Better weather forecast on its way!

EATHER is Britains favourite topic of conversation.

In a country where we can get four seasons in one day, weather-

forecasting assumes a far greater importance than it does in places with

more stable climates.

Current predictions are only

reliable for a few days ahead, but now,

were told we can look forward to

accurate forecasts up to 60 days ahead!

NASAIts all thanks to a new study of the

stratosphere the atmospheric layer

which sits between six and 30 miles

above us.

The study, partly funded by NASA,

says shifting wind patterns in the

stratosphere could help forecasters

predict weather here on earth, two

months ahead.

Changes all that way above ususually take a week or more to work

their way down to where they begin to

affect the weather, giving forecasters

more time to study the patterns.

The study points weather

forecasters towards a new source of

information that hasnt been used

before in weather prediction, said Dr

Mark Baldwin, of North-West Research

Associates in Bellevue, Washington.

And now, we can see it coming.

New forecasting techniques should makeMichael Fishs job a bit easier.

1p 3 Welke boodschap heeft Kieron Connolly voor de lezer?

I T H A P P E N E D T O M E

The night I became a crime statisticCrime has soared in the past

year, it was reported last week.

I must be part of those

statistics because I was

punched in the face on my

doorstep by a man who was

trying to wheedle some money

out of me.

He started walking

alongside me as I was on my

way home late one night. He

asked if he could change some

money with me. I said I wanted

to see the money but the man,

who was about 25, had a

London accent and looked

North African, refused and

accused me, oddly, of

constitutional racism.

By this time I was at my doorstep and refusing to get my moneyout. So he punched me, bloodying my nose and cutting my lip.

I shouted for help, but he ran off.

There have been so many stories about the police not doing

anything in such circumstances that my first thought was not to

report it. Im now glad I did. Because of the mans use of the term

constitutional racism, the police had an idea who he was. But though

they arranged two identity parades, I couldnt pick him out.

I understand, however, that the man they suspect is now in prison

for another offence.

I feel the police did what they could. And they can only tacklecrime if we report offences to them.

I rejected a job ininsurance to live in a tree.Kate Bonner, 32, from Dorset, became a tree protester in1995. She now runs a nursery school.

Ihad always done what myparents expected of me, studying

hard and going to university.

Afterwards, I could either follow the

career path they wanted, or break5

out and do something more

positive.

I had just been offered a job in

insurance, which promised good

pay and prospects. My parents10

wanted me to take it, but

I disagreed with the ethics of the

industry.

Id heard of a tree-protest site

near where I lived at the t ime, in15

Guildford, Surrey. The council was

planning to widen a road and build

a huge incinerator in the middle of

a housing estate. After watching

coverage on the local news,20

I decided that I wanted to make a

difference. Although I had never

protested about anything before,

this felt like the right thing to do.

When I told my parents I was25

planning to become a protester,

they were deeply disappointed.They care about the environment,

but believe the right way to get

things changed is to go through30

your local councillor or to write to

your MP. But, at 23, I was full of

determination.

It was a cold winters morning

when I left. There was only one35

person awake on the site. He told

me they needed long wooden

beams for building tree houses so,

with 60 in my pocket, I went to the

nearest reclamation yard.40

I arrived like Father Christmas

with this truckload of wood and

said, Can I stay?

I was there for the next seven

months. There were about 5045

people on the site. Many, like me,

were from comfortable, middle-

class homes. We went from

ordinary, mainstream lives to a

very basic, communal lifestyle. My50

parents would not visit me on site

and, for the next four years, we

lived separate lives with occasional

phone calls to each other.I built my own very simple tree55

house out of pallets lashed to a

tree. At night, the houses rocked

and creaked like boats, but it felt

incredibly 10 ,even though

I was 30ft up in the air.60


7/21


One day, a passing motorist in

a big, flash car saw me washing

my face in a bowl and yelled: Get

a bath! He probably saw me as

some dirty crusty.65

Everyone found their natural

roles. My job was to get wood and

water. When we needed food, we

hitched into town. A lot of our

supplies came from supermarket70

skips at the back of the

supermarket. On the day we heard

the protest had been successful,

loads of police and council

members showed up and the75

atmosphere was amazing.

Next, I moved to a site at

Lyminge Forest, Kent, where weeventually stopped a holiday

village being built on 440 acres of80

woodland. By then, I was a bit fed

up with the hardships, and I was

missing my family.

I had no regrets about moving

on. I felt I had made a difference,85

and experienced a freedom most

people only dream about. I would

never have got such satisfaction

from selling insurance policies.

I now help run a childrens90

nursery at an education centre in

Dorset, where I am surrounded by

beautiful countryside and people

who believe in an organic,

sustainable lifestyle. My95

relationship with my parents has

come full circle and we are now

much closer than ever before.

pend time with those doing timeInmates and students can learn a lot from a new prison-visiting volunteer scheme,

discovers Fiona Sibley

On Wednesday, Goldsmiths

College student Rae Jenkin will not bespending her afternoon off playing

hockey or watching soaps. Instead,

she will step on to C Wing of Brixton5

prison, and come face to face with an

inmate. She doesnt know who, only

that it will be someone selected for a

visit by the prisons chaplain. Rae will

be there for an hour, during which she10

and her inmate might talk about

television, whats happening in thenews, or what life is like inside or

out.

I wanted to understand what prison15

was like for people, and to offer them

someone to talk to, says Rae, who at

21 has been inside one of Britains

most notorious jails four times.

We spend an hour in the prison,20

once a week. You cant comprehend

spending a whole day in there. It is so

cramped that two people are shoved in

a single cell, and they are allowed out

on to the wing for only an hour a day.25

The prisoners say they are supposed

to get out to exercise once a week, but

it is so understaffed that sometimes

they dont even get that.

If the pilot scheme takes off,30

Inmates, a new prison-visiting

volunteer scheme for students, might

be introduced nationally.

One reformed ex-convict who is in

favour of the scheme is actor Stephen35

Fry. He landed a spell in a young

offenders institution aged 18 after he

stole a family friends credit card and

booked himself in at the Ritz. Many

people have a simplistic approach to40

crime and its causes, but the situationis often more complex than it appears,

he says.

Goldsmiths College wants to make

clear that volunteering is not being45

dull. The Inmatesscheme is perfect for

getting bleary-eyed students to switch

off the television and do something

that might challenge their abilities and

ideas, while improving the lives of50

others.It stinks of credibility, too. Visiting

criminals appeals to even those too-

cool-for-school students who would

never be seen volunteering to take fruit55

to old peoples homes.

The volunteers spent four months

under the tuition of a former East End

gangster and armed bank robber,

Bobby Cummines. He appreciates the60

value of a small gesture of kindness.

I got into crime at an early age, and

went down at the age of 16 for

possessing a sawn-off shotgun, he

says.65

Later I served 13 out of 20 years

for armed robbery, but a judge and a

probation officer both told me I was

worth more. I started an Open

University course to find out why I was70

different and why I had got involved in

crime. People glamorise the lifestyle,


11/21

800013-1-604o 11 lees verder

but mine was a seedy, gutter world.

I learnt how to escape from it through

education.75

Today, Cummines is passionate

about improving rehabilitation schemes

to prevent re-offending. The Inmates

scheme is about chaIIenging peoples

belief systems both the students and80

the prisoners. Its about teaching

offenders to become employable, and

about decent citizenship. We hope

offenders will see another side of life,

and come out of jail feeling less85

inclined to burgle someones house,

because it might belong to that

student. These students can help

prisoners to develop self-confidence,

he says.90This scheme will help us to recruit

volunteers who are younger and from

different ethnic backgrounds, says

Colleen Munroe, who organises visits

for the Prison Service. Prisoners95

should benefit from seeing people to

whom they can relate better than the

average National Association of Prison

Visitorsvolunteer who is generally

white, middle class and retired.100

With four months training and

security clearance procedures to

complete, its not been 21 for these

students, but 32 are fully trained, and

15 are already visiting people in105

prison.

Think you can handle it? A similar

scheme may appear at your university

soon and theres a lot to learn from

doing a bit of time.110

1p 14 What does Fiona Sibley say about Rae Jenkin in lines 1-14?

She is a student who

A has been asked to identify a criminal.

B is facing a prison sentence.

C is taking part in a social project.

1p 15 Rae draws a conclusion about life in Brixton prison (lines 15-29).

Her conclusion is that

A getting a clear picture of it all is very difficult.

B prisoners there have some influence on their daily programme.

C the conditions under which prisoners live are unthinkable.

D there is a lot of aggression among inmates.

1p 16 What does Stephen Fry make clear about the influence of the Inmates scheme?

(lines 30-43)

A It may improve the treatment of young prisoners.

B It may provide a better understanding of how people get involved in crime.

C It will help prisoners return into society after their release.

D It will help young people to stay away from crime.

1p 17 It stinks of credibility, too. (line 52) What does the writer want to make clear in

lines 44-56?

Some students take part because it appeals to them and

A they can skip a few lessons.

B they hope to get better marks.

C they know it wont harm their image.

something missing Matt, her friend,

when she was 13. He is engaged to be

married. Jenna learns that having it

all is not enough and decides to take a

second chance at first love. Now her

biggest wish is that its not too late.

In the end, this is basically your silly,

Initially, Creasy resists Pitas attempts

to make friends, but her charm

eventually wins him over, and he takes

on a father-figure role. Then, one

fateful day, the kidnapping attempt

occurs. Creasy takes several bullets and

is unable to save Pita. And, while he is

in hospital, the transfer of ransom

money goes wrong. When Creasy

emerges from hospital, he has only one

50 things!

BBCTVpresents a countdown of the top 50 things viewers should do once in their

lifetime, as they are being suggested by around 20,000 members of the public.The show travels to far-flung destinations around the globe from the Arctic Circle to the

deepest, darkest jungles and a few lucky viewers get the chance to fulfil their dreams.

Here are two of the things chosen by the public so far.

Fly in a fighter jet

Once on the base you will undergo a brief

medical check-up to ensure you are fit enough

for your flight. It is generally considered that if

you are fit enough to ride a roller coaster then

you are fit enough to take a jet flight.

You will plan everything with your pilot before

the flight - the type of experience you want to

feel, the amount of actual flying you want to do

and the route. Following the flight brief you will

be fitted for your G-suit before being strapped

into the ejector seat ready for take off.

These flights last approximately 40 minutes,

but most people beg to return to earth within 30 minutes.

Dive with sharksSharks are sleek, muscled, agile and a beautiful

sight in the water.

On diving trips near Darwin Island, one of the

Galapagos Islands, you are guaranteed to scuba

dive with schools of hammerhead sharks numbering

in the hundreds. You do not have to scuba dive to

the usual 40 60 metres to see these amazing

creatures. A rock at 20 metres is the perfect

observation post and you will see hammerhead sharks swimming past you from every angle.

In fact quite often you can see their dorsal fins breaking the surface as they cruise by.Whats more, dolphins will escort you to the dive site. What a dive site it is! Diving here you

can expect huge swells, heavy surge, powerful currents ... and big action! This is not a place

for beginners! But as most experienced scuba divers know... no current means no sharks.

At the right time of year you are almost guaranteed to have an encounter with the biggest

and most elusive fish. whale sharks! The whale sharks here at Darwin Island are BIG...

bigger than a London bus! In fact closer to two buses!! And they also oblige and swim

directly by the 20-metre rock.

Whale sharks are harmless filter feeders. There are very few places on earth where whale

sharks appear regularly. Darwin Island is one of those places

Schrijfopdracht

13p 33 InleidingToen jein tekst 12 (50 Things) de voorbeelden van vervulde wensen las, dacht

je meteen aan je eigen droomwens! Je wilt heel graag de Grand Canyonin

Colorado in de Verenigde Staten zien. Onlangs waren er beelden van op de

televisie: het is een grote, diepe kloof en de kleuren van de rotsen zijn prachtig.Veel toeristen trekken er te voet doorheen, maar het lijkt jou juist geweldig om er

met een helikopter overheen te vliegen: je hebt ten eerste een goed overzicht

over een groot deel van de kloof en ten tweede heb je veel tijd om het landschap

goed te bekijken omdat een helikopter langzaam kan vliegen en ook op n

plaats kan stilstaan.

Jij zou de reis naar de Verenigde Staten en de helikoptervlucht zelf nooit kunnen

betalen. Daarom wil je graag meedoen aan dit programma. Je hoopt dat jouw

idee gekozen zal worden. Je besluit een brief aan de BBC te schrijven.

Het adres is:

BBC, Bush House, Nr the Aldwych, Strand, London WC2B 4PH Great BritainOpdracht

Schrijf de brief (in het Engels!) aan de BBC en gebruik de informatie uit de

inleiding bij het uitwerken van de volgende punten:

Stel jezelf voor: (naam, leeftijd, jongen/meisje en land).

Vermeld naar aanleiding van welk programma van de BBC je schrijft en

dat je hebt begrepen dat je nog steeds een wens in mag sturen.

Schrijf op wat jouw wens is.

Noem de eerste reden waarom een helikoptervlucht boven de Grand Canyon

je bijzonder li jkt en

noem ook de tweede reden.

Vertel waarom je datgene wat je graag wilt, nooit zelf zou kunnen

waarmaken.

Schrijf dat je graag zou willen dat jouw idee wordt uitgekozen.

Schrijf een passende slotzin.

Aanwijzingen

Maak een logische alinea-indeling en sla na elke alinea een regel over.

Denk aan je eigen adres en dat van de BBC, de datum, de aanhef en de

afsluiting. (Om je te helpen staat op de volgende pagina een lijstje met

voorbeelden van adresconventies.)Gebruik minstens 100 en niet veel meer dan 140 woorden: datum, adres en

aanhef tellen niet mee. Noteerhet aantal woorden van de inhoudvan de brief

links boven aan je pagina.

BeoordelingBij de beoordeling wordt er niet alleen op gelet of je correct Engels gebruikt

hebt, maar ook of je brief een goedlopend geheel is. Verder wordt beoordeeld of

je alle(9) elementen van de opdracht hebt uitgevoerd. Je mag ook best zelf iets

(zinvols) toevoegen, maar let op het aantal woorden.

SUCCES!
