　　1= Interviewer; C = Carl

　　Part 1

　　I:Can you tell me about the project you worked on in Egypt?

　　C:Egypt has developed a large programme to clean up and protect its water. One of the projects is to help small farmers build small channels to make sure that the water supplied by the government can be used in the best way possible.

　　I:So what was the problem?

　　C:It was often difficult for farmers to keep the channels clean and in good order. The channels were used as rubbish bins and too many plants grew where the water should flow.

　　I:How did you solve the problem?

　　C:At first, we thought that the farmers simply didn’t understand the situation and that we could solve the problem by educating them. But just to make sure, we interviewed some farmers and observed what they were doing.

　　I:What did you do to learn more about the farmers and their work?

　　C:Well, we visited many farmers and their families. We also formed small discussion groups in which we talked about the problem and what could be done about it.

　　I:What did the farmers think and do?

　　C:We found that the farmers did know a1’out the problem and had paid a company to clean the channels. But they didn’t do it often enough.

　　Part 2

　　IWhy didn’t the farmers clean the channels often enough?

　　CThey thought that the government was responsible for the channels and they only cleaned them up when there was too much rubbish. They felt that this was unfair and didn’t believe what the government said.

　　I:And how did the government react to this?

　　C:Well, they were very surprised. They decided to show the farmers that they were serious about the problem. Farmers and the government would work together. The farmers formed a group that would oversee the work. A special channel cleaning day was chosen and the farmers and the government decided to share the costs. The farmers would pay for the cleaning equipment and the government would pay for taking the rubbish away.

　　I:That sounds like a good solution.

　　C:It was. Working together also gave people a chance to understand the dangers of throwing rubbish in the channels. It stopped the water from flowing and made it dangerous for children to swim in the channel and for women to use the water at home.

　　I:Were the farmers happy about the solution?

　　C:Yes, they were. The project was a success. By working together, more things were achieved and everybody learnt from the experience.

　　Unit 10 (SB)

　　And now the weather forecast for Tuesday, June 24. Cooler and drier air over the Northwest will advance towards the East on Tuesday. But as it does so, it will meet with warm and moist air already in place resulting in showers and thunderstorms.

　　Thunderstorms are possible in areas from the Southern states to the Northeastern states where we might see some pretty bad weather, with wet snow and strong winds, perhaps even some storms.

　　The showers and thunderstorms that hit the Midwest on Monday may still be around part of Tuesday, but will disappear during the afternoon.

　　Comfortable temperatures around 75 degrees are forecast for the South, 68 to 72 for the Midwest and similar temperatures for the Northeast, while higher temperatures, up to 88 will be found in the east along the coast. While the Southwest may see some rain or even thunderstorms, the rest of the West will be hot with temperatures over 100 degrees and no hope of a cooling shower. Far to the Southeast, the storm, which had looked as if it would grow into a hurricane, fell apart on Monday. This year has already seen an unusually high number of hurricanes. Hurricane Danny in the Atlantic Ocean last week has put 2003 in third place behind 1997 and 1959 for having the most tropical storms or hurricanes this early in the season. The fourth storm usually arrives towards the end of August, so Danny, formed on Wednesday, came a month and a half early.

　　If the fifth named storm - the “E” storm - develops before July 22, this year will have the hurricane season with the fastest start. Its name would be Erika. The hurricane season is from June 1 till the end of November. A typical Atlantic hurricane season has 10 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. The latter can be a real disaster when they hit the coast. Tropical storms such as hurricanes and typhoons are given names to avoid confusion. Their names start with letters in the order of the alphabet. The first five storms in 2005 will be named Arlene, Bret, Cindy, Dennis and Emily.
