TEXT 2 We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago and I decided to buy a car because we had sold the one we had in England before leaving. Yesterday the sales rang us to say the car was ready. I had tried the model like it before but I was not yet used to driving in this city. My wife didn’t want that I collected it on my own, so we went together to fetch it. We paid for the car and signed the papers. They told us that there was enough petrol to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The nearest garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there safely. But when I turned into the main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing towards me. I got out of their way as fast as I could by backing into the garage once more, and the man behind me shouted at me as I nearly bumped into his car. “It’s such a problem to remember to drive on the right, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had had a few lesson practice,’ I replied. “You had better go carefully on the way home,’ my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had an accident on th first day, wouldn’t you?

TEXT 3 The train’ n Wheels Program, an Environmental Defense Fund project, has finally arrived in Southeast Los Angeles where it is assisting low-income communities with a gas-fueled shuttle service.

TEXT 4 Organic food is really beneficial, especially for its consumers. This is true for several reasons. The nutritional value of food is largerly a function of its vitamin and mineral content. In this regard, organically grown food is dramatically superior in mineral content to that grown by modern conventional methods. Healthy plants mean heathy people, and better nourished plants provide better nourishment to people and animals alike. A major benefit to consumers of organic food is that it is free of contamination with health harming chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. As you would expect of populations fed on chemically grown foods, there has been a profound upward trend in the incidence of diseases associated with exposure to toxic chemicals in industrialized societies. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that organically grown food tastes better than that conventionally grown. The tastiness of fruit and vegetables is directly related to its sugar content, which in turn is a function of the quality of nutrition that the plants itself has enjoyed. Organically grown plants are nourished naturally, rendering the structural and metabolic integrity of their cellular stucture superior to those conventionally grown. As a result, organically grown foods can be stored longer and do not show the latter’s susceptibility to rapid mold and rotting. Considering the advantages mentioned, it is true that organic food is really beneficial.
