HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT In February this year w:e carried out a housing needs survey of the Rural Development Area and

we should like to thank all those who took the time to fill in the postal questionnaires and those who agreed to the in-depth interview. We were delighted with the response rates with the best results obtained from the personal interviews: 585 households were approached and 85.5% were finally interviewed. With the questionnaires, 9 114 were posted and out of these 392% were returned As a basis for the survey we wanted to be able to describe the standard of housing in the area. Size, being an aspect of standard, was determined by the number of bedrooms and we found there were an equal number of two and three bedroom homes making up approximately 80% of the total; an equal number of four and one bedroom homes made up the rest. The distribution of the number of people in the households came out at a third with only one person as the occupier.· Clearly some single ho!Jseholders had homes with more than one bedroom. As expected the least number of homes were occupied by five or more people

per home. There were an equal number of households with three and four people living together. As well as describing the size of the home and the number of occupants, we needed to get a picture of the movement of householders and one indication Is ownership. A surprisingly large number of homes in the Area are owner-OCCUpied with occupiers who had paid off the cost of the house although more homes are in fact owner-occupied with some payments still to be made. This leaves the private tenant and those renting social housing with the former exceeding the latter by a · small margin. To establish both the type of household and the extent to which housing was substandard, we developed a points system in terms of overcrowding and state of repair: the higher the score, the more unsuitable and, in fact, the large majority of homes, just under 20 000, were found to be suitable with zero points. The worst cases scored over eight points but the Area had fewer than 2 000 of these. Of interest was

how those homes were distributed between the various types of occupancy and a pattern emerged with the largest percentage being those homes rented from the public sector. As expected, people who have finished buying their own homes are in the most suitable properties. Those renting have less incentive to upgrade their homes to make them of an acceptable standard.

should do before entering into a loan agreement and then write the ten key points in the Points to Remember summary opposite. Use no more than ten words for each point. There are many different types of credit available, but whether you decide to pay for a second-hand car with the dealers interest-free credit or a bank loan, or you want to use your store card to pay for a CD player, its worth considering several points before you sign on the dotted line. First youll need to find out the cheapest cash price of the goods by comparing the cost of the CD player with the cost of the same item in another shop. And while you are still at this relatively early stage of the purchasing process youd be well advised to ask yourself whether you really need the item now or whether you would be better off waiting till you are paid at the end of the month and buying it without involving credit. As you are beginning to appreciate, contrary to the glib exhortations of the advertisers, you need to do

some pretty clear thinking. Keeping a calculator handy might save you hundreds of pounds Before looking at some of the quite complex calculations you will need to make, be wary of over extending yourself by taking on more than one major credit purchase. at a time Fixed interest, APRs (Annual Percentage Rates), insurance cover, secured loans - these are terms that you should not let pass by without a clear understanding of what they really mean in practice. Insist on clear explanations and written examples of repayment schedules when negotiating credit. Some interest rates are fixed and some are flexible, depending on the (variable) bank base rate, so make sure you are fully aware of which is involved in the deal. If there is a choice and youre not sure, in general you should avoid uncertainty and go for the stability of a rate which doesnt fluctuate. Shop around for the best APR you can find - generally the lower the APR the better the deal. In a recent survey it was found thatthe

rates at one shop were double that of the neighbouring shop on identical products. Insurance is another factor you will need to consider before deciding where you will find the better deal. This will cover you against loss of earnings, should you be made redundant, and the insurance company will guarantee repayments while you remain unemployed. This may add a further two per cent to the cost of the item but you should seriously weigh up the considerable potential benefits of protecting yourself against this kind of eventuality. Security is a double-edged sword however and a secured loan might mean that if you cant keep up with repayments, the lender can sell.your home to cover any loss. Before committing yourself to any such loan, taking legal advice is imperative Happy shopping I EL-ESOL5 - 13- 70070 CONSUMER ADVISORY COUNCIL Ten points to remember before entering into a loan agreement. 2 3 4 5 6 •••••••••••••• .

Part two, part two. (Check that candidates have found Part 2) A big department store in your local town has advertised for temporary staff. You have been invited to a presentation in which the job is explained. Listen to the presentation and complete the table below You will hear the information twice. First look at the table (20 seconds) Ready? (Allow 10 seconds between each paragraph.) Ive asked you all along today to give you a short presentation of what the job involves, terms and conditions of employment and so on. Basically the job involves manning extra tills though officially you will be a sales assistant. As for the length of the contract, the summer sale season is only a fortnight but we need extra staff for a week before so you should be with us most of July, starting on the fifth. As you know, since the change in legislation regarding Sunday opening we are now open all days of the week. You will not be expected to work every day - we ask you to be available five shifts a

week This is a very busy time for us so wed certainly appreciate it if you were prepared to do a sixth shift, though working any more than that contravenes Department of Employment guidelines. Sorry, I forgot to mention that each shift is six hours. The standard rate for normal hours has been agreed with the unions. It currently stands at four pounds and forty pence per hour and overtime is paid at time and a half and as an employee of the company you are entitled to a 30% staff discount. Payment will be by cheque at the end of the final shift of the week, whatever day that might be. Its company policy to pay ln arrears, so you wont receive anything until the end of your second week but the balance owed to you will be paid in full on your last day of work with us. You will either be on the early or the late shift. In other words, we expect you to work a minimum of five mornings or five afternoon shifts. Everyone is obliged to work core days - Wednesday to Saturday that is - but the

fifth, or any extra shift, can be on any of the other three days you choose. All employees are provided with a complete uniform but you are obliged to provide your own footwear. As your main duties include operating the tills and answering customer queries, this will involve some training on your first day. You may however also be asked to lend a hand in the storeroom from time to time. Thats about all ! have to say but if you have any questions, fire away.

(Check that candidates have found Part 3) Listen to the following talk about symbols used for communication and complete the chart by drawing the symbols and noting their meanings. You will hear the information once only First look at the chart (10 seconds). Ready? (Read the fol/awing aloud once.) The traditional hobo or vagabond has become a relatively rare sight in

recent years. In an increasingly urbanised society we rarely see tramps, as they used to be called, roaming the countryside alone in search of the odd job or some nourishment to see them on their way. Though they normally travelled alone, they had a sophisticated communication system to help their colleagues. Dependent as they were on the generosity of those they called on, they devised a system of symbols with which they marked gate posts to indicate what could be expected at the house in question. A simple circle, for example, meant that there was nothing worth stopping for. In other words, it wasnt worth wasting time knocking on the door of this property. Something to eat and drink were probably the primary concern and many of the other signs were concerned with this. The outline of a bottle speaks for itself and a aossed circle suggested that the occupants may provide food. You have to remember that in those days the penalties for petty theft were very severe and being caught

helping yourself in the orchard could have meant several months in a prison. Receiving money was probably a rarer treat still and three circles in a row, like a line of coins, probably excited a lot of interest, though must have been extremely rare, bearing in mind the relative poverty of rural areas. Few people would have been so generous and a more common symbol would have been the circle with a dot in the middle, indicating a hostile reception. Hostility did not always come in human form, however - a W, which in fact looks very similar to a couple of fangs, was their equivalent of the Beware of the dog sign. Perhaps more frightening still for the humble hobo was the square with a central dot. This would have deterred all but the most desperate as the warning conveyed by this sign was that the owner may use force. What most of these vagrants would have been keeping an eye out for would have been the double triangle, one overlapping the other. Though the luxury of a bed for the night

would have been out of the question, there they could expect to be treated well. The best they might hope for would be a night in a barn but a bath would have been confined to the summer months and the proximity of a river. They undoubtedly led a hard life but they would often have picked up some seasonal jobs, at harvest time, for example, and three horizontal parallel lines would tell fellow travellers that temporary, though probably poorly paid, employment was available. When the lines were vertical, however, on a farm gate, for example, the reverse was true. (Wait 2 minutes and ten the candidates to finish writing.)

Off this corridor to the west are four rooms of equal size; all can be accessed from the corridor and are linked internally. The two middle rooms are the surgeries A and B, A being the most norther1y. Next to surgery A is the childrens clinic and the remaining room on this side is the X-ray department. The two surgeries have a west facing window: the childrens clinic and X-ray room have one on each external wall. Directly opposite surgery A is the entrance to another room of equal proportions which is the recovery room. A small corridor runs off the main corridor and along the northern wall of the recovery room Off this smaller corridor are three

small consulting rooms occupied by, as you tum into the corridor, Mr Thomas, Mr Cook, and Ms Todd respectively. All have a north facing window The only east facing window is in the recovery room. The buildings entrance is on the east side, south of the recovery room. As you enter you see a reception desk in the middle of the room. To the right of the entrance in the comer is the dispensary, and alongside the dispensary with an exit from the recovery room is the waiting area. Patients going in for treatment use the other door onto the main corridor.

nature of the teaching is inevitably different. There is far less pressure on the teacher of a group to be the source of all humour and all ideas. There are others to contribute to the overall atmosphere in their various ways. Sub-group and pair-work not only provides opportunities for creative language practice but takes the pressure off the teacher. But one-to-one can be fun Use different modes of learning to ensure variety: multi-media, concept cards, cards to make collocations and so on. The changing face of one-to-one teaching Many teachers trained in language teaching techniques for use with groups evenbJally find themselves teaching in a very different situation on one-to-one courses. Techniques used for groups are inappropriate. Its easy to assume that it lacks the variety and fun common to group teaching activities and is therefore a daunting experience. Certainly in a one-to-one situation you have no recourse to group dynamics. If there is a weaker or problem student,

there are other people in the group who can be used to Remember that there is more pressure on the student too in one-to-one and this can be exhausting. In a group, students have opportunities to relax and are not so intensively involved in every minute of the lesson. Recording and videoing the student can be helpful and encourages monitoring of his/her own performance. This can be done in a quiet, relaxed part of the session. alleviate the problem, but in some circumstances the very shy or self conscious student withdraws completely, and may well be better served learning alone with a sympathetic teacher. Kick off by finding out all you can about the student, feigning ignorance where necessary, about his/her field in order to assess the level of language. It is, as Peter Wilbery pointed out in his book, One-to-one, a more natural situation than the group format because in most everyday exchanges we communicate in one-to-one mode. Also it goes without saying that it is easier to

meet the needs of the student, there being only one to accommodate, and so lessons can be tailormade to suit the students individual requirements. Negotiate a syllabus with your student at the outset, although of course, as in all teaching, youll need to be adaptable and flexible. Encourage the student to bring in information specific to his/her company or field and discuss how you might use it. You will find that you cover far more ground doing one-to-one and this has its own pluses and minuses. On the one hand you are able to expose your student to more material but youve also got to plan and prepare it all! Be prepared to be adaptable, taking on the role of learner, with the student as the expert doing the teaching. Remember too that silence is not something to be dreaded or avoided. It is to be expected in reading and contemplation. C12 EL-ESOL5 -13- ONE-TO-ONE TEACHING POSITIVE ASPECTS NEGATIVE ASPECTS USEFUL TIPS C13 60159 -14- EL-ESOL 5 READING AND WRIVNG

Jacob Yarwood"• Flnal Gesture to Town Mr Jacob Yarwood, the towns well-known industrialist and philanthropist, who died ear1ier this year, has left the town £1m, it was revealed yesterday. Mr Yarwood, who made his fortune in pharmaceuticals, was a great lover of the arts as well as being actively involved in many of the sporting endeavours in our town over the past forty years. Having grown up in very humble surroundings, he was always keen to make sure that there were opportunities in all walks of life, for rich and poor alike. You are invited, on behalf of the trustees of his estate, to submit suggestions as to how this money could be best spent. - ----·Our Sports Hall is a total disgrace. It needs pulling down and

starting from scratch. Loving sport as he did, Im sure this is what Mr. Yarwood wouldve wanted For a town our size to have no Art Gallery has always seemed a great shame to me. The bequest would cover a modest annexe to the town library and would purchase enough pictures to begin a permanent exhibition. Local painters could also use the gallery.

You approach Muswell College through the play area and are struck by the down at heel, unkempt appearance of the playground with noticeable ruts and potholes in the tarmac. In contrast, as soon as you enter the College and go into the foyer and Reception Offices it is gratifying to see the smart decor

complemented by a variety of innovative art displays. There were a number of small quibbles to be made in respect of the classrooms, notably the worn blackboards and lack of storage facilities, but these were offset by the quality classroom furniture and general light, airy atmosphere in most of them. As far as the food provision areas were concerned there was a marked difference between where the food was prepared and where it was consumed. In the case of the latter, it couldnt be faulted: clean, well designed and arranged. The kitchens themselves, Im afraid, left a very great deal to be desired. Not least the fact that much of the equipment was both old and in need of servicing. All cloakroom, toilet and washroom facilities were only just up to scratch. Although overall the fire precautions were adequate, I recommend a visit by the Fire Officer to advise on updating the extinguisher and sprinkler systems. All three science laboratories have very recently been re-equipped and

thoroughly overhauled and the science department can be justifiably proud. The same cannot be said of the technology workshops which fell down on a number of counts. The most serious ones were in the woodwork room where the workbenches were not securely bolted to the floors. In addition the two electric saws had been inaccurately set The gymnasium, sports field, and sports facilities in general, were judged reasonable, considering the needs of the college, but they are in need of development in certain areas.

First look at the headings You will hear the information once only Ready? (Read the following aloud once,) If you fall ill or have an accident while abroad, it could

prove dangerous or even fatal. Good preplanning can pay dividends so do check that your immunisations are up to date and that you have any new ones you might need in good time. Some can make you feel pretty rough so dont leave it to the last minute. In addition, with some diseases, preventative medicines may need to be taken, as in the case of malaria, where the tablets need to be taken a week before travelling. It should go without saying, but do remember to check that your insurance covers you fully for all medical eventualities. The cost of medical fees in some countries is prohibitive and can clear you out of funds overnight. The last thing you want if you do fall ill is to have to worry about money. Be sure to have a full medical and dental check-up before you set off. The body takes a little while to adjust to new surroundings so help it. by not for example, bombarding the digestive system with a whole new array of bacteria to cope with. Use bottled water if you are unsure of the

safety of tap water or, alternatively, there are a number of portable filter systems you can consider, along with chemical purification tablets, which do the job but make the water taste rather foul. Whichever course you decide to follow, dont then wreck everything by having a nice long drink of juice with ice or a delicious chocolate ice-cream without remembering that these are water products too. With the depletion of the ozone layer, over-exposure to solar rays is dangerous so cover up with light cotton clothing if you are fair skinned and use high factor sunblock. If you are swimming check your creams are waterproof, particularly in the case of young children who tend to be unaware that theyre burning until its too late. For pale eyes sunglasses are vital Going back to clothing, especially if you intend to do a lot of hiking, try out any new footwear before you go, ensuring shoes are comfortable, dont rub and are aerated. If you are camping in the great outdoors, do your bit for

the environment by not polluting rivers and streams when you are washing or washing up and always use bio-degradable soap products. River water carries innumerable disease hazards which should be borne in mind whilst bathing. Obviously you need to carry a good first-aid kit, including a dental kit if you are to· be any distance from medical help, and your local pharmacist could advise you on these. IJlhatevers in it, be sure to include a safe, effective and long-lasting insect repellent, as anyone whos been a hungry mosquitos victim will fully endorse. Remember too that even tame-looking animals can give you a nasty bite So beware! Food is a problem. The prime rule is to eat it freshly cooked, thoroughly cooked, to avoid warmed-up dishes and anything that !oaks as though it mightve been exposed to flies. Your stomach will soon tell you if youve chosen wisely or not. I hope I havent put you off too much. The motto of all would be travellers is: Its much better to be safe than sorry.
