J --- John R --- Ruth
J: I did the Marathon, that‘s the London Marathon, last year and this year, those are the only Marathon I‘ve done. R: so you‘ve done it twice?
J: (I‘ve) done the London Marathon twice --- that‘s right! R: Wow --- how far is it?
J: It‘s 26 miles and a little bit more ---- I don‘t know exactly how many extra yards and by that stage I‘m not counting. R: well, wh-what do you do to prepare for it?
J: ah… in my case, I did a little bit more running than I normally do…. R: And what do you normally do?
J: Well, I go out running about once a week, for about an hour, and I only did a little bit more for the London Marathon than I
would normally do, so I was running a maximum of about 20 miles a week. I never did any more than that. R: And do you do keep fit exercises and things, or is it just running?
J: When I go out running I tend to get home and within a couple of minutes of getting home, I‘m out there --- on the streets --with no warming up exercises or anything. But it‘s best to do warming up exercises beforehand. I never seem to get round to doing them. R:Ha ! Why not? J: laziness, I think!
R: How did you feel at the start of the race?
J: I was still very worried about an injury to my , to my foot…. R: To your foot?
J: Well, actually to my ankle R: From running?
J: I hurt my ankle playing football about three days before. R: so you were quite nervous.
J: I was quite nervous. So I was nervous about my ankle and I was very concerned about making sure I kept up with the time that I hoped to run each mile during the race. And I was hoping to run each mile in round about seven minutes. Because the whole field moved very slowly at the start, the first mile marker went by and I‘d taken nine and a half minutes to run.
R: so you were going too slowly
J: so I was going too slowly. And I remembered then same thing happened last year when I did the Marathon. R: What was your …. in the race?
J: I didn‘t really feel in pain or worried until right at the end when I realized that I was unable to complete the last three miles of the race as fast as I‘d done the previous 23. R: So what was your final time?
J: my time was 2 hours and 47 minutes
R: that‘s pretty good, isn‘t it? That‘s quite fast!
J: it was certainly half an hour faster than the time I put up last year anyway! R: That‘s wonderful! Are you going to do it next year?
J: I tried to do it next year, but I’ve missed the qualifying date. R: so you haven‘t got a place.
26
J: I haven‘t got a place. But there‘s a running club I belong to, and they get one spare place. So all the runners who haven‘t got in, their names go into the hat and with any luck my name will be the lucky one. And in fact that‘s how I got into the London Can you remember your worst moment Marathon in the first place, it was really just a lucky chance last year. R: oh I see. Well, good luck with it then. J: Thank you very much, Ruth.

This year ,the world marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. There have been celebrations of the composer's work all year long.
On December 5 ,music houses around the world observed the anniversary of the composer's death
28
That music is from Mozart's Requiem ,a work the composer did not complete before his death. A Requiem is music written in honor of some- one who has died. Many people consider the music and its subject matter to add to the mystery surrounding Mozart's death. Could it be that the composer sensed his approaching death from fever and wrote Requiem in his own honor? There is no doubt ,however ,that the music of Mozart has more to do with life and happiness than with sadness or mystery.
Mozart wrote and performed music in the second half of the 18th century. During this period ,European musicians performed for kings , queens and other royalty. Musicians often depended on wealthy people called patrons to support them. Mozart ,along with his friend Joseph Haydn ,became the best example of the classical style-the important performance music of his time.Today ,people often use the word \by an orchestra.
Some music critics consider Symphony Twenty-Five in G Minor to be the first work showing Mozart's full ability. He was 17 when he wrote it. See what you think of this young man's skills.
The word \born in Salzburg , Austria ,in 1756.
Wolfgang was the last of seven children born to Leopold Mozart and Anna Maria Pert I.Five of the children died while babies. Only Wolfgang and his older sister ,Maria Ann a ,survived. Both were extremely gifted musicians from a very young age. The children traveled with their parents and performed across Europe.
Wolfgang's father was a well-known violin teacher.The year Wolf- gang was born ,Leopold published a popular book on violin playing. Soon Wolfgang started to show an unusual command of many instruments.
By the age of eight ,he played the piano-sometimes with his eyes covered. He also played the organ and violin very well. He showed an understanding of music of a much older person. Travel enriched the education of the young Mozart. His father worked in many of the great cities of 18th century Europe. The family visited London ,Munich ,Vienna ,Prague and Paris.
Mozart married Constanze Weber in the Austrian capital in 1782. He described his wife as having \sense and the kindest heart in the world. \Constanze had six children but only two survived. They were happy together ,although their life was sometimes difficult.
In Vienna ,Mozart wrote his greatest operas-musical plays performed with an orchestra. His works were performed in other cities as well. His Marriage of Figaro was so popular in Prague that he was asked to write an opera especially for a music house there.
The opera he composed was Don Giovanni,considered by many to be his best.The opera is based on the story of the lover and fighter ,Don Juan ,by the Spanish writer Tirso de Molina. In this scene ,the spirit of a man Don Giovanni had killed long ago returns to the world of the living to seize him and drag him down to hell.
Events have been held all over Europe and in the United States to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. Salzburg alone held about 500 events to celebrate the famous composer.Vienna spent about 60 million dollars in public and private money for its Mozart celebration.
In reality ,there is an ongoing Mozart celebration all the time. Mozart's music is performed around the world.
Mozart died on December 5 ,1791.He was only 35. He had composed more than 600 pieces of music. Some experts consider Mozart the greatest composer of all time
Near the end of his life ,Mozart composed the Forty-First Symphony. Af ter his death ,it came to be known as Jupiter ,possibly in praise of its style and expression. Critics consider it one of Mozart's truly great works and a beautiful expression of the classical style that he helped to define.

Whenever there's a Bank Holiday weekend in Britain ,a certain kind of shop always gets very busy ,and it' s not what you might think clothes shops or music shops. The British flock to DIY stores and garden centers and huge numbers of people spend their days off doing home improvements instead of relaxing!
Doing DIY is very popular in Britain ,and there are lots of TV programmers which show people how to improve their homes.
Some people stick to simple decorating-putting up wall-paper and painting walls. But there are all sorts of DIY projects that some people decide to take on ,from laying new flooring ,to plumbing ,such as putting in a new shower ,or tiling walls.
Unfortunately ,some people bite off more than they can chew ,and start doing a job which ends in DIY disaster.For example ,it' s recommended that anything electrical should be done by a qualified electrician , but many people ignore this
