【正文】 rences. M: Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, I’m prepared to give you an extra two weeks for this one. So, that will mean you need to submit it about a month from now. 8 W: Oh thank you. M: Now what about the reading materials? So you check out the journal articles in the list? W: Oh, no, not yet. There were about twenty of them I wasn’t sure which ones should be most useful or all important. M: Well they’re all useful, but I don’t expect anyone to read them all because a number of them deal with the same issues. And let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth reading. W: Right. I’ll read that one. M: You should also read the article by Jackson but just look at the part at the research methodology how they did it. W: Ok, Jackson, I got that. M: And if you have time the one by Roberts says very a lot of things although it’s not essential. W: Ok. If it’s useful I’ll try with that one. M: Now the one by Morris. I wouldn’t borrow with that at this stage if I were you. W: Ok, I won’t borrow with Morris. Oh now, someone told me that the article by Cooper is important. M: Oh yes, but just look at the last part where it discusses the research result. 9 W: And last there’s Forster. I can’t think why I included that one. That’s not bad and could be some help but not that much. M: Now let’s deal with the assignment question. What’s the problem there? W: It’s graph from page 2. M: It seems to be the problem is just about the bar graph showing reasons why peoples change where they live. W: Well I’ve got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing. M: Ok. Look at the first bar on the graph. Now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space. W: Oh, I see. Bar one. Ok, now what’s about the next bar? M: Bar two is to do with the people who live nearby disturbing them so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now let’s look at bar . Another reason people change their places of living is because they want to be closer to the city. W: Ok. Proximity to the city is the issue. M: Now bar refers to problems when the owner of the property won’t help fix things go wrong. In other words, the owner is not helpful and so the tenants move out. W: Ok, now what about Bar 5. M: Bar 5 is about those people who move because they need a bus 10 or train to get among the city or to go to work. W: Ok, and Bar 6? M: Bar is midresting. That reason was given quite a lot. People move in because they wanted to be in a more attractive neighbourhood. W: Oh yes. Thank you very much. test1_section4 Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I39。re two major areas that I39。s a hot summer day in an Australian city or they can make it a bit more humid if it39。ll ask? Well, the main difference between a tree and a building is a tree has got an internal mechanism to keep the temperature regulated. It evaporates water through its leaves. And that means the temperature of the leaves is never very far from our own body temperature. The temperature of a building surface on a hot sunny day can easily be 20 degrees more than our temperature. Trees, on the other hand, remain cooler than buildings because they sweat. This means they can humidify the air and cool it, a property which can be exploited to improve the local climate. Trees can also help break the force of the winds. The reason that high buildings may keep windier at ground level is that as the wind goes higher and higher, it goes faster and faster. When the wind hits the building, it has to go somewhere. Some of it goes over the top and some goes around the sides of the building, forcing those high level winds down to ground level. That doesn39。t there. Although trees can significantly improve the local climate, they do, however, take up a lot of space. There39。s not a great deal you can do if you have what we call a street canyon, a whole set of highrises enclosed in the narrow street. Trees need water to grow. They also need some sunlight to grow and you need room to put them. If you have the chance of knocking buildings down and replacing them, then suddenly you can start looking at different ways to design the streets and to introduce...(End) test2_section1 W: Oh, Peter, there you39。s been ages. What catches so long? M: Sorry, I39。t matter. I had a coffee and I had been reading this guidebook for tourists. Sit down. 13 M: Umm. W: You look very hot and tired. What would you like to drink? M: I39。ll. The waitress will be back in a moment. Why are you so late. Did something happen? M: Yes. You know I went to the bank to cash something traveller39。t do any transactions. They said the problem would
