  • Hello everyone, this is Andrew at Crown Academy of English.

  • Today we are doing a lesson... a listening lesson and the subject is "Danger in prison". So let's start!

  • So the plan for the lesson is.. we are going to start with some vocabulary. I will define two words for you which are important.

  • And then I will give you the questions that I would like you to answer so that you can see them before the listening.

  • And then you will listen to the article and the subject is of course "Danger in prison."

  • And then finally, I will give you the answers to those questions

  • and you will also listen to the article one last time and I will give you the transcript on the screen. Alright?

  • So let's start with the vocabulary.

  • The first word is "assault". Now this means an attack on somebody.

  • Ok? So here, for example, we could say that Mark is angry with John and he's going to ASSAULT him.

  • Alright so it's an attack. Often an attack in the street, for example. Okay

  • So this is assault. So it is either a noun or a verb. Here we are using it as a verb.

  • Ok, so that is the first word.

  • And the second word (or words) is "shadow minister"

  • Now this is a political expression and it means a Minister from the opposition party in Parliament.

  • So it is a person. It is a person. A member of Parliament.

  • And the opposition party is the party which is NOT in power. So it is the party which is opposed to the government.

  • And currently, in the British Parliament, the opposition party is the Labour Party.

  • So the Labour Party is opposed to the current government.

  • So let's have an example. Now this is a photograph of the British Parliament in London.

  • So we could say that the Education Minister in the Labour party is Mary Creagh.

  • She is the SHADOW education minister. Alright? She is the shadow education minister.

  • Now let's look at the questions. Question one: How many assaults were there in London prisons in 2007?

  • Question two: Who is Mister Khan?

  • Question three: Why does Mister Khan believe the problem is even bigger?

  • Question four: Why doesn't Frances Crook agree with the government's explanation?

  • And the last question, question five: Is this statement true or false?

  • "There were less prison officers in 2012 compared to 2010?"

  • So I want you... the question is: Is this sentence, this statement.... is that true or is it false?

  • Ok, so those are the five questions that I would like you to answer.

  • Now I am going to play you the article. So you are now going to listen to the article. So get ready. I'm going to play it for you..... NOW!

  • Okay, so that is the end of the article. Alright?

  • If you need more time to answer the questions,

  • if you would like to listen again, then simply click here on the screen and you will go back and listen a second time.

  • Or, if you have finished, if you do not need any more time, then simply just wait 10 seconds and I will show you the answers. Okay?

  • Ok so we will now carry on and I will show you the answers.

  • So question one. I asked you how many assaults were there in London prisons in 2007?

  • Well the answer is: One thousand four hundred and sixty three.

  • Question two: Who is Mister Khan?

  • Well, he is the Shadow Justice Minister.

  • Question three: Why does Mister Khan believe the problem is even bigger?

  • Because some of the assaults are never reported.

  • Question four: Why doesn't Frances Crook agree with the government's explanation?

  • Because the number of prisoners only grew by six percent.

  • Alright, so if you remember in the article, the government's explanation was that the number of prisoners has increased.

  • But Frances Crook does not agree because she thinks that the increase was very small. It was only six percent.

  • And question five: "There were less prison officers in 2012 compared to 2010." Is that true or false?

  • And it's true because there were three thousand and fifty seven in 2012 compared to three thousand two hundred and fifty in 2010.

  • Okay, so that is a decrease. There are less. So it is true.

  • Right so I am now going to play you the article one last time with the transcript on the screen so that you can read it at the same time.

  • So are you ready? I'm going to play it..... NOW!

  • So that is the end of the article.

  • I hope that helped seeing it on the screen with the transcript. I hope that helped you follow... follow it. Alright?

  • So that is the end of the lesson.

  • If you would like to subscribe, then you can click here on the screen.

  • Here is my twitter account for those of you who would like to follow me on twitter.

  • And here are two other lessons which you might be interested in.

  • This one on the left is a grammar lesson and this one is another listening lesson, similar to this one.
