Presenter In the studio today we have Fiona Stratton.
Fiona’s been around the world, and she’s written
several travel guides about different countries. We’ll
hear about those books later, but first, Fiona’s going
to answer travel questions that listeners have posted
on the Teen FM website. Hello, Fiona.
Fiona Hi, Mike.
Presenter So our first question today is from Karen in
Cheshire. She wants to know … Is it OK to change
money on the street in Bulgaria?
Fiona Well, Karen, many tourists do this in countries
like Bulgaria, but I think you should always change
money in a bank. Compared to banks, people on the
street may offer more money. But If you change
money with a stranger, you may not get the correct
money − or even ‘real’ money. So my advice is, don’t
do it.
Presenter Great. Now, Emma from Essex is going to
Peru before she starts university. She wants to know
if it’s safe to go to remote places alone.
Fiona OK, Emma. Only go to remote places if you’re on
a tour. If you’re alone, stay in more touristy places.
And if you’re ever alone in a dark street and you don’t
feel safe, go towards a well-lit place with lots of
people in it, like a shop or restaurant. The people
there can help you to call a taxi, for example. It’s
always better to be safe. Also, many people don’t use
travel guides, but these guides can tell you which
places are dangerous in a city. That’s why I think you
should always read one before you go somewhere.
Presenter Now, there are a lot of questions on the
Teen FM website about how to avoid crimes like
muggings when you’re travelling.
Solutions Third Edition Pre-Intermediate Tests
Fiona Yes − my best advice is to try to look like a local,
not like a tourist. Try to find out where you’re going
directions and look at maps on the street. And of
course, don’t carry lots of money around with you or
wear very expensive clothes. You don’t want to
encourage muggers to attack you.
Presenter Great. Now, Mark from Manchester wants to
know … Is it safer to use a credit card than carrying
cash on holiday?
Fiona Well, I think credit cards are much better than
cash. If someone steals your credit card, it’s difficult
for them to use it. The criminal won’t know your PIN
number, and in most countries you need a PIN
number to use a credit card now. Oh, and when you
buy something while you’re travelling, make sure you
young people aren’t very good at maths. They buy
things, and then they’re shocked when they get home
and their parents show them the credit card bill.
Presenter OK, and the last question today is from Vani,
in Cambridge. Is it safe to go camping in France?
Fiona Well, Vani, it’s fine to camp in most parts of the
world if you use a campsite. But if you go camping on
the beach or by the side of a road, for example, it can
be dangerous. I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t know the
area really well, unless I was with a local.
Presenter Right, thanks Fiona. Now, about your travel
guides. What …

competition. But next year we’re going to allow eight-
to thirteen-year-olds to enter too. Presenter Thanks very much, Dave. It’s been great to
talk to you.
Presenter That’s great. So what are you looking for?
Dave Ideas, really. Maybe you use a product every
day, but you think it could be improved or changed in Reading
some way. Or perhaps you’ve got an idea for 9

Presenter Great. So how can people enter the
competition?
Dave They need to send us a description of their
invention – whether it’s completely new or an
improvement on an old design. We want to know
what it is, how they thought of the idea and why they
think people would want to use it. They also need to
provide a very good drawing of the invention.
Presenter So they don’t need to actually make the
invention?
Dave They can if they want to. If it’s a simple idea, then
why not build it? But if you’ve designed something
difficult to make, then it’s best to just draw a plan.
Presenter Great. So what happens when people send
their designs to you?
Dave The designs will be judged by a team of five adult
inventors. There are some really famous inventors
taking part. Each adult inventor will choose the idea
that he or she likes best. They will then work on the
design with the young inventor. Cameras will film
them while they are working too. There will be a
special documentary on Channel Ten about making
the inventions.
Presenter Right. And what will happen after that?
Dave Well, then the final inventions will be made into
products. And we hope that they will become
popular, sell and make a lot of money!
Presenter So tell me, Dave. What do you think is the
best invention from the last twenty years?
