This knowledge is now being accumulated on a massive computer database that will be widely available. But herbal medicines contain powertully active agerts ard It s.ll too easy to hear something new ‘about & common plant and rush Out and iry it recklessly. Fer exempla, I've boon doing work on how the common herb, 62ge, might help with memory loss. As soon as it's published, what will happen is umaveidabla. Some peoole will take seae every day in the hope of improving their ‘memories, when there's no clinical evidence to show that its going to do any good whatsoever, in fact it may even prove harmful. The point with herbal medicires is that you have to do the proper research and knew what the appropriate dosage is.Part2 Interviewer: Interviewer: Interviewer: Interviewer: ‘CPE June 2006 (300) With us now we have Clive Donnelly, a reader of archaeology at the Uriversty of Roerhide, He's also a qualified diver who has explored wrecks all over the world. ive, diving to sunken ships is highly éangerous— why do people do ik? Wel, for the majcrity af divers there's a special thril in seeing a ship that's lain undisturbed for years, maybe centuries. And a let dream of findng treasure in these ‘surken ships, although in fact there are strict cortrols on what divers are allowed to remove. ‘on? ‘Yes — and as an archaeologist I think these regulations are vtal because. in fact, Wrecks ar@ Ike time capsules of our past eachship’ a unique record of is day. If ‘eny of the ship's cargo is ail eft, for examole, thio might revee! where itetarted ito voyage. Or we can deduce the woodworking techninues of the people who made the ship by looking at niarks left by their tools, or we can find out how the sailors ‘operates the ship by Isoking at any fragments of rope that heve survived. ‘There might be medical instruments that can give us information on health care, or even bits of clothing or personal possessions still survving. It sounds as if you're looking at very similar things to eny other erchasologist? Sute. When you start investigating a wreck yor get busy with your tape measure, you use photographs and video and so on, so fat you can come up with a map of the site, just lke @ terrestiial archaeologst. The only difference is that you're ‘working maybe twenty or thity metros underwater and you've got your eouba tank ‘on your back ‘So the noxt stage is presumably to bring the things up to the surface? Well, in fect it's often possible lo evaluete the significance of the find without disturbing the wreck or its contents, In fact, excavating ships is very much a last resort, If you take artefacts out of the water and bring them up inio the fresh air, they can start to degrade at an aarmng rate. Sea waters coti, i's got a high salt content, and that makes it a greal preserver, But surely there must be some cases when excevation is necessary? ‘We might consider it ifthe site's under threat ~ there's some sort of envronrrental shi, forexample, Like a rise in water temperature?Inteeviowor: Interviewer: Clive CPE June 2006 (€300) Or there's w warship off the coast of Soottand, fer example, which is threatened by seabed erosion... the sand itlies on is gradually being washed away. But in general, things are much sofer unéorweter, For example, wo've brought cannon balls up to the surface and the minute they're out of the water @ chenical change starts between the iron and the air. The eaction can happen so quickly that they get 100 hot to iouch... Really? ‘Yes. and it creates so much pressure that they just shatter into pieces. So objects ‘need conservation treatment from the moment they reach the surface - or even belore. ‘And how do you do this? It Copends on the material. For metal we us? electrolysis - it's quite a simple process; for big things like cannon we can take he equipment down to the ses bed {rom our diving boat or we can doit in the laborary for small objects. What about other materials? Wall, things like wood end leather need differenttreatnent They keep their orginal structure as long as they're wet, but ence they éry out they can just crumble away. ‘So theyre conserved with a spray of water containing specie! chemicals and we keep them under this for months or even years and then after the chemicals have ‘been absorbed, thoy cen gradually be allowed te dry out, But aren't you changing the whole structure... the archeological integrity of the objet? ‘Yes, to @ dagree, but i's offset by the fact that it olfers increased rasvarch ‘opportunities for acacemics who don't happen to be divers, and educational ‘opportunities for schosichildren who are seeiig archaeology in action, And of ‘course, it also allows tre permanent conservation of the ships and their contents.

Having recently read BEL CANTO by Ann Patchett I would strongly recommend this book be added to the list. BEL CAN7O is the aovel of great passion, vhere love, music and langueges: are main themes, Being captured in the host country (poor Latinoamericaa country} the hostages build a close relationship with terrorists and the drama begins. Roxanne Coss, a soprano diva, holés everyone together wth her magnificent singing, her ‘amazing voice, and is admired by tenorists as much as by the hostages. Gen, Mr Hosokawa’s translator, becomes a ‘bridge’ between hostages and terrorists and the outside world. He is a great example of how people in desperation become close, form # very strong connection and find happiness in most unexpected way. His love for Carmen, a terrorist girl, is pure and passionate, something he never experienced in his life betore. Ruben Iglesias, he Vice president of the county, now bostage in his own house, finds happiness and joy in spending time with Ishnael, the terrorist boy, and the bond betweea them is so strong that he is considering of adopting him once they are released. All the terrorist are killed at the end of the novel and such a strong ending breaks ‘up the almos! idylic world of love and happiness where hosteges and terrorists live together. Bel Canto has brought together the most unusual characters under one rect. 1 am looking forward to reading most of the books recommended by other readers and do hhope that sone of them will enjoy BEL CANTO as much as 1 did. ‘Yours faithful ‘Question 5(b) Seript F CONTENT: Gcod reaisaton o! the task RANGE: Fiuert and natural APPROPRIACY OF REGISTER AND FCRMAT: Appropriate ORGANISATION AND COHESION: Well organised and coherent ACCURACY: ltinor and enobtusive TARGET READER: Has a postive effectCeniicats of Proficiency in Engish CPE June 2006 ‘Assessment Crtera for the Speakirg Test (#300) LCP at Cnmnot a Ewope Love C2, atic inal where candies a enecied 8 have 8" epson! communal fe poten fonnsae ‘The CPE Speahing Tet ta st esonsnat cera, ho anal dere bal whch e aod neon fe rtf he examin msbmeponeeeatake ‘Ts tars we canes anf ue we anderen are OF vosbtiy io ed ah semis (4 ek he ns in atts ns eis ropa ah acm i. erties ray lah noalaos whan cs A shone nc gener oh cme Hs, ‘SEpateada Pottenancats vedio tee to Snead ofebem of he angunge cat a ‘a notesdos.
