1. What job did Alice do?
2. What difficulties did she have?

Script:
My name is Alice and I'd like to talk with you about my first job. After leaving school last year, I decided it would be a good idea to visit my relatives in Australia and improve my English. My uncle invited me to work in his shop, and thus I became a shop assistant. Of course I hadn't had any previous experience in this kind of job and I was a bit worried. Those days were the best training you can imagine. I really learnt a lot. If you are a shop assistant, dealing with customers is one of the most difficult things to do. I discovered that some people came to our shop not only to buy things but to talk with us. Now I think I can understand people's behaviour much better than before, and especially that of the elderly.
The most difficult thing is money. When you work for the first time you feel really strange about it. For about a month I kept making mistakes. But I was very lucky my uncle always helped me to get out of the trouble. I learnt a lot from him.
All in all, my first job was a very positive experience. I think I've become more tolerant and open, more serious and responsible. Even though I had a lot of work to do, I have also managed to become somehow relaxed and easy-going.
III. Let’s talk about Belarus.

I. 1. Read the magazine article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.
Be kind and stay safe
Everybody knows that we should be polite and kind to people in real life and online. Unfortunately this doesn’t always happen. Where can you report online abuse1 or unkind messages to yourself or your friends? Do you know how to report and complain about harmful information online? For example, if you see an inappropriate tweet on Twitter you can click on ‘more’ and then choose ‘Report tweet’. You can then block all further tweets from that user.
Even celebrities can be cyberbullied2. Tom Daley, the British Olympic diver, was abused online. His father died during the 2012 Olympic Games and Tom received some very cruel tweets about his indifference towards his father’s health.
Here are our top tips for staying safe online:
1. Be nice! Treat people online as you do in real life.
2. Don’t post anything online that you wouldn’t want people in real life to see.
3. Check your privacy and security settings on social media sites and keep them as private as possible. Make sure you know exactly who can see your posts.

4. Don’t ever post personal information like your home address, your email or your phone number.
5. If you see something online that worries or upsets you, tell an adult about it straight away.
6. Take part in Safer Internet Day.
Safer Internet Day, or SID for short, tries to help people to use the Internet correctly. SID started in 2004 and is organised in February every year in 74 countries around the world to promote safe and responsible use of online technology and mobile phones. Each year there is a different topic such as cyberbullying or social networking. The focus for SID’s next campaign is “Let’s create a better internet together”. SID organisers want children and young people, parents and teachers, as well as industry and politicians to work together to build a better internet for all of us, but particularly for children.
There are special lessons prepared for schoolchildren on Safer Internet Day in Britain. You can find out about SID on this website: http://www.saferinternet.org.uk/.
