A DIFFER ENT WAY OF LIFE


In the recent 1V series Faking It, ten men and women took up something completely
different from their actual jobs, For example, a kickboxer became a dancer and a
computer-games tester became a racing driver. They each spent just four weeks
learning their new skill and then had to take part in a test or competition, where they
tried to make the judges belleve that they were experts!
The people appear ing on Faking It were unemployed.
After four weeks' training, the people had to show how good
they were.

The world of advertising is changing.


Previous generations liked clever
adverts which made them laugh but
would never allow adverts to actually
influence them when shopping.
Today's 15-24 year aids, however,
have been brought up in a fastmoving
world
of
immediate
information from M1V, the internet,
computer
games
and
all-day
advertising. Advertising is accepted
and expected by the young
generation, but they don't want to
spend time working out what adverts
mean. They want less complicated
adverts than their parents did. So

adverts are now shorter with onlyone


or two scenes. Posters are bigger than
they used to be and their messages
are clearer. Teens and 20 somethings
think that an advertised product is
better than other products because
the company has money to spend
on advertising. Using famous people
in adverts is very popular because a
lot of young people reaUy believe
that the stars use the products they
advertise. Adverts change more
frequently as well. Nowadays, one
successful advert used for a year is
not enough - new ones are produced
every few months.

with water.

Name two sports you can


do on your own.

serious a football fan are you? I don't mean how often are you going to
watch a match, but how much are you spending on goods connected with
football? It seems that nowadays you're not really a follower of the sport
unless you spend a considerable amount of money on products connected with your
favourite club and players.
No doubt you and your family own this season's football shirts. And I hope you've
got shirts like those the team is wearing for home matches, as well as the ones the
players are wearing for away matches at other clubs. Do you
read a biography of your favourite player at the moment, or
are you preferring to watch videos of him playing in
famous matches? I'm sure you buy the club magazine
every month to make sure you are keeping up to date
with what happens at the club.
Football fans spend more money on clothes,
luggage, toys and posters than ever before. ' Much
more, in fact, than they are spending on tickets to see
live matches. Money from selling goods and products
connected to the sport is now being a major part of
a club's income.

A Never! Volunteers over 80 have enjoyed our projects and


given valuable help. However, please be realistic regarding
your health and fitness, and always call us for advice.
B Some projects may require camping equipment, others
require clothing for certain climates, but most require no
more than your favourite old clothes.
C You do. While your Expedition Coordinator will be able to
offer suggestions, part of preparing you rself for an
Earthwatch expedition comes in getting yourself to and from
the rendezvous site.
o Of course! The team leader will often recommend a number
of local sights and attractions nearby that would be worth a
visit. Dr you might just like to relax in a hammock with a
good book. The choice is yours.
E On many projects this is possible, but remember that when
working in more remote areas, you will have to eat what is
available locally. To be sure, check with us first before you
join any team.
F Much of our work is in wildlife reserves, important historical
sites, and national parks. Places range from Inner Mongolia
to the Outer Hebrides, from Hudson Bay to Uruguay. On an
Earthwatch project you have one-on-one contact with the
local people that no tourist will ever have.
G You will find some couples on expeditions, but most of our
volunteers are on their own. Earthwatch expeditions are a
safe way to get to remote or unfamiliar places because you
will be met at the rendezvous site and will soon be part of a
team.
H Most last 10--14 days, but there are also one-week, threeweek, and weekend opportunities available.
You are responsible for arranging your own. If you have to
apply for one, allow plenty of time, and always ask for a
tourist type. You don't need a work permit.
J No. The researchers and field staff will teach you every1hing
you need to know once you arrive. Most of the tasks are
simple, and you will quickly master them.
K They are ongoing research projects, run by qualified and
respected members of the scientific community. They are not

THE PEEL

MINICAR

OU are unlikely ever to see a Peel P50 minicar on the


road. There is just one left out of the 100 that were
produced in the early 1960s, and it's in a museum. The
Peel P50 was the smallest car in the world . Everything about
it was tiny, from the 6-litre petrol tank to the 49cc engine. It
was just 1.35 metres long and weighed about the same as an
11-year-old boy. It cost 199 when it was first produced In
1962 and had a top speed of about 25 kilometres per hour.
The Peel P50 was definitely a town car, intended for short
journeys rather than long distances. It was designed to carry
one person and a single bag of shopping, anything larger like a big suitcase - would not fit. It even had a handle with
which it could be lifted and wheeled around. Picking it up and
pushing it was the only way of getting the car to go
backwards. Unfortunately, the Peel P50 was too small to share
the busy roads with buses and huge
lorries, and it died out in 1965
after only three years
on the road.

AN INTELLIGENT JACKET

rance Telecom R&D, the research and development centre


for France Telecom, has recently designed a 'communicating'
jacket, which can be used in the same way as a hands-free
mobile phone.
The jacket provides the normal features of a mobile phone
without a screen or keypad. The pieces of the extra-flat
telephone, weighing 100g, are hidden inside the jacket, the
number keys are inside the front edge, and the microphone is in
the collar. The user presses the star button to get the dial tone
or to hang up, and the caller simply says the name of the person
to call, or else dials the number on the keypad part of the jacket.
France Telecom R&D is testing the jacket in real situations, to

see what possible users think of it. These tests involve


professional people working outside the office (on outdoor
projects, for example), non-professional athletes, as well as
teenagers and young college students.
The results will help France Telecom R&D to improve the
jacket's design. The centre has contacted clothing
manufacturers interested in using the new technology.
Future possibilities include new ways to inform the user of an
incoming call. One way heats the material of the jacket near the
skin to tell the user there is a call - for use in very noisy
environments. Developments like these are likely to prove
attractive in many situations .

Have you ever heard someone speak Udlhe,


Eyak or Arlkapu? You probably never will.
It is unlikely that Udihe, Eyak and Arikapu spoken in Siberia, Alaska and the Amazon jungle,
will survive. About 100 people speak Udihe, six
speak Arikapu, and Eyak is down to one .
Researchers have 1 discovered/invented that Marie
Smith, 83, of Anchorage, Alaska, is the last speaker
of Eyak .
Languages need at least 100,000 speakers to
2 delay / prevent them from dying according to
UNESCO, the United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organisation. Experts
that 3,400 to 6,120 languages are in 3 threat/danger,
and could disappear by 2100.
In 1983, Hawaiians started the' Aha Punana Leo
organisation to 4 save/keep their language, because
fewer than 1,000 people could speak it. This was
because the Americans had 5 banned/rejused
schools from teaching in Hawaiian at the end of the
19th century. Now however, students have all their
lessons in Hawaiian and the number of speakers is
around 7,000 to 10,000. 'We just want Hawaiian
back where it 6 belongs/owns.' said a spokesperson
from 'Aha Punana Leo. 'If you can't speak it in
Hawaii, where will you speak it?'

Fame
~ elly

Clarkson became famous when her beautiful voice won the hearts and minds of the
' " United States of America and she was voted the American Idol.
The twenty year old from Texas performed live every week for ten weeks to an audience of 25
million on America's biggest ever TV show, despite never having had a professional singing lesson.
She received 57% of the vote in the final.
'Nobody really realised I had a talent until I joined my school choir when I was 13. My teacher
really pushed me since I was behind everyone else who had been doing it since 4" grade.'
Kelly developed Quickly and before long was entertaining audiences in various competitions.
She earned a living as a waitress, a chemist's aSSistant, at the movie theatre and even at
the zoo!
It was a strange chain of events that really put Kelly on the path to music though. Having
moved to Los Angeles after graduation, she began sending out tapes of her singing and
trying to get into the music industry. However, this all stopped when her apartment burned
down leaving her very poor. The young singer made the 24-hour drive home with nothing.
It was her best friend, Jessica, who was determined for Kelly not to give up and suggested she tried
out for American Idol. Kelly knew nothing about it. 'I went and auditioned for fun and here I am!'
Her first pop song went straight to number one In Its first week and she hasn't looked back since.
The final ten performers from the show joined up again for the American Idol Tour, which took them
from Seattle to New York playing to over 200,000 fans.

white mouse and for some reason, Thomas had
decided that having Sasha with him during the

fitted into Thomas coat pocket, so I didn't notice him

secretary announced that all students coats and bags
had to be left outside the exam hall, Thomas realised
he would have to give up that good luck plan of

11

Vegetables used to be grown on the Tregothnan estate.

12

The first tea plants at Tregothnan were introduced as an experiment.

13

The next fields to be planted with tea are on flat land.

14

Jonathan Jones has been able to learn about growing conditions in different countries recently.

15

Jonathan Jones suggests that British people drink more tea than anyone else.

16

Green tea is a more valuable product than white tea.

17

The Tregothnan Estate wants to supply its tea in different forms commercially.

18

Jonathan Jones believes that tea produced at Tregothnan would be fresher than imported tea.

19

Some tea plants at Tregothnan will be ready for commercial use before 2005.

20

A well-known British tea company is interested in ordering some Tregothnan tea for its own shop.

Britain's first tea plantation

High above the River Fal in south Cornwall, a team of gardeners is preparing to grow a much-loved
plant for the first time commercially in Britain. On the Tregothnan Estate, fields that were once
used to grow potatoes, carrots and peas have become the home of Britain's first tea plantation.
In 1999, Tregothnan staff were unsure whether they could grow tea, so they planted five hundred
tea plants. They are growing well and there are now plans to cover the hillsides with different
varieties of tea all the way down to the river by 2005. This part of the country has a suitable
climate for growing tea and because the fie lds face south, Jonathan Jones, Tregothnan's head
gardener, is especially hopeful: 'We think we've got the perfect conditions: he says, and he should
know, becau se he has just spent three months visiting tea plantations throughout Asia, Australia
and Africa, on a research trip.
Of course, no one is doubting the demand for the product. 'The British are the biggest tea drinkers
in the world apart from the Irish: Mr Jones says. 'We drink on average three cups a day, so it
makes perfect sense to grow it here: However, it is not the commonly used black tea that will be
grown, but green and white tea. For such special tea, the market is growing by 25 % a year, with
some 10% of tea drinkers having tried it.
Green tea, which is said to lower cholesterol. reduce high blood pressure and prevent certain
illnesses, is far more expensive than black tea, while the even rarer white tea can be sold for ten
times the price of black tea. If all goes well, apart from producing the usual dried tea in packets,
th e Tregotbnan Estate also aims to introduce fresh leaves, which are believed to have additional
health benefits, for sale at supermarkets up and down the country. 'The tea from around the world
that reaches the supermarkets at the moment is nine months old, but we could get green tea on
their shelves within 24 hours: says Mr Jones .
Tea has to be grown for six years before it can be picked for sale, which means that Tregothnan
staff will have to wait until 2005 to know whether their efforts have been successful. However,
leaves that were picked after three years suggest that these particular plants do produce a light.
refreshing and very drinkable green tea. Stephen Twining, the tenth generation of the Twining
family to work for the famous tea firm, is positive: 'We do think there's a market for this tea and
provided the quality is there, we'd consider having it in stock in our specialist tea shop: Twinings
has seen its sales of green tea increase by 43 % this year.

The Art of Travel


by ALain de Botton
The old saying 'It's better to travel than to arrive' is usually understood as an attack on destinations rather
than a positive statement about travel. Indeed, people are always complaining about the horrors of
travelling: crowded airports, overbooked flights, cancelled and dirty trains. However, I believe there are
some unusual pleasures in the journeys we make.
Take the aeroplane, for example. Few seconds in life are more exciting than those during take-off. Waiting
at the beginning of a runway, we see familiar locations out of the plane window: grass, a road, modern
hotels - the Earth as we have always known it, where we make slow progress even by car. Then suddenly,
accompanied by the controlled noise of the engines, we rise smoothly into the sky and a huge space opens
up for us, where we can imagine new possibilities in our lives.
Trains are another wonderful travel environment. I love the atmosphere of half-empty carriages making their
way across the countryside: enjoying the silence inside and the regular beat of the wheels against the track
outside. A train journey can be like a dream, where we become involved in different thoughts and are able
to recall distant memories. There's nothing like a moving train to encourage the mind to perform properly.
Thinking can even improve when parts of the mind are busy with other tasks, like listening to music or
following a line of trees.
If we are attracted to air or train travel despite their disadvantages, it is perhaps because we feel that these

experiences provide an important alternative to the habits and limitations of our ordinary world.

21

22

What is the writer's main purpose in writing the text?


A

to disagree with an accepted saying

to complain about modern transport

to explain his ideas about travelling

to describe an unusual train journey

What does the writer say about travelling by air?


A

He finds the delay before take-off annoying.

He enjoys the feeling of freedom it gives.

He prefers it to driving: despite the time taken.

He wishes the engines were much quieter.

25

When the writer travels by train, he likes to


A

spend much of the journey asleep.

sit in a completely empty carriage.

admire the countryside along the way.

listen to the movement of the wheels.

According to the writer, a train journey is good for us because


A

it encourages us to remember certain things.

it allows us to forget about our daily problems.

it lets our minds concentrate on a single idea.

it offers us the chance to be totally relaxed.

Which of the following might the writer say?

If we travelled less often,


we would have better
memories of our visits.

Unless the destination is


unusual, it is not worth
the effort of getting there.

o
Despite the speed of
modern travel, there are
too many disadvantages.

Even though journeys can


be uncomfortable, they
are of benefit to our lives.

smaller one could be a person's house or separate
apartments. It has two round windows in the roof. The
other building looks rather strange and must be quite dark
inside. There is something made of iron on the roof and it
has at least one large chimney.

3 Dear Nigel
Thank~or ~ letter. You asked me for advice about your
exams. When ou're revising, don't try to go over too much
at a tim~ hard for two or three hours and then have
a break.~o some more studying, and at the end of the
day, give yourself a small reward. Keep notes of w~ yo~
want to revise and plan what to work on each day. When I
was doing my exams, I tried to eat healthy food and get
plenty of sleep. I went for walks in my breaks and tried to
think positively~metime5)I met up with friends for a
snack and to talk about other things.
Stay calm and don't panic. I'm sure you'll be fine.

As the college's Exams Organiser, I often have to look after


students before they are allowed into the large haJJ where
they take their exams. One favourite story of mine is about
Sasha - who belonged to Thomas, a student of ours. Sasha
was Thomas'/'s little white mouse and for some rcason,
Thomas had decided that having Sasha with him during the
exam would be lucky for him. Sasha was so small he fitted
into Thomas'/'s coat pocket, so I didn't notice him to begin
with. However, when the director's secretary announced
that all students' coats and bags had to be left outside the
exam hall, Thomas realised he would have to give up that
good luck plan of IHm: his. And that's how I came to have a
white mouse in my desk's middle drawer when the
college's fire alarm went off. But that's another story.

we're number 45.
W Okay. Shall we just park on the street?
M Jane's out, so why not use the garage? I'll go and open
the doors for you now. She can leave her car outside
when she gets back.
3 Which photograph is the woman talking about?
This is my favourite photo of the lions. It's taken from the
truck we were in, but because of the camera I used, they
look closer than they actually were. [' d noticed two young
lions playing together on their own and, after a while, this
one ran back to its mother. Just as it lay down in front of
her, I pressed the button.
. 4 Where will the man meet the woman?
M Maria, it's John. I'm stuck in terrible traffic Ilea! the
station. It'll take me at least another twenty minutes to
get to the bookshop to pick you up.
W Okay, why don't I walk over and meet you outside the
station then?
M Welt I won't be able to stop there. Tell you what, I'll go
and park at the market square and wait in the car.
That'll be a shorter walk from the bookshop, won't it.
W Great, thanks John.

How docs the girl decide to finish the dessert?


W Dad, what can I do to make this dessert look a bit
special? I really want to surprise Mum tonight!

Why not add some slices of fresh fruit, or melt some


chocolate and pour that over the top?
W She's not keen on anything too rich, is she. I'll just cut
up a pear and a couple of strawberries and put those on.
Thanks Dad.
M Can't wait to try it.
M

7 What do they agree to buy?


W The department store has reduced all its prices by forty
per cent during the sale. Don't you think it's time to
replace our sofa? It's so old!
M Do you think so? What we really need is a proper lamp
to go on the table next to the sofa, it's impossible to sit
and read there at the moment.
W Well, move one of the lamps down from the bedroom
then. The blue one would look good on that table.
M You're right. Okay, let's go and look for something more
comfortable than the one we've got now.

Part 2
W My guest this morning is actor Roger Henderson. Roger,
welcome ...
M Thank you.
W Now, you only became a professional actor three years ago,
at 42, but your acting skills go back to your schooldays,
don't they?
M Even before that, actually. Until I started school. my mother
used to take me to a dance group, which I loved. I learned a
lot about body movement there. Then, at the age of nine, I
wrote my first play, which I wanted to perform on the
school stage. It never happened, probably the best thing!
W When you were 18, you had the choice of going to drama
school or tcacher training college. Why did you go for
teaching?
M Well, r suppose I was persuaded by my parents. They were
worried about my future, though I was confident 1'd find
my way as an actor. Even my English teacher at school was
encouraging me to try drama, so it was a difficult decision.
W I'm sure. Anyway, you became a teacher and spent eighteen
years in the classroom. What made you then turn to acting?
M It wasn't something I decided overnight. I was still fairly
happy in my teaching job, but there was a big change in my
life during my mid thirties. One serious relationship finished
and another - with Gill, who I've been with ever since began. It was Gill more than anyone who pushed me
towards the stage.
W And how did you get your first part, was it a lucky break?
IV

ANSWERS

M It was, Gill and I went to a small theatre in London to see a


new play and as I sat in the audience, I recognised the main
actor. She was someone I'd taught several years earlier.
Well, afterwards we talked and she introduced me to the
play's director, who later offered me a wonderful role in
another play by the same writer.
W But it hasn't all been good. You were out of work after that
play?
M Indeed, I was [he typical unemployed actor and Gill had to
support me for almost a year before my next job came
along, and that was only in advertising! I say only, but
advertisements are well-paid and I was thankful, though
now, back on the London stage again, I hope I never have
to do another one!
W So what is your big goal in life?
M I suppose I should be happy to go on acting in plays here,
though my dream is to get into films and make one over in
the States. I already have an agent working on it, so we'll
see.
W Well, I wish you good luck, Roger. And thanks for talking [0
us.
M It's been a pleasure.

Part 3
Okay everyone, thanks for coming to this meeting. I'm going to
give you the final details about our geography trip. Now, on
Friday, you'll need to come to the back gates of the college,
because that's where the coach will be. It'll leave from there at
seven thirty, but I want you there at quarter past seven, please,
so we have plenty of time to put the luggage on the coach.
Talking of luggage, don't bring too much - we'll only be away
for two nights! A suitcase really isn't practical in the hills, so put
all your things in a small bag instead. Remember to pack some
warm clothes, and wear good walking boots and a sensible coat.
Oh yes, and thinking back to last year's trip. one essential thing
that many people didn't remember was a hat, so don't be like
them, will you. It gets very windy up there and that can hurt
your ears after a while.
For the project work itself, you'll need to take photos, of
course, but we'll use the cameras from the department for that.
You'll each need a notebook, so you can write down what you
find. One with plain paper is probably best, so you can do some
drawings too.
Now we're booked into the Knellsmere Hotel, that's K-N-Edouble L-S-M-E-R-E and by the way, they have a public phone
if you want to ring your parents and don't have a mobile
phone. We should get to the hotel by mid-afternoon, so you'll
have some free time until we have dinner. I understand they
have good facilities there. Sadly, there's no swimming pool,
though there's a gym and I know lots of you will- enjoy using
that. Right, wen are there any questions?

Part 4
M Hello, Holly. You're not working in the cale this afternoon,

then?
W Actually Chris, I've given the job up. Yesterday was my last
day.
M Really? That's a bit unexpected. The staff there always seem
quite happy and relaxed. Were they bad employers then?
W That wasn't the problem, it was mc. I was just getting too
far behind with my studies and I realised I would have to
concentrate on my college work more.
M Have you been worried about this for a long time then?
W Well no, last term I was able to keep up, and my marks
were fine, but there's so much more to do now, what with
writing longer essays and having to start revising soon as
well.
M Sure, but I never thought of you finding it difficult, like I
often do! All the way along, you've been at the top of our
group and you always appear so confident in lectures and
things.
W Well, even though you may think that, Dr Garrett certainly
doesn't. Although I tried to persuade him everything would
be okay, he made me go and see the head of department on
Monday. And the first thing she asked me was whether I
had a job ...
M But everyone at college has one, don't they? We wouldn't
have enough money to live on if we didn't do some work.
W That's true, but I'd got the balance completely wrong! I kept
trying to work extra hours at the cafe, which meant six
afternoons some weeks and four nights a week till ten
thirty, too.
M Oh, I see what you mean, that does seem a bit too much.
But won't you still need to earn some money to support
yourself?
W I'll be alright until the summer, as I've saved quite a lot. The
important thing now is college.
M Well, let me know if I can help a[ all!
W Thanks, Chris.
