The BBC was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London.

The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have complete freedom and the government can’t interfere. That is to say, the BBC is not the voice of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious groups.

There is a kind of interesting services in Britain--- rental services. Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.

The rent for a black-white set is about 80 pence a week (in 1980). The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black-white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them mended free of charge or replaced at once.

Everyone who owns or rents a television set has to pay a yearly license. There is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of license that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black-white set cost 8 pounds, and for a color set 18 pounds a year.

There are four specialized radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programs. Radio 1 is mainly pop music. Radio 2 is about light music, sports and other programs. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects, etc. news broadcasts are mainly given by radio 4.

There are special programs for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and certain parts of England. It also broadcasts programs about Britain--- in many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.

What do you think about mistakes? Maybe you say no one likes making mistakes. But mistakes lead to growth.

Converge Magazine recently published articles about mistakes students should make. It suggests students need to live a balanced life, even in the college environment.

According to the topic of the article, there are four mistakes students should make. The mistakes include:

Think they pick the wrong major (專(zhuān)業(yè))

A student should explore any possibility that interests him, and future careers might just be around the corner. Remember, if you don’t know what to do, it’s OK!

Think their teachers know everything

Students may think of their teachers as gods who know everything, but that really is not the case. Students should know teachers are the ones who can help us understand better. Students can research answers on their own and get their own opinions instead of having their teachers tell them the answers.

Think they get too involved

Getting good grades is very important, but it’s only a part of the life. Joining clubs and learning about social situations are all good for teenagers’ growth. It will not only make the students more knowledgeable but also create interest in their education.

Think taking a day off is a waste of time

Now, students are under too much pressure. It’s necessary for them to relax now and then. But they always keep in mind how that might influence their schoolwork. Take a day off to relax, and you may get an energetic student the next day. Just don’t do it too often.
