《My first day at the radio station》

My First Day at the Radio Station

 I couldn’t believe it when Jason told me that I had been at last recruited into the school radio station. I was overjoyed, because finally, I could broadcast English programs myself in the second term of my 7th year!

 The radio station was small but very comfortable, with a working desk covered with beautiful tablecloth, a few little chairs and stools, several posters, some photos, several files, sets of dictionaries and of course, both old and new equipment, including microphones and CD players. Also, there were pens and written notices too, scattered on the desk.

 On the 2nd Friday of the second term, I entered the studio and started my first ‘workday’. It was 12:25 at noon. Many students were rushing to the canteen for lunch after a busy, tedious morning, while a lot of others would stay in the classrooms to enjoy their meal while listening to the wonderful music on air. I hoped that I could bring them joy and leisure with my voice.

 I seated myself at the desk, turned the microphone toward myself and took the disc out. I waited for the heading to be broadcast, chose a soothing piece of music and spoke into the microphone ‘Hello everybody. Welcome to Channel 5. I’m Helen from A1, a new member……’

 Our program is an all-English entertainment program, focusing mainly on singers, albums and songs, but we also have fun, casual free talks. The atmosphere is always light and cheerful.

 All the other members of Channel 5 were present, eating or chatting or making notes. We have established friendly bonds among the 5 of us,  3 girls and 2 boys.

 The singer I would introduce this time was Celine Dion. I started to tell her rags-to-riches story which began in a small French-Canadian town. I played music and songs at intervals, enjoying the music wafting out of the loudspeaker and echoing in the school.

Apart from broadcasting, life at the radio station was enjoyable. We had visitors every now and then. Some brought notices and advertisements, some came in to inspect our work and some took with them our lunch, stealing a glimpse at the workspace in the meantime, while others simply dropped in for a look and a chat. We knew that every crisp knock on the door could bring us new ‘surprises’.

 My first day at the radio station meant that I had been accepted by everybody there. I would love my new family, and I would surely do my job well!
