I’m a final-year student at Woodlands School in Thornbury and, together with my twin brother Steve, I spent a week at the local college doing a course in make-up skills for the entertainment industry. It was a kind of work-experience scheme and I’m here to tell you all about it. On the course, you can do, like, various diplomas depending on what you’re interested in. I had a choice of hairdressing, which is not quite my thing, manicure, which I didn’t feel quite ready for, or beauty studies, which I went for because it seemed to give the basics. Now, in case you’re wondering. This wasn’t a week off school. It is schoolwork, we’re just not in the school building – and we’re in with kids from other schools, which is cool.

3 Choose TWO letters, A-E. Which TWO things does Alice say about the Dolphin Conservation Trust? A. Children make up most of the membership. B. It's the country's largest conservation organisation. C. It helps finance campaigns for changes in fishing practices. D. It employs several dolphin experts full-time. E. Volunteers help in various ways. TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: Today we’re pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust. Tell us about the Trust, Alice. Alice: Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world. It tries to raise people’s awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats. It started ten years ago and it’s one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country — although it’s still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection. We are particularly proud of the work we do in education — last year we visited a huge number of schools in different parts of the country, going round to talk to children and young people aged from five to eighteen. In fact, about thirty-five per cent of our members are children. The charity uses its money to support campaigns — for example, for changes in fishing policy and so forth. [11/12] It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist — with dolphin expertise — to monitor populations. Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation, office work and other things. [11/12] Questions 13-15 Choose the correct letter, A, B or C. 13. Why is Alice pleased that the Trust has won the Charity Commission award? A. It has brought in extra money. B. It made the work of the Trust better known. C. It has attracted more members. 14. Alice says oil exploration causes problems to dolphins because of ______. A. noise B. oil leaks C. movement of ships 15. Alice became interested in dolphins when ______. A. she saw one swimming near her home B. she heard a speaker at her school C. she read a book about them
