World". Alice has recently travelled around India on an elephant.
Karen:Welcome to the programme. First of all, Alice, what gave you the idea to travel around India on
an elephant?
Alice:Well, it all started when I went to a photographic exhibition of elephants. Then, a few days later, I
started reading a book about an Englishman travelling all the way to India on foot. I suddenly had the idea
to travel on an elephant.
Karen: So what did you do next?
Alice: I rang a friend in India and told him 1 wanted to buy an elephant. He told me about the prices of
elephants. He said that 1 would need two people to help me: one person to cut the animal"s food, because elephants can eat up to 200kg of food each day, and another person to drive the elephant.
Karen:Is it expensive to buy an elephant?
Alice:We bought a female elephant called Tara for about US$6,000.
Karen: Well, Alice, you"d found your elephant. What did you do next?
Alice:Next, we had to plan our route. As we had to sell Tara at the end of the journey, we decided to
travel to Sonepur in northern India where the world"s oldest elephant market is located. The market lasts
for two weeks every year and elephants can never be sold there before the special date of 23rd
November. The whole journey would take about 64 days to complete.
Karen:I see. And did you have any problems on your journey?
Alice:Yes. a few, but nothing too serious. At the beginning, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better after a
week. The weather was very bad as well. And we often found uninvited guests in our tents-snakes-which made sleeping rather difficult!
Karen: That sounds awful! And what finally happened when you reached the end of your journey?
Alice: I had grown very fond of Tara, and I didn"t want to sell her, even though I knew I had to. Luckily,
however, I met some old friends at the market. They were looking for an elephant for their national park. I knew that Tara would be safe in the national park, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye.

| The summer vacation is over. It"s true that time always flew fast. During the vacation, the weather was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily. As the afternoon was hot, I did my work in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in maths. These would take me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and I believe I made good progress. I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was full of fun. I would not go home until it was late at about five or six o"clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours listening to music. In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits. |

| There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare (比较) the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make a choice(选择) when we shop. Knowing how to make such choices is a "life skill", and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives. Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day. We have realized that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: who else does your choice affect? |
