a wardrobe, a small table for my books and magazines, a desk with my computer on it and some bookshelves. Presenter That’s amazing. What about the kitchen? Edward

Well, the kitchen is quite small, but we’ve got everything we need. There’s an oven, a fridge and a microwave and a sink, of course. There are lots of cupboards for keeping things in. But there isn’t room to eat in the kitchen, so we eat in the living room.

Presenter

And what’s the living room like?

Edward

The living room is really cosy. There’s a big sofa and two armchairs. They’re really soft and comfortable. We’ve got a television, a DVD player and a stereo. It’s my favourite room.

Presenter

So what’s the best thing about living on a barge?

Edward

Well, I love having an unusual home. It’s more interesting than living in a house! But I think my favourite thing is the water. I like watching the canal. I can see ducks and swans swim by. I see other barges go past, too. It’s amazing!

Presenter

I’m sure it is! Well thank you for coming in today and telling us about your home.

Hi David. Did you have a good time in Madrid?

David

No, I didn’t. It was a disaster.

Olivia David Olivia David Olivia David Olivia

Really? Why? Well, I went to the airport on Friday, but I didn’t fly until Monday. Monday? Why not? Did you forget your passport? No, I didn’t. The flight didn’t leave on Friday because there was a problem with the weather. Really? I didn’t know that. Yeah, there was snow and ice in London so it was impossible for the planes to leave the airport. Did you go to a hotel?

David

No, I didn’t. I stayed in the airport all weekend.

Olivia

No! Where did you sleep? Did you have a bed?

David

No, I didn’t. There weren’t any beds! I was lucky because I had a chair.

Olivia

A chair?!

David

Yeah, but lots of people didn’t have chairs. They slept on the floor and on tables.

Olivia

Poor you, David! But did you arrive in Madrid on Monday?

David

Yes, in the evening. But that wasn’t the end of my problems.

Olivia David

Why not? What happened? Well, we arrived in Madrid, they checked our passports and then we waited for our bags. Guess what? My bag wasn’t there.

Olivia

Oh, no! Was it on a different flight?

David

Yes. My bag was in Moscow, not Madrid!

Hello and welcome again to ‘Chit Chat’. On today’s programme we’re talking about bad days. Dan, Holly and Will all had bad days last week. Dan, what happened to you?

Dan

I had a really bad day on Monday. My mobile phone usually wakes me up. But I didn’t hear it last Monday so I woke up late and I didn’t have time for breakfast.

Presenter Oh no. What happened next? Dan I ran out of the house and cycled to school. Then it started raining and I got really wet and cold. Presenter

And were you late for school?

Lots of things. I had a terrible week.

I was sick for three days – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I had a cold and a temperature. I also had a terrible headache so I didn’t go to school. I was really bored at home.

No! On Thursday I went to school and there was a science test. I didn’t know the answers to any of the questions.

Presenter That’s awful. Holly

And on Friday, I left my mobile phone on the bus. I went to the bus station, but they didn’t have it. I was really sad. It was a present from my mum.

Hi, Ruby! I’m fine. What are you doing these days?

Ruby

I’m planning a trip at the moment.

Oscar

Really?

Ruby

Yes. I’m going to go camping with my cousins next month and we want to know about good campsites. You go camping a lot. Maybe you can give me some advice.

OK. I went camping three times last year. In June I went camping in Scotland. The campsite was called Sunshine Shores.

Ruby

And did you get a lot of sunshine?

Oscar

No. The weather was terrible!

Ruby

Oh dear!

Oscar

But it was a good holiday. There were lots of facilities on the site. There was a sports centre with a swimming pool. I played tennis and basketball there.

Ruby

That sounds fun.

Oscar Ruby

Yes. There was a restaurant there too. But we didn’t use it because we cooked our own food. Hmm... It’s a long way to Scotland, though. Too far for me, I think ...

Oscar

OK. My brother Pete and I went camping in Dorset in July.

We cooked our dinner. Pete played his guitar and we all sang.

Oscar

Erm… the campsite was called Bailey Farm.

Ruby

Great. Now what about the third place you went to?

Oscar

That was in August. We went to a place in Devon. The campsite was called Meadow View. It was beautiful. There was a river there and we saw lots of beautiful birds.

Ruby Oscar

What facilities did the campsite have? Toilets and showers, that was all! It was a very quiet place. But we took our bikes with us and we cycled to a little beach every day.

Ruby

Which campsite did you like best?

Oscar

They were all good, but I think my favourite was the campsite in Devon. It was so relaxing.

Sounds wonderful. I’m going to look it up on the internet when I get home.

Interviewer Hello, and welcome to this week’s episode of Students in Science, with our special guest, Emily Walker. Hello, Emily. What are you going to tell us about today? Emily

Hello. Well, I’m going to tell you about an elephant care-centre in Thailand. They’re looking for volunteers to work in the centre. Volunteers pay to work in the centre for between one and three

weeks. And this money pays for the cost of looking after the animals. Interviewer That sounds amazing! What do volunteers do at the centre? Emily

They help look after the elephants. Every morning they walk to the forest, collect the elephants and walk back to the centre with them. At the centre, they feed them, and help wash them in the river. Then they clean the elephants’ shelters and in the afternoon they take them back to the forest.

Interviewer What do the elephants eat? Emily

Fruit … and lots of it! The volunteers go to local farms and collect pineapples and bananas for the elephants twice a week.

Interviewer And where is the elephant care-centre? Emily

It’s in Tha Yang, in south Thailand. It’s about 100 miles from Bangkok and about 15 miles from the beach. It’s a very beautiful place.

Interviewer Well, thanks for telling us about the centre Emily. It sounds like a wonderful place.
