a your diet as an adult

Now read the article and check your answer.
HEALTH ACROSS GENERATIONSToday many people know that
there is a link between what you eat and your health. Scientists tell us that what you eat in childhood affects how you grow and your health in later life, and that a diet with the right balance of vitamins and minerals can help us to fight disease and help to prevent serious illnesses developing. However, scientists are now discovering that our diet and environment can also affect future generations. This means that our health might depend on our parents’ and our grandparents’ diet and environment.
It appears that what girls do between the ages of eight and ten, and what boys do from age nine to twelve, is particularly important for the next generation. Scientists call these stages ‘Slow Growth Periods’. Scientists know that environment is more important during this phase. They also think that the effect is passed from father to son and from
mother to daughter. For example, for men, smoking during this period is bad for the smoker’s health and also for their son’s health, although it may be many years before they have a child. The sons of young male smokers are often overweight, as are the sons of men who ate a lot in their pre-teen years. Having enough food to eat is not always good for you.
In contrast, for women, eating well during this pre-teen period seems to improve the health of their daughters, but scientists don’t know why there is a difference between the sexes. What they do know is that diet and environment influence the way our genes work. These factors switch some genes on and switch other genes off. This means we should all remember that it’s not just the colour of our hair and eyes we’ll pass on to the next generation, but also the state of our health.

2 Answer the questions. Write complete sentences.
1 When were the oldest love songs written?
2 Who found them?
3 Why did people sing poetry?
4 Which other ancient civilisations sang love songs?
5 Why did love songs disappear after the end of the Roman Empire?
6 What music was popular after the end of the Roman Empire?
7 Why did publishers start printing the music for love songs?
8 Why are love songs still so popular?
Songs of loveHave you ever noticed how many songs are about 1 ? They cover the whole cycle of meeting
someone, going out together, getting married, and even 2 . Today, these songs touch on our own
experiences and so have greater meaning for us than
songs about other topics. So how long have people been
expressing themselves like this?
The oldest love songs we know about come from Egypt,
where archaeologists have found lyrics that are 3,500 years
old. In those days people 3 poetry, because it
was easier to remember the words and no one had printed
books. These songs had titles such as Sick in love and
My honey 4 and they followed some of
the patterns of modern songs, such as repeating lines.
Unfortunately, while the words have survived, the music
hasn’t.
Love songs weren’t only found in Egypt. Songs have been
found in archaeological sites in India, Greece and in old
Roman ones. This suggests that 5 about love is
something many civilisations have done in history. However,
during some periods they’ve been more popular than at other
times. Following the end of the Roman Empire, the church
in Europe disapproved of love songs and music was largely
religious. But after 1000 AD, ‘troubadours’ from Spain started
travelling across Europe. Their songs told stories of love and
are often thought to be the start of love 6 as we
know them today.
By the 1800s people were earning money by writing songs
and love songs were some of the most popular. Publishers
also started 7 the music for people to play
on instruments at home, because people didn’t have CD
or MP3 8 in those days.
Since then, music has become a huge global industry. But
even though it is essentially about making money, love
songs are still popular today as they allow us to explore the
emotions we all share.

Dear Sonja
You probably don’t want any advice at the moment, but I’m worried about you. I’m
sorry to hear that you and Martin have argued and that you’ve split up. But maybe
it’s for the best. You say he was nice, but perhaps he isn’t the right person for you.
You don’t seem to have a lot in common. For instance, he likes sport while you hate
it. You like films, but he thinks going to the cinema is a waste of money. You used
to laugh a lot, but for the last two months – since you’ve been together – neither
of you has seemed very happy. You can’t
change each other, so maybe it’s best to
move on. It’s better not to go out with
anyone than to go out with someone
you don’t get on well with.
I’m sure one day you can both be friends
again – if you want to be – but for now I
think you should try to find other things
to do. Julia and I often go into town on
Saturdays and we have a real laugh. Why
don’t you come with us this weekend?
We could go and see a film or just have
a pizza. What do you reckon? It would
be great to see you. Give me a call and
we can decide where to go.

A disappointing dateLast year I really liked one of my cousin Dan’s friends. His name was Matt and he was tall with fair hair and an unforgettable smile.
One day I was going to visit Dan when I met Matt on the bus. He told me Dan wasn’t at home, but they were going to meet at the sports centre to go climbing. Then he said ‘Carmen, do you fancy coming with us?’ How exciting – was Matt asking me out on a date?! I immediately replied ‘That would be great!’ Why did I say it? I don’t know. I’m frightened of heights and as soon as I said ‘Yes’ I was terrified.
When we got off the bus at the sports centre, Dan was already waiting for us at reception. He was surprised to see me, but luckily he didn’t say anything about my fear.
I hired climbing shoes and followed the boys to the climbing wall. I was putting on the climbing harness when I heard a girl’s voice from the door. ‘I knew it!’ She shouted. ‘You’re here! We had a date! Remember?’ She was very pretty. Matt went bright red and walked over to talk to her. After a couple of minutes he came back. He was still red. He gave us his harness and said he was sorry, but he had to go.
‘So Carmen, do you still want to climb?’ asked Dan. ‘Perhaps not’, I said.
I was disappointed that Matt had a girlfriend, but I was really relieved that I didn’t have to climb!

Now read the text and check your answers.
People say that travel broadens the
mind, that it makes you tolerant. When
we travel, we meet people who think
differently, do things differently and so
we learn that there are alternatives to
our own attitudes and behaviour. At
least that’s the theory, but is it true?
Josh (18) thinks it is. Last year, he set off
round the world with his friends Tim
and Kieran. They were taking a gap year
between school and university, as a lot
of young Britons do. They bought a one
way round-the-world ticket with stops
in six countries (Italy, Greece, India,
Thailand, Peru and Brazil). They decided
before they left they didn’t want to just
be tourists for the whole trip, so they
volunteered for a few weeks in India
and Peru. In India, they worked in an
orphanage in Goa, where they taught
Maths in the morning and played
football with the children after school.
While they were there they learned
about local customs and were shown
how to make curry by their Indian
colleagues.
In Peru, they decided to do something
completely different. They helped to
build a community centre in a village
with volunteers from all over the world.
They didn’t know much about building
before they arrived in Peru, but they
were given training and by the end of
their six week stay they were happy
laying bricks and painting windows
and doors. The boys were also very
enthusiastic about their experiences.
‘Our eyes have been opened to how
people live in other parts of the world.
I think in future we’ll look at our own
problems in a different way,’ says Josh.
‘I’m going to look for other volunteering
opportunities in future. It’s a great way
to see the world.’

Sophie’s father didn’t 4 know women with tattoos, but it
isn’t a new fashion. In Europe people have been having tattoos
done since the Stone Age and this form of body art is known
to have been common 5 the world for thousands of years:
in Japan, for example, tattooing started around ten thousand
years ago. So why do people like to decorate their body like
this? In the past there were many reasons. In some cultures,
such as in ancient Greece, tattoos were a way of identifying
people. There were different tattoos for different ranks of
soldiers and also ones for slaves. In some cultures, people
got them when they 6 adults, while in Polynesia the tattoos 7 by priests as a way of praising the gods.
Today it is usually done for 8 reasons. It is a way of
showing individuality and looking different from other people.
Sophie’s mum is worried that Sophie and Luke’s relationship
won’t last. ‘Sophie won’t want that tattoo when she and
Luke 9 , and they’re so difficult to remove,’ she says.
Linda needn’t worry, because Sophie and Luke’s hearts are
temporary tattoos made from glue and ink. They will disappear
within a week. Sophie hopes her 10 with Luke will last a lot

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about my recent holiday, which I booked
with your company.
I have just come back from a holiday at the Canary Hotel in Nice,
France. When I booked the holiday, one of your travel agents told me that
this was a quiet, luxury hotel, near the beach. When I arrived, I discovered
that the hotel wasn’t luxurious, it certainly wasn’t quiet and it was 2 km
from the beach. It is on the main road near the airport and next to a
disco which closed at 5 a.m. It was so noisy that I couldn’t sleep!
On the second day, I asked to speak to the manager, but I was told he
was too busy, so I asked the receptionist if I could move to a quieter
room. She told me that my problem wasn’t serious enough and that
the hotel was so busy that they didn’t have any free rooms. I have never
stayed in a hotel with such unfriendly staff before. After five days I felt
so tired that I asked to see the manager again. This time he wasn’t busy
and he gave me a new, smaller room. However, the bed was too small
(I’m 1.85 m) and the bathroom wasn’t clean, so I decided to stay in my
original room. I came home feeling exhausted.
I booked the hotel on your company’s recommendation. Therefore I
would like you to either refund me or book me a new beach holiday in
a quiet, luxury hotel with friendly staff.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

I got up early this morning because I had
to be at the hairdressers at 9.30 to
have my hair cut. It was getting quite
long before and now it’s very short. It looks
cool! But it’s early spring and my head
feels really cold now.
In the afternoon, I met up with Sam and
Johnny. They’re great fun to hang out
with. We went to the shops and I got a
hat to keep my head warm! It was a
bargain at £5. Johnny bought an orange
hoodie (really uncool!), and Sam got some
baggy jeans. We stopped off at a cafe
before coming home. We decided to go
to a gig at the Rainbow Centre next
Saturday. It starts at 8 p.m. – we’re
going to buy tickets on Monday.

My parents are having the garden
redesigned, which means someone drew
a design, but we have to do the work
ourselves. Dad and I cut down some old
trees. It was such hard work! We only
worked for three hours, but we were
exhausted. We were rewarded with a
huge lunch by Mum.
In the afternoon, I went to the park
with Sam. We drew pictures of each
other for our Art project. Sam painted
sideburns on his face using his sister’s
make-up! It was such a laugh. We’re going
to hand it in tomorrow, so we’ll see what
the teacher thinks!
Sam came home with me for dinner and
later we played a couple of computer
games. All in all, not a bad weekend.
