Too flush with marks A German pensioner flushed bundles of old banknotes down the lavatory because he thought that the euro had made them worthless, police in the northern city of Kiel said. He was unaware that his 60,000 marks, which the euro replaced in 2002, could still be exchanged for about 30,000 euros (£20,000). Sewage workers recovered about half of the notes from the 64-year-old’s plumbing and the sewers. Police said that he dried and banked them. (Reuters)

One player, one book In a world filled with complicated MP3 players and online audio stores, it’s a wonder that anyone gets any listening done at all. Playaway hopes to change all that by making an audio book purchase as easy as plopping down a credit card at the airport gift shop. Playaway’s MP3 players, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, each contain one unabridged audio book. Titles include “The Da Vinci Code” and “Anansi Boys”, with more on the way. The devices come with headphones and a triple-A battery. When you’re ready to listen, simply pull a protective tab to get the battery going. The Playaway cannot be loaded with a different book, but you can add it to your library and listen to it again and again. A small screen shows the elapsed time, and the device has buttons for fast- forwarding, rewinding, adding bookmarks and skipping chapters. There’s even a Voice Speed button, which compresses the audio slightly, reducing the total playing time without sacrificing audio quality. The devices are available at bookshops, retail stores and online for $35 to $50. IPod owners may smirk at a one-book-only device, but I think Playaway may be the easiest and fastest way to get fro

Off yew1) go, yew poisonous so-and-so A year ago Bristol-council planted 100 yew1) trees on the Blaise Castle estate in the city. This week they cut them all down. A ‘risk assessment’ had decided that there was a danger that children might eat them. I found this odd. I have several yew trees in my garden, and two young children, and I now realise Child killer in action it is miraculous that the latter have not been hideously damaged by eating the former. It might have something to do with the fact (a) that children do not feel the urge to eat trees, whatever the health and safety fascists might think and (b) even if they did, one of the jobs of the parent is to advise them of the unsuitability of doing so. Yet it is an abiding principle of the health and safety industry that the worst must be assumed at all times – which is why, not long ago, another council axed its chestnut trees in case the conkers rained down, possibly fatally, on heads passing underneath. I think the time has come to lock children up 24 hours a day, and only let them out over the age of 18 in appropriate protective clothing. J. Edgar Bristol

Sophie Campbell went to Singapore for the city’s celebrated ‘Night Safari’ OONLIGHT. Out of the trees steps a tiger. Orange coat, white belly, all griddled with stripes. Sprays of whiskers caught in the moonbeams. Massive paws. He strolls down 5 to the river, files his claw thoughtfully on a log, steps over it and slides into the water. The territory is 40 hectares of rain-forest, next to the respected Singapore Gardens. The Night Safari Park opens at 7.30pm as night falls and closes at midnight. 10 Its inhabitants are the nocturnal creatures — otters, leopards, rhinos — which you never really see in a daylight zoo because they are curled up and snoring. Night Safari, now nine years old, is one of Singapore's top tourist attractions. Even so, the old rules 15 about animals still apply. On the night I was there, the Creatures Of The Night Show — with humorous commentary by a keeper with a headset — ground to a halt because the first act (a large owl) refused to come on. The mutiny spread: a leopard failed to appear on its platform. The Night Safari is staggeringly popular and since its great charm is the illusion that 20 you are out there with the animals, it really is worth aiming for solitude. You can walk — there are three different walking trails — or take the open-sided tram, which does a West Loop and an East Loop. My advice is to turn up at 9pm, avoid the show, always packed, and while everyone else is watching it, do one of the walking trails. The authentic jungle noises alone make 25 the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. You should get back just as the people watching the show rush off on the trams. This is your cue to dine at the Bongo Bongo Burger Bar and walk another trail to work off the food. As the stampede begins for the exit, you nip on to the last tram (11.15pm), and survey the creatures in peace!


What makes the Night Safari Park attractive to visitors, according to lines 1-12? A It gives them an opportunity to watch animals under unique conditions. B It has a collection of rare species that you will not find in other zoos. C It is situated in the middle of a big city. D It welcomes visitors nearly 24 hours a day.

“Even so, the old rules about animals still apply.” (lines 14 and 15) What does the writer want to point out? A Animals get lazy when everything is done for them. B Animals often do not behave in the way we expect them to. C These animals are still wild, so they can be quite dangerous. D These animals usually hate to perform tricks.

opgave 9Tekst 9 Emily Ashton finds out why

Eat up or pay up One London restaurant is cracking down on customers. Emily Ashton finds out why 1 t is a guilt trip inflicted on most children who leave sprouts or cabbage on their plates. “Eat up,” their mothers chide, “think of those starving children in Africa who don’t have such luxuries.” A few grimacing mouthfuls later, the plate is empty. Adults will be reminded of their youth when they step into one Nigerian restaurant in east London and are faced with a £2.50 fine if they fail to finish what they have taken for dinner. At the Obalende Suya Express restaurant in Dalston, the penalty for greed is donated straight to the local Oxfam shop. 2 The West African barbecue eatery attracts a full house every Sunday with its Grill Greedy buffet, with trays and dishes overflowing with steaming meats and fried bananas. As customers fill their plates, however, they can hardly miss a big red sign warning 4 them to make sure they eat it all up. Lara Odebunmi, who owns the restaurant with her husband Toks, says: “We realised a lot of people were wasting their food rather than finishing it, just because they could ‘eat as much as they liked’. They kept on 19 but they were only ever able to finish one plateful. At the end of the night, we felt really bad dumping all this food into the bin.” 3 FareShare, a national organisation that redistributes surplus food from 5 restaurants and shops to local charities, believes that the food sector trend-setting eating establishment.

Customers have to walk through the fast-food front to reach the softly lit dining room at the back, where 8 brightly coloured paintings adorn the walls and chefs work busily in the open kitchen. African music drifts out quietly as muted football matches are played on the wall-mounted television 9 screen. The restaurant’s name comes from Obalende, the popular area of Nigeria’s former capital, Lagos, which is famed for its suya: spiced meat that has been specially grilled on skewers. 6 Although it is the take-out part of the business, selling barbecued sandwiches and suya dishes, that attracts the most diners on weekdays, it is the dining area that draws in the guests at weekends. “Our buffet 10 regulars love the pounded yam, the jollof rice (steamed rice with tomatoes, onion, pepper and spices) and the barbecued chicken,” says manager Kenny Amuzu. At £13.95, the unlimited food deal is good value, notwithstanding the possible ₤ 2.50 surcharge. 7 The Suya Express isn’t the only restaurant with charitable inclinations. Sandwich chain Pret A Manger also offers its remaining produce to charity, 11 supplying FareShare with around 18 empty, so is the Oxfam fine pot.


“the penalty” (end paragraph 1) Who get this penalty according to paragraph 1? A customers who fill up their plates with more than they eat B Nigerians who sell overpriced products in local shops C parents who force their children to eat food they do not like D restaurant owners who throw away too much good food

In leiding Je bent op internet een BBC-oproep (zie tekst 12, Gimme a Break) tegen- gekomen en die trok direct je aandacht. Elk jaar ga je samen met je familie naar een camping in Zuid-Duitsland. Je broertje en jij vinden het saai: de volwassenen willen vooral uitrusten, zwemmen of hele dagen musea bezoeken. Een uurtje zwemmen is leuk, maar daarna zou je graag iets anders gaan doen. Op de camping is niet veel te beleven. Voor jou mag het allemaal anders! Je zou het ontzettend leuk vinden om aan het tv-programma mee te werken. Je hebt ideeën genoeg voor vakanties die geschikt zijn voor jong en oud: zeilen rond een tropisch eiland, een interessante stad bezoeken, duiken of op safari gaan. Tot je verbazing krijg je de rest van de familie enthousiast; dus je gaat een brief schrijven. Je hoopt dat je, ook als je niet in Groot-Brittannië woont, mee mag doen. Het adres is: PO Box 222, BBC TV Centre, London, W12 7RJ, England Opdracht Schrijf de brief. Maak gebruik van de informatie uit bovenstaande inleiding bij het uitwerken van de volgende punten: − Stel jezelf voor (naam, leeftijd, jongen/meisje, land). − Vertel hoe je denkt over het meedoen aan het tv-programma. − Vermeld waar jullie tot nu toe ieder jaar naar toe gaan. − Vertel wat jullie daar meestal doen en − wat jij en je broertje er niet leuk aan vinden. − Noem één van je ideeën (zie inleiding!) voor een familievakantie. − Vertel waar je verbaasd over bent. − Vermeld wat je hoopt. − Sluit af met 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, 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 bij deze opdracht staat op de volgende pagina.
