13、fternoon everybody 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.

14、 And it was because ofthis fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availabilityof 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 fr

15、om a very early time. Q11 Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were firstestablished in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge Q12just behind the village here, on the bend in the river. By th

16、e seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the regions rivers supported more than a hundred and water mills -and many of these continued to operate well into Q13the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away fr

17、om the rivers and the countryside and 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 guide book. Now Im going to give you a plan of the si

18、te and Id just like to point out where 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 Q14Woodside Road, got it? OK. Now were standing at the entrance, see it at the bottom, and

19、 immediately to our right is the Ticket Office. You wont need that because youve got your group booking, Q15 but just past it are the toilets -always good 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. Thats where you ca

20、n get copies of the guide, Q16like this one here. Now, 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. Q17Thats where the furnace is and where all the metal was smelted and the tools were cast, as

21、 youll be able to see.Now, in the top right-hand corner, that building with bigger windows is the Showroom, Q18where samples of all the tools that were made through the ages are on display. In the top left corner is the Grinding Shop, where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of t

22、hat you can see the Engine Room and on the other is the Cafe, which isnt an antique, youll be pleased to know, Q19though they do serve very nice old-fashioned teas. The row of buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the workers Q20towards the end of the eighteenth ce

23、ntury and theyre still furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary peoples 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-sti

24、ll has some of the old accounts on display. Right, if anyone wants a guided tour then Im starting at the Engine Room. If youd like to come along, this way please, ladies and gentlemen. SECTION 4-1-3 MELANIE: Excuse me, Dr Johnson. May I speak to you for a minute? DR JOHNSON: Sure. Come in. MELANIE:

25、Im Melanie Griffin. Im taking your course in Population Studies. DR JOHNSON: Right. Well, Melanie, how can I help you? MELANIE: Im. . . having a bit of trouble with the second assignment, and its due in twelve days. DR JOHNSON: What sort of trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a proble

26、m? MELANIE: Well, thats part of the problem. Im also having -been having -trouble getting hold of the books. Ive been to the library several times, and all the books are out. DR JOHNSON: Sounds like you should have started borrowing books a bit earlier. MELANIE: Well, I had a really big assignment d

27、ue in for another course, and Ive been spending Q21 all my time on that, and I thought. - - DR JOHNSON: . . . you might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me? MELANIE: If thats possible, but I dont know. DR JOHNSON: Well, yes, it is possible, but extensions are normally given onl

28、y for medical or Q22 compassionate reasons, otherwise its really a question of organising your study, and we dont like giving extensions to students who simply didnt plan their work properly. What did you get for your first assignment? MELANIE: I got eighty-seven per cent. DR JOHNSON: Mmm, yes, you

29、did very well indeed, so obviously you can produce good work. MELANIE: I dont think Ill need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some of the important references. DR JOHNSON: Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, Im prepared to give you an extra two weeks for this one,

30、so thatll mean youll need to submit it about a month from now. MELANIE: Thank you. DR JOHNSON: Now, what about the reading materials? Have you checked out the journal articles in the list? MELANIE: Umm, no, not yet, there were about twenty of them, and I wasnt sure which ones would be most useful or

31、 important. DR JOHNSON: Well, theyre all useful, but I dont expect anyone to read them all, because a number of them deal with the same issues. Let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth reading. MELANIE: Right, Ill read that one. DR JOHNSON: You should also read the article by Jackson, but just look at the part on the research methodology -how they did it. Q23 MELANIE: OK. . . Jackson, got that. DR JOHNSON: And if you have time, the one by Roberts says very relevant things, although its not essential. MELANIE: So, OK, if its useful,
