New Diet

Peter: Okay Mary, I know I’m putting on weight with all my bad eating habits.
Mary: That’s right. Chocolate bars, pizzas, and all washed down with litres of soft drink. And with
all the sugar in soft drink, I think we can say you’re definitely overindulging, don’t you think?
Peter: I know, I know. I intend to definitely stop drinking that from now on.
Mary: And that’s part of the sensible eating plan that we have agreed we need to formulate—one
that we can both follow.
Peter: That’s right, sensible, and practical — allowing us to indulge in some sweet foods on
occasions.
Mary: On rare occasions, and we’re going to cut out all the pizzas and hamburgers.
Peter: Well, not totally. I thought you said pizzas could be eaten once a week. You know how I like
pizzas.
Mary: No. I said once every two months. Once a week was ice cream, not pizza.
Peter: Yeah, that’s because you like ice cream. I prefer pizza.
Mary: Peter, if you want to lose weight, you need to be disciplined, in both what you eat, and what
you do, which brings us to the issue of exercise.
Peter: That’s right. So, jogging twice a week, and hiking on Saturdays, right?
Mary: No, hiking is Sundays, allowing Saturdays for the light walking exercise. I’ve investigated,
and discovered there are a lot of walking trails around this suburb, with many beautiful
places if you just look around.
Peter: So what’s happening this Saturday? A walk around the city?
Mary: That’s later in the month. This Saturday we’ll visit Pine Park.
Peter: Hill Park is nicer, with great views, too.
Mary: Yes, but we have to travel too far to reach Hill Park, so I ruled that out, and I love the smell of
pines.
Peter: And what about the weekday meals? Salads every night, I suppose?
Mary: No, it’s important to vary the meals so that the food remains interesting and fun. The only
common factor is the fruit juice, but otherwise we’ll have a variety of healthy fare, from
salads, to fish, to lean meat.
Peter: I'd rather have meat every night, but you’re the boss.
Mary: If you want to lose weight, you’ll have to accept this program, okay?
Peter: Okay.
Peter: Now Mary, you said we could have a little treat in our diet plan three times a week:
specifically, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Mary: Yes. A very small treat, but something to reward us for all the discipline shown. Such
rewards will motivate us to continue the diet.
Peter: So, on Tuesdays, what can I choose?
Mary: You have a choice between a small serving of chocolate, ice cream, or biscuits.
Peter: Okay, well, I’ll go for the biscuits. I love those crunchy little things with my cup of tea. So do
you, right?
Mary: I do indeed, so I’ll have them, too, saving the ice cream for later.
Peter: But I know how much you like ice cream, so why don’t you save it for the end of the week?
That will give you the motivation to keep going, and you can have chocolate midweek?
Mary: That’s a good idea, but I think the most important thing is for you and I to eat different things
on those other two days.
Peter: Well, if you think that way, I’ll eat the ice cream on Thursdays, not the chocolate. Okay?
Mary: Well, if you’re having that, then I can’t have ice cream. In order to be different, I’ll have the
chocolate.
Peter: So, we can compare our different snacks, and maybe even share a little with each other.
Mary: Exactly! And the variety and fun involved will take our minds of wanting more.
Peter: Eating for fun! A good idea!
Mary: And then you can have the chocolate on Sunday, right?
Peter: But I like biscuits? Actually, I want biscuits again—to have with my cup of tea.
Mary: But you have the biscuits on Monday, remember, and we can’t repeat.
Peter: Ah come on! This isn’t fixed in concrete. I can have them again instead of chocolate. You
might like variety, but I don’t. I’m a creature of habit.
Mary: Well, the whole point of this was to taste different snacks, but if you want the same thing,
okay. I, for one, am sticking to the original plan, with ice cream to finish the week, and not
another dose of chocolate.

Advantages Of Stanfield Childcare Centre

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Staneld Childcare Centre. Now I know you're all new mothers, and
you like to cling to your children. You’ve certainly spent a lot of time raising them to the age of four and
are perhaps reluctant to leave them here at our centre.
Well, one of the rst things you should understand is that here it is safe — very safe. Look around and
you'll see that every room has padded walls. Other centres have standard painted walls, but here, we have
invested a lot to ensure your children will not hurt themselves when running around and possibly tripping
over.
This padding extends around all corners — that is, the areas most likely to bruise and cut your active little
child. So, you can rest assured that any accidents of a physical nature are not likely to happen here.
Now, you don't want to dump your child at this centre and let them waste their time. You want them to
learn, and that’s one of the greatest assets of our establishment.
Our sta are not only trained childcare workers, but all of them have a special skill, which they can imparl
to your child, whether it be teaching the ABC, some basic mathematics, artistic skills, or physical
education. We are particularly known for our pre-school literacy program and have a wealth of learning
toys, specially designed to develop your child's potential.
Of course, one concern many mothers have is that, in environments such as these, colds and us and
other viral nasties can be easily spread around. It’s a very legitimate concern, and one which we take
seriously, and we pride ourselves on our precautions.
For a start, unlike most centres which clean with standard detergents, we disinfect every surface at the
end of every day, using a special disinfectant wash. Some places just wipe surfaces daily with a damp
cloth, but not us. And that’s just the start.
We also physically check your children when they arrive every day, and if we feel your child is sick, we ask
him or her to wear a face mask to ensure germs are not transmitted.
If your child is noticeably sick, then we ask you to take them back home to recover. This might sound a
little unkind, but we hope parents can understand that these measures are for the benefit of all.
Now, at Staneld Childcare Centre we have excellent childcare ocers, and let me briey introduce them.
We have Susan, Andrea, Bella, Cathy, Lisa, and Liz. They’re all fully trained and come with some individual
assets which make them even better.
Bella, for instance, knows children very well, having worked here for five years, and Cathy has her own
family — two little girls — so she can talk to you with rst-hand knowledge of what it’s really like to raise
children.
But getting back to Bella, she often relaxes here after work, spending long hours chatting to parents, as
does Cathy in fact. But in terms of hours, nothing can compare to Andrea, who will sometimes spend the
night here, staying in our overnight room.
Why? Because this centre is very friendly, and simply a great place to be. Bella, for example, used to be
quite shy herself but now is marvelous with the little kiddies, as outgoing as any of them.
We let Cathy, though, deal with the particularly quiet and introverted children, since having her own
family, she knows what can really bring them out.
Of course, what better way to do this than with yummie homemade cakes, and Cathy often gets these
from Bella, who can make some of the best in town. Yes, everyone here brings something special, which is
why we’re one of the best childcare centres in the business.

Foundation For Essay Writing

Eric: Hi, Ms Harris. Here we are, talking once again.
Ms Harris: Well, I’m always willing to help out wherever possible. Is anything troubling you?
Eric: Well, your advice last week about writing summaries was very useful, and I’m using these
summaries a lot in order to prepare my final master’s thesis.
Ms Harris: But you’re having problems, right?
Eric: Yes, I have a few issues to discuss. Obviously I want a good essay, and I want to achieve
high marks. But I’m not sure on the best way to start.
Ms Harris: That’s an easy question. Start with a topic, but not one that I necessarily suggest, but one
that you want to explore. You will always write better when doing so on a topic you are
interested in, not one imposed upon you by others.
Eric: Well, I’m interested in management theory.
Ms Harris: Then pursue that. However, that alone is far too broad. Break it into various current areas of
discussion and relevance, then look more carefully at one of them — say, management and
cultural differences, or management and motivation, or other aspects, such as the role of
salary, group cohesion, or leadership.
Eric: I would say I’m interested in group cohesion—that is, how people interact in the workplace.
Ms Harris: Well, that’s a start, but you can’t then just write planlessly, without defining exactly what you
intend to do within the area you’ve chosen. You’ll have to think of a thesis, and this
statement could be of several types.
Eric: Such as what?
Ms Harris: Oh, you could argue a point, something that you believe in; or discuss an issue, looking at its
various perspectives; or critique the opinions of others, pointing out the pitfalls and flaws.
The thesis statement will make that very clear because it will say, in simple terms, what you
intend to achieve in your essay.
Eric: I see. And then I can just begin writing, right?
Ms Harris: Wrong! [Uh?] If your essay is going to be clear, it needs to be logical and organised, and this
means you’ll need an outline. This could be written as a flowchart, or spider graph — that is,
a series of connected lines, but whatever shape the outline takes, there must be a sense of
progress, in, more or less, a straight line, towards a goal.
Eric: And then my essay will be good?
Ms Harris: With such progression, definitely—as long as you do achieve everything that you set out to
do, as specified in the beginning, okay?
Eric: Well, Ms Harris, your advice about essay writing all sounds very useful: solid, and step by
step, so I’ll certainly follow that. But can you tell me in more general terms, what constitutes
the best essay?
Ms Harris: Oh, there are many aspects to consider, but one of the most important is certainly, original
thinking. The best essays are written by people who think for themselves, and not just copy
or imitate established views.
Eric: I think I can do that.
Ms Harris: But remember, you can’t just give a list of unsupported assertions. There needs to be
support as well — a chain of logic linking each step in your argument. [Right] Yet that alone
is not enough. Your argument may be logically sound, but is it practically so? For that, you
need examples, from real-life, to illustrate your points or sub-points.
Eric: I’ve got lots of examples from my course readings. I suppose I could use them.
Ms Harris: But remember, whenever you use an example, or facts or figures that are not commonly
known, you must give a reference. That’s an academic necessity, without which your writing
will automatically fail.
Eric: So, it’s necessary to give these. Right.
Ms Harris: Absolutely—and with that, your essay will be fine, but always ensure that you format it
clearly.
Eric: What do you mean?
Ms Harris: I mean the practical considerations, as written in the university style guide, such as leaving
appropriate margins, using double spacing, Arial font, and so on. You see, your writing must
look good, as well as be good.
Eric: I can certainly do that.
Ms Harris: And, finally, related to the previous point, you need to respect the number of words required.
Your individual lecturers will give you a word-count figure, so follow what they say, making
your essay neither too long, nor too short— perhaps 10% either way should be acceptable.
15% was common when I was younger, but it’s a lot stricter now, and 20% would be pushing
the boundaries just a little too far.
Eric: I guess I can do all that. Thanks for your advice.

Geocentrism Vs Heliocentrism

In the night sky, the stars appear to revolve around the Earth, rising in the east, and disappearing in the
west. The Earth itself seems solid, fixed, and stable, and such common sense perception suggests that
the Earth is the centre of the universe.
This is known as ‘geo’ ‘centrism’, with geo meaning Earth, and all pre-modern civilisations drew this
conclusion. We now know, of course, that the Earth revolves around the sun, and this is called ‘helio’
‘centrism’, with helio meaning sun, but historically, it took quite a while for this to be deduced.
As early as the third century BC, an ancient Greek astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos, proposed
heliocentrism, but received little support from his peers. Similarly, throughout subsequent history, isolated
individuals proposed this new idea, but again, no one was listening.
Geocentrism just seemed too logical to refute. Geocentrism also fitted the views of the established
Christian church, who could quote biblical passages such as ‘the world also shall be stable, that it be not
moved’. Those who dared disagree were subject to accusations of heresy, often with dire punishments to
follow.
The trouble was, as the night sky was observed more closely, that simple revolution of the stars proved
not so simple at all. In relation to the others stars, some steadily wandered in given directions, then
sometimes reversed for months, and disappeared altogether.
They were called planets, meaning ‘wanderers’. In addition, the position of the sun and moon altered
slightly over the year, and comets, those mysterious glowing spots, would come and go.
In order to predict the motion of the planets, and accurately serve the primary purpose of navigation for
sailing ships, increasingly elaborate mathematical models were needed—a sure sign that something was
not quite right.
Heliocentrism, or the belief that the sun is the centre of the solar system, still needed a
mathemalically-sound
description before it could be scientifically accepted, and it was a Polish astronomer, Nicolaus
Copernicus, who, in 1543, first published this.
This event is sometimes referred to as the Copernican revolution. Copernicus himself certainly feared the
consequences of his proof, knowing full well it might invoke the anger of the established church. Probably
for this reason, he wailed until the last year of his life, when he was sick and dying, to release his findings.
In addition, the preface of the book, written by a respected member of the church, staled that the model
was not necessarily correct. As a result of this, there was no ‘revolution" whatsoever—in fact, the book
received scant attention in the subsequent decades, apart from a few irate clergy men who angrily
dismissed the whole scheme as irrelevant.
Yet the following generations of astronomers did not always fare so well. The Italian scientist, Galileo, got
into trouble, as did a fellow Italian, with the surname Bruno, Giordono Bruno, who was burnt at the stake,
yet ultimately, nothing could slow the spread of heliocentrism across Europe.
It formed the basis of lsaac Newton's great work on the motion of the planets — a work which implied that
even the sun. around which the Earth circled, was itself in motion around a common centre of gravity.
No discourse about heliocentrism could finish without mentioning that, somewhat unbelievably, there still
exists those today who choose to believe that the Earth is the centre of the universe. Modern
geocentrism is usually the result of literal interpretations of the Bible, which is the cornerstone of these
people's beliefs.
They, therefore, also believe in creationism -- that is, that a God created everything, and while we may
smile at this, it is sobering to consider that surveys have revealed that up to 10% of British people,12% of
Europeans. 20% of the ESA, and 25% of the Middle East, still hold the belief that the sun revolves around
the Earth. One can only wonder what Copernicus would have thought of this.
