N = Narrator I = Interviewer S = Simon

N: You are going to listen to an interview about social networking. Listen and answer the questions.

I: And that’s the latest news today. Next we’re going to be speaking to our technology editor, Simon Smith. He’ll be telling us all about the latest report in social networking that has been collated from over a million participants around the world. Good afternoon, Simon.

S: Good afternoon, Carol.

I: So, this report…

S: Yes, it’s the biggest report like this I think we’ve ever seen, and it certainly raises some questions for social media sites. And indeed for us, the people that use them.

I: I hear that it’s tapped into the motivations we have for using social media. What can you tell us about this?

S: It has. There were over 50 different groups surveyed and there were some interesting discoveries. For example, senior citizens, who you would think use social networks like Facebook to make friends and avoid being lonely, actually used them to do things like look at articles and watch videos. This group of people actually spends the most time on the internet too, which is in stark contrast to the situation ten years ago when a lot of older people weren’t even online. The research also found that young people tend to use social networks for reasons relating to social acceptance – simply they want to stay ‘in’ with their friends. This group tends to switch sites a lot, so Facebook might be popular for a short amount of time, but they’ll move on to other sites like Instagram or Twitter pretty swiftly. Loyalty isn’t a big feature of this group. If we look at mothers however, we can see a completely different story. Their loyalty is actually pretty high, and they tend to form close bonds with people in their online community. People that they haven’t actually met. This is not simply to allay the isolation of staying at home with a small child, which is what we might suppose. Actually, it’s to find out whether they are doing the right thing when it comes to caring for their young children or indeed their teens. These sites can be extremely supportive tools. Lastly, let’s look at another group which showed surprising motivations for using social networks, people who are not in relationships. This group of people, again, you may think are quite lonely, but statistics show they post more and go out more than any other group. In fact, often their motivation is to get back in touch with people they’ve met. Perhaps from school or just from their busy social lives.

I: That’s very interesting and not at all what I would have thought. How do you think this information will affect social networking sites at the moment? Do you think we’ll see some changes?
S: Yes, I think so. I’ve been looking at some of the most popular sites at the moment, SoPals, EverywhereUs and Sweet. They all have their advantages and disadvantages but I can see all three of them going in different directions in the future. Let’s talk about SoPals firstly, as it’s probably one of the most well-known social networks around at the moment. And why is it so popular? Well, I think it’s pretty easy to use and also it’s seen a good uptake in lots of different countries. I think nearly every country in the world has access to it and there are millions of international users. However, the one thing many people are not at all happy about is the way in which SoPals quite brutally collects user data. There has been some talk in the press about who can access this data, and although the wider community might not be too bothered, there are some rights groups who are outraged. On the other hand, they also have quite a good strategy for going forwards. They are going to develop posts which are more temporary. So, say, they’ll stay on for an hour and are then archived. This is something which is increasingly popular for younger users, so it sounds like a good move to me. Now, moving onto EverywhereUs … This is more of a context-specific social networking website. One of its best points is that it’s geared towards close friends. This means that people are more likely to share more things. The app has been a great success. However, we can’t say the same for the web version, which has had some dreadful feedback. They need to work on this in my opinion, but I don’t think it will stop this site from getting bigger and bigger in the future. One final site that I do want to mention is Sweet. Now, this isn’t really a site for the likes of me and you, Carol. It’s actually a social network for teens. Now, the reason why this site is becoming so popular for this age group is that it supports so many different forms of media. So, you can post audios, pictures, videos, little voice messages, games. It’s really booming with this age range. It’s not all perfect though. I’ve got to say that the design is quite simplistic and childlike. Even for the age range. And also, there’s no app yet. They’ll want to get that developed if they want to be a big player in this market. And … they obviously do want to be a big player as they’re planning next year to branch out to other demographics, such as young parents and older people. I can see this being a really successful move if they get the design spot-on. One thing! will say though is that social networking doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. It looks to just grow and grow.

  Teenagers are a peculiar breed of humans. They are fickle and touchy, yet sensitive and caring. They are not longer children, but are not yet adults either. A once loving and obedient child can transform into a rebellious, sullen teen. What accounts for this change? The problem, claim some doctors, lie in the physical aspect of the person. A teenager’s hormones wreak havoc within their body. Noticeable physical changes about what the teen may feel uncomfortable occur. In trying to solve with these changes, the last thing the teen needs is parents invading his privacy or treating him like a child. Therefore, the problem is, in fact, accounted for by something deeper than mere physical changes. The teen is not only developing his body, he is also developing emotionally. For first time in his life, he may be painfully aware of the opposite sex. The teenager is also vulnerable with puppy love and crushes, the sure signs of growing up. He also becomes defensive and secretive about his own actions. Teenagers should be given a certain number of freedom to explore their emotions and authority. Parents need not be overly alarmed by their strange and unexplicable mood changes. After all, isn’t that all part of growing up?

PART III. Read the passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to each of the following questions. Write your answers in the boxes provided.

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation – that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

PART IV. Read the following passage and do the tasks below.

CLOG DANCING’S BIG STREET REVIVAL

  1. The streets of Newcastle, in the north-east of England, have begun to echo with a sound that has not been heard for about a century. A sharp, rhythmic knocking can be heard among the Saturday crowds in one of the city’s busiest intersections. It sounds a little like dozens of horses galloping along the street, but there are none in sight. In fact, it’s the noise of a hundred people dancing in wooden shoes, or clogs.

The shoppers are about to be ambushed by the UK’s biggest clog dance event. The hundred volunteers have been coached to perform a mass routine. For ten minutes, the dancers bring the city centre to a standstill. There are people clogging on oil drums and between the tables of pavement cafés. A screaming, five-man team cuts through the onlookers and begins leaping over swords that look highly dangerous. Then, as swiftly as they appeared, the cloggers melt back into the crowd, leaving the slightly stunned spectators to go about their business.

  1. This strange manifestation is the brainchild of conductor Charles Hazlewood, whose conversion to clog dancing came through an encounter with a folk band, The Unthanks. ‘Rachel and Becky Unthank came to develop some ideas in my studio,’ Hazlewood says. ‘Suddenly, they got up and began to mark out the rhythm with their feet – it was an extraordinary blur of shuffles, clicks and clacks that was an entirely new music for me. I thought, “Whatever this is, I want more of it”.”

Hazlewood was inspired to travel to Newcastle to make a television programme, Come Clog Dancing, in which he and a hundred other people learn to clog in a fortnight. Yet when he first went out recruiting, local people seemed unaware of their heritage. “We went out on to the streets, looking for volunteers, but nobody seemed to know anything about clog dancing; or if they did, they thought it originated in the Netherlands.”

  1. The roots of clog dancing go back several hundred years, and lie in traditional dances of the Dutch, Native Americans and African-Americans, in which the dancer strikes the ground with their heel or toes, to produce a rhythm that’s audible to everyone around. In England, clogging is believed to have first developed in the mid-19th century in the cotton mills of Lancashire, in the north-west, where workers created a dance that imitated the sound of the machinery. The style quickly spread and developed a number of regional variations. In Northumberland, it became a recreation for miners, who danced solo or to the accompaniment of a fiddle.

‘The Northumberland style is very distinct from Lancashire clogging,’ says Laura Connolly, a virtuoso dancer who worked with Hazlewood on the programme. ‘Northumbrian dancing is quite neat and precise with almost no upper-body movement, whereas the Lancastrian style is more flamboyant.’

  1. Whatever the region, clogging remains very much a minority pursuit. Yet at the turn of the 20th century, clogging was a fully-fledged youth craze. Two famous comic film actors, Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin, both began their careers as cloggers. But the dance almost completely died out with the passing of the industrial age. People danced in clogs because they were cheap, hardwearing and easily repaired,’ Connolly says. ‘Yet eventually clogs became associated with poverty and people were almost ashamed to wear them.’
  1. Fortunately, the key steps of the dances were preserved and handed down in a series of little blue books, often named after their inventors. ‘It means that we still know what Mrs. Willis’s Rag or Ivy Sands’s Hornpipe were like,’ Connolly says. ‘It’s my dream that one day there’ll be a little blue book called Laura Connolly’s Jig.’
  1. Her biggest challenge to date was to teach Hazlewood and 100 other beginners a routine sufficiently accomplished to perform on television, from scratch, in less than two weeks. ‘I started people off with something simple,’ she says. It’s a basic shuffle that most people can pick up. Once Hazlewood had absorbed the basics, Connolly encouraged him to develop a short solo featuring more complex steps – though he nearly came to grief attempting a tricky manoeuvre known as Charlie Chaplin Clicks, so named as it was the signature move of Chaplin’s film character the Little Tramp.

To be honest, I never quite got those right,’ Hazlewood says with a laugh. We came up with a slightly easier version, which Laura thought we should call Charlie Hazlewood Clicks. The thing about clogs is that they’re all surface: there’s no grip and they’re slightly curved so you stand in a slightly peculiar way. The potential to fall over is enormous.’

On the day, Hazlewood managed to pull off a decent solo, clicks and all. ‘I wasn’t convinced, until the moment I did it, that I was going to get it right,’ he admits. ‘But in the end, clog dancing is not so very different from conducting. Both require you to communicate a beat – only I had to learn how to express it with my feet, rather than my hands. But it’s a good feeling.’

  1. ‘People forget that clogging was originally a street dance,’ Connolly says. It was competitive, it was popular, and now young people are beginning to rediscover it for themselves. As soon as we finished in Newcastle, I had kids coming up to me saying, “Clog dancing’s cool – I want to do that!”
