SUMMER PROGRAMME WELCOME Welcome to t he Summer Progr amme 2009
Come and join us for one or two weeks of relaxation and activity, learning and creativity, enjoyment and friendship – a holiday with a real difference. While many people attend as residents, staying in our superior student residences, you are equally welcome to attend on a daily basis. Wide choice of courses
The wide choice of courses includes arts, crafts, writing, music, walking, history, literature, sports, hobbies, languages and much more. There are many exciting new activities this year including North West Gourmet Tour, Parapsychology and Haunted Houses, Botanic Illustration, Walking the Wainwrights, Indian textiles – and more besides! Many of our courses, such as architecture, archaeology, ecology and the environment, and discovering the churches, will take you out and about in the area around Lancaster and the Lake District. Summer Evenings
It is not only your days which are filled with interest and activity on the Summer Programme – each evening a free programme of social activities is open to you. There will be plenty to do and plenty of choice. All social events are included in your course fee. All course participants are welcome to attend these events, whether or not you are staying on campus. Evening events include: Salsa dancing, wine tasting, African drumming workshop, country drive, debate, slideshow, concert, film, play reading, guided walks around historic Lancaster and amazing Morecambe, as well as along the canal to a nearby traditional pub. Fun for childr en and young people too!
Activities for children and young people combine action-packed days on campus with trips to local attractions. There is also a separately organised and supervised social programme for children and young people, so that you and your children can each enjoy your own interests during the evenings. We run it till 8.30pm for the under 11s and 10pm for those up to 14 years. The Lancaster Experience
Here at Lancaster we are renowned for the warmth of our welcome, the quality of the courses and the enthusiasm of the tutors. The welcome starts as soon as you arrive (including being transported from the railway station on Sunday or having your bags carried from your car). Summer Programme staff are always available to help, advise or deal with requests and problems. Nothing is too much trouble and each year customers commend the staff for their efficiency, courtesy and friendliness.

By using all the methods of transport available to us in a sensible manner we can help to reduce the congestion on our roads. We all know how easy it is to fall into the trap of using the car for every journey. The concept of message.
it has been developed by Lancashire County Council to reinforce the TravelWise
it is a programme that encourages people to make better use of cars and promotes the use of public transport, cycling and walking. Why not think before you use your car? For some journeys it may be essential to use a car. However for others, you might be able to use public transport, cycle or walk. Look out for advertising on the sides of local buses and on posters at bus shelters – ‘Take it more often!’ So keep your eyes open!
walk it Walking has many health benefits, and can also generate an overall feeling of well being, relax you and stimulate your thinking. In heavy traffic jams, the air quality inside a car can be poorer than outside. Car users suffer up to 3 times more pollution than pedestrians. Walking reduces traffic congestion. 25% of car trips are less than 2 miles and the majority of trips under one mile are on foot, but the proportion is gradually decreasing as more people take to their cars for short trips. The consequence is ever more local congestion, and ever more challenging conditions for walking. Join in with one of the lunchtime walks led by rangers from Lancaster County Council’s Countryside Service which will be happening every Tuesday. So why not take a break, take part and keep fit? See Be Part of It for further details.
share it “Lift sharing” “ride sharing” “car sharing” or “car pooling” – all come down to the same thing – two or more people sharing a car to get them from A to B rather than driving alone. The benefits are numerous both for yourself, your family, your community and the environm ent. Many companies in the area already encourage workers to car share – if everyone who drives on their own to work every day was to share a lift with someone just once a week, the commuting car journeys would be reduced by 25%.

bike it Staying healthy whilst leading a busy lifestyle helps you to maintain a healthy heart. On average an adult needs to do 30 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days per week, and less than 30% of us in the UK achieve this. Cycling to work or the shops is an excellent way to do this, as only a 15-minute journey (approx 3 miles or less) twice a day is enough. Cycling at about 10mph burns about 400 to 500 calories and will save you money that you would spend on petrol getting about or keeping fit at the gym. Lancaster makes an ideal base for a day’s cycling. Cycling helps you to keep fit, can save time by cutting through congested traffic, and is fun! If you haven’t cycled for a while, and want to get back on your bike, pay a visit to Cycle Point and hire a bike. Based in central Lancaster, at the heart of a network of off-road and on-road cycling routes, Cycle Point can provide support for the more experienced enthusiast. There are some great cycle ways from Lancaster to Morecambe, to the university and alongside the River Lune. Also, look out for Cycle Point “Budgie Bikes” scheme offering low cost cycle hire from selected outlets across the area. You can pick up a bike at one outlet and leave it at another. For further information about cycling contact one of Lancashire County Council’s cycling offices on 01772 534609. For bike hire, contact Cycle Point, Lancashire Station, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster. www.cyclepoint.co.uk or ring 01524 389410

eBAY TIPS FOR SELLING SUCCESSFULLY These are selling tips from eBay Inc., which is an American Internet company that manages eBay.com. They organize public sales in which the person who offers the highest price gets the item. Here is some advice to sell your stuff successfully. TEXT 0
By using the What’s It Worth? tool you will find useful information about your item such as the average selling price, average starting price, and volume of recently sold items. You can also find great information on pricing, features, and key words that attract buyers by browsing Completed Listings. TEXT 1 Getting that first bid is critical, as buyers are more likely to jump in if there are already bids on auction. Buyers may lose interest if they assume an item is overpriced. Many successful sellers set a low opening bid to jumpstart bidding and increase their final selling price. TEXT 2 Specifying reasonable shipping and handling costs in your listing is essential for smart selling. eBay's free Shipping Calculator provides real-time shipping costs to buyers all over the world, so you can increase your chances of success. Remember that a long wait can be both boring and frustrating for customers. TEXT 3 Maximizing your item title is a must if you want to sell your product. Be sure to include key words that buyers will search for, such as unique or descriptive attributes, and always check your spelling. Your item title is critical in helping users find your items, so use each character wisely. TEXT 4 A good description is concise, well organized, and easy to read. Create bold section headlines, bulleted lists, and be sure to include item style/type, brand, condition, and other attributes. Think about your listing from the buyer's perspective – the more information you provide, the more likely buyers are to place a bid. TEXT 5 A picture really is worth more than a thousand words! Use clear, well-lit photos from a variety of angles to accurately showcase your item. Use good lighting and an uncluttered background to get the most out of your photo. Add additional photos to showcase details and unique features of your item.

TEXT 6 Always respond quickly to any buyer questions. Include extras or a handwritten note in the box to really surprise and delight your customers. Make sure to leave feedback for your buyer so they’ll do the same for you. Successful communication is one of the keys to successful business. TEXT 7 After the sale make sure that you pay for shipping, print labels on your home printer, and schedule free carrier pick-up-all online and at no additional charge – so you can save money, time, and a trip to the post office! We make it easy for you, so please make it easy for us. Adapted from © e-Bay.Inc

TASK TWO (6 x 1 marks = 6 marks) Read the following text and choose the option (a, b or c) which fits best according to the text. Then write it in the corresponding white box of the questionnaire provided on the next page. Item 0 is an example.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD ROAD SIGN? Many road signs are bizarre when thought about logically. Just what is one meant to do if there is a danger of falling rocks? And if the road is slippery, will your car tyres really cross like the alarming skid marks seen on the sign? But even if some symbols do not stand up to scrutiny, they convey a message that is quickly recognised. Or at least, that's the hope. Out of 500 drivers surveyed last year, none was able to correctly identify 12 road signs and only one sign - the speed camera - was known to them all. A review of signs has been launched by the Department for Transport, looking at ways to reduce the number of signs and introduce more technology. So what makes a good sign? "The most important thing is that it works," says Michael Wolff, chairman of The Sign Design Society. Not only do modern drivers travel faster than before, they are also listening to the radio, chatting on their hands-free phone and trying to get children in the back under control. Distractions are everywhere. With so much competition for a driver's attention, a good sign must be clear and simple so that it can be seen, read and understood in an instant. The red no-entry sign is one that, even without words or pictures, conveys its message. But others don't. Many drivers are unable to recognise the "no stopping" sign. And former police driving instructor Chris Walker says the "give way to oncoming traffic" sign is hotly debated at driving school because it is illogical and takes too long to work out. The symbols on signs should not be interpreted too literally - the roadworks warning is often compared to a man opening an umbrella, while some of the most recognisable signs evoke memories of the premotoring age. A 19th century-style bellows camera is used, with great success, to warn of the imminent danger of racking up a speeding fine and rail enthusiasts' hearts must race at the symbol of a steam train before level crossings. "Symbols don't have to be accurate; they are there to convey an idea and be understood," Mr Wolff says. Some widely used signs have attracted criticism for being outdated. The image of stooped elderly people crossing a road has been branded as "insulting" by Help the Aged. It originates from a children's competition in 1981. Different colours provoke very different reactions in the human mind, says Dr David Cowell, who specialises in the psychology of colour. The brain is very sensitive to the level of energy in the light that passes through your eyes, with different colours of light carrying different amounts of energy. "Blue [the colour of motorway signage] suggests harmony and relaxation," says Dr Cowell. "It is the colour of nature in relaxed form. It encourages social communication and consideration of others." Orange and yellow "suggest a positive future", he says, the point being that the colour of signs surrounding roadworks is clearly meant to encourage frustrated drivers to think beyond the current delays. Different shaped signs also create different psychological reactions, suggests Dr Cowell. "A triangular sign has points and represents danger," which is why the shape is used for warning signs. "Rectangular signs are the same shape as a book and therefore give information. Round signs are instructional. They look like the end of a pointing finger giving you an instruction." While the fundamental design of the country's road signs has remained unchanged for almost half a century, the number of signs seems to be multiplying. Today British roads can seem crammed with symbols warning drivers of every foreseeable danger, from falling rocks to passing deer. As well as fuelling fears, the streetscape is being damaged, and the proliferation of signs reduces their

effectiveness. "Drivers now face a system overload," says Mr Walker. "Signs are duplicated, in some cases triplicated, leaving little time for the information to be seen and processed." Even the most well-designed road sign will be of little use if nobody can make it out. Adapted from © Dominic Koole, BBC News 2008
