PART 3

WINTER DRIVING Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill Ice might be hiding beneath the melting snow, waiting to send you off the road The car coming towards you may suddenly slide across the road.

Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly Uneven movements can make a car suddenly very difficult to control So every time you either turn the wheel, touch the brakes or increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible.

Imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you Drive so that you wouldn’t spill it.

Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen The more ice there is,

the further down the road you have to look Test how long it takes to stop by gently

braking Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think In general,

allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice Try to stay in control of your car at all times

and you will avoid trouble.

“Although I met cyclists who could easily ride up mountains on their bikes,

which I couldn’t do, I never regretted my unicycle The further away from

London I got, the more amazed people seemed by it” His worst moment came

when he had to drink some dirty water from a stream A serious fever kept him in

bed in hospital for five long days He was determined not to give up and go back

home before he had completed his challenge, but found it hard to carry on because

he felt so weak Yet despite all this, Cliff now says, “If I could affort it, I wouldlike to do something similar again”

for children to work at home in their free time Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly

plan the homework tasks they give to pupils(3) The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school(4).

Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to

their children(5) The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it(2) Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently(6) In Denmark, West Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends(7) In

Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework The children are free to help one

another Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools(8).

Most people agree that homework is unfair(9) A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and

comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on Some parents help their children with their homework Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.

It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework A teacher should suggest suitable

tasks for parents to do with their children Parents are often better at teaching their own children(10)!

PART 2

You will hear a man called Simon Webster talking about being a racing driver

Simon: I do, and they are happy to give advice if I need it I always talk to

drivers with more experience if I’m going to drive on a track I haven’t raced

on before I try to get as much information as possible, so I don’t make any

mistakes

Interviewer: You must get very tired

Simon: Well, we race at weekends, and on Fridays we’re getting everything ready but I usually only do a race every three weeks and not in the winter We race from April to October

Interviewer: I see And what’s the hardest thing for you about being a racing

driver?

Simon: I find it very difficult to take time off I do go away on holiday, probably

not as often as I should But the mistake I always make before a race is to push myself to keep training when really I should rest When I train too much, I’m tired when the race actually starts The thing is I know I can continue to get better

Interviewer: What skills do you need to be a top racing driver?

Simon:You do need to know a certain amount about how the car works but other

people will check the car for you I always think when you’re actually racing it

helps to be a tiny bit frightened as it means you really pay attention That’s

really important – if you stop concentrating it could be very dangerous

Interviewer: A lot of small boys are keen on cars How did you get interested? Simon: My friends were all more interested in football but my dad did a bit of racing I started going to race tracks with him As soon as he let me try, he realised I would be good at it and wanted me to succeed I know it’s really

popular now with kids who watch it on TV but I never did

Interviewer: What about young racing drivers? What advice would you give

them?

Simon: Some people say you should study and go to university first The problem

is, if you do that you’ll be too old when you have enough time If you really want

to be a top racing driver, you need to train and get as fit as you can by going to

the gym Don’t risk playing other sports because you might get injured

Interviewer: Well, thank you very much for talking to us today

Simon: Thank you.
