Speaker A

I only study for half an hour at a time. I often have a break so I don't get tired. Sometimes I lie down; sometimes I sit in an armchair or sit at a table. I stop for ten minutes to relax my brain. The best time for me to study is between noonand 11 p.m. Learning at this time is more exciting and useful. The day before an exam I stop learning at 5 p.m. Then I watch TV and try not to think about the exam. I go to bed early and have at least nine hours' sleep. It's enough to feed my brain.

Speaker В

I don't study regularly and leave a lot to study at the end of the term. I usually

lie on my bed or walk up and down my room. After reading an article, I

repeat it aloud; it helps me to keep information in my memory. I must be alone

and I prefer listening to the radio because I need to hear some noise in the

background. I can't study for more than two hours.

Speaker С

I don't usually study much during the school year. I'm rather lazy student and

I study hard only about one week before the exams. I wake up at about 9 a.m.,

have breakfast, have a shower and start studying. I usually sit on a sofa and

read my materials. The best way to study is with someone you know, for example,

with a classmate. We can test each other and explain something what

one of us knows better.

Speaker D

When I study for an exam, I need to be alone in my room. I often listen to

music when I study but the music is quiet — it's just in the background. I

read the text again and again and after a few minutes I tell myself what I can

remember. I can memorise for a maximum of two hours then I should have a

break and snake something. I eat a lot before exams because I'm nervous. I

can't overcome my habit.

Speaker E

When I know the dates of my exams, I make a study timetable and put it up on

my wall at home. It helps me to concentrate and organize myself.Then started:

this is the most difficult part. I use all my time. If I arrive home from school half

before dinner, I use that time for study. In a week I'll do two and half hours

then I can have an evening free for relaxation.

Speaker F

It doesn't matter how you study before, the most important for me is the day of

my exam. I look through all my exam papers and try to answer the questions.

I don't try to learn anything new the night before an exam. I make sure that I

have everything I need for the exams: pens, pencils and etc. On the exam day

I have a good breakfast and walk to school. I concentrate and stay calm, only

this way I can show what I know

Now we are ready to start.

A new survey shows that two-thirds of British people are 'reasonably

happy' with their lives at the same time, an astonishing number of people

would father live in another country.

Thirty per cent would emigrate if they were free and had the chance to settle

somewhere else in the world. In more adventurous about 20 age group more

than 50 percent would like to emigrate. The majority say they would prefer to

go somewhere warmer than Britain. Among younger people the most popular

destination would be continental Europe, particularly Spain and France.

Outside Europe, other destinations would be Australia, the USA and Canada.

Most British people over 40 would rather stay where they are. In the older

group nobody showed any interest in leaving the country. However, this age

group also thinks that foreign holidays are 'essential'. Most of them said that

three weeks in another country was 'as much as I can take'. The majotiry of

British people want to spend their holidays in the sun ... and on a beach where

they can sunbathe, swim and play beach games. The minority prefer to stay in

Britain for their holidays — although the weather is not always reliable. They

would rather not have to bother with foreign currencies, frights, passports and

different food. Britain has a long coastline so there are lots of places to go for

seaside holidays and some people save money by doing self-catering, renting

a holiday home or camping.

DJ: Hello. A lot of you have probably just got you're a-levels and you're

looking forward to going to university. But more and more young people are

deciding to take a year out before they start their degrees. Today I'm talking to

a group of young people who've all decided to spend a year at the university of

life. What are they going to do? What are your plans?

Rosie: I'm going to work in a department store.

Dj: Why do you want to do that?

Rosie: Two reasons really. I'm going to study Management at university

and this will give me the chance to find out what it's like to work in a big

organization. And I'll also be able to earn some money.

Dj: What about you, Helen?

Helen: I'm going to community work with a conservation group. I think

it will be good to do something really useful. And I'll meet a lot of interesting

people I'm sure.

Dj: Will you get paid for it?

Helen: Well, we won't get rich doing it but we'll be all right. We'll get

about £20 a week plus food and accommodation.

Dj: How are you going to spend saving money?

Rosie: I'm going to travel around Europe. Well, mainly because it will be

a change. After all, I've been at school for 13 years. I just want to do something

different. It will give me new experiences and I'll need to be more independent.

Dj: Are you going to travel, too, Helen?

Helen: Yes. I'm going to join an expedition to Alaska.

Dj: That sounds exciting.

Helen: Yes, I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be a real challenge. But

we aren't leaving till next January, so I'll have to get a job first to pay for it. It's

going to cost about £3 000.

Dj: Well, good luck to all of you and I hope you enjoy your year out.
