Lucky vendor jets to Tenerife to start new life in the sun

By Max Daly A former Big Issue1) vendor is still pinching himself after swapping the windswept streets of Britain for the sun-soaked island of Tenerife. Geoff Hunter, 43, (pictured) slept rough for 12 years. But his fortunes changed when he was offered a job as a master baker on the island off the coast of north Africa.

The ex-vendor, used to sleeping on concrete on Bournemouth’s seafront in sub-zero temperatures, is now living in a flat minutes from a sandy beach. “At first, I thought it was a wind-up,” said Hunter, whose flight to Tenerife in September was his first trip by air. “I got off the plane and the heat just hit me.” Harry Malone, a Jobs, Education and Training worker at The Big Issue’s Bournemouth office, found the post after discovering Hunter had trained as a baker before becoming homeless. “Usually when you’re down people kick you. When they give you a hand-up it’s a surprise,” Malone said.

Letter of the month

Make hay while the sun shines Sir - Regarding your article about the ‘epidemic levels’ of the yellow weed ragwort (News, 30 August), next spring a number of skeletal horses will be taken in by the rescue charities. Large numbers will have liver damage from eating ragwort and most will not recover.

There has been a lot of haymaking in the late August sunshine. Ragwort has had all summer to take hold and thrive in the warm, wet conditions and horse owners should beware of buying hay unless they have seen the grassland beforehand and know it is ragwort-free.

As we all know, ragwort is more palatable when dry and a hungry horse will eat it on a cold winter’s day. The effects are not instant, but ultimately, they are deadly. Sally Learoyd Tresaith, Cardigan The writer of the letter of the month wins a tasty surprise! Horse & Hound

ASK HILARY

Your health issues healed!

Q DEAR HILARY, I can’t stop eating,

even when I’m not hungry. Help! Sally Brown, Manchester A Applying a hunger scale to assess your situation can help. A rating of 1-3

means you are uncomfortably hungry, 4-6 ranges from slightly hungry to feeling comfortable and satisfied, and 7-9 indicates you are full. Only eat when you’re feeling between one and four and ideally before you get to two when you’re more likely to overeat because you’re so hungry.

Text messages help ward off parking tickets

By Janelle Oswald [email protected]

1 SOUTH Londoners Paul Johnson, 33,

and Wilson Baptiste, 29, have developed a strategy to beat over-zealous traffic wardens.

2 The initiative, called Warden Watch, was inspired by numerous confrontational encounters with traffic wardens (for minor traffic offences) which led to them feeling duped, swindled and ripped off by what they call ‘road vultures’ – but most importantly, broke.

3 Warden Watch is a text message service that allows the public to help each other avoid getting parking tickets. It is a members’ only club, and once signed up, each member is given a sticker which is displayed on their car. The ‘warden watcher’ texts ‘ww’ followed by the spotted car’s registration to 60030, alerting the driver when a traffic warden is lurking suspiciously near their car. The whole process costs the ‘warden watcher’ the same price as sending an ordinary text

and is free for the person informed. Speaking to The Voice, Johnson said: “Warden Watch does not at any time encourage users of this service to park illegally or use this service to break the law. We just want to 7 wardens who are over-zealous.”

4 Since its launch, Warden Watch has gained support from shop owners, the public and of course motorists. Last year city councils and private firms grossed £350 million from parking tickets, which has enraged drivers.

5 Warden Watch now has a website that educates drivers on the rules of the road and gives advice on how to appeal against tickets that have been issued incorrectly.

2p 9 De jongeren die in de tekst aan het woord zijn, hebben alle vier een mening over

de ‘Asbo’ (zie de voetnoot bij de tekst). Wie vindt wat? Schrijf in je uitwerkbijlage achter de naam van de persoon de letter van de mening die hij of zij (ook) naar voren brengt. Let op: er blijft één mening over!

1 Shola Aleje 2 Corrine Burton 3 Monique Wallace 4 Jody McIntyre

a An Asbo is mainly an instrument to reassure worried parents.

b Having an Asbo is mainly a thing for city kids. c Parents ought to be the ones to correct their children

when they have done wrong. d Talking and listening is a good way of preventing

problems. e Instead of giving Asbos we need to punish anti-social

behaviour more severely.

It’s all about reputation Nearly a third of young people see Asbos1) as a badge of honour. Patrick Barkham asks four south Londoners what they think of the government’s ‘respect’ agenda

Shola Aleje, 21 “The media have a stereotypical view that Asbos are used on young hoodrats who run around the streets, but I heard about a man ‘getto blasting’ out U2 who got an Asbo. Anyone can get them. But I can definitely see how an Asbo can give you status on the street. It’s a sense of ownership – now they have something to prove that they are big.

I believe the whole Asbo-thing should be reviewed. Rather than getting an Asbo, tougher community service would be better, or even spend three days in jail on bread and water – that might work.”

Corrine Burton, 18 “I’ve never known anyone with an Asbo and I’ve never heard anyone bragging about it but I can see it happening. It’s about peer pressure and hierarchy. If you go to prison

GT-0071-a-11-2-o 9 lees verder ►►►

and come back out, some people are going to rate you and give you credit for that. Asbos are more for elderly people to get young people away from them and not step in their territory. They are more about that than addressing problems with young people. An Asbo isn’t going to stop someone from committing a crime. My solution for everything is communicating.

Communication is the key to everything. Lack of communication causes problems. Young people want to get heard. Most antisocial behaviour is crying out for attention.”

Monique Wallace, 20 “If you tell someone not to do something they are just going to do it more. There are a lot of kids growing up in this area who are really bad, but other things could be done apart from giving them an Asbo. Why are these children out on the streets doing this stuff in the first place? Is there somewhere else they

could be or is there something else they could do?

There is a lot about Asbos on TV and in the newspapers but young people don’t really read those things, so many don’t know what an Asbo is. It’s always someone in the city. You don’t see someone from the suburbs with an Asbo.”

Jody McIntyre, 16 “It is ridiculous to say an Asbo is a badge of honour. I don’t know anyone who thinks that, but perhaps in certain areas and certain communities they do.

Asbos could be a good thing but there are a lot of instances where they have been used the wrong way. Two children were threatened with Asbos because they were playing football outside their house. It seems to be like that with every law – there are always a number of instances where it’s not going to work. But it should be down to parents to discipline their offspring.”

Now it’s Manny Poppins

Manny about the house Sarah Ebner meets the parents who prefer a shot of testosterone to a spoonful of sugar

1 She may still be a great nanny in the West End musical, but it appears that Mary Poppins is actually out of fashion. According to those in the know, the woman who was ‘practically perfect in every way’ has a rival: the manny.

2 If you’ve never heard the term, you’re a few steps behind in the childcare stakes. For the ignorant, author Holly Peterson is here to shed some light on the issue. As one of the characters in her new book, suitably named The Manny, explains: ‘It’s a manny. M for male nanny. Think of it as the older brother we all dreamt of, but with the patience only money can buy.’

3 Peterson first heard about mannies soon after having her third child. She felt that her son, Jack, then three, was being ‘squashed’ by spending days with his older and

younger sisters, as well as his mother and nanny.

4 Now it appears that mannies are all the rage and the attractions seem obvious. It’s not so much a spoonful of sugar as a shot of testosterone around the house. Mannies play happily in the garden for hours, and seem genuinely interested in sports, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man and snails.

5 “Boys play differently to women,” says Peterson, 42. “The nanny is more of a comforter, while the manny is a ‘throw me across the room’ kind of guy. They fool around, play football and are happy to run around and around the park. I thought Jack would really benefit from it and he has.”

6 They may sound like a perfect playmate for any sons you may

GT-0071-a-11-2-o 11 lees verder ►►►

have, but what about the girls? Peterson thinks a male role model is good for them too. “Mannies have a different attitude,” she says. “They see situations in another way.”

7 Peterson’s book is certainly being published at the right time, as mannies have become increasingly popular in Britain. My Big Buddy, an agency specialising in male nannies (www.mybigbuddy.com), was recently launched in London. And Gumtree (www.gumtree.com), a website used by working parents to look for childcare, reports that searches for ‘male’ or ‘male nanny’ have gone up sevenfold in the past few months.

8 With increasing numbers of single parents, as well as older fathers who might struggle to run around a football pitch, mannies may well fill a gap. But one recent survey suggested another reason for the rising demand. In an apparent blow against sisterhood, almost 80 per cent of mothers admitted that they felt threatened by attractive female nannies, while 94 per cent said they would consider a male nanny instead.

9 Craig Smith, 20, works as a manny for Alison and Michael Goff in Sevenoaks, Kent. Craig looks after the Goffs’ three sons, from three to ten years old. “I couldn’t imagine doing the same thing every day,” says Smith, who explains that he always wanted to work with children. “Every day is different and really

rewarding too.” Smith describes his three charges as ‘sporty and boisterous’ and much of his time is spent in joining them in different sports activities. He plays ‘a lot’ of football with all three, but he also attends mother and toddler clubs with the youngest.

10 “My friends are builders, carpenters and electricians. They laughed their heads off when I told them what I was going to do. But when I say that I’ve been playing in the garden, they’re a bit jealous.”

11 He is sure that he got the job because the children are boys, but Alison Goff insists that’s not true. “People assume that because I have boys, I wanted a male nanny, but he was the best person I interviewed,” she says. “I admit I’ve been surprised to see how the kids are happier with him, perhaps because he loves the rough and tumble and is physically fit and active. If you have three boys, it’s no good having someone who wants to plait hair and paint fingernails.”

12 Holly Peterson would agree. Then again, she seems to have it all – the book deal, the investment banker husband, and even a nanny and a manny. But for those of us in the real world, choosing the perfect child-carer might never be the same again.

The Manny by Holly Peterson (HarperCollins) is available for £10 plus £1.25 p&p. To order, call Telegraph Books on 0870 428 4112.

1p 10 What was Holly Peterson’s main reason for hiring a manny according to paragraphs 2 and 3? A She followed the advice of her older brother who already had a manny. B She needed a real-life example for a character in her book. C She thought her son needed more male company. D She wanted to follow the latest trend.

2p 11 Geef van elk van de volgende beweringen aan of deze juist of onjuist is volgens de alinea’s 4 tot en met 6. Omcirkel achter elk nummer ‘juist’ of ‘onjuist’ in je uitwerkbijlage. 1 ‘Mannies’ gaan vaak wat te wild met kinderen om. 2 Het lijkt duidelijk waarom ‘mannies’ opeens zo in de mode zijn. 3 Meisjes hebben meer aan een ‘nanny’ dan aan een ‘manny’. 4 ‘Mannies’ willen alleen maar spelen met de kinderen en zijn daardoor minder

geschikt dan ‘nannies’.

1p 12 Which of the following is not true according to paragraphs 7 and 8? A Mannies are a great addition to families without a dad. B Mannies tend to make older dads have doubts about themselves. C Traditionally, people preferred nannies to mannies. D Women often see a manny as a good alternative to a beautiful nanny.

1p 13 Welk deel van de zin in alinea 9 geeft aan dat Craig Smith niet alleen maar ‘jongensdingen’ doet met de kinderen in zijn oppasgezin? Citeer (= schrijf over uit de tekst) dit deel van de zin in je uitwerkbijlage.

1p 14 According to paragraph 10, what was the first reaction of Craig Smith’s friends when they heard about his new job? They were A extremely disappointed. B highly amused. C quite envious. D rather amazed.

1p 15 Why did Alison Goff decide to employ Craig Smith in the first place, according to paragraph 11? She chose him because A her children preferred him to the others. B he was recommended to her by other people. C she had only boys in her household. D she thought he was the most suitable candidate.

Taxi driver rescues Andrew Norfolk A woman trapped upside down in a sinking car was rescued by a taxi driver who ignored warnings from the emergency services that it was too dangerous for him to enter the freezing water. James Brown, 41, was driving along an icy road shortly before midnight when he spotted the headlights of a Ford Ka half-submerged in a duck pond in Bishop Burton, East Yorkshire. Inside was Caroline Saunders, 28, a social worker, who had skidded on black ice and lost control of her car. The car had crashed through a fence and flipped on to its roof before landing in the water, leaving her 16 . Mr Brown did not realise that anyone was still in the car until he dialled 999 on his mobile phone and began speaking to a fire service controller. Only then did he spot Miss Saunders inside the upside-down vehicle. Though the controller at the other end of the phone urged him not to risk his life by attempting a rescue, Mr Brown said he could see that the car was filling with water and he decided that the emergency services would not 17 . “Another ten minutes and she would have died. I put down the phone and went in. The car was sinking down and half the car was underwater already,” he said. “I could see someone screaming

and banging on the window. It was like a scene from a horror film.” The door was jammed and the window would not open, so Mr Brown, after trying to reassure the terrified Miss Saunders, flagged down a passing motorist, who found a 18 in the back of his car. “I went back with it. I shouted to her and she said she was the only one in the car. I was just so 19 that she was talking to me. I smashed the window before dragging the girl out. She was very shaken up, but at least she got out.” Mr Brown, a self-employed taxi driver for the past six years, who has one child, carried Miss Saunders from the pond and put her in his car with a blanket around her.

20 emergency services reached the pond in the early hours of yesterday, she was taken to hospital and discharged after treatment for shock, cuts and bruises. Miss Saunders, who was driving home from work when the accident happened, said she had felt certain she was going to die. “It’s midnight, there’s no one around and I’m trapped, I can’t get out. I saw some headlights and I was beeping my horn, banging on the window, thinking, ‘Please see me, please see me’.” She said that her message to Mr Brown was: “Thank you, thank you so much for just being there and being good enough to 21 .”

A fire service spokesman said that Mr Brown had performed an exceptional rescue that had averted a potentially 22 incident.

1p 23 Je hebt zowel een Wii als een Xbox 360 en je wilt een spel kopen dat weer eens

GAME REVIEWS

Trauma Centre: Second Opinion Wii. Available now, £39.99

“Any similarity to organisations, persons…or cutting-edge medical techniques is merely coincidental.” That disclaimer can only mean one thing − months after its release as a launch title for the Wii in the United States, Trauma Centre: Second Opinion is making a disgracefully delayed appearance in the UK. In this wonderful surgical simulator, adapted from the DS but making exquisite use of the Wii’s controls, you play Derek Stiles, a hotshot doctor learning his trade in an American hospital. However, this being a Japanese game, it’s not just about stitches and scalpels: after a few

missions, a stunned Derek realises he has Magical Doctor Powers, chiefly the ability to save his patients by freezing time, and must use them to thwart a sinister medical conspiracy. The plot and dialogue are agreeably ludicrous, the game play is tight and increasingly challenging, and the whole experience makes for one of the Wii’s best titles. Robert Colville

BioShock Xbox 360 (version tested), PC. Available now, £39.99

Bio Shock starts in the 1960s: you’re in a plane and it’s crashing into the sea. Swimming to a tiny island, you find yourself transported to Rapture, an Art Deco undersea city built by the crazed genetic experimentalist Andrew Ryan. Semi-ruined, it is populated by aggressive ‘splicers’ and scary Little Sisters − genetically mutated little girls with giant robotic minders called Big Daddies − and other deranged and deadly characters.

There are some good guys, though, such as Irishman Atlas, who guides you around at first. Although nominally a first-person shooter, ammo is at a premium, but luckily you can inject yourself with plasmids and gain abilities such as telekinesis, and firing electricity bolts or fireballs. These let you defeat seemingly impregnable enemies by, say, setting pools of oil on fire. With incredible graphics, a great story and really fresh, innovative game play, this is one of the best games you’ll find this year. But beware: truly scary at times. Steve Boxer

Blue Dragon Xbox 360. Available now, £44.99

Just as boy bands follow a formula, so do Japanese role-playing games. (RPGs). Instead of singer, eye candy, bit of rough and secretly gay, you’ve got brash, spunky, brainy and cool-and-mysterious. All are present and correct in Blue Dragon, as are the other RPG essentials: turn-based combat, an intricate levelling and combat system, and a group of plucky children out to save the world. But then that familiarity is hardly surprising. In order to crack the Japanese market (which has ignored the Xbox and Xbox 360), Microsoft has recruited some of the biggest names from mega-hit franchises such as Final Fantasy to create an epic of its own.

The result is a massive, gorgeous game that caters shamelessly to the old-school RPG crowd − including some of the genre’s traditional drawbacks, most notably clichéd dialogue and a cuddly mascot player-character unpleasantly reminiscent of Jar Jar Binks. Robert Colville

Tuesday May 17th

Today I broke a vase. It was a

complete accident. I jumped onto

the mantelpiece and the vase just

fell off. I don’t think I touched it at

all. But the last time I broke a vase

the Upright who wears a Skirt was

furious. So I thought I’d stay out of

the way for a while. I didn’t go

back into the house until it was

pretty dark, and the Uprights had

been calling me for hours. Sure

enough, when I finally got back

they were so pleased to see me that

nothing at all was said about the

vase. Not that it was really my

fault anyway.

ANYONE WHO ADORES CATS WILL LOVE

Are you looking for a present for a friend or relative who likes cats? Then look no further. Alice’s Diary, the original memoirs of a very real six-year-old mixed tabby cat called Alice, explains precisely what it’s like to be a cat. It’s the nearest any

of us will ever come to finding out exactly what cats think about themselves, other cats and us.

“THE MOST ENCHANTING CAT BOOK IN THE WORLD”

Until she started to keep this diary, Alice had hardly ever written anything. She certainly hadn’t written anything for publication. But this, her first book, sparkles with wit and fun and a rare enthusiasm for life. She describes everything that happens to her and her half sister Thomassina with a keen eye for the absurd and a rare sense of wisdom. Whether she is describing her relationship with the human beings with whom she shares her life (there are two of them – described as the Upright in Trousers and the Upright who wears a Skirt), her relationships with her many cat friends or her (not always successful) attempts at hunting, no cat lover will fail to find her story enchanting.

Any cat lover who is fortunate enough to read this book will laugh out loud occasionally, smile frequently and maybe even cry once or twice. Most important of all, perhaps every reader will, for the first time, have an insight into what it’s really like to be a cat.

Schrijfopdracht

13p 29 Inleiding Je had de advertentie van tekst 10 al eerder in The Daily Telegraph gelezen. Je bent een echte kattenliefhebber en jullie hebben thuis twee katten, daarom wilde je dit boek graag lezen. Het leek je altijd al leuk om erachter te komen hoe katten de wereld om zich heen zien. Je dacht dat het geen probleem zou zijn om het boek in het Engels te lezen. De twee afgedrukte pagina’s uit het boek die in de advertentie staan, kon je goed begrijpen. Omdat je het boek mocht terugsturen als het tegenviel, met een ‘niet goed, geld terug’-garantie, besloot je het te bestellen. Je hebt het boek net binnengekregen en je bent direct begonnen met lezen, maar het Engels blijkt moeilijker te zijn dan je had verwacht. Er is te veel dat je niet snapt en daardoor is het, helaas, niet leuk om te lezen. Je besluit het boek terug te sturen en in een begeleidende brief te verwijzen naar de garantie. Het boek ziet er nog prima uit, dus je verwacht dat de uitgever zich aan zijn belofte (niet goed, geld terug) zal houden. Het adres is: Publishing House, Trinity Place, Barnstaple, Devon, EX32 9HG, UK Opdracht Schrijf de brief en gebruik de informatie uit de bovenstaande inleiding bij het uitwerken van de volgende punten: − Stel jezelf voor (naam, leeftijd, land). − Vertel waar je de advertentie van het boek hebt gelezen en − waarom je dacht dat dit boek echt iets voor jou zou zijn. − Vertel wat je graag over katten te weten wilt komen. − Leg uit waarom je dacht dat je het boek wel zou kunnen lezen en − maak een opmerking over het Engels in het boek waardoor dat niet lukt. − Zeg dat je het boek volgens de voorwaarden hebt teruggestuurd en − wat je nu van de uitgever verwacht. − Sluit de brief af met een passend slot. Aanwijzingen Maak een logische alinea-indeling en sla na elke alinea een regel over. Denk aan je eigen adres en dat van Publishing House, de datum, de aanhef en de afsluiting. (Om je te helpen staat op de volgende pagina een lijstje met 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 bovenaan de 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! Let op: de laatste aanwijzing van dit examen staat op de volgende pagina.
