Presenter Hello and welcome to Our World. In today’s programme, we’re talking about unusual homes.
We’ve got Edward in the studio with us. He’s here to tell us about where he lives. Hello, Edward.
Edward Hello.
Presenter Now, tell us what’s unusual about your home.
Edward Well, I live on a boat.
Presenter A boat?
Edward Yes, a barge.
Presenter That sounds interesting. What is it like?
Edward Well, there are three bedrooms. That’s one for my mum and dad, one for my sister and one for
me.
Presenter Three bedrooms on a boat! Are they very small?
Edward No, not at all. My bedroom is bigger than my best friend’s room! I’ve got lots of furniture. There’s
a wardrobe, a small table for my books and magazines, a desk with my computer on it and
some bookshelves.
Presenter That’s amazing. What about the kitchen?
Edward Well, the kitchen is quite small, but we’ve got everything we need. There’s an oven, a fridge and
a microwave and a sink, of course. There are lots of cupboards for keeping things in. But there
isn’t room to eat in the kitchen, so we eat in the living room.
Presenter And what’s the living room like?
Edward The living room is really cosy. There’s a big sofa and two armchairs. They’re really soft and
comfortable. We’ve got a television, a DVD player and a stereo. It’s my favourite room.
Presenter So what’s the best thing about living on a barge?
Edward Well, I love having an unusual home. It’s more interesting than living in a house! But I think my
favourite thing is the water. I like watching the canal. I can see ducks and swans swim by. I see
other barges go past, too. It’s amazing!
Presenter I’m sure it is! Well thank you for coming in today and telling us about your home.

Walt Disney was born in Chicago, USA on 5th November 1901. As a young child, he earned pocket money
by drawing pictures for people. When he was older, he was a cartoonist for the school newspaper.
In 1919, Disney started a job at an art studio in Kansas City. He decided to become an animator and opened
his first animation company. Disney cartoons were very successful. Disney and his brother, Roy, decided to
open a cartoon studio in Hollywood.
In 1928, Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse. Mickey was soon everyone’s favourite cartoon character.
In 1934 Disney started to work on the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He released the film in 1938. It
earned eight million dollars. That was a lot of money in 1938!
In the late 1940s, Walt Disney started to design a theme park. After a lot of planning and work, Disneyland
opened in California in 1955.
Walt Disney died in 1966, aged 65, after a lifetime of amazing achievements.

Olivia Hi David. Did you have a good time in Madrid?

David No, I didn’t. It was a disaster.
Olivia Really? Why?
David Well, I went to the airport on Friday, but I didn’t fly until Monday.
Olivia Monday? Why not? Did you forget your passport?
David No, I didn’t. The flight didn’t leave on Friday because there was a problem with the weather.
Olivia Really? I didn’t know that.
David Yeah, there was snow and ice in London so it was impossible for the planes to leave the airport.
Olivia Did you go to a hotel?
David No, I didn’t. I stayed in the airport all weekend.
Olivia No! Where did you sleep? Did you have a bed?
David No, I didn’t. There weren’t any beds! I was lucky because I had a chair.
Olivia A chair?!
David Yeah, but lots of people didn’t have chairs. They slept on the floor and on tables.
Olivia Poor you, David! But did you arrive in Madrid on Monday?
David Yes, in the evening. But that wasn’t the end of my problems.
Olivia Why not? What happened?
David Well, we arrived in Madrid, they checked our passports and then we waited for our bags. Guess
what? My bag wasn’t there.
Olivia Oh, no! Was it on a different flight?
David Yes. My bag was in Moscow, not Madrid!
Olivia What a disaster!

Presenter Hello and welcome again to ‘Chit Chat’. On today’s programme we’re talking about bad days.
Dan, Holly and Will all had bad days last week. Dan, what happened to you?
Dan I had a really bad day on Monday. My mobile phone usually wakes me up. But I didn’t hear it last
Monday so I woke up late and I didn’t have time for breakfast.
Presenter Oh no. What happened next?
Dan I ran out of the house and cycled to school. Then it started raining and I got really wet and cold.
Presenter And were you late for school?
Dan Yes. I was 15 minutes late for my first lesson and my teacher was really angry.
Presenter Oh dear. That sounds like a bad day. What went wrong for you last week, Holly?
Holly Lots of things. I had a terrible week.
Presenter Really? What happened?
Holly I was sick for three days – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I had a cold and a temperature. I
also had a terrible headache so I didn’t go to school. I was really bored at home.
Presenter But did your week get better after that?
Holly No! On Thursday I went to school and there was a science test. I didn’t know the answers to any
of the questions.
Presenter That’s awful.
Holly And on Friday, I left my mobile phone on the bus. I went to the bus station, but they didn’t have
it. I was really sad. It was a present from my mum.
Presenter Have you got it now?
Holly Yes. My friend found it behind the seat.
Presenter Well one good thing happened then. Will, tell us what happened to you last week.
Will I fell over in a football match and broke my finger. Look.
Presenter Ouch! It looks really painful.
Will Well, it hurt for a few days but it doesn’t hurt now.
Presenter Did you go to hospital?
Will Yes. I had an x-ray. The main problem is that I can’t play football for ten weeks. So I’m going to
miss the football team’s trip to France.
Presenter Oh, that’s terrible! After the break we’re going to hear about some more bad days. Phone us
with your stories on 0845 ...

Ruby I’m planning a trip at the moment.
Oscar Really?
Ruby Yes. I’m going to go camping with my cousins next month and we want to know about good
campsites. You go camping a lot. Maybe you can give me some advice.
Oscar OK. I went camping three times last year. In June I went camping in Scotland. The campsite was
called Sunshine Shores.
Ruby And did you get a lot of sunshine?
Oscar No. The weather was terrible!
Ruby Oh dear!
Oscar But it was a good holiday. There were lots of facilities on the site. There was a sports centre with
a swimming pool. I played tennis and basketball there.
Ruby That sounds fun.
Oscar Yes. There was a restaurant there too. But we didn’t use it because we cooked our own food.
Ruby Hmm... It’s a long way to Scotland, though. Too far for me, I think ...
Oscar OK. My brother Pete and I went camping in Dorset in July.
Ruby What was that like?
Oscar Amazing! We were there for two weeks and we had perfect weather every day. We went surfing
a lot.
Ruby What did you do in the evenings?
Oscar We cooked our dinner. Pete played his guitar and we all sang.
Ruby Great! What was the name of the campsite?
Oscar Erm… the campsite was called Bailey Farm.
Ruby Great. Now what about the third place you went to?
Oscar That was in August. We went to a place in Devon. The campsite was called Meadow View. It
was beautiful. There was a river there and we saw lots of beautiful birds.
Ruby What facilities did the campsite have?
Oscar Toilets and showers, that was all! It was a very quiet place. But we took our bikes with us and we
cycled to a little beach every day.
Ruby Which campsite did you like best?
Oscar They were all good, but I think my favourite was the campsite in Devon. It was so relaxing.
Ruby Sounds wonderful. I’m going to look it up on the internet when I get home.

Narrator Key Competences Diagnostic Test
Interviewer Hello, and welcome to this week’s episode of Students in Science, with our special guest, Emily
Walker. Hello, Emily. What are you going to tell us about today?
Emily Hello. Well, I’m going to tell you about an elephant care-centre in Thailand. They’re looking for
volunteers to work in the centre. Volunteers pay to work in the centre for between one and three
weeks. And this money pays for the cost of looking after the animals.
Interviewer That sounds amazing! What do volunteers do at the centre?
Emily They help look after the elephants. Every morning they walk to the forest, collect the elephants
and walk back to the centre with them. At the centre, they feed them, and help wash them in the
river. Then they clean the elephants’ shelters and in the afternoon they take them back to the
forest.
Interviewer What do the elephants eat?
Emily Fruit … and lots of it! The volunteers go to local farms and collect pineapples and bananas for
the elephants twice a week.
Interviewer And where is the elephant care-centre?
Emily It’s in Tha Yang, in south Thailand. It’s about 100 miles from Bangkok and about 15 miles from
the beach. It’s a very beautiful place.
Interviewer Well, thanks for telling us about the centre Emily. It sounds like a wonderful place.
