FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE: THE LADY WITH THE LAMP

DHer Early Years

(1).....

Florence Nightingale was a pioneer in the field of nursing. She founded the profession of nursing and reformed sanitary practices in hospitals. These great achievements are more amazing when you consider that most Victorian women could not attend university or pursue a professional career.

(2) .....

She was born in Italy in 1820 and was named Florence after her birthplace. She was the daughter of a wealthy landowner, William Nightingale, who was a well­educatedand open-­minded man. He believed that all people should receive an education and both Florence and her sister Parthenope were taught Greek, Latin, Italian, German, History,

Philosophy and Mathematics.

(3) .....

At the age of twenty-­five Florence had already made up her mind to follow a career in nursing. Her parents were totally opposed to this, but Florence’s devotion and determination managed to convince them and she eventually got her father’s permission to study as a nurse. She studied nursing in Kaiserwerth, Germany, and two years later she was appointed superintendent of a hospital for women in Harley Street, London.

(4) .....

In 1854, Britain, France and Turkey were at war with Russia. The public were shocked by reports of the disgraceful conditions that the sick and wounded British soldiers had to endure. Florence decided to help, and immediately went to Turkey, in charge of a group of thirtyeight­ nurses, to work in military hospitals. The conditions in the army hospitals were appalling. The soldiers were filthy, there were lots of rats and fleas, and supplies were limited­.

(5) .....

Initially, she received very little help from military officers and doctors. However, her assistance was greatly needed and they soon changed their minds. Florence quickly managed­ to organise the hospital, improve sanitation and greatly increase the survival rate of her patients. Every soldier she cared for respected and admired her.

(6) .....

In 1856, Florence returned to England as a national heroine. She was known as ‘The Lady with the Lamp’, a name the wounded soldiers gave her because of the way she watched over them in hospital at night. On her return, she began to campaign for improvements in the standards of hygiene and health care in military hospitals. A Royal

Commission was appointed and, following Florence Nightingale’s detailed reports, the Army Medical College was later established in 1857.

DREAM JOB

Since 1969, Mark Harris has worked for а well-known toy manufacturer designing cars. When he started, he was the only man in the department, but now he is in charge of а team of 35 designers.

Mark first got interested in cars during his teens. His dad was а football coach and оnе day he took а саr magazine away from оnе of his players during а practice session. Не brought it home and gave it to Mark. From that moment оn, cars became the love of Mark’s life.

Не went оn to study саr design at university and then worked for а саr соmраnу de- signing actual cars, before being persuaded bу а friend to join the toy соmраnу and set up their design department.

Of all the cars he has designed, his favourite is the Silver Sunrise. It may not have achieved such high sales as some other cars, but it is important to Mark because it was the first time he was allowed to make а model that looked like а real саr. ‘Before that, the wheels оn all the cars stuck out so they would go straight.’ explained Mark. ‘The Silver Sunrise was the first оnе where the wheels were under the body. It meant it didn’t work so well оn а rасе track but it looked amazing.’

Now in his 60s, Mark is approaching retirement. Не finds it hard to imagine what that will bе like. ‘I have expensive hobbies, so it might bе difficult to continue with them when I am no longer earning! Plus, I like coming in to work. Ideally I’d like to retire part time and work part time.’

BIRDS IN DANGER

AIt grows to one metre in length and has a wing span of nearly 120 cm.

BAs far back as1988, a Hyacinth macaw was highly sought after by collectors and would sell for between 3,400 and 6,800.

CIt is illegal to own a captive Lear’s macaw.

DEven today we can see their exotic, colourful feathers reproduced in ancient tapestries at the Gold Museum, in Lima.

EIts main source of food is a type of palm nut.

FToday, there are sixteen known species in the world, and at least nine of these are in danger of extinction.

GThese programmes include efforts to restrict the activities of hunters by imposing heavy fines and even prison sentences.

Even if you have never been to Central or South America, you are sure to have seen a macaw, one of the most beautifully plumed members of the parrot family. These magnificent­ birds have been admired for centuries. (1) ..... The first macaw to be seen in Europe was brought back by Christopher Columbus, and it attracted more attention than the other treasures he brought with him! There are eighteen recognised species of macaw, but two of these have become extinct in the last hundred and fifty years. (2) .....

Macaws range in size from little larger than a sparrow to about one metre in length.

People admire them for their beauty, intelligence and ability to mimic speech. Their heavy bills and long tails, which often exceed their body length, make them unique among parrots.

The Hyacinth macaw is the largest of the macaws.

(3) ..... The brilliant blue of its feathers is broken only by a rich golden ring around its eyes. Today, the Hyacinth macaw can only be found in the tropical rainforests and swamps of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Hyacinth macaw eats a variety of seeds, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Today, this species is threatened by the loss of its habitat and hunting.

Of all the macaws, the Indigo macaw, or Lear’s macaw, is probably the most endangered. There are only 130 birds left. This macaw is found only in Lollia, Brazil. It is a large bird, about 75 cm from the tip of its bill to the end of its tail. It is deep blue in sour with yellow markings around the eyes. (4) ..... One of the problems this bird faces is the shortage of these nuts because of deforestation and the regular droughts that parch the area.

Apart from habitat loss, mostly due to deforestation, macaws are endangered by illegal hunting for food and feathers as well as the multibillion­ pound pet trade. (5) .....

The rarity­ of Lear’s macaws makes them even more expensive. This trade is probably its biggest threat.

Luckily, it is not all bad news for the macaw. In recent years, there have been a number of programmes aimed at increasing the numbers of macaws found in the wild.

(6) ..... There are also attempts to protect the feeding and breeding areas of these beautiful birds. Let’s hope these and other schemes will be successful.

Having a ‘lovely’ smile is a desired part of our appearance, and it usually means being the proud owner of gleaming and straight set of ‘pearly whites’ – or teeth. What happens when our teeth aren’t that well­aligned,- or are, in other words, just plain crooked? That’s when an orthodontist comes in, with orthodontic treatment that includes dental braces. There are many horror stories about teenagers who wear braces being given a hard time at school and being taunted as ‘metal mouth’. However, today’s braces can be much more subtle in appearance, and the end result is actually about more than a beautiful smile.

Straightening crooked teeth isn’t just about beauty and vanity. It’s also about good health. Irregularly positioned teeth are hard to clean and this can cause tooth decay as well as promote gum disease. Speech problems and damage to the jaw can also occur as a result of very crooked or crowded teeth. The ideal age for braces to do their desired job of straightening teeth is during childhood and adolescence, from the ages of about ten to sixteen. People as old as sixty years of age can also have successful results with braces, although those over the age of eighteen won’t have as good an end result as younger people whose jaws, bones and teeth are still developing.

What about the man or woman behind the fitting of braces? What is he or she all about? An orthodontist has studied orthodontics, an advanced and specialized area of dentistry. Apart from the four years of university training needed to become a dentist, orthodontists need a further two years of study in subjects ranging from genetics to human­development. The medical writings of ancient Greece and Rome refer to practising­ orthodontics, which is an ancient Greek word meaning correcting or straightening teeth. The first braces as we know them today, were designed by a French man, Pierre Fauchard, in 1728. They consisted of a flat metal strip that was connected to teeth by pieces of thread.

Now, braces come in many variations. They don’t have to be metal or metallic-­coloured.

They can be made of a special softer substance and be either clear in colour, colourful or even resemble the colour of teeth. You can get removable braces or the more effective fixed type. The latter include metal bands that are cemented onto the teeth and metal brackets which are then glued to the front teeth. A wire connects the bands and sometimes rubber bands are used. Orthodontists gradually tighten the wires so that teeth slowly move into their correct position. The treatment lasts for about two years. Braces are not only for humans, as dogs can get them too, to correct crooked jaws and other dental disorders. So if you or a friend needs braces, brace yourself to embrace the wonderful health and beauty aid that they are!

1.In the past, braces used to be less obvious than they are today.

2.Crooked teeth can lead to gum disease.

3.All teenagers should wear braces.

4.The older you get, the better results you get by wearing braces.

5.It takes six years for someone to become an orthodontist.

6.Ancient Greeks were familiar with the science of orthodontics.

‘Elise in India’. That was the name of my blog last year when I took a year out be- tween school and university. I was lucky enough to get a teaching job abroad through an international organization. I was going to work in a school attached to a children’s home in north-west India. There were eight of us on the week-long introduction course in the capital, Delhi. As well as advice and ideas for teaching we were given information about health and local customs, and learned a few essential phrases in the local language.

Another course teacher, Lucy, was coming tо the same school as mе and we were both nervous when we set off оn the 15-hour bus ride tо the children’s home. I had worked as

аclassroom assistant before, but here I wouldn’t bе much older than some of mу pupils. How would I manage? Mу worries disappeared оnсе we reached the home. Оur rooms were оn the top floor аbove the girls’ bedrooms and from the window we looked out across flat fields full of fruit trees and could just see the snow-covered mountain tops in the distance.

There were 90 children in the home, aged between 5 and 20. In addition there were

аsmall number of pupils who саmе in each day from the аrеа around. Although they were

аlittle shy tо start with, they were so keen to ask us questions that we quickly bесаmе friends.

Lucy and I taught four lessons а day, mainly spelling, reading and general knowledge.

We had а textbook but since it wasn’t very exciting, we tried to make the lessons more interesting with activities and games. This wasn’t always easy: there was а mixture of ages in each class because pupils had begun their education at different times. Like schoolchildren everywhere, they didn’t always behave perfectly in class. However, they used to send us notes apologising afterwards, or thanking us for аn interesting lesson, so we didn’t really mind.

The best fun camе after school, though. We spent many happy hours playing games or football or just chatting with the children. Оn Friday afternoons, Lucy and I were in charge of sport, which had just been introduced аt the school. Trying to organise fifty children into cricket teams is something I’ll never forget. Another of my memories is playing in goal for а boys’ football game. Even though Lucy and а group of little girls joined in as extra goalkeepers, we still managed to let the other side score!

I was terribly sad to leave. I felt I had learned as much as – if not more than – my pupils from the experience.

1.Elise applied directly to the school for the teaching post.

2.The course in Delhi prepared members for their work and for everyday life.

3.This was Elise’s first experience of working at school.

4.The children’s home was situated high in the mountains.

5.The majority of the pupils in the school lived in the children’s home.

6.Elise and Lucy were upset that the children were so curious about them.

7.It was a challenge to interest all the pupils in the general knowledge lessons.

8.Elise and Lucy wanted to punish the children if they were bad in class.

9.Sports lessons were a recent addition to the school’s curriculum.

10.When Elise played football with the boys she scored a goal for her team.
