The challenge

DAD: Hm, that’s delicious. You know, Nicole, I think that’s the best curry the two of us have ever made.

NICOLE: Dad, you always say that.

DAD: Well, as we know, together we’re …

BOTH: ... the world’s greatest chefs!

DAD: Hey, your phone’s ringing. Aren’t you going to answer it?

NICOLE: I can’t answer it.

DAD: Why not? Oh, it’s almost ready. Listen, Nicole, if you don’t want me to overhear what you’re saying on the phone, that’s OK ... I mean you can tell me. I could leave the kitchen for a few minutes, or you could go up to your room.

NICOLE: Dad, it’s not that.

DAD: No?

NICOLE: No! Listen, you know my friends Emma, Justin and Liam, right?

DAD: Yes?

NICOLE: Well, we made a bet. We agreed NOT to use our phones for a whole weekend. Whoever loses – whoever does use their phone – has to treat the others at the café next week.

DAD: Ah, I see. Well, I love you, darling, but I think you’re going to be spending a lot of money at the café next week.

NICOLE: Dad!

JUSTIN: Hi, Emma.

EMMA: Oh, hey, Justin!

JUSTIN: Did you have a good weekend?

EMMA: Yeah, I had a great weekend.

JUSTIN: Uh-huh.

EMMA: Seriously, I’m not joking.

JUSTIN: Yeah, right. You just loved spending all weekend working on your project for school.

EMMA: Well, yeah, sort of.

JUSTIN: Really?

EMMA: Yes. I’ve discovered a way to make it fun. I work hard, and then I give myself a reward every now and then.

JUSTIN: Like what?

EMMA: Different things. It could be a piece of chocolate... or... You know what I did this weekend? After every 45 minutes of work, I watched YouTube videos. What’s so funny?

JUSTIN: And just how did you watch those YouTube videos?

EMMA: On my phone. Oops! I completely forgot about the bet.

JUSTIN: I thought as much.

LIAM: Hi, guys.

EMMA: Oh, hey, Liam.

JUSTIN: And?

LIAM: And what?

JUSTIN: Did you?

LIAM: What do you think?

JUSTIN: I can’t believe you survived the whole weekend without using your phone. That’s so not like you!

LIAM: Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t last one night. What about you guys? Did you manage to have a phone-less weekend?

EMMA: Not me. I was just telling Justin. I watched YouTube videos. I didn’t even think about it. It was just automatic. I just can’t live without my phone!

LIAM: There you go. It’s ridiculous. How can anyone not use their phone for three whole days? Even if I could ... I don’t think I’d want to!

EMMA: You know, I’m so happy to hear that. I was feeling guilty thinking I was the only one.

LIAM: Feeling guilty? Don’t be silly. Why should you feel guilty about something that makes life so much easier?

JUSTIN: It does, doesn’t it?

EMMA: So that means ... you used it, too.

JUSTIN: Well, I really tried not to, and it worked …

EMMA: What?

JUSTIN: ... for about three hours. And then I just thought, well, none of us is going to make it, so why should I even try? And after all, I didn’t want you to have to buy my coffee.

EMMA: Oh, here comes Nicole.

NICOLE: Hey, guys.

LIAM: OK, confess.

JUSTIN: Yeah, tell us. How long did you last without your phone? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Half an hour?

NICOLE: Three days, since last Friday.

EMMA: It’s OK, Nicole. We’ve all owned up. You’re not the only one who lost the bet. You can tell us.

NICOLE: There’s nothing to tell. I didn’t use my phone all weekend. In fact, I didn’t use any technology all weekend. No TV, no computer, no landline. Nothing.

LIAM: Seriously?

NICOLE: Seriously. No technology at all.

LIAM: All right! We have a winner!

EMMA: Wow, more self-control than me. You’re amazing.

JUSTIN: Really, Nicole?

NICOLE: Yes, of course.

EMMA: Oh, hi, Julia.

JULIA: Hi.

NICOLE: What? Julia?

JULIA: Oh hi, Nicole. I just wanted to say thank you again.

NICOLE: No, it was nothing. Forget it.

JULIA: No, you really helped me with my chemistry assignment.

JUSTIN: Did she? And when did she do that?

JULIA: Last night. I phoned her up, desperate. We were on the phone for like, an hour! And now it all makes sense to me. You’re really good at explaining things, Nicole. You should become a teacher.

LIAM: Oh, yeah? Well, I think she has a little more explaining to do.

NICOLE: Anybody want a coffee? I’m buying.

RADIO HOST: Good morning. This is Desperate Measures, our programme for young people, with young people. We have three of them on the show. We gave each of them today’s question three minutes ago, so they’ve had time to think a bit. The person with the most original and humorous answer is the Desperate Measures Champion of the Week. And today’s question is: ‘Imagine you are in an awkward situation, how do you get out of it?’

And here we go. Our first guest is Dawn.

DAWN: Hi.

RADIO HOST: Hi, Dawn. Give us your answer. You’ve got 30 seconds.

DAWN: If you have food in your mouth, no one can expect you to speak. It would even be rude to talk with your mouth full, wouldn’t it? So remember to take a snack with you wherever you go. Just imagine you are in class, and your teacher has asked you a question but you’re stuck and can’t answer it … that can be awful, right? But you don’t need to feel ashamed. Just stuff your face with things to eat, chips, fruit, chewing gum … whatever you have. And if you want to be absolutely safe, put toffees in your mouth. At least seven and …

RADIO HOST: Lovely answer. I remember eating a sandwich during a Maths class once because I was so hungry. I regret doing it as the teacher saw me and told me off. And now we have Philip. Hello.

PHILIP: Hi!

RADIO HOST: Philip. Give us your answer. You’ve got 30 seconds.

PHILIP: When was the last time you were in an awkward situation? Wasn’t it awful? I’m sure it was. But did you have a choice? Yes, you did. It’s your own fault! Want to know why? Because the only way of getting out of an awkward situation is not to get into it. So here’s my point. Never leave your room again. Just stay inside forever. If you stay in your room forever, you’ll never get into any embarrassing situations in your whole life any more. Nothing to regret …

RADIO HOST: Sorry, Philip but I regret to tell you that you’ve run out of time. And now our third guest on the show, Amanda. Give us your answer. You’ve got 30 seconds.

AMANDA: Imagine you’re in a shopping centre, hanging out with some friends, and suddenly you can see someone you want to avoid. You can try pretending that you don’t feel awkward but it won’t work. But don’t worry. Playing Dead is a simple trick. Try to find a place where you can sit down, and pretend you’re asleep. It’s always worked for me … as long as you have your eyes closed, you and the other person can’t see each other… and there’s one more point. This strategy gives you a chance to relax, and gain energy for the rest of the day.

RADIO HOST: Perfect, thanks so much Amanda, and thanks too to Philip and Dawn. And now it’s time to…

SAMMY: Hey! Come and watch this video, James. You’ll love it.

JAMES: What’s that, Sammy? Has it started yet?

SAMMY: Not yet. I’m just downloading it.

JAMES: When you’ve finished downloading it, give me a shout and I’ll come and watch it.

SAMMY: OK. All right, James. Come and sit down. I’m ready to start the video.

JAMES: Wow! That’s really cool. I don’t know how they do it. What do they call this sport?

SAMMY: Passour or Parkour or something or other.

JAMES: That’s right, Parkour. I read about it. It started in France. People jump, run, climb and swing over walls and buildings.

SAMMY: Wow! Did you see that? I bet you can’t do that.

JAMES: I bet you I can.

SAMMY: All right. I challenge you to jump onto the kitchen table.

JAMES: But that’s too easy.

SAMMY: Yes, easy and safe. You need proper training to do Parkour.

CHRIS: You go on ahead, Susie. I’ll never manage to crawl through that tunnel.

SUSIE: Of course you can, Chris. Come on. Keep going. You’re doing really well. I bet you can crawl through that tunnel faster than I can.

CHRIS: You know what? I don’t think I can continue. I’m too tired and it’s too difficult. We’ve still got that hill to climb. And look! Now it’s started to snow! I’ll never manage it.

SUSIE: You can’t give up now. You’re so close to the finish line.

LOUISE: Hey, Jake, I’m so glad you joined this club. Are you enjoying it?

JAKE: Totally, Louise! Everyone’s very friendly. I get on well with everyone and it’s good fun. And of course I love the climbing. We’ve been on some great climbs.

LOUISE: Too right. I never thought I’d have the opportunity to climb Ben Nevis. It’s the best climb I’ve ever done.

JAKE: It was a challenge but I’m glad I’ve done it.

LOUISE: Same here. What’s our next challenge? I bet we can climb Mount Everest one day.

JAKE: No problem. It won’t be for a few years though. I don’t think we’re ready for that yet.

LOUISE: I think you’re probably right. We need a bit more practice before we take on that challenge. Now, where were we? … I know. You were showing me how to do that knot.

Despite his extreme injuries, he had managed to crawl

The weather conditions were dreadful.

Then something dramatic happened.

This is the story of two ambitious mountain climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, whose story was later turned into a film. Touching the Void, and it started with an outstanding success. Joe and Simon managed to climb the West Face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes.

Sacrifice for survival?

1 _______ After reaching the summit, Joe and Simon decided to go back down via the North Ridge, an extremely risky but faster route. Their ascent had already taken much longer than they had intended because of bad weather.

2 _______So it wasn't possible for them to melt ice and snow for drinking water any more. It was getting dark too, and they knew they needed to descend quickly to the glacier, about 1,000 metres below.

3 _______ Joe slipped and landed awkwardly, breaking his leg. Both Simon and Joe were in shock. They were at a height of 6,000 metres. 4 _______ They were freezing. They had no communication with the base camp, and there was no chance of a rescue helicopter or any other form of outside help. The situation was really dangerous, not just for Joe, but for both of them. As an enormous snowstorm was building up around them, Simon tied two ropes together, tied them around Joe, and started lowering his injured friend. Suddenly, the knot got stuck between two rocks and Joe was left hanging from a cliff, in mid-air over a huge crevasse.

5 _______ He tried desperately for more than an hour to pull his friend up, but without success. The situation was absolutely hopeless. Simon imagined both

himself and his friend dying in the snow and ice. He didn't want to leave his friend alone, but the more he thought about it, the more he began to understand that there was no way he could save both his own life and that of his friend.

For a moment, Simon felt like giving up. But then he decided to cut the rope and save his own life. Joe fell away, right down to the bottom of the crevasse. The next day, when Simon continued down the mountain and passed the area where Joe had landed, he saw nothing, and assumed he was dead.

But he wasn't. Joe had survived the fall. 6 _______ For the next three and a half days, he continued to descend the mountain, crawling and hopping on one

leg under extremely difficult conditions. He even managed to cross a glacier with no safety equipment or rope assistance whatsoever. 7 _______ The others

were thrilled and amazed to see him especially because they had been preparing to leave. Joe's incredible determination and the fact that he hadn't given up under the most desperate conditions had helped him to save his own life.

A Story of Teamwork and Perseverance

How do you climb a smooth rock face? In 2015, two young American climbers showed us how. Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson became the first free climbers to climb the Dawn Wall of the El Capitan rock formation in California.

Free climbers don't use ropes when they climb. They

only use their hands and feet. However, they do have

ropes to hold them if they fall.

El Capitan is 914m high. That's almost 100m higher

than the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa tower

in Dubai, which is 163 floors high. The climb took

Caldwell and Jorgeson 19 days. They ate, drank and

slept in small tents hanging from the rock face. They

even read books there! They brewed coffee on special

hanging stoves. Every few days, a friend on the ground

climbed up on a rope and brought them new supplies

of food and water.

So how do you climb a smooth rock face? A lot of it

relies on the strength of your fingertips. The climbers

needed to stop and rest some days so that their fingertips could heal. To make their cuts heal quicker they used superglue and tape.

Unlike expeditions of a hundred years ago, people around the world could watch every moment of this climb as it happened. In their breaks, the climbers updated their social media accounts and spoke to journalists on the phone. A photographer and good friend, also hanging off the wall, captured every move on film and uploaded the photos on Instagram for people all around the world to see. 'Inspirational' – 'What a remarkable achievement! I'm awed.' – 'Awesome! Amazing! And a true friendship!' – 'What bravery and courage!' These are just

some of the comments people tweeted as they watched the amazing climb.

A lot of the climbing was at night and they chose to climb in the middle of winter. Why was that? Well, fingertips sweat less in cooler temperatures and the rubber on shoes can grip better. They began their climb on the 27th December 2014 and they planned to live on the wall until they reached the top. They promised not to return to the ground during their climb.

Caldwell was the stronger and more experienced climber, and he was always ahead of Jorgeson. For ten days, Jorgeson continued to fall during his daily climbs. He knew that he was delaying his friend. But this climb was about teamwork and friendship. 'More than anything, I want to get to the top together,' said Caldwell on day 13. He couldn't imagine finishing without his friend. Finally on day 19 the

two climbers made it to the top.

Caldwell and Jorgeson were the first free

climbers to manage to climb the wall.

El Capitan is in a national park in New Mexico.

El Capitan is a few metres shorter than the

world's tallest building.

People all around the world were able to see

pictures of the climb on social media.

The climbers' shoes grip better in warmer

temperatures.

They started to climb the Dawn Wall in

January 2015.

The two climbers decided not to descend to

My Climb to Confidence

What's 4,167 metres high, in Morocco and a challenge to climb? Mount Toubkal of course! Mount Toubkal is North Africa's highest mountain. And guess what? I managed to climb it this autumn. Yes, I actually climbed to the summit of a mountain.

The climb was a fantastic experience. The trekking was tough though, especially on the final day. We walked for twelve hours, and on the other three days we walked for eight or nine hours. I was exhausted when we finally reached the camp each evening. It was a four-day trek and we spent three icy cold nights camping. I went with my mum and dad and my older brother, who's nineteen. The climb was challenging for all of us. Each day, we stopped to have a picnic lunch, and the views were spectacular. I really

regret not taking a camera. The rest of the holiday was fun too, but the climb up Mount Toubkal was the highlight for me. I think the whole trip was character building and I definitely feel more confident now I've done it.

Any tips? Yes. Remember to take a hat. The sun is fierce. Don't forget to take a water bottle with you and some water purification tablets. Prepare for a challenging walk.
