Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctormight give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out byUtrecht University What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think weremember is wrong

Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think You see, going

to the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed weare more likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment Therefore, we know what

is wrong with as but have no idea what to do about it

Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor Always write down anyimportant information What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record yourconsultation This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to

absorb it If you believe the situation is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a

family member Just ask them to accompany you to listen in This way you can be absolutelysure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most peopledo

For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, theyare in luck Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, heonly pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extracash for incidentals Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money

Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in abusy pub out in the countryside Some of the jobs require more experience that most peopleare unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm Thatshouldn’t discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if yousearch hard enough

There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand

If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, itmight be just the ticket you were looking for

28 Where can people find working holidays advertised?

A On the Internet B In magazines

C On the radio D In travel guidebooks

29 What can seem out of reach for young people?

A Being able to get time off from school

B Being able to earn money

C Being able to find a part-time job

D Being able to travel

30 Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?

A To show how fearful he is B To earn money

C To see the world D To visit a new place

31 Which students are in luck according to the passage?

A The ones who have airline tickets
