In that year, we added a women’s tournament too – the Homeless World Cup continues to grow. V1 Is that the idea?

You will hear the interview twice. *V1 Hello and welcome to “You are what you eat”, our weekly diet programme. Today we are going to discuss the benefits of an unusual fruit – the pomegranate. Expert Faiza Moss is with us in the studio to tell us more. V2 Thank you. I noticed that you called the pomegranate an “unusual” fruit; actually it has been around since ancient times and is now grown all over the world. V1 Where were pomegranates first grown, Faiza? V2 Originally they were grown in the area which is now modern day Iran and Iraq. Then they were carried along the silk route by traders as far as China – in fact there are still thriving pomegranate orchards in Xian, the old Chinese capital. V1 Did the popularity of pomegranates stop there? V2 No, they were then grown all around the Mediterranean, further East and eventually in all sunny climates. Recently, Afghanistan has held a pomegranate celebration: it exported 50,000 tons of the fruit in 2008, rising to 80,000 tons in 2009 and that quantity is still increasing. V1 You can buy the juice from the new Kabul factory in shops all around the world now, you know. V2 Yes, that 6-million-pound factory opened in October 2009. It was designed specifically to produce pomegranate juice – and very successfully too! V1 This interest in pomegranates must be good news for the farmers. V2 Yes it is. Did you know that when their fruits were first exported farmers received 34 pence per kg but now they are earning over £1 per kg? V1 Why is that? Is it because consumers are now more aware of the health benefits of drinking the juice? V2 Yes, in the UK alone the market for pomegranate juice has increased to £21 million each year. The juice is lovely but expensive – look out for special offers! V1 I know. I do. I’ve even tried extracting my own juice but it’s not easy because of all the pomegranate seeds. V2 That’s why farmers are trying to develop a seedless variety of pomegranate because of the demand for seedless fruit to make juice from; it is thought that fruit without seeds will become very popular with consumers worldwide. V1 Pomegranates are prized for their wonderful health-giving properties, aren’t they? The juice is meant to help prevent heart disease isn’t it? V2 Yes, scientists have found that pomegranate juice is high in antioxidants which protect the body from bad chemicals in the blood. It is thought that pomegranate juice may contain three times the amount of antioxidants found in green tea! V1 Wow! That makes pomegranates the new super food!**

Pause 00’35” TRACK 5 R1 Question 9 Listen to the following interview about the Nobel Peace Prize, and then indicate whether each statement is true or false by putting a tick in the appropriate box. You will hear the interview twice. *V1 Hello and welcome to our special programme today. Mrs Edith Maruza is here to talk to us about the Nobel Peace Prize. Edith, I understand you have just written a book about the history of the Nobel Peace Prize. V2 Yes, I have. V1 Perhaps you could tell us a little about what a Nobel Prize is. V2 Very well. A Nobel Prize is an international award managed by the Nobel Foundation in Sweden. Since 1901, the prizes have been awarded to men and women from all corners of the world for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace. V1 What does a prize consist of? V2 Well, each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma and a cash award. V1 So, how did the idea of a Nobel Prize originate? V2 The man behind the prizes is Alfred Nobel. The foundations were laid in 1895 when he wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prizes. V1 Who was Alfred Nobel? V2 Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden on 21st October 1833. He was a chemist, an engineer and, among other things, the inventor of dynamite. V1 Really? I didn’t know that. It’s odd to think the Peace Prize was created by the person who invented dynamite. Well, tell me more about the Peace Prize. V2 The Norwegian Parliament appoints the Nobel Committee, which selects the person or organisation to be awarded the Peace Prize. Each year, the committee invites suitably qualified people to submit nominations for the prize by February 1st of the year in question. And, there’s something very unusual about these nominations. V1 Oh, what’s that?
Mark scheme, page 13
Page 13 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2012 0510 33 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2012 V2 The other Nobel Prizes only recognise completed scientific or literary work but the Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons or organisations that are in the process of resolving conflict or creating peace. In other words, their work or project doesn’t have to be complete. V1 That is very interesting! What happens next? V2 The committee selects the winning person or organisation and the chairman of the committee presents the prize in front of the king of Norway. The ceremony takes place on 10th December each year, the anniversary of Nobel’s death. V1 Where is this ceremony held? V2 This is also very interesting. The Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not presented in Stockholm. The ceremony is held at the Oslo City Hall in Norway. It is followed the next day by the Nobel Peace Prize concert, which is broadcast to millions of people in over 150 countries around the world. V1 Why is the concert held after the ceremony? V2 The concert raises the profile of the Peace Prize. And, of course it's a celebration. V1 Can you tell me something about some of the Nobel Peace Prize winners? V2 Among the prize winners are Amnesty International, the United Nations Children’s fund, Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. Frequently, the prize has been awarded for efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. V1 Thank you, Edith. We have all learnt a lot from you today.** Pause 00’30” R1 Now you will hear the interview again. Repeat from * to ** Pause 00’30” R1 That is the end of Question 9.

You will hear the talk twice. *V1 Hello. I’m studying art and I’m going to tell you about my current large-scale art project. It might sound a little strange, but it’s helping me to improve my photography skills. I place and leave toy soldiers all around the beautiful city in which I live. I had the idea when watching the children’s film, “Toy Story”. You can buy a bag of 20 of the little plastic soldiers for £1.99 in my local shop. The models are plain grey and green when you buy them. My friend and I started placing the plastic soldiers at different points in the city and made a note of where we put each one. It was almost as if the “soldiers” were watching the city and protecting it, like in the film. I started the project really so that I could take photos of these tiny toy soldiers on huge brick walls and signposts for my art project. I positioned about 20 soldiers, took photos and started a page on the internet about my project. To my surprise there was a photo and report in our local newspaper the following week referring to my toy soldiers as our city’s “Secret Army”. One resident had found some soldiers which I had placed in cracks in walls and behind bushes. This lady asked other people to call her when they found a soldier; she wanted to draw a map of where they were found like an army general might do. I had carefully worked out my plan for surrounding the town of course! She also asked for the so-called “Captain” of the plastic soldiers to come forward – that is me, of course. However, I have more plans to carry out before I tell my neighbourhood who I am. My next project is to place differently coloured soldiers around the city for people to find and start collecting armies. So, if you find a yellow soldier you could start collecting the yellow army, for instance. Then I plan to have an interactive website for people to share the news when they find them. My brothers and I also paint other soldiers so that they look realistic – like they're dressed in real uniforms – and I would like to think that these might become “prizes" for collectors! Visit my web page to read how my project is progressing. Simply log on and type “Toy Soldiers” into any search engine to find me.** Pause 00’30” R1 Now you will hear the talk again. Repeat from * to ** Pause 00’30” R1 That is the end of Question 10, and of the test. In a moment your teacher will collect your papers. Please check that you have written your name, Centre number and candidate number on the front of your question paper. Remember, you must not talk until all the papers have been collected. Pause 00’10” R1 Teacher, please collect all the papers. Thank you everyone.
