Inside view
Conversation 1
Andy: I love Chinese, but is the food around here typical?
Janet: Well, it depends (on) what you mean by typical. This is mostly Cantonese food from the south, except for the roast duck, which is from Beijing. But it’s different from the food where I come from, in the northeast.
Andy: And which is better?
Janet: Er, well, in my opinion, I think…Oh, look, here he comes. Hi, Tony.
Tony: Hi, Li Hui, Ni hao.
孙辉 爱上你好姑娘Janet: Ni hao. Tony, this is Andy, my colleague.
Tony: Hi.
Janet: We were wondering if we could ask you some questions about life in Chinatown.
Andy: I don’t know if Janet’s told you, but we are doing a series of reviews on ethnic restaurants here in London for London Time Off.张敬轩 关智斌
Tony: OK, I see.
Andy: And the thing is, everyone eats Chinese and Indian food, but we want to put a bit of background and history on the website. Are you up for this?
Tony: OK, fire away.
Andy: What I suggest is, if you’ve got time, we will do some filming around here, and then we will put the research together back at the studio…Janet, are you ready with the sound this time?
Janet: OK.
Andy: Just remember to keep the needle out of the red zone. And don’t forget to stop us if there’s too much background noise.
Janet: OK, thanks.
Andy: Tony, you work here in Chinatown. Do you live here as well?
Tony: No, in fact, very few Chinese actually live in Chinatown.
Andy: And in comparison with Chinatown in, say, San Francisco or Sydney, is it larger or smaller?
Tony: I would say it’s much smaller. Really, it’s only three or four streets.
Andy: And the business here, is it mostly restaurant trade?
Tony: Yes, as well as the supermarkets, which stock produce from China.
Conversation2
Andy: So where do you call home?
Tony: Like lots of people, my grandparents came from Hong Kong in the 1950’s. But     
I’m a British-born Chinese so I guess this is home now.
Andy: So how long has here been a Chinese community in London?
Tony: For 200 years. When the Chinese first came to London, they arrived as sailors so they lived in the East End by the Docks.
Andy: And how did they make their living?
Tony: Restaurants mostly, but they were also famous for running laundries.
Andy: And why did Chinatown move over here?
Tony: At the start of the 20th century some of them move to the West End, which is the entertainment district to open Chinese restaurants. And gradually, the Chinese from all over the London met friends and did business here.
Andy: And does it still feel like a traditional Chinese community?
Tony: Oh, sure. You saw the Chinese gateway and we celebrate Chinese New Year    along with the Chinese all over the world.
Andy: Thanks.
Tony: You are welcome.
Andy: How is it going, Janet?
Janet: It’s fine, that’s about three minutes of material.
Andy: OK. Let’s wind it up, then. Tony, thank you very much, that was really interesting. Very grateful.
Tony: No problem. Now, are you hungry? How about some dimsum and crispy roast duck?
Janet: Sounds great! I’m starving. Thanks.
Tony: Don’t mention it. Let’s go back to my restaurant.
Andy: Sure, I’m starving too! All this talk about food! Thanks, Tony!张馨予 霍建华
Tony: You’re welcome!
Outside view
Part 1
Presenter: We’re taking a walk along this peaceful, quiet beach. Just the place to relax. But out there, at other beaches around the world, that’s another story. Let’s take a look. These sea lions fight to defend their territory. During the mating season, these elephant seals show aggression to establish dominance. People fight to defend their territory. In some situations, we’re used to it. We even expect it. When you’re on a crowded street, or trying to get into a crowded bus, other people are going to start shoving. It’s not always pleasant, but it’s not surprising when it happens. But what about here, on this lovely beach? There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably, enjoy the sun, and look at t
he ocean.Let’s say you’re sitting on the beach, it’s not too crowded, and someone comes up and put their stuff right in front of you. What would you do?
Speaker 1: I’d be very angry and go over to them and tell them to move.
新说唱选手反驳都美竹Speaker 2: Maybe throw a little sand in their face and make them to move, I don’t know.
Speaker 3: If someone came and sat down in front of me on the beach, I would probably move my towel next to them and start a conversation.”
Presenter: Now that’s take Jack out to the street. This is South beach in Miami. Getting a parking place in this neighbourhood can be really difficult. That’s because there’re too many cars and not enough space. And when space is limited, people can get a lot more aggressive. Our producer is parked here in this very desirable parking spot. She’s going to wait until someone wants her parking space. There’s a lot of traffic, so she won’t have to wait too long. Yes! There’s someone now.
