but it is about the proximity to someone's workplace though! I honestly couldn't care less if there are trees there or nor, from a business standpoint I think it's a great solution and I wish there were more places like this one! | Brad send Suzy and Dana a picture of new kindergarten.

#Person1#: What characteristics should an interpreter own?
#Person2#: I think he should be an expert of everything.
#Person1#: Why is that?
#Person2#: Because English is nothing but a tool which is used when people may negotiate in international conferences, probe into physics, release some information in a press conferrence , and do anything we can do with language. Therefore, an interpreter has to know some expertise in the field he/she serves as an interpreter. Otherwise he/she can not carry out his/her work smoothly. | #Person2# thinks an interpreter should be an expert of everything and explains #Person2#'s reasons. |

#Person2#: So David finally came back?
#Person1#: That's right. Lillian had been waiting for 6 months. Every morning she would put fresh flowers in the vase by the window.

#Person1#: Hello, Professor Johnson.
#Person2#: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
#Person1#: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me-one I participate in.
#Person2#: What sport did you choose?
#Person1#: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.
#Person2#: What are you going to say about skiing?
#Person1#: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.
#Person2#: So why is that a problem?
#Person1#: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy. But that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.
#Person2#: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?
#Person1#: Yeah, I guess so ... | Tony and Professor Johnson are talking about writing on cross-country skiing. Tony wants to write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country and leave out how much effort it takes to keep going, but Professor Johnson suggests he keep it. |
