Better weather forecast on its way!

EATHER is Britain’s favourite topic of conversation.
I n a country where we can get four seasons in one day, weather-
forecasting assumes a far greater importance than it does in places with
more stable climates.
Current predictions are only
reliable for a few days ahead, but now,
we’re told we can look forward to
accurate forecasts up to 60 days ahead!
NASA
It’s all thanks to a new study of the
stratosphere — the atmospheric layer
which sits between six and 30 miles
above us.
The study, partly funded by NASA,
says shifting wind patterns in the
stratosphere could help forecasters
predict weather here on earth, two
months ahead.
Changes all that way above us
usually take a week or more to work
their way down to where they begin to

New forecasting techniques should make
more time to study the patterns.
Michael Fish’s job a bit easier.
“The study points weather
forecasters towards a new source of
information that hasn’t been used
before in weather prediction,” said Dr
Mark Baldwin, of North-West Research
Associates in Bellevue, Washington.
“And now, we can see it coming.”

Welke boodschap heeft Kieron Connolly voor de lezer? IT HA P P EN E D T O ME The night I became a crime statistic Crime has soared in the past year, it was reported last week. I must be part of those statistics because I was punched in the face on my doorstep by a man who was trying to wheedle some money By this time I was at my doorstep and refusing to get my money out. So he punched me, bloodying my nose and cutting my lip. I shouted for help, but he ran off. There have been so many stories about the police not doing anything in such circumstances that my first thought was not to report it. I’m now glad I did. Because of the man’s use of the term ‘constitutional racism’, the police had an idea who he was. But though they arranged two identity parades, I couldn’t pick him out. I understand, however, that the man they suspect is now in prison for another offence. I feel the police did what they could. And they can only tackle crime if we report offences to them.

But when he pulls back into his

the next day, the guy drives
the cat 40 blocks away. Same

increasing the number of
blocks, but the cat keeps
beating him home.
Finally, the guy drives the

The next morning, she is all grown up, living in a fabulous Manhattan apartment with a gorgeous face and figure (played by Jennifer Garner). She discovers that all of her dreams have come true. But Jenna soon realises there’s something missing – Matt, her friend, when she was 13. He is engaged to be married. Jenna learns that ‘having it all’ is not enough and decides to take a second chance at first love. Now her biggest wish is that it’s not too late.

Kidnappings are frequent happenings in Mexico. Initially, Creasy resists Pita’s attempts to make friends, but her charm eventually wins him over, and he takes on a father-figure role. Then, one fateful day, the kidnapping attempt occurs. Creasy takes several bullets and is unable to save Pita. And, while he is in hospital, the transfer of ransom money goes wrong. When Creasy emerges from hospital, he has only one goal in mind: kill anyone who was involved in the kidnapping. (strong violence)

picked on because they stand
out. Ignore the name-calling.
After all, having ginger hair
doesn’t seem to have harmed
the careers or love lives of
Nicole Kidman, Seth Green or Blazin’ Squad’s Flava, to name just a few famous
redheads. You will meet girls who fancy you. Some girls adore ginger hair, just
like some girls like dark eyes or chunky guys – everybody has their own taste.
Why not visit gingernation.com, a website for redheads. And bear this in mind:
latest research says people with red hair are a dying breed, as racial mixing is
destroying the ginger gene. Soon everybody in the world will have boring brown
hair. Experts predict redheads will be prized as never before.

50 things! BBC TV presents a countdown of the top 50 things viewers should do once in their lifetime, as they are being suggested by around 20,000 members of the public. The show travels to far-flung destinations around the globe – from the Arctic Circle to the deepest, darkest jungles and a few lucky viewers get the chance to fulfil their dreams. Here are two of the things chosen by the public so far. Fly in a fighter jet Once on the base you will undergo a brief medical check-up to ensure you are fit enough for your flight. It is generally considered that if you are fit enough to ride a roller coaster then you are fit enough to take a jet flight. You will plan everything with your pilot before the flight - the type of experience you want to feel, the amount of actual flying you want to do and the route. Following the flight brief you will be fitted for your G-suit before being strapped into the ejector seat ready for take off. These flights last approximately 40 minutes, but most people beg to return to earth within 30 minutes. Dive with sharks Sharks are sleek, muscled, agile and a beautiful sight in the water. On diving trips near Darwin Island, one of the Galapagos Islands, you are guaranteed to scuba of hammerhead sharks numbering You do not have to scuba dive to metres to see these amazing at 20 metres is the perfect observation post and you will see hammerhead sharks swimming past you from every angle. In fact quite often you can see their dorsal fins breaking the surface as they cruise by. What’s more, dolphins will escort you to the dive site. What a dive site it is! Diving here you can expect huge swells, heavy surge, powerful currents ... and big action! This is not a place for beginners! But as most experienced scuba divers know... no current means no sharks. At the right time of year you are almost guaranteed to have an encounter with the biggest and most elusive fish…. whale sharks! The whale sharks here at Darwin Island are BIG... bigger than a London bus! In fact closer to two buses!! And they also oblige and swim directly by the 20-metre rock. Whale sharks are harmless filter feeders. There are very few places on earth where whale sharks appear regularly. Darwin Island is one of those places…

Inleiding Toen je in tekst 12 (‘50 Things’) de voorbeelden van vervulde wensen las, dacht je meteen aan je eigen droomwens! Je wilt heel graag de Grand Canyon in Colorado in de Verenigde Staten zien. Onlangs waren er beelden van op de televisie: het is een grote, diepe kloof en de kleuren van de rotsen zijn prachtig. Veel toeristen trekken er te voet doorheen, maar het lijkt jou juist geweldig om er met een helikopter overheen te vliegen: je hebt ten eerste een goed overzicht over een groot deel van de kloof en ten tweede heb je veel tijd om het landschap goed te bekijken omdat een helikopter langzaam kan vliegen en ook op één plaats kan ‘stilstaan’. Jij zou de reis naar de Verenigde Staten en de helikoptervlucht zelf nooit kunnen betalen. Daarom wil je graag meedoen aan dit programma. Je hoopt dat jouw idee gekozen zal worden. Je besluit een brief aan de BBC te schrijven. Het adres is: BBC, Bush House, Nr the Aldwych, Strand, London WC2B 4PH Great Britain Opdracht Schrijf de brief (in het Engels!) aan de BBC en gebruik de informatie uit de inleiding bij het uitwerken van de volgende punten: − Stel jezelf voor: (naam, leeftijd, jongen/meisje en land). − Vermeld naar aanleiding van welk programma van de BBC je schrijft en − dat je hebt begrepen dat je nog steeds een wens in mag sturen. − Schrijf op wat jouw wens is. − Noem de eerste reden waarom een helikoptervlucht boven de Grand Canyon je bijzonder lijkt en − noem ook de tweede reden. − Vertel waarom je datgene wat je graag wilt, nooit zelf zou kunnen waarmaken. − Schrijf dat je graag zou willen dat jouw idee wordt uitgekozen. − Schrijf een passende slotzin. Aanwijzingen Maak een logische alinea-indeling en sla na elke alinea een regel over. Denk aan je eigen adres en dat van de BBC , de datum, de aanhef en de afsluiting. ( Om je te helpen staat op de volgende pagina een lijstje met voorbeelden van adresconventies.) Gebruik minstens 100 en niet veel meer dan 140 woorden: datum, adres en aanhef tellen niet mee. Noteer het aantal woorden van de inhoud van de brief links boven aan je pagina. Beoordeling Bij de beoordeling wordt er niet alleen op gelet of je correct Engels gebruikt hebt, maar ook of je brief een goedlopend geheel is. Verder wordt beoordeeld of je alle (9) elementen van de opdracht hebt uitgevoerd. Je mag ook best zelf iets (zinvols) toevoegen, maar let op het aantal woorden. SUCCES!
