Listening to Cambridge 18 test 2 part 2
Hello everyone.
It's good to see that so many members of the public have shown up for our presentation
on the new housing development planned on the outskirts of Nunston.
I'm Mark Reynolds and I'm Communications Manager at the development.
I'll start by giving you a brief overview of our plans for the development.
So one thing I'm sure you'll want to know is why we've selected this particular site for a housing development.
At present it's being used for farming,
like much of the land around Nunston.
But because of the new industrial centre in Nunston,
there's a lot of demand for housing for employees in the region,
as many employees are having to commute long distances at present.
Of course, there's also the fact that we have an international airport just 20 minutes' drive away,
but although that's certainly convenient,
it wasn't one of our major criteria for choosing the site.
We were more interested in the fact that there's an excellent hospital just 15 kilometres away,
and a large secondary school even closer than that.
One drawback to the site is that it's on quite a steep slope,
but we've taken account of that in our planning
so it shouldn't be a major problem.
We've had a lot of positive feedback about the plans.
People like the wide variety of accommodation types and prices,
and the fact that it's only a short drive to get out into the countryside from the development.
We were particularly pleased that so many people liked the designs for the layout of the development,
with the majority of people saying it generally made a good impression
and blended in well with the natural features of the landscape,
with provision made for protecting trees and wildlife on the site.
Some people have mentioned that they'd like to see more facilities for cyclists,
and we'll look at that,
but the overall feedback has been that the design and facilities of the development
make it seem a place where people of all ages can live together happily.
OK. So I'll put a map of the proposed development up on the screen.
You'll see it's bounded on the south side by the main road,
which then goes on to Nunston.
Another boundary is formed by London Road, on the western side of the development.
Inside the development, there'll be about 400 houses and 3 apartment blocks.
There'll also be a school for children up to 11 years old.
If you look at the South Entrance at the bottom of the map,
there's a road from there that goes right up through the development.
The school will be on that road, at the corner of the second turning to the left.
A large sports centre is planned with facilities for indoor and outdoor activities.
This will be on the western side of the development,
just below the road that branches off from London Road.
There'll be a clinic where residents can go if they have any health problems.
Can you see the lake towards the top of the map?
The clinic will be just below this, to the right of a street of houses.
There'll also be a community centre for people of all ages.
On the northeast side of the development,
there'll be a row of specially designed houses specifically for residents over 65.
And the community centre will be adjoining this.
We haven't forgotten about shopping.
There'll be a supermarket between the two entrances to the development.
We're planning to leave the three large trees near London Road,
and it'll be just to the south of these.
It's planned to have a playground for younger children.
If you look at the road that goes up from the South Entrance,
you'll see it curves round to the left at the top,
and the playground will be in that curve, with nice views of the lake.
OK, so now...

1) What colour would you choose to paint the walls of your room?
I would rather choose blue for my bedroom as it is believed to guarantee the best night's sleep by reducing heart pressure and heart rate. However, I would balance it with warm hues for furnishings and fabrics.
1) چه رنگی را برای رنگ آمیزی دیوارهای اتاق خود انتخاب می کنید؟
من ترجیح می دهم آبی را برای اتاق خوابم انتخاب کنم زیرا اعتقاد بر این است که با کاهش فشار قلب و ضربان قلب بهترین خواب شبانه را تضمین می کند. با این حال، من آن را با رنگ های گرم برای مبلمان و پارچه ها متعادل می کنم.

2) What colour would you never use in your home?
I would advise against too much black as it will make me feel on the low side or even depressed.
Similarly, I would try to avoid red because I will never have deep sleep or possibly have trouble falling asleep as it is not an easy bedroom colour to relax.
2) هرگز از چه رنگی در خانه خود استفاده نمی کنید؟
توصیه میکنم از رنگ مشکی بیش از حد خودداری کنید، زیرا باعث میشود من احساس ضعف یا حتی افسردگی کنم.
به همین ترتیب، سعی میکنم از رنگ قرمز اجتناب کنم، زیرا هرگز خواب عمیقی نخواهم داشت یا احتمالاً در به خواب رفتن مشکلی ندارم، زیرا رنگ اتاق خواب راحت نیست.

3) Can you describe the place where you live?
I guess if I buy one more piece of furniture, there won't be enough room to swing a cat in my flat.
There's a wardrobe with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling mirrored sliding doors.
Were it not for this wardrobe, my room would have got bogged down by clutter.
Regrettably, this wardrobe has become a clutter hotspot itself, but all the disarray is inside so nobody sees it.
There is also a wall-mounted flat-screen TV and a bed.
3) می توانید محل زندگی خود را توضیح دهید؟
حدس میزنم اگر یک اثاثیه بیشتر بخرم، فضای کافی برای تاب دادن گربه در آپارتمانم وجود نخواهد داشت.
کمد لباسی با درهای کشویی آینه ای دیوار به دیوار و کف تا سقف وجود دارد.
اگر این کمد لباس نبود، اتاق من در شلوغی به هم ریخته می شد.
متأسفانه، این کمد لباس به خودی خود تبدیل به یک کانون شلوغی شده است، اما همه بی نظمی ها در داخل است بنابراین هیچ کس آن را نمی بیند.
همچنین یک تلویزیون صفحه تخت دیواری و یک تخت وجود دارد.
