Better weather forecast on its way!
EATHER is Britains favourite topic of conversation.
In a country where we can get four seasons in one day, weather-
forecasting assumes a far greater importance than it does in places with
more stable climates.
Current predictions are only
reliable for a few days ahead, but now,
were told we can look forward to
accurate forecasts up to 60 days ahead!
NASAIts all thanks to a new study of the
stratosphere the atmospheric layer
which sits between six and 30 miles
above us.
The study, partly funded by NASA,
says shifting wind patterns in the
stratosphere could help forecasters
predict weather here on earth, two
months ahead.
Changes all that way above ususually take a week or more to work
their way down to where they begin to
affect the weather, giving forecasters
more time to study the patterns.
The study points weather
forecasters towards a new source of
information that hasnt been used
before in weather prediction, said Dr
Mark Baldwin, of North-West Research
Associates in Bellevue, Washington.
And now, we can see it coming.
New forecasting techniques should makeMichael Fishs job a bit easier.

1p 3 Welke boodschap heeft Kieron Connolly voor de lezer?
I T H A P P E N E D T O M E
The night I became a crime statisticCrime has soared in the past
year, it was reported last week.
I must be part of those
statistics because I was
punched in the face on my
doorstep by a man who was
trying to wheedle some money
out of me.
He started walking
alongside me as I was on my
way home late one night. He
asked if he could change some
money with me. I said I wanted
to see the money but the man,
who was about 25, had a
London accent and looked
North African, refused and
accused me, oddly, of
constitutional racism.
By this time I was at my doorstep and refusing to get my moneyout. So he punched me, bloodying my nose and cutting my lip.
I shouted for help, but he ran off.
There have been so many stories about the police not doing
anything in such circumstances that my first thought was not to
report it. Im now glad I did. Because of the mans use of the term
constitutional racism, the police had an idea who he was. But though
they arranged two identity parades, I couldnt pick him out.
I understand, however, that the man they suspect is now in prison
for another offence.
I feel the police did what they could. And they can only tacklecrime if we report offences to them.

I rejected a job ininsurance to live in a tree.Kate Bonner, 32, from Dorset, became a tree protester in1995. She now runs a nursery school.
Ihad always done what myparents expected of me, studying
hard and going to university.
Afterwards, I could either follow the
career path they wanted, or break5
out and do something more
positive.
I had just been offered a job in
insurance, which promised good
pay and prospects. My parents10
wanted me to take it, but
I disagreed with the ethics of the
industry.
Id heard of a tree-protest site
near where I lived at the t ime, in15
Guildford, Surrey. The council was
planning to widen a road and build
a huge incinerator in the middle of
a housing estate. After watching
coverage on the local news,20
I decided that I wanted to make a
difference. Although I had never
protested about anything before,
this felt like the right thing to do.
When I told my parents I was25
planning to become a protester,
they were deeply disappointed.They care about the environment,
but believe the right way to get
things changed is to go through30
your local councillor or to write to
your MP. But, at 23, I was full of
determination.
It was a cold winters morning
when I left. There was only one35
person awake on the site. He told
me they needed long wooden
beams for building tree houses so,
with 60 in my pocket, I went to the
nearest reclamation yard.40
I arrived like Father Christmas
with this truckload of wood and
said, Can I stay?
I was there for the next seven
months. There were about 5045
people on the site. Many, like me,
were from comfortable, middle-
class homes. We went from
ordinary, mainstream lives to a
very basic, communal lifestyle. My50
parents would not visit me on site
and, for the next four years, we
lived separate lives with occasional
phone calls to each other.I built my own very simple tree55
house out of pallets lashed to a
tree. At night, the houses rocked
and creaked like boats, but it felt
incredibly 10 ,even though
I was 30ft up in the air.60

One day, a passing motorist in
a big, flash car saw me washing
my face in a bowl and yelled: Get
a bath! He probably saw me as
some dirty crusty.65
Everyone found their natural
roles. My job was to get wood and
water. When we needed food, we
hitched into town. A lot of our
supplies came from supermarket70
skips at the back of the
supermarket. On the day we heard
the protest had been successful,
loads of police and council
members showed up and the75
atmosphere was amazing.
Next, I moved to a site at
Lyminge Forest, Kent, where weeventually stopped a holiday
village being built on 440 acres of80
woodland. By then, I was a bit fed
up with the hardships, and I was
missing my family.
I had no regrets about moving
on. I felt I had made a difference,85
and experienced a freedom most
people only dream about. I would
never have got such satisfaction
from selling insurance policies.
I now help run a childrens90
nursery at an education centre in
Dorset, where I am surrounded by
beautiful countryside and people
who believe in an organic,
sustainable lifestyle. My95
relationship with my parents has
come full circle and we are now
much closer than ever before.

pend time with those doing timeInmates and students can learn a lot from a new prison-visiting volunteer scheme,
discovers Fiona Sibley
On Wednesday, Goldsmiths
College student Rae Jenkin will not bespending her afternoon off playing
hockey or watching soaps. Instead,
she will step on to C Wing of Brixton5
prison, and come face to face with an
inmate. She doesnt know who, only
that it will be someone selected for a
visit by the prisons chaplain. Rae will
be there for an hour, during which she10
and her inmate might talk about
television, whats happening in thenews, or what life is like inside or
out.
I wanted to understand what prison15
was like for people, and to offer them
someone to talk to, says Rae, who at
21 has been inside one of Britains
most notorious jails four times.
We spend an hour in the prison,20
once a week. You cant comprehend
spending a whole day in there. It is so
cramped that two people are shoved in
a single cell, and they are allowed out
on to the wing for only an hour a day.25
The prisoners say they are supposed
to get out to exercise once a week, but
it is so understaffed that sometimes
they dont even get that.
If the pilot scheme takes off,30
Inmates, a new prison-visiting
volunteer scheme for students, might
be introduced nationally.
One reformed ex-convict who is in
favour of the scheme is actor Stephen35
Fry. He landed a spell in a young
offenders institution aged 18 after he
stole a family friends credit card and
booked himself in at the Ritz. Many
people have a simplistic approach to40
crime and its causes, but the situationis often more complex than it appears,
he says.
Goldsmiths College wants to make
clear that volunteering is not being45
dull. The Inmatesscheme is perfect for
getting bleary-eyed students to switch
off the television and do something
that might challenge their abilities and
ideas, while improving the lives of50
others.It stinks of credibility, too. Visiting
criminals appeals to even those too-
cool-for-school students who would
never be seen volunteering to take fruit55
to old peoples homes.
The volunteers spent four months
under the tuition of a former East End
gangster and armed bank robber,
Bobby Cummines. He appreciates the60
value of a small gesture of kindness.
I got into crime at an early age, and
went down at the age of 16 for
possessing a sawn-off shotgun, he
says.65
Later I served 13 out of 20 years
for armed robbery, but a judge and a
probation officer both told me I was
worth more. I started an Open
University course to find out why I was70
different and why I had got involved in
crime. People glamorise the lifestyle,
-

but mine was a seedy, gutter world.
I learnt how to escape from it through
education.75
Today, Cummines is passionate
about improving rehabilitation schemes
to prevent re-offending. The Inmates
scheme is about chaIIenging peoples
belief systems both the students and80
the prisoners. Its about teaching
offenders to become employable, and
about decent citizenship. We hope
offenders will see another side of life,
and come out of jail feeling less85
inclined to burgle someones house,
because it might belong to that
student. These students can help
prisoners to develop self-confidence,
he says.90This scheme will help us to recruit
volunteers who are younger and from
different ethnic backgrounds, says
Colleen Munroe, who organises visits
for the Prison Service. Prisoners95
should benefit from seeing people to
whom they can relate better than the
average National Association of Prison
Visitorsvolunteer who is generally
white, middle class and retired.100
With four months training and
security clearance procedures to
complete, its not been 21 for these
students, but 32 are fully trained, and
15 are already visiting people in105
prison.
Think you can handle it? A similar
scheme may appear at your university
soon and theres a lot to learn from
doing a bit of time.110

B It may provide a better understanding of how people get involved in crime.

D It will help young people to stay away from crime.

A girl of 13, already unhappy with the
way she looks and anxious to be
popular, wishes she could be 30. The
next morning, she is all grown up,
living in a fabulous Manhattan
apartment with a gorgeous face and
figure (played by Jennifer Garner).She discovers that all of her dreams
have come true.
But Jenna soon realises theres
something missing Matt, her friend,
when she was 13. He is engaged to be
married. Jenna learns that having it
all is not enough and decides to take a
second chance at first love. Now her
biggest wish is that its not too late.
In the end, this is basically your silly,
entertaining, feel-good comedy. It
doesnt try to be anything more than
what it is, and that is a big reason why
it works as well as it does.
Man on Fire
Denzel Washington plays ex-CIA-man
Creasy. Creasys charge is simple:
protect Pita (Dakota Fanning), the
nine-year-old daughter of a Mexican
businessman. Kidnappings are
frequent happenings in Mexico.
Initially, Creasy resists Pitas attempts
to make friends, but her charm
eventually wins him over, and he takes
on a father-figure role. Then, one
fateful day, the kidnapping attempt
occurs. Creasy takes several bullets and
is unable to save Pita. And, while he is
in hospital, the transfer of ransom
money goes wrong. When Creasy
emerges from hospital, he has only one
goal in mind: kill anyone who was
involved in the kidnapping.

A People with red hair getpicked on because they stand
out. Ignore the name-calling.
After all, having ginger hair
doesnt seem to have harmed
the careers or love lives of
Nicole Kidman, Seth Green or Blazin Squads Flava, to name just a few famous
redheads. You will meet girls who fancy you. Some girls adore ginger hair, just
like some girls like dark eyes or chunky guys everybody has their own taste.
Why not visit gingernation.com, a website for redheads. And bear this in mind:
latest research says people with red hair are a dying breed, as racial mixing is
destroying the ginger gene. Soon everybody in the world will have boring brown
hair. Experts predict redheads will be prized as never before.

50 things!
BBCTVpresents a countdown of the top 50 things viewers should do once in their
lifetime, as they are being suggested by around 20,000 members of the public.The show travels to far-flung destinations around the globe from the Arctic Circle to the
deepest, darkest jungles and a few lucky viewers get the chance to fulfil their dreams.
Here are two of the things chosen by the public so far.
Fly in a fighter jet
Once on the base you will undergo a brief
medical check-up to ensure you are fit enough
for your flight. It is generally considered that if
you are fit enough to ride a roller coaster then
you are fit enough to take a jet flight.
You will plan everything with your pilot before
the flight - the type of experience you want to
feel, the amount of actual flying you want to do
and the route. Following the flight brief you will
be fitted for your G-suit before being strapped
into the ejector seat ready for take off.
These flights last approximately 40 minutes,
but most people beg to return to earth within 30 minutes.
Dive with sharksSharks are sleek, muscled, agile and a beautiful
sight in the water.
On diving trips near Darwin Island, one of the
Galapagos Islands, you are guaranteed to scuba
dive with schools of hammerhead sharks numbering
in the hundreds. You do not have to scuba dive to
the usual 40 60 metres to see these amazing
creatures. A rock at 20 metres is the perfect
observation post and you will see hammerhead sharks swimming past you from every angle.
In fact quite often you can see their dorsal fins breaking the surface as they cruise by.Whats more, dolphins will escort you to the dive site. What a dive site it is! Diving here you
can expect huge swells, heavy surge, powerful currents ... and big action! This is not a place
for beginners! But as most experienced scuba divers know... no current means no sharks.
At the right time of year you are almost guaranteed to have an encounter with the biggest
and most elusive fish. whale sharks! The whale sharks here at Darwin Island are BIG...
bigger than a London bus! In fact closer to two buses!! And they also oblige and swim
directly by the 20-metre rock.
Whale sharks are harmless filter feeders. There are very few places on earth where whale
sharks appear regularly. Darwin Island is one of those places

Schrijfopdracht
13p 33 InleidingToen jein tekst 12 (50 Things) de voorbeelden van vervulde wensen las, dacht
je meteen aan je eigen droomwens! Je wilt heel graag de Grand Canyonin
Colorado in de Verenigde Staten zien. Onlangs waren er beelden van op de
televisie: het is een grote, diepe kloof en de kleuren van de rotsen zijn prachtig.Veel toeristen trekken er te voet doorheen, maar het lijkt jou juist geweldig om er
met een helikopter overheen te vliegen: je hebt ten eerste een goed overzicht
over een groot deel van de kloof en ten tweede heb je veel tijd om het landschap
goed te bekijken omdat een helikopter langzaam kan vliegen en ook op n
plaats kan stilstaan.
Jij zou de reis naar de Verenigde Staten en de helikoptervlucht zelf nooit kunnen
betalen. Daarom wil je graag meedoen aan dit programma. Je hoopt dat jouw
idee gekozen zal worden. Je besluit een brief aan de BBC te schrijven.
Het adres is:
BBC, Bush House, Nr the Aldwych, Strand, London WC2B 4PH Great BritainOpdracht
Schrijf de brief (in het Engels!) aan de BBC en gebruik de informatie uit de
inleiding bij het uitwerken van de volgende punten:
Stel jezelf voor: (naam, leeftijd, jongen/meisje en land).
Vermeld naar aanleiding van welk programma van de BBC je schrijft en
dat je hebt begrepen dat je nog steeds een wens in mag sturen.
Schrijf op wat jouw wens is.
Noem de eerste reden waarom een helikoptervlucht boven de Grand Canyon
je bijzonder li jkt en
noem ook de tweede reden.
Vertel waarom je datgene wat je graag wilt, nooit zelf zou kunnen
waarmaken.
Schrijf dat je graag zou willen dat jouw idee wordt uitgekozen.
Schrijf een passende slotzin.
Aanwijzingen
Maak een logische alinea-indeling en sla na elke alinea een regel over.
Denk aan je eigen adres en dat van de BBC, de datum, de aanhef en de
afsluiting. (Om je te helpen staat op de volgende pagina een lijstje met
voorbeelden van adresconventies.)Gebruik minstens 100 en niet veel meer dan 140 woorden: datum, adres en
aanhef tellen niet mee. Noteerhet aantal woorden van de inhoudvan de brief
links boven aan je pagina.

hebt, maar ook of je brief een goedlopend geheel is. Verder wordt beoordeeld of
je alle(9) elementen van de opdracht hebt uitgevoerd. Je mag ook best zelf iets
(zinvols) toevoegen, maar let op het aantal woorden.
