#Person1#: Dear audience, this evening we'll talk with a scholar who has been doing research into Mark Twain's works for 12 years. Welcome, Mr. Waton.
#Person2#: Hi, everyone! Good evening!
#Person1#: What would you like to talk about the great writer? Maybe some details that we don't quite know.
#Person2#: OK, Mark Twain, who traveled quite a lot, often because circumstances, usually financial circumstances forced him to. He was born in Florida Missouri in 1835, and moved to Hannibal, Missouri with his family when he was about four years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal, but that isn't true.
#Person1#: Yes, I didn't know it if you don't tell us this evening.
#Person2#: Well, after his father died when he was about twelve, Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left so he could earn more money. He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers, and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississippi.
#Person1#: Did Twain like that job?
#Person2#: He loved this job, and many of his books show it. The river job didn't last however, because of the outbreak of the Civil War. To avoid joining the army, he went west-California. Twain worked as a gold digger without much luck.
#Person1#: That's interesting!
#Person2#: But he did succeed as a writer, once that happened, Twain traveled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. Twain didn't travel much the last ten years of his life, and he didn't publish much either. Somehow his travel inspired his writings. Like many other popular writers, Twain derived much of the materials for his writing from the wealth and diversity of his own experience. | #Person1# introduces Mr.Waton.

Lynne Neagle AM: Right we will therefore take a vote All those in favour of amendment 2 please show All those against So there voted four in favour two against and amendment 2 is agreed That takes us on to group 3 which relates to the regulationmaking powers in the Bill The lead amendment in the group is amendment 3 in the name of the Deputy Minister I move amendment 3 in the Deputy Ministers name and call on the Deputy Minister to speak to her amendments and the other amendments in this group
Julie Morgan AM: Thank you very much Chair Members will note that I have brought forward an amendment to provide certainty on the date of commencement of the core provision in the Bill which is obviously to abolish the defence of reasonable punishment And that is going to be debated under group 5 So we are obviously debating that after we deal with these particular technical issues—these are technical issues here basically As a consequence of proposing to remove the power for a Welsh Minister to make an Order for commencement the power to make transitory transitional or saving provisions in connection with section 1 of the Bill coming into force would also be removed So I am not seeking here to add any new powers to the Bill amendment 3 will simply add this existing power back onto the face of the Bill where amendments 7 and 8 remove it and amendment 6 will bring the power into force the day after Royal Assent In fact removing the power for the Welsh Ministers to commence the provision in section 1 by Order means the statutory instrument will actually do less than originally intended These amendments are technical in nature and while I acknowledge that the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee raised the issue of what procedure should be applied their report did not call for any change to no procedure being applied The absence of an Assembly procedure does not mean that Ministers decisions in relation to transitional powers can not be scrutinised by the Assembly Any concerns about the Welsh Ministers proposals could be put to me in the Senedd This was a point made to CLAC and as I say their final conclusion was that no procedure is the appropriate procedure for such a power For those reasons I encourage Members to reject amendment 3A from Suzy
Suzy Davies AM: Thank you very much Well perhaps Deputy Minister I can begin by saying that one persons technical issue is another persons essential part of the legislative procedure and a keen element in scrutiny But I thank you for noting the Assemblys observations on the ministerial powers granted in this Bill—this time by CLAC as you say Moving this—and I am glad actually that amendment 8 I think it was has removed an Order provision and we are moving into an area where at least statutory instruments do feature here I have to say that amendment 3A is something of a probing amendment and I will explain why now Your amendment 3 seeks to give a familiar range of powers in connection with the coming into force of section 1 but it is actually in a substantive part of section 1 itself now—it is not a separate commencement power And actually I have been listening to the rest of this debate and thinking that if you are going to be introducing an awareness campaign and a report the chances are you are going to need some regulatory powers to introduce some of the aspects of both those policy areas I think And I am wondering whether the—what is it—transitory transitional and saving provisions are actually enough powers for you under the course of this Bill I am wondering whether you want to consider actually amending this to give yourself the more usual unrestricted power to make regulations in order for you to get section 1 implemented bearing in mind that it has now been amended from that original very short and simple—or at least simple in terms of drafting—initial draft As I say in anticipation of you rejecting amendments in group 1 I tabled this in order to make sure that an opportunity remains for the Assembly to bring anything you may wish to introduce under section 1 when it comes into effect onto the floor of the Assembly Because while I completely accept that you have acknowledged that statutory instrument is the process for introducing things from now on it is still possible to do that without procedure and so I have no idea whether you think what you introduce would be better suited to be introduced by a negative or affirmative procedure Amendment 3A is a holding position which we will return to you in Stage 3 because I think again this is an area where it might be valuable for us to discuss quite what kind of powers you are looking for because I think you probably need something that is beyond transitional transitory and saving
Lynne Neagle AM: Suzy have you finished ?
Suzy Davies AM: Yes thank you very much
Lynne Neagle AM: Are there any other Members who wish to speak on this group ? No Deputy Minister
Julie Morgan AM: I thank Suzy for that input We do not actually think it is necessary to have wider powers but we will keep this under review and at Stage 3 I think that— When I was looking at this I was concerned to know what the transitory powers—what we would actually need to do at that stage but I can understand that there may be links to other Bills in ways that we are not anticipating at the moment that would make it necessary to have those powers So basically I do not think it is necessary to have wider powers but I can assure you that we will keep that in review coming up to Stage 3
Suzy Davies AM: Can I just ask a question on the back of that ?
Lynne Neagle AM: Will you take a brief intervention at the end Minister ?
Suzy Davies AM: Will you take the briefest intervention before your full stop ?
Julie Morgan AM: I was going to end there yes
Suzy Davies AM: Right well just before your full stop would you just confirm that you are happy for us to discuss this before Stage 3 ?
Lynne Neagle AM: thank you Before disposing of amendment 3 we will deal with the amendment to that amendment Suzy do you wish to move amendment 3A ?
Suzy Davies AM: I will move it yes
Lynne Neagle AM: The question is that amendment 3A be agreed Does any Member object ? Objection I will take a vote by show of hands All those in favour of amendment 3A All those against So there voted two in favour four against Amendment 3A is not agreed If amendment 3 is not agreed amendment 6 will fall Deputy Minister do you wish to proceed to a vote on amendment 3 ? The question is that amendment 3 be agreed Does any Member object ? Amendment 3 is therefore agreed The committee will now break for 10 minutes and reconvene at 1105 am Can I welcome Members back ? We will move on to group 4 which relates to the duty to ensure sufficient funding The lead amendment in the group is amendment 11 in the name of Janet FinchSaunders I call on Janet FinchSaunders to move amendment 11 and to speak to her amendments Janet | The Deputy Minister proposed that she encouraged members to reject amendment 3A. She said she was not seeking to add any new powers to the Bill. Amendment 3 would simply add the existing power back onto the face of the Bill, where amendments 7 and 8 remove it, and amendment 6 would bring the power into force the day after Royal Assent. Then Suzy Davies said that amendment 3A was a holding position, and they would return this to the Deputy Minister in stage 3. Suzy thought this was an area where it might be valuable to discuss quite what kind of powers they were looking for, because Suzy Davies thought the Deputy Minister might need something that was beyond transitional, transitory and saving. At last, they took a vote for this and ended up with rejecting amendment 3A, and agreeing on amendment 3. |

Leu: How are you? Any new development about the house?
Luisa: Hello my dear! Sadly not. No news at all regarding the house :(( We'll be sitting on it till the end of our lives!
Leu: That can't be. It is such a fantastic property. In such an incredibly beautiful estate. It's a matter of time.
Luisa: That's what we thought last spring when we put it on the market.
Leu: It took me 2 years to sell my flat back in Poland.
Luisa: Oh well... Wait and see. The last prospective buyers we had, 5 weeks back, were so enthusiastic we'd thought we're done. They said ours was shortlisted, their favourite in Ballito, but they still wanted to check another estate. And that was it. She didn't even bother to phone, just sent me a minimal message. Bill got so frustrated that he drank himself stiff that night.
Leu: He does it from time to time, doesn't he?
Luisa: From time to time? Regularly!!! Can't you remember?!
Leu: Not quite. Never saw him really tight.
Luisa: Cause you used to leave before his evening was over. I'm seriously worried about his health, to tell you the truth. It's just every day that he tipples.
Leu: As if slowly killing himself with liquor.
Luisa: He doesn't care. He says he's got his life behind him.
Leu: But it is terrible. How can you cope with it?
Luisa: I stopped to care too. It is his life. If he wants to put a quicker end to it, it's up to him. Look I cannot do anything about it. What hide bottles? Just don't want to have an invalid in my house one day.
Leu: Therapy?
Luisa: Gimme a break! Can you imagine Bill attending an AA therapy like a good boy! I can't.
Leu: Nor can I.
Luisa: We even stopped talking about his drinking problem long ago. When he started, just after and because of his early retirement, I thought I'd better refrain from commenting because he's so depressed. But then it was worse and worse... Now it's too late.
Leu: Poor Luisa, poor Bill. It is so sad. But you are tough Luisa. You are so incredibly tough and strong and even-tempered, I'd say.
Luisa: Yes, I am. That keeps me sane. I don't worry if I can't change it. To a degree...
Leu: Right you are! "The beach scape changes every month as tides bring in tons of sand and cover the rocks making the beach appear totally different." Do you remember?
Luisa: "Then the rocks are laid bare as the tide pulls away the sand. Such is life." | Luisa has had no luck selling her house yet. It took Leu 2 year to sell his apartment. Bill has a drinking problem. Luisa has stopped trying to help Bill. |

#Person1#: Right, that ends the third and final part of our presentation. I'd like to end by emphasizing the main points. I'll give you a brief summary. There are three potential areas for development in the future, domestic, overseas market, and the internet. Each of these markets have their own particular need for marketing strategy. . . for domestic, we can rely on past research, for overseas markets we depend heavily on our cultural consultants, and for the internet, we need to redo our image to appeal to a young set of consumers. Our main issue here is that we need to be sensitive to the needs of different markets in order to continue to see success. Mark, did you have anything to add?
#Person2#: Yes, I want to restate one more time the importance of reinventing our company's image to appeal to different customer bases. I want to end with a true story that has to do exactly with what we've been talking about today. . . | #Person1# wants to end the presentation by emphasizing the main points that they need to be sensitive to different markets, while Mark wants to restate the importance of reinventing the company's image and end with a true story. |

#Person1#: Is there something in particular you are saving for? A new car?
#Person2#: I can't afford anything too expensive, but my parents said they would pay for half the cost of a laptop. My father wants me to know the meaning of 'no pains, no gains'.
#Person1#: That's cool, so should I come back later?
#Person2#: Yeah, let me finish my responsibilities first, and then I'll call you. | #Person1# invites Martin to a movie but Martin has to finish his responsibilities around the house to get paid by his father, then Martin tells #Person1# about the history of this deal. |

#Person2#: If I had chance again, I'd major in English. You're good at language.
#Person1#: That's what my parents want me to do.
#Person2#: You should take their advice. They know what's best for you. But my friends will have jobs and lots of fun, while I spend all my time doing reading and writing.
