2、re more than 12 people. Oh right. Ill keep that in mind. And what are the times normally? We try to keep it pretty fixed so that the students get to know the pattern. We leave at . and return at 6 . We figure its best to keep the day fairly short. Oh yes and then how do we reserve a place? You sign

Thank you very much for all your help. Youre welcome. I hope youll enjoy the trips. test1_section2Good afternoon everybo
10、dy and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit, Im just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I wont keep you long. OK?Now from where were standing youve got a good view of the river over there. And it was becau
11、se of this fast flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early
12、 time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wells were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bank near the river. By the seventeenth and eigh
13、teenth centuries, the regions rivers supported more than 160 water mills and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside a
14、nd into the towns. So industrial villages like this one became very rare.So thats the history for you. If youd like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guidebook.Now Im going to give you a plan of the site and Id just like to point out where
15、everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. Ive already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course running along the bottom is Woodside Road. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the entrance. See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the ticket off
16、ice. You wont need that because youve got your group booking, but just pass it are the toilets, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the car park as you can see. And to the left by the entry gate is the gift shop that is where you can get copies of the guide like this one here. Now
17、 beyond the car park, all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle. The big stone building at the top is the main workshop. Thats where the firm is and where all the metal was melted and tools were cut as you will be able to see. Now in the top right hand corner, that bu
18、ilding with bigger windows is the show room where samples of all the tools that were made through the ages were on display. In the top left corner is the grinding shop where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of that you can see the engine room and on the other is the caf, which
19、isnt too antique you would be pleased to know though they do serve very nice old fashion teas. The lower buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the works towards the end of the eighteenth century and they are still furnished from that period so you can get a good id
20、ea of ordinary people living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the Stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display. Right. If any one wants a guide
21、d tour, then I am starting at the engine room. If youd like to, come along this way please, ladies and gentlemen. test1_section3 Excuse me, Dr. Johnson. May I speak to you for a minute? Sure. Come in. Im Melanie Griffin. Im taking your course in population studies. Right, so, well, Melanie, how can
22、I help you? Im having a bit trouble with the second assignment and its due in 12 days. Whats the sort of trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a problem? Well, thats part of the problem. Im also having been having trouble getting hold of the books. Ive been to the library several times
23、and all the books were out. It sounds like you should start borrowing the books a bit earlier. Well I have really a big assignment due for another course and I have been spending all my time on that and I thought And you might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me? If thats possi
24、ble. But I dont know Well. Yes its possible. But extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons. Otherwise, thats really a question of organizing your study and we dont like giving an extension to a student who simply didnt plan the work properly. What did you get for your f
25、irst assignment? I got 87 percent. Umm. Yes, you did very well indeed. So obviously you can produce good work. I dont think I need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some important references. Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, Im prepared to give you an extra two w
26、eeks for this one. So, that will mean you need to submit it about a month from now. Oh thank you. Now what about the reading materials? So you check out the journal articles in the list? Oh, no, not yet. There were about twenty of them I wasnt sure which ones should be most useful or all important.
27、Well theyre all useful, but I dont 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. Right. Ill read that one. You should also read the article by Jackson but just look
28、at the part at the research methodology how they did it. Ok, Jackson, I got that. And if you have time the one by Roberts says very a lot of things although its not essential. Ok. If its useful Ill try with that one. Now the one by Morris. I wouldnt borrow with that at this stage if I were you. Ok,
29、I wont borrow with Morris. Oh now, someone told me that the article by Cooper is important. Oh yes, but just look at the last part where it discusses the research result. And last theres Forster. I cant think why I included that one. Thats not bad and could be some help but not that much. Now lets d
30、eal with the assignment question. Whats the problem there? Its graph from page 2. It seems to be the problem is just about the bar graph showing reasons why peoples change where they live. Well Ive got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing. Ok. Look at the first bar on the graph. Now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space
