Mini-Talk One
Good morning and welcome to the University of Westlands. My name is Marcia Mayhew and I’m the coordinator of the Bachelor of Science degree. This morning I’d like to tell you about the structure of the university and about some of the requirements of the degree that you’re about to enter.The Bachelor of Social Science is in one faculty within the university; that is the faculty where I work, known as Arts and Social Sciences. Here on this campus we also have the faculties of Architecture, Law and Science and Technology among others.
It’s important to know something about the structure of the faculty because, as you go through your course, you may need to call on members of the staff to help you.
At the top of the faculty we have a dean and below the dean we have three divisions; each division has a divisional head and your degree is located in the Division of Social Sciences. Within each of the divisions, there are the departments and each of these offers the different degrees. For instance, two of the departments which offer the major subjects for your award are Sociology and Psychology. Each has a departmental head but for practical purposes, the people you are going to see the most are myself as coordinator of the social sciences degree and the actual lecturers who are teaching the subjects that you are taking. For instance, in the first semester you’ll be doing four subjects: psychology, sociology, history and economics.
If you have any problems or difficulties, not that I’m anticipating you will, but you never know, then you should go and see your lecturers. For instance, you may find that you can’t meet a deadline for an essay or perhaps you’re having problems with attendance. These seem to be the two most common problems that students face.
10. Within which faculty does the speaker work?
11. What are the subjects offered in the first semester
in this course?
12. What is one of the problems the students may
have?
Mini-Talk Two
On February 26, 1993, a giant explosion shook the World Trade Center. One minute later, smoke began to fill the stairways, halls, and offices. All power and emergency systems were knocked out. There were no lights, no elevators, and no electricity. Over fifty thousand people were working in the building at the time.
It was 12:18 on a typical work day. People were making business calls, writing reports, or attending business meetings. Many were on their lunch break and were eating in one of the building’s cafeterias. Also, thousands of people were visiting the building. Some were standing on the observation floor; others were eating lunch at Windows of the World, an expensive restaurant on the top floor.
The bomb exploded in the basement area. One woman was getting out of her car in the parking garage; it blew off her shoes. A man was waiting for the train; it blew off his hat. A secretary was typing at her desk. She fell through the floor sitting in her chair.
In the building, people were not sure what to do. Smoke was coming up the stairs and into the offices. Was the building on fire? Should they stay in their offices? Should they start to walk down the stairs?
Most people decided to walk. There were no lights on the stairs and people were falling and tripping. Everyone was coughing because of the heavy smoke. But most people were calm. Some people counted steps, some people sang. Over sixty thousand workers and visitors walked down the stairs that day, some from the 80th, 90th, and 100th floors. For people on the top floors, the walk down took two and more hours. As people left the building, emergency workers were waiting with oxygen, warm drinks, and blankets.
Some people said they would never go back into the building. They said, “I just can’t go back up there. Not now, not ever.” But others were ready to go back to work again soon. They s aid, “It happened. It’s over.”
13. When did the explosion occur?
14. When did the bomb explode?
15. How did most people inside the building get out? Section C
All of us have had the feeling of happiness, but what is happiness exactly? Why are some people happier than others? How can you be happy? Well,
recently psychologists have been studying these questions. Today I will try to answer some of these questions about happiness. First I’ll talk about a common myth about happiness and money. Then I’ll tell you some important qualities in the personality of happy people.
First, let’s talk about a common myth about money and happiness. How many of you believe that if you have a lot of money, you’ll be happy? Well, there is common myth that if people have a lot of money, they will be happy. But actually, this isn’t true. One psychologist, Dr. David Myers, talked to hundreds of people. He asked these people questions about happiness.
First, he found that if people are very poor, it is difficult for them to be happy. When people are very poor, they often don’t have enough food to eat or a house to live in. They have to work hard, and they worry a lot about the future. So, when people are very poor, it is difficult for them to be happy.
So, in some way, in some sense, money and happiness do go together.
However, Dr. Myers also found that when he talked to middle-class and wealthy people, the wealthy people were no happier than the middle-class people. Look at picture one. In other words, people who have big houses, expensive cars, and fancy clothing are not really happier than people with small houses, simple cars, and regular clothing. Dr. Myers found that some wealthy people were happy, and some wealthy people were not happy, just like middle-class people. So this tells us that happy people don’t need a lot of money—happiness doesn’t depend on money. There are other, more important things that make people happy.
We can see from Dr. Myers’s study that happiness doesn’t depend on how much money you h ave. But what does make people happy? Well, Dr. Myers found that happiness depend a lot on a person’s personality—how a person thinks and feels. Whether you have a lot of money or not, if you have the right kind of personality, you can be happy. Dr. Myers found three qualities in the personality of happy people.
The first quality is that happy people like themselves.Look at Picture two. Happy people like being the kind of person they are: They don’t want to be taller, or thinner, or smarter. On the other hand, unhappy people often want to change. For example, some movie stars are very wealthy, beautiful, and popular, but they are still unhappy. They are unhappy because they always want to change: they want to be
younger, or more beautiful, or more popular. However, happy people are different—they like themselves just the way they are now.
The second quality is that happy people are positive thinkers—they think about the good things in life, not the bad things. We all have problems in our lives. However, happy people think more about the good things, not about the problems. When bad things happen, a happy person feels that life will get better. On the other hand, unhappy people think a lot of their problems, and they become sadder and more unhappy. For them, life is often one big problem. Happy people have the same problems, but they are positive thinkers.
The third quality is that happy people are outgoing and friendly. Look at Picture three. Happy people like to be around other people, and they like to make new friends. Because happy people are friendly and outgoing, everyone wants to be their friend! This means that happy people have many friends to help them enjoy the good times in their lives, and they also have many friends to help them solve their problems during difficult times. Happy people also get better jobs because companies want to have friendly, outgoing people working for them. So being outgoing and friendly helps happy people in many ways.
In conclusion, I think that Dr. Myers has a lot of important information for us about happiness. If you want to be happier, remember that a lot of money will not always make you happier. Instead, try to like yourself as you are, be a positive thinker, and be outgoing and friendly.
