ROCK-CLIMBING FOR CHARITY

Daniel Brown is 17 years old and is spending a lot of time alone.
Daniel loves rock-climbing, and is planning to climb a 300-meter 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 practicing the climb with older experts.
Then in June he intends to do the climbing 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.

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 with 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 to go 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 a student 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 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.

While I was watching I realized that I didn’t want to be a ballet dancer at all. I wanted to become a TV journalist. My mother was delighted.
