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.

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.

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 menu prices. Aquavit (65 E.55th St) 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.

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 . . . ' 5

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.

John Lennon and his sons

her daughter, L i z a M i n n e l l i . H o w old were they w h e n t h e y f i r s t p e r f o r m e d o n stage?

H Z ] On 8 December, 1980, one of John Lennon's fans shot 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. U n d e r l i n e f i v e w o r d s o r phrases y o u d o n ' t k n o w .

Where did you go to school?

Grenham House, a boarding school in Kent, and Wellington School, a private school in Somerset.

2 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.

4 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 taking it up professionally. Once I left Wellington, I wanted to become an actor and I didn't play nearly as much sport when I left school. 6

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 w h o received the class i n the m o r n i n g came back after a day of n o r m a l activities w i t h o u t h a v i n g a sleep.

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.

1 B») 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...

i c») 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.

2 A))) 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.

2 B») 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! M a t t That's what everyone says!

2 C))) 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 experiences. A n d here's our first caller.

Man 1 No, I had a sandwich on the plane. Woman 1 Well, let's go and f i n d the car. It isn't far. Man 1 Great! Dialogue 2 Ground staff Hello. Where are you f l y i n g to? Passenger To Bristol. Ground staff Can I see your passport, please? Passenger Here you are. Ground staff Thanks. Can I see your hand luggage? Passenger Yes, just this bag. Ground staff O K . Here's your boarding pass.

D a w n Italy and France. We're starting i n Venice, then we're going to Verona, and then M i l a n . We're stopping o f f in Paris on the way back, because I want to visit the Louvre. C h r i s W hat about sleeping arrangements? Are you sleeping on the train like all the students do? D a w n No, only on the night train from Paris to Venice. We have a two-bed sleeping compartment. A n d we're having dinner i n the dining car o f the train. Apart f r o m that, we're sleeping i n hotels. They're already booked. C h r i s Well, it sounds like a different kind o f t r i p to the one we went o n as students. D a w n Absolutely. It's going to be different, but I'm sure we're going to have lots o f f u n .

3 O)) 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.

number, please? Passenger Yes. M y friend's number is 415 673 702. Immigration O f f i c e r Thank you, M r Green. Enjoy your stay. Dialogue 4 Woman 2 Look! There's a grey case. Is it ours? Man 2 No, it's too big. Ours is much smaller. Woman 2 It's taking a long time to come o u t . . . Man 2 Yes. The first one came out really quickly. Woman 2 Look! There it is! A t last! Man 2 You stay here w i t h the other bags. I'm going to get it. Woman 2 O K . I ' l l wait for vou here. Dialogue 5 Customs O f f i c e r Excuse me, madam. Can vou come this way, please? Passenger Yes, o f course. Customs O f f i c e r Have vou got anything to declare? Passenger No, I don't t h i n k so. I bought some chocolate in the Dutv Free Shop, but that's all. Customs O f f i c e r Can I check your bag, please? Passenger Sure. G o ahead. Customs O f f i c e r O K . . .That's fine. You can go o n through. Passenger T h a n k you.

3B») Chris H i , D a w n . I hear you're going to be on holidav 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.

4 A))) 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!

4 B») 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.

P r e s e n t e r So, w h e n is the best t i m e to visit Croatia, Paula?

A m y I hope so. Matt Anyway, what about me? What does my

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.

Now, let's look at a different type o f holiday ...

S p e a k e r 4 O h no, I never get bored. There's always so much to do! I like to get up early and read the newspaper while I'm having breakfast. Then I like to go for a walk and do a bit o f shopping. A f t e r lunch. I go and pick up my grandchildren f r o m school. We spend an hour i n the park until their m u m comes to get them.

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.

A m y Perhaps she'll give you a pay rise!

You're taking this far too seriously! I don't believe a word o f it! A m y Well, I do. I t h i n k your boss w i l l put up your salary

Speaker 3 M y life has changed a lot now that I don't have to leave the house to go to work. Things aren't so stressful first t h i n g i n the m o r n i n g now. I just get up, make a cup o f tea, and switch on my computer. It's strange communicating with colleagues online and not seeing them face-to-face. Sometimes it gets a bit lonelv.

Speaker 5 This is the best t h i n g that has ever happened to me! She's so beautiful that I seem to spend all day looking at her! I don't have time to see friends now, so I keep i n touch w i t h everybody by phone or online when she's asleep. We go shopping together and I do more housework and cooking, but I don't get much sleep anymore!

under c o n t r o l . D a v e O K , so we don't have to add or subtract a n y t h i n g . You're s t i l l o n 30. H o w many close friends do you see regularly? A l i c e M m m . A few. I don't have m u c h t i m e . D a v e Right.. .we don't add or subtract anything again. Last question. How much time do you have for yourself? A l i c e N o t enough. I ' m always reallv busy. D a v e Add a year.. .That makes 31. W h i c h means that you are 35 but your body is only 31. W h a t do you t h i n k o f that? A l i c e 31? That's great news! N o w it's your t u r n . . .

6 A))) M a t t What are you reading? A m y Nothing, just my horoscope. Matt Reallv? W h a t star sign are you? A m y Virgo. M y birthday's on September 15th. M a t t So, what does it say? A m y It says that people w i l l talk about me next week because o f something I've done. M a t t But you don't really believe that, do you? A m y Well, actually I do. Because I have done something that w i l l make people talk about me. M a t t O h . W h a t have vou done? A m y I sent an email to my boss yesterday complaining about my new colleague. She's really lazy and she never does any w o r k . Matt Did you? A m y Yes. So my boss w i l l ask the other people i n my office about this new person and he'll probably ask about me, too. So, my horoscope is right. People w i l l definitely talk about me next week. M a t t Well, don't w o r r y about it. I ' m sure everything w i l l be alright.

horoscope, for goodness' sake!

6 B))) 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 u n i f o r m s and they said they were police inspectors. 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 beautiful w o m a n came up to me. We got chatting, and she invited me to go to a club w i t h her. We had a few d r i n k s together and then the w aiter brought me 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.

6 C») 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.

7 A))) 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? Dave O h , for goodness'sake!

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.

8 A))) 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.

8 B))) 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.

8 C») 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!

9 A))) 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.

Now, Judy Garland's real name was Frances Ethel G u m m , and she was b o r n on June 10th, 1 9 2 2 i n G r a n d Rapids, Minnesota.

However, she continued to perform, and i n 1964 she did a series o f concerts at the London Palladium. I n fact, it was i n London where Judy Garland was found dead after she took a drug overdose i n 1969. Judy got married five times and had three children. One o f these children was Liza M i n n e l l i w h o was 23 when her mother died. Liza was b o r n i n H o l l y w o o d , California, o n March 12th, 1946. She grew up i n f i l m studios, and, like her mother, made her first stage appearance at the age o f t w o . She was only five when her parents got divorced. A f t e r p e r f o r m i n g successfully w i t h her mother at the London Palladium i n 1964, Liza became a professional nightclub singer. She made several albums, and later starred as a singer i n the 1972 f i l m . Cabaret, a role for which she w o n an Oscar. Despite her successful singing and acting career, Liza has had similar problems to her mother. She has been to rehab clinics several times because o f her addiction to drugs and alcohol. She has also been married four times, but, unlike her mother, she never had children. Today, Liza M i n n e l l i is i n her sixties, but she still makes occasional television appearances.

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 next caller is M a r i o n Williams from Cardiff. Marion?

9 C») Presenter Hello and welcome to those o f you w h o just joined us. C o n t i n u i n g o n our theme o f celebrity families, the focus o f today's programme is actress and singer, Judy Garland, and her daughter, Liza M i n n e l l i .

D o u g Hello, Janet. Well, I'm going to start w i t h the microwave oven. I n 1945, an engineer called Percv 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 radar equipment to cook popcorn. Percy realized that microwaves could heat and cook food, and so the microwave oven was b o r n . P r e s e n t e r H o w interesting! W h a t else have vou got for us, Doug? D o u g Next is something that is found i n hospitals all over the world: the X-ray machine. In 1895, a German 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.

10 B))) 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!

10C))) 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.

11 B») 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.

12 A))) 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!

12 C») 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.
