o look at the questions.
Helena:
Hello. Thank
you for inviting me here
to talk to
you
today. I
ve wanted to work with
animals ever since
I was our
or five yearsold. What really nterested
me
wasnot looking
after catsor dogs ike other
children,
but lying in
the long grasswatching nsects.
That nterest
in nature
stayedwith me
throughout my childhood
and
when fairly
young, decided o
becomea zoo keeper.
In
order to achievemy
aim
I had
to work hard to get
into university.
I did biology, though for my
job
you
can
do a variety
of different degreesas ong as hey have
someconnection
with animals things ike zoology
obviously, and psychology
and animal scienceare
fine too.
When you're
appointedasa

work with
just

There are
somedownsides
o
being a
zoo keeper.We
sometimes
ave o work
quite ong hours,sometimes

n the
hospital
when an animal's
ick,
but
I dont
really mind that
as t's
part of the
ob.
What
does
get me,
however,s the
rain. It's
quite hard to
make
yourself
go outside
when
t's wet. Even
he animalsdont
like
it
My typical
day usually

is getting

else

or that.
Then, n the afternoon,
I
write
up
health reportsor assist
with any
medical
procedures.On Saturdays
nd
Wednesdays
also do
talks,
but that's
only
in the summer
when we
havea ot
of
visitors.
In the winter
it's obviously
much
quieter
and
I
can
get
more nvolved
n research
rojects.
The animals
look after
can be dangerous
o
you need
to take
care when
you're
around
them. Early on
in my
career,
monkey bit
my finger but
I only needed
a few
stitches.
Someone
lse worked
with had
his arm bitten
by a tigea
so ve been
ucky
That sort of thing
doesnt
happenvery often
hough,
'm
pleased
o say
I
dont
have o carry
a stick or
anything o
protect
myself,
but what
you do have o
have with you
is
a
radio and
f we
get
on
that, someone'll
ome
unning
immediately.
t's always
good to
know that there are
other
people
around
o
giveyou a hand fthings
get
difficult with
an animal.
The visitors are
usually
great,especiallyhe children.
The
people
who
do irritate
me though are
sometimes
the teachers
who bring
their
class o the
zoo.They
often
dont spend
enough ime talking
to their
pupils,
explaining
about
eachanimal.
think they see
t asa
day out
really. It's a
pity as t's a
missed opportunity
I always
hink.
As to
the future,
you do get attached
o the animals
youre
looking after,
so t would
be hard
for me to
leave hem at the
moment.
Howeve there
are a couple
of things
I might do
in the future.
've beenoffered
the chance
o go to China
next
spring o see
how my
animalsbehave
n
the
wild.
There's lsoa
possibilityof
going o the
USA to work
on a breeding
project,
but
that's
not
going o happen
or a
few years et.

n fact, he had
to
leave
school
at the ageof 14because
is family
couldnt
afford
to
pay he $80 uition fees.
His family were armersand hey wanted
William to
become
one oo but William
had
ambitions
o
be a
mechanic.This looked doubtful becausehe family had
no money and so William
had to help out in the fields.
He still
had
some
ree ime though so he would spend
it in the local
ibrary. Therehe found two textbooks
-
Explaining Physics nd UsingEnergy and from
them, William
found out all abouthow you could get
electricity rom windmills.
William'svillagewas
very poor
but
it did have
a
lot
of
wind.
He
could see hat electricitywould solvea
number
of
problems or his family and,bestof all,
he
would be
able o
have
a
light in his room so he could readat night.
William could see hat having a windmill to make
electricity would mean reedom or himself and his family.
The electricitywould be able o
quickly pump
water o
his family's ieldsof
maize,
which would allow hem to
grow more food.
He decided o build a
windmill near his house.His
father was oo busy so
he
asked
his
cousin o
help him
and hey spentsome
ime trying to find
the
necessary
parts.
Luckily, hey
managed
o
get hold
of a bic)'cle
someone ad thrown awayand which they used o form
the basisof the windmill. They mainly used he chain
and he dynamo.For the windmill blades hey usedan
old
plaslle pipe
which they cut
in
two and
heated
over
hot coals o make lat. This all took a ong time but the
resultwasworth it.
The windmill was a
great
success nd currently the
village has hree ofthem and the villagerscan all go to
watch TV aswell as enjoy all the other benefitselectricity
hasbrought. William is now older and s keen o build
windmills across he whole of his country. William's

ut in

Anna:
I wouldnt

I dont
agree
with the
argument
that

s bad
for
you
-
some
people
claim
that
it leads o
weight
gain,
but
doesnt
reading
a book
also
nvolve
sitting
still?
For
those
people who
dislike

hen,

Anna:
I
think
it's good
news
or
them,
and
for their
agents,
who
still
havea
role to
play n
relatiori
o
the
media.
And
ebooks
provide
undiscovered
riters
with
the
chance
o
deliver
their
work
to the
public,
rather
than
waiting
for a willing
publisher.
As with
many
electronic

here
are
of course

Dan:
OK,
for
my
presentation
n crime,
want
to
talk
about
Sir
Arthur
Conan
Doyle
and
his character
he
detective
Sherlock
Holmes,
who
I really
ike
reading
about.ConanDoylewasborn in 1859 n Edinburgh,
Scotland,
nd
was
greatly
nfluenced
by
his
mother's
ove
of storytelling.
However,
ather
than
studying
iterature,
from
1876
o
1881
he did
medicine
at the
University
of
Edinburgh.
Although
Conan
Doyle
began
writing
short
stories
during
his
time
at university,
t wasnt
until
he
had
graduated
nd
set
up
a
medical
practice
n
London
that
he began
o
write
seriously.
his
was
because
e
wasrlt
a
particularly
successful
octor
and
had very
few
patients.
His
main
inspiration
or the
character
f
Sherlock
Holmes
was
a
plgfessQr
who
had
taught
him at
Edinburgh.
Another
inspiration
or
his writing
was
a
visit Conan
Doyle
had
made
at
the
age
of 15
o a
wax
museum
n
London.
There
were
wax
models
of
well-known
actors
and
singers
here,
but
it was
he
models
of
famous
murderers
hat
had the
greatest
mpact
on
him.
The
character
Sherlock
Holmes
irst
appeared
n
1887'
not
in
a novel
but
asa
short
story
called
A Study
n Scarlet
n
a
magazine.
Holmes
was
a
private
detective
who
ran an
agency
rom
his
aparfinent
at22lB
Baker Street
n
London
and shared
most
of
his work
with
his
friend
Dr
Watson'
From the
books
Conan
Doyle
wrote,
I've
earnt
that
Holmeshad anexpertknowledgeof chemistry,but wasnt
quite so
good
at
biologY.
Sherlock
Holmes
was
one
of
the
first
detectives
n
fiction
to
make
use
of
forensic
medicine.
He
was
particularly
good at
dentifying
footprints
at
a crime
scene'
These
techniques
were
airly
new
when
Conan
Doyle
was
writing,
but
they
later
formed
a key
part of
actual
detective
work.
I always
knew
Holmes
used
a
magnifring
glass
or
finding
small
piecesof
evidence
such
as
hair or
ash,
but
what
amazedme
was hat
he also
used
a microscope'
What
he
didnt
use
was
photography,
which
was
commonly
