2. From the title and the first paragraph do you think that you will have problems understanding the
vocabulary?

READING and SECOND LISTENING: look at the supporting materials on the web page and read
the part of the transcript that you have already heard. Listen again, while reading the rest of the
transcript. Now, answer the following questions:
1. Did reading the transcript help you to understand the podcast?
2. Are there any words or expressions that you still do not understand. If so, underline them.
LISTEN (full podcast): listen to the rest of the podcast (at least twice). Do one (or more) of the
exercises below:
1. Make a comparison between the transcript and podcast (what is actually said). You should
indicate the diffferences in lexis (words), pronunciation (contraction) as well as “filler” words
(‘ehm’, etc.). How are non-verbal features (intonation, tone, etc.) used in the podcast?
2. Write a summary of the podcast. Make sure you include information about the type of podcast
(radio broadcast, podcast only, etc.), the speaker(s), the goal of the podcast (to inform, persuade,
etc.), the audience as well as a short summary of the main points presented (approximately 5
sentences).
3. Prepare a glossary for the podcast, providing definitions, translations, explanations and/or
examples of useful vocabulary.

Correspondents Report - Sunday, 5 Oct., 2008
Reporter: Michael Rowland
BRENDAN TREMBATH: Many investors around the world are breathing a sigh of relief after the US
Congress finally passed the $700 billion rescue package for the struggling financial system.The stock
market has not been calmed though. Wall Street has endured yet another volatile week.North America
correspondent Michael Rowland has been getting some New York perspectives on the financial chaos.
MICHAEL ROWLAND: It's been yet another rollercoaster ride on Wall Street over the last week. Triple
digit losses followed by triple digit gains. It's enough to make even the most seasoned trader a tad
nauseous.But not Ted Weisberg.A floor trader for more than 40 years, he's literally seen it all, and
believes the recent events have to put into some perspective.I caught up with the avuncular 70-year-old
during a break in the stock market action and just as congress was reconsidering that $700 billion
bailout.
TED WEISBERG: I think it's not only in our best interest but perhaps to a certain degree in everybody's
best interest that we get this reasonably correct. Now, nothing's perfect, there's no perfect solutions to
any problem, but I think in general it's the right thing for the country and it's the right thing for our financial
markets.
MICHAEL ROWLAND: You've been on the floor for decades, you've seen everything, all the peaks and
troughs. How does this current period compare to financial crises in the past?
TED WEISBERG: Well each one is sort of different. The motivation is always different, the psychology
though is pretty much the same. But I would say none of this, putting 9/11 aside, none of this compares
to October of '87 crash, where the market was down, the Dow Jones was down 22 per cent in one day. I
had never seen a day like that prior to that day in October, and I have not seen one since. I mean, this is
interesting, and I would say that we've got a couple of days that came close, but nothing compared to
that.
