By:Liu Chaoying,Listening,Before listening,discuss with a partner what is happening in each of the photographs below.,1,Surf lifesaving clubs are popular all over Australia.They were originally formed to provide a rescue service for swimmers who get into danger on beaches.The clubs are voluntary organizations whose members patrol the beaches for free.As well as carrying out lifeguard duties,the clubs hold many social events and competitions related,Background information,to the beach and swimming.Children between 7 and 15 can join as junior members,called nippers.The club provides activities for junior members at weekends and in the holidays.They receive training in lifesaving as well as taking part in healthy exercise at the beach.As much of Australias coastline can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers,surf lifesavers determine the safest place for people,to swim and place flags on the beach to show people where it is safe.Bathers are encouraged to“swim between the flags”.Businesses and the community in general raise money or donate equipment such as boats and canoes,sun shelters,lifesaving equipment and flags.On weekends,when the volunteer lifesavers are at work,some town councils pay lifeguards to patrol the most popular beaches.,Several times during the summer,surf lifesaving clubs hold carnivals at which they display their lifesaving skills and hold competitions between different clubs.Each club has a different uniform,consisting of a swimming costume and a T-shirt.Lifesavers also wear caps in their club colors so that they can be easily identified when they are in the water.,Listening Text,Carol(C)and Ross(R)both go to university in England.They meet up after lectures one day and decide to go for coffee.,R:Ooh.Thats better.It was

beach.I go down there most evenings to surf.C:Oh,so you surf,do you?R:Yeah.Ive been surfing since I was a nipper.C:A what?R:Oh,sorry.Thats what we call junior lifesavers back home.,C:(laughs)Hang on.Whats a junior lifesaver?R:Well,you know how we have lifesavers on all our popular beaches?C:No,I didnt know that.It must cost the government a lot of money to put lifesavers on so many beaches.,R:No.They are all volunteers.Its like a sports club.They train to save lives and when they arent watching over the people on the beach they have all sorts of competitions with other clubs.C:Like what?,R:Well,they have surf lifeboats that they go out to rescue people and at carnivals,they race with boats from other clubs.And then there are ironmen and women competitions.C:I have seen them on television.Its three races,isnt it?A swim,a foot race and a race paddling a canoe or a surfboard.,R:Yes thats right.Surf lifesaving clubs also have lots of other competitions and social events.C:So nippers are the young surf lifesavers?R:Yeah.Theyre between 7 and 15.They are training to be lifesavers when they are older,and they have all sorts of games and competitions suitable for
