A.         Do you wear a uniform to
school? Would you like to wear one? These are questions for debate and discussion.
Like in lots of things there are two sides in this problem. Some people say
that all schools should have uniforms. Others are sure that school uniforms are
not comfortable and old-fashioned. Well, both arguments have experts on their
side. There is no clear answer. And what is your opinion?

B.         Christ’s Hospital is one of the
oldest schools in Britain. They have an unusual uniform which dates back to the
time when the school was founded. And that was in 1552! Boys and girls wear a
long blue coat, knee trousers, and yellow socks. And today students don’t
change their habits. They still wear the same uniform.  There were some talks
about making the uniform more modern. But it was decided to continue wearing
the old uniform.

C.         Many   school   teachers  
and   parents   believe   that uniforms   create   a   better   learning  
environment  at school. Children stop paying much attention to bright clothes
and fashion labels, which distract their attention. Instead they spend more
time on studying and learn to concentrate better on classes. As a result their
attention improves and they get higher marks. Different studies in the UK prove
that.

D.         Harrow is a prestigious boys’
school in northern London with a strict uniform tradition. You can easily
recognize a Harrow student by the hat, which is part of the uniform. All boys
have to wear their hats every day when they go to classes or return from them.
Some students are allowed to wear a different scarf, tie or jumper.  But the
hat should always be there. Students must wear it no matter what happens.

E.         Many parents complain that
their children spend a lot of time  planning and  choosing what clothes to wear
to school every day. Instead they could sleep an extra hour. However, if
children wear uniforms at schools, they don’t worry about what to wear every
day. And they may have an extra hour or half an hour every morning. Sounds
nice, doesn’t it?

F.          Eton  College  is  one  of
the  best and  most  prestigious schools in  Britain. The uniform is very
strict: black jacket and a waistcoat, a white collar and dark trousers. Only a
small group of students can slightly change their uniform. They are members of
an important school club called the Pop. They can wear any waistcoat they
please. Prince William, when he was at Eton, wore a waistcoat designed like a
British national flag.

G.          School uniforms are not always
cheap for parents, especially if there are two or more children in a family and
they are all students. Parents can’t buy any clothes they want. They can’t shop
at sales, either. What is more, many schools have several uniforms such as
everyday uniforms, formal uniforms for special events and another uniform for
P.E. classes. And children grow fast. So parents have to spend more money every
year.

Presenter: Thank you for joining us. Tonight on the show we have Ian Marshall, one of our local lifeguards, here to tell us a little bit about his job. Ian, thanks for coming. I’m sure that most of us have a very good idea about what a lifeguard does, but can you give us a few more details?

Ведущий: Спасибо, что присоединились к нам. Сегодня вечером на шоу у нас в гостях Ян Маршалл, один из наших местных спасателей, который расскажет нам немного о своей работе. Йен, спасибо, что пришёл. Я уверен, что у большинства из нас есть очень хорошее представление о том, что делает спасатель, но не могли бы вы рассказать нам ещё немного подробностей?

Ian: Sure. Well, of course, as a lifeguard, I make sure that people are safe in and around the water. I patrol the beach, but other lifeguards are on duty at lakes and swimming pools. A lifeguard is a necessity on a busy beach because even strong swimmers can get into trouble.

Ян: Конечно. Ну, конечно, как спасатель, я забочусь о том, чтобы люди были в безопасности в воде и вокруг неё. Я патрулирую пляж, но другие спасатели дежурят у озёр и бассейнов. Спасатель — это необходимость на оживлённом пляже, потому что даже сильные пловцы могут попасть в беду.

Presenter: OK, so how did you become a lifeguard, Ian?
Ведущий: Хорошо, так как же ты стал спасателем, Ян?

Ian: Well, actually, it was quite difficult. I had to take some courses including advanced first aid and beach management and then I had to complete various different fitness and skills tests. Even now, I take different courses to improve my skills. This year I’m hoping to take a course in powerboat driving.

Ян: Ну, на самом деле, это было довольно сложно. Мне пришлось пройти несколько курсов, включая продвинутую первую помощь и управление пляжем, а затем я должен был пройти различные тесты на пригодность и навыки. Даже сейчас я посещаю различные курсы, чтобы улучшить свои навыки. В этом году я надеюсь пройти курс вождения моторной лодки.

Presenter: And what’s a typical day like for you?
Ведущий: А какой у вас типичный день?

Ian: Well, between October and March, I’m on patrol from 6 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. That’s OK with me – I actually really like early mornings! Daily duties include rescuing when necessary, of course, checking all the equipment and keeping swimmers aware of any dangers. Our main duty though is to observe the beach and the swimming area to make sure everyone is obeying the beach rules in order to prevent accidents and emergencies. There’s a lot of paperwork to do, too. This is probably my least favourite part of the job, but it’s very important.

Ян: Ну, с октября по март я нахожусь в патруле с 6 утра до 3 часов дня. Со мной всё в порядке — я действительно очень люблю раннее утро! Ежедневные обязанности включают, конечно, спасение при необходимости, проверку всего снаряжения и информирование пловцов о любых опасностях. Однако наша главная обязанность — следить за пляжем и зоной для купания, чтобы убедиться, что все соблюдают правила пляжа, чтобы предотвратить несчастные случаи и чрезвычайные ситуации. Кроме того, нужно сделать много бумажной работы. Это, вероятно, моя наименее любимая часть работы, но она очень важна.

Presenter: You mentioned equipment. What kind of equipment do you use?

Ведущий: Вы упомянули оборудование. Какое оборудование вы используете?

Ian: Well, we have a boat for accidents out at sea, but we also use horns, loudspeakers and even the simple whistle to get people’s attention. In fact, the whistle is probably the most important piece of equipment I use because I have it with me all the time and it’s very effective at getting people’s attention. There’s also a radio to get in touch with other lifeguards and the emergency services. It’s not very high-tech, I know, although I recently heard about some research that scientists are doing. They want to electronically tag sharks, so when they get near the shore, we get an SMS warning on our mobile phones.

Ян: Ну, у нас есть лодка для несчастных случаев в море, но мы также используем рожки, громкоговорители и даже простой свисток, чтобы привлечь внимание людей. На самом деле, свисток, вероятно, самый важный элемент оборудования, которым я пользуюсь, потому что он всегда со мной, и он очень эффективен для привлечения внимания людей. Есть также радио, чтобы связаться с другими спасателями и аварийными службами. Я знаю, что это не очень высокотехнологично, хотя недавно я слышал о некоторых исследованиях, которые проводят учёные. Они хотят пометить акул электронным способом, поэтому, когда они приближаются к берегу, мы получаем SMS-предупреждение на наши мобильные телефоны.

Presenter: Really? While we’re on the subject of sharks, just how dangerous are they to swimmers off the coast of Australia?

Ведущий: Правда? Раз уж мы заговорили об акулах, насколько они опасны для пловцов у берегов Австралии?

Ian: Well, in the past 10 years, sharks have killed about 10 people and attacked about ten others in Western Australia, but we shouldn’t just focus on sharks. There are many other dangers such as the box jellyfish, which is one of the most poisonous creatures in the sea, especially as it’s almost invisible to swimmers. Actually, another important part of our training is looking out for dangerous creatures and giving first aid treatment if someone gets, for instance, a jellyfish sting. The first thing we do with a sting is to pour vinegar on it! We also try to educate swimmers about the risks. A little knowledge can save a lot of lives.

Ян: Ну, за последние 10 лет акулы убили около 10 человек и напали ещё на десять человек в Западной Австралии, но мы не должны сосредотачиваться только на акулах. Есть много других опасностей, таких как коробчатая медуза, которая является одним из самых ядовитых существ в море, особенно потому, что она почти невидима для пловцов. На самом деле, ещё одна важная часть нашего обучения — это наблюдение за опасными существами и оказание первой медицинской помощи, если кто-то получит, например, укус медузы. Первое, что мы делаем с жалом, — это наливаем на него уксус! Мы также стараемся информировать пловцов о рисках. Немного знаний может спасти много жизней.

Presenter: Interesting, Ian. Well, it’s been fantastic having you on the show. Tune in next week, listeners, when we have a real-life storm chaser in the studio. Until then, good night and have a great week.

Ведущий: Интересно, Ян. Что ж, было здорово, что ты участвуешь в шоу. Настройтесь на следующую неделю, слушатели, когда у нас в студии будет настоящий штормовой охотник. А пока спокойной ночи и удачной недели.

1) Chilling Out — Охлаждение

The freezing cold has no effect on Wim Hof. Also known as the «Iceman», Wim Hof climbed Mount Everest wearing only a pair of shorts in temperatures that can kill an ordinary person. He holds an incredible nine world records and often appears in various countries up to his neck in ice. Scientists can’t explain Hof’s superhuman ability to put up with below-zero temperatures, but believe it may be due to his skill at meditation. When most people face extreme cold, the blood in their bodies moves away from theirfingers and toes to protect their inner organs. After years of meditating, Wim has complete control over his blood flow and can keep it moving to all parts of his body, no matter how cold it gets.

Леденящий холод никак не влияет на Вима Хофа. Также известный как «Ледяной человек», Вим Хоф поднялся на Эверест в одних шортах при температуре, которая может убить обычного человека. Он владеет невероятными девятью мировыми рекордами и часто появляется в разных странах по шею во льду. Учёные не могут объяснить сверхчеловеческую способность Хофа мириться с минусовыми температурами, но полагают, что это может быть связано с его умением медитировать. Когда большинство людей сталкиваются с экстремальным холодом, кровь в их телах отливает от пальцев рук и ног, чтобы защитить их внутренние органы. После многих лет медитации Вим полностью контролирует свой кровоток и может поддерживать его во всех частях тела, независимо от того, насколько холодно.

2) Making Dangerous Friends — Заводить Опасных Друзей

South African animalbehaviourist Kevin Richardson first made friends with some lion cubs 12 years ago at a lion park, and now he is playing with, cudding and even falling asleep next to lions! He says he can do this because he tries to know each animal’s personality and develop understanding with them. Now Richardson, known as ‘The lion whisperer’, cares for 39 lions on his 1,800-acre wildlife reserve. Kevin uses his fame to raise awareness about lions under threat in the wild. «Numbers have dropped by up to 75% in the past decade,» he says. Kevin also made a film using members of his adopted family called White Lion: Home is a Journey.

Южноафриканский анималист Кевин Ричардсон впервые подружился с несколькими львятами 12 лет назад в львином парке, и теперь он играет, обнимается и даже засыпает рядом со львами! Он говорит, что может сделать это, потому что он пытается узнать личность каждого животного и развить понимание с ними. Теперь Ричардсон, известный как «Шепчущий льву», заботится о 39 львах в своём заповеднике дикой природы площадью 1800 акров. Кевин использует свою славу, чтобы повысить осведомлённость о львах, находящихся под угрозой в дикой природе. «За последнее десятилетие их число сократилось до 75%», — говорит он. Кевин также снял фильм с участием членов своей приёмной семьи под названием «Белый лев: дом — это путешествие».

3) Finding it Easy — Найти его легко

32-year-old Daniel Tammet can solve the most difficult math problems in the time it takes most of us to remember where we put our calculator! He has an incredible mental ability to count and calculate. He doesn’t see numbers in his head, though, he sees shapes. «When I multiply, I see two shapes. The image starts to change and a third shape appears. That’s the answer.» Daniel is an autistic savant^∗ who has broken records with his unbelievable memory. Daniel can also speak 10 languages and learned Icelandic in just one week! In 2007, he also wrote his autobiography, Born on a Blue Day.

32-летний Даниэль Таммет может решить самые сложные математические задачи за то время, которое большинству из нас требуется, чтобы вспомнить, куда мы положили наш калькулятор! Он обладает невероятной умственной способностью считать и вычислять. Однако он не видит чисел в своей голове, он видит формы. «Когда я умножаю, я вижу две фигуры. Изображение начинает меняться, и появляется третья фигура. Вот и ответ.» Дэниел — учёный-аутист, который побил рекорды своей невероятной памятью. Даниэль также может говорить на 10 языках и выучил исландский всего за одну неделю! В 2007 году он также написал свою автобиографию «Рождённый в голубой день».

autistic savant^∗ — somebody with a mental condition that prevents them from communicaring well, but has a highly-developed talent in another area e.g., painting, calculating.

аутичный учёный* — человек с психическим заболеванием, которое мешает ему хорошо общаться, но обладает высокоразвитым талантом в другой области, например, в живописи, вычислениях.
