INTERWIEVER: Tom, first of all, obviously you like blogging. But why? Why is it so popular in your opinion?

TOM: I really like the contact I have with other people, and I love writing.

INTERWIEVER: So how do you know other people read you?

TOM: Easy! Two things. First, the comments. On a blog, people can leave a comment about your writing. I like the comments, they give me an idea of what is good and what isn't. Second - a counter!

INTERWIEVER: So what's your blog like?

TOM: There are stories, poetry and articles about current affairs.

INTERWIEVER: And do you like reading other blogs?

TOM: Of course! That's part of the fun.

INTERWIEVER: Any plans to develop or change your blog?

TOM: I'd like to improve the graphics, but that's complicated. I'm not a software programmer! I like taking photos so I could put more interesting photos on my blog. But that all takes time.

Dear Diana,

How are you? I am writing from London, where I stay for a month in a language school.

I go to English class every day from 9 to 12, and then I study in the afternoon for 3 more hours. There are 20 students from all over the world in the class, and I am making new friends every day. I am also taking drama classes in the evening and it's very exciting.

The city is great. I am having a wonderful time with some Spanish friends, Ramon and Julia. They are attending the same school, but only 3 days a week.

Are you enjoying your holidays in France?

Lots of love,

Maria.

Page 83 exercise 4

Daniel Brown is 17 years old and is spending a lot of time alone.

Daniel loves rock-climbing, and he is planning to climb a 300-metre high rock face near his home for charity.

He's preparing to do the climb by getting fit. Every day he likes doing a five-mile run and then an hour of stretching. This is very important for his strength and for the unusual movements he does when climbing. He likes swimming too, and enjoys going to the local pool at the weekends.

Daniel hopes to spend the winter months getting fit, and then a month in spring practising the climb with older experts. The in June he intends to do the climb in front of spectators.

He wants to do a sponsored climb and make money for charity.

Daniel's chosen charity is the British Heart Foundation. Daniel feels it is important for healthy people to do everything possible to help the sick.


Page 83 exercise 5

INTERVIEWER: Dr Harper, are you worried about the popularity of video games with teenagers

today?

DR HARPER: A little, yes. If people play video games for just a couple of hours a week, there's no

problem. But when they need to play them every day for hours, this is an addiction.

It's one thing to like playing them, another to need to play them.

INTERVIEWER: So what are the signs of an addiction?

DR HARPER: If a person stops going out with friends, this is an important sign. Look for a

person who wants to spend a lot of time alone and who likes staying at

home all day. Another problem is when a person can't concentrate. Look for

students who stop listening in class, who start getting physically agitated

and restless quickly. Obviously their homework and grades generally suffer too.

INTERVIEWER: What other signs are there?

DR HARPER: People tend to eat badly. They try to get away from the table quickly. They

don't pay attention when you speak to them and have difficult to make conversation.

INTERVIEWER: What do you advise family and friends to do if they suspect an addiction?

DR HARPER: I suggest to talking to the person about it, and trying to make them see the

problem. If this doesn't work, I advise the family to make an appointment with an expert who can evaluate the situation.
