“I’m so busy this year! Tomorrow, for example, I need to go to Sydney for a conference in the morning. My flight leave at 6.30 a.m. and I don’t get home until 9 in the evening. There’s another conference in Perth in September. I leave on Monday 1st in the morning and I get back on the Wednesday night! On Friday I have patients booked at the clinic all day, and next week I have to write a report that will take me 5 days. Yesterday I didn’t get home until the late either! There seems to be so many people sick in Melbourn at present that I’ve been busy almost every day for the last 5 months. It’s unbelievable! Next month I’ll be in London delivering a paper and in December I need to go to my sister’s wedding in New Zealand. In a couple of days my daughter is graduating, my wife’s family is coming over at Christmas. And on January 2nd next year I’m flying to New York for yet another conference! Honestly, tonight is the only free time I have, so I’m just going to stay at home and relax with my family!”

A: What seems to be the trouble?

B: It’s my throat. It’s been really sore now for a week. I’ve been taking some medicine, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

A: Right, I see. Well, you’d better not take any more of that medicine. You should drink plenty of water. I don’t think it’s too serious. If it’s not better in a couple of days come back and see me.

A: I see, well, I’ll write you a prescription to ease your back pain. But the tablets may cause some drowsiness too. You will need to take one three times a day. Bed rest is the best thing for the next few days. You must try not to lift heavy objects. Better still, get someone to help you next time.

A: I’ve been eating a lot of spicy food lately. I love Indian curry, you see.

B: Well, I tried, but then…

A: Mr Smith, I’ve told you before. If you want to lose weight you should do more exercise and you should eat healthy food.

B: Can’t you just give me some tablets to help me to lose a few kilos?

A: Mr Smith. Medication can’t help you for this. You’ve got to stop eating foods which are high in fat and must start exercising more. It’s up to you.

B: Yeah, but it doesn’t hurt as much now as it did before. I was in agony last night. It couldn’t stop bleeding!

A: What I’ll do, and this might hurt a bit, I’ll clean it up and apply some cream. That will prevent any infection. I’ll put a bandage on it.

² T 5.10

Andrew: Hello … hello! My name is Andrew. Look, my wife tells me I’m drinking too much tea. She said it will make my teeth turn black. I don’t agree. Who’s right?

Radio health expert: Thanks for the call, Andrew. Yes, well, there’s recently been a lot of research into the effects of tea, and generally it’s good news for tea-drinkers. Green tea in particular, popular in Japan and China, appears to fight cancer. Not only that. It also seems to reduce the incidence of dental decay in two ways. First it contains fluoride which reduces decay. Also, it contains an important antioxidant. In a test group in China people rinsed their mouths with tea for more than 30 seconds five times a day. In this group there was a significant reduction in bacteria that cause dental decay. Oh, and that won’t turn your teeth black.

Dj: Now we have another caller on the line. It’s Maureen. Are you there?

Maureen: Hello, hello!

Dj: Yes, go ahead with your question for the expert, Maureen.

Maureen: Thank you. I’m a chocolate lover. Look, I know it’s fattening. But a girlfriend told me it can be good for you too. Is that right?

Radio health expert: Very interesting question, Maureen. Well, chocolate is an age-old remedy. In fact in its place of origin, South America, it was actually used as a medicine for people who were suffering from fevers, liver disease and kidney disorders. Hot chocolate was even prescribed as a laxative and to aid digestion a though doctors no longer prescribe chocolate for these ailments, research suggests that we may gain some benefits from eating chocolate, particularly dark chocolate. It seems to help maintain health of the heart. Although too much chocolate is obviously not good for you. The main point is that people should not feel guilty about eating it!

The greatest volcanic explosion occurred in 1883, when Krakatoa in Indonesia blew up, hurling rocks 55 km high. The explosion was heard in Australia, and generated a 40 metre high sea wave. Thirty-six thousand people died.

The most destructive earthquake happened in Kanto, Japan in 1923. In nearby Tokyo, where most of the houses were built of wood and paper, the shaking ground overturned stoves, setting the houses on fire. A fire storm then engulfed the city. Almost 144,000 people were killed and 575,000 homes were destroyed.

The highest sea wave or tsunami was estimated at 85 metres - almost as high as New York's Statue of Liberty. It appeared on 24 April 1971 off Ishigaki Island, Japan.

The worst lightning strike occurred in 1975, two days before Christmas, when a single bolt of lightning hit a hut near Umtali, Zimbabwe, killing 21 people.

Perhaps the unluckiest man alive is United States ex-park ranger Roy Sullivan who was struck by lightning seven times in 35 years.

The most violent hailstorm occurred in 1888, when 246 people died in a hailstorm in Moredabad, India.

About 18,000 Austrian and Italian soldiers were killed in a single day in 1916 by more than 100 avalanches in the Dolomites, northern Italy. This was the highest number of deaths ever caused by avalanches. The avalanches were started by gunfire.

1 Late reports from Indonesia's Flores Island tell of moderate damage and minor injuries during the eruption of Mt Lewotobi in East Nusatengarra. The Jakarta Post has reported that hundreds of houses, schools and other buildings sustained damage when one of the twin peaks of the volcano exploded. At least 20 people have sustained minor injuries, including some who were injured after falling off their motorbikes during the strong quake that accompanied the eruption. Mt Lewotobi last erupted on 29 June 1904.

2 The most powerful earthquake to strike western Washington State, USA in 30 years has injured four people and caused damage ranging from collapsed roofs and toppled chimneys, to gas leaks and power failures.

3 The lingering drought that has parched many parts of Iran in recent weeks has caused the country's agricultural sector an estimated 2.5 billion dollars in damage, according to Construction Minister, Mohammad Said Kya. He told Parliament that 'the current year will be catastrophic for our agriculture.' The legislative body has agreed to consider a bill to tackle the consequences of the drought, which has been described as the worst in the country for 40 years.

4 One thousand swimmers have been attacked by schools of jellyfish along the French Riviera during a weekend when high heat drove many people to beach resorts. It is believed the sudden increase in the number of jellyfish is due to climatic warming, which has triggered an increase in plankton food sources in the Mediterranean.

5 The death toll from the recent flooding along China's Yangtze River now stands at 240 people. The floods, which began in late June, have destroyed nearly half a million homes and swamped 660,000 hectares of crop land. An estimated 1.84 million people have been evacuated from the affected areas.

6 Swarms of locusts migrating from Kazakhstan have devoured large tracts of farmland in central Siberia over the last few days. The insects were first observed about 2,800 km east of Moscow. They later descended on 500 hectares of sunflower and grain crops which are the key agricultural output of the region. The devastation comes as grain supplies are dwindling across Russia.

7 New Zealand's biggest snowstorm in 25 years has closed down ski resorts and wreaked havoc with traffic. The South Island had more the one metre of snowfall in a 24-hour period. The unexpected storm has been a welcome surprise for local residents, as it arrived just before the start of the country's Winter Festival.

1 The captain summons the purser or senior flight attendant to the cockpit and informs the purser that he is going to call an emergency. The captain usually explains the problem, his intentions and the amount of time available.

2 The captain asks the passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts.

3 The purser assembles all the flight attendants and briefs them about the emergency situation and assigns each crewmember duties.

4 Next the cabin crew walk down the aisles and make sure passengers have stowed their hand luggage correctly – under the seat in front of them or in an overhead locker.

5 At this point, the purser makes an announcement informing the passengers that the captain has declared an emergency.

6 The purser tells the passengers to make sure their seats are in the upright position and to make sure the tray table is folded away.

7 Next the purser advises passengers to remove sharp objects, such as reading glasses and high heel shoes, which could cause injuries during impact, and place them in the overhead compartment or hand luggage.

8 If the captain is planning to ditch the aircraft, the cabin crew assist passengers with life jackets while the purser provides instructions over the public address system, reminding passengers not to inflate their life jackets inside the aircraft.
