The world of advertising is changing. Previous generations liked clever adverts which made them laugh but would never allow adverts to actually influence them when shopping. Today's 15-24 year aids, however, have been brought up in a fastmoving world of immediate information from M1V, the internet, computer games and all-day advertising. Advertising is accepted and expected by the young generation, but they don't want to spend time working out what adverts mean. They want less complicated adverts than their parents did. So
adverts are now shorter with onlyone or two scenes. Posters are bigger than they used to be and their messages are clearer. Teens and 20 somethings think that an advertised product is better than other products because the company has money to spend on advertising. Using famous people in adverts is very popular because a lot of young people reaUy believe that the stars use the products they advertise. Adverts change more frequently as well. Nowadays, one successful advert used for a year is not enough - new ones are produced every few months.

serious a football fan are you? I don't mean how often are you going to watch a match, but how much are you spending on goods connected with football? It seems that nowadays you're not really a follower of the sport unless you spend a considerable amount of money on products connected with your favourite club and players. No doubt you and your family own this season's football shirts. And I hope you've got shirts like those the team is wearing for home matches, as well as the ones the players are wearing for away matches at other clubs. Do you read a biography of your favourite player at the moment, or are you preferring to watch videos of him playing in famous matches? I'm sure you buy the club magazine every month to make sure you are keeping up to date with what happens at the club. Football fans spend more money on clothes, luggage, toys and posters than ever before. ' Much more, in fact, than they are spending on tickets to see live matches. Money from selling goods and products connected to the sport is now being a major part of a club's income.

A Never! Volunteers over 80 have enjoyed our projects and given valuable help. However, please be realistic regarding your health and fitness, and always call us for advice. B Some projects may require camping equipment, others require clothing for certain climates, but most require no more than your favourite old clothes. C You do. While your Expedition Coordinator will be able to offer suggestions, part of preparing you rself for an Earthwatch expedition comes in getting yourself to and from the rendezvous site. o Of course! The team leader will often recommend a number of local sights and attractions nearby that would be worth a visit. Dr you might just like to relax in a hammock with a good book. The choice is yours. E On many projects this is possible, but remember that when working in more remote areas, you will have to eat what is available locally. To be sure, check with us first before you join any team. F Much of our work is in wildlife reserves, important historical sites, and national parks. Places range from Inner Mongolia to the Outer Hebrides, from Hudson Bay to Uruguay. On an Earthwatch project you have one-on-one contact with the local people that no tourist will ever have. G You will find some couples on expeditions, but most of our volunteers are on their own. Earthwatch expeditions are a safe way to get to remote or unfamiliar places because you will be met at the rendezvous site and will soon be part of a team. H Most last 10--14 days, but there are also one-week, threeweek, and weekend opportunities available. You are responsible for arranging your own. If you have to apply for one, allow plenty of time, and always ask for a tourist type. You don't need a work permit. J No. The researchers and field staff will teach you every1hing you need to know once you arrive. Most of the tasks are simple, and you will quickly master them. K They are ongoing research projects, run by qualified and respected members of the scientific community. They are not tours, not ecotourism and not adventure travel.

THE PEEL
MINICAR
OU are unlikely ever to see a Peel P50 minicar on the road. There is just one left out of the 100 that were produced in the early 1960s, and it's in a museum. The Peel P50 was the smallest car in the world . Everything about it was tiny, from the 6-litre petrol tank to the 49cc engine. It was just 1.35 metres long and weighed about the same as an 11-year-old boy. It cost £199 when it was first produced In 1962 and had a top speed of about 25 kilometres per hour. The Peel P50 was definitely a town car, intended for short journeys rather than long distances. It was designed to carry one person and a single bag of shopping, anything larger like a big suitcase - would not fit. It even had a handle with which it could be lifted and wheeled around. Picking it up and pushing it was the only way of getting the car to go backwards. Unfortunately, the Peel P50 was too small to share the busy roads with buses and huge lorries, and it died out in 1965 after only three years on the road.

Free to talk AN INTELLIGENT JACKET
F
rance Telecom R&D, the research and development centre for France Telecom, has recently designed a 'communicating' jacket, which can be used in the same way as a hands-free mobile phone. The jacket provides the normal features of a mobile phone without a screen or keypad. The pieces of the extra-flat telephone, weighing 100g, are hidden inside the jacket, the number keys are inside the front edge, and the microphone is in the collar. The user presses the star button to get the dial tone or to hang up, and the caller simply says the name of the person to call, or else dials the number on the keypad part of the jacket. France Telecom R&D is testing the jacket in real situations, to
see what possible users think of it. These tests involve professional people working outside the office (on outdoor projects, for example), non-professional athletes, as well as teenagers and young college students. The results will help France Telecom R&D to improve the jacket's design. The centre has contacted clothing manufacturers interested in using the new technology. Future possibilities include new ways to inform the user of an incoming call. One way heats the material of the jacket near the skin to tell the user there is a call - for use in very noisy environments. Developments like these are likely to prove attractive in many situations .•

Have you ever heard someone speak Udlhe, Eyak or Arlkapu? You probably never will. It is unlikely that Udihe, Eyak and Arikapu spoken in Siberia, Alaska and the Amazon jungle, will survive. About 100 people speak Udihe, six speak Arikapu, and Eyak is down to one . Researchers have 1 discovered/invented that Marie Smith, 83, of Anchorage, Alaska, is the last speaker of Eyak . Languages need at least 100,000 speakers to 2 delay / prevent them from dying according to UNESCO, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation. Experts that 3,400 to 6,120 languages are in 3 threat/danger, and could disappear by 2100. In 1983, Hawaiians started the' Aha Punana Leo organisation to 4 save/keep their language, because fewer than 1,000 people could speak it. This was because the Americans had 5 banned/rejused schools from teaching in Hawaiian at the end of the 19th century. Now however, students have all their lessons in Hawaiian and the number of speakers is around 7,000 to 10,000. 'We just want Hawaiian back where it 6 belongs/owns.' said a spokesperson from 'Aha Punana Leo. 'If you can't speak it in Hawaii, where will you speak it?'

Clarkson became famous when her beautiful voice won the hearts and minds of the ' " United States of America and she was voted the American Idol. The twenty year old from Texas performed live every week for ten weeks to an audience of 25 million on America's biggest ever TV show, despite never having had a professional singing lesson. She received 57% of the vote in the final. 'Nobody really realised I had a talent until I joined my school choir when I was 13. My teacher really pushed me since I was behind everyone else who had been doing it since 4" grade.' Kelly developed Quickly and before long was entertaining audiences in various competitions. She earned a living as a waitress, a chemist's aSSistant, at the movie theatre and even at the zoo! It was a strange chain of events that really put Kelly on the path to music though. Having moved to Los Angeles after graduation, she began sending out tapes of her singing and trying to get into the music industry. However, this all stopped when her apartment burned down leaving her very poor. The young singer made the 24-hour drive home with nothing. It was her best friend, Jessica, who was determined for Kelly not to give up and suggested she tried out for American Idol. Kelly knew nothing about it. 'I went and auditioned for fun and here I am!' Her first pop song went straight to number one In Its first week and she hasn't looked back since. The final ten performers from the show joined up again for the American Idol Tour, which took them from Seattle to New York playing to over 200,000 fans.

As the colleges Exams Organiser, I often have to look after students before they are allowed into the large hall where they take their exams. One favourite story of my is about Sasha - who belonged to Thomas, a student of our. Sasha was Thomas little white mouse and for some reason, Thomas had decided that having Sasha with him during the exam would be lucky for him. Sasha was so small he fitted into Thomas coat pocket, so I didn't notice him to begin with. However, when the directors secretary announced that all students coats and bags had to be left outside the exam hall, Thomas realised he would have to give up that good luck plan of him. And that's how I came to have a white mouse in my desks middle drawer when the colleges fire alarm went off. But that's another story.

Some tea plants at Tregothnan will be ready for commercial use before 2005.
20
A well-known British tea company is interested in ordering some Tregothnan tea for its own shop.
Britain's first tea plantation
High above the River Fal in south Cornwall, a team of gardeners is preparing to grow a much-loved plant for the first time commercially in Britain. On the Tregothnan Estate, fields that were once used to grow potatoes, carrots and peas have become the home of Britain's first tea plantation. In 1999, Tregothnan staff were unsure whether they could grow tea, so they planted five hundred tea plants. They are growing well and there are now plans to cover the hillsides with different varieties of tea all the way down to the river by 2005. This part of the country has a suitable climate for growing tea and because the fie lds face south, Jonathan Jones, Tregothnan's head gardener, is especially hopeful: 'We think we've got the perfect conditions: he says, and he should know, becau se he has just spent three months visiting tea plantations throughout Asia, Australia and Africa, on a research trip. Of course, no one is doubting the demand for the product. 'The British are the biggest tea drinkers in the world apart from the Irish: Mr Jones says. 'We drink on average three cups a day, so it makes perfect sense to grow it here: However, it is not the commonly used black tea that will be grown, but green and white tea. For such special tea, the market is growing by 25 % a year, with some 10% of tea drinkers having tried it. Green tea, which is said to lower cholesterol. reduce high blood pressure and prevent certain illnesses, is far more expensive than black tea, while the even rarer white tea can be sold for ten times the price of black tea. If all goes well, apart from producing the usual dried tea in packets, th e Tregotbnan Estate also aims to introduce fresh leaves, which are believed to have additional health benefits, for sale at supermarkets up and down the country. 'The tea from around the world that reaches the supermarkets at the moment is nine months old, but we could get green tea on their shelves within 24 hours: says Mr Jones . Tea has to be grown for six years before it can be picked for sale, which means that Tregothnan staff will have to wait until 2005 to know whether their efforts have been successful. However, leaves that were picked after three years suggest that these particular plants do produce a light. refreshing and very drinkable green tea. Stephen Twining, the tenth generation of the Twining family to work for the famous tea firm, is positive: 'We do think there's a market for this tea and provided the quality is there, we'd consider having it in stock in our specialist tea shop: Twinings has seen its sales of green tea increase by 43 % this year.

The Art of Travel by ALain de Botton The old saying 'It's better to travel than to arrive' is usually understood as an attack on destinations rather than a positive statement about travel. Indeed, people are always complaining about the horrors of travelling: crowded airports, overbooked flights, cancelled and dirty trains. However, I believe there are some unusual pleasures in the journeys we make. Take the aeroplane, for example. Few seconds in life are more exciting than those during take-off. Waiting at the beginning of a runway, we see familiar locations out of the plane window: grass, a road, modern hotels - the Earth as we have always known it, where we make slow progress even by car. Then suddenly, accompanied by the controlled noise of the engines, we rise smoothly into the sky and a huge space opens up for us, where we can imagine new possibilities in our lives. Trains are another wonderful travel environment. I love the atmosphere of half-empty carriages making their way across the countryside: enjoying the silence inside and the regular beat of the wheels against the track outside. A train journey can be like a dream, where we become involved in different thoughts and are able to recall distant memories. There's nothing like a moving train to encourage the mind to perform properly. Thinking can even improve when parts of the mind are busy with other tasks, like listening to music or following a line of trees. If we are attracted to air or train travel despite their disadvantages, it is perhaps because we feel that these
experiences provide an important alternative to the habits and limitations of our ordinary world.

3 Dear Nigel Thank~or ~ letter. You asked me for advice about your exams. When ou're revising, don't try to go over too much at a tim~ hard for two or three hours and then have a break.~o some more studying, and at the end of the day, give yourself a small reward. Keep notes of w~ yo~ want to revise and plan what to work on each day. When I was doing my exams, I tried to eat healthy food and get plenty of sleep. I went for walks in my breaks and tried to think positively~metime5)I met up with friends for a snack and to talk about other things. Stay calm and don't panic. I'm sure you'll be fine. Mona

As the college's Exams Organiser, I often have to look after students before they are allowed into the large haJJ where they take their exams. One favourite story of mine is about Sasha - who belonged to Thomas, a student of ours. Sasha was Thomas'/'s little white mouse and for some rcason, Thomas had decided that having Sasha with him during the exam would be lucky for him. Sasha was so small he fitted into Thomas'/'s coat pocket, so I didn't notice him to begin with. However, when the director's secretary announced that all students' coats and bags had to be left outside the exam hall, Thomas realised he would have to give up that good luck plan of IHm: his. And that's how I came to have a white mouse in my desk's middle drawer when the college's fire alarm went off. But that's another story.

Tapescripts Part 1 Example
W John, it's Linda. Listen, I haven't left my notebook on the restaurant table, have I? The thing is, I've just got back to the olfice and it's not in my bag. M Well, the waiter's just cleared the table. Hold on, I'll have a quick look around. Okay, got it! It was on the floor ncar where you were sitting. W Oh, I remember now. 1 put it on a chair while I got my coat on. It probably fell off. M I'll bring it back with me in about twenty minutes. Bye. 1 What did the girl do this morning?
M Kate, where have you been all morning? Finishing your essay, 1 suppose.
W Actually I handed mine in yesterday morning, Jamie. I did mean to do some more reading this morning, but it was so
sunny I decided to go for a run instead. M Lucky you. I had a three-hour class and there's another one at two· thirty. M Yes, I know. I'll be there. Must get something to eat first, though!
2 Which house do William and Jane live in? W William, we're lost! I'm sure we've driven past your house twice already ... we're up at the Red House garage now. M Oh dear, it's right down the other end of the street, I'm afraid. Look out for our apple tree in the front garden, we're number 45. W Okay. Shall we just park on the street? M Jane's out, so why not use the garage? I'll go and open the doors for you now. She can leave her car outside when she gets back. 3 Which photograph is the woman talking about? This is my favourite photo of the lions. It's taken from the truck we were in, but because of the camera I used, they look closer than they actually were. [' d noticed two young lions playing together on their own and, after a while, this one ran back to its mother. Just as it lay down in front of her, I pressed the button. . 4 Where will the man meet the woman? M Maria, it's John. I'm stuck in terrible traffic Ilea! the station. It'll take me at least another twenty minutes to get to the bookshop to pick you up. W Okay, why don't I walk over and meet you outside the station then? M Welt I won't be able to stop there. Tell you what, I'll go and park at the market square and wait in the car. That'll be a shorter walk from the bookshop, won't it. W Great, thanks John.

How docs the girl decide to finish the dessert? W Dad, what can I do to make this dessert look a bit special? I really want to surprise Mum tonight!
Why not add some slices of fresh fruit, or melt some chocolate and pour that over the top? W She's not keen on anything too rich, is she. I'll just cut up a pear and a couple of strawberries and put those on. Thanks Dad. M Can't wait to try it. M
6 What time will the train from Birmingham arrive? This is an announcement for customers waiting on platform five for the delayed ten past eleven service. This train was forty minutes late leaVing Birmingham and is now expected at eleven fifty five, on platfonn ten. Would customers please cross the bridge to platform ten (or this service. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
7 What do they agree to buy? W The department store has reduced all its prices by forty per cent during the sale. Don't you think it's time to replace our sofa? It's so old! M Do you think so? What we really need is a proper lamp to go on the table next to the sofa, it's impossible to sit and read there at the moment. W Well, move one of the lamps down from the bedroom then. The blue one would look good on that table. M You're right. Okay, let's go and look for something more comfortable than the one we've got now.
Part 2 W My guest this morning is actor Roger Henderson. Roger, welcome ... M Thank you. W Now, you only became a professional actor three years ago, at 42, but your acting skills go back to your schooldays, don't they? M Even before that, actually. Until I started school. my mother used to take me to a dance group, which I loved. I learned a lot about body movement there. Then, at the age of nine, I wrote my first play, which I wanted to perform on the school stage. It never happened, probably the best thing! W When you were 18, you had the choice of going to drama school or tcacher training college. Why did you go for teaching? M Well, r suppose I was persuaded by my parents. They were worried about my future, though I was confident 1'd find my way as an actor. Even my English teacher at school was encouraging me to try drama, so it was a difficult decision. W I'm sure. Anyway, you became a teacher and spent eighteen years in the classroom. What made you then turn to acting? M It wasn't something I decided overnight. I was still fairly happy in my teaching job, but there was a big change in my life during my mid· thirties. One serious relationship finished and another - with Gill, who I've been with ever since began. It was Gill more than anyone who pushed me towards the stage. W And how did you get your first part, was it a lucky break? IV
ANSWERS
•
M It was, Gill and I went to a small theatre in London to see a new play and as I sat in the audience, I recognised the main actor. She was someone I'd taught several years earlier. Well, afterwards we talked and she introduced me to the play's director, who later offered me a wonderful role in another play by the same writer. W But it hasn't all been good. You were out of work after that play? M Indeed, I was [he typical unemployed actor and Gill had to support me for almost a year before my next job came along, and that was only in advertising! I say only, but advertisements are well-paid and I was thankful, though now, back on the London stage again, I hope I never have to do another one! W So what is your big goal in life? M I suppose I should be happy to go on acting in plays here, though my dream is to get into films and make one over in the States. I already have an agent working on it, so we'll see. W Well, I wish you good luck, Roger. And thanks for talking [0 us. M It's been a pleasure.
Part 3 Okay everyone, thanks for coming to this meeting. I'm going to give you the final details about our geography trip. Now, on Friday, you'll need to come to the back gates of the college, because that's where the coach will be. It'll leave from there at seven thirty, but I want you there at quarter past seven, please, so we have plenty of time to put the luggage on the coach. Talking of luggage, don't bring too much - we'll only be away for two nights! A suitcase really isn't practical in the hills, so put all your things in a small bag instead. Remember to pack some warm clothes, and wear good walking boots and a sensible coat. Oh yes, and thinking back to last year's trip. one essential thing that many people didn't remember was a hat, so don't be like them, will you. It gets very windy up there and that can hurt your ears after a while. For the project work itself, you'll need to take photos, of course, but we'll use the cameras from the department for that. You'll each need a notebook, so you can write down what you find. One with plain paper is probably best, so you can do some drawings too. Now we're booked into the Knellsmere Hotel, that's K-N-Edouble L-S-M-E-R-E and by the way, they have a public phone if you want to ring your parents and don't have a mobile phone. We should get to the hotel by mid-afternoon, so you'll have some free time until we have dinner. I understand they have good facilities there. Sadly, there's no swimming pool, though there's a gym and I know lots of you will- enjoy using that. Right, wen are there any questions?
Part 4 M Hello, Holly. You're not working in the cale this afternoon,
then? W Actually Chris, I've given the job up. Yesterday was my last day. M Really? That's a bit unexpected. The staff there always seem quite happy and relaxed. Were they bad employers then? W That wasn't the problem, it was mc. I was just getting too far behind with my studies and I realised I would have to concentrate on my college work more. M Have you been worried about this for a long time then? W Well no, last term I was able to keep up, and my marks were fine, but there's so much more to do now, what with writing longer essays and having to start revising soon as well. M Sure, but I never thought of you finding it difficult, like I often do! All the way along, you've been at the top of our group and you always appear so confident in lectures and things. W Well, even though you may think that, Dr Garrett certainly doesn't. Although I tried to persuade him everything would be okay, he made me go and see the head of department on Monday. And the first thing she asked me was whether I had a job ... M But everyone at college has one, don't they? We wouldn't have enough money to live on if we didn't do some work. W That's true, but I'd got the balance completely wrong! I kept trying to work extra hours at the cafe, which meant six afternoons some weeks and four nights a week till ten thirty, too. M Oh, I see what you mean, that does seem a bit too much. But won't you still need to earn some money to support yourself? W I'll be alright until the summer, as I've saved quite a lot. The important thing now is college. M Well, let me know if I can help a[ all! W Thanks, Chris.
