In general , people can be a bi t unfr iendty i f they don't know you, butonce you've been introduced, they often invite you to their house for coffee and cakes.

Everyone's really friendly, but sometimes it gets a bit much. My friends are reallyfunny and we spend a lot of t ime at part ies or at burger bars together. l t 's verydif f icutt to do anything on your own because someone always wants to come withyou!

lan, age'r7 in FinlandWhen I arr ived here, the people I met, especiat ly in shops and restaurants, seemedvery ser ious. But my opinions changed when I made some fr iends.

The RFID RevolutionThe RFID revolution has started and our lives arechanging forever! A - Wel[, for yourinformation, Radio Frequency ldentif ication hasbeen with us since the Second World War, when itwas used to identify planes from a distance. Nowthe United States Army uses it to control its tanksin l raq.

But RFID isn't only timited to military usei. The retailgiant Wal-Mart uses it to track goods from theminute they enter the warehouse to the time thecustomer takes them home and consumes them.B-

And it's not only the retailer who can benefit fromRFID technology. C And we wil l be able tofind out allwe need to know about a product fromthe RFID tag on it. We wil lalso be able to do ourweekly shop without actually having to enter asupermarket.

D - lt 's an electronic label formed by asmal lantenna and a chip the s ize of a grain ofsand. The great advantage of RFID technology isthat the tags can be read from a distance anddo not have to be in the visualfield of a laserreader.

Other uses of this revolutionary idea run frompet identif ication to luggage tabell ing inairports. E - But the personalinformation on the tag poses a threat tosecurity, and there is a growing group ofopponents to RFID.

Whatever happens, you can be sure that RFID ishere to stay. Once it is fully implemented ourlives wil l never be the same again.

A world where memories can be created as you wish andthen inserted into your actual memory is a tempting topicfor any science fiction or screenplay writer. What would bethe consequences of such act ions? How could this processbe used by the governments of the world? What would bethe ethical issues connected with i t?We Can Remember lt For You Wholesale is a short storywritten by legendary science fiction author, Phitip K. Dick.The main character, Douglas Quail, appears to be anordinary man whose life is as boring as it is average. Hisdull routine is so tiresome that he starts fantasising aboutvisiting Mars.As the visions become stronger and stronger and putl himin deeper and deeper, he f inal ty decides to vis i t the RekatCorporation. lt is a corporation which offers memoryimplant services. Douglas wants them to place a memory ofa trip to Mars in his mind. Unfortunately, the procedure,al though simple and standard, does not go as planned.

Just before they can replace Douglas's memory, the peopleat Rekal discover that, in fact, he has been to Mars. He wasthere on a secret mission for the International police force.His task was to assassinate the leader of an undergroundrebellion taking place on Mars. Of course, the memoryreplacement is out of the quest ion and Rekal sendsDouglas home as quickly as possible.

The problem is that, once stirred, the otd memories startcoming back more and more strongly. The story becomes atale of a man who has two sets of memories whichcontradict each other. After the initiaI confusion, Douglasneeds to decide how to deatwith them. Should he el iminatesome of them? Or should he try somehow to put themtogether into one life story? But which of them are real?Naturally, it is perfect material for a movie and indeed, thestory served as the basis for a Hollywood blockbuster, IofalRecoll, starring Arnold Schwaaenegger and Sharon Stone.However, the ptot was adapted very loosely and if you've onlyseen the movie then you can't say you know the whole story.

Euro-Gommutirtg

With the launch of the new Eurostar train services fromLondon to France and Belgium,'Euro-commuting' has becomea real possibility for British workers.

The new high-speed rail links between the south-east ofEngland and Brussels, Lille and Paris on the continentmean that more and more Brits are seriouslyconsidering looking for jobs in France and Belgiumwhile still living in the UK.

Eurostar services from London reach Paris in just overtwo hours, Brussels in one hour and 50 minutes, andLille in just over an hour. Many British workers spend alot longer than this commuting daily into London,which is notorious for its congested roads and poorpublic transport services. This makes the prospect of afast, smooth trip through the Channel Tirnnel withefticient public transport links at the other end veryenticing for weary London commuters.

Other people, fed up with the high cost of living inBritain, and attracted by the better quality of Iife on thecontinent, are opting to set up home in France orBelgium while continuing to work in the UK. Thegovernment predicts that by 2015 there will be 1.5million people working in the UK but living abrirad.

Linda Greenlaw:swordfish fisherrnan

Not only does Linda Greenlaw do one of the mostdangerous iobs in the world, but she also does i t extremelywelt . She has been described as'one of the best captainson the ent ire East coast 'and that, in one ofthe leadingcountr ies in the f ishing industry, is praise indeed.

Linda was born and brought up on ls le au Haut, a t inyisland ten kilometres off the coast of Maine, USA. She felt inlove with f ishing as a chi ld, and she worked on f ishingboats during her summer breaks from college.

Her first oppoftunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip camewhen she was nineteen. Alden Leeman, a man she'd nevermet before, hired her for thirty days on his swordfishingboat. The trip was a success and eventualty Alden offeredLinda her first boat to captain in 1986, which probably madeher the only woman ever to captain a swordfishing boat.

So, why did she take up swordf ishing in the f i rst place?Linda says that not only does she l ike the way she feels ona boat, but she also gets passionate about catching a f ish.More than anything, she's proud of being a f isherman, evenmore so than she is of being a best-sel l ing author.

Linda has publ ished four books to date, the f i rst of which,The Hungry Ocean, was top of the New York bestseller listfor three months. In i t , L inda tel ls the story of one f ishingtrip and narrates the adventures she exoerienced on boardwith her five-man crew, including bad weather, sickness,mechanical problems and, of course, the f ish.

But the world of f ish and f ishing is a man's world and i t 'snot easy to f ind a word to descr ibe Linda Greenlaw. In herown words, she says: ' l am a woman. I am a f isherman. I amnot a "fishenryoman", "fisherlady" or "fishergir[".'

1 Linda isA American.B Bri t ish.C Canadian.

2 Her first deep-sea fishing trip wasA when she was a chi ld.B before she was twenty.C in 1986.

It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from hisexperiment and return to his originalweight, but the filmalso had a wider impact.

This 2001 dramastarring Russell Crowewas loosely based onthe book of the same name about the life of theremarkable American mathematician, John ForbesNash. Nash has one of the most brill iant minds ever t:emerge from the United States, but during his life hehas had to battle with serious mental illness.

From an early age, Nash was interested in science,and by the age of twelve he was already carrying outscientific experiments alone in his room. He spent ve4,little time with his classmates, who rejected himbecause of his superior attitude. When the SecondWorld War broke out, other boys of his age wereimagining themselves as soldiers while Nash wasinventing secret codes.

After graduating in mathematics, Nash went on todevelop his games theory at Princeton Universitywhere he did his doctorate. This theory became knou-as the 'Nash equilibrium', and it explains businessarrangements between competitors. The'Nashequilibrium' has been applied in the world of businesssince the 1950s.

From Princeton University, Nash moved to theMassachusetts Institute of Technology to teachmathematics. Here he met and married one of hisstudents, Alicia L6pez, but it was also here that he begrto experience symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. Hesoon became unable to teach or do research and hewas admitted to psychiatric hospitals for treatmentseveral times. Alicia divorced him and he spent the nertwenty years wandering around the campus at Princetor

However, over the years his mental conditionimproved, untilin the late 1980s, he began to makecontact with other mathematicians who realised thathis new work had value. He was awarded the NobelPrize in Economics in 1994 and he and Alicia remaniecsoon afterwards. He is still at Princeton, where he hasa post in mathematics.

Dieting the Chinese Way7

Most of us usual ly base our idea of the Chinese diet on

Chinese stir-fry takeaways. Nothing could be further from

the truth. A heatthy and balanced diet , according to the

Chinese nutr i t ionists, is a very complex th ing which needs

to be adjusted to a part icular person based on their needs

and health problems. Therefore, one recipe for healthy

eating does not exist. Rather, your healthy menu is created

depending on your physical condi t ion according to thefol lowing guidel ines.

2

First of all, each food and herb has a very particular taste

that has certain propert ies. A batanced diet wi t l include al l

f ive tastes - spicy, sour, bitter, sweet and salty. Each tastehas different healing properties. For example, bitter foods

are said to dry the body and cool it. Salty taste, on the other

hand, is warming and moistening. The dominat ing taste in

each person's diet needs to be sui ted to his or her

indiv idual needs.

3Secondly, there is the idea of Yin and Yang energy.

Everything in the universe is about balancing Yin and Yang

and so is a diet . A person who doesn' t have enough Yang

should eat 'Yang foods' . Meats, for example, are usual ly

Yang, white vegetables tend to be Yin. Preparation is equatly

important. Frying increases the Yang, whereas steaming theYin. l t is the same for cooked versus raw foods.

r Use of Englisho Writing . Speaking

Finatty, certain foods and tastes influence certain organswithin our body and so they need to be chosen accordingto our condit ion. For instance, the sal ty taste act ivates ourkidneys and bladder. Salt is therefore very often added tothe food or even to herbal teas prepared for people withkidney problems. ln the same way, sour tastes areconnected with the liver, while bitter tastes with the heart.The lungs are inf luenced by spicy foods, and the stomachby the sweets (yes, that makes sugar a medicine!).

A To sum up, I do not think that technology wit l make theworld more dangerous in the future. In my opinion, mostof the dangers are based in f ict ion rather than fact.

B On the other hand, we can see that computers arealready making the world a safer place in at l k inds ofdifferent ways. For example, aeroptanes crash very rarelybecause comouters can correct human error. Comoutertechnology is also making cars safer.

claim evidence fake genuine ,, hoax

ln 7934 an English surgeon called Wilson took a photo of

a creature in Loch Ness and showed it as 1

that the Loch Ness monster existed. The photo clearly

showed an animalwith a long neck and a smal l head, so

people thought i t might be z

7993, a fi lm director admitted that he had arranged the

to fooI people into believing

in Nessie. Uttimately it was proved that Wilson's photo

, but there are sti l l people who

that there is a monster in the [ake.

Crop circles- genuine or a hoix?

The patterns shown in the photograph are known as'crop circ les' and they caused great

media speculat ion in the1980s in Bri tain.

When two men, DavidChorley and DouglasBower, admitted in 7991.that they wereresponsible for more than250 of the crop circ les thatappeared in SouthernEngland in the 1980s, themystery seemed to have beensolved. However, s ince then, ascience has grown from research into cropcircles cal led'cereology' . Al though'cereologists ' agreethat about 80o/o of crop circ les are man-made, theyclaim that another 20olo remain unexplained.

2 Read the text on crop circles. Are the sentences true or false-

1 Chor ley and Bower admit ted they had created al l the

crop circ les in Southern Engtand. -2 'Cereology' is the study of crop circles.

3 'Cereologists ' bel ieve most crop circ les are genuine.

4 Col in Andrews's theory is based on magnet ism.

5 David Kingston doesn' t bel ieve in UFOs.

5 Kingston has proved that the crop circles make a strange

sound. -7 The wri ter th inks peopte are fascinated by crop circ les

because the cause of crop circ les is unknown. -

British children are encouraged to believe in FatherChristmas, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Write aboutsomething you believed in as a child.

So what causes the genuine crop circ les? There are anumber of possible explanat ions, some more crediblethan others. Col in Andrews has been researching cropcircles since the 1980s. He claims they appear inf ields in the summer because of a change in theEarth's magnetic f ie ld.

David Kingston, a leading UFO and crop circleresearcher, has anothertheory. He has

been investigating UFOs since the1950s and is convinced there is a

link between the two. Hesuggests that the genuine

formations are created by anenergy that is not used on thisplanet. He has alsodiscovered, with the help of a

special ised computer program,

that the crop circles are capableof making an unusual k ind of music.

Whatever the cause of the phenomenon, onething is clear. The attraction of crop circles is themystery surrounding them. Once the mystery has beensolved, they will cease to be interesting.

SEE YOU, SEAFOOD!Foufteen researchers from Canada, Panama, Sweden,Britain and the US have spent four years analysing oceanecosystems, fish population and fishing records. Theirf indings, which have just been publ ished, make fr ighteningreading. They predict that by the year 2048 the world'sseafood will have disappeared. 1_

According to the study, the number of marine species hasbeen decl ining much faster in recent decades and i f i tcont inues to do so, there wi l l soon be nothing for us to doto restore the diversity of these ecosystems. We havealready lost nearly 30'/o of a[] the known species. As wecont inue to consume more and more from the ocean, manymore species wilI become extinct. 2 _ And scientistsbel ieve that they wi l l a l t be gone by 2048 unless somethingis done about i t .

It is important that we find the causes before it's too late.Because of them, the number of ecological ly

important species is constantly decreasing and so is theoceans' ability to produce seafood and stay healthy. Someplans for reversing this trend are already being made.4 _ Just l ike agricul ture, which farms things on theland, aquaculture farms things in the water for the purposeof mass consumption. And so f ish, shr imp, oysters andother underwater species will simply be grown in controlledwaters. 5

Why should we care? For many reasons. First of all, if thebalance of an ecosystem is threatened then so is itsworking. For instance, the water is not cleaned and filteredby the creatures. 6_ Moreover, thousands of peoplearound the world rely on seafood as their basic food. Andfinatty, the world's economy witt be in trouble if everyonewho works in the f ishing industry loses their jobs.

. lfsc of Englisho Speaking

In the future, we need to rely less on f ishing in the wi l iand more on so-cal led aquaculture.

Also, in certain territories fishing will have to be bann,in order to let the populat ions of sea creatures rebui ldthemselves.

We are currently fishing for almost 8,000 different spcin order to put them on our tables.For example, many of the Pacific Ocean countries haveseafood and sea plants as their basic diet.

P B ShelleyPercy Bysshe Shelley was one of the poets from theRomantic movement who influenced W B Yeats.

Shelley was born in 7792, the oldest of seven children. H.did not enjoy school, and when he was finally expelled, hrran away to Scotland with his sixteen-year-old sweetheart.Harriet Westbrook. They got married on 28th August, 1 81 1 .and had two children together during their short marriageThey soon fell out because of Shelley's desire to practisean'open marr iage' .

It was on a trip to London that Shettey first met MaryWollstonecraft Godwin, daughter of the owner of thebookshop that Shelley frequently visited. They soon felldeeply in love, and in 1814 they ran away together, thistime to Switzerland. Here they met other poets like LordByron, with whom they spent their days sailing on the [akeand tetling each other ghost stories. One of these storiesinspired Mary to write her most famous novel, Frankenstein

After a brief period back in London, where they eventuallygot manied, the Shelleys moved to ltaly. Shelley continuedgoing sailing, but in July TS22hisboatDon luan got intotrouble during a storm. The boat sank and Shelley drownecileaving his beloved Mary a widow. He was only 29 years olcl

spent 30 minutes wai t ing on the 5 p-. Then, on the

train, I coutdn' t f ind a 6 s- because al l the 7 c-

the next train. The problems continued when we got on the

coach, because everybody had left their 8 l-- in thee a- and it was diff icult to find somewhere to sit.

Finally we set off, but as we approached London, there was an

Budget air travelBudget air travel has made travelling abroad much morepopular than it ever has been before. But how do airlineslike easylet and Ryanair manage to cut their prices and stil lremain competitive? Listed below are the main methodsused for cutting costs.

Booking overthe Internet reduces the need for a call centre,and eliminates the use of a travel agent in the purchasing oftickets. More than 95% of easyjet seats are now sold onlineand atl planes have been painted with the web address ofthe air l ine.

Airlines have reduced the time the aircraft spend in airportsbetween landing and take-off so that more journeys can bemade every day. Ryanair often uses secondary airportswhose fees are cheaper than main airports.

Passengers are only required to present their passports andbooking confirmation at the check-in desk, which eliminatesthe cost of issuing tickets. Instead of a ticket, passengers

receive an e-mail containing their flight details and bookingreference.

Passengers are not offered an onboard meal by low-costairlines, whose reasoning is that passengers would onlycomplain about it anyway! In this way, management andbureaucracy charges are reduced, and passengers are notobliged to pay for something they don't want.

As well as eliminating the need to issue flight tickets forpassengers, low-cost airlines have invested in high-techcomputer applications for their staff, reducing the paper

consumption in their offices.

Find out which budget airlines fly from Britain to your countryand which airports they use. Make notes on the airline, theschedules and the prices for the airport nearest to you.

Trip

An unforgettableIexPenen(e

The trip of my lifetime was definitely the month I spent inEcuador on an animal rescue proiect in my gap year. I'dworked temping for six months to finance my trip, and Ihad the most amazing time imaginable.

I stayed with eight other volunteers in the Santa MarthaRescue Centre, which is situated in a rural part of theAndes, surrounded by volcanoes. The centre cares foranimals that have been treated badly by their ownersand range from iaguars and pumas to monkeys andparrots. Our job was to feed the animals and keepthem clean.

A typicat day started at7 a.m. when we had to give theanimals their breakfast before having our own. Afterbreakfast we helped the local staff with maintenance

iobs around the centre, like repairing cages and buitdingnew enclosures. We normally stopped at aroundz p.m. and then went back to feed the animals againat 4 p.m.

I spent most of my time chopping fruit for the animals,but the best bit was entering the cages and feedingthem. My favourites were the baby monkeys who greetedme each morning by jumping a[[ over me and pul l ing myhair. Watering the young cats was slightly moredangerous and we had to do it in pairs. One personwould entertain the cats while the other opened thecages and grabbed the water bowls. We fil led the adults'bowls from outside the enclosure, which seemed like amuch more sensible idea to me.

The whole trip was unforgettable, and I wouldrecommend everyone to take a gap year. You gain

confidence and become more self-sufficient as well asgetting hands-on experience ofyour degree subject. lustearn some money, book the trip you fancy most and getout there and do it!

The members of Britart were the first artists who aimedto shock the oubl ic. -Gilbert and George started to work together at artcollege. -They first became known as sculptors. -They always wear the same type of clothes. -They often use photographs of themselves in theirworks. -The press is interested in their work because of theirtalent. -Gitbert and George stopped exhibiting when theyturned 65. -

Gilbert and GeorgeContrary to pubtic opinion, the members of Britart werenot the first to experiment with shock tactics.Contemporary art lovers have been viewing the works ofart duo Gilbert and George in major art galleries worldwidesince the t970s.

Gilbert, born in ltaly, and George, from England, met at artcollege in London in 7967. Soon after they started workingtogether as performance artists, whose show'The SingingSculpture' consisted ofthem standing on a table sprayedin gold paint, miming a well-known song.

From this moment on, Gilbert and George adopted theidentity of '[iving sculptures' in both their art and theirdaily lives. They are always to be seen wearing theirtrademark suit and tie, and they never appear separatelyin public. In front of the camera they walk with roboticmovements, and theirvoices sometimes sound unnaturalwhen they speak.

As for their art, their most famous works are huge,brightly-coloured photo montages on a black grid. Gilbertand George often feature in these works themselves,along with friends, flowers and other symbols. In theirlater work they have experimented with more unusualmaterials, which has attracted a great deal of mediaattention.

Some people question Gilbert and George's talent andrefuse to see the value of their work. However, in the worldof contemporary art they are regarded as two of the verybest. At the age of 65 they are stil l going strong, as theirsuccess in the 2007 exhibition atTate Modern shows.

Ilyland'$ Ilnafing WallsSome of the largest and most beautiful outdoor murals inthe world have been created by the American artist RobertWyland, or'Wyland', as he prefers to be called.

Wyland's murals are called 'Whaling Walls' because theydepict an animalthat he is passionate about: the whale. Hisinspiration lies in the whales he has studied and swum withas a diver and practising environmentalist.

Wyland's first encounter with the sea was on a family visit toCalifornia when he was fourteen. The experience of seeinghis first whale in the Pacific Ocean had an enormous impacton his life and his future. When he returned home, he threwhimself into the study of marine life.ln 7977 he painted hisfirst'Whaling Wall' in Laguna Beach, California, which isnow a famous landmark. His goal is to paint a hundred'Whaling Walls' before 2011.

The whales in Wyland's murals are all painted life-size,which means the 'Whaling Walls' are absolutely huge. Henever knows exactly what he is going to paint until heapproaches the blank wall with his paint sprayer. Hispaint ing technique is also unusudl, as he uses none ofthetraditional methods typical of such large proiects, likesketches, outlines or grids. Most of his murals take about aweek to make and he has done painting tours where he haspainted seventeen murals in seventeen weeks.

However, Wyland does not only paint whales because helikes them. His main objective is to bring the plight of thewhale to the attention of the public in the hope that it wittnot become extinct. And he has chosen his medium well. ltis not easy to walk past one of his giant murals withoutadmiring the beauty of his whales. We can only hope thereal thing outlives Wyland's artistic representations.

A discursive essayPreparation1 Read Freddy's essay plan and essay. Underline the points in

the plan that he did not have space to include in the essay.

Paragraph 1: introduction - l ive events popular - offer

something di f ferent

Paragraph 2: can concentrate - no distract ions

(unt ike at home). Also, l ive music usua[[y louder!

Paragraph 3: l ive music is genuine, not changed in

studio. Also, l ive gig includes dance, scenery, etc.

Paragraph 4: shared exper ience - e.g. ideal n ight out= huge stadium gig

Paragraph 5: conclusion - recorded music cheaper &

more convenient, but l ive gig: exci tement!

What is special about aIive music pertormance?Although we are surrounded by recorded music, liveperformances are still popular. This is because they offeran experience that you can only get at a live event.

Firstly, you can really concentrate when you arewatching a live performance because there are nodistractions. At home, you can listen to recordings, butthere's always something else happening around you.

Secondly, a live performance is more genuine than arecorded performance because you know it has not beenchanged. In a studio, it is easy to correct mistakes.

Finally, what I love most about live performances issharing an exciting experience with everybody else inthe audience. My ideal night out would be a rockconcert in a stadium with fifty thousand other fans!

To sum up, I would say that, although recordedmusic is cheaper and more convenient, it can neverreplace the excitement of a live gig.

iPods by lveJonathan lve was on stage, lovingty taking apart an iBooklaptop in f ront of an audience of fascinated designers. Forover an hour, he descr ibed i ts creat ion, the necessi ty ofevery curve, hinge and surface. Then he pointed to a t inytootset bui l t into the back of the case, a wonderful ideafor any service engineer. His at tent ion to detai l isamazing, but his ta lent goes deeper than that.

The 39-year-old v ice-president of industr ia l design iswidety regarded as today's most important Br i t ishdesigner. From his studio at Apple Computers in Cal i fornia,lve's team have defined the look of a generation, f irst withthe iBook and iMac, and lately the iPod, whose ownersinclude the Queen, Tony Blair and George Bush.

Beyond lve's ta lent , he is famous for his pr ivacy. Hera rely gives interviews. His Who's Who enlry states onlythat he was born in 7967, and fai ls to ment ion he is thefather of twins. What is known is that he is thoughtful ,brutal ly honest, passionate and cr i t icaI of h imsetf . Withhis fami ly, he leads a s imple l i fe in a two-bedroom housein Twin Peaks. His only luxury is his Aston Mart in, bought,natural ly, because of i ts looks.

lve studied industr ia l design and immediatelydisplayed a great ta lent . He would f ind unusual inf luencesfor his designs and inst inct ively turn them into amazinglymodern- looking products. For his f inal-year project , lvedeveloped an al ternat ive monetary system, a pebbte-t ikeobject which could be charged up and used instead ofcash or credi t cards.

In 1990, he worked on projects f rom toi lets to v ideocassette recorders for a London design company. Askedto design a new bathroom, he bought marine biologybooks and searched them for inf luences from nature. lvejoined Apple in 7992 and his f i rst major success, thecolourfuI a l l - in-one iMac computer, was inspired by thegl istening transparency of gumdrops, and was a react ionagainst the dul lness of the beige desktop computersworldwide. Yet his greatest success is the iPod, the MP3

JJ Tlr la I U]==

Dear friends out there,

I am writing to share what's been bothering melately. You know, at last I have decided whichuniversity I want to go to after I finish my studiesnext year. I haven't been very hard-working so far,and this means l'll need to spend a lot more timeon studying than before. I will have to sacrificequite a lot of my free time and even weekends. Iam quite prepared to do that but my friends simplydon't accept this. They think I just don't want to bewith them any more, which is not true. I do go outwith them every now and then but I don't reallyenjoy the time we spend together because I feel Ishould be studying at home instead. ls thereanything I should do to reassure myself and, at thesame time, make my friends happy?

Dagmara (1 7) from Poland

Write a message (150-200 words) in reply to Dagmaraand include the following:o what you think about studying in one's free t ime and

at weekendso what you think she should do to save her fr iendship

with the others. how you would cope with this issue in your own [ife.

Role 1You have been invited to join a very well-financed projectto encourage tourism in your country. lt is your task tothink about the goals of the project. You want to persuadeyour friend to take part in the proiect as well. You believethat tourism should be encouraged because it bringsmoney, jobs and prosperity to your country. In youropinion, tour ists can be taught how to behave in anenvironmentally friendly way.

Role 2 (examiner)Your friend is inviting you to ioin a project to encouragetourism in your country. You don't like the idea becauseyou believe tourism causes too many problems, inparticular environmentaI damage (chalets, hotels andsports centres in the mountains, new roads, destructionof animaI habitats, litter, excessive use of water andelectricity, etc.).

Read the text about an interesting house and choose themost suitable heading (A-G) for each paragraph. There isone extra heading you do not need.

Donnachadh McCarthy takes environmental issues veryseriously. As an eco-auditor he gives advice to people andcompanies on how to make their homes and offices moreeco-friendly, as an author he writes books that persuade

readers to have a greener l ifestyle, and he is often a speakeron environmental issues at different conferences

Yet, he doesn't believe words are enough: he would l ike tolead by example. This is why he turned his home in centralLondon into a place where he can prove he l ives by the greenpr inciples which he promotes His Victor ian house from the1840s was equipped with di f ferent environmental ly f r iendlydevices to become first a zero-carbon house (same amount ofCO, in and out) and later on carbon-negat ive ( less C02 outthan rn)

The same level of attention is given to household waste in hishouse With thorough recycl ing he only needed one bin forthe whole of last year and even this one bin was not fu l l

He does not misuse electr ic i ty ei ther Donnachadh McCarthydoes not buy any from outside sources because he generates

his own 'green' electricity with the solar electrrc panels on hisroof In fact, he produces so much that the national systempays him for the extra amount

6

lf we add up how much greenhouse gas we produce a yeal

we get our carbon footpr int , which is measured in uni ts ofcarbon dioxide (COz) The carbon footprint of an averageBri t ish household is 6,000 kg of CO, In the case ofDonnachadh McCarthy's place this f igure is minus 1 14 kg!Donnachadh McCarthy said in an interview: ' l f I can do i t inan old terraced house in central London, there is nothing tostop people everywhere doing it in their own homes.'

How rs this possible? First of all, he is very careful to useal ternat ive energy sources l ike wind and sun whereverpossible Heat ing in the house is provided by a wood burnerthat is powered by waste wood near his house Hot watercomes from a solar water heating system from the roof andhis toilet only uses rainwater Water is not wasted in hishome Whrle the average Br i t ish household consumes 160lrtres of tap water a day, he only uses 26 l itres

I have have some experience ofshop work, as I have

helping my aunt out in her newsagent 's every

weekend for the last three years. My responsibil i t ies

there include serving customs and count ing the

cash at the end of the day.

I consider mysel f to be a hard-working and

responsible person, which enjoys work with

people. I has met many interesting people in my

aunt 's shop, and newspaper sales have increase

since I started working there.

I would be very grateful for the opportunity visit ing

your shop and discuss my appl icat ion wi th you in

person. I am available for interview and can start

work on z4th June, which is the day immediately

after my exams.

Yours Faithfulty,

Lueky numbers

Phi l ip Fredericks and 1 wife have been

doing the lot tery for years, choosing the same six

numbers 2- week. Never having had3- money, they were natural ly overjoyed

when they discovered that 4- numbers

had come up in the UK's weekly lot tery draw. Five

other people had chosen the same numbers, sos- of the six winners was to receive an

equal share of the f3 mi l l ion pr ize. Mr Freder icks

wasted 5 t ime in claiming his f500,000,

and the couple went out to celebrate at an

expensive restaurant in their hometown of

Worcester. As Mr Fredericks pul led out his wal let

to pay the bi l l af ter the meal, 7- lot tery

t icket fel l out of his pocket onto 8-

f loor. He then remembered that he had

accidental ly bought two t ickets for the draw, ands- t ickets had the same numbers. That

meant that he was in fact ent i t led not to10- sixth, but to a third of the pr ize

money - f 1 mi l l ion. l t was the f i rst t ime a player

NARRATIVE

I thin} one of tJle worst moments of mlr life wa,s when I nearly didn't

mal<e it to roy flns,l German oral exa.m at unlversity.

Thlee friends a,nd I had taken advarrta4fe of the week between the end

of tJrc written ex&ms and our oral to vislt some people we knew in

Augsburg tn GermanSr. Unfortunately, tXrere was a train strike in the

whole of the IIK the day we were due to travel home a,nd we, being

students, had opted to travel by trah.

Our Journey by train and ferrSr back home went weU, but we arived in

London to flrrd that there were no tra,ins barek to Manchester that

niglht. Our lnltlal plan was to spend tlre night in Euston sta,tlon and

c€,tch the first train the next morning, but t'he t€xi driver who took us

to Euston refused to let four young $rfs spend the night in a railway

sta,tion. Instead he took us to a makeshift hostel for stranded

pa,ssen€lers to a €srm somewlrere tn the middle of London, and so we

staJred tJle ni€ht there.

TTre next mornbg we got up at 6 a.m., grabbed our thin5gs, a,nd went

back to Euston to cs,tch the tra,in. We arrived in Ma,nchester at lO.5O

wittr just enou€h time to run home, get showered and get to university

in time for our orale at Ie.3O. I still can't believe we actua$l made it,

and I hate to thjnk what would have heppened if we'd spent the ni€ht

in the station.

or taxis. Another good point was the caf€, which served good food alt day.

the menu was var ied and the pr ices were very reasonable.

The campsite did have its f laws,(6il@ There were long queues for the

One of the best books I have ever read is, in fact , the book I am reading at the

moment. lt 's catled The Bookseller of Kabul and was written by a Norwegian

iournat ist , Asne Seierstad, who spent severaI months l iv ing in a t radi t ionalAfghan

familv after the fatl of the Taliban.

Seierstad's book is a col lect ion of stor ies to ld to her bv the di f ferent members of the

famity she t ived with. First there is the proud booksel ler h imsetf , who has spent al l

h is I i fe protect ing his books in order to br ing the wr i t ten word to the people of Kabut.

Then there are the ref tect ions and recol lect ions of h is two wives, his chi ldren and his

brothers and sisters, which Seierstad reveals in such a sensi t ive and int imate way,

that i t is impossible to put the book down.

However, The Bookseller of Kabul is not merely the story of one Afghan family.

It reflects the fight for survival that most Afghans have had to lead during recent

decades and, of course, the repression exper ienced by Afghan women.

As a work of non-f ict ion, the book of fers an insight into a cul ture that most

Europeans wit l never have the chance to see. As a story, i t is gr ipping. l t is not

surpr is ing that th is book has become an internat ional bestset ler , and I would

recommend i t to anyone who wants to learn the t ruth about l i fe in th is part of the

world.

credi t cards, which was very surpr is lng for a modern resort .

My advice to somebody looking for a campsi te in Spain is to spend some t ime

looking at websites that inctude real reviews written by travellers. lt is also

important to check the pr ices careful ly, s ince sometimes there are hidden

extras, such as local tax.

To sum up, I would say that the Happy Campsite was quite a good place to stay,

but it was far from perfect. lf we had done more research online, I am sure we

could have found somewhere better and just as cheap.
