music until they have been playing for sereral years, and for a long time there is a big
difference between their playing and reading of music. Macrgaret says that her method
is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always, suggests that pupils who
perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional
methods.

had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn
had come with Amanda, We had come from various places and more of us knew the
area.

sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the other went rock –
climbing and then we changed at lunchtime, Matt and I went to the caves first.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all – round forms of
exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient
muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of
cycling. Because you/re not carrying the weight of your boby on your frrt, it /s a good
form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs, However, with all forms of
exercise it/s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much or too

quickly can damage muscles that aren/t used to working. If you have any about taking
up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice Ideally you
should be cycling ai least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you
good, you should get a little out of breath. Don/t worry that if you begin to lose your
breath, it coul be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This
is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exereise is having the right effect.
However, if you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

Atlantie College
Last week I went to visit Atlantie College, an exeellent private college in Wales
Unusually it gives young people much needed experience of life outside the classroom
as well as opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged betweer 16
to 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon
they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after
people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from
many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of
$20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British, and
many of those can only attend because they receive governmet help.
I really admire the college for trying to encourage internatinal understanding
among young people Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You
learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the

lette (A, B, C or D)
Dear Editor
I am writing regards to the article ‘Is the TV Dead?’ that appeared in your

newspape on the 4th March. The author claimed that with the rise of the Internet, the
TV was becoming less and less significant our lives I find it very difficult to agree with
this view. The TV is still the main way most of us get our entertainment at home. It
offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries at home.
It offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries and
occasionally, thanks to important televised events, it has the power to bring the whole
nation and all ages together in a way the internet never could
Your article was particularly critical of the TV for the poor quality of programs
available on the many channels we now have. It is certainly true that many of the
channels offer nothing more than repeats or low budget programs. However, I wouls
argue that the majority of content on the Internet is also of questionable quality. I agree
with the writer that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Interbet,
but I’m sure most of us still enjoy siting down to the News on TV in the evening just
as much
The writer is correct in stating that the Internet has become our major source for
research and I think this is main strength. However, criticizing the TV for not being as
good is totally unfair. Information prgrams like documentaries are made for their
potential as entertainment, not as research tools, and as such will continue to be
popular with viewers
So in conclusion I don’t think the writer should be so write the TV off. On the
contrary, I think it has many more years left in it!
Yours sincerely

thinking that the wide yellow grass plain was complete desserted of life, almost like
desert. With only a few small thorn trees sticking out throught the veldt, there seems to

be al most no place for a living creature to hide.
However, under those trees you might find small steenboks, sleeping in the
shade, and waiting for the night to fall. There may even be a small group of lions
somewhere, their bodies exactly the same shade as the tall grass around them. In the
holes in the ground host of tiny creatures, from rabbits and badgers to rats snakes, are
waiting for heat to finish.
The tall also hides the fact that there may be a small stream running across they
middle cof the plain. Once clue that there may be water here is sight of a majestied
Marshall eagle circling slowly over the grassland. When he drops, he may come up
with a small or maybe a grass snake that has been waiting at the edge of a pool in the
hope of catching a frog.
The best time to see the animals then. Is in the evening, just as the sun setting.
The best time of the year to come is in late September, or early August, just before the
rains. Then the animals must come to the waterholes, as there is no other places for
them to drinhk And they like to com while it still light, so they can see if any dangers
are creeping up on them.
So it is at sunset, and after the night falls, that the creatures of the African veldt
rise and go about their business.

Summer Jobs for Students
Employers are more and more interested in taking on students during their
holiday periods. Students can do the easier tasks and free up time for their permanent
employees to concentrate on the more demanding ones. Althougth there is little
financial reward for students, it is a great chance to explore their interested and add to
to their CVs. Howeve, few student know what jobs may be avaiable.
Colleges sometimes advertise summer jobs on their notice- boards and in
newspapers, and there are also well- khnow international organization which can help.
Students can also search the wed, find an interesting company and email the manager
to ask what temporary jobs exit. This may sound time – consuming, but students then
get to work in the company of their choice, so it is what I recommend.
As a science student, two years ago I spent ten weeks in a laboratory in
california, helping a group of ressearchers with their work. To begin with, the job
seemed uninteresting because my responsibilities were not clear, but when I started
working on a range of projects , such as writing research papers and creating wed
pages, my attitude changed.

I was paid ennough to cover all my daily needs, so I had no financial worries,
One of my jobs was to prepare educational materrial for school. This was an entirely
new challenge which I enjoyed so much that I decided to train as a teacher ra ther a
reseacher when I got back. My only regret was that I’d been too busy to learn more
about the USA, but then a good summer Job seldom leaves you much free time and

you should be prepared for that.
