graduates Speaker 2 I ll do that Speaker 1 One other thing Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor they re quite romantic about it but there are other departments marketing sales and the production side Don t dismiss those Speaker 2 Thanks for the advice it s very helpful But it s literary editing that I want to do Speaker 1 Well I wish you the best Let me know how you get on And good

one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century The Airbus A380 is the world s biggest commercial aircraft New technologies were used in the design engineering and manufacture of this amazing superjumbo The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane Parts of the main body are built in Germany Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material They are much lighter than aluminum and steel Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain Finally some sections are built in France so Airbus has its own factories in Britain France Germany and Spain One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions The engines were developed by Rolls Royce at Derby in Britain Finally pilots have to learn to fly the plane This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology Now for the moment of truth with 154 planes ordered by the world s airlines the big question was Will it fly at all On the day of the first flight thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time They were not disappointed The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned Topics mentioned are 1 3 5 6 and 8 2 1 France 2 China 3 Britain 4 Spain Germany Britain France 5 Canada 6 Britain 7 France 3 1 d 2 B 3 B 4 A 4 C

lives are changing our very idea of who we are In other words they are changing our identity And this she thinks is a very dangerous thing I m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital Let s begin at the beginning Brian how do brains work Brian Well a brain is a mass of neurons and these neurons make connections with each other billions of connections and store information We all have basically the same brain structure It s what we do with our brain that makes the difference We take in information The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it So to some extent it s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are and that s what we call our identity Jane And if I can come in here children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent also on the web and on mobile phones And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing chang
