Mum: I know, I know. Don’t worry, I’m changing your privacy settings.
Charlie: Privacy settings?
Mum: Yes. There are privacy settings on your social networking sites. Your account is totally public at
the moment, and you’re logged in!
Charlie: Oh. What are the privacy settings for?
Mum: To make you safe online. You want to be safe, don’t you? And for the right people to see your
information, not EVERYONE.
Charlie: Everyone?
Mum: Yes. If you don’t change your privacy settings, when you upload a photo, anyone can see it. It’s
important to change them so only your friends can see them. You don’t want everyone to see
everything, do you?
Charlie: No! But I can delete things, can’t I?
Mum: Well, you can, but it’s very difficult. Some things stay there forever.
Charlie: That’s really scary, Mum.

Audio script exercise 53
Host: At exam time it is important to sleep well. Today we have Doctor Baker with us in the studio
and he is going to give us five top tips for getting a good night’s sleep. Welcome to the show,
Doctor Baker.
Dr Baker: Thank you. It’s great to be here. Let’s start with tip one. Don’t go to bed with the
television on. Some people think they can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and lights mean
you don’t really sleep well, so turn it off! Tip two: Don’t think too much before bedtime. Do your
hardest homework earlier in the evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain is too busy and
full of ideas it takes longer to get to sleep. Tip three: Don’t play video games for an hour before
you go to sleep. They also make your brain too busy and active. Tip four: Turn off your cell phone
when you go to bed. What is so important that it can’t wait until the morning? If possible, leave
your phone in another room. Tip five: Play music if you like. But don’t play it too loud. Turn the
sound down low.
Host: Thank you, Doctor. That is very useful advice for our young listeners.
