E They tried to destroythe other representative'sargument.

F Once they are all together they are divided into five committees.

In order to demonstrate the value ot good communication skilIs, a boarding school in Bath, in thewestof

England, decided to organise an interestingand exciting way ot teaching teenagershow to argue and debate

in public. 1161 IThe Model United Nations programme, which is a role-play exercise,was firstdeveloped in the US where it forms part ot the curriculum in hundreds ot schools.

G They hold an annual Model United Nations (called MUN tor short by teachers

and students)based on the real United Nations General Assembly.

H In some yearsa tew students trom other countries such as Ita!yand Poland willal50attend.

As many as 600 student representatives,ranging in age from 13 to 18, attend trom schools all over England

and Northern Ireland. 1171 I TlpStrlp

The important roles within the UN, like the presidentof the general assembly,and the topies, are chosenby

the teachers,and they decidewhich subjectsstudentswill discuss.11SI I

MUN starts on a Friday evening and lasts until Sunday evening. Betore arriving all the students are given a

country to represent and are expected to prepare tor the discussion in advance.1191 I

I always need to get away from other people at samepOint during the day. It'snot that I don't get on with

others, I've loads of friends. But I wark in a reallybusy office in the centre of town and from the

moment Ileave home each morning it'snon-stop.Crowds on the buses, busy streets,office bustle,

phones, e-mail, do this, do that ". By the time the

endof the day comes, I'm desperate for same peace

and quiet. Even if I'm going out later in the evening, I

always make sure I have at least an hour to myselfwithout anyone being able to disturb me. I arrive

home, make mysell a drink and lie on the sofa. I close

my eyes and relax by concentrating on each part of

my body in turn, beginning with my neckoEven if I'm

away from home, I try to find the time just to be

alone in order to unwind and recharge my batteries.

If I don't make this space for myself, I feel reallytenseand irritable.

. B Lia

I share a student fiat with three others, 50 there's

never a quiet moment. When I come back fram

college in the evenings it'squite likely that there'lIbe other people there as well and we'lI all have

supper together. It'sgreat fun but towards the end of

the evening I feel really tired and 50 Ilike to disappear

by myself for a while. It'shopeless to try and find anyprivacy in the fiat, 50 I go out for a walk. Whatever

the weather, I walk through the park which is quite

close. Late at night it's usuallyempty.There arejust

shadows and the rustle of animals and birds. It'svery

peaceful and it gives me the opportunity to reflectonthe day and to think about what I have to do the

next day. When I get back to the fiat Ilike to go

straight to bed. Usually I fali asleep pretty quickly

even if the others are still up and chatting ar listeningto musie. If I don't get this time to myself,1'11be like a

bear with a sore head the next morning and not niceto knowI

C Beatriz .

I'm a night owi and I absolutely hate getting up in

the mornings. If people try and talk to me before

midday, I reallysnap at them. Being an actressmeans

that I wark late 50 it's important that I create space

for myself at the beginning of each day.And because

I use my voice 50 much, in lact totally depend on it, I

like to rest my voice and just listen to musiewhen I

wake up. I don't even want to hear other people's

voices. Same people lind this very hard to understand

and get quite cross when I tell them not to contact

me before noon. I tell them it's nothing personal butthey stil!sound offended. I'm sure it must be the

same for singers and, who knows, maybe teachers

and lecturersget led up with hearing the sound of

their own voice and simply long to be by themselvessomewhere, in complete silence.

D Natalie.

I wark in a cali centre, which means I'm constantlyonthe phone. Apart from lunch and twa short breaks

during the day I'm speaking to people all day long.

And of course you never get to see who you're

speaking to! By the end of my shift I'm exhausted,

not because I'm rushing around ar I'm on my leet all

day but simply because I've spent the day talking andlistening.The breaks are soshart that there'sno time

to do anything other than get a drink and something

to eat. I'd love to be able to go for a walk but there's

nowhere to escapeto within easywalking distance.

The building where I wark is in the middle ol an

industria' estate,you can't even see a single tree. Sa

my fiat is luli of house plants and when I get home

it'swonderful to be able to relax,surrounded by all

the greenery.Ilie on the Iloor, stretch out, 'gok up atthe plants and try to imagine I'm in atropicalrainforest miles away!

TIME TRAVEL

Haveyou everwishedyoucouldtravelbackintothepast

to change into some moment in your life? Have you ever

wanted to visit some impertant event in the history? Time

travel is a wonderful idea but it is fuli of difficulties. One

famous scientist, is Stephen Hawking, has said that if time

travelwas possiblewe would be visitedby time tourists. But

as we are since obviouslynot visited by such people, then time

travel is impossible. Other scientists,and liowever, disagree

with him and argue that our planet, Earth, is so far tiny a part

of the universethat time travellershave not vet visited this time

and place. Would it be pessibleso to travel into the future?

Scientistssay that therethis is almost certainly impossible,

although there is a faint rayof hope. It is believed that in the

future the universewill stop or expanding and start to grow smalIer.

This may allow travel into the future although there is one major

problem: it will take on another few billion years before the

universe reachesto this stage.

I'm a poet and I spend a large part of my life travellingaround the world. I have a laptopcomputer, whichmeans I can work on trains and buses, wherever I

happen to be. My poems always begin in a notebook(and I mean the paper variety)where they stay for awhile, moving from notes I have made, sometimesjustindividual words and phrases, to more developedpieces.The only way I can keep in touch with my familyand also.stay in contact with other writers is by usinge-mail. Actually, I alsousee-mailfor sendingwork-poems, articles, reviews - to magazines, publishers andnewspapers. Through my PC I am in constantcommunication with writers all over the world and

we're able to swap poems and ideaswithin seconds. It'sbrilliant.
