IT’S A SMALL WORLD
Picture this: You’re in a boat, a small one, easily 4,000 miles away from home. You’re being tossed from one wave to another in appalling conditions. Your mast has been damaged in a fierce storm and you haven’t eaten for two days whilst trying to fix your craft and remain afloat. [1_____]  You wait, hoping beyond hope that someone has heard you and can reach you before conditions worsen still further. You’re lucky.
The message gets relayed to a cruise liner that is carrying thousands of passengers on the holiday of a lifetime and just happens to be in your vicinity — поблизости.
[2______] You are very grateful. You are taken on board where you’re given food and medical assistance and start to feel human again. You travel with the liner safely to land. Your small boat has unfortunately had to be abandoned in the ocean but you are safe thanks to the cruise liner.
So far, a straightforward sea rescue. [3______]  It’s certainly not unheard of for large vessels to come to the aid of smaller ones, particularly in the big oceans where you can drift for days without seeing another boat.
[4______] The yachtsman whose boat got into trouble was John Fielder, a thirty-two-year-old man from a tiny village on the south coast of England called Warsash. Last year John was sailing a trimaran called (appropriately) ‘Dangerous When Wet’ from the Caribbean island Antigua to Rhode Island, north of New York, when he got into trouble.
[5_____] She was the latest addition to the fleet of the US based Princess Cruises and it was captained by Captain Clark. Captain Clark and John Fielder had never met before, which is not surprising. What is surprising is that it turned out the two men live round the corner from each other in that tiny village ot Warsash on the south coast! In all probability they buy their newspapers from the same shop but didn’t meet until their paths crossed 4,000 miles away in the middle of the ocean!
An amazing coincidence! If you can beat that write in to ‘What a coincidence!’, People Today Magazines, Bristol. We’re waiting for your story.
A This happens from time to time when small boats run into difficulties in heavy weather.
В But there is a twist to this tale.
С Less than two hours later the enormous boat is alongside you, having altered course to come to your rescue.
D Finally you admit defeat and put out an SOS call.
E He was stunned by the coincidence.
F The cruise liner that came to his assistance was the Crown Princess.

ТAPESCRIPT 1
Good afternoon and welcome. I gather all of you are interested in becoming wildlife photographers, so I’ve brought along some of the pictures I took on two of my most interesting assignments. The first was to South Africa, where i went last year. It’s probably one of the: best places in the world to be if you’re a wildlife photographer! And the second was on my most recent trip to the  Amazon, where the wildlife is also amazing. I’ll let you see these later, hut first of all I’d like to tell you what being a wildlife photographer entails. Every day. I get emails from people asking me what they have to do to become a professional wildlife photographer. Some of these emails come from schoolchildren doing projects about a future carccr they would be interested in taking up. But most of these requests come from school leavers seriously thinking about a career as a wildlife photographer.
Usually my first reaction is ‘I don’t know!’ But of course this doesn’t help. It does however indicate that there is no easy answer to this question. It is actually incredibly difficult to bccomc more than a part-time freelancer. There are so many amateurs flooding the market with really good quality pictures that it’s very hard to make a living from it. Most of the famous professionals in wildlife photography never had any formal training. Arthur Morris, probably the best known bird photographer, had been a teacher for years before going full-time into photography. I’ve only once met anyone with any kind of formal training. He attended a university in England where he did a degree in what’s called Biology Imaging, which also includes photography, filming and drawing. And he still ended up working as a safari guide! The best way to get yourself into the profession is to do it alongside a job that brings you as dose as possible to your subjects. This could be as a conservationist or travel guide. Then while photographing, you can slowly start selling pictures while your experience and expertise grows. After a few years, you might decide that you can give up the other job. One thing many people overlook is that, once you are a professional, it’s no longer about takine great pictures because you love it. It’s about earning enough money to compensate for all the expenses such as equipment, films, processing, travel, etc. This puts quite a few people off. But you have to1 remember that you will not only be marketing your pictures, but. in a way, also yourself. So if you’re wondering what subject would be best to take at university, forget about creative subjects and take Business. You’ll certainly find it useful. Now, if you’d like to take a look at these pictures…
TAPESCRIPT 2
Interviewer: Media hype or genuine hit? Boring waste of time or fascinating look at human reactions? Well, you might have guessed that I’m talking about reality TV. Whether it’s Big Brother, Survivor, Bar Wars or I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Our screens seem to be full of TV programmes where people live together, work together, play together and then kick each other off the programme. And we watch it all in our millions. With me to discuss this ara Tony Christian, member of the media watchdog group Airwave and Jenny Doyle, winner of last year’s Big Brother. Jenny, how’s life been since you left the house?
Jenny: Well, it’s been a lot of fun. Lots of interviews on radio and TV and people recognise me wherever I go. It hasn’t completely changed my life, though. No offers to present TV programmes, but then that’s not why I went on in the first place.
Interviewer: So why did you?
Jenny: I’d seen earlier series and thought. ‘She’s in it for the money.’ or ‘He wants to be a star/ and I thought the programme could be so much more thari that. I thought it could show what the young people of Britain are really like right now and so I went on just to be myself, really.
Interviewer: Tony, it all sounds quite harmless, doesn’t it? Just a bunch of young people getting to know each other?
Tony: Well, yes, on one level it is. You know, these reactions weren’t invented when reality TV was developed. When young people go away to camp or to university, they often develop relationships just like we see on TV, very intense friendships. The difference is that in real life we don’t decide who we want to get rid of and then vote on it. It’s that antisocial aspect that worries me and many other members of Airwave and similar organisations.
Interviewer: Jenny, what do you think about that? How did you find the whole process of having to nominate your housemates?
Jenny: Well, it wasn’t easy because you become very emotionally attached to the other people, but we all knew that at the end of the day it was a game. You know, and this is where I disagree with Tony, it’s not supposed to be real life. It’s supposed to be a TV programme, and I’m sure everyone watching is aware of that.
Tony: That’s true to a certain extent when you’re talking about adult viewers. Another thing that concerns me,though, is very young viewers. There have been reports of children as young as seven or eight years old playing Big Brother in the playground and using the game to bully other children, by nominating them, talking about them and then voting them out. That can be a very hurtful experience at that age.
Jenny: Yes, and that’s not something I would defend. However, I think that children can learn a huge amount about getting on with people from watching this programme where complete strangers are thrown together. Doesn’t it teach them a lot about making friends, about showing tolerance and about giving other people their own space?
Interviewer: Finally, Tony, can I ask you what your organisation proposes?
Tony: Airwave has written to the controllers of all major channels asking them to look at this kind of television very closely. Rather than a complete ban, what we would like to see is tighter controls over times of broadcast. We’d like to see these programmes going out later at night, when we can reasonably expect very young viewers to be in bed.
Interviewer: Tony Christian, Jenny Doyle, thank you very much for joining me today.
TOTAL SCORE: 40 points
