SUMMARY:Saint Valentine`s Day
DESCRIPTION:Dear All,\nYou can listen to an interesting programme abou
 t Saint Valentine`s Day if you follow the link in the music section. I
 t`s entitled \"Valentine\".\n\nYou can also have a look at the tapescr
 ipt if it`s needed.\n\nTapescript:\nIt’s that time of the year when 
 couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and c
 hocolates. But Valentine’s Day is not only about public displays of 
 affection: in recent years it has also become big business. In the UK 
 alone, more than £20 million is spent on flowers, whilst in the Unite
 d States over $1 billion is forked out on chocolates.\n\nAlthough Vale
 ntine’s Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million r
 oses sold worldwide, the origins of the day are unclear and hidden in 
 the mists of time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although
  some historians suggest he was a Roman martyred in the third century 
 AD by a Roman Emperor. It is said that the first recorded Valentine’
 s card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is belie
 ved that he sought solace from his confinement by writing love poems t
 o his wife.\n\nValentine’s Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated
  in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often dif
 fer from place to place. In Japan, for example, it is customary for th
 e woman to send chocolates to the man, whilst in Korea April 14th is k
 nown as ‘Black Day’ and is when the unfortunate men who received n
 othing on Valentine’s Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with
  each other.\n\nTechnological developments have also played their part
  in keeping Valentine’s Day relevant in the 21st century. Valentine�
 ��s e-cards have been all the rage in recent years. However, internet 
 security experts urge web users to be wary as malicious hackers could 
 use e-cards to spread viruses and spyware.\nValentine’s cards can al
 so be used for less than romantic purposes. Police in the UK city of L
 iverpool sent Valentine’s cards to criminals who failed to appear in
  court or have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, “Roses
  are red, violets are blue, you’ve got a warrant, and we’d love to
  see you.” Who says romance is dead?\n\nVocabulary\n\npublic display
