Reading

3 Read the text about the telegraph. Choose the best

heading (a or b) for each section (2–6).

The telegraph 1 The original telegraph

The word ‘telegraph’ originally described a system of

sending signals using flags or tall poles. Later, the word was

used to describe the system of carrying news by electricity.

2

Samuel F.B. Morse (1791–1872) is best known as the

inventor of the telegraph and of Morse code. Morse used

the discoveries of other scientists who had studied electricity

but he was the one who put their ideas into practice.

3

Morse was born in Massachusetts. He went to college and

became interested in electricity. However, he decided

to earn his living as an artist. He became a well-known

portrait painter. He travelled widely in Europe, painting

and studying art but also developing his knowledge of the

properties of electricity.

4

On his voyage home from Europe to New York in 1832,

Morse met another passenger, Dr Charles T. Jackson. Jackson

described some experiments with electricity that he had

seen in Europe. During these conversations, Morse started

developing his ideas for an electromagnetic telegraph.Later, in 1837, Dr Jackson tried unsuccessfully to say that he

had invented the telegraph. But other passengers who had

been on the ship supported Morse.

5

Morse was appointed Professor of Painting and Sculpture at

New York University in 1832. For the next twelve years, he

worked to develop the telegraph. But it wasn’t until 24 May

1844 that the first Morse telegraph message was sent.

6

Until 1877, all rapid long-distance communication

depended upon the telegraph. But that year, a rivaltechnology developed which had been invented a year

earlier by Alexander Graham Bell – the telephone!

Reading

3 Read the text about sign language. Choose the best

heading (a or b) for each section (2–6).

Sign language 1 A system of visual communication

Sign language or ‘signing’ should not be confused with

miming. Miming is a performance art. Sign language is

a form of visual communication. It has its own rules for

grammar. The signs are made with the hands and face.

2

There is no universal form of sign language. Different

sign languages are used in different countries. British Sign

Language (BSL) is different from American Sign Language (ASL).

3

One in seven of the UK’s population is either deaf or hard-

of-hearing. This means there are over 8,000,000 deaf and

hard-of-hearing people in the UK. However, only 70,000 of

them use British Sign Language.

4

A sign language appears whenever there is a large enough

population of deaf people. We do not know who ‘invented’

the first sign language. One of the oldest European sign

languages is probably Old French Sign Language. This was

the language of the deaf community in 18th century Paris.

5

We can find the earliest records of Old French Sign Language

in the work of the Abbé de l’Epée (1712–89). After meeting

two sisters who communicated in sign language, he became

aware of a community of 200 deaf Parisians. Epée used

their sign language to develop his own sign system.

6

Epée established deaf schools in France. These schools then

developed around the world and influenced other sign

languages, including American Sign Language. From the

dictionaries of sign language that Epée published, we can

see that his signs are related to sign languages today.

1 (a) A system of visual (b) A system of miming

communication

2 (a) One sign language (b) More than one sign

language

3 (a) The number of deaf (b) The population of the UK

people in the UK

4 (a) The first sign language (b) Old French Sign Language

5 (a) The signing (b) Abbé de l’Epée

T HE I NUIT

1 The Inuit people

The Inuit are the native peoples

of the north of America and

especially of Arctic Canada and

Greenland. In 1977, the word ‘Inuit’ (meaning ‘people’) was

officially adopted to replace the term ‘Eskimo’.

2

The traditional Inuit diet consists mainly of fish, seals and

whales. The seal is the most important winter food both forthe Inuit and their dogs. It also provides clothing, materials

for making boats and tents, as well as fuel for light and heat.

3

Inuit arts such as carving, textiles and throat singing are

popular today, not only in Canada but globally. Throat

singing is traditionally performed by two women who stand

facing each other. One singer begins by singing a short tune

which she repeats with silent gaps between each repetition.

The other singer fills the gaps with a different tune. The

competition usually lasts up to three minutes until one of

the singers starts laughing or is left out of breath.

4

Nowadays, some Inuit singers such as Tanya Tagaq Gillis

perform as solo throat singers. Tanya is well-known

internationally for her performances with the pop musician

Björk. In 2005, she won ‘Best Female Artist’ award at the

Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards.

5

Traditional Inuit games and sports are an important part of

the bi-annual Arctic Winter Games, which began in 1970.

In one Inuit game called ‘One-Foot High Kick’, the athlete

jumps from both feet, tries to kick the target (shaped like aseal) with one foot, and then lands on this kicking foot. In

another Inuit game, ‘Sledge Jump’, the athlete must jump

over sledges for as long as possible.

T HE I NUIT

1 The Inuit people

The Inuit are the native peoples

of the north of America and

especially of Arctic Canada and

Greenland. In 1977, the word ‘Inuit’ (meaning ‘people’) was

officially adopted to replace the term ‘Eskimo’.

2

The Inuit were traditionally hunters and fishermen. At sea,

they hunted whales, walruses and seals. Their boats, madefrom seal-skin, were called ‘qajait’. Europe later copied the

design of these boats and called them ‘kayaks’. Nowadays,

Inuit work in industries such as mining, oil, administration

and tourism. Many still earn extra money by hunting.

3

Inuit men and women traditionally wore watertight boots,

thick trousers and a ‘parka’ (a pullover jacket), all made

of skins and furs. The hood of a woman’s parka was often

made extra large to protect her baby from the icy wind

when held against the mother’s back. Like the ‘Inuit’ word

‘kayak’, the word ‘parka’ has been borrowed by other

languages to describe this type of jacket.

4

Inuit art is of great interest today, not only in Canada but

globally. One of the most famous Inuit artists is Pitseolak

Ashoona, who died in 1983. Her pictures of monsters and

spirits from Inuit legends, as well as scenes of traditional Inuit

life, can now be seen in galleries around the world. The largest

collection of Inuit art is in Canada’s Winnipeg Art Gallery.

5

The film Atanarjuat: the Fast Runner , based on an ancient

Inuit legend, was written, filmed, produced, directed andacted almost entirely by Inuit. It is the first feature film

with all the dialogue in Inuktitut, the language still spoken

by the Inuit tribes of northern Canada. The film won the

Caméra D’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001.

1 The first / First , how many types of camel are there?

2 Then / Well there are two: the Bactrian or ‘Asian’ camel

which has two humps, and the Dromedary or ‘Arabian’

camel which has one hump.

‘3 Next / After , how big are they? A camel stands from

1.8 to just 4 over / on 2 metres tall at the shoulders and

weighs from 250 to 608 kilograms – 5 sorry / excuse,I mean 680 kilograms.

‘Now 6 for looking / let’s look at the purpose of the

camel’s hump. Most animals store fat in their bodies,

7 but / except only camels keep most of their fat in a

hump. The main 8 reason / cause for this is that if food

is hard to find, the fat in the hump provides energy for

the camel.

‘9 In the end / Finally , how do people use camels? In

lands at the edge of the deserts, camels turn water

wheels to irrigate fields and carry grain to market

places. Deep in the deserts, camels are almost the onlymeans of transport and the source of food and clothing.

3 Read the text about tigers. Match the headings (a–f)

with the sections (1–6).

Tigers(Panthera tigris)

1 Subspecies of tiger

There are five different subspecies

of tiger which are still alive today:

Siberian, Indo-Chinese, South China, Bengal and Sumatran.

The Bengal Tiger is the most common kind of tiger.

2

A tiger will usually have more than a hundred stripes on its

body, varying in colour from light brown to black. They are

the biggest and heaviest cats in the world. Male tigers weigh

200–320 kg and are 2.6–3.3 metres long. At night, tigers cansee six times better than humans.

3

Tigers hunt animals such as deer, wild pigs, water buffalo,

young elephants and sometimes leopards and bears. If

a tiger kills a human, it is usually because the animal is

injured or ill and unable to hunt its usual food.

4

Unlike some big cats such as lions, adult tigers live alone

(except for mother tigers with their cubs). Tigers can hunt

more successfully alone than in groups. Young tigers live

with their mother until they are two or three years old, thenthey find their own territories.

5

A century ago there were over 100,000 tigers, but now there

are fewer than 2,500 adult breeding tigers in the wild and

they are an endangered species. The biggest threat to tigers

comes from humans, who destroy their land and often kill

them for their fur. Also, parts of the tiger’s body are used in

traditional Chinese medicine.

6

It seems likely that the last known wild South China tiger

was shot and killed in 1994. There are about 59 South Chinatigers in captivity in China, but it is predicted that this tiger

will eventually become extinct. The South China tiger is the

most endangered subspecies of tiger today.

Reading

3 Read the text about polar bears. Match the headings

(a–f) with the sections (1–6).

Polar Bears

(Ursus maritimus)

1 Population

At present, polar bears are not

an endangered species. There are

thought to be 25,000–40,000 polar bears in the world.

2

Polar bears are found in the northern areas of Alaska,

Greenland, Canada, Russia and on the Arctic islands of

Norway.

3

The polar bear’s whole body is furred, even the bottom of its

paws. That helps to prevent bears from slipping on the ice.

Male polar bears generally weigh 350–680 kg. Polar bears

are exceptional swimmers. They also have an excellent sense

of smell and can locate seals up to 64 km away.

4

The most important time for a polar bear is from April to

July when there is a huge seal population for them to hunt.

They usually kill a seal every five to six days at this time.

The bears can then store fat to give them energy later, when

they may have to wait days or even months between meals.

5

Polar bears travel an average of 24 km a day and are the

most nomadic of all bear species. As the ice moves north in

the summer months, polar bears travel with it and continue

to hunt.

6

The biggest threat facing polar bears today may be global

warming. Longer ice-free periods mean that polar bears

are left onshore and unable to get food. They must wait

until the ice freezes and they can hunt again. Another

globally produced danger comes from chemical pollutants

that get into the Arctic system and into the seals that thebears eat. A third threat comes from plans for gas and oil

developments in north-eastern Alaska, which is a favourite

area for female polar bears to build their dens and have

their cubs.

(b) A nomadic life

called Jesse. The sports coach at this school saw Jesse

cars, motorcycles, horses and dogs. He toured with the

Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, running against

horses in an exhibition before every game.

5 He became a successful public speaker and started

his own public relations company. He also sponsored

and took part in many youth sports programmes in

underprivileged areas. He died in 1980 but his work

THE CREATOR OFSHERLOCK HOLMES

f Although the Doyle family

were wealthy, Arthur’s father

was the black sheep of the

family because of his problems

with alcohol.

1 She loved books and

was a wonderful storyteller.

Arthur described how his mother’s voice would sink

to a ‘horror-stricken whisper’ when she reached a

particularly dramatic part of a story.

2 He was sent to a boarding school for seven years

and hated it. His only moments of happiness were when

he wrote to his mother and when he played sport.

3 He practised medicine and specialised in eye

care until 1891, when he became a full-time writer. He

returned to work as a doctor during the South African

War (1899–1902).

4 Other Sherlock Holmes novels followed. At one

point, Doyle felt that he had had ‘an overdose’ of

Sherlock Holmes and ‘killed’ his detective in The Final

Problem, published in 1893. However, Doyle’s readerswere so disappointed that he decided to bring Sherlock

Holmes back to life in a story called The Empty House,

published in 1903. By the 1920s, Doyle had become one

of the highest paid writers in the world. He died in 1930.

5 They have been translated into more than fifty

languages and made into plays, films, radio and

television series, a musical comedy, a ballet, cartoons,

comic books and advertisements.

(a) When he was nine, Arthur’s wealthy relatives paid for

him to be educated in England.(b) Doyle’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’ stories remain popular

throughout the world.

(c) Arthur married Louise Hawkins in 1884 and graduated

as a doctor the following year.

(d) Arthur’s mother, Mary, was the most important influence

on him.

(e) Doyle’s first ‘Sherlock Holmes’ novel was published

in 1887.

( f) Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in

Edinburgh, Scotland.

EXERCISE 1

Anna: Good evening and welcome to your community radio

station. I’m Anna and with me presenting this evening’s

programme is Tony.

Tony: Hi! It’s great to be with you all. Anna and I are both sixteenand we go to the same school. We’re really enjoying being

in the radio team, and we hope you like listening, too.

First, Anna’s going to tell you something about herself.

Anna: Thanks, Tony. Right, well, my family are from Poland. I was

born there, in Warsaw. We moved here – to Manchester –

six years ago, when I was ten. My dad’s an engineer and

my mum’s a nurse. I’ve got a younger sister and an older

brother. My main hobby is playing football. I’m pretty good

at it. Last year I was captain of the girls’ under-16 team at

school. My best subject at school is chemistry. I love doing

all the experiments. I want to study chemistry at university,

then perhaps be a chemistry teacher. I think it’s a very

exciting and important subject. I’m really into green issues,

too. My first radio report was about a project to clean our

rivers. My next report is about traffic pollution in the city

centre. That’s a problem for all of us, so I hope you’ll listen

next Tuesday. And now it’s over to Tony.

Tony: Thanks, Anna. Well, I’m Tony Evans and I was born

here in Manchester, and I’ve lived here all my life. It ’s a

really cool city with lots going on. My parents are both

teachers, but luckily they don’t teach at my school. I’ve

got two older brothers but no sisters. My main hobby is

photography. I like taking photos of buildings best. I’m not

so keen on taking photos of people or animals. My best

subject at school is definitely art, but I don’t think I’ll go

to art college. I’d really like to go to university and study

computer science. My ambition is to work as a journalist.

My first radio report was about Manchester Art Gallery. It’s

one of my favourite places in the city. My next report will

be an interview with a local artist, talking about her life

and her paintings. I won’t give away her name now: you’ll

have to listen next Monday evening to find out who it is.

EXERCISE 2

Good morning. It’s eight o’clock on Saturday, March 13th. This isCaroline Stewart with the national and local news.

The Prime Minister has just arrived in Washington, where he will

have a series of meetings over the next three days. He will then

fly straight to Germany for the European conference on climate

change.

There was a bank robbery in the centre of Birmingham in the

early hours of this morning. £816,000 was stolen. The police are

watching airports and seaports because they believe the robbers

may now try to leave the country. Anyone with information should

ring the police action line on 0121 376 5978.

All the top fashion designers from Paris and Rome are in London

this weekend for the summer fashion show. This summer, we’ll

Listening Skills Tapescriptsee very bright colours for both men’s and women’s clothes, in

contrast to the deep purples and dark greens of last winter’s

fashion collection.

In sport, world athletes are competing in Austria this weekend. The

main events will be televised on Channel 1 this afternoon, starting

at half past one. The first race will be the men’s 400 metres, in

which we have two British runners.

And now to local news, and the latest report on the fire at the

North Street clothes factory, which started at about half past ten

last night. 500 people were moved from their homes near the

factory to the community centre, where they spent the night. The

fire is now under control and nobody was hurt. People are now

starting to return to their homes, but North Street will remain

closed to traffic for the next few hours.

And, finally, the weather. Today looks good: bright and dry over

the whole country. Tomorrow there’ll be some rain in the north,

but it’ll remain dry in the south.

And now back to …

Modules 3 & 4

EXERCISE 1

Man Welcome to the What’s On information for Saturday 18th

EXERCISE 2

Emma: Hi, Tom. I’ve just got my pocket money so I’m going

shopping. Do you want to come?

Tom: No thanks. I don’t like going to your sort of shops. You

spend hours looking at clothes. I’ve got my pocket money,

too. Do you get some every week?Emma: Yes. My parents give it to me every Saturday.

Tom: So do mine. I get £16 a week. And then my grandparents

give me some money once a month, when we visit them.

Emma: That’s nice of them. I get a bit more than you: £20 a week

from my mum and dad. But I don’t get money from my

grandparents very often: just on my birthday. Do you have

to do a lot of chores at home to earn your pocket money?

Tom: Well, not too many. I always take our dog for a walk when I

get home from school. But that’s fun. He’s a great dog, and

he loves going to the park. And I clean my dad’s car, too.

And I’m supposed to do the washing-up at weekends, butI really hate washing-up so my sister always does it. What

about you?

Emma: Well, I usually do the washing-up on Sundays. I don’t mind

doing it. And I tidy my room. I’m supposed to help with

the shopping on Saturdays, too. But I’m usually out with

my friends, so I don’t do that. I like shopping for clothes,

but not for boring things like food.

Tom: Do you spend a lot on clothes, then?

Emma: Oh, yes. I spend most of my pocket money on clothes. And

I often go to the cinema and that’s pretty expensive. Oh,

yes: and I buy quite a lot of sweets.

Tom: Oh, I don’t. I spend most of my pocket money on DVDs. I

like the cinema, but I don’t go very often. At the moment,

I’m trying hard to save something every week. I’ve got

about £45 in my savings account.

Emma: That’s a lot. I’ve only got about £10 left in mine. I should

save more, because I need a new mobile phone. What are

you saving up for?

Tom: My next holiday. We’re going to Spain for three weeks.

Emma: Oh, cool! You are lucky. I’d love to go to Spain …

Modules 5 & 6

EXERCISE 1

As you know, Fair Trade is about better prices, decent working

conditions and fair trading for farmers and workers in the

developing world. Several listeners have asked how Fair Trade

started and how it has developed in the UK. So I hope you’ll findthese facts interesting.

Fair Trade labelling was first introduced in the Netherlands in late

1988. In fact, the very first Fair Trade consumer guarantee was

given to coffee from Mexico in 1988. It wasn’t until 1994 that the

UK first used the Fair Trade mark on organic chocolate and later

in the year for tea and coffee. Over the next few years, Fair Trade

coffee and tea became more widely available and popular in the

UK. And gradually other products were introduced. For example,

the first Fair Trade honey was sold in the UK in 1998 and the first

Fair Trade bananas were sold in UK supermarkets in January 2000.

Did you know there are Fair Trade towns? A town called Garstand

in the north of England declared itself the ‘world’s first Fair Trade

town’ in May 2000. By March 2005, there were a hundred Fair

Trade towns in the UK.

In 2001, Fair Trade sales in the UK reached £30m and sales rose in

2002 to £45m.

Over the years, more and more Fair Trade products have become

available in UK shops. Fair Trade fruit juices first appeared in

2001. Then, in 2002, three new Fair Trade foods were introduced

to the UK market: mangoes in January, the first Fair Trade cake in

October and pineapples in December. By 2003, there were over

130 different Fair Trade products on sale in the UK. By 2004, the

number of Fair Trade products available in the UK reached 350.In 2004, the new products included roses, footballs and wines.

The world’s first Fair Trade coconuts became available in UK

supermarkets in 2005. In that year, 2005, the number of Fair Trade

products was 700 and in 2006 it reached 1,500. There’s no doubt

that, in the future, …

EXERCISE 2

Jim: Hi Sue. How are things?

Sue: Not too bad, thanks. By the way, have you finished your

environment questionnaire yet?

Jim: Not quite. In fact, I’d like to check one of the questionswith you if you’ve got time. I really don’t like doing

questionnaires.

Sue: Oh, I do! But I think my family’ll get a very low mark for

‘saving water’.

Jim: Why’s that?

Sue: Well, we seem to use an awful lot of water. Take the first

question, for example, about having a shower or a bath …

Well, I sometimes have a shower, but I usually have a bath.

I just love lying in the bath and listening to my music.

Jim: Oh, I always have a quick shower. Having a bath takes too

long. It just wastes time. Actually, I think my family should 67

Student A and Student B




get a high mark in that section because we haven’t got a

dishwasher, and my mum uses the washing machine only

about once a week. But, of course we’re a small family:

just my parents and me. You’ve got a brother haven’t you?

Sue: I’ve got two. And they both love playing football. My mum

uses the washing machine about three times a week. Oh,

and we’ve got a dishwasher which we use once a day.

Anyway, what question did you want to check?

Jim: The one about what you drink. Does it just mean how

much water you drink, or everything you drink?

Sue: Well, I thought it meant everything you drink. In my

answer, I’ve said I drink about a litre of water a day. And

then I’ve put that I drink fruit juices and tea, but I don’t

drink coffee or fizzy drinks.

Jim: Right. So … I’ve already put that I drink one and a half

litres of water a day and I can put my other drinks now. So

I can add milk, fruit juices and hot chocolate. But I don’t

drink tea or coffee. Thanks a lot, Sue.

Sue: No problem.

Jim: Actually, I’m quite thirsty, now. There’s some pineapple

juice in the fridge. Would you like some?

Sue: Oh, yes please. That’d be great …

Sonya: Hi.

Pete: Hi. Are you a one of the new students at the college?

Sonya: Yes. What about you?

Pete: I’ve been here a year. My name’s Pete Willis.

Sonya: Nice to meet you. I’m Sonya Williams. The sports facilities

are great here, aren’t they?

Pete: Yes. I’m into cycling and rugby. What about you?

Sonya: I love cycling too and my other favourite sport is horse-

riding. I like most sports really, except football and hockey.

I suppose that might be because I don’t really like playing

team games.

Pete: Oh, I quite enjoy team games, like rugby of course, and

football. But I don’t like hockey or tennis. There are lots of

different sports clubs here at college. Are there any sports

you’d like to have a go at?

Sonya: Well, I’ve never been sailing and I’d really like to try that.

And I’d love to go snorkelling, too. What about you?

Pete: Well, I’ve been sailing but I’ve never been snorkelling. I’d

like to do that. And I’ve always wanted to go climbing,

especially mountain climbing. That must be a fantastic

feeling, don’t you think?

Sonya: Yes, I’m sure it is. My problem is that I haven’t got a head

for heights. Do you do any sports competitions, Pete?

Pete: Yes. I like cycling competitions. My last race was in April

and I came third. I was pleased because my time was a

personal best.

Sonya: That’s great. Congratulations! I don’t do cyclingcompetitions, but I do some horse-jumping competitions

every year. I was given a new horse to ride in March and

he’s brilliant. We practise together a lot, and in my last

competition in June we came second.

Pete: Well done! That’s really good with a new horse. So do you

want to be a professional rider?

Sonya: Oh no. I know I’m not good enough for that. But I do love

animals and I really want to be a vet. What about you?

Pete: I’m not quite sure exactly what, but definitely a scientist of

some sort: perhaps a chemist or a physicist …

EXERCISE 2

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the spring

fashion collection. We have some wonderful designs and colours

for you today.

Our first model is Natasha, who is wearing the new spring colours

of deep shades of orange and yellow. The orange jacket is made

of silk, and underneath Natasha is wearing a beautiful yellow

blouse, also made of silk. The slightly flared trousers are in the

same yellow material, but with a narrow orange stripe to match

the shade of the jacket. Altogether, this silk outfit is very smart and

stylish, and suitable for both day and evening wear.And now we have our second model: Richard. Richard is more

casually dressed, but still looking smart. The shorter length of

the jacket is a completely new feature for our spring collection:

so different from the long winter jackets. The corduroy jacket is

in a bright shade of red, with plenty of pockets both outside and

inside. Richard’s black T-shirt is made of cotton and has white

abstract designs on the front. The white cotton trousers are baggy

and again have lots of pockets. The finishing touch is a bright red

and white baseball cap. This outfit is really cool.

Our third model is Jason who is wearing a light grey jacket and

matching trousers. Jason is wearing a beautiful deep orange shirt

made of cotton, and he’s chosen a striking gold and black polkadot tie to go with it and to add a touch of fun to the outfit. This is

a really smart suit and would be perfect for interviews, important

dates and more formal occasions.

Finally, our fourth model in this section of the show is Fiona,

who is wearing an extremely pretty knee-length cotton dress. The

sleeveless dress is in brilliant colours of orange, yellow and red.

Over her arm, she’s carrying a short linen jacket in the same shade

of red: that’s a really practical addition to the outfit if the weather

turns cooler. Her shoes are also in the same shade of red and are

made of soft leather.

EXERCISE 1

Good morning, everyone. We’ve called this press conference to

give you the latest news about the kidnapping of Jamie Wilcox. As

you know, Jamie is the only son of Colin and Emily Wilcox. Colin is

a doctor who works at our local hospital and Emily is a well-knownnovelist. Jamie was kidnapped on Tuesday afternoon outside his

school. He is twelve years old and was wearing his green school

uniform. One of his friends, Tommy, was with him at the time

and he gave us some important information about the kidnapper.

Tommy told us that the man was about 40 years old and he had a

silver car. The man said he was Jamie’s uncle from Australia and

he would drive Jamie home in his car. Tommy told us that Jamie

didn’t seem to be worried. In fact, Jamie does have an uncle in

Australia whom he has never met. But, of course, this man wasn’t

his uncle.

When Jamie didn’t arrive home that afternoon, Mr and Mrs Wilcox

reported his disappearance to us and we immediately started ourinvestigation. Several members of the public reported seeing a

silver car, but we didn’t find it anywhere. The next development

was that Mr and Mrs Wilcox received a ransom note on Thursday

morning. The note demanded £90,000 for Jamie’s safe return. The

note instructed Jamie’s mother to take the money to West Park and

to leave it in the phone box there. Of course, we were watching

all the time as Mrs Wilcox took the money to the park. She left the

money in the phone box at two o’clock. A few minutes later, the

kidnapper picked up the money and we arrested him. He is now at

the police station. He told us where he had taken Jamie. We found

Jamie in a flat near the cinema, together with the kidnapper’s

girlfriend. Jamie is now with his parents at the hospital, where

doctors are checking him over. When we searched the flat, we

found two one-way plane tickets to Mexico. The kidnappers were

obviously planning to escape with the ransom money and fly to

Mexico.

We’ll be giving more information about the identity of the two

kidnappers shortly. In the meantime, if you have any questions, I’ll

be pleased to try and answer them …

EXERCISE 2

And here is a summary of the local news in your area.

There was a fire during the night at the art gallery. A member of

the public saw flames in the building at about 2 a.m. and called

the fire brigade. The fire brigade arrived quickly and the fire was

put out within two hours. The fire fighters had removed as many

paintings as they could, and so fortunately most of the paintings

are not damaged.

Police have arrested two men and a woman in connection with

the bank robbery last Thursday. They were arrested in a flat near

the bank. When police searched the flat, they found almost all the

bank notes packed in three large suitcases.

There will be a concert at the Town Hall this evening, given by

the Schools Youth Orchestra. The concert starts at 7.30 but there

are only a few tickets left. Tickets are £7 and can be booked by

phoning 633597.

And now, an important announcement for those of you who

dream of becoming writers. We are organising a story-writing

competition for stories with the title ‘A Murder Mystery’. Stories

must be between 1,500 and 2,000 words long. The closing date for

entries is March 30th. The winner will receive a cheque for £300,

and the winning story will be read out on the radio before the end

of the year.

And here is the traffic update and weather forecast. The traffic

accident in the town centre early this morning caused long delays.

However, I’m pleased to report that the road is now clear, and at

present there are no traffic problems in the town.

And finally, the weather for tonight and tomorrow. The forecast is

for heavy rain overnight, but then tomorrow should be dry, with

perhaps an occasional light shower in the east.

And now, I’ll hand over to John for the sports round-up and latest

football results …
