As old as a brontosaurus

As we walked around the Prehistoric Park in Calgary, I had my six-year-old son, Jordie, pose for a picture with a brontosaurus in the background. After I took the photo, I (NOT CAN) help crying.
"What’s wrong, Mom?" Jordie asked. I explained that when I was his age, my parents had taken my picture standing in exactly the same spot, and I was feeling rather nostalgic. I added that perhaps one day he (TAKE) his son’s picture here.
Puzzled, he looked several times from the brontosaurus to (I).
And then came the (BAD) moment of my life. My son said, "But …when you were a girl ... it was alive then, right?"

Leaving School at Sixteen

In Britain many young people decide to leave school at the age of 16 and go to a Further Education College. Here most of the courses (LINK) to some kind of practical vocational training in engineering, typing, cooking, etc. Some 16-year-olds leave school but cannot find work. At the same time they (NOT WANT) to go to college. For them the British government (INTRODUCE) the Young Opportunities Scheme. This scheme places young people with a firm or a factory for 6 months and pays them a small wage.
