W: Welcome to our program, Nick. M: Thank you.
W: It's found that the number of people who are suffering from stress in the UK is increasing.
M: Yes, that is true. It seems that the economic problems we are all facing are mainly to blame.
W: What do you mean by that? I guess it's the high prices of things like food and petrol that's worrying people?
M: Well not just that. It's stress in the workplace that is the biggest issue. Some reports said that the stress becomes the number one cause of long-term workplace absence. Half of the UK's public sector companies have reported a rise in employee absence caused by stress.
W: That's interesting because jobs in the public sector are traditionally seen as more stable and secure than those in the private sector.
M: Yes it's surprising. Public sector jobs, such as civil servants and teachers, were seen as jobs-for-life but perhaps that's not the case anymore. It's a worrying time.
W: So how exactly is the poor economic situation affecting the workplace? M: Things like cutting the number of staff, which lead to increased workloads for others, and the security of the job, cause the increase in mental health problems.
W: So what can be done to reduce this stressful situation?
M: Well some companies are offering counseling services. And they suggest the employees exercise regularly in a gym, listen to some classic music, and learn to say \W: I see. Thank you, Nick. M: Thank you.

W: Hi, Will. Do you want to join us seeing the stars in my apartment tomorrow night?
M: What kind of a view of the stars do you get from your house? W: Well, it's actually not too bad on a clear night.
M: I don't often see the stars where I live, but perhaps this is because I live closer to the centre of London than you. So there's probably less light pollution where you live.
W: Well it is true that the best places to see stars are the darkest places on the planet, like deserts and mountain tops and that's where you see those pictures of powerful telescopes.
M: Yes, in certain locations around the world you can get a really clear view of thousands of twinkling stars, some planets and sometimes the odd satellite moving across the sky.
W: It seems that you are an expert in Astronomy.
M: If you really want to view stars in a better place, I suggest we go to the Dark Sky Reserve.
W: Dark Sky Reserve?
M: Yes, it is one of the UK's darkest spots. There will be strict controls on things like street lights to reduce light pollution and keep the night truly dark. When it's dark we can see as many as 2,500 stars whereas in a city we might be lucky to see 200.
W: That sounds wonderful. I will inform my friends about this, and can we meet at the gate of our school at 8 so that you can take us there? M: No problem.
