Listen to the people speaking about a school uniform and answer the questions below.

1. What does the teenager think about wearing a uniform?

2. What is good about wearing a uniform according to the teenager?

3. Why does the teacher like free uniform style?

Script:

Teenager: Thank goodness, we don't have to wear uniforms at my school now, but when I was at elementary school, I had to wear an awful navy blue jacket; I hated it more than anything else. I don't think I'd like it if they made us wear uniforms now. We should be able to wear things we feel comfortable in. But I can see some good points in wearing a uniform, too. There would be far less showing off, and the girls who can't afford modern clothes would feel much better.

Teacher: The school where I work is uniform-free. I'm sure that the freedom to choose their own clothes allows young people to express their personalities more fully. I'm happy I had the same chance when I was a student. I went to a small village school, and we had no uniforms there.

Listen to the radio programme about Australia and answer the questions below.

1. How do people communicate with each other in the outback* of Australia?

2. How do they get medical treatment?

3. Where and how do children study there?

 Reporter: Welcome to 'Our Neighbourhood', the programme that looks at the different places and conditions that people live in. Today we're visiting the outback, a distant part of Australia far from the main population centres. Imagine you're living on a farm and your nearest neighbours are over 100 kilometres away.

Some people are lucky enough to have email and the internet but many do not even have a telephone line. Everyone has a two-way radio. You can listen as well as talk into it, and it is the most important means of contact with other people. When someone needs a doctor urgently, they use their two-way radio to contact.

The Flying Doctors. That's a special medical service that covers six million square kilometres of Australia. The doctors fly to a patient in a small aeroplane or helicopter, and they say they can arrive at any place within ninety minutes. There are thirteen flying doctor bases in Australia with thirty-eight aeroplanes and helicopters.

Another problem to solve is education. How do you go to school when you're living five hundred kilometres from the nearest one? Some kids go to boarding schools, others have their lessons sent by post. But most outback children use their two-way radios twice a day to listen to their teachers and to communicate with them and with other outback students.

Listen to the three young people speaking about their jobs and answer the questions below.

1. What job does the first speaker have?

2. When does the second speaker find his job unpleasant?

3. Where does the third speaker work?

Script:

Speaker 1:1 have to think about school first of all, because my parents wouldn't let me work if I had bad grades, so I only work during the holidays. Last year I had a five-year-old to look after three times a week. I had to feed her and then put her to bed. She was all right; a bit difficult sometimes, but I liked to play with her and tell her stories.

Speaker 2: It doesn't pay too well, but I'm too young to do any other job. I do a round of about twenty houses in the neighbourhood on my bike. It's only a minute to stop and leave the stuff at the front door, but still, I have to get up around six if I want to finish in time for the school bus. The only problem is when there's very heavy rain or when it's really cold.

Speaker 3: It is a nice place and it's always full, so you really have to be quick. I work for five hours on Saturday afternoons and earn £15 plus tips. It's not bad, and I like the job because I meet a lot of people all the time. Of course, I have no time to stop at a table and chat, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Sometimes you can have a really nasty customer, but that's very rare.
