Well, I usually train at the swimming pool after school on
Tuesday and Thursday. And then I train on Saturday morning
for two hours. So… I do about five or six hours of training per
week. And then there are competitions on Sunday.
So … yes, I spend a lot of time in the water!
2 Maria  Hi, Ben, are you busy?
Ben  Hi, Maria. No, I’m not busy. Why?
Maria  Do you want to go skateboarding with me?
Ben  Yes … but I haven’t got a skateboard.
Maria  That’s not a problem. I’ve got two.
Ben  That’s good … but I can’t skateboard very well!
Maria  Don’t worry. I can teach you.
Ben  OK then. See you at three o’clock?
Maria  Great!
3 We’re all very musical in my family. My mum’s crazy about
singing. She sings all the time – in the shower, in the car, even
in the street! And my sister really loves playing the piano. She
has piano lessons twice a week and she’s really good at it. My
dad and I – we’re both really into rock music. Well … I love
playing rock music on my guitar and he loves listening to it.

Dan  Hi, Gemma. Wow – is that a picture of Mr Granger?
Gemma  Yes, it is.
Dan  It’s really good. Do you like drawing, Gemma?
Gemma  Yes, I do. I love it. I draw pictures of people all the time.
Dan  Can you draw a picture of me?
Gemma  Yes, I can, but not now. Maybe this afternoon after
football practice.
Dan  OK, thanks!

Tricia  Welcome to My Favourite Charity and on the programme
today we have Professor of Biology Tony Bremen, who will talk to
us about The Gorilla Organization. Tony, tell us about the work of
The Gorilla Organization.
Tony  Hello, yes, The Gorilla Organization protects gorillas. There
are now only about 800 mountain gorillas in the wild and they
all live in Central Africa.
Tricia  What about in zoos and wildlife parks? How many
mountain gorillas are there in captivity?
Tony  Tricia – there are no mountain gorillas in zoos or wildlife
parks. Zero. None. So, 800 is the total number of mountain
gorillas alive today.
Tricia  Right. So, how do they protect these animals?
Tony  Well, The Gorilla Organization works in three different
ways. First, through education. They send information about the
mountain gorillas to schools in Central Africa. Then the schools
teach young people about these beautiful animals. Second,
through conservation. The mountain gorillas live in forests. That’s
their habitat – they need the forests. So, The Gorilla Organization
trains forest rangers. These people learn how to protect the
forests.
Tricia  So, first, we have education – The Gorilla Organization
teaches people about the gorillas; second, we have conservation
– they protect the forests. And …
Tony  And finally, development. Local farmers want to grow
food. And they use the forests. But this is bad for the gorillas. It
destroys their home. The Gorilla Organization helps the farmers
find new ways to produce food. So, for example, now local
farmers are keeping pigs.

word of it now, but I’m good at French and German, so I think
I’ll learn quite quickly.
2 I’ve got my driving test next month, and I’m really worried
about it. I try to practise as much as possible. There’s a theory
test, and then a practical test. I’m more worried about the
theory test, so I’m revising really hard for it at the moment.
I read my theory book every night and I do some online
practice tests, too. I think I’m actually quite good at driving,
but I just hate taking exams.
3 My sister worked there last year and she says that everyone is
very helpful and friendly. I hope so! For the first two or three
months I’m just going to wash up in the kitchen and clean
the floor … it’s not very exciting. But then I’m going to start
preparing the food and helping the chef. The salary is terrible,
but it’s a great opportunity, anyway.
4 My weekends are busy already and they’re going to get
busier! I play football and tennis on Saturday mornings, and
then I usually go for a long run on Sunday afternoons. But
now my dad and I are setting up a sports club for children
on Sunday mornings. I’m going to teach the children about
different sports, and also about fitness and healthy eating. I
think they’ll learn a lot.
5 I’m trying to practise my French – I studied it for three years,
but then I gave it up when I was fifteen. Now I need to
remember it because it’s really important for me to speak the
language. We’re going to live in Dakar – that’s the capital of
Senegal. I don’t know how long we’re going to stay there. My
mum thinks probably four or five years. It’s an adventure, but I
think I’ll miss my friends.

Tara  Hello, my name’s Tara Kelly, and I want to talk to you today
about my journey by bike from Ireland to Croatia! This time last
year, I couldn’t even ride a bike! I had a lot of health problems
when I was a child and I stayed in hospital for a long time. Now
I’m really healthy and fit, but I wanted to raise money for Guy’s
Hospital in London, where I spent so much time as a child. So I
decided to cycle from Dublin in Ireland to Dubrovnik in Croatia.
I set up a website, and I got some amazing offers of help from
people along the route. I stayed with a different family each
night, and they gave me a good meal and a safe place to sleep.
I usually cycled about a hundred kilometres in one day. But
some days I cycled a lot less, because there are some very big
mountains to go over in Switzerland and Italy.
I started my journey in Dublin, Ireland and took the boat over
to Liverpool. Then I cycled down to the south of England and
took another boat across to France. I went through France,
Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and finally along the coast of Croatia.
There were some very scary moments in my journey. Someone
stole my passport in France, so that delayed me for several days.
I nearly crashed into a car in Italy and then in Switzerland I got
completely lost in the mountains. That was probably my scariest
experience. Fortunately I met a group of climbers, and they
helped me to get back onto the right road.
The final part of the journey was the most difficult. I was tired,
and I missed my home and my friends and family. But it was
also the best part of the journey because the scenery was so
beautiful.
When I got home, I went to London – by plane this time, not by
bike – and I visited Guy’s Hospital. I was proud to give them over
£3,500. It’s been an incredible year and I’ve met some wonderful
people, but most importantly, I’ve raised money for a really good
cause.
