Trip #1 is in Hawaii. (Mmm.) For one week. It is an outdoors trip. You hike, you swim, you windsurf. (Uh-huh.) You can scuba dive.
You can just walk at the beach. Every day there is something different. This is a great trip for people who like to do many things. (Okay.) Trip #2 is a little bit different. It is called the Night Tour Holiday. It's for 5 days in Rio. (Mmm.) You don't do much in the daytime. You sleep. You sleep in the day and have fun at night.
(Ooh!) You go to a new club every night. You hear great music. You dance. You meet a lot of fun people. (Ah-hah.) You relax and have fun. It's a five-day party. (Great!)
Trip #3 is also interesting. It's to Manila for one week. (Mmm.) You do a lot of things.
You go to museums, you go shopping. The shopping is good. You go to beaches near Manila.
You go hiking in the mountains. And at night you can hear music, go to good restaurants, and walk around.

Where's home
Rob: Hi! My name's Rob. How's it going Ken: Hi! I'm Ken. Nice to meet you.
Rob: Are you from Vancouver
Ken: Well, I'm from Hong Kong, but I live near Vancouver now. I just started a new job here.
Rob: How do you like Vancouver
Ken: Umm. I like it. There are so many things to do: I like the concerts, the music. And the people are very friendly.
Rob: Yeah, I like all the parks, the stores, the people. There's always something happening.
Ken: Yeah. I like all that, too. But I don't like the place I live. It's a new condo near Stanley Park. I live alone, and it's just a little too quiet. Rob: Quiet is usually good.
Ken: Yeah, but I don't like to live alone. In Hong Kong I lived with my family in a big apartment. My parents, my grandparents, my sister and brother. It was noisy, it was busy, but it was home. We ate dinner together, we talked together. I miss that, especially the food. Now I know that my mother is a good cook!
Rob: It sounds to me like you're a little homesick. I know some good Chinese restaurants around here. Here, I'll write down a few names. It won't be the same as your mother's cooking but you can try them. Ken: Sure, thanks. Sounds good.

How are you feeling
Doctor: Welcome to \
today to help you with your health problems. Let's go to the first caller. Hello, you're on the air.
First Caller: Hello. My problem is sunburn. I fell asleep in the sun. Now I have a bad sunburn. Really bad. My skin is red and hot. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I feel terrible. What should I do
Doctor: For a bad sunburn, drink a lot of water. Stay in a cool, quiet room. Rest. And of course, don't go outside in the sun. Eat cool foods like ice cream and drink cold juice. Now on to our next caller.
Second Caller: My problem is I can't sleep at night. Every night I can't fall asleep. So... I'm always tired.
Doctor: If you can't sleep, don't take sleep medicine. It doesn't really help you. Instead, try to get some exercise every day. Swim, play tennis, dance ...perhaps take a walk. Secondly, don't drink a lot of alcohol or coffee. Especially coffee. It's loaded with caffeine that will keep you up. Third, try reading something very boring. A boring book can help you go right to sleep! Now to our next caller...

Mm, that's good!
Simon: Many people like to eat pizza, but do you know how to make it Today on \It's easy. It's fun. You can do it. To get started, check the list of
ingredients: You need water, sugar, yeast, olive oil, flour and salt. Now, first, you need to make the dough. To make it, you just mix everything together. Then, you have to cover the dough and wait one and a half hours. Now, the second step is the fun part. You make the dough into a big round circle. You push it and pull it and stretch it into a circle. The next step is the sauce. You spread some pizza sauce, some tomato sauce, onto the dough. Not a lot of sauce. Too much sauce and the dough gets too wet. Then you add cheese. Mozzarella cheese is good. Two cups of cheese is about right. Sprinkle it on top. Now you are ready to add the toppings. You can use slices of sausage, diced onion, pieces of green pepper, chopped mushrooms, shrimp, strips of chicken... whatever you like. Next, you bake it for about 20 minutes. Finally, the pizza is ready! If this doesn't work, don't worry. You can go out and get a slice of pizza with your friends!
