It was a cold night in December. It was late at night and the roads outside were frozen. I was at home alone, enjoying a hot chocolate. My parents had gone out for a dinner party at the neighbour's house and my little brother was asleep in his room upstairs. This wasn't the first time I was home alone, so I was not scared. Well, not until I heard a howling noise outside. I slowly got up from the sofa and made my way over to the window. I slowly pulled back the curtain and looked out the street. Suddenly, I saw what looked like a big animal with big bright eyes race across the street. It got up and began to make its way towards the house.

I was terrified! I quickly ran to the door to check that it was locked. I ran back to the window to take a look. The animal had disappeared. I was still scared when my parents arrived home. I didn't sleep well at all that night.

Making friends when you are a new student is difficult. What can you do, then, to make friends and settle in quickly?

To start with, one suggestion is to join a club or take up a sport. This way you will meet people who share the same interests.

Another suggestion is to have a party and invite everyone. This is a g r e a t w a y to in t r o d u c e yourself and meet new people in a relaxed social atmosphere. Finally, in order to make friends you must have a friendly and positive attitude. People will find it easier to approach you and an attractive personality can make people interested in getting to know you. All in all, it is hard to be the new person. However, if you are friendly and sociable you should soon make friends.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you in response to the article featured in Tuesday's paper about an increase in pickpocketing on public transport. I am very concerned about this sudden rise in crime and worry that our area will soon suffer more of this type of crime. For this reason I have outlined some suggestions that I believe the police could apply to help improve this situation.

Firstly, the police could put up warning posters on buses and trains. People will become aware of the problem and be more alert when travelling.

Secondly, it is important that there are more police officers present at train and bus stations. If this happens, pickpockets can be arrested on the spot and have less chance of escaping. An increased police presence will also put pickpockets off from committing the crime in the first place, as they will realise that it is very likely that they will get caught. I believe that these measures would result in less pickpocketing and it is important that police take action soon. I hope my suggestions will be taken into consideration.

Yours faithfully, Brian Green

P r e s e n te r : Good evening. Tonight in the studio we have Sam Barnet to tell us a little bit about his summer job as a camp counsellor.

S a m : Hi. Being a camp counsellor is a fantastic job if you want to get some work experience. The camp where I work is in the forest by a lake. It's a refreshing change for kids who are used to summer holidays by the beach. There's no sunbathing here!

I'm part of a team of twenty counsellors. There's about one of us for every ten children. That's a good figure because we have to know where everyone is 24 hours a day. The children are our responsibility and if anything goes wrong, we have to deal with it. We also get training in safety and first aid before we start so that we know what to do if there are any accidents.

The great thing about working at a camp like this is that we can join in with all the activities, like playing different sports. Sure, we organise, supervise and make sure everyone is in the right place at the right time, but for me the real enjoyment is being with the children and making sure they have the best time. The wages are quite low, but as we're staying at the camp and eating with the children, we don't have to pay for accommodations or food.

P r e s e n te r : It sounds like a great way to spend the summer, Sam. So, if any of our listeners are interested in becoming a camp counsellor, what can they do?

S a m : A camp counsellor is a good job for students or even older teenagers, although they have to be at least 15 years old. The best thing is to contact local camps, send them a CV, or even go and see the camp director in person. It's good if you have some experience working with children, but it isn't always necessary.

Presenter: Thanks, Sam. Tune in tomorrow for more student jobs!

In t e r v ie w e r : Hello and welcome to this week's Computer Chat. Today we have with us David Chase, a software engineer, who knows a lot about social networking sites. Dave is here to talk to us about Twitter. Welcome to the show Dave!

Hi everyone!

In te rv ie w e r: So Dave, for all those who don't know; what is Twitter exactly?

D a v e C h a se : Well, Twitter is a website which offers a social networking service that allows its users to send and read short messages called "tweets".

In te rv ie w e r: So if I understand correctly, "tweets" are like sending text messages online?

D a v e C h a se : Exactly! Tweets are small posts of up to 140 letters that appear on the user's profile page. It is a bit challenging to get your point across in such a short message, but I believe that's the great thing about Twitter. Users have to be creative!

In te rn e t: It sounds like fun. Do you use Twitter?

D a v e C h a se : I certainly do. The special thing about Twitter is that it not only allows me to share information with my friends, but I can also get in touch with people who have similar interests to me.

How do you do that?

D a v e C h a se : Well, for example I can add people who read my blog to my list of followers (that is those who read my tweets) on Twitter.

In te rv ie w : Lots of celebrities are tweeting these days. Why is it so popular with the famous people?

D a v e C h a se : Well, with Twitter they can keep in touch with their fans. It's a great way to quickly broadcast information. Companies can also use twitter to promote their products, communicate with employees and interact with their customers.

James: Great. So what are you going to do there?

Cody: Oh, lots of things, but one thing that I really want to see is the Waitomo Caves. They sound fantastic. James: Really? But what's so special about some caves? Cody: Well, they're thousands of years old and there's a lot to see and do there. My uncle says that we'll stay in a hotel overnight so we can spend two days there. Guess what I'm going to do? Go black water rafting!

James: Oh. What's that?

Cody: It's like white water rafting, but it's underground through the tunnels in the caves. And we use tubes and ropes instead of a raft.

James: It sounds dangerous.

Cody: Not really because they give you special helmets, wetsuits and footwear. I hope it's not going to be too cold down there, though!

James: So, what else are you going to do?

Cody: Well, we're also going to see the Glow Worm Caves. Tiny little insects cover the walls there and shine in the dark. It sounds a bit scary to me - you know I don't really like insects and spiders!

James: Oh, don't worry. I'm sure you'll have a really fantastic time. You're so lucky!

Interviewer: Welcome everyone to 'Weekend Break'; the show that brings you the latest in what's happening around town. On today's show I'm pleased to have Scott Talbot, activities coordinator at the Winston Adventure Park. Welcome to the show Scott.

Scoff: Thank - you.

Interviewer: I invited you on the show today Scott because I think people need to try something new in their free time. It's not that they're afraid. It's just that they stick only to what they know and keep doing the same things over and over no matter how bored they get. I want to bring some new ideas and a little

1 6 8

adventure to what they can do on an average Sunday, such as going to the adventure park. So tell us, what does the park have to offer.

Scott: Well the park will definitely bring some excitement to a regular weekend. At the park, there is a variety of activities to choose from. We have various climbing walls for all levels of climbers. For those who like to fly, they can try bungee jumping and the trampolines. Mini golf is popular with families. Another group activity is paintball. And of course, we have everyone's favourite activity zip-lining through the forest. Visitors shouldn't miss out on that.

Interviewer: That's a lot of things to do. I guess visitors have to decide ahead which activities they really want to do. One day is not really enough for all of them.

Scott: Well actually it's possible to do almost all the activities in a day if you plan ahead. For example, you could start the day off with a game of paintball which is about a half an hour long. Then try a bungee jump and play on the trampolines for about an hour. Next, stop for a meal at one of the park's restaurants. After lunch you could challenge yourself on the climbing walls for fortyfive minutes and then it's off for some zip-lining high above the forest for 2 hours. Finally, end your day with a relaxing game of mini golf.

Interviewer: That certainly is one adventure-filled day. Can you tell us more about zip-lining?

Scott: This is a great activity; it's fun while at the same time perfectly safe. Participants follow one of the many courses that allows them to go zip-lining through the forest at different heights. I don't recommend it though for those with a fear of heights, as you are quite high up. Many people think it's the most exciting of all the activities, but I believe all of them are quite thrilling. I never get tired of going zip-lining. It's loads of fun.

Interviewer: What about ages? What activities can young people participate in?

Scoff: The only restriction is for paintball. Players must be over 12 years of age. We even have kids zip-ling courses and bungee jumps. There are even beginner level climbing walls. It's also a great place for a children's party.

Interviewer: It sounds like a great place for everyone. So check out the Winston Adventure Park this weekend. For more information about the park, visit their website: w w w .winstonadventure.com. Thanks for joining us today Scott.

Presenter: Thank you for joining us. Tonight on the show we have Ian Marshall, one of our local lifeguards, here to tell us a little bit about his job. Ian, thanks for coming. I'm sure that most of us have a very good idea about what a lifeguard does, but can you give us a few more details?

Ian: Sure. Well, of course, as a lifeguard, I make sure that people are safe in and around the water. I patrol the beach, but other lifeguards are on duty at lakes and swimming pools. A lifeguard is a necessity on a busy beach because even strong swimmers can get into trouble.

Presenter: OK, so how did you become a lifeguard, Ian? Ian: Well, actually, it was quite difficult. I had to take some courses including advanced first aid and beach management and then I had to complete various different fitness and skills tests. Even now, I take different courses to improve my skills. This year I'm hoping to take a course in powerboat driving.

Presenter: And what's a typical day like for you?

Ian: Well, between October and March, I'm on patrol from 6 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. That's OK with me - I actually really like early mornings! Daily duties include rescuing when necessary, of course, checking all the equipment and keeping swimmers aware of any dangers. Our main duty though is to observe the beach and the swimming area to make sure everyone is obeying the beach rules in order to prevent accidents and emergencies. There's a lot of paperwork to do, too. This is probably my least favourite part of the job, but it's very important.

Presenter: You mentioned equipment. What kind of equipment do you use?

Ian: Well, we have a boat for accidents out at sea, but we also use horns, loudspeakers and even the simple whistle to get people's attention. In fact, the whistle is probably the most important piece of equipment I use because I have it with me all the time and it's very effective at getting people's attention. There's also a radio to get in touch with other lifeguards and the emergency services. It's not very high-tech, I know, although I recently heard about some research that scientists are doing. They want to electronically tag sharks, so when they get near the shore, we get an SMS warning on our mobile phones.

Presenter: Really? While we're on the subject of sharks, just how dangerous are they to swimmers off the coast of Australia?

Ian: Well, in the past 10 years, sharks have killed about 10 people and attacked about ten others in Western Australia, but we shouldn't just focus on sharks. There are many other dangers such as the box jellyfish, which is one of the most poisonous creatures in the sea, especially as it's almost invisible to swimmers. Actually, another important part of our training is looking out for dangerous creatures and giving first aid treatment if someone gets, for instance, a jellyfish sting. The first thing we do with a sting is to pour vinegar on it!

We also try to educate swimmers about the risks. A little knowledge can save a lot of lives.

Presenter: Interesting, Ian. Well, it's been fantastic having you on the show. Tune in next week, listeners, when we have a real-life storm chaser in the studio. Until then, good night and have a great week.

Megan: Well, it's just that I've fallen out with my friend Tracy. We're in the drama club together at school.

Sara: Yes, I know her from my PE class. What happened? Megan: I really don't know. Tracy is angry with me. She says that I'm gossiping about her. But, that's not true. I never said anything to anyone about her. Of course, now she won't talk to me and ignores me when she sees me. Sara: Do you know why she thinks you're gossiping about her?

Megan: No. In fact three days ago we were having a great time together at the drama club and then the next day at school she was angry with me. I'm really upset.

Sara: Don't worry. It's all probably just a misunderstanding. The best thing to do is talk to her and work things out. Megan: I tried to phone her but she refuses to talk to me. Sara: I see. Well, have you thought about going to her house?

Megan: That's a good idea, but what if she still won't talk to me?

My roommate often leaves food in the fridge for a long time - until it goes bad. It's really annoying, but one day last week it caused a big problem. We both wanted a snack, so he offered to make us some ham sandwiches. What a generous roommate I have! The only problem was, the ham was over three weeks old and we both got food poisoning afterwards. I felt terrible for two days!

My neighbour borrows things, but never gives them back. Once, he borrowed my hammer and I forgot he had it. Six months later, I wanted to put up a picture so I went next door and asked for my hammer back. He insisted that it was his hammer, not mine, and refused to give it back to me. I'll never give him anything again.
