A day in the life of Peter Maxwell

Peter Maxwell is unemployed. He is 24.

" I usually get up at about eight o'clock. Then I have breakfast -coffee or tea, and some toast. After this I go down to the library and read the paper. There are a lot of us at the library. We never say we're unemployed but we know. I look at all the possible jobs in the papers (this takes about a minute! ), I read the sports and the arts pages, and soon it's time for lunch so I go off down to the shops for bread, milk, fresh vegetables and 25 pence worth of cheese. I like shopping, and I like cooking now, too. On the way back from the shops I buy a local paper and look at the job advertisements over lunch (soup and bread and butter).

After " lunch" on Mondays and Wednesdays I go to a carpentry class. These classes are free for unemployed people. It's important to do a lot of things when you're unemployed. You need a routine for the day. On the other days of the week I go for walks if the weather's all right, or I read. At about six o'clock I start preparing the Big Meal of the day. I take a lot of time over this. It's usually vegetables and cheese, or sometimes spaghetti bolognaise. After supper my wife and I read, or play chess. Every Friday we go to a pub, or to the cinema. I don't watch TV much. Usually at 10.30 we turn off the heater and go to bed".

A lot of people are familiar with the story of a brave dog that faithfully defended his master's baby son, but which was then killed through misunderstanding. However, only a few people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.

About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had a bright idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and he had been fond or dogs. This is highly probable as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to invent the story of a brave and faithful dog and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master. Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. Accordingly, one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around. The " legend" soon caught up and developed a life of its own. People came from afar and wide to see the spot where the hound was buried. So, business became very good for the hotel owner.

Here on Skye...

Here on Skye I do more than deliver letters and parcels. There aren't any buses or trains in this part of the island, so the post office also runs a passenger service. The bus which I drive has eleven seats so people from the farms and villages can get into Broadford for shopping or for work.

I live in Elgol, a small village on the south-west coast of the island. I leave Elgol post office every morning at 8 a.m. and drive my bus 24 km. to Broadford. I stop for passengers and empty the five post boxes along the road.

I also pickup the school children that live along my route and take them to the school in Broadford. There's a school for young children in Elgol, but the older children have to travel into the town.

Sometimes it takes me about three hours to finish my round. I take shoppmg to some of the elderly people who can't always get to Broadford; I deliver the milk and newspapers six days a week. I shouldn't deliver animals, but I sometimes take a puppy or a rabbit as a passenger. The Post Office charges people, of course, for all these extra services. It's 70p to travel from Elgol to Broadford and it costs Юр to deliver a pint of milk.

People often ask me how I like living here on Skye, especially since I come from the city. Well, it's difficult to explain, but here I feel part of the community; it's good to know that you are helping people. I'd hate to live in the city again.

Mr.Alex Fraser lived his entire life in a small town in the North of England.

He never left the house where he had been born, never married, never went on holiday and had no friends. He worked in a local factory for over forty years but even the people who had worked with him for years knew very little about him. He wore the same old clothes for years, and though he stopped regularly at the local store he bought only the most basic foodstuffs, never changing his purchases from one week to the next.

So when he died last month neighbours and local people were astonished to learn that Mr.Fraser was not just a rich man, he was in fact a millionaire.

He had no bank account, no money invested anywhere, but in the various drawers, cupboards and boxes in the house there were hundreds and thousands of banknotes and coins. It took police over two weeks to clear the house and the bank clerks took just as long to count all the money.

" We had absolutely no idea that he had been hiding his money over the years", one of trie neighbours said. " In fact we used to feel sorry for him, we thought he was a poor old man unable to afford anything better for himself.

The classrooms were dull. They smelt of sand, disinfectant, and chalky blackboard dusters. There was a sour chill in the cloakrooms. The walls of some of the classrooms were made of varnished partitions through which you could hear the class next door slodging through the alphabet or the Lord's Prayer or " Thirty Days hath September". On the walls hung religious pictures, maps of the Empire, photographs from Child Education, a large calendar, and the alphabet. On the window-sills were bulb vases of dark green glass, and a saucer or two with carrot tops growing in them. There was nothing of the gaiety and freedom and liveliness of an infant's class today, but I think the class as a whole was a happy one for we liked our jolly teacher, though I don't believe she taught us very much. I learned to write, painfully gripping the thin ribbed shank of a new school pen, by copying out dozens of times set phrases like " Virtue is its Own Reward". Those capital Rs were a trial. I remember the funny little exercise books we had to do our writing in, with two very widely-spaced lines to every small page: it was the devil of a job to hold it down when your steel nib was pressing and pricking the paper. The teacher would walk round, her fat arms comfortably folded over her bust, and tell us to make all our letters slope the same way. This was something I could never do, and it always amazed me when she extended my down and up strokes with her blue pencil, to see how far from parallel they were. I thought she went out of her way to make my handwriting look worse than it really was.

My father always encouraged us to read. We had a lot of books at home and I was very lucky to grow up in such a house of books. Of course, as a teenager I always felt that when my father advised you to do something you should resist as much as possible, so, when my father used to tell me to read the English classics I resisted. It was only when I reached my late teens that I started to read them and I began to think that they were good. I went to my first dance when I was 17.1 thought that I looked so gorgeous that I could hardly keep my eyes off myself. I wore a blue dress that my cousin had lent me, with a big blue velvet band set down the middle of the dress to let it out. I wore earrings which had made sores in my ears when I was " rehearsing" for the dance, so I had put sticking plaster on my ears and painted it blue to match the dress. I must have looked absolutely horrific.

Nobody - not one single person - danced with me that night. That was a black time. There weren't many dark passages in my childhood but that most definitely was one.

TEXT 10

In class I was very slow, untidy and silent. I trembled with apprehension nearly all the time. Sums were a mystery to me: I just couldn't add or multiply. The squared paper on which we did sums still makes me unhappy whenever I use it. Reading lessons were a little better, because I didn't mind books. When I first started school, I was able to read fairly well, but there were occasional words that baffled me and held me up. After a few weeks of patient struggling, a dam seemed to burst inside my head: I heard myself reading big words aloud, without much hesitation, and soon I found I could read fluently. The last word to puzzle me was " laugh". I remember poring over this odd word in my reader. The sentence ran: " And so the princess began to laugh and laugh and laugh." What could it be that the princess had begun to do? I was reading aloud, the class listening hard to catch my words, for I had a very soft voice. I came to the first " laugh", got my tongue round the " 1", voiced the " a" and - it was like a miracle! - the " f' sound followed as if instinctively. " Laugh! " I said, very slowly. As the other two " laughs" came with increasing confidence I really felt like laughing myself, for the first time since I had started school.

TEXT 11

My room is on the top of a four-storey building. The building isn't particularly beautiful, nor is the room, but it has a very beautiful view. It's on the top, and because it's quite high up I can see almost all of Athens.

Immediately opposite the room I can see a church, which is very nice - which can also be very annoying, because every Sunday morning they put loudspeakers in the yard of the church and you can hear the whole service whether you want to or not.

Beyond the church I can see the sea and the harbour. On the other side I can see the Acropolis and Lekavitos, which is a mountain in Athens with a church on the top as well.

It's very nice at night, because the whole city's lit up, and it looks beautiful. You can see the different colours of the lights and you can see the cars forming colours in the streets as they drive by, forming colours with their lights I mean.

Sometimes it's not so nice, though, especially early in the morning when there's a lot of smog over the city, and you wake up to a smog cloud that covers everything. The change is awful, because on a clear day the view is so marvellous and so beautiful, and the colours are so bright. But on a day that's polluted with the smog you can't even breathe.

TEXT 12

One afternoon just before Christmas an old gentleman was wandering through the town centre. The gaily-illuminated shops were packed with good things and crowded with cheerful shoppers. The children were gazing in wonder at all the toys on display in the windows. Suddenly the old gentleman spotted a dirty little boy sitting on the pavement, weeping bitterly. When the kind old getleman asked him why he was crying, the little boy told him that he had lost a tenpenny piece that his uncle had given him. Thrusting his hand into his pocket the old gentleman pulled out a handful of coins. He picked out a shiny, new tenpenny piece coin and handed it to the child. " Thank you very much", said the little boy, and, drying his eyes, he cheered up at once.

An hour, or so later the old man was making his way back home by the same route. To his astonishment he saw the same dirty little boy in precisely the same spot, crying just as bitterly as before. He went up to the boy and asked him if he had lost the tenpenny he had given him as well.

The little boy told him that actually he had not lost the second coin, but be still could not find his first tenpence. " If I could find my own tenpence", he said tearfully, " I'd have twenty pence now".

TEXT 13

I have a very clear earliest memory. I, the first born, was three and a half and my mother was expecting another child. I was constantly asking God to send me a new brother or sister. The " me" was important because I loved receiving presents. I was furious when the baby arrived, because all the attention moved from me to this small red-faced thing in a cot. It was a great disappointment to me. I had been praying for this moment and now here was a " thing" which kept on crying with everybody saying how beautiful it was. " Honestly", I said, " I would have preferred a rabbit! "

I got very used to walking as a child. I was the eldest of four so there was always somebody in a pram to be wheeled out for a walk.

My mother had this view that if she made our home a centre for lots of our friends to come to then she would know where we all were and she would not have to worry about us. So our house became a meeting point for children of all ages. My mother didn't have much of a home life when she was young: her parents had died when she was a child and she had been brought up by relations. I think that she tried to make up for this by ensuring that her own family would be a very definite and important entity. I know that there is always the danger that you look back too sympathetically -rose coloured spectacles and all that - but my childhood was a great joy.

TEXT 14

Once upon a time there was a king, Sunjar, who had a daughter, Princess Banu. The princess became very ill and her father the king was very sad because he could find no doctors who could cure her. Then one day astranger arrived in the capital, a man called Shadrack the physician, who offered to cure the princess. The king allowed him to see the princess, but told him that if he did not cure her, he would lose his head. Shadrack approached the couch where the princess was lying, but instead of examining her like a normal doctor he began to tell the princess stories, of wars and heroes, of peace and glory, and as he spoke his fingers never left her pulse. Finally, his diagnosis was finished. The princess went away, and Shadrack said to the king. " Your majesty, I have seen by the reactions of her pulse that she is in love, in love with someone who lives here in this city. That person lives in the street of the jewellers. The man she loves is a young, handsome man called Abul-Fazl, for when 1 mentioned his name she fainted."

Now the king admired the skill of this physician, and was very happy to know the cause of his daughter's illness, but he was at the same time very angry that she was in love with Abul-Fazl, because everyone knew that Abul-Fazl was an unpleasant fool. However, the king sent for the jeweller, and as soon as he arrived the princess began to recover. In a few days she was well again, the jeweller was behaving as if he was the king, nor Sunjar, and the king was so pleased with Shadrack the physician that he made him an important minister. Both the king and the doctor knew that Abul-Fazl was the wrong man for the princess, out they also knew that they could not send him away, because mat would bring back the princess's illness. Shadrack provided the answer.

By a trick, he gave Abul-Fazl a medicine which made him get older very quickly. It was as if each day he got about twenty years older. And very quickly, 190, the princess began to find his bent back and his grey hair very unattractive. At the same time, Shadrack gave himself another medicine, and by its effect, while Abul-Fazl was getting older, Shadrack was getting younger and younger.

Before very long the princess fell in love with the young physician, so deeply in love that when the king drove Abul-Fazl away from nis court, the princess hardly noticed. She and the physician and the king, her father, lived happily ever after. In this way we can see that nothing is inevitable.

PART III

About My Family

I enjoy the honest and open relationship in my family - but I think discipline must be used when necessary. There's never been a division between us, the children, and them, our parents. Freedom has made us close. I knew a girl whose parents were very strict and it made her a liar. I wouldn't like to do anything to upset my parents.

(from " IncentiveEnglish" by W. S. Fowler, J. Pidcock and R. Rycraft)

About My Parents

My mother and my father are very different people. Mum is always very calm; not exactly easy-going, because she does take things very seriously sometimes, but she doesn't get excited. When we were small (my brother and me) she almost never shouted at us. When we did something wrong she talked to us about it very f irmly, but in a calm tone of voice. If we shouted and cried she made us go and sit by ourselves in her sewing room until we calmed down. So when the news came, she reacted in her usual way, quietly seeing what she could do to prepare for changes that were coming.

Dad, on the other hand, shouted, kicked a chair, and went for a long walk to try to cool off. During the next few days he was cross with us a lot of the time, which upset us, as nothing was our fault.

Both of us kids were worried about what was going to happen, and a bit afraid, but we didn't talk to our parents much. Most of all we were worried about having to leave all of our school friends.

(from " The Cambridge English Course" by Leo Jones)

About My Friend

Julia is an extremely intelligent girl. I admire her delightful sense of humour. But at times she tends to act a little impulsively. Although she is generally a tolerant person, occasionally she reacts negatively if some small habit, such as nail-biting, annoys her.

I'm fond of my friend, but I do get annoyed with her sometimes. She's always arguing with me and, even, when she's wrong, she neverapologizes.

(from " Fourth Dimension" by R. O'Neill and P. Mugglestone)

My Native Town

We've only recently returned to live here and the town is almost as I remembered it. But some things are different, of course. There is too much traffic. It used to be quite quiet.

It's not a large town, although about a hundred thousand people live here. The university is the main feature of the town, and it has lots of old, very attractive buildings. The shops are good and there's a market.

We live in an old house on a hill not far from the centre of the town. From our back window I can see our garden, which is full of fruit trees and flowers. On the other side of the garden fence there's a road and a park.

I don't mind living here now. London isn't far away and the train is very fast. And I love going for walks in town or by the river on warm summer evenings. There's lots of green space, and peace and quiet. Beyond the park there's a wonderful view of the town, surrounded by hills in the distance. I can't help thinking it's one of the most beautiful views in the world. At weekends we really enjoy visiting places nearby, or taking a boat on the river. The countryside is wonderful, and there's so much to see.

It's a lively place and there's lots to do here. There are several cinemas and a couple of theatres.

(from " Flying Colours" by J. Garton-Sprender and S. Greenhall)

My Hobby

I was eight before I could read. I learnt to read during the three weeks. And my thirst for reading was fantastic!

I joined the library and the local librarian used to interrogate me on the contents, convinced that I was showing off: during the junior sehool holidays I had been reading 3 books a day!

Most adults were suspicious about my passion for books. " Your brain will burst" was a common warning, one that I took seriously. When reading, I half expected my head to explode and hit the ceiling. Reading became the most important thing in my life. My favourite place to read was on my bed, lying on a pink cotton counterpane, and if I had a bag of sweets next to me, I was in heaven.

I've always felt a great sadness on finishing a book I've enjoyed, and a strong reluctance to actually close the book and put it on a shelf.

The first book I lost a night's sleep over was Jane Eyre.

(from " Saturday Review", August 1992.)

I like watching television, though my parents are not very happy about my spending hours in front of the telly. They'd rather see me reading a book or playing in the open air, which, they say, would be healthier and more useful.

I agree there are too many mindless programmes but I, of course, watch TV selectively and have my own preferences. Firstly I like some of the American detective series. They are very entertaining though, I must admit, they are rather repetitive and you can always tell when the series writers are running short of ideas, because the final episodes of these series tend to be the noisiest and the most violent.

Secondly, I like athletic programmes. I never miss a chance to see them.

And finally, I like documentaries, though some of them require rather more background knowledge than I have for me to enjoy them completely.

(Abridged from " Synthesis" by W. S. Fowler and J. Pidcock)

Working Day

1. Alison (biology student, 20)

I get up at about seven o'clock. That gives me time togo jogging in the park near home before breakfast. I don't normally have a big breakfast -just a cup of tea and some toast and honey. The thing is that I always have a sandwich and a coffee in the university cafeteria at about eleven, when we have a break after lectures.

I leave for the university about a quarter to nine - it only takes me about ten minutes to get there, so I'm there in time for the first lecture. I'm studying biology, so I have quite a varied timetable, but on a normal day I have two hours of lectures, then two or three hours in the laboratory, and I spend the rest of the time in the university in the library.

During the term I'm usually busy studying, but I do have time for some things other than work. I mean, in the afternoons, after lunch, I sometimes play tennis or squash or go swimming. In the evenings, I go out with friends, so I don't usually get home much before half past nine or ten. I usually read for a while, but I'm always in bed by midnight.

2. Brenda (night nurse, 25)

At the moment I'm working as a night nurse in a big hospital, so my time-table is a bit strange. I have to be there to start work at eleven o'clock at night, and it's an eight-hour shift that goes through till seven in the morning. I leave home at about ten-thirty. That's when a friend of mine, another nurse, picks me up at home and gives me a lift in her car. It takes

us about twenty five minutes in normal traffic to get to the hospital. We don't usually have much to do at night. We just go round the wards and look after any patients who need care and attention, but we do sometimes get emergency cases, people who have been in car accidents, or bad heart attacks, things like that.

I get home at about seven-thirty in the morning and have a light breakfast-cereal, toast and fruit juice-and by a quarter to nine I'm in bed. If I'm lucky, I sleep till about three. Then I have lunch, clean the flat, read a bit and perhaps go out shopping. My boy-friend normally comes round about half past six, and we go out to the cinema or go for a drink. He works on a night-shift too. It's a hard life, but we're saving up to get married and we get paid extra for night work, of course.

(from " Synthesis" by W. S. Fowler and J. Pidcock)

Sports

I'm interested in sport, especially athletics, and I run seven or eight kilometres every day. I particularly enjoy cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I am running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.

Next year I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race - 26 miles, or 42 kilometres - and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it.

I'm interested in mountaineering as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I've done a series of climbs in the Alps during the last few years.

(from " The Cambridge English Course" by M. Swan and C. Walter.)

Physical fitness can help you to live longer, feel healthier and cope with life's problems. Various activities can help you keep fit: from running marathons to climbing mountains. For the average non-sporting person without much time to spare, activities like these are not very practical and, to be frank, they are a waste of time. It is much betterin my view to devote no more than half an hour every other day to doing exercises. The important thing is to stick to a routine so that you don't say to yourself, " I won't bother today! " or " I'll do it later! " If you haven't got the willpower to establish a routine like this, a sport like tennis might suit you better. Your partner will help you to remember to play regularly and

you'll be able to get your exercise outdoors, too.

Another good way of keeping fit is jogging: the important thing here is to build up slowly and not tooverdo it. It's best to keep away from roads so as not to breathe in traffic fumes instead of fresh air and in case you get run over!

Taking exercise can be time-consuming butthe feeling-of being fit and healthy makes up for the few minutes a day it takes.

(from " Progress Towards First Certificate" by Leo Jones)

Shopping

Last Saturday at 9 o'clock in the morning I left home to go to the shops. There wasn't much on my shopping list: I just needed some new batteries to my radio, a birthday card for my mother and some groceries at the supermarket. I decided to drive to town myself because I find it's much quicker to do your shopping on your own and you don't have to spend any time doing what someone else wants to do. While I was in town this time I decided to have a look round the bookshop. The shop was open so I went inside and there must have been thousands and thousands of books on every subject under the sun. The shopkeeper was awfully nice and he started asking me about the kinds of books I liked and he showed me some really interesting titles so I bought a couple for myself. Then, just as I was about to leave, I spotted a shelf full of old guide books and travel books. I was looking through them absent-mindedly and I found one all about our town and what it was like a hundred years ago. I couldn't resist buying it. After that I tried a few shops to see if they had any batteries in stock, but they didn't have the size I wanted. I had more luck with the birthday card but I was so fed up with shopping by this time that I forgot to get several of the things I needed for dinner. By the time I got home. I was so worn out that I had to spend the afternoon in an armchair.

(from " Progress Towards First Certificate " by Leo Jones)

Last week my mum and I went shopping and bought a pair of winter boots for me. They looked very smart and fitted me perfectly.

I had been wearing them for a couple of days when I noticed that the heel of the left boot was coming off and the sole of the right one was coming unstuck.

My mother said it wasdisgraceful, because the boots were expensive, and the assistant had persuaded us they would wear very well. My mother was very upset and disappointed and said she would have to take them back to the shop. She hoped they would replace them.

(from an interview with a native speaker)

Famous People Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy was a famous Russian writer of the nineteenth century. He lived between 1828 and 1910. He wrote many novels. Two of his most famous works are " War and Peace" and " Anna Karenina". Tolstoy was born in a wealthy family. However, he was not happy that others were poor. He did not like living the rich life when others did not have food or money. In fact, Tolstoy often dressed like a peasant. He wanted the simple life.

In his novels, Tolstoy wrote about many things, but one of his most important themes was nonviolence. His ideas about nonviolenceinfluenced two other famous leaders: Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. In fact, Tolstoy and Gandhi wrote letters to each other when Gandhi was in South Africa. Tolstoy's ideas helped Gandhi to use nonviolence.

Martin Luther King, the American civil rights leader, also believed in nonviolence. In his demonstrations during the 1960s, he always avoided violence. He helped to win more rights for Blacks.

Thus, Tolstoy, the great Russian writer of the nineteenth century, greatly influenced two other Great leaders of the peace movement.

(from " Academic Challenge in Russian " by H. Taylor Abdulaziz and A. D. Stover)

Golden Tenors

This year Luciano Pavarotti will be 60. He is celebrating by working hard. In 1995 Pavarotti is making grand opera appearances at the Met, Covent Garden, La Scala and elsewhere, and a string of arena concerts all

over the world from the Far East to the Americas. Only Pavarotti from the classical music world can fill these huge venues, normally the preserve of pop artists. And he does so singing standard operatic repertory and songs.

Pavarotti is a superstar, and in his sixtieth year he is as popular as ever, maybe even more so.

Placido Domingo is no chicken either - he is 54 or 58 this year depending which version of his biography you believe - yet still singing splendidly. Caruso and Jussi Bjorling, two of the great tenor voices of the century, were both dead before they were 50. That both Domingo and Pavarotti are singing so well at their age is a minor miracle to gladden the hearts of all music lovers.

Uniquely in the world of the opera, they are both well liked; Pavarotti for his expansive bear-like warmth, Domingo for his charm, modesty and excep-tional musical intelligence.

Besides they have learnt that the world is big enough for both of them, and they are even bigger together than apart. In truth, Pavarotti and Domingo are not really competitors. They are very different artists. They will be remembered as not just the finest voices of their own generation, but amongst the great tenors of history.

Greenpeace

Against the odds, Greenpeace has brought the plight of the natural world to the attention of caring people. Greenpeace began with a protest voyage into a nuclear test zone. The test was disrupted. Then Greenpeace sent its tiny inflatable boats to protect the whales. Today commercial whaling is banned.

In the North Sea, Greenpeace swimmers turned back dump ships carrying chemical wastes. New laws to protect the North Sea have been promised.

Peaceful direct action by Greenpeace has involved the power of public opinion which in turn has forced changes in the law to protect wildlife and to stop the pollution of the natural world.

I don't like beaches much and I don't like sitting about doing nothing. But I do like swimming. And my father is a fantastic swimmer, you know, for style, and for ease and elegance, although he hasn't swum for years. But when I was a child I remember so often going to the baths with him and he was marvellous.

(from " Have you heard" by Mary Underwood)

That's hisideal holiday togo camping somewhere wild, to the remote park or Lake District, and I enjoy that too if the weather is O.K., but we were very unlucky last June and it was really rotten... It was freezing cold and we were sitting in the tent absolutely frozen to death and the wind was so strong that we couldn't dare use the burner for cooking...
