section here okay so here we go six here we go now turn to section three good questions 21 26 passing the virtues various art forms now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26. all right welcome back everyone our next guest is the curator of a korean pleased to have mr edgar patterson here today welcome to the show sir thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here and please call me edgar edgar of course now in your first book published four years ago you focused on performance artwork such as plays musical films and other such works your second book is a little closer to home for you it concerns purely creative fine art just one second i'll fix that cracking i should be able to fix it just a moment let me just check that free and then we'll fix it okay here we go just a moment okay so i'll go back a little bit in the audio and then we'll go for it one more time here so it should be just a second okay here we go all right welcome back everyone our next guest is the curator of a major art gallery in the city who has just released his second book on the virtues of art we're pleased to have mr edgar patterson here today welcome to the show sir thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here and please call me edgar edgar of course now in your first book published four years ago you focused on performance artwork such as plays musical concerts films and other such works your second book is a little closer to home for you it concerns purely creative fine art well yes it deals with the aesthetic virtue of different painting styles okay so give our viewers a quick rundown on what your book is about does it make an argument i mean does your book take a position on a certain issue in the world of art yes my book does take a position and a rather radical one the main thesis of my book is that the meaning we associate with a painting exists purely within ourselves this is in stark contrast to many commentators who believe that the author of a painting gives the painting its meaning under this framework if an artist intends his painting to represent the fear of an orphaned child then this is the one and only meaning such a painting can have we might call this the intention theory of art firstly my theory is that no matter what the intention of the author is the meaning of the painting comes from the viewer the meaning is exactly what the viewer thinks it is this solves an important problem with the intention theory of art namely that we do not have access to the mind of the artist and therefore we do not have access to the painting's meaning at all very interesting edgar but doesn't the intention theory work as a sort of grounding for artistic analysis what i mean is while we might not know the meaning the artist intended isn't the point of art to try to discern this meaning if art is just whatever we want it to be or feel it as doesn't that somehow make it less valuable that's an astute critique of my position but one i have an answer for my response is that art is not merely what we want it to be or feel it as we can still participate in our critique and interpretation all i want to say is in the end it is up to us to discern the meaning and value of paintings on our own you now have some time to look at questions 27 to 30. now listen to the rest of the discussion and answer questions 27 to 30. now let's talk about one type of controversial arc abstract art how does your can i call it a subjective theory of meaning yes that is fair okay how does your subjective theory of meaning apply to something like modern or abstract art art which doesn't tell an obvious story or have a clear meaning many people think that such works of art have no meaning at all it's certainly an interesting case but one which my theory is well matched to deal with you see abstract art has its critics like you say they think it has no meaning at all however other people think abstract works of art have all sorts of meanings now under the intention theory most of these commentators will be wrong since the work of art either has a meaning or it doesn't and if it does then it only has a single meaning so under the intention theory only those critics who discern the specific meaning of the artist will be successful my theory however results in each critic being correct in their own way for example if after critically analyzing a certain abstract work of arts i determine it is meaningless then it is meaningless because the meaning of an artwork comes from within i cannot be wrong and neither can other people the critic who sees a metaphor for suffering and the critic who views it as something entirely different are both right we are all correct in our interpretation as long as we given the painting a fair critique what do you mean by a fair critique well i mean it is not enough to merely look at a painting and write it off immediately as meaningless one must go through a certain process that said there are certainly other that is the end of section three you will now have half a minute to check your answers all right so make sure you use that half minute to check your answers okay so uh this was probably fairly challenging but this is how difficult some else listening sections are so let's go through this together this is a part three again keep that in mind so you've had two easier sections okay just let me stop the audio here all right um okay so uh we'll talk about this you'll notice that in this part three a lot of the answers come from understanding uh the speakers okay it's very difficult to just guess the answers in this case or listen for just some key words okay part three and part four are challenging that way you can't be just listening for keywords you have to understand the conversations or understand the lecture okay now don't panic okay so it's important to just stay calm think logically and think critically okay so before we get into answering these questions uh just openly answer a couple questions for me so uh here there's a canadian woman who is interviewing a british man who is this british man okay so before we get into the details i want you to realize that you need to think about the listening more than just i have to catch some words or catch some pieces of information for some of the part three part four listenings and the isles you have to understand the conversation that's more than just catching pieces okay so who is the man who is the british man okay he's a writer okay um yes in some sense he's a writer uh but who is he more specifically okay he's edgar yeah that's right quran so his name is edgar he has written a book um he's not so much uh okay he's a critical thinker specifically puiti what kind of a critical thinker is this man yeah carolina he seems to be some kind of a professor so some kind of a teacher and what's his profession what is he an expert in okay so let's see how much he actually understood from this conversation right so he's edgar a professor he's written a book or two and what is his area of expertise what is he a professional in okay wing-wing says something about art yeah mr tidehunter says art okay so he's an art expert okay or he's an art critic right okay uh so he's an art critic and this is what you should do so if you find that there's a listening that's a little bit challenging don't just simply go okay whatever and then go to another one but test yourself see what you actually understand so here we understood that uh we are talking about some kind of an interview here between this man and this woman and importantly this man um edgar right wrote a book about art critique so criticizing art because he is an expert in this okay um now um there are some ideas presented in the uh listening um what are the ideas presented makbuba the audio for this is in the general ielts and the academic ielts course and in the practice exams it's the sixth exam okay all right so um what is what kind of a theory does this man present so these ideas you should grasp here what is the idea what is the theory that this man presents okay so what does he put forward what does he argue he says something very important he's like i have uh something that's quite important what is that okay kalathur very good so kalathur says um the man says or talks about his intention theory of art okay good you're picking up on the main ideas kalathur very good he presents his intention the theory of art and what is that okay so what is the intention theory of art what is that theory of his so what does he argue okay and that's what his book is about right sanjay so his book is about the intention theory of art if you know the word intention you can figure out what this theory is okay so lydia says the intention theory says that the person will understand the art according to their perspective uh m verma coding says according to their own thoughts says right or wrong according to the perspective of the viewer not the reader the viewer right because we're talking about paintings yeah so he presents the intention theory of art which means the painting is understood from the perspective of the artist okay versus what other theory or sorry his theory that he presents is the subjective theory right which is this so the subjective theory of art the painting is understood uh from the perspective of the artist the intention theory is different okay so let's not confuse these two the intention theory of art is something different what is the intention theory of art it's not the viewer so the subjective theory is the viewer's intention because of the word subjective subjective means each person's own opinion right the intention theory is actually different what is the intention theory so we don't want to confuse these two okay so what we talked about just now is his theory is actually the subjective theory of art what is the intention theory so that's what he's kind of contrasting or comparing to okay and if you think about this logically you can kind of figure it out okay the reason i'm showing you this is because if you can understand this in the conversation these kinds of basic ideas that the men and the women are talking about then you'll get most of the answers correct okay so what is the intention theory if in one theory the subjective theory the viewer of the painting decides the meaning of the painting then what would be the opposite okay keep it simple intention theory is the arts meaning is decided by the artist i'll give you a good example of this okay so if you find this confusing so far don't worry about it i'll give you a really good example okay so here we go okay um so question what is this so what do you see what is this okay you might think it's crazy or i've lost my mind but i promise you i haven't um so what do you see here so you're going what tell me what you think you see here okay okay so carolina says she sees a waterfall okay okay uh vamsi says somebody is cleaning the floor okay kiran says somebody is fishing okay so all of those are subjective theory okay so all of that is what edgar says that that's your subjective theory okay i'm the artist and i say that this is a man walking his dog man with a hat walking a dog okay this is the intention theory because i'm the artist so i decide this art piece what it means and i decide that this is a man with a hat walking a dog there's little shoes there's the man there's the hat and he's walking a dog okay but many students carolina said it was a waterfall and kiran said that it was uh fishing close to what i drew but not quite okay so these would be the subjective theory of art okay so according to the subjective theory carolina and kiran are right because it's their decision it's their subjective view according to the intention theory carolina and kiran are wrong because only the artist gets to decide this idea and i decided that this is a man with a hat walking his dog okay so that is the topic of conversation in this part three and they do explain it quite clearly so if you were to listen to this one more time you would see that oh okay they talk about this back and forth quite a bit and it's explained quite clearly so even if you don't get all of the answers while you're listening you can probably figure a lot of them out later as long as you understand this okay and i can see that a lot of students are like oh okay i get it now i get it so now we can go through the answers and i'm sure now many of you will be like oh yeah okay that makes sense so here we go um all right let's answer these ones so these are kind of the easier questions in this part three so how many books has the guest written anybody catch that so was it one book two books or three books yeah very good so many of you caught that so the answer is b in the interview one of them says in your last book you talked about this but in your new book it's very very different okay so b was the correct answer the guest edgar has written two books good okay um what description does the guest give his book's thesis so what's the description that he talks about a position that he presents a radical idea or that his book is about the intention theory is it a b or c okay the correct answer here is b uh remember what i said students it's not the intention theory his theory is the subjective theory and the subjective theory is radical so he says my book takes a very radical position on art it argues that people give art its meaning you don't have to have the artist you can look at a painting and say hey that's a waterfall and who's the wiser if it's a waterfall it's a waterfall okay radical is kind of like unusual okay so the definition of radical is unusual and um against the normal or expected okay so most people expect that people say okay the artist decides what their art is but he's radical he says no no no you can let the viewer decide what the arts meaning is okay so b and b were the answers here okay so now these should become quite a bit easier that you have a good idea of the conversation okay so here which statement best describes the intention theory of art is it a the author creates the artwork's meaning the meaning comes from the viewer or there is no meaning outside the viewer's intention this is the intention theory not the subjective theory okay the intention theory says that a the author decides the author is the artist okay so the artist creates the meaning all right don't confuse intention with subjective listen to those words right intention the author or the artist intent versus subjective the subjective view of the uh viewer okay okay um so now it starts to get a little bit more clear so what is the biggest problem with the intention theory okay so what is the biggest problem with this theory of intention so what's the biggest problem of the meaning of an artwork coming from the artist yeah very good so i can see a lot of you are choosing a we don't have access to the mind of the artist i just think about it students how many of you have been in a museum or saw an artwork where you're kind of scratching your head and you're going is that a waterfall or is that a man fishing or what is that and you go and you look for the little sign that says this is a rocket ship landing on the moon and you're like oh okay it's not a waterfall it's not a man fishing it's a rocket ship landing on the moon um so you read the little sign right but if you don't have that sign if the artist is nowhere to be found then you just keep scratching your head i'm sure everybody has had this situation right bella's like yeah okay everybody has this situation that's the problem with this intention theory right that's what they explain is that you don't have access to the mind of the artist you don't know what they're thinking okay so so far so good now it starts to make more sense okay so according to the host one of the main goals in art critic is to understand a paintings something now this should be easy and the intention theory seems the best equipped for this task what's the missing word there meaning that's right yeah so the goal of right it's the first concept whenever people see art and they don't understand it they're like what does it mean what is it what does it look like so meaning yeah meaning so understanding a painting's meaning and the intention theory seems to be the best equipped the guest responds that art is not something what we want it to be but that we must also participate in critique and interpretation anybody catch that that was a more challenging one that was a very specific word okay um good guesses students the actual word that's used by the speaker is merely and you do have to get these words correct in the listening a synonym would be just i don't think they will take the word just what we want it to be you have to have merely but it's close okay merely all right now uh again because part three is a conversation some students actually find part three more challenging than part four so don't be surprised about that okay sometimes understanding a more specific conversation is more difficult than understanding a specific monologue or lecture right and i've heard many students say that that oh actually i thought part four was easier i thought part three was the most difficult so part two and part three the conversation parts can be quite challenging so practice these okay so now this table makes a lot more sense because here we have the situation here we have the intention theory and here we have the subjective theory so now you know that okay this is the artist view and this is the viewers perspective right so the situation and this is an inference type question the only way you can answer this question is if you understood the dialogue all right so critic thinks critically about an artwork and judges it to have no meaning okay according to the subjective theory they're right it has no meaning it's not a waterfall it's nothing it's just scribbles and lines according to the intention theory is it right or wrong it's wrong yeah because the artist says hey it's a man walking a dog so it's wrong okay all right um the critic does not think critically about an artwork and judges it to have no meaning clearly the critic is wrong because they don't know what the artist is thinking and how about this one the critic is what according to the subjective theory 28. yeah very good everyone he's wrong yeah because remember what the man says what edgar says edgar says that this theory only works if you give attention to the painting or the drawing so you can't just look at it and say oh it's just scribbles it has no meaning because notice how when carolina and karen looked at my drawing carefully many of you saw the man there and there was actually a man there carolina saw the waterfall but kieran did see the man fishing okay and somebody else saw the man cleaning the floor so you were close okay so you have to give attention you can't just not think critically okay the critic understands the author's meaning okay so in this case the critic is right and in the artist view so number 29 understands the author's meaning yeah right okay so if i can see like let's say okay some drawings are really simple what is that so what did i just draw there anybody what's this yeah a face okay or says a head or an emoji a smiley face that's exactly what i drew there yeah i thought that okay i drew a smiley face emoji head and you understood my meaning so you are right according to the intention theory okay and uh you're right according to the subjective theory because it's a happy face that's what i drew it was easily understood all right so good okay um so again students what i want to emphasize with this exercise is that it's really important to understand the conversation in part three okay um not just trying to pick out key words this is another inference type question this is called an inference type question because you have to understand the question to to answer it so an art critic is viewing a painting for the first time and wants to critique it using the subjective meaning theory determine whether the critic has satisfied the constraints of the theory with regard to his critique of the painting a the critic has satisfied the demand of the theory or b the critic has not satisfied the demands of the theory it's a really long question but it's actually not that bad if you know what you're doing so the critic looks at the painting for a moment and concludes from his initial impression that the painting lacks aesthetic value is the critic right do they satisfy the theory or be are they wrong here okay very good the correct answer is b the critic has not satisfied why because they only look at the painting for a moment okay their initial impression so the man says that they have to spend time with the painting or the drawing okay all right so again just an important note here that for part three part four practice understanding the conversation and the lecture and if you can't do that with just the audio what should you do okay so what should you do if you can't do it with just the audio right for part three and part four listening practice at home if you do not understand the content of the conversation or lecture from just the audio you must carefully read and analyze the transcripts that's right i can see a lot of you writing that okay so the transcripts are the written version of the audio in the back of the book we have that in our books uh cambridge books also have that so use that okay for your studies awesome so tough work hard work but hard work pays off students so good let's get cracking let's get right into uh listening part four everybody good to go yeah listening to bbc is good os but it might not be enough you should have a variety of listening um resources okay all right so let's get into listening part four again students remember to keep your answers to yourself until the end okay we'll go over them uh at the end together um here we go maybe a little bit easier than the previous for some uh and three two one turn up your headsets if it's quiet time to look at questions 31 to 40. listening section 4 you will hear a lecture about road infrastructure and its connection to economic prosperity thank you votes were thought to have been created and then utilize travel between adjacent lands these roads evidence for which exists going back 12 000 years were likely not connected so much to economic prosperity as to survival itself these roads allowed hunter-gatherers faster access to greater swaths of land the first paved roads were used in ancient egypt about 4500 years ago historians theorized that these roads were the first roads used for trade in our history these roads also would have been used to transport items such as building supplies the rivers were much more practical okay just a moment i see that some of you are saying the audio is cracking is it still crackling the audio was it still crackling or not give you guys a little bit of a second chance at the beginning here was it was it bad or no i see some students said it was cracking and then it stopped okay all right yeah so some of you are saying it's fine all right um then i shall start this again okay just give me a second i'll just see if i can adjust that okay okay here we go let me do this one more time all right so no worries you get a little bit of a second chance break here here we go all right yeah let me know if something's not clear okay a lot of moving parts here listening section 4 you will hear a lecture about road infrastructure and its connection to economic prosperity now listen and answer questions 31 to 40. roads have been connected to economic prosperity for millennia the first roads were thought to have been created by repeated animal grazing and then utilized by humans as ready-made routes for travel between adjacent lands these roads evidence for which exists going back 12 000 years were likely not connected so much to economic prosperity as to survival itself these roads allowed hunter-gatherers faster access to greater swathes of land the first paved roads were used in ancient egypt about 4500 years ago historians theorized that these roads were the first roads used for trade in our history these roads also would have been used to transport items such as building supplies though rivers were much more practical thoroughfares for the transport of goods certain goods from certain areas could not be transported by boat and this necessitated the creation of roads for economic reasons the silk road though not precisely a road is one of the most famous trade routes in history composed of many types of road the silk road stretched from china and thailand in the east all the way through the middle east and terminating in western europe these different routes of the silk road brought myriad items from the east to the west including of course silk this brought economic prosperity to china and surrounding regions for many centuries the silk road was so valuable for commerce that it persisted for over 1500 years the roman empire was the first major manufacturer of a system of roads at its height the roman empire contained 29 major roads totaling over 75 000 kilometers that's enough road to go around the world twice notably this is almost the precise total length of the modern united states interstate highway system these roads connected the vast lands of the empire and brought an intertwined economic prosperity to the diverse regions of the empire furthermore the roads were used for military transportation giving the romans a massive strategic advantage over their less advanced adversaries through the middle ages roads continued to be built and used for trade and commerce though technological advances were virtually non-existent though tar-based roads were used briefly in the arab empire in the 8th century this technology would not take off for another millennium today our roads and highways connect our communities countries and economies they are the modern trade routes by which we are all connected to each other the modern world would not be possible without the vast expanse of road infrastructure one interesting development in the history of road infrastructure was the advent of underground systems the first such system the london underground opened in 1863. such subterranean routes greatly increase the volume of human life that a city can sustain thus increasing that city's economic output london would not be a fraction of the economic powerhouse it is today without its underground rail system the same can be said for virtually every other major economic center underground systems are the next generation of economic generators while roads move goods which create economic prosperity underground systems move human capital which creates further economic prosperity what is the next great advance in ground transportation some futurists have theorized about a system of tubes propelled by air pressure or other means which would transport individuals vast distances in short times such a system could move humans at unprecedented speeds perhaps with an economic footprint far less than that of subterranean networks such tubes could even be built underwater imagine such a system connecting new york to london or tokyo to san francisco it would be incredible whatever lies ahead for humanity roads have gotten us to where we are and they are very likely to play a prominent role in getting us to where we will be next in one form or another all right and check those answers and then you'll have 10 minutes in the paper-based exam to transfer your answers to the answer sheet okay we'll go through these answers together students uh just so you know how you did in these sections okay uh here we go so uh what created the first roads according to this lecture or this professor who's talking to a class about roads so this is something that you might hear in a geography class a sociology anthropology class okay so what phenomenon created the first roads it was not trade it was something simpler than that oh it says repeat animals something about that yeah sied says animal grazing that's right sied very nice yeah animal grazing okay so animals basically moving in a direction and eating the forest or eating the vegetation animal grazing it's two words so not repeated animals just animal grazing that means animals feeding okay all right number 32 the roads were necessary for the transportation of many goods what was a much more practical thoroughfare for the transportation of goods in ancient times so what was more common a long time ago to use than roads bubba says boats yeah but what do boats need makbuba rivers that's right rivers boats are not thoroughfare okay so thoroughfare means a passage to move okay so rivers people used rivers to move a lot of items before uh using roads okay that makes sense all right we still use them today obviously rivers are very very useful they allow us to move easily from one place to another over great distances all right let's keep going here so interesting a little fact with number 33 uh which of these roads total approximately 75 000 kilometers the united states interstate system the ancient egyptian road network the ancient roman road network the silk road was it one and three one two three and four or one three and four the correct answer here was b very good for those of you uh who got that oh sorry it was a very good for those of you who got that okay so a only two of these right so the u.s interstate system and the ancient roman road network is approximately 75 000 kilometers so the correct answer here was a the silk road not quite as long ancient egyptian road network no mention of that okay so correct answer here is a a one and three all right okay um so and any but just bonus question you should always test the depth of your knowledge or your understanding anybody catch how many so how many roads what were the number of roads or the main roads of the romans that equaled this 75 000 kilometers around europe anybody catch the number of roads that the romans kind of yeah very good huang hat's off to hwang huang gets a super thumbs up that's for you huang uh mayur got it as well 29 yeah so according to historians 29 roman major roman roads equaled 75 000 kilometers wow those romans were really advanced in their building very nice nice job long and nice job maiur all right that's your active listening okay um what were two benefits of the roman road system you have to get both of these correct economic prosperity for the city of rome increased mobility of roman armies rapid technological advances import of luxury goods from china or broad economic prosperity for the empire which of these two are correct fahad says d lydia says a and e lydia is correct it's uh sorry lydia you're not correct um it is b and e okay so the answer is b and e um the problem with a lydia it's a tricky one it's the city of rome it's not the city of rome it's the empire of rome okay don't forget that before rome became a city rome was an empire okay it took up most of europe okay so b and e carolina good job so the roman armies moved quickly and it brought economic prosperity for the empire of rome right careful with these details students like city okay today we have a city of rome but a thousand years ago a little bit more we had an empire of rome the roman empire okay uh here we go this one you last four you had to figure out uh whether it applies to ancient roads applies to subway systems future transportation or all of them okay so increases economic activity is it ancient roads subway system future transportation or all of them for number 36 what do you think well ancient roads economic activity yeah the roman roads sure subway systems yeah human economy future roads will the future roads be carrying our goods and so on yeah i would say so d makes the most sense all of them create economic activity responsible for the growth of modern cities this one should be fairly easy 37 responsible never change these kinds of answers always stick with your first one students so number 37 responsible for the growth of modern cities lydia says b subway systems yeah absolutely in the last uh roughly hundred years hundred and ten years or so absolutely okay uh 38 used for military transportation think critically think logically number 38 used for military transportation a lot of you are saying a and you're correct yeah we don't really use subway systems for military that would be a bad idea i think although i think we've done it in the past um so a for sure applies to ancient roads okay moves human capital so it moves moves human capital number 39. ancient roads subway systems future transportation moves humans what do you think for number 39 yeah okay so give you a chance there um moves human capital i would say all of them okay ancient roads moved humans subways definitely move humans and i'm guessing future transportation will move humans as well so 39 d makes the most sense again just visualize it think critically okay um will move humans at unprecedented speeds around the world last one this is thankfully a fairly easy one number 40 wampsie says that's a c for sure yeah because it's will move right so it's not happening yet future transportation definitely not ancient roads subways present this is future c so db uh adc okay good students so um count up your scores especially for students who were here yesterday as well and let's do a little bit of score calculations so um there's kind of a interesting system that ielts uses to uh calculate scores so you see it on our website at aehealth.com and glthelp.com you have this score calculator at the bottom so you can use that if you click on that score calculator then up pops this calculator here and it asks you for your listening section score out of 40 and if you type your listening section score in there um muhammad is that says 22 so 22 out of 40 is a 5.5 let's i know it's tiny but hopefully see that so let me make it bigger that's your listening okay so 22 5.5 uh udaya got 35 35 would be a band eight i think that's your bank cool close to your band-aid cut off uh janelle got 30 so gineal you would get a band seven okay m verma coding very adamantly saying 29 29 is a 6.5 so i guess
