3 I cannot sleep well. Doctor: Hum, I have several suggestions for that. Peter: Great. Doctor: First you should put the stick away as that's probably the source of the problem. Peter: Oh, really? I wish I'd know. Doctor: After that, I can prescribe you something to relax the muscles in your back Peter: Oh, sorry to be difficult, but I've had something like that in the past, and there were many side effects, and I don't want to take it. Would you recommend anything else? Doctor: Well, yes. We do have a leaflet showing some exercises you can do yourself at home. If you do them every day, they'll soon be effective. Peter: Great.

4 TRANSCRIPT Woman:   Callum, you have a popular book review website. How did you learn about setting up a website? Callum:   I first learned to write computer programs when I was eleven. We created instructions in class to control a little robot. My mum works in IT, though, and she showed me how to use similar skills to create my own pages online. There are hundreds of websites about this too, but I found them quite confusing. Woman:   Why did you decide to set up a book review website? Callum:   I’d seen an article about teenagers not reading enough and was wondering about possible solutions to this. My best friend’s into video games and writes reviews for various websites. These sites seem to encourage teenagers to play more games, so I thought it must be possible to do the same with reading. It’s nice to see teenagers exchanging opinions about literature, rather than video games! Woman:   How did you feel when your site first went online? Callum:   I was nervous, of course, but I couldn’t believe how well it worked. But even when a site looks as good as mine did, you can never be sure that people will like it. And if it ends up not being popular, there’s no way you’ll achieve what you’ve set out to do with the site. Woman:   You have school, your website and a social life – what’s a typical day like? Callum:   You’d think I’d never have a chance to relax, wouldn’t you, but it’s rarely that busy. I certainly don’t have many opportunities to get bored, as everything I do throughout each day is so different. I make a plan each evening for what I want to achieve the next day, which I usually stick to. Woman:   What would you like to be doing when you’re 18? Callum:   Many website designers have ambitions to join one of the huge technology businesses based in the USA. I want to stay close to my family in Canada, though. I’ve thought about studying computer science. However, I learn better by doing than by studying, so I’d prefer to have my own web design company than go to college. Woman:   Tell us about your new website … Callum:   I wanted to create something about music. When I looked online, I found very little on how music supports people through difficult times and how sharing stories about this benefits others, so that’s what I’ve done. There are so many sites for uploading your own songs, or for finding out how to play guitar, or whatever, but I wanted something different. Woman:   Thank you, Callum!
