In many countries going through difficult economic times, job openings for new graduates can be few and far between. In this competitive environment, relevant work experience can help job seekers stand out from the crowd, and many organisations now offer temporary placements, called internships. The problem with numerous internships, however, is that they are unpaid, and this often puts young people off applying for them. Employers and interns sometimes come to mutually beneficial arrangements, however. Dinesh Pathan, applying for an internship with an IT company, negotiated a deal in which he would be given travel expenses only for two weeks, and then, as long as he could show his marketing work was adding value, he would be paid a wage. The arrangement worked well: Dinesh had an incentive to work hard, and he ended up feeling 'not so much an intern as a temporary staffer'. HR consultant Denise Baker says similar arrangements are common. What is more, 'if interns do well, employers would often rather make them full employees than recruit people whom they don't know'.

Fairy tales are the stories that adults, especially parents, tell young children. In view of their name, it is surprising that hardly any of them are actually about fairies. Although most fairy tales have happy endings, the stories usually deal with very frightening situations - children abandoned in the forest, terrifying giants, cruel stepmothers. However, despite being scared when they are told the stories, children will often ask to hear them over and over again. Many psychologists believe that what fairy tales do, in addition to stimulating children's imagination, is to show that there are problems in the world and they can be overcome. Just like adults, children have fears and worries: theirs are of things such as abandonment, loss, injuries, witches. Fairy tales present real problems in a fantasy form that children are able to understand. This, it is claimed, allow them to confront their fears and to realise, if ever in their unconscious mind, that no matter how difficult the circumstances, there are always ways of coping.

Nowadays, television occupies a large portion of children's time. From when they start in preschool, children spend more time watching television than participating in any other activity except sleeping. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The results of some research suggest that there is considerable overlap between the comprehension processes activated while reading and the processes that take place during a period of television viewing. If this is so, it may very well be the case that children who learn comprehension skills from television viewing before they ready to read are equipped with some very important tools when they later learn to read. It has been noted that children are frequently better at recalling televised stories they have watched compared to those they have simply heard. Due to the fact that it is a visual medium, television can present information more concretely than written and spoken text, making it an ideal medium in which to cultivate some of the skills and knowledge needed for later reading.
