villages
• No mobiles for girls
Presenter: Some villages in India have banned girls from having mobile
phones. That’s because they can be distracted from their schoolwork by
using them.
In these villages girls who are not married or who are under 18 years old
cannot have mobile phones. If they do, they can get a fine.
People in these villages are usually poor and only the men in the family
have a phone.

• Tackling is too dangerous
Presenter:
Doctors in the UK say kids should not be allowed to tackle when they
play rugby at school.
That’s because tackling can cause serious injuries.
Rugby is a contact sport – like ice hockey. That means players often
collide with each other. Rugby players don’t usually wear helmets or
clothes to protect them.
Doctors say kids should play a different kind of rugby at school that
doesn’t include tackling at all.

• Alicia Vikander wins an Oscar
Presenter:
Swedish actress Alicia Vikander won an Oscar.
After she won, she told journalists she never thought that she would be
able to work as an actress in English. Listen to what she says.
Alicia Vikander:
I never thought from back home that I would do films in English, I didn’t
know that you could as a foreign actress really so I’m just really
honoured and to experience just being here has been pretty cool.
Presenter:
Journalists asked her what advice she would give to young girls who
have a dream like she did.
Alicia Vikander:
A lot of things can be possible, things that I would never ever, ever have
believed in so that’s probably what I want to say to some young girls just keep on doing it.
Presenter:
