everyone is very friendly and helpful. It is my first visit to England and so everything is new, but consequently very interesting, There are so many things to see, especially during my first week's work-exp erience,where I learned a lot about journal ism and I had a good view of the working day at a newspaper. Besides, my English usage was trained and surely improved. England is a very nice country and I am

College bid to ease
shortage of nurses
THE local college of further education is trying to help with the
shortage of nurses. Accrington and Ross-
endale College will be offering a new part-time access-to-nurse-training
course at Whalley Adult Centre-from Monday,
February 1st. ' ^ The course is specially
designed for adults and no entry qualifications are
needed. The aim is to help to meet the need locally for newly-qualified nurses, cur rently in short supply. The first 16 weeks can act as a kind of taster, as students need only attend on one half-day each week until June, 1999. Then, if they wish to continue they will usually attend on four half days per week from Septem ber to June 2000 - although other attendance patterns are possible. On successful completion

of this course, students will have gained all qualifica tions they need in nurse training. The cost for the initial 16 weeks is £32.50 (£.7.50 for concessions) and the course will take place from 9-15 - 12-45 each Monday morning. Further details can be
obtained from student ser vices on 01254 354036 or Ann Yates on 01254 354052.

No matter how tempting it may seem, you must avoid using emotional blackmail to get a loved one to do what you want. Once you start holding emotions as a ransom there is no where to go but down. An invitation from a family member has more meaning that you think as they seek to make up from a silly disagreement you had at Christmas, so make sure you accept.
