Mobile Phones
Early in the 1990s mobile phones started to become available in many countries around the world. They were very expensive at the beginning but now you can get them for free if you sign up for a mobile phone plan with any of the available telecommunication companies in your country. They made life easier and many people liked to have them.
When they first started to invade our lives, some scientists warned us against the harms that they cause to our brains. Others said that they were 100% safe to use. Anyhow, people kept buying them. A new item for household budget was added. It was to pay for mobile phones for members of the family.
Now there are hundreds of models to choose from. There are top-selling models that attract young people and there are simple ones like the one I am using. Some people like to change their mobiles and get the latest ones on the market when they start to come out. This means more money to spend because mobile phones are usually very expensive when they first come out. Prices drop after some time of course.
There are many things you can do on your mobile depending on which model you are using. Now it is possible to surf the net while you are travelling thanks to the new internet technology available for us now. You can also download MP3 music and songs and listen to them on the go. You can watch football matches on your mobile screen if you want to but be careful because you can pay for your download. One person was asked to pay more than 20,000 dollars because he downloaded an episode of his favourite TV show and didn’t know he was using heaps of download.
The bad side of mobile phones is that they can cost a lot of money to keep. People can pay a lot of money to their telephone companies to keep using their mobile phones. Mobile phones also get lost easily because of their small sizes. In some countries muggers can stop you in the street and steal your mobile phone because in these countries mobile phones are expensive.
Mobile phone companies try to attract new customers with new TV advertisements and get them to sign up for mobile phone plans. They sometimes offer discounts to customers if they buy two mobile phones together. These companies also offer them new features that keep coming every day. Now we have touch screen mobile phones and those that can be used to play games. There are mobile phones that can have many programs on them and be used like a computer to send and receive email messages and do other things too.

What is Bullying?
I was surfing the net and found this web page on bullying. If you don't know what bullying is, now is the time to learn it. It is not very common in high schools in Australia but some young boys and girls end up taking their lives because of bullying. They see that they are under extreme pressure and decide to end their lives. I think the problem of bullying can be solved through education but it will take a lot of effort and we all have to teach our children about it.

Sam's New Car
Sam is an 18 year-old young man who lives in one of the finest suburbs in Melbourne. His father is a wealthy businessman and he bought him a brand-new car.
Sam was allowed to get a license after passing a driving test. His father always talked to him about safe driving and he paid for Sam to get driving lessons.
Before Sam started driving his car, his father gave him some advice. He told Sam not to drive fast and watch out for changing traffic conditions. He also wrote a list of things that Sam had to be careful about. These things included the following:
- Always carry your license with you when you drive.
- Put your seatbelt on when you drive your car. You can have a fine if you don’t have your seatbelt on.
- Don’t drive when you are very tired or sleepy. This can make you lose control of your car and end up having a crash.
- Don’t tailgate (drive too close to the car in front). Leave a distance between your car and the one in front of you. If the driver in the other car slams on his breaks hard, you will have enough time to stop your car and avoid having an accident.
- If you have a bus or a truck in front of you, leave a distance and be careful when you change lanes.
- Be mindful of other people. Stop your car when pedestrians start to cross the road.
- There are radars to force people to follow the speed rules. You can pay a lot of money in fines if you drive over the speed limit.
- Don’t take part in a drag race. Don’t let any of your friends challenge you to drive fast. There is a big chance that you will end up having a crash for a stupid reason.
- Pay extra attention when you reverse your car. It is not easy to see what is behind and you can hit a pedestrian or another car that is behind you.
- NEVER drive when you are under the influence of alcohol. Don't be in the same car with someone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This can be fatal. You can lose your life because of alcohol or drugs.
- If you have a car accident, stop and offer help to anyone hurt. Don’t leave the scene if there is anyone hurt. Call an ambulance if you think you need to. Give your license details to the other person and take his or her details to give to your insurance company.
- Remember not to leave your car keys inside the car when you lock the doors.
- If you feel unsafe inside your car, lock the doors and if there is anyone shouting at you, don’t answer the person back and avoid eye contact with him or her. Keep your mobile phone handy in case you need to call the police.
- Don’t use your mobile while driving. This will distract you. The person calling can always leave a message and you can check the message later on.
- Keep your car always clean. Don’t treat it as a rubbish bin. I’ve paid a lot of money for it. I don’t have a money printing machine at home so you can waste a lot of money. Have mercy for your old man.
- Always have car insurance. You will never know what is going to happen. A car insurance will give you peace of mind.
- Don’t allow people to smoke in your car. It will make the smell bad inside and it will not also be clean.

TV Program Classification
In Australia some people who come to live here may find TV programs different from the ones they used to watch in their own countries. Before a program or a movie is shown, a warning appears to tell people what sort of program or movie it will be. Young children can watch many films and programs that have a “G” rating. A “G” rating means that the content in the program or movie is for general viewing. This means that they are suitable for anyone to watch.
Other programs, especially those who are shown at or after 8.30 at night, are not suitable for young children to watch. That’s why they have a different rating.
Some programs have a “PG” rating. This means that parental guidance is required. It is good for a mature person to be next to a young child if that child wants to watch a program that is rated as “PG”.
Programs that have a classification “M” can be watched by mature adults who are 18 years of age or more. These programs and movies are not suitable for young children to watch because they may contain adult themes, drug use, horror, sex scenes, coarse language or violence. These programs are shown at night to reduce the chance that children will watch them.
A program that is classified as MA 15+ is definitely not for young children. It can contain many things that are not appropriate for them to watch.
The warnings can be seen before a program or movie is shown. They can also be found in the TV guide sections in different newspapers.
In the Aboriginal culture it is not appropriate to say the name of a person that has died. It is offensive if you do so. That is why there are special warnings for Aboriginals before certain programs are shown. A warning may say that the program will contain the voices or images of people who have died. People who live in Papua New Guinea also believe the same about people who have died because their culture is similar to the Aboriginal culture.
In some countries, especially those in the Middle East, local and national TV stations are not allowed to show sex scenes or images of naked people. Many TV presenters, football players and film stars there are often looked at as role models for the young.

These programs and movies are not suitable for young children to watch because they may contain adult themes, drug use, horror, sex ......................, coarse language or violence. These programs are shown at night to reduce the chance that children will watch them. A program that is classified as MA 15+ is definitely not for young children. It can contain many things that are not appropriate for them to watch. The warnings can be seen before a program or movie is shown. They can also be found in the TV guide sections in .........................newspapers. In the Aboriginal culture it is not appropriate to say the name of a person that has died. It is offensive if you do so. That is why there are special warnings for Aboriginals before certain programs are shown. A warning may say that the program will contain the ..................or images of people who ................died. People who live in Papua New Guinea also believe the same about people who have died because their culture is similar to the Aboriginal culture. In some countries, especially those in the Middle East, local and national TV stations are not allowed to show sex scenes or images of naked ......................... Many TV presenters, football players and film stars there are often looked at as role models for the young.
