PART 2:
You will hear part of a radio programme in which a woman called Amelia Unwin talks about
one of the most successful football clubs in the world. For Questions 9-8, complete the
sentences
 Trung tâm Luyện thi DMAX

Hi, and welcome to the programme in which we try to answer some of your questions about
sport. A number of you have written in to ask what makes Manchester United Britain's most
successful soccer club. Well, apart from the obvious answer -they've got lots of brilliant players -
there're a lot of other things that go on to promote the Club which make it possible for 'Man U' to
buy players for millions of pounds. And I mean millions, in the past they've paid 19 million
pounds for just one player. So how come it is such a wealthy club?
Well, one way for the Club to earn money is to sell merchandise. If you look in their catalogue,
you'll see you can buy anything from a pair of shorts to a woolly scarf. Some people think the
prices they charge for this merchandise are quite high and I expect many parents would agree. A
complete Manchester United strip costs almost 80 pounds - not cheap. But if you're selling this
merchandise all over the world through a number of official shops or outlets, you begin to get an
idea of the huge profits the Club can make.
Another big way to make money is to provide food and drink for fans at the football matches.
And not just the fans who, for the most part want chips, burgers and hot dogs. The Club also
offers entertainment on a grand scale for people who want to use the Club premises for their own
purposes. For example, a large business might reward its employees with a company dinner and
if. it's held at a famous football club that's far more exciting than an ordinary restaurant, even if
it is twice as expensive.
Then, of course, there's what's called the gate receipts - that's what the Club collects from the
people who pay for a ticket to get in to watch the team play at home at Old Trafford - the name
of Man U's football ground. The ground can hold up to 67,000 spectators and is usually sold out
for all first team games. Many fans have season tickets, which means they've paid in advance for
all the games in a particular period, but although an average ticket price is between 20 pounds
and 30 pounds Man U's tickets are not as expensive as those for many other clubs.
Another hugely profitable area is the money the Club makes from allowing its matches to be
filmed for television. There is an enormous demand for sports programmes from satellite
channels as well as the BBC and independent TV companies and the income from this is
increasing year by year. And if you think of all the football competitions and international
championships, in addition to the regular matches, you can imagine how much money this
brings the Club from all the programme rights.
Anything else? Well, yes there is - and that's sponsorship. If you look at the names of the
products, and they're all different, which are printed on the players' shirts or on the advertising
boards which are placed beside the pitch, that will give you an idea of what I mean . Any firm or
business will benefit from its name being associated with such a successful Club, and as well as
two main sponsors the Club has at least ten others.
By now you've probably got a pretty good idea as to why the Club is so wealthy. But where does
all this money go? You don't need me to tell you that some top players are seriously rich and so
the Club spends millions of pounds on its players,' wages. Then there are the buildings and the
ground to maintain, the cost of transport whenever the players travel either in the UK or abroad,
all the staff who look after the running of the Club, the list is endless.
Part 3:
A talk from a number of the Conservation Society about ‘green cleaning’.
Good morning everyone. It’s pleasure to be here as a representative of the Conservation Society,
to talk about “Green Cleaning”, in other words about ways you can help to save the environment
at the same time as saving money.
I’ll start with saving money – as we’re all interested in that, espeacially students who are living
on a tight budge. Probably , none of you has sat down and calculated how much you spend on
cleaning products each year- everything from dishwashing detergent, window cleaners and so on
through to shampoos and conditioners for your hair, and then those disasters- products to get
stains out of carpets, or to rescue burnt saucepans. I can see some nod of agreement, even if you
don’t spend a lot of time on housework you’d end up spending quite a lot of money over a period
 Trung tâm Luyện thi DMAX

of time, wouldn’t you? We can save money on products and also use products which are cheeap,
biogradeable and harmless to the environment- there I will call ‘green’ products. Unfortunately
most cleaning products on sale commercially are none of these, and many of our waterways and
oceans are polluted with bleach, dioxins, phosphates and artificial colourings and perfumes.
Also, think how many plastic bottles each household throws away over a year- they’ll still be
around in land-fill when you are grandparents. So we often feel there is nothing we can do to
make a differentc, but we can. The actual’recipe’ are on handouts you can take at the end of the
talk: The sorts of ingradients I’m referring to are things like bicarbonate of soda, cucalyptus oil,
ammonia, vinegar, lemons, pure soap. Lastly many people find they are allergic to morden
products, so for all you asthma sufferers keep listeing. Nothing in these recipes should causes
you any problems, an end to itching and wheezing.
So let’s start with spills and stains. Soda water is wonderful as an immediate stain remover: mop
up the excess spill don’t rub but apply soda water immediately- it’s great for tea coffee wine beer
and milk- as is salt or bicarbonate of soda, which will absorb the stain- then vacuum when dry
and shampoo if necessary.
While we are takl;ing about disasters lets quickly look at some others that can be avoided.
Bicarbonate of soda is wonderful for removing smell, espeacially in the fridge- an open box in
the fridge will eliminate smells for up to three months. And those terrible burnt saucepan? Either
sprinkle with our good friend bicarb again and leave it to stand, or cover with venegar and a
layer of cooking salt.
Bring it to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes, than wash them when cool. Much cheaper than a
new saucepan!. The there are heat rings on wooden furniture. Simply rub with a mixture of salt
and olive oil, or for scratched furniture use olive iol and vinegar.
Now let’s look at general cleaning – first the floors. If your floor covering is made of slate, cork
or ceramic tiles or lino it probaly only needs a mop or a scrub with vinegar in a bucket of water.
Carpets can be shampooed using a combination of pure soap, washing soda, clouy ammonia and
some boiling water. You put a small amount of this mixture onto the mark on the carpet, rub
with a cloth until it lathers and then wipe off the excess. A smelly carpet can be deodorized by
sprinkling bicadbonate of soda on the surface, leaving overnight and vacuuming off the next day.
Cleaning in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet is the next section…
