Текст аудирования:
Presenter: Thank you for joining us. Tonight on the show we have Ian Marshall, one of our local lifeguards, here to tell us a little bit about his job. Ian, thanks for coming. Itaskm sure that most of us have a very good idea about what a lifeguard does, but can you give us a few more details?
Ian: Sure. Well, of course, as a lifeguard, I make sure that people are safe in and around the water. I patrol the beach, but other lifeguards are on duty at lakes and swimming pools. A lifeguard is a necessity on a busy beach because even strong swimmers can get into trouble.
Presenter: OK, so how did you become a lifeguard, Ian?
Ian: Well, actually, it was quite difficult. I had to take some courses including advanced first aid and beach management and then I had to complete various different fitness and skills tests. Even now, I take different courses to improve my skills. This year Itaskm hoping to take a course in powerboat driving.
Presenter: And whattasks a typical day like for you?
Ian: Well, between October and March, Itaskm on patrol from 6 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. Thattasks OK with me - I actually really like early mornings! Daily duties include rescuing when necessary, of course, checking all the equipment and keeping swimmers aware of any dangers. Our main duty though is to observe the beach and the swimming area to make sure everyone is obeying the beach rules in order to prevent accidents and emergencies. Theretasks a lot of paperwork to do, too. This is probably my least favourite part of the job, but ittasks very important.
Presenter: You mentioned equipment. What kind of equipment do you use?
Ian: Well, we have a boat for accidents out at sea, but we also use horns, loudspeakers and even the simple whistle to get peopletasks attention. In fact, the whistle is probably the most important piece of equipment I use because I have it with me all the time and ittasks very effective at getting peopletasks attention. Theretasks also a radio to get in touch with other lifeguards and the emergency services. Ittasks not very high-tech, I know, although I recently heard about some research that scientists are doing. They want to electronically tag sharks, so when they get near the shore, we get an SMS warning on our mobile phones.
Presenter: Really? While wetaskre on the subject of sharks, just how dangerous are they to swimmers off the coast of Australia?
Ian: Well, in the past 10 years, sharks have killed about 10 people and attacked about ten others in Western Australia, but we shouldntaskt just focus on sharks. There are many other dangers such as the box jellyfish, which is one of the most poisonous creatures in the sea, especially as ittasks almost invisible to swimmers. Actually, another important part of our training is looking out for dangerous creatures and giving first aid treatment if someone gets, for instance, a jellyfish sting. The first thing we do with a sting is to pour vinegar on it! We also try to educate swimmers about the risks. A little knowledge can save a lot of lives.
Presenter: Interesting, Ian. Well, ittasks been fantastic having you on the show. Tune in next week, listeners, when we have a real-life storm chaser in the studio. Until then, good night and have a great week.

1) Chilling Out
The freezing cold has no effect on Wim Hof. Also known as the “Iceman”, Wim Hof climbed Mount Everest wearing only a pair of shorts in temperatures that can kill an ordinary person. He holds an incredible nine world records and often appears in various countries up to his neck in ice. Scientists can’t explain Hofs superhuman ability to put up with below-zero temperatures, but believe it may be due to his skill at meditation. When most people face extreme cold, the blood in their bodies moves away from their fingers and toes to protect their inner organs. After years of meditating, Wim has complete control over his blood flow and can keep it moving to all parts of his body, no matter how cold it gets.
2) Making Dangerous Friends
South African animal behaviourist Kevin Richardson first made friends with some lion cubs 12 years ago at a lion park, and now he is playing with, cuddling and even falling asleep next to lions! He says he can do this because he tries to know each animaltasks personality and develop understanding with them. Now Richardson, known as taskThe lion whisperertask, cares for 39 lions on his 1,800-acre wildlife reserve. Kevin uses his fame to raise awareness about lions under threat in the wild. "Numbers have dropped by up to 75% in the past decade," he says.
Kevin also made a film using members of his adopted family called White Lion: Home is a Journey.
3) Finding it Easy
32-year-old Daniel Tammet can solve the most difficult math problems in the time it takes most of us to remember where we put our calculator! He has an incredible mental ability to count and calculate. He doesn’t see numbers in his head, though, he sees shapes. “When I multiply, I see two shapes. The image starts to change and a third shape appears. That’s the answer.” Daniel is an autistic savant* who has broken records with his unbelievable memory. Daniel can also speak 10 languages and learned Icelandic in just one week! In 2007, he also wrote his autobiography, Bom on a Blue Day.
* autistic savant – somebody with a mental condition that prevents them from communicating well, but has a highly-developed talent in another area e.g., painting, calculating
