Don t forget to react to what they are saying! Upside-down house owner / builder: So, you ve made an upside-down house why did you do it you crazy person? Was it a comment on how the world seems topsy-turvy these days? Or did you simply want to create a tourist attraction to make a lot of money? And how easy is it to live in there? Cooking, sleeping, watching telly, having a shower, going to the bathroom etc. And what other crazy plans have you got up your sleeve?

Back to y all at the Newsdesk Reporter: Presenter 1 throws over to you in the beginning, so thank whoever that is to start the interview. At the end you ll throw back to both presenters. Remember that the audience is in the camera, so try to start and finish the interview looking directly at the Camera, but look at the interviewee/s when you are talking to him / her / them, and don t forget to react to what they are saying! You are the kind of hip and happening youth reporter who interviews like all the pop stars and such like, so you can be a bit hip and casual cool if you want Gangtas: So, you re part of an underground criminal group dedicated to graffitiing with knitted scarves, hats, socks etc pretty cool, pretty hip. Why do you do it? Why knitting instead of paint? And where /how did you gain your sweet stitching skills? You re part of an underground movement to make things more colourful and so on, but the police think you re a criminal, so give it some attitude! Protect your identity!

4 WEATHER PRESENTER 4 Thank you (presenters 1 & 2). Let s have a look at tomorrow s weather: Starting in the Far North, in Kaitaia look out for some pretty flash flooding, and raindrops as big as your head. If you re going outside, wear a hat. In Auckland there ll be a mix of fair conditions and unfair conditions but those are the conditions and you ll just have to accept them. There will be no weather at all for the Bay of Plenty, it s taking a short holiday but is expected to be back for the weekend. In Napier and Hastings the weather will sometimes be changeable, and sometimes not. We have really no idea what will happen there... In the Taranaki, a mild depression brings with it a very dull day, with no highlights at all. It ll be overcast and gloomy all morning but, things should cheer up by the evening, so don t worry. Everything will be fine. Wellington will have another capital day, there will be no wind at all and the day conditions will be so pleasant they ll actually be EXTREME! In the top of the South Island, Kaikoura can expect to have a good day: meeting friends for lunch, going for a swim and reading the newspapers. But try to stay indoors as the weather will be just terrible. A real mix for Christchurch, which will have some unreasonable rainfall, some sensible wind, moderate thunderstorms and some very angry snow. And in the lower South, Dunedin will be frosty, cold and unfriendly until late morning, when the sun will pop over for a visit. Everybody likes the sun. JOINING LINK That s all from me. Remember, if it s raining outside, that s the weather for you. Now it s back to the news desk with _(presenter 1)_ and (presenter 2). Read through this script a few times to get a feel for what it says and how you want to say each piece. The script will be on the Autocue for you in the Studio, so you don t need to memorise anything but the more familiar with it you are the more comfortable you ll be. You ll need to practice a few times with the Autocue Operator too. The video of the Weather Map that plays behind you is supposed to keep up with you if it goes too fast or too slow, the Tech Producer will (hopefully) fix it, so just concentrate on delivering your script and the Map will catch up to you. Also, you don t need to be exactly spot-on when you point to whatever place you re talking about you can just wave your hand in the general direction to indicate the place you mean just so long as you look good doing it that s the important thing!

5 STOCKMARKET REPORT 5 Kia ora everybody, let s have a look at what s fresh in the Stock-market today. Prices in used Cooking Grease have gone through the roof as oil prices soar around the world. There is even some talk of a Black Market operating in this country, run by grease rustlers who are stealing used cooking oil from Fish and Chip shops and fast-food restaurants. Some experts are saying that any valuable used cooking oil should be collected and kept in the fridge. Also going up are shares in a new Bacon Flavoured toothpaste, created by an American company tired of that refreshing minty taste. Now your breath can be pork-fresh while your teeth get a dentist-approved once-over. That same company also makes bacon flavoured Dental Floss, Soap, Bacon Bandages and even Bacon Air Freshener. Is there anything bacon cannot do? So there you go, invest in oil and pork that seems to be the advice of most brokers today. This is making me a little bit hungry... Back to you at the News Desk. The Stock-market Reporter is traditionally quite square and a bit awkward, so feel free to play that up a little bit! And of course the Stock-market reporter always has his or her mind on the dollar except that today, for better or for worse, you ve got your mind on greasy bacon products... Read through this script a few times to get a feel for what it says and how you want to say each piece. The script will be on the Autocue for you in the Studio, so you don t need to memorise anything but the more familiar with it you are the more comfortable you ll be. You ll need to practice a few times with the Autocue Operator too.

6 2 MINUTES WITH... 6 Hello everybody, and welcome to 2 Minutes with me, _ (your name).

I m _(your name), back to you at the News desk and. Reporter: the 2 Minutes With section is like 2 Minutes with the celebrity interviewer you re a pretty big deal, so you can act like it, being vain and arrogant and so on. Remember that the audience is in the camera, so try to start and finish the interview looking directly at the Camera, but look at the interviewee when you are talking to him / her / them. Don t forget to react to what they are saying! At the end you ll throw back to both presenters. World Champion Liar: So, you're a great big liar, a champion in fact! Well done!

Also consider how you can mess with the interviewer by lying to him / her when you re answering you can be as outrageous as you like in your lies you re the best liar in the world after all!
