a wardrobe, a small table for my books and magazines, a desk with my computer on it and
some bookshelves.
Presenter Thats amazing. What about the kitchen?
Edward Well, the kitchen is quite small, but weve got everything we need. Theres an oven, a fridge and
a microwave and a sink, of course. There are lots of cupboards for keeping things in. But there
isnt room to eat in the kitchen, so we eat in the living room.
Presenter And whats the living room like?
Edward The living room is really cosy. Theres a big sofa and two armchairs. Theyre really soft and
comfortable. Weve got a television, a DVD player and a stereo. Its my favourite room.
Presenter So whats the best thing about living on a barge?
Edward Well, I love having an unusual home. Its more interesting than living in a house! But I think my
favourite thing is the water. I like watching the canal. I can see ducks and swans swim by. I see
other barges go past, too. Its amazing!
Presenter Im sure it is! Well thank you for coming in today and telling us about your home.

Interviewer Hello, and welcome to this weeks episode of Students in Science, with our special guest, Emily
Walker. Hello, Emily. What are you going to tell us about today?
Emily Hello. Well, Im going to tell you about an elephant care-centre in Thailand. Theyre looking for
volunteers to work in the centre. Volunteers pay to work in the centre for between one and three
weeks. And this money pays for the cost of looking after the animals.
Interviewer That sounds amazing! What do volunteers do at the centre?
Emily They help look after the elephants. Every morning they walk to the forest, collect the elephants
and walk back to the centre with them. At the centre, they feed them, and help wash them in the
river. Then they clean the elephants shelters and in the afternoon they take them back to the
forest.
Interviewer What do the elephants eat?
Emily Fruit and lots of it! The volunteers go to local farms and collect pineapples and bananas for
the elephants twice a week.
Interviewer And where is the elephant care-centre?
Emily Its in Tha Yang, in south Thailand. Its about 100 miles from Bangkok and about 15 miles from
the beach. Its a very beautiful place.
Interviewer Well, thanks for telling us about the centre Emily. It sounds like a wonderful place.
