Transcript 04 MIKE What are you reading, Karen? KAREN I’m reading an article about someone with an amazing memory. Her name’s Louise Owen and she lives in New York. She’s thirty-seven years old and she’s a musician. She plays the violin. MIKE What’s so special about her memory then? KAREN Well, you can say a date, for example the 2 nd^ of January 1990 and she remembers everything about that day. She can remember every day of her life since her eleventh birthday. She doesn’t try to memorise things. She just remembers them. MIKE So she can remember what she had for breakfast on that day and things like that? KAREN Yes, everything. She can remember all her conversations. Scientists call it ‘Superior Autobiographical Memory’ because she remembers every detail of her life, Mike. MIKE She’s lucky. I’m hopeless at remembering things. I’d love to have a brilliant memory. It’s so useful.

Transcript 11 PRESENTER Our guest on the Good Food Programme today is a chilli farmer. And no, he’s not from South America. He’s from an island with a much chillier climate. He’s from York in the north of England. Please welcome to the programme our very own chilli pepper farmer, David Cooper. DAVID Good morning. PRESENTER Good morning, David and thank you for coming in on this ‘chilly’ November morning. I hope you can warm us up with a few chilli pepper stories. DAVID I’ll certainly try. PRESENTER Why did you decide to grow chilli peppers in the UK? DAVID Well, I worked as a photographer in Mexico and I loved chilli peppers. When I came back to the UK, I couldn’t find the same peppers here. So I decided to grow them myself. PRESENTER Isn’t it difficult to grow the peppers here with the cold weather? DAVID Everybody said, ‘It will be impossible. Chilli peppers won’t grow here!’ They were wrong. In the first year, all the plants produced thousands of chillies. I now grow more than seventy different varieties of peppers. PRESENTER And what do you do with all those chillies? DAVID I make hot spicy sauces and I sell them through my company, A Thousand and One Chillies. PRESENTER Have you got any plans for the future? DAVID Yes, in the future I’m going to produce chilli oils and chilli mayonnaise.
Transcript 12 KATE Last year we asked two thousand mums and dads in America to take part in a survey. We wanted to find out how many children helped with the housework. Which chores – jobs
- they liked doing and which chores they really hated doing. Here to talk to me today about the results of the survey is Melissa Spoon. Good morning Melissa. MELISSA Good morning Kate. KATE Let’s start with the all-important question – how many children in America actually help to do household chores? My guess is around fifty-seven percent. MELISSA No. You’re wrong there. The figure’s actually very high. We were quite surprised too. Eighty-seven percent of children help with household chores. KATE Really! So what is the average age they start doing the household chores? My guess is four and a half. MELISSA Yes, you’re right. The average age is four and a half. KATE Next question – how many children complain about doing household chores? I’d say all of them. MELISSA Yes, nearly all of them. Ninety-six percent of children complain about doing household chores. KATE So which are children’s least favourite chores? I know what mine was – I hated doing the washing up. MELISSA The answer is cleaning the bathroom and doing the washing up. KATE No surprises there then. Next question
- which are children’s favourite chores? I know mine was helping to bake cakes. MELISSA Children’s favourite chores are helping with the cooking and feeding the pet. KATE Last question – Which chore do most adults remember doing as a child? MELISSA It’s doing the washing up.

Transcript 21 Do you know anybody with a phobia? People have phobias about all kinds of unusual things. Here are four of those unusual fears.
Hi, I’m Sara and my phobia is the colour yellow. Seeing the sun, yellow paint or yellow flowers is frightening for me. Even the word yellow scares me!
Hi, I’m Jake and I hate walking through forests. Watching fairy tales and films with scary forests as a child may have caused my phobia. I can’t walk through a forest and I panic if I hear the word tree.
I’m Carrie and I hate clowns! It’s quite a common phobia actually, especially in children. Some famous actors such as, Daniel Radcliffe and Johnny Depp also have this phobia. Seeing a clown is frightening for us. Watching films is one cause of this phobia. Clowns are often scary characters in cartoon films and comics. Remember the Joker in Batman?
Hi, I’m Luca. I’m sure you all know somebody with my phobia! It was named five years ago
- nomophobia. According to recent surveys, more than half the people in the UK have this

each of his nine points. It was very powerful. ARTURO Yes, I agree. Anything else? JOHN A great speech should be organised. ARTURO Organised? That sounds boring. JOHN Have you listened to Steve Job’s graduation ceremony speech? ARTURO No. JOHN It’s an amazing speech. In 2005, Steve Jobs made an opening speech at Stanford University’s graduation ceremony in America. It began with, ‘Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.’ And that’s exactly what he did. It was very personal. It was emotional and it was full of good advice. You can watch it on YouTube. ARTURO What else makes a great speech? JOHN A story. A good example of telling a story is Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in
- He linked his life story with the story of America. You should read it sometime. ARTURO I will. But meanwhile, I’ve still got to write my speech. JOHN Well, read these three speeches. They’ll help you to write it. I’m sure.

Transcript 32 PRESENTER Welcome, everyone. Today, our guest , Alan Smith, is going to talk to us about working as a sales executive. Let’s give him a warm welcome, please. ALAN SMITH Hi, everyone. It’s nice to be here to talk to you today. I’ve worked in Sales for most of my career. And I’d like to say it’s a very rewarding career. It’s not a regular office job. You will need to work long hours. Many sales executives spend a lot of time on the road or travelling overseas. PRESENTER What skills and qualifications do you need for the job, Alan? ALAN SMITH You need to be confident and you need to have good communication skills. You need to be reliable, as you need to be on time for all your appointments. You need to be ambitious. You also need to be able to take rejection. PRESENTER Do I need any special qualifications? ALAN SMITH Your personality is the most important qualification. However, if you have a Level 4 or Level 5 diploma in sales management, that will look good on your CV. PRESENTER What do you like about the job? ALAN SMITH You meet lots of people and you travel to lots of different places. One day I’m in Manchester in the north of England and the next day I’m in Cardiff in Wales. PRESENTER What’s the salary like? ALAN SMITH Well, it can be very good. I started on £17,000 a year and my salary rose to £35,000 including bonuses. But I had to work long hours. PRESENTER That sounds good. Does the position have good career prospects? ALAN SMITH Yes, it does. There are good career prospects for talented sales executives. You can look forward to a career as a sales manager, an area or regional sales manager and eventually sales director.
PRESENTER What are the disadvantages of the job? ALAN SMITH It can be a lonely life because you’re travelling a lot of the time. You spend a lot of time away from your family and friends. PRESENTER What are the main tasks of a sales executive? ALAN SMITH I’ve prepared a handout for you but I’ll just run through the main tasks with you now. In a nutshell, you have to sell as many of your company’s products as possible. This means visiting customers regularly, and finding new markets and business opportunities. You also have to represent your company at trade fairs and other events.

Transcript 40 When I was nine years old I went on holiday with a friend and her family to Cornwall. We stayed at her grandparents’ house. It was a large, white house on a grassy clifftop with beautiful views of the sea from the garden. It was the kind of house you read about in storybooks. It was a holiday I will never forget. We went to the beach every day. It was a huge, sandy beach. We looked for crabs in the rock pools and we collected shells. We walked along the beach and climbed over the rocks below the cliffs looking for caves. You had to watch the time. If the tide came in, it could be dangerous. We swam in the sea and we went surfing too. There were huge waves. Some days we went out in the fishing boat and we caught lots of fish. Some days we took the ferry across to the little fishing town of Padstow and we bought sweets that looked like pebbles. The family moved to Cornwall soon after that holiday and we lost touch with them. I have been back to Padstow since that holiday but I’ve never been able to find the white house on the cliff top. It will stay as a memory.
