USEFUL WORDS AND PHRASES
11 November is 'Singles' Day' in Shanghai, and every year a dating
event takes place where all the single men and women of the city
have the chance to meet a partner. Last year, it was so popular that
the organizers had to close online registration because there were
no more places.
Between 10,000 and 40,000 people attend the event every year.
It's held in a district of Shanghai called Thames Town. At least 50
dating agencies take part. They set up stands in the town hall with
billboards displaying cards with the height, birth date, education, and
annual income of thousands of clients. People who did not manage
to register for the event organize their own unofficial dating system
by writing their names and phone numbers on bits of paper and
attaching them t o the fence outside the town hall.
More people take part in 'Singles' Day' every year because of the
growing number of single adults in Shanghai. In the centre of the city,
more than 24% of people over the age of 15 are unmarried.

'Great location and service'
Located in the heart of the city, the Park Central New York is in easy
walking distance of Carnegie Hall, Broadway and the Museum of
Modern Art (MOMA). Central Park is only three blocks away and
Fifth Avenue, with its international boutiques and huge department
stores, is only a ten-minute walk from the hotel. For guests who
want to travel further away, there are seven subway lines located
within three blocks of the hotel.
The Park Central New York offers great service, great comfort and
great value. The hotel's bistro, 'Cityhouse', provides the perfect
setting for dinner before a concert or a Broadway show in the
evening. Guests can enjoy the reasonably priced set menu while
watching the world go by on Seventh Avenue through the bistro's
oversized windows. There's also a bar in the lobby where guests can
enjoy a cocktail after the show.
Because of its central location, the Park Central New York is the
ideal hotel for tourists visiting the city for the first time. Our multilingual staff on the front desk are always happy to provide tour
assistance and answer any questions guests may have.

Ten minutes later, it began to rain. Soon, Liz found it hard

on the road, so she drove more slowly. Although Liz was an
experienced driver, she felt afraid.

An hour later, fire f i g h t e r s cut Liz out of the car. She
went to hospital, but the doctors sent her home because
she didn't have any serious injuries. Her head was fine and
she only had a few cuts and bruises. Her son went to collect
the shopping f r o m the car and gave the loaf of bread to his
mum. Now, she is going to keep it as a souvenir.
H I One day last November, Liz Douglas decided to go
shopping in Glasgow. She drove to the supermarket in the
city centre and spent the morning doing her weekly shop.
She paid f o r her shopping, went back to the car park, and
put the shopping bags on the back seat of the car. Then
she started to drive home.
I I However, Liz was lucky. When she braked, a loaf of bread
flew out of one of the shopping bags. The car t u r n e d over,
and the loaf of bread landed between Liz's head and the
roof of the car. It stopped her head from hitting the car roof.

telegraph pole in f r o n t of her and braked. She closed her
eyes and hoped that the airbags in the car would inflate.

The world's busiest a i r p o r t today is in the USA. Nearly
54 million passengers pass t h r o u g h Atlanta International
Airport every year. However, by the end of the next
decade there's going t o be a new airport even bigger and
busier than Atlanta. The new airport is going to be in the
capital of China: Beijing.
Beijing already has t w o airports. The first is Beijing Capital,
where an extra terminal was built for the 2008 Olympic
Games. The second is Nanyuan Airport, which is mainly
used by military planes .Just over 73 million passengers
passed t h r o u g h Beijing Capital Airport last year, making it
the second busiest after Atlanta. But the current airport
is not big enough f o r all the Chinese passengers w h o want
to travel by plane. This is why the government is going to
build a new one.
The new a i r p o r t is going to be in the suburb of Daxing,
in the south of t h e city. Daxing is about an hour's drive
f r o m the city centre. The government is going t o extend
Beijing's M e t r o so t h a t passengers can reach it more easily.
There are also plans for a high-speed train line. The airport
is going t o have eight runways for commercial flights,
and a ninth runway for military use. This is going t o make it
the biggest and the busiest a i r p o r t in the world.

Tour of the Magic Triangle: Prague - Vienna - Budapest
Visit these three beautiful capital cities and discover their historic monuments
and lively atmosphere. Enjoy three wonderful cultural performances and
return with unforgettable memories.
P r a g i
The tour starts in Prague, capital of the
Czech Republic. A free bus takes you from
the airport to your hotel, where you spend
three nights. The price includes a tour of the
city, a cruise on the Vltava River, a visit to a
spa resort, and a performance at the Laterna
Magika theatre. From Prague you travel first
class by train to your next destination: Vienna.
Vienna
The Austrian capital has many spectacular monuments, which
you can visit with the free 72-hour travel card which you receive
when you arrive in Vienna. The price also includes a tour of the
city, Viennese coffee and cakes at the famous Hotel Sacher, and
a performance at the opera. After your three nights in Vienna
you travel first class by train to your final destination: Budapest.
Budapest O
You spend your last three nights in Budapest, the capital city of
Hungary, where there are plenty of places to explore. The city is
divided into two parts: the old historic city of Buda on the hill, and
the commercial city of Pest on the other side of the River Danube.
The price includes a tour of the city with a visit to the Parliament
building, a typical Hungarian dinner, a performance of classical
music, and the return journey from your hotel to the airport.
At only €1599, this is an opportunity you cannot afford t o miss!

NY
New York City has over 20,000 restaurants
serving all kinds of f o o d . However, eating out in
the Big Apple can be very expensive. Here are some
tips on how to save money during your stay.
Early Bird Menus
These are meals served in some New York restaurants
between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., when they would normally
be empty. If you don't mind having dinner early, you
can enjoy a three-course meal for between $13 and $25
Cucina d i Pesce (87 E.4th St) serves great Italian food on its
$12.95 Early Bird menu. If you prefer something Spanish, you
can t r y the $16.99 Early Bird menu at La Paella (214 E.9th St).

These are similar to Early Bird Menus,
but they are served in the Theatre
District. Most of the restaurants
here offer a set menu at a fixed price
ranging from $30 to $45. The offer
s only available before the show,
and it starts at 5 p.m.
Four-Star Restaurants
These are all very expensive at dinnertime, so why not have
lunch there instead? That way you can
get dinner guality food at lunchtime

serves fantastic Scandinavian food on
a great lunch menu and Jean Georges
(1 Central Park West) offers an excellent
two-course lunch for only $28.

However, a recent study by researchers

The fisherman
and the banker
A n American banker was on holiday abroad. H e was w a l k i n g o n a
beautiful beach near a small village. H e saw a fisherman i n his boat
w i t h a few fish i n i t .
'Great fish!' he said. ' H o w long d i d it take you to catch them?'
' N o t very long,' answered the fisherman.
'Why didn't you stay at sea longer to catch some more?' asked
the banker.
'There are just enough fish here to feed my family,' answered
the fisherman.
Then the American asked, 'But what do you do the rest of the time?'
' I sleep late, I fish a little, I play w i t h my kids, and 1 relax. I n the
evening, I go to see my friends in the village. We d r i n k wine and play
the guitar. I ' m busier than you t h i n k . Life here isn't as...'
T h e American interrupted h i m . ' I have an M B A f r o m H a r v a r d
University and I can help y o u . You're not fishing as much as
you can. I f you start fishing for longer periods of t i m e , you'll get
enough money f r o m selling the fish to buy a bigger boat. T h e n w i t h
the money you'll get f r o m catching and selling more fish, you could
buy a second boat, and then a t h i r d one, and so o n . T h e n instead
of selling your fish to shops, you could sell them directly to a fish
factory, or even open your o w n factory. T h e n you'll be able to leave
your little village for the city, and finally move to N e w Y o r k , where
you could direct the company.'
' H o w long w i l l that take?' asked the fisherman.
'About 15 to 20 years,' answered the banker.
'And then?'
' T h e n it gets more interesting,' said the A m e r i c a n , smiling and
talking more quickly. ' W h e n the moment comes, you can p u t your
company on the stock market and you w i l l make millions.'
'Millions? But then what?'
' T h e n you can retire, live i n a small village by the sea, go to the
beach, sleep late, play w i t h your k i d s . . . '

How much fruit do you eat every day? And how many
vegetables? Food experts today think that we don't
have enough of these foods in our diet and they say
that we eat too much f a t and sugar. This is why the
World Health Organization has started a campaign
to encourage us to eat more fruit and vegetables.
The campaign in the UK is called Five a Day.
Why eat fruit
and veQetables?
Fruit and vegetables are full of important vitamins and minerals
which our bodies need t o be healthy. Scientific studies have shown
that eating a lot of them can prevent some illnesses like diabetes
and obesity. Also, fruit and vegetables don't contain much fat and
they don't have many calories, so they help to keep us slim.
What counts?
Nearly all fruit and vegetables count towards your five a day,
except potatoes. The food can be fresh, frozen, or in a can, like
peaches or peas. It can be raw, cooked, or even dried, like raisins
or banana chips. A glass of 100% fruit juice with no added sugar
also counts as one portion.
How much is a portion?
A portion of fresh fruit or vegetables depends on the size of
the food. In the case of small-sized fruit like plums or mandarin
oranges, one portion is t w o pieces of fruit. A piece of mediumsized fruit like an apple, an orange, or a pear also counts as one
portion. With larger fruit like melon and pineapple, one portion
is a 5 cm slice. We use the same method for calculating portions
with vegetables. In the case of salad vegetables, a medium-sized
tomato or a 5cm piece of cucumber count as one portion each.
For smaller, cooked vegetables like beans and carrots, one
portion is three large spoonfuls of vegetables.

The truth about
mothers-in-law
Although it's men who tell jokes
about them, mothers-in-law are
usually less popular with their
daughters-in-law than with their
sons-in-law. A recent study of
49 married couples found that
« • '• M ^ ^ ^ B
two thirds of wives interviewed
said that their mothers-in-law caused them 'unhappiness and
stress', compared with 15% of the husbands.
There are a number of reasons for this. First of all, there is
the guestion of experience. A mother-in-law has already
brought up a family of her own, so she feels that she has a
lot of knowledge to pass on. In this situation, it is very difficult
for her to keep guiet. However, when a daughter-in-law is a
new mother, she usually wants to find her own way of doing
things. She often interprets her mother-in-law's advice as
criticism, which can cause a conflict.
Secondly, there is the case of the husband. Both women
care for him, although each of them loves him in a different
way. On the one hand, he is the mother-in-law's son and she
obviously wants the best for him. On the other hand, he is
the wife's partner, and she wants him to support her. Both
women can get very upset if they see the man taking sides,
and this can cause an argument.
However, mothers-in-law actually have a lot to offer, despite
their reputation for causing trouble. They are generally
excellent babysitters, and they don't mind helping with the
housework. As long as they have their own independent
lives and help out only when needed, mothers-in-law can
play a very useful role in any family. The important thing
is that they should not get too involved in their sons' and
daughters' relationship so that nobody feels bad.

What's
Learn a language
This week we ask students from
all over the world for their ideas.
Josef, Czech Republic
I think it's really hard t o learn a language if you don't have anyone t o talk
to. I've joined a social networking site where I can chat in English t o lots of
other people like me. I'm more interested in using English t o communicate
than anything else, so I don't mind if my grammar isn't perfect.
Paolo, Portugal
I don't have time t o go t o an English class, but there's a great site on t h e
internet which has classes in the f o r m of podcasts. Every week, I download
a few of these onto my phone, so t h a t I can listen t o the class when I'm
going t o and f r o m work. I find the words and phrases t h a t I have t o listen t o
and repeat incredibly useful.
Marit, Norway
I'm a big fan of English pop music, so I spend a lot of time listening t o different
songs at home on my iPad. I've downloaded a new app t h a t puts the lyrics
on the screen and translates the song for you at the same time. I really enjoy
learning English like this, and it's very good for my pronunciation, too.
Kiko, Japan
I can't a f f o r d t o pay for one-to-one English classes, but I've f o u n d a great
course online. I have to watch a short video, and then learn the grammar and
vocabulary in it. If I have any guestions, I can contact my online t u t o r who's
very friendly. I'm really enjoying the course, and I've learnt a lot f r o m it.
Luis, Spain
I love books, and in my opinion, you can learn a lot of new words by reading in
English. My journey t o university is guite long, so I usually read books on my
e-reader. You can click on difficult words and get a translation, which is very helpful.
Gloria, Brazil
My favourite way to learn a language is to go to a language school and join a
class. There are classes for many levels of English, whether you're a beginner
or you've been learning for a long time. It's great when you have other students
in the class and you can learn and practise together, and of course having a
teacher to help you is really important. It's good to do your homework too!

Well, most of these are possible - the best thing to do depends on
where the crocodile is at the time. If it comes towards you on land,
experts say you should turn around and run away a s fast a s possible.
Crocodiles can run faster than humans over a short distance, but they
soon get tired. If they miss their first chance to catch their victim,
they usually start looking for something else.
If you're in the water, then splash around t o make a noise so t h a t the
animal gets confused. If this doesn't w o r k , push your t h u m b or fingers
into the crocodile's eye. This is the most sensitive area of the crocodile's
body and it is the place where you can cause the animal the most pain .
It will also be very surprised by your attack and it's quite possible t h a t i t

However, if the crocodile is in a bad m o o d , it's possible t h a t it will carry on

him outside his apartment. Since then, both o f his sons have
become musicians. Julian Lennon has made six albums and
Sean Lennon has sung and played bass guitar w i t h a number o f
different bands. So far, however, neither of them have been as
successful as their father.
John Lennon was born in Liverpool on 9 October, 1940.
His parents separated when he was five, so he went t o live
with an aunt and uncle. However, he stayed in contact w i t h his
mother, who played him Elvis Presley records and t a u g h t him
how t o play the banjo.
H I Before The Beatles broke up in 1970, John met the
Japanese artist, Yoko Ono, and he divorced his first wife. He
left the band and continued making music both on his own and
with Yoko. Their son, Sean, was born on 9 October, 1975 and
John stayed at home t o look after him.
When John was 15, his mother bought him his first guitar.
He formed his first band called The Quarrymen while he was
still at school. When he left school, he started a course at A r t
College, but the band t o o k up a lot o f his time, so he didn't
finish t h e course.
The band released their first single 'Love Me Do' in
October, 1962. They started touring t h e country. John married
his first wife, Cynthia, in secret, and his first son, Julian, was
born while they were away. Fans went mad wherever The
Beatles played and all of their albums reached t h e number one
spot in the charts.
H ! I The singer-songwriter and guitarist John Lennon is one
of the greatest musicians of all time. Songs like Givepeacea
chance and Imagine made him famous all over the w o r l d .
John met Paul McCartney at the second performance of
The Quarrymen and he soon joined the band. Later, George
Harrison joined them as lead guitarist. In 1960, they became
The Beatles and they started looking f o r a drummer. Ringo
Starr replaced their original drummer, Pete Best, in 1962.

JFK
International
r
••••
-4
JFK (John F Kennedy) International Airport is the largest of
the three airports serving New York City. It is located in
Southeast Queens, about 15 miles (24km) from Manhattan.
Travel time to Manhattan by car during rush hour can be over
an hour; at other times it's about thirty to forty minutes.
Getting into town from the airport
Although AIRTRAIN JFK does not travel directly to
Manhattan, it connects passengers to New York's subway
and bus networks. The journey costs $7 and takes about
an hour, depending on your destination. If you don't mind
carrying your own luggage, this is probably your best option.
TAXIS are available outside every terminal in the airport
and there's a $45 flat fee to any location in Manhattan.
Taxis will take up to four passengers and there is no
additional charge for luggage.
NEW YORK AIRPORT SERVICE EXPRESS BUSES run every
15 to 30 minutes from 6.30 a.m. to 11.10 p.m. from each
of the airport terminals. The fare is $13, but you can save
money by buying round trip tickets online. One free child
under 12 is included in the fare. You can choose to get off
at Grand Central, Port Authority or Penn Station and the
ride takes about an hour.

One thing my schooldays did teach me was the importance
of teamwork. At boarding school, I was an outsider and I was
really, truly unhappy there. When I started playing sport at
Grenham House, I became a member of a team, and I felt
a lot better about myself. Like sport, acting is also nearly
always a team event and you rely just as much on other
people as they do on you.
3
Yes, I did. My brother and I both went to the same school
and sometimes, we used to break the rules. In private
schools at that time, a common punishment used to be 'the
cane': a long stick which the head teacher used for hitting
naughty boys. Both of us were caned on several occasions.

Well, I wasn't very academic at all, really, and I was very bad
at maths. Luckily for me, I was really good at sport and that's
the only reason they accepted me at Wellington. I was in
the school rugby team, and I also played tennis. I played at
Wimbledon once, in the junior tournament, and I got through
to the second round.

Although I was good at sport, I never really considered

Yes, my favourite teacher was Mr Storr, head of the school
tennis team, and also my English teacher. One day, when I
was 14 or 15,1 had to read in class. After the class, he said
to me, 'The way you read suggests you might enjoy acting.
Would you consider playing Macbeth in the school play?'
That was the beginning of my acting career, and I've never
looked back since.

The researchers used a card game for their experiment and 54 students
between the ages of 18 and 23 took part. The scientists d i v i d e d the
participants i n t o t w o groups. Both groups were given a short lesson i n
h o w to play the card game, either i n the m o r n i n g or i n the evening. The
lesson was very short, not long enough for either group to learn exactly
h o w the card game worked. A l l of the students were asked to come back
12 hours later. The 28 students w h o had the class i n the afternoon went
home to a n o r m a l evening and their usual n i g h t of sleep, w h i l e the 26

If you've learnt British English and you're travelling in t h e States,
or if you've learnt American English and you're travelling in
Britain, you'll notice some differences. An obvious difference is
the accent, but most travellers f i n d t h a t they don't have t o o many
problems w i t h this. There are some grammatical differences,
but they shouldn't make i t d i f f i c u l t t o understand people, or
t o communicate. That leaves differences in vocabulary, which
can cause misunderstandings. Sometimes the difference is only
the spelling, f o r example, in British English centre, colour, and
travelled, and in American English center, color, and travelled.
But sometimes the w o r d is completely d i f f e r e n t in British and
American English, so it's a g o o d idea t o be prepared.

Presenter Hello and welcome to Love Online. Today,
we'd like you, the listeners, to call i n and tell us about
your experiences o f online relationships. A n d - o h my!
- that's quick! - we already have our first caller. Hello?
A l a n H i , my name's A l a n .
Presenter Hello, A l a n . Can you tell us about your
experience o f internet dating?
A l a n Yes, o f course. I'm quite shy, you see, and I'm not
very good at talking to girls I don't know. So one day, I
registered on an online dating agency and I met Susan.
Presenter A n d what happened?
A l a n We got on really well. I n fact, after four months,
we bought a house together. A n d now we've got a
beautiful little boy called Sam.
Presenter Congratulations. A l a n ! Thanks for calling.
Now, I think we have another caller. Hello?
K a t e H i , I'm Kate.
Presenter Hello, Kate. W h a t can you tell us about love
online?
K a t e Well, 1 decided to try a dating site because I w o r k
long hours and I don't have time to meet new people.
Presenter So what happened?
K a t e Well, I met some guys, and then I met Craig.
Presenter Who's Craig?
K a t e Well, now, he's my husband. A n d we're very happy
together.
Presenter That's great news, Kate! It looks as i f it is
possible to find love online. Now, who's our next caller.
Paolo Paolo.
P r e s e n t e r H i , Paolo. D i d you m a r r y someone you met
on the internet?
Paolo Yes, I did, but it was the worst t h i n g I ever did.
Presenter O h . Why's that?
Paolo Because she didn't really love me.
Presenter H o w do you know that?
Paolo It was in the newspaper. There was an article about
a woman who contacted men online, married them, and
then left w i t h all their money. A n d there was a photo o f
my wife next to the article, w i t h her ex-husband.
Presenter O h , I'm sorry to hear that, Paolo. A n d I ' m
afraid that's all we've got time for today. Join me next
week for another edition o f Love Online...

A n d now for the latest news i n the art w o r l d . I f you're i n
Paris this weekend, you m i g h t like to visit the new D a v i d
Hockney exhibition called Fresh Flowers. As the name
suggests, most o f the pictures depict flowers. However,
these are no ordinary flower pictures, because Hockney
uses his iPhone or his iPad to draw them.
Hockney started p a i n t i n g o n his iPhone d u r i n g the
winter o f 2 0 0 8 . A t the time, he was staying at his home i n
the N o r t h o f England where he has a beautiful view out
o f his bedroom window. One m o r n i n g , he picked up his
iPhone, and used his fingers to paint the sunrise. He was
very pleased w i t h the result, and started experimenting
w i t h other pictures. Now, he sends his friends a different
flower picture every morning. They love it!
Fresh Flowers is o n at the Fondation Pierre Berge,
Yves Saint Laurent in Paris u n t i l January 30th. The
exhibition shows the drawings Hockney made o n an
iPhone, and the pictures he drew o n an iPad. The gallery
is open f r o m 11 a.m. to 6 p . m . f r o m Tuesday to Friday,
and admission costs €5. D o n ' t miss this show; it w i l l be a
bright moment i n your day.

S p e a k e r 1 W h e n I was 17,1 went o n holiday w i t h my
parents to Brittany, in France. M y parents rented a
lovely house o n the beach, and the weather was great.
We went for a delicious meal for my birthday, but I was
miserable. I wanted to be w i t h my friends and I didn't
smile once i n t w o weeks!
S p e a k e r 2 A few years ago, I went to visit an old school
friend, but I didn't enjoy the weekend at all. A t school
we got o n really well, but now she has t w o small
children so she didn't want to go out. I spent a very
boring t w o days i n her house watching TV. I don't
t h i n k I'm going to visit her again.
S p e a k e r 3 It's really hot where we live, so we always
try to go on vacation where it's cool. Last year, we
booked a vacation i n Sweden, but we arrived i n the
middle o f a heat wave. It was awful because there was
no air-conditioning anywhere. We just sat i n cafes and
argued all day. We can do that at home!
S p e a k e r 4 W h e n I finished university, I went o n a
cruise around the Mediterranean w i t h some friends
f r o m my course. We wanted to celebrate the end
o f our exams. As soon as we left the p o r t , I started
feeling seasick. I spent the whole week i n bed, and I
hated every m i n u t e o f the cruise.
S p e a k e r 5 Three years ago, I broke up w i t h my
boyfriend, so I decided to go o n an expensive vacation
on my o w n to the Seychelles. Unfortunately, the travel
agent didn't tell me that the islands were popular w i t h
couples on their honeymoon. Everywhere I looked,
there were people holding hands and I felt very lonely.

Jenny W h a t shall we do this afternoon, Matt?
M a t t I know! Let's have a look at that box o f photos my
aunt gave me yesterday... Here it is.. .Oh, look at that!
Jenny Who's that?
M a t t That's my grandfather. A n d that's my
grandmother behind h i m on the right. She's the one
in the flowery dress. It was just after they got married,
but before they had any children. M y aunt told me all
about this photo a few years ago.
Jenny So, where are they?
M a t t Well, as you know my dad is Spanish. M y
grandparents lived i n the centre o f M a d r i d , and this
photo was taken in the district where they lived.
Jenny What's going on exactly?
M a t t Well, there's a festival there called 'La Paloma'. It
takes place i n the middle o f August every year, and it
still happens now. There are lots o f stalls selling food
and also stalls where you can w i n a prize.
Jenny So, what was your grandfather t r y i n g to win?
M a t t He was t r y i n g to w i n a bracelet for my
grandmother. He was shooting at a target on the stall
and all those people were watching h i m .
Jenny Do you know any o f the other people in the photo?
Matt N o , I don't. But I t h i n k they all lived near my
grandfather.
Jenny W h o took the photo?
M a t t The man on the stall. The photo was included in
the price. You had three chances to hit the target and
you got the photo for free.
Jenny It's a lovely photo. I t h i n k your granddad was very
good-looking!

P r e s e n t e r Hello, and welcome to the programme.
Today, we're looking at lucky escapes, and Nick
W i l l i a m s f r o m the news desk is here to tell us some
amazing stories. Nick?
N i c k H i Gloria. Well, my First story is about a tourist
who fell i n t o a volcano. Maureen Evason was walking
at the top o f the Teide volcano i n Tenerife, when she
tripped and fell. She fell 27 metres u n t i l she hit a tree,
which stopped her fall and saved her life. The rescue
operation took nearly four hours, and after that
Maureen spent t w o months i n hospital before she
could go home.
Presenter Lucky Maureen! W h a t else have you got
for us?
N i c k Joseph Rabadue had a lucky escape when he was at
home watching TV. Joseph was sitting on the floor, so
his dad told h i m to go and sit o n the sofa. Five minutes
later, a lorry crashed into their living room, and threw
the family television into the air. The T V then landed
on the exact spot where Joseph had been on the floor
before.
P r e s e n t e r What a lucky escape! D o you have any more?
N i c k Yes, just one more for now. One Saturday
m o r n i n g , Barry McRoy was leaving a cafe when two
men came i n . The men were fighting, and one o f them
had a gun. The man fired, and the bullet hit Barry in
the chest. Luckily, he had a D V D i n the pocket o f his
jacket at the time, and the D V D stopped the bullet.
Barry McRoy is a very lucky man.
Presenter Absolutely! So, now it's time for you,
the listeners, to call i n and tell us about your o w n

P r e s e n t e r Hello and welcome to The World ofWords.
Today, we're going to look at word games, so let's start
w i t h the most popular o f them all: Scrabble. Ricky (ones
from the National Scrabble Association is here to tell us
all about it. Ricky, who actually invented the game?
Immigration O f f i c e r What is the purpose o f your
visit, M r Green?
Passenger I'm going to stay w i t h a friend.
Immigration O f f i c e r A n d how long are vou going to
R i c k y Well, it was an American called A l f r e d Mosher
Butts. Butts was an unemployed arch itect, and i n his
free time he did a lot o f crosswords. These crosswords
gave h i m the idea for a game which he called Lexico.
The game had the same letter tiles as Scrabble, but no
board. Players used the letter tiles to make words. They
scored by adding up the points o n each o f the letter
riles. Later, Butts introduced a board, and a set o f rules
and changed the name to Criss-Cross Words.
stay i n San Francisco?
Passenger For three weeks.
P r e s e n t e r H o w did Butts decide how many points to
give each letter?
Immigration O f f i c e r Can I have a contact telephone
R i c k y He counted how many times each letter appeared
on the front page o f the New York Times. Then,
depending on the frequency o f each letter, he gave it
between one and ten points. The most common letters,
like the vowels, got only one point because they are easier
to use. There are more o f these letters i n the game. There
was only one tile for each o f the least common letters, for
example Q and Z , which got ten points.
Dialogue 3
Immigration O f f i c e r Can I see your passport
please, sir?
Passenger Here you are.

next week.
Dawn Yes, I am. A n d I'm really looking forward to i t .
Chris What are you going to do?
Dawn I'm going Interrailing w i t h a friend.
Chris Interrailing? I did that when I was a student. I
travelled around Europe w i t h very little money, not
much food, and no sleep. It was f u n , but I don't want
to do it again.
Dawn A h , but you see Interrailing as an adult is very
different.
Chris Really? In what way?
Dawn Well, you can travel first class now, and you don't
have to go for a whole m o n t h .
Chris How long are you going for?
Dawn I wanted to go for t w o weeks, but work's so busy
at the moment... so just a week.
Chris A n d which countries are you visiting?
P r e s e n t e r So, when did Butts' original game become
the modern game o f Scrabble?
R i c k y Well, i n 1948, Butts met a businessman called
James Brunot, who designed a new board and changed
the name o f the game to Scrabble. Then i n 1952, the
president o f Macy's, the famous New York department
store, discovered the game on holiday, and loved it so
much he placed a large order. Butts and Brunot knew
they couldn't produce enough Scrabble sets for Macy's,
and so they sold the rights to the game to another
manufacturer. Today, Scrabble is sold i n 121 countries
i n 29 different languages.
P r e s e n t e r W h a t a story, Ricky! T h a n k you for sharing
it w i t h us.
R i c k y M y pleasure.

S p e a k e r 1 Housework? Me? N o , that's my mum's job.
She on ly goes to work t w o days a week, so she has
enough time to cook and clean and things like that. I go
to school and then I see my friends, so I'm too busy to
do housework. M y dad goes out to work every day, so
he doesn't have time either.
S p e a k e r 2 Well, I try and help my m u m when I can. I
make mv bed when I get up i n the m o r n i n g and I always
lav the table for dinner. I usually tidv my room, but mv
m u m is the one that cleans it. Apart f r o m that, I ' m not
at home very much, so I don't do anything else.
S p e a k e r 3 O h yes, everyone i n my family helps w i t h
the housework. There are four o f us and we're all very
busy. D u r i n g the week, my m u m or my dad cook the
dinner, and my brother and I do the washing up. We do
the cleaning together on Saturday mornings.
S p e a k e r 4 It's true - 1 don't do much housework, but
I love cooking. I don't have time to cook d u r i n g the
week, but I do all the cooking at the weekends. M y
m u m does all the cleaning, though. She says she
doesn't m i n d i t .
S p e a k e r 5 We have a cleaning lady who comes i n every
day and she does all our housework. She makes the beds,
cleans the floors, and tidies our rooms - she even does
the ironing! I'm not sure who does the shopping, but the
fridge is always full. That's the important thing!

Presenter Those listeners who enjoy going shopping
w i l l be interested to hear our next news story. It's
taken six years and 1.45 b i l l i o n pounds to build, but
at last the Westfield shopping centre has opened i n
Stratford, i n East London. We sent our reporter, Juliet
Redditch, over to take a look at what is now Europe's
largest urban shopping centre. Juliet, what's it like in
Westfield right now?
Juliet Well, Terry, there are crowds o f people
everywhere, especially outside the stores w h i c h
have special opening offers. Some shops have called
security staff to help them control the queues.
P r e s e n t e r Just how big is Westfield, Juliet?
Juliet O h , it's really very big! There are t w o enormous
department stores, a huge supermarket, and 300
smaller shops. You can spend all day here i f you want
to. I haven't decided where I'm going to have lunch, but
there are 70 different places to eat - it's amazing!
P r e s e n t e r W h a t effect has the shopping centre had o n
the local area, Juliet?
Juliet Well, this is an area where there are many people
out o f work. The shopping centre has created 10,000
new jobs, so it has really helped.
Presenter H o w did vou get to Westfield today?
Juliet I came by car. There's an enormous car park w i t h
space for 5,000 cars. But you can also get here by bus,
train, and by the underground - it's the best connected
shopping centre i n the country.
P r e s e n t e r Now, Juliet, the big question is.. .have you
bought anything yet?
Juliet N o , I haven't. I was just looking around, really. I
saw some trousers I liked, but I didn't buv them. There
were too many people i n the changing rooms to try
them o n !
P r e s e n t e r O K , thanks Juliet, and now onto a news story
o f a different k i n d . . .
4,C»)
S p e a k e r 1 Last weekend was really awful. M y boyfriend
and I went camping i n the Lake District w i t h some
friends, and it rained the whole time. It was really
depressing. We had to stav i n the tent and play cards
all day, which was O K to begin w i t h , but then my
boyfriend got bored. He started complaining about the
weather, then about our friends, and finally about me!
We had a terrible argument, and i n the end we came
home o n Saturday night. I'm never going camping
again!
S p e a k e r 2 M y weekend was fantastic. I took my wife
to Paris, which is somewhere she has wanted to visit
her whole life. We stayed i n a wonderful hotel, i n a
beautiful old b u i l d i n g overlooking the river. The viewwas incredible. We ate some really great food, and
although it was quite cold, we had a very nice walk
around the city. The best bit was that it was a surprise
for my wife: I met her after work on Friday and we
drove straight to the airport. She had no idea where we
were going!
S p e a k e r 3 I haven't got much money at the moment, so
I didn't do anything special this weekend. But actually
I had a really good time! I visited a local museum w i t h
some friends. A l l the museums here are free, and they
have some interesting exhibitions about places like
Egypt, Rome, and India. We then watched t w o o f my
favourite D V D s on Saturday night, and o n Sunday I
invited my parents to my flat and I cooked dinner for
them. N o t a bad weekend, really.
S p e a k e r 4 M y brother and his wife stayed w i t h us this
weekend. They have three children, and we spent
the whole time playing w i t h them. We took them
s w i m m i n g , we went to the zoo, and on Sunday we
went to the park. They have so much energv! A n d
they're really noisv - especially i n the m o r n i n g when
they wake up, which is usually around 6 o'clock. I was
completely exhausted bv Sunday night, but it was
lovely to see them.

it isn't as busy.
P r e s e n t e r Thank vou tor that, Paula. Croatia certainlv
sounds like a very interesting holiday destination.
Speaker 1 Well, I haven't been here long, so I haven't
had time to make many friends yet. A f t e r I get home
from work, I spend most o f the evening online
chatting w i t h friends and family back home. Twice
a week, I have classes to try and learn the language.
Most o f my colleagues speak reallv good English, but I
haven't been out w i t h them yet.
Speaker 2 I guess vou could say I'm a bit depressed at
the moment. Time goes reallv slowly when vou've got
nothing to do. I spend more time sleeping now, and I
have a lot o f time to do the housework. It doesn't take
all day to make the bed and clean mv r o o m , so I get
quite bored. I hope I f i n d another job soon because I
really need the money.

A l i c e O h , right. U m , I think I'm a very positive person.

Programme.
Now, one o f the most popular t o u r i s t destinations
these days is the Republic o f Croatia i n the Balkans.
Paula W i l c o x f r o m the N a t i o n a l Tourist Board is
here to tell us all about it. Paula, what's so special
about Croatia?
P a u l a O h , there's just so much to see and do there.
First o f all, there are historic cities like Zagreb - the
capital - and D u b r o v n i k to visit.
P r e s e n t e r Let's start w i t h Zagreb. W h a t is there to
see there?
P a u l a W e l l , Zagreb is i n the n o r t h o f the c o u n t r y on
the River Sava. It's b o t h an old citv and a m o d e r n
one at the same t i m e . There are lots o f elegant
restaurants and fashionable shops there, and the
city has lots o f museums - the most i m p o r t a n t one
is the Archaeological M u s e u m .
P r e s e n t e r W h a t about D u b r o v n i k ?
P a u l a D u b r o v n i k is much smaller than Zagreb - the
population is only about 4 3 , 0 0 0 . It's i n the south
o f Croatia o n the A d r i a t i c coast. Inside the old citv
walls there are palaces, churches, and a Baroque
cathedral to visit. I n my o p i n i o n , D u b r o v n i k is one
o f the most beautiful cities i n the w o r l d .
P r e s e n t e r A p a r t f r o m the cities, w h a t else w o u l d vou
recommend?
P a u l a The beaches and the islands. There are wonderful
beaches on the Adriatic Sea - Croatia's coast is very
long - and it has more than a thousand islands.
P r e s e n t e r H o w can vou get to the islands?
P a u l a Well, the best place to get a ferry is Split, another
city on the coast which is larger than Dubrovnik, but also
has some wonderful monuments. There are a number
o f ferries, which take you to many different islands,
where you can do water sports or just relax on the beach.

Matt Did you?
A m y Yes. So my boss w i l l ask the other people i n my

S p e a k e r 1 I was on holiday, and I was looking round a
famous palace, when a man came up to me and asked
me to take a photo o f h i m . He gave me his camera, but
it wasn't w o r k i n g properly. W h e n I gave it back to h i m .
he dropped it on the floor and it broke. I picked it up
and went to give it to the man, but he was gone. Then I
discovered my wallet was missing.
S p e a k e r 2 W h e n I went abroad last vear for a business
trip, I didn't have time to get any local monev before
I left. So after I landed, I went straight to the bank to
get three hundred euros. 1 was i n a hurry because 1 had
a train to catch. The cashier slowiv counted out the
notes and when he stopped, I picked them up. W h e n I
got to the train station I realized later that 1 only had a
hundred euros.
S p e a k e r 3 W h e n we were o n holiday, t w o men knocked
on the door o f our apartment. They were wearing

One o f them came i n to look around while the other
stayed bv the door. Unfortunately, while we were
talking to the first man, the second man took our
wallets and cameras f r o m the bedroom.
S p e a k e r 4 I was having a problem using the ticket
machine in the metro, when someone came up to help
me. He told me how much money I needed and then
offered to put it i n the machine for me. I counted out
the money, but he said it wasn't enough. I gave h i m
some more money and I got my ticket. Unfortunately,
I paid ten times the price for it!
S p e a k e r 5 1 was waiting at a bus stop, when this

and she invited me to go to a club w i t h her. We had a

an incredibly expensive bill. I started to complain
but then I noticed four big men at the door who were
looking at me. O f course I paid the bill.

Presenter Hello and welcome to the programme. Do
you ever have the same dream night after night? These
dreams are called 'recurring dreams', and psychologist
D r W i l l i a m Harris is i n the studio today to tell us all
about them. G o o d morning, D r Harris.
D r H a r r i s Hello.
Presenter D r Harris, which is the most common
recurring dream?
D r H a r r i s Well, top o f the list is the dream where
someone or something is running after you. Either it's
a person or a dangerous animal, like a bull or a lion. The
dream means that there is something i n your life that
you don't want to face. It can be a feeling, a conflict or a
memory, for example, but whatever it is, it's something
that you don't want to deal w i t h .
Presenter Right. What's the next dream on the list?
D r H a r r i s It's the one where you are falling for what
seems like a very long time. Falling is a definite sign
that you are out o f control. You have lost direction in
vour life and vou don't know what to do.
Presenter Yes, I've had that dream before. Not recently,
though. Anyway, what other recurring dreams are there?
Dr Harris This is another fairly common dream.
You're trying to get somewhere but you get lost on the
way, and vou don't know where you are. People often
have this dream when they're going through a period
of change. It show s that thev don't want to accept the
new situation.
Presenter O K , D r Harris. Have you got any more
recurring dreams for us?
Dr Harris Yes, there are two. The first dream is a good
one. Some people have a recurring dream that they
are flying through the air. They are enjoying it, and
enjoying looking down on the world below. This
shows that they are feeling free, possiblv because they
have solved a problem thev had, or they have escaped
from a difficult situation in their life.
Presenter A n d the last dream?
Dr Harris This one isn't so good. It's a feeling o f being
trapped. Maybe vou are in a lift that is trapped between
floors and you can't get out. This dream means that
there is something in your life that is making you feel
unhappy, and you feel that vou cannot change it.
Presenter D r Harris, that was verv interesting. Thank
you for talking to us.
Dr Harris You're welcome.

Dave Oh. that's ridiculous!
Jane What is?
Dave They've decided to ban jokes about mothers-in-law!
Jane Who has?
Dave The council, o f all people. They've w r i t t e n a
leaflet for workers who have to deal w i t h the public,
and it savs that mother-in-law jokes are 'offensive'.
Jane Well. I suppose they are, reallv. I mean, there are
a lot o f mothers-in-law out there, and the jokes are
about them.
Dave No, but it's just a bit o f fun, isn't it? I mean, I think
it's reallv important to have a sense o f humour. It's
good for you - it makes you feel better.
Jane That's easy for you to say, isn't it? You're a man, so
vou'll never be a mother-in-law. I w i l l , one day.
Dave Yes, but you won't be my mother-in-law, w i l l vou?
Sorry, I was only joking!
Jane Ha ha.. .Doesit sav anything else about the jokes?
Dave Yes. It says thev show 'disrespect for parents*.
Jane O K . Well, mavbe thev do. Young people are
healthy, fit, and attractive. It's easy for them to laugh at
older people, don't you think?
Dave Oh, come o n ! These jokes about mothers-in-law
have been around since Roman times.
Jane Where did you get that idea from?
Dave It savs here that there's a Roman writer called hang on a minute - called 'Juvenal' who said in the first
century A . D . - wait, listen to this - 'it's impossible to
be happy when one's mother-in-law is still alive'. Ha
ha! That's classic!
Jane U m .
Dave A n d all the best comedians tell jokes about
mothers-in-law, too. 1 t h i n k they're funny.
Jane Like I said, that's because you're a man. A n d the
comedians you're talking about are also men. It's
just another example o f the sexist world we live i n . I
mean, there aren't many jokes about fathers-in-law,
are there?

the window, and sing along to whatever comes o n . I
don't do this in the middle o f t o w n , o f course; only i f
I'm d r i v i n g through the country, but I must say I find it
really relaxing.
S p e a k e r 3 I've always really enjoyed singing w i t h the
kids I teach - I ' m a p r i m a r y school teacher. Young
children love singing, and they like it even more i f the
songs have actions. It's amazing how much they learn
f r o m songs - there are alphabet songs, counting songs,
and all sorts. We always have lots o f f u n when we're
singing together.
S p e a k e r 4 Actually. I can't sing very well at all, so I'm
always really embarrassed i f I have to sing i n public.
W h e n I was at secondary school, I had to be i n the
school choir, but I never actually sang. I just mouthed
the words and pretended to sing.
S p e a k e r 5 W h e n I ' m out w i t h my friends, we sometimes
go to a karaoke i n the centre o f t o w n . It's one o f my
favourite places, as we always have a good time. We
spend most o f the evening singing together and nobody
seems to m i n d i f we do it badly. In fact, it's better i f we
do sing badly as it makes everybody laugh.
7 O))
P r e s e n t e r ... A n d here's some good news for one o f the
world's endangered languages. There are nearly six
thousand languages in the world today, and experts say
that nearly half o f them are dying out. That means that
around three thousand languages w i l l disappear in the
next century or so. One language in danger o f dying
out is the Cherokee language, spoken by the Cherokee
people o f N o r t h America. Or at least it was in danger
u n t i l the leaders o f the tribe decided to do something
about it. They got worried when they realized that only
8,000 o f the 290,000 Cherokee people i n the world
today actually spoke the language and thev came up
w i t h a plan. They got in touch w i t h the electronics
company, Apple, and asked them to include Cherokee
on the official list o f languages used on their products.
A t first, it seemed impossible that Apple w ould take
any notice o f the Cherokee, as their products already
had fifty languages on them. The big surprise came in
September 2006, when the Apple iOS 4.1 operating
system was released w i t h Cherokee on the official list
o f languages. Since then, the Cherokee people have
been able to use their language o n all Mac computers,
iPhones, the i Pod touch, and the i Pad. These devices
were popular w i t h the younger members o f the tribe
from the start, but now the older members are taking an
interest, too - especially those who use mobile phones
So, it looks as i f the Cherokee language won't die out
just yet after all. A n d i f the language stays alive, the
culture w i l l stay alive, too, something that the leaders
o f the tribe w i l l be very happy about.

Speaker 1 I don't usually talk about my problems, but
i f something's going w r o n g , I sometimes mention it
to Phil. He's o n my basketball team, and we get along
O K . In fact, he's the one who introduced me to the girl
I'm dating at the moment.
S p e a k e r 2 The person who I talk to most is my sister.
We don't look like each other at all, but we both have
very similar personalities. She's a really good listener,
and she always gives me good advice. She sometimes
tells me her problems too, and I try to help her.
S p e a k e r 3 M y friend Jennv is on my course at
university, and I tell her absolutely everything. We're
quite different, which means we often think in different
ways. Sometimes we argue, but we're never angry w i t h
each other for long - just until one o f us apologizes.
Speaker I like singing while I'm having a shower. The
bathroom is a great place to sing because nobody can
hear you - at least, 1 hope nobody can hear, because I
sing really loudly! I usually sing very old classic songs,
which I'd never sing in public!
Speaker 4 The person who understands me most is
my friend John, w h o lives next door. We've grown up
together, so he knows me very well. M y main problem
at the moment is mv job, which 1 hate. John thinks I
should look for a new one, and he's probably right.
Speaker 2 I always feel like singing when I'm alone i n
my car on a summer's day. I t u r n up the radio, open
S p e a k e r 5 M y gran lives w i t h us, and I spend a lot o f
time talking to her. Although she's older than me, she's
always interested i n what I have to say. We've got quite a
lot i n common, and some things that have happened to
me also happened to her when she was young.

P r e s e n t e r Now, everyone loves travelling, and we all
enjoy telling stories about the places we've been to.
But what happens i f there's an earthquake while you're
away? Travel expert, Monica Fields, is here i n the
studio w i t h us today to give us some tips on what to do
in a natural disaster. First o f all, Monica, is it possible
to avoid them?
M o n i c a Well, no, actually, it isn't. Nobody really knows
exactly when a disaster like a forest fire or a blizzard
w i l l happen, so you can't really avoid them. What you
can do, however, is be prepared.
Presenter H o w can you do that?
M o n i c a Well, first o f all, i f you plan to visit a region
where there are natural disasters at certain times o f
the year, try not to go at that time. For example, there
are often bad storms, hurricanes, or cyclones in the
Caribbean in May and June, so don't go there then.
Presenter That sounds sensible. What else can you do?
M o n i c a It's really i m p o r t a n t to buy travel insurance
before vou go. This w i l l pay for extra nights in a hotel, for
example, it you can't fly home and have to stay in your
resort longer than you had planned. I never understand
why some people don't take out travel insurance.
Presenter Right. So, what should vou do i f a natural
disaster actually happens while you're abroad?
M o n i c a The first thing vou should do is to stay calm
and be patient.
Presenter That sounds easy, Monica, but natural
disasters can be very frightening, can't they?
M o n i c a Yes, o f course, but i f you panic, things w i l l only
get worse. Secondly, you need to contact your family and
friends at home as soon as possible. I f they hear about
the disaster on the news, they'll be incredibly worried.
Presenter Yes, I can see that. What else should you do?
M o n i c a Well, it's always a good idea to know what
your airline w i l l do i f there's a natural disaster. I f you
are f l y i n g to a country where natural disasters are
frequent, you should ask your airline when you book
vour ticket it they w i l l change your ticket i f vou need to
leave the country quickly, or i f you have to stay longer
because there is a natural disaster.
Presenter Thank you for joining us, Monica, and
thanks for your useful advice.

E w a n D i d you watch T V last night, Helen?
H e l e n No, 1 didn't. What was on?
E w a n There was a reallv interesting cooking
programme on after dinner.
H e l e n Was there? W h a t made it so good?
E w a n Well, it was a sort o f experiment, really. They
were t r y i n g to answer the question: do men and
women cook differently?
H e l e n Reallv? So what did they do to try to find the
answer?
E w a n Thev invited a male cook and a female cook to
prepare five different courses of a meal. Both cooks had
to use the same main ingredient for each course, but thev
didn't have to make the same dish. Then, thev served the
dishes to a panel o f judges, who tasted them, and decided
i f they were made by the man or the w o m a n .
H e l e n W h o were the judges?
E w a n Well, there were two men and t w o women. They
were all food experts - either chefs themselves or
restaurant critics.
H e l e n W h a t about the cooks? Were they professionals,
too?
E w a n Yes. They were f r o m t w o o f the best restaurants
i n the country.
H e l e n A n d what sort o f things did they cook?
E w a n A l l kinds o f things really, but the only ones
I remember are a meat dish w i t h garlic and a bright
pink dessert.
H e l e n What was so special about those t w o dishes?
E w a n 1 remember them because the judges had real
problems in deciding i f thev were made bv the male chef
or the female chef. I n the end, they all got it w r o n g !
H e l e n So, did they manage to answer the question,
then? D o men cook differently f r o m women?
E w a n N o t really. The only conclusion they came to was
that it was impossible to tell i f a particular dish was
made by a man or a w o m a n . That's all, reallv.
H e l e n So, it was a bit o f a waste o f time then, really.
E w a n N o , it wasn't! I really enjoyed the programme,
even i f they didn't answer the question!

Newsreader A n d our final story o n tonight's
programme is about an Australian diver w h o has
survived a shark attack. 46-year-old Eric Nerhus
was fishing o f f the coast o f Cape Howe, New South
Wales, when a great white shark attacked h i m . He
was under the water at the time, and he didn't see the
animal s w i m m i n g towards h i m . M r Nerhus's head,
shoulders, and one o f his arms ended up in the shark's
mouth, but, fortunately, he was wearing a heavy metal
vest. W h e n the shark tried to bite the man i n half, its
teeth hit the vest and not his body. M r Nerhus knew
he had to do something, so he felt for the shark's eye
w i t h the hand o f his other arm. W h e n he found it, he
surprised the animal by pressing his fingers into its
eye. The shark reacted by opening its mouth, giving
M r Nerhus a chance to escape. Despite his injuries,
Eric managed to s w i m up to the surface o f the water.
His son pulled h i m onto his boat, and took h i m quickly
to the shore. Meanwhile, another friend called the
emergency services. M r Nerhus was f l o w n to hospital
by helicopter. He had deep cuts all over his body and a
broken nose, but he was very lucky to be alive. Attacks
by great white sharks usuallv result i n death because
o f their size and strength. The shark that attacked M r
Nerhus was over three metres long.

M e t r o G o l d w y n Mayer and at the age o f 16, she plaved
Dorothy in The Wizard ofOz. The f i l m was extremely
successful, and she w o n a children's Oscar for her

Presenter Hello, and welcome to the programme.
Today, we've got psychologist, D r C h r i s Hopper, i n
the studio w i t h us to answer your questions about
phobias. Hello, Chris.
C h r i s Good m o r n i n g .
Presenter A n d our first caller is Cynthia Sharp f r o m
Dundee. What's your question, Cynthia?
C y n t h i a U m , hello, D r Hopper. U m , my question is
actually about our son, James. He's six years old, and
he had a bad experience w i t h a dog last night.
C h r i s I'm sorry to hear that, Cynthia. W h a t exactly
happened?
C y n t h i a Well, we were outside a neighbour's house,
and, u m , I was chatting w i t h the m u m when one o f
their dogs ran out. It was a big dog, u m , and it came
r u n n i n g out o f the house barking. James panicked, and
tried to hide behind me, but the dog jumped o n h i m
and bit h i m . It wasn't a serious injury, but we're very
worried that he'll be afraid o f dogs now. We don't want
h i m to get a phobia. W h a t should we do?
C h r i s Well, Cynthia, you're quite right to be worried
about this incident because, cynophobia, that is, a fear
o f dogs, is often caused by a bad experience w i t h a dog
as a child. The best t h i n g you can do is to give your son
a positive experience w i t h a different dog as soon as
possible. I f you have any friends w h o have a quiet and
friendly dog, go and visit them. Let vour son touch the
dog i f he wants to and don't remind h i m about his bad
experience.
Presenter That sounds like good advice, Chris. A n d our

Spencer was testing some new radar equipment. He
had a chocolate bar i n his pocket, and while he was
standing i n front o f the machine, it melted. A f t e r
that, he also tried using the microwaves f r o m the

D o u g Next is something that is found i n hospitals all

physicist called W i l h e l m Roentgen was experimenting
w i t h electrical rays in a dark r o o m . He was directing
them through a glass tube covered w i t h black paper.
Suddenly, he saw a light on a screen on the wall and he
realized that the rays could pass through the glass and
the paper. After that, he experimented w i t h his o w n
hand, and found that he could see the bones. The first
X-ray ever made was an image o f Roentgen's wife's
hand - you can even see her wedding r i n g !
P r e s e n t e r That's fascinating, Doug. We've got time for
one more.
D o u g M a n y different kinds o f food were discovered
by accident, Janet, and I've chosen something that we
call 'crisps', but Americans call 'potato chips'. These
were invented by a chef called G eorge C r u m , w h o
was w o r k i n g i n a restaurant near Saratoga Springs,
New York. A customer complained that the chips he
was served were too thick. The chef was angry about
this, so he fried some very t h i n potatoes and covered
them w i t h salt. The customer loved them, and after
that 'Saratoga chips' became popular all over the USA.
Eventually, they were produced for people to eat
at home.
P r e s e n t e r That was all verv fascinating, Doug. Thanks
for joining us.

T o n y Amy, did you study foreign languages at
secondary school?
A m y Yes, I did. Actually, I used to be quite good at
languages.
T o n y W h i c h ones did you study?
A m y Well, I did French for five years, then I did German
for six years, and I studied Spanish for a year i n my
lunch break.
T o n y A n d how much French can you remember?
A m y N o t much! But I can remember my German,
because I did it for my degree at Cambridge. W h y all
the questions, Tony?
T o n y Well, I've just read this article about the state o f
language learning in schools i n the U K, and it isn't
looking good. It says that adults only remember about
seven words f r o m the languages they studied at school.
A m y O n l y seven words? That isn't verv good, is it?
W h a t sort o f words do they remember?
T o n y C o m m o n words, like Hello, Goodbye, Please,
Thankyou,
beer, one, two and three, and the question
Doyou speak English?
A m y So, what happens when people are abroad? D o
they practise the language?
T o n y N o t at all. I n fact, the article suggests that people
often choose not to go o n holiday to countries where
they have to w o r r v about language problems.
A m y That's probably because they're too lazy to learn
a language.
T o n y N o , it isn't that. The article says it's because they're
too embarrassed to t r y and speak it.
A m y O K . So which languages do pupils study at school
today?
T o n y Hang on a minute, there's a list here somewhere...
Here it is. It says 65% o f pupils study French, 25%
study German, 22 % Spanish, and 2% Italian. Polish is
becoming more popular, too.
A m y And what are schools going to do about the problem?
T o n y Well, first of all. they're going to introduce language
classes for children in primary schools. And then they're
going to start offering languages f r o m outside Europe.
for example Mandarin Chinese and Urdu.
A m y That sounds quite d i f f i c u l t . Anyway, Tony, which
languages did you use to study at school?
T o n y O n l v French. A n d I was terrible at it!

Speaker 1 I made a bad decision once when I was
travelling home to Plymouth f r o m university i n
Manchester, a journey o f nearly 450 k m . The choice
was going by t r a i n or by bus, and I opted for the train
as it was quicker. Unfortunately, the train broke down
on the way, so i n the end I took t w o hours longer than
I expected.
Speaker 2 The worst decision I ever made was giving
my son a skateboard for his tenth birthday. O n the
morning o f his birthday, we went down to the park to
try it out. Sadly, he fell o f f the board as soon as he got
on it, and broke his a r m . We had to cancel his birthday
party, and we spent the whole day i n hospital instead.
S p e a k e r 3 I had t w o interviews and both companies
offered me a job. In the first job, thev offered me more
money, but it was a long way from where I live - an hour
travelling every day The second job was less money,
but it was very near my house. In the end, I chose the
second job instead, and I ' m very happy I did, because
last m o n t h the first company closed down.
Speaker 4 O n one occasion, I had to decide once
between a good friend o f mine and a boy 1 really liked.
I was going to a concert w i t h my friend, and then this
boy asked me to go to the cinema w i t h h i m on the same
night. I n the end, I said no to the bov, and went to the
concert w i t h my friend. I found out later that the boy
already had a girlfriend, so I think I made the right
decision.
S p e a k e r 5 You won't believe what happened to me!
I used to play the lottery w i t h some colleagues at
work. One day, I decided that I was fed up w i t h never
winning, so I stopped playing. M y colleagues carried
on without me, and just one week later, they had the
winning numbers! They won a lot o f money, and I
didn't get any o f it!
11 A)))
Speaker 1 The worst loser I know is my m u m . We often
used to play cards together when I was little, and i f
my mum was losing, it was safer to stop playing. She
was always happy when she was w i n n i n g , but when
she was losing, you could see her getting angrier and
angrier until she exploded. Sometimes, she used to go
out of the room, because she was so upset!
Speaker 2 i once had a friend who was a bad loser
at tennis. In fact, we stopped talking to each other
because o f a tennis match. We were about twenty at
the time, and on this occasion we were arguing over a
point. I said the ball was out and she said it was i n . I n
the end, she just threw her racket into the net and left.
We've never spoken since.
Speaker 3 I have to be very careful at work when we're
talking about football. I have a colleague who gets
really upset when his team loses, and he hates it i f you
make a joke about it. I tried it once, and he just stood
up, walked out, and closed the door w i t h a bang. He
didn't speak to me for days after that, so I don't t h i n k
I'll try it again.
Speaker 4 M y son is a very bad loser, i n fact he always
has been. He's 12 now, but he still hates losing. We
used to play board games together when he was
little, but he always used to cry i f he didn't w i n . I
had to choose between letting h i m w i n all the time,
or making h i m upset i f I w o n . I n the end, I stopped
playing that kind o f game w i t h h i m .
Speaker 5 One o f the guvs who plavs basketball w i t h
me gets incredibly upset d u r i n g games, and he spends
most of the time shouting at the other players. He's a
really nervous person at the best o f times, but when
we're losing, it really is too much. The referee throws
him off the court at least twice a m o n t h , and once our
coach told h i m to go home.

Interviewer Can I ask you about your job, Graham?
G r a h a m Yes, o f course. G o ahead.
Interviewer What time do you go to bed?
G r a h a m Well, I don't often get home before six o'clock
in the morning, and it usually takes me a little while to
relax. It's probably about seven by the time I go to sleep.
Interviewer A n d what time do you have to get up again?
G r a h a m I usually get up at one o'clock, to have lunch
w i t h my family. A f t e r that, I go back to bed again for
an hour or so. u n t i l about three o'clock.
Interviewer D o you need an alarm clock to wake up?
G r a h a m No, I never use one. I wake up the first time
when my children come home from school for lunch.
The second time, my wife wakes me up. That's when I
get up properly.
Interviewer H o w do you feel when you wake up?
G r a h a m It depends on the day, really. I f I've only worked
for a day or two, I'm full o f energy, but i f it's after the
fifth or sixth night in a row, I'm absolutely exhausted.
That's when 1 find it really hard to get out o f bed.
Interviewer What do you do about meals, Graham?
G r a h a m Well, like I said, my first meal o f the day is
what you would call lunch. Then, I have dinner at about
midnight w i t h some other drivers i n a cafe. W h e n I get
home i n the morning, I have something light, like a ham
sandwich or some toast before I go to bed.
Interviewer Would you like to change your w o r k i n g
hours, Graham?
G r a h a m I f I changed my w o r k i n g hours, I wouldn't
earn as much money! There's a lot more work at night,
because people go out for dinner and to the theatre or
clubs, and then it's late and they need to get home, and
they don't want to drive because they've usually had
a drink or two. I quite enjoy my job, really, because I
meet lots of interesting people.

Presenter A n d to finish o f f today's programme, we're
going to take a look at some famous twins. Let's start
w i t h probably the earliest set o f t w i n s i n history:
Romulus and Remus. Now, the legend says that they
were abandoned by their parents, because twins were
thought to b r i n g bad luck. Fortunately, they were
found bv a female wolf, who looked after them when
they were babies. According to legend, the boys grew
up, and later founded the city o f Rome. A f t e r some
time, they began to argue, and eventually Romulus
killed Remus. As Romulus was the only brother alive,
the city was called Rome after h i m .
A l a n W h o do you think gossips more, Jess? M e n or
women?
Let's move o n i n history to the 1950s, when a set o f
twins called the Kray Brothers caused a lot o f trouble
in London's East End. Ronnie and Reggie Kray were
both nightclub owners. They had expensive lifestyles,
and through their nightclubs they met several
American stars like Frank Sinatra and Judv Garland.
However, they were also incredibly violent gangsters,
and they became the leaders o f organized crime i n
the city. They were i nvolved i n many robberies and
murders, u n t i l they were eventually arrested i n 1969.
They were both sent to prison for life, and they both
died when they were i n their sixties.
O n a happier note, the youngest twins ever to become
famous are the Olsen twins. M a r y Kate and Ashley
Olsen were given the same role on the American T V
series Full House when they were only six months old.
They played the part o f a little girl, and they played the
same part for eight years. The producers used both sisters
to play the same part, so that they didn't break the law o n
the number o f hours a child could work. The show was
very popular w i t h American audiences. Today, the twins
have g r o w n up, and they have a fashion business.
A n d I'm afraid that's all we have time for. Join me,
Roy T h o m p s o n , at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for
another t w o hours o f Thompson's Choice. Bye for now.

N e w s r e a d e r A n d now it's time for the news.
Police have found the 82-year-old man w h o went
missing last Monday evening. Dennis Leighton was
found i n his car on the M 2 5 motorway. He had left
home o n Monday m o r n i n g to drive to his daughter's
house, a distance o f about 90 kilometres. However,
M r Leighton had got lost, and he had spent 30 hours
d r i v i n g round i n circles t r y i n g to f i n d the right exit.
M r Leighton had stopped at several service stations
to sleep, but he then carried o n driving. A f t e r being
treated i n hospital for hypothermia, he has finally
been reunited w i t h his family.
A tourist had a lucky escape yesterday while she was
doing a bungee j u m p o f f the Victoria Falls i n Zambia.
Twenty-two-year-old E r i n Langworthy fell into the
river because her bungee rope had broken when she
jumped. She landed i n the water w i t h her feet still tied
to the broken rope, and then she swam to safety. M s
Langworthy was taken straight to hospital after the
accident, but had no serious injuries.
A Swedish woman has found the white gold wedding
ring that she lost over 16 years ago. Lena Paahlsson
had taken o f f the ring while she was cooking w i t h her
daughters. W h e n she went to put it back o n again, it
had disappeared. That is. u n t i l yesterday, when she was
picking vegetables i n her garden, and she found the ring
around a carrot. The ring doesn't fit M r s Paahlsson any
more, but she is going to have it made bigger.
A n Australian woman had a frightening experience
last night, when she discovered an adult crocodile i n her
living room. Forty-two-year-old Jo Dodd got out o f bed
when she heard her dog barking. When she opened the
bedroom door, she saw a crocodile in the middle o f the
room. M r s Dodd woke her husband, who called the local
Crocodile Management Centre, and a crocodile catcher
came to take the animal away. The crocodile had escaped
f r o m a nearby crocodile farm earlier i n the week.
A n d that's all for now. I ' l l be back again at 9 o'clock
for the next news bulletin.
Jess Well. I gossip quite a lot w i t h my female colleagues
at w o r k , so I suppose that women are the biggest
gossips. W h a t do you think?
A l a n Yes, that's what I thought too, but it says here that
it's actually men who are the biggest gossips. That's
what the results o f this survey say, anyway.
Jess W h a t survey?
A l a n This one here i n the newspaper. It says the survey
was carried out by a telecommunications company.
They wanted to do research into gossiping for a new
service they're offering. The aim o f the survey was to
f i n d out what sort o f people enjoy gossiping, and how
much time thev spend doing it.
Jess So what did they find out?
A l a n Well, they had quite a big surprise. The study
showed that a f i f t h o f the men they interviewed said
they spent at least three hours a day gossiping.
Jess Wow! That's a lot! A n d where do they usually gossip?
A l a n Most o f them said they usually gossiped at work.
Hang o n . . .1 can give you the exact figures. Yes,
.. .55 per cent o f the men said they gossiped at work
compared to 46 per cent o f the women.
Jess Goodness! I didn't realize men had so much to say!
D i d they tell the researchers what they usually talked
about?
A l a n Yes. They said that their main topics o f
conversation were their women colleagues, and who i n
the company would get the next promotion.
Jess The bit about women colleagues doesn't surprise
me i n the least. So, what about the women i n the
survey? D i d they say what they talked about?
A l a n Yes, they did. Thev told the researchers that they
talked about the problems they were having i n their
families. They also chatted about what was happening
i n their favourite T V series.
Jess O K . So what about you, Alan? D o you ever gossip
at work?
A l a n What? Me? N o , never! I wouldn't dream o f it!

S p e a k e r 1 I used to watch a quiz show called
Mastermind. It was a very serious show, and the
quizmaster was Magnus Magnusson. Each o f the four
contestants had to answer t w o rounds o f questions:
firstly, on their specialist subject, for example,
Dickens, or the Second World War, and then on
general knowledge. The thing I remember most is the
quizmaster's catch phrase, 'I've started, so I'll finish.'
S p e a k e r 2 M y favourite quiz show is A Question of
Sport. It's been o n T V for years-since 1968, i n fact,
and, although I don't watch it any more, it's still very
popular. There are t w o teams w i t h the same captain
each time, and all o f the guests are sportsmen and
women. The teams have to answer questions about
sport, and the show is quite amusing, actually.
S p e a k e r 3 I used to watch Call my Bluff; a quiz show
about words. There were alwavs t w o teams made up
o f a captain and t w o celebrities. Each team was given a
word, a very unusual word, and the three team members
had to give a different definition - one was true and the
other t w o were false. The other team had to guess the
correct definition. It used to be quite funny.
S p e a k e r 4 I've always enjoyed the quiz show. Who wants
to be a Millionaire? It started i n the U K i n 1998, and it's
still on T V today. In each show, one contestant is asked
a series o f questions, and they have to choose the right
answer out o f four possible options. It's quite exciting,
really, as the contestant can w i n up to a m i l l i o n pounds
i f they're good.
S p e a k e r 5 M y favourite quiz show when I was a
teenager was Pop Quiz. It wasn't on for long - only a
couple o f vears - but I used to love it. There were t w o
teams made up o f a captain, who was the same person
each time, and some guests, who were all pop stars.
The teams had to answer different questions about pop
music and musicians, and I used to watch it every week.
