Could you tell me your name please? My name is Luca Frassinetti. Luca, I'd like
00:00:00
you to speak on your own for about one minute and a half. What are your personal
00:00:06
and career ambitions? I work at the moment I'm working in for a publisher
00:00:13
called Donny Kindersley I am a production editor and well I'm aimed to develop my
00:00:23
career within the same field possibly moving up to managerial a managerial
00:00:34
position within the production editorial team that's your career ambitions what
00:00:44
about your personal ambitions personal well I'm planning I attended a HND course eight years ago
00:00:51
I'm planning to develop my studies further and take a BA so I think that's probably the most
00:01:01
important ambition at the moment is I increase my knowledge within the field of publishing and can
00:01:11
When you remember back to when you were younger, have your ambitions changed since you were
00:01:18
a child?
00:01:23
Yeah, quite a lot.
00:01:25
When I was a child I wanted to be a florist, so obviously it went quite far away from that.
00:01:28
Tell me why you wanted to be a florist.
00:01:38
I don't know, probably because when I was a kid I just, I think maybe you don't have
00:01:41
the same view of the world that you develop when you get a bit older.
00:01:49
And so obviously being a florist seemed something quite exciting and artistic.
00:01:57
Now we're going to discuss something together.
00:02:04
The question is, is it more important for society to have scientists than artists?
00:02:07
What do you think?
00:02:16
I think that it's very important to have scientists and probably I would give more input in, more
00:02:20
funding into science than art, but I also think that artists are very important for
00:02:30
the development personal development of people so obviously I wouldn't give I
00:02:37
wouldn't stress the importance of I want you to be decisive here so I know the
00:02:43
other yeah I believe science is more important than art for the progress of a
00:02:50
society but artists reflect the world and help people understand and interpret
00:02:57
the world so doesn't that make them more important it might but without science
00:03:03
there would be no progress and it would be I think the society would not be able
00:03:10
to focus on other things such as art but you mentioned progress but but life will
00:03:15
be boring with scientific progress we need painting sculpture and theater
00:03:21
science can be an artist can be creative we've seen latest development of cells
00:03:27
made in laboratory we've seen you know that the sheep clones completed can it
00:03:35
has an element of creativity in it they're just copying nature they're not
00:03:42
they're not designing them themselves they're not copying nature because
00:03:47
nature, because nature wouldn't produce a clone for instance, so obviously it's something
00:03:52
different, it's created within itself.
00:03:58
Thank you very much. Now here are two pictures showing teenagers. These pictures are being
00:04:00
considered for a book about teenage identity. Please talk about the pictures and say how
00:04:07
the way the young people are dressed shows what they want to say about themselves.
00:04:14
Well, the top one, there's two girls, they've got very flamboyant dresses and hairdos.
00:04:22
And the bottom one, there's a guy, well, a boy wearing some quite ordinary teenage clothing.
00:04:33
I think teenagers, they try to either identify themselves within a certain society and within
00:04:44
a certain way of thinking, or they actually go the other way and they try to detach themselves
00:04:53
from the dominating culture and expressing themselves in a very different way to express
00:05:01
their non-belonging to the culture where they live in.
00:05:07
And so the top one is where they want to express themselves outside the dominating culture.
00:05:13
And probably the bottom one is the one that is more conforming themselves.
00:05:21
So which one of these pictures would you choose for the book about teenage identity and why?
00:05:26
I mean I would say that both are just as good because if I think back on my teenage, I mean
00:05:33
I had elements of my personality where I wanted to be part of the society, and elements where
00:05:42
I wanted to be outside it, express myself, and where I disagreed with everything that
00:05:50
was going on.
00:05:55
And so obviously I think it would be wrong to choose either one or the other.
00:05:57
Okay, thank you very much.
00:06:01
Please turn that over.
00:06:03
And here's a situation which describes a role play.
00:06:06
Please read the situation to yourself.
00:06:15
So I am a guest at the party and I think you are a famous actor.
00:06:20
So I start, excuse me, could I have your autograph please?
00:06:26
Why would you want that?
00:06:34
But you're a famous person.
00:06:35
Russell Crowe. I really loved your last film. I think you must be wrong. I'm sorry, but
00:06:38
I'm not a famous actor. But you look just like him. I might, but I'm afraid that I'm
00:06:45
not. Don't be shy. I won't tell anybody else. I'm sure you must be Russell Crowe. You must
00:06:52
believe me. I'm not Russell Crowe. I know it's difficult that you don't want people
00:06:59
to recognise you, but I'm sorry, I have recognised you. I can't pretend that you aren't Russell
00:07:05
Crowe because you are. I'm really sorry, but I think you're mistaken. I'm not. Do you have
00:07:10
a lot of trouble with people thinking you're Russell Crowe? It's never happened before,
00:07:18
so obviously I think you need an eye test. It's not Russell Crowe, it's Richard Burton.
00:07:23
you're richard burton and isn't it dead oh yes so it is sorry um no i don't mean richard but
00:07:29
i mean richard bacon which is big i have no idea who that is he's a famous actor as well
00:07:37
it's not me but are you sure i mean what do you do are you a writer an actor i work in an office
00:07:45
So now I have no intent to be an actor or anything.
00:07:53
Okay, well I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
00:08:00
It's okay.
00:08:03
Thank you very much.
