Julie:My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College.
Eugene:My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at Somerville College.
Julie:Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are
many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the
year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.
Eugene:Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more
liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also
some specific traditions.
Julie:F ormal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the
professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit
on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together.
It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and
we eat by candlelight.
Eugene:I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating
society where speakers come from all around the world to address the
students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students,
making it a very interesting forum.
Julie:My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets
up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which
sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town
and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it‘s very nice.
Eugene:The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in
May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to
improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way
up the river.
Julie:W hen the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so
they wear a gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, and
the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt
and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which
has a Latin name – sub fusc – and they must wear this uniform in order to
take their examinations.
Eugene:I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For
example, sub fusc. This is the uniform that we are required according to the
university rules, to wear.
Julie:They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are
carnations. And they wear different colours, the students wear different
coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first
exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you
wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red
carnation.
Eugene:So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst
wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable. Julie:I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University.

Voiceover:We were lucky to be invited into the kitchen at the Dooky Chase's
Restaurant. Leah has been working in the restaurant for over 50 years. She
told us about her life and she explained how to make a simple dish called
"shrimp Clemenceau".
Leah:This is a very simple dish. First you get some shrimp. You can do this dish with chicken or shrimp, but I like it with the shrimp better. So you just brown
a little thing ...
Interviewer:And, and what's, what's the actual, what's the cooking in?
Leah:Butter.
Interviewer:OK.
Leah:It just cook, so here you get a little cholesterol, but hey, that's it, a little cholesterol. Then you wanna get the garlic. So you see it works two forces.
You get the cholesterol, and then you get a little garlic, cut out on the
cholesterol, you see.
Interviewer:OK. And where did you, where did you learn all the cooking?
Leah:Well, my mother, you know. I'm the top of the line of 11 children, so you get to learn how to cook whether you like it or not. You get to cook that way.
Then here you want to add a little mushroom in here, this is just sliced
button mushroom. If you like other mushroom, you can do that, we just
sauté that in there. You know, at home, when you, you have to cook,
everybody had that turn in the kitchen. So this is a dish that is used in
several restaurants, but this is my own version. Some people do it different
than this, but I like it this way, because I like the ... Can you smell the garlic
in there?
Interviewer:Oh, yeah.
Leah:Alright?
Interviewer:That smell is very strong.
Leah:Uha, and then you want to add your peas. It's very, very simple. Interviewer:And did you, did your mum run the restaurant as well?
Leah:No, no, my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law had this restaurant before I
came in. And she started it in 41. I came in in 46. So, and I added many
things. You have to understand in 41. Now here we can add our potatoes.
You see our shrimp is all cooked there. Just add the potato. You can
pre-cook your potatoes. You can boil them, or in this case, we, we blanch
them a little bit. In that and just toss together, and you get one, you get just
one casserole like here. And you can put a little pepper on it. Give it a good
dash of pepper. A little salt. It's very simple, but it's a good dish. And as I
said, you can do it with chicken breast or shrimp. You see? Toss it and get
it there.
Interviewer:And what do you, what do you call the dish?
parsleyLeah:  A shrimp Clemenceau. And I, I really don't know how it got that name, but it's popular in this area. But as I said, some people do it a little different.
You can take wine at this point. You can hit a little wine in there if you like it,
but I, I just don't like to kill the taste of the butter and the garlic. I like that a
lot. And you can take the parsley, always parsley.
Interviewer:That's parsley, isn't it?
Leah:Parsley. Uhm. And I'm gonna show you something that all Creoles keep in their kitchen. You see you get kind of a like a dull look here. But every
Creole has this paprika in their kitchen. And give it all a dash of paprika.
And you get a little color there, you see? A little red color there. And it's
very, very simple, great dish to eat. Not hard to make. You see? And you
have a good dish.

Teacher:Good morning, class.
Students:Good morning.
Teacher:What we're going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind mapping. Now have any of you heard about mind maps before? Students:Yes ... No ...
Teacher:Yes. Some of you have, some of you haven't. OK. Have any of you actually
used mind maps in the past?
Students: No ...
Teacher:N o? OK. Who can tell me what a mind map is?
Student 1:It’s a way of thinking.
Teacher:It is a way of thinking. Mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize or structure our ideas related to a topic. What I'd
like to do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind
maps. What are some of the reasons for using mind maps?
Student 2:To make a list?
Teacher:To make a list? Yes. We could say to brainstorm ideas. Everyone
contributes their ideas as many ideas as quickly as possible, from everyone
in a shorter time, er, as, as we can manage. OK, brainstorming is one of the
most important um, um, uses of mind maps. What might be another use or
another reason for using mind maps?
Student 3:It can help me take notes in the class.
Teacher:OK, for the note-taking, a very good reason. Mind maps help us to get an overview or a, a quick understanding about a subject. By using mind maps
to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, a very
general understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily
and um, quickly. What are some other uses of mind maps?
Student 4:Preparing for exams?
Teacher:OK. Preparing for exams. That's a, a very good reason. We might call this, er, revision. Before an exam, after having studied for many, many days or
even weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general
understanding about the subject. Are there any other uses that you can think
of for mind mapping?
Student 5:W e can also use it for finding answers.
Teacher:For finding answers. That's, that's a very good, good answer. We could call
