　　I am terrible oh TV．I don't sit straight and I don't talk clearly．It bothers, because I know inside I am smart, sensitive and sincere．Television can make any fool look like an intellectual, but I come over as dishonest．After a disastrous TV show last year, when I called the interviewer by the wrong name, I was reluctant to do broadcasting again．

　　Now, I will have my first novel out next month, which is called Do It Again, and the advertising people tell me I must go on TV to promote it．That is why I find myself practising my television interviewing technique with two consultants from Public Image Ltd．

　　“He blinks(眨眼)a lot, doesn't he?” says Diana, the speech specialist, studying my image on a video monitor．“And his crossed legs look defensive．But the voice isn't bad．” Jeannie, who is introduced to me as Public Image's image consultant, takes a step backwards to study the general posture．“Needs to get his bottom back in the sofa．And the jacket makes him look a bit deformed．Where does he get his clothes from?”

　　“Honesty is the most important thing,” Says Diana．“We don't want to turn people into actors．We want to bring out their personality．Then most importantly, there are the three E's：Energy, Enthusiasm and Enjoyment．And do try to stop blinking．”

　　And so our practice interview begins．“So, what can you tell us about your book, Martyn?” “Umm…” A long pause．“Errr…” A longer pause．“Tee hee, hargh…” A foolish giggle．“All right,” says Diana patiently, “We'll try that again．” We try it again, many, many times, each time trying to solve a different problem that I have．On the second run-through, my crossed legs keep moving up and down, which makes me look as if I want to run away(I do, I do)．On the third run they are uncrossed, but my hands are clenched on my lap．On the fourth my hands are fiddling with my ears．

　　But Diana is patient and gives me a lot of advice．She is very good at her job because on the final run-through, after three hours or so, I really don't look too bad．Steady gaze, breathing clear and no blinking．Not perfect but not bad．

　　I'm bursting with energy, enthusiasm and enjoyment and I'm talking a lot of nonsense, but you'd hardly notice．When you watch people on TV, you'll see a lot more just like me．

A murder will occur this weekend in the peaceful seaside town of Langley, Washington. In fact, a murder has occurred there every February for the past 25 years. But don’t panic! It’s all part of the town’s yearly Mystery Weekend.
What began as a local event in 1984 now attracts visitors from over the U.S. and even abroad. Would-be detectives（侦探）arrive on Saturday. There, they receive a packet, including a newspaper with details about the crime and information telling where to find clues（线索）. Visitors then travel to various shops, restaurants and other places, searching for clues as they go. Along the way, they meet and interview suspects (疑犯) played by local people. The visitors need turn in their guesses on Sunday at 4:00 p.m.. Then as everyone gathers, the murderer is found, and prizes are awarded for correct answers.
For visitors, Mystery Weekend is not only fun but also a great introduction to the charms of Langley. It’s a very attractive place with historic buildings, exciting ocean views and above all, friendly people. Since Langley is on an island, a fun way to get there is by taking a ship to the nearby town of Clinton and then driving the rest of the way. Langley has a delightful selection of hotels with bed and breakfasts that are open all year round. And activities in Langley aren’t limited to Mystery Weekend. There is also great hiking, biking, golfing and diving to enjoy. And for a special adventure, visitors can book on one of the whale–watching ships that leave nearby harbors each day.
