C Foreign travel too is bringing us together. My mother

comes from Brazil, my father's from Sweden, but
I live in London and I compete for Great Britain.
I speak Swedish, Portuguese and English and in
today's world I'm not so unusual. In my
neighbourlhood you can hear more than a dozen
languages, you can eat food from all around the
world and there's a wonderful mixture of music
and art.
D Nationality is still important to us: we follow our
flags with pride and compete against other nations.
But just because someone comes from another
place, doesn't mean they're our enemy. I know lots
of athletes from other countries. We're rivals but
we get on well and respect each other.
E I enjoy national differences, but I'm delighted the
divisions between people are disappearing. I love
the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games: the
athletes from all the different countries are wearing

A Most of us are proud of where we come from. We

sing our national anthems and wave our flags; we
cheer when our country wins a gold medal; we
feel different from other nationalities. But the world
is changing and it's changing fast and a global
community is on its way.
B New technologies are breaking down the borders
between people. The Intemet is helping us to get
to know each other. You don't need a passport or
a visa to talk on Messenger or Skype. I chat with
friends from lots of different countries and I don't
mind where they come from. All I know is we enjoy
the same things. It's not where you're from that
matters the most; it's who you are that really counts.

TRAV EL
Travelling Light
CD2.a
student from
Newport
Driving a car for long distances is stressful. Flying is quick

but frustrating - flights are often at inconvenient times,
there are hours of waiting, watching the clouds below
quickly becomes boring. That's why for many people, going
by train is the best way to travel. It's quiet and relaxing,
you can get up and walk around and it's also a great way
to meet people. One problem is that train tickets can be
expensive. But the new InterRail Global Pass is a cheap and
convenient way of travelling around Europe. InterRailing is
becoming more popular again and every year a quarter of
a million people choose this way to travel.
Seventy percent of them are under the age of 25.
We talk to two experienced InterRailers ...
2009 InterRai l map
This is my third
time InterRailing.
This year I'm
leaving just after
my college exams
in June and I can't
wait. I always
travel for a month but buy a twentytwo-day ticket - I like staying for two
or three days in one place if I really like
it. I'm going to spend ten days in
Spain - I always spend three days in
Barcelona because I love it and I've got
friends there. I'm going to try and visit
Portugal this year as well. And after
that - who knows? I love the freedom
of changing my plans at the last
minute.
Top tips: Take some playing cards it's a good way to pass the time and
to make friends during long journeys.
It's also a good idea to take some basic
medicines - there's nothing worse than
feel ing ill on a train at 4 a.m .!
Justine, 24, a
photographer
from London
..
FACT BOX
InterRail Global Pass
Where can I use it?
You can travel as much as you want in up to thirty
European countries by train and on some ferries too
(for example between Italy and Greece). You can't use the
Pass to travel in your home country.
How old do I have to be?

Youth Passes are for people between the ages of 12 and 26.
Adult Passes are for people over 26.
How much does it cost?

The most popular type of ticket gives you unlimited travel
second class for 22 days and costs 309 for
people under 26.
You can also buy cheaper tickets for 3- 10 days.
I usually go
InterRailing with
my boyfriend in
the early autumn
when it's quieter.
We already know
southern Europe
qu ite well so this year we're travelling
through Belgium, the Netherlands
and Germany to the Czech Republic.
We 're going to celebrate my birthday
in Prague and then travel to Poland
and back through Germany. It's best
not to rush - a big mistake is to plan
to visit too many places and then
spend every day on the train.
Top tips: Always learn a few basic

words in the language of each
country you visit - I can say 'thank you'
in nine languages! And don't forget a
battery charger. InterRailing is no fun
when your camera and
mobile phone don't work!

he importance of English as a global

language is growing all the time.
Of course, there are more native
speakers of Chinese than of English about a billion compared to about 400
million. But almost one and a quarter
billion people across the world use English
as a second or foreign language. And
this number is getting bigger every year.
English is the international language
of politics, business, science, transport,
advertising, the media and computers. For
example, approximately seventy percent
of websites are in English. Even in countries
like Germany, almost ninety percent of
research scientists use English as their
working language every day.
There are some other languages which are

gaining in popularity: the number of people

WRITING SKILLS
11 Follow the instructions and write an email.
While visiting your family in Cardiff during

your summer holiday, you read an article in the
local press. In the article the local youth club
invites young people to take part in a variety
of activities. Unfortunately the article does not
include enough information, so you decide to
write an email to the youth club in which you:
introduce yourself and ask if foreigners can
participate in the advertised activities.
write about your hobbies and express your
interest in taking part in a certain activity.
ask when the activities take place and how
big the groups are.
ask if you have to pay for participating in the
activities and what you have to do to take part.
in different countries is increasing too. Some

languages like Urdu or Hindi are growing
much faster than English. Even in the USA
the fastest growing language is Spanish!
Not all languages are so successful,
however. There are about 6,000 languages
in the world but sadly many of them have
an uncertain future. In fact, about twenty
languages are disappearing every year.
Surprisingly, the Internet may offer a
solution to this problem. Although it is
true that English dominates the Internet,
the number of websites in other languages
is growing very quickly. With chat sites
and messenger programs people can
communicate more easily than before and
in any language they know. So perhaps
modern technology can help save some
languages from dying out.

The best days of your life?

It was such a big day but I don't remember very much . It's not surprising
five years old and it was a long time ago!
I walked to school with Mum and I cried all the way. I didn ' t want to go. I had a
rucksack and a brand new pencil case. The playground was full of noisy, excited kids.
Some of the children looked huge - I never knew that I was so small! Then a bell rang
and everybody stopped running and went inside . How did they know what to do?
The classroom walls were yellow and there was a horrible smell of soap everywhere.
There was also an aquarium with smelly fish in it. My teacher's name was Mrs Bell.
('What a funny name! ' I thought.) She wasn't very strict but she spoke in a loud
all the time . It was very strange.
I don't remember what we learnt that day. I think we sang songs and clapped a lot.
Mrs Bell read us a story and we sat cross-legged on the floor. I was embarrassed
because I didn' t know how to do it!
'So, Kate, were you a good girl today?' Dad asked me later.
'I don't know!' I said.
'Was it fun?'
'No! And Mrs Bell said that we have to go back tomorrow!' I wasn't very happy .
'Did you make any new friends?'
'Yes, I did . I think ... '
'Did you learn anything?'
'No, I didn't! Dad! Why are you asking me all these questions? Didn't you go to
school? '

with dyslexia use a different

part of their brain to read and
remember. Experts think that the
cause of dyslexia is genetic:
probably somebody else in
the family also had dyslexia .
Statistically, about fifteen percent
of people are dyslexic, but not
everybody who has dyslexia
knows about it.
41
Some people with dyslexia
discover they have special, hidden
talents but only when they are
older. A good example is Agatha
Christie , one of the most
successful writers in history (two
billion books published in forty-four
languages l ). At school she had
problems with writing and often
got bad marks for essays. Her
parents were disappointed and
wanted Agatha ta leave schaol
early. She only started writing
because her older sister said
Agatha couldn 't do it! And even
when she was already a famous
crime writer, she sometimes felt
embarrassed because she still
couldn't spell.

One day in the 1920s, the great American composer

George Gershwin was travelling to a concert in Boston.
While he was sitting alone on the train, he suddenly got
the idea for his most famous work, Rhapsody in Blue.
When you listen to the music today, you can clearly hear
the train wheels and the whistle!
Night was falling and the moon was shining. Beethoven

was walking around Vienna - he was looking for
inspiration. He was passing a small house when he heard
one of his compositions. Somebody was playing it on
the piano but kept on making mistakes. Beethoven was
intrigued and decided to find out who it was. He entered
the house and realised that the girl at the piano was
blind. He sat and played music to her for over an hour.
Suddenly the moon appeared at the window. Beethoven
was excited by the special atmosphere in the room and
began to compose his famous Moonlight Sonata.
In the summer of 1837, the Polish composer Chopin

was living in Paris. Late one evening he was composing
alone in his music room. While he was sitting at the
piano, a small kitten suddenly ran across the piano
keys. Chopin liked the strange melody and he tried to
write it down. In 1838, he published a new
composition. The title? - The Cat waltz!

LITERATURE
rs Ranee, myoid English

teacher, once wrote on my
report card, 'Gavin is a
pleasant boy but has no
imagination .' Perhaps she was
right. Certa4nly, when I was
sixteen, I found writing very
stressful - my mind used to go
blank in the middle of an essay
because I didn 't have any ideas.
I'm sure Mrs Rance was
surprised when I became a writer.
The truth is that people work
best in different conditions and I
had to find out for myself the
conditions that were most
creative for me. The first thing is
to find a place where you enjoy
working. I used to do my
homework lying on the floor.
Nowadays I do all my writing at
the kitchen table. The great short
story writer Raymond Carver used
to write while he was sitting in his
car, parked in front of his
apartment. Others find the noise
and distractions of libraries or
railway stations more inspiring
than at a desk at home.
The next thing is to identify the

time of day when you feel
creative and can work without
interruption. Toni Morrison, the
American novelist, used to get up

half an hour before dawn , light a

candle and wait for the sun to
come up before she got down to
work. I prefer staying up to work
VYhen everyone else is asleep .
The French writer, Henri
d'Ague.sseau, whose wife
was always ten minutes late for
dinner, used this time to write
every evening. He kept on
writing and a year later he
finished his book (and it
eventually became a bestseller!) .
But what do you do when the
ideas aren't coming? The most
important thing is to stop
concentrating on the problem
and to do something else. I find
my best ideas come to me when
I'm chilling out in the bath . I'm
not the only one - Benjamin
Franklin did most of his writing in
the bath and of course
Archimedes solved a
complicated problem while he
was having a bath. There's a
good reason why taking a break
in the middle of your work is
creative - when you relax it is
easier'for the right part of the
brain (responsible for imaginative
thinking) to come up with
creative ideas. So it's official relaxing is creative.

Another good time to come up

with ideas, according to the
scientists, is just after you wake
up. At this time your brain is
disorganised but the right part of
the brain is still very active so
you are open to all sorts of
unusual ideas. So sometimes I
wake up fifteen minutes early
and just lie in bed and think - it
can be very creative.

10 Follow the instructions and write an informal letter.
After attending a new school for a few weeks,

you decide to write a letter to a friend from
the USA. In the letter you:
write what kind of school it is and describe it.
mention one thing which makes your new
school different from the school you used
to go to and say if this is a good or a bad
change.
write your impressions of your new
classmates and describe your form tutor.
say how you are doing in the new school
and what your favourite subjects are.
Creacllve

and clips
Many people believe they cannot create
anything. I don't agree. I think everyone can
be creative. Unfortunately, there are some
popular myths which stop people from
showing their creativity. So let me try to
help you become more creative.
Myth numbet" I: 'I am not creative.'
Many people say this but the truth is that we are all
creative. That's what makes us different from parrots.
They can say clever things but don't have original or
imaginative ideas. People, on the other hand, have
the power of imagination. The problem is that most
of us don't use it enough. When we grow up, we
learn to limit our creativity because we don't want
to be different from other people.
IiIiI
Brains, like bodies, need exercise to keep fit.

So use your brain. Read books, go to the theatre
or the cinema, listen to music and the radio, and
be careful about which TV programmes you watch.
You're sure to find some inspiration to help you
create someth ing original.
Myth numbet" 2: 'Honest hard criticism

will help my friends improve their ideas.'
It's good to be honest, but if your criticism is too
hard it will limit creative thinking and teach your
friends to keep their ideas to themselves. Creative
ideas are fragi le.They need care, not kicking.
IiIiI
Don't be too negative when you criticise

your friends' ideas. It's not good for their confidence.
Instead, offer gentle constructive criticism and use
brainstorming to help your friends make their ideas
even better:
Myth number 3: 'I don't need a notebook.

I always remember my ideas.'
Maybe. But I doubt it. Imagine in a dream you find
the answer to a problem. But then you wake up,
have breakfast, get dressed, go to school, and so on.
Eventually, in the late afternoon you finally have time
to think about the problem ' " and find that you
can't remember the solution that came to you in
your dream.
IiIiI
Always carry a small notebook and a pen or

pencil w ith you.That way, if you have an idea, you
can quickly note it down. After reading your notes,
it's possi ble you 'll think that most of your ideas are
silly Don't worry, that's normal. What's important is
that taking notes can help you keep your good ideas
and become more creative.

Miki 's great - she's just the kind of girl that you want to share a flat with and
the flat is lovely. But there's one thing which is very odd about this place:
there are glass walls between the different rooms! Everyone that sees it think
it's amazing and , obviously, it's much better than the youth hostel where I

This week Katy Courier

takes a look at unusual
buildings around the
Why do we build
strange places?
There are many amazing buildings
I around the world. Perhaps some
near where you live. But why do
people build strange places? Why not
just design buildings that are useful
and practical?
One reason is that some of us like to
be different. We can see that in the
houses where we live and also in the
clothes we wear. So perhaps it's not
surprising that French fashion designer
Pierre Cardin has a very special home:
the Bubble House in the south of
France. With its round windows, oval
doors and curved walls some people
say it looks more like a plant or an
animal than a house. Others say that
it is a place where aliens could live.
However, even if you don't like it, you
have to admit it's original.
10
15
20
Another reason for designing unusual

buildings is to attract people's
attention. One of the best examples
is the Kansas City Public Library
in Missouri, USA. The outside wall of
the library looks like a row of
enormous books. The message is clear:
there are books in here. The people
who designed the library asked local
residents to choose the books that
best represent their city. And now
these giant books attract people to
the library. So what's next? A cafe that
looks like a coffee cup? A hotel in the
shape of a bed? Or a baker's with walls
of bread?
Some people want to use their
buildings to communicate. Take, for
example, businessman Daniel
Czapiewski who built the Upside
Down House in Szymbark, Poland.
When you go inside, you walk on the
ceiling. The furniture is on the floor,
but the floor is above your head!
25
30
35
40
Although many people feel sick as they

walk around the house, it is very
popular with tourists. However, for
Mr Czapiewski the house is more than
a simple tourist attraction. He built it
to protest about the state of the
world; to say that we are running the
world the wrong way.
Finally, some buildings are special
because of their strange location: on a
mountain top, in a lonely forest, or on
a rocky island. Often the reason that
people choose to build in such strange
places is to find a quieter life; to escape
the noise and violence of the world.
Perhaps the best examples are the
Meteora monasteries, which sit on
top of spectacular rock columns in
central Greece. Tourists are welcome
at some times but the monasteries are
still really peaceful places with the most
wonderful views you can imagine. The
only problem is to decide whose tum
it is to go out to buy the bread.

Hungry Planet
Photographer Peter Menzel
and author Faith D'Alusio
visited thirty families around
the world to find out what
people eat. The result is
'Hungry Planet' . In our first
look at the book we
analyse the food that two
very different families eat in
one week.
They eat too many sweet

things; there's too much
sugar in their diet: there's
a packet of biscuits, some
cake and a lot of chocolate
bars. They drink quite a lot
of fruit juice, but there isn't
much fresh fruit although
there are some apples and
grapes and one or two
oranges. There aren't many
vegetables either.
They don't eat much meat,

just some chicken and
there isn't any fish either,
but they do eat a lot of
eggs. There aren't many
packaged snacks, just a
few bags of tortilla chips
and a little chocolate, and
there aren't any fizzy drinks
at all. There are a lot of
fresh vegetables and fruit,
especially tomatoes, carrots,
bananas, pineapples, green
beans and avocados.

The Aztecs and Incas ate a lot of cereals, beans and

fruit and not much meat at all. In classical India most
people didn't eat meat and the Japanese were mainly
vegetarian until a few generations ago. The main
food of the slaves who built the Pyramids was boiled
onions! Even today, some societies whose lifestyles are

Dear Sir/ Madam,
CD I am writing to complain about the quality of the service and the food at your pizzeria.
My girlfriend and I ordered a cheese and tomato pizza and a cheese and salami pizza at 8.15 last night. The girl
CD who
answered the phone told us to wait half an hour for the pizzas to arrive . Unfortunately the pizzas did not
arrive until 9.50 p.m., 95 minutes later. To make matters worse, when we woke up this morning we were both
feeling very ill. Neither of us could go to work today because we both had terrible stomach pains . We are certain
that the pizzas are to blame .
I feel that you should improve the quality of your service. It is unacceptable that customers have to wait so long
for their orders. More importantly, I also think you should check the freshness of your ingredients.
I believe I should receive a refund of 1::7 .50 and an apology. If I do not receive a satisfactory reply, I am afraid that
I am going to contact the local media about this matter. I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Decian Brown

century ...
TRANSPORT
Flying will be as normal as
travelling b y car or train. Large
aeroplanes (perhaps with atomic
engines) may fly at more than
1,000 miles' an hour. In 2000 we
will be able to fly around the world
in one day - we will be neighbours
with everyone else on Earth. We
will use radio-controlled missiles
to deliver letters and parcels
across the world. It is possible that
hybrid car-planes will be popular.
MEDIAAND
COMMUNICATIONS
By 2000, a small man-made
planet will circle Earth, 400 miles
up. It will get its power from
the sun and perhaps we will use
it to reflect radar or television
signals around the world.
3-D colour television will be
very common b y 2000. A small
gadget will project realistic

pictures on the living room wall
and the images will almost seem
alive. Films will still be popular
and almost all of them will be in
colour. Westerns, musicals and
historical films will still be with
us. There certainly won't be so
many cinemas in our towns - it
is possible that people one day
will pay to watch films in the
comfort of their living rooms.
Radio stations probably won't
exist because nobody will want
programmes without pictures.
Telephones will use radio signals
so it will be possible to use them
even outside the home.

[[] Ben Southall is the caretaker

of a tropical island. His job involves
swimming, relaxing, making friends
with the local people, exploring other
islands and having a good time.
He also has to write a blog and take photos and
videos of the island to show the world what a
wonderful place it is. It's a full-time job, but
he can turn up for work when he wants to and
choose to have a break any time he feels tired.
He earns a monthly salary

It's a dream job except for one thing. It isn't

o=J
To get the job Ben had to win a competition with

almost 35,000 applicants from over 200 countries. In his
application video he said he loved travelling and adventure
and enjoyed talking to people. He included pictures of himself
trekking in Africa, riding an ostrich, bungee jumping,
scuba diving and kissing a giraffe.
The job interview for the sixteen finalists in the competition
took place on the island and lasted for four days. They had to
answer questions and show they could snorkel, swim, organise
barbecues and write entertaining blogs. Ben managed to impress
the organisers with his imagination, his energy, his ability to deal
with difficult situations and his love for Queensland.
Ben, who is thirty-four years old and comes from

Hampshire in the UK, used to work as a tour guide in Africa
and as a charity worker. He is, of course , delighted that he won
the competition and is absolutely certain that he has the best
job in the world. However, Ben is not the only winner. The
competition cost Tourism Queensland 1.7 million Australian
dollars to organise. But the publicity it brought to the region
was worth over 110 million Australian dollars!
a=J The job was the prize in a competition

that Ben's employers, Tourism Queensland,
organised to attract tourists to the Great Barrier
Reef. Ben's new home, Hamilton Island , is in
the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland , northeastern Australia. It is a beautiful island very
near the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It also
has the largest airport in the area and frequent
ferries to the mainland. So it is the perfect place
for tourists to stay when they want to visit the
wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.

n a poor district near Lima a young m~n steps out

of his home - a tiny house With a plastlc roof. He
looks up at the early morning sky. Another day with
no sunshine. The weather has been terrible recenrly.
He can't remember the last time he saw the sun.
Heavy grey clouds fill the sky and his heart feels cold
with sadness. There's no sunshine when she's gone, he
thinks. There's only darkness every day. And she hasn't
called for so long. He wonders if she's gone for ever,
He tries to imagine life without her. What if she stays
over there in Madrid cleaning the houses of the rich~
I He turns as he hears a noise; one of the children is
waking up. 2 They miss her so much. The hou~e just
isn't a home without her. Every day they ask him,
'When is Mama coming home?' And what can he sa)':
' One day. Soon, my baby.' 'l\nd why isn't 3 she here,
Papa?' Why? Because ' they need the mon.ey, and there
are no jobs, and 6 over there she can earn 10 a day

Johnny Depp dropped out of school to become

a rock musician and he only became an actor by
accident when he was introduced to Nicolas Cage by
his wife. He started working as a TV actor and quickly
became a teen idol , a status which he hated. In 1990
he was offered the lead role in Tim Burton's Edward
Scissorhands, a fantasy film. Twenty-seven-year-old
Depp played Edward , an artificial man with scissors
for hands who ends up living in suburban America.
The film was a box office hit and got very positive
reviews. People started to take Depp seriously as
an actor and since then he has continued to play
eccentric, memorable characters.
Penelope Cruz trained as a ballet dancer in Madrid

before working as a TV presenter and finally, at the
age of eighteen , acting in films. In one of her first
Spanish films , Cruz played the part of Sofia in Open
Your Eyes , a psychological thriller about a man
who has disorienting experiences after a car crash.
Five years later, American director Cameron Crowe
remade the film as Vanilla Sky and Cruz was given the
chance to play Sofia again . Although Vanilla Sky got
terrible reviews and was only a modest commercial
success, it was seen by many more people than the
Spanish version (Tom Cruise starred in the Hollywood
fi lm) . Cruz, who speaks four languages, quickly
became a global superstar.
As a child, Orlando was encouraged by his mother to

take drama classes and he eventually studied at
London's Guildhall School, one of the UK's top drama
schools. Two days after graduating , he was given the
role of Legolas in The Fellowship of the Ring, the first
of the three Lord of the Rings fantasy films. As
Legolas, Bloom had to perform many stunts during
battle scenes and he even broke a bone after falling
off a horse. The film was praised by critics, especially
for its spectacular special effects, and won four
Oscars. Bloom went from being an unknown
twenty-four-year-old actor to a well-known celebrity.
He has continued to appear in major films such as
Pirates of the Caribbean .
Keira Knightley grew up in London and began her

acting career on TV in her teens. Her first film role was
in the science-fiction epic Star Wars Episode I.
However, it was her role in the British comedy Bend It
Like Beckham that made her a star. Today Keira is
famous for her glamorous roles in Pirates of the
Caribbean and Pride and Prejudice , but in the 2002
film she played an ordinary teenage girl. The plot
follows the friendship between Jess, a football-mad
Sikh girl and Jules, played by Knightley, who both
dream of becoming professional footballers. With its
amusing dialogue and happy ending the film was a
big hit, received enthusiastic reviews and won several
international awards .

Waterworld (1995)
This science-fiction film starred Kevin
Costner, who was also the film's producer.
There were many problems during the making
of the film: the expensive 1,000 ton set was
destroyed by a hurricane, and there were
some unlucky accidents in which actors,
including Costner, were almost killed. The
film finally cost $175 million to make but only
earned $88 million at the US box office.

A gang of fourteen robbers

broke into a bank in Naples
and entered the basement.
They were hoping to steal
millions of dollars from the
8,000 safety deposit boxes
there . But the men had an
unpleasant surprise .
EzedrickJones, 18, tried to

rob a fast-food restaurant in
Tennessee. Although he was
wearing a mask, Ezedrick
was quickly recognised and
arrested soon afterwards.
A Detroit burglar arrived

home after a 'successful'
night. He was shocked
when a few seconds later he
opened the front door and
saw his very happy dog ...
and the police .
Neighbours in the city of

Baku could hear music
coming from an empty flat
and decided to call the police.
When the police arrived
the thief didn't even try to
escape.
The man had left his

dog outside the house
he had burgled . When
t he police arrived, they
shouted 'Home boy!' and
the dog happily led the
police officer straight to the
burglar's house.
The guard with the key to

the boxes had gone for a
coffee and they couldn't
find him. They hadn't
prepared an alternative
plan so they left with
almost nothing.
After he had broken into

the flat, the thief decided
to make himself at home.
First, he had a bath, and
then he had something to
eat and drink. After he had
finished his dinner, he saw
a piano in the corner and
started playing it. He was
still singing songs when the
police arrived.
Had Ezedrick appeared

on N and that's why staff
recogn ised him? No, he
hadn't. He had actually
just lost his job at the
restaurant. During the
crime the manager kept
on saying to him, 'Why are
you doing this, Ezedrick?'

There are con ai1ists about!
I WAS reading in the park when a man
with a dog walked by. He asked me if I
would look after his dog for an hour while
he went to visit his sick mother in hospital.
I said I would. After he left, another man
walked by. 'Nice dog,' he said. He told me
he was a vet and that the dog was very
valuable and could cost as much as 1,000.
When the first man returned from the
hospital, he explained that he had just lost
his job and was hard up . I offered to buy the
dog and finally we agreed on a price of
200 . I got the money from a cashpoint and
paid the man. I really wanted to help him,
but I also thought it was a fast way to make
money. Later, I found out there was nothing
special about the dog at all. I'd learnt an
important lesson: there's no such thing as
easy money.
Marlene Rabanser. Swansea
I WAS in New York on holiday and I saw a crowd standing

around a young man on a street. The man was holding up
three playing cards, one of which was a Queen ..He put the
cards face down on a table and moved them around very
quickly for a few seconds. Then he invited anyone in the
. crowd to 'find the lady' (the Queen). No one wanted to play,
perhaps because they were scared of losing their money, but
then a young woman bet $10 and won. It looked easy so I
decided to try my luck. The first time I won and the
second time too, butthen I started losing. In the end I lost $90
before the young man vanished with my money. The young
woman, who was clearly his accomplice, also disappeared.
The truth is you can only beat a con artist when he wants
you to win.
A FEW months ago I received an email

from
Mr Alika who said he worked for a
bank in Nigeria. In the email he explained
that three months before a foreigner had
deposited . $40 million in the bank. The
next day the 'wealthy foreigner had died in a
plane crash. The money was still in the bank.
Mr Alika explained that he was writing to me
because I had the same name and nationality
as the dead man. He said that if I sent him
$500, he would open an account in my name
and transfer the $40 million to the new
account. Then he promised we would ~
the money fifty-fifty. It was clearly a con, so
I called the police straightaway.

1 The author believes that typical armchair

football fans
a are probably friends with referees or
football managers.
b understand the game better than TV
commentators.
c are only interested in players from their
own countries.
d probably don't play football.
by Sara Copins
hey often have advice for some of the world's

top referees and international football managers.
They have opinions (usually negative) on most
of the world 's major football players. They can
remember more scores than TV football commentators .
And they probably haven 't kicked a ball since
primary school. Yes, it's that strange beast, the
armchair football fan . In the same way that the back
seat driver gives instructions to the driver in the fro nt
seat but may not even have a driving licence, the
armchair football fan knows how to win every match
but was probably the last person to be chosen for the
school football team.
2 An armchair football fan is similar to a back

seat driver because they
a spend a lot of time sitting down.
b are both very talkative.
c usually have more knowledge than skill.
d are very big-headed.
My brother is a very good example. Like all his friends ,

Ross never leaves the house without hi s football shirt,
scarf, tracksuit trousers and trainers. Looking at him,
you might think he was on his way to football training
at the stadium. But no, the only exercise Ross does
is when he occasionally has to run for the bus in the
morning. He often complains that he has no head for
remembering facts and isn ' t . interested in History and
yet he can remember that Aberdeen beat Lech Poznan
3-0. in the 1983 European Cup, twelve years befo re
he was even born. He can remember who scored the
second goal in the third match of last season but he
finds it hard to memorise a few words for his French
vocabulary tests .
Is it just a harmless obsession? In most cases, it
probably is. I'm certainly not too worried about Ross
at the moment. But we mustn ' t forget that there 's also a
more worrying side to being an armchair fan. Doctors
say that you should exercise for at least half an hour,
three times a week but statistics suggest that armchair
sports fans are some of the unhealthiest people around
and many are unwilling to exerc ise at all. What's more,
watching sport can make you ill. Amazingly, doctors at
Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the city's major hospital ,
had to treat more than 150 patients who got ill while
watching football at home during the 1998 World
Cup. Problems included asthma, hyperventilation,
heart attacks,. temporary deafness and even mental
problems. Similarly, researchers in the Netherlands
found that the number of men who had heart attacks
went up fifty percent on the day of an international
football match. So it seems that although sport is good
for us, being sports mad probably isn ' t.
Read the article again and choose the correct answer.
3 The author's brother

a has a terrible memory.
b wears sporty clothes.
c hopes to become a professional
football player.
d is hopeless at French and History.
4 It is true to say that
a sports fans are as unhealthy as most
10
other people.
b you should exercise no more than an hour
and a half a week.
c many sports fans don't exercise even for
short periods.
d heart attacks are the most common
problem for sports fans .

ome aspects of school life date back to the nineteenth century.

One example is the school assembly, a meeting of the whole school
every morning before classes. Another is school uniform, which is still
very common - about I fifteen percent / fifty percent of pupils in England
wear school uniform.
The school day in both primary and secondary schools is fixed - the first
lesson begins at 9.15 a.m. and classes end at 2 2.30 p.m. /3.30 p.m. every
day. Classes on Saturdays are very unusual.
Compared with many countries, pupils in England specialise quite early.
Pupils study many subjects until the age of fourteen, but then they usually
study only three subjects during the last 3 two / three years of school.
Sport is an important part of school life. P.E. is compulsory. Typically boys
play football or rugby in winter and cricket in spring; and girls usually do
aerobics or play 4 basketball / netball.
England was one of the last countries to stop using corporal punishment
in schools (it only became illegal in 1985). Nowadays teachers can punish
their students with lines or detention, which means that students have to
5 stay after school / do extra homework.

When most people go to the theatre, they sit down to enjoy the play. However, 400 years ago it was very
different. Only rich people could pay for a seat in William Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Poorer people paid
a penny to stand in front of the stage. They were called 'groundlings'. A replica of the Globe opened in 1997
and now shows Shakespeare plays from May to September. Seats cost 12-33, but groundlings only pay
5. And they get the best view too!
Ben Lawers is not a very high mountain; it is only 1,214 metres above sea level. However, on a clear day
from the top you can see both the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. The UK is a long
narrow country and the distance from coast to coast in this part of Scotland is just over 150 km .
When you think of surfing, you think of Hawaii or Australia, not the UK. But Fistral Beach in Newquay,
Cornwall is one of the best surfing beaches in the world . The beach is long (750 m), straight and offers the
high waves that surfers love. International surfing competitions take place there and you can hire surfboards
and wetsuits if you want to try it yourself.
Horse racing is popular in the UK and every June over 300,000 people go to the races at Royal Ascot. The
meeting, which dates from 1711, is an important event for the British social elite and the Queen and other
members of the royal family always attend. Many spectators seem more interested in their clothes, particularly
their hats, than they are in the horses.
An eisteddfod is a Welsh arts festival in which singers, poets, dancers, actors and musicians participate in
competitions. It is an ancient tradition that dates from the 12th century or earlier. The International Eisteddfod
is in Llangolien in July, but the most important eisteddfod is the eight-day-Iong National Eisteddfod of Wales in
August. It is Europe 's largest competitive festival of music and poetry. The participants speak only in Welsh.

THE LONDON
UNDERGROUND
'DIDYOU KNOW?
~

The Tube logo with its red circle and blue bar has become a
symbol of pop culture and is used to advertise all sorts of things
from language schools in Poland to cafes in Australia.
The Tube map was designed by Harry Beck in 1933 . He
believed that passengers were only interested in how to get from
one station to another and where to change lines, and didn 't
care if the map was realistic or not. So he drew a map that did
not show real di stances but was simple to read. His idea has
inspired many similar maps around the world.
During the Second World War Tube stations were used as
shelters to protect Londoners from German bombs.
The longest line is the Central line. It is 74 km long and it takes
I hour 28 minutes to go from one end to the other.
The longest escalator in Western Europe (318 steps) is at Angel
station. It takes 80 seconds to carry passengers up or down.
On average the air in the London Underground is lOoC hotter
than the air outside. Temperatures as high as 4TC were reported
in the summer of 2006.
There are perhaps half a million mice living in the London
Underground. You can often see them running around the tracks .
There are also stories of ghosts living in the Underground. On
the platforms of Bank station the ' Black Nun' looks for her
brother, a bank worker who was executed in 1811 . And an
Ancient Egyptian walks a secret tunnel from the Egyptian room
of the Briti s h Mu seum to Holborn s tation .

Then listen and check. What kind of room is the person
describing?

I really love this room - it's very bright and

1 cosy / uncomfortable. It's 2 downstairs / upstairs
on the first floor. You get a wonderful view of the
trees in the back garden from the window. There's
a big 3 skylight / attic too, so you get a lot of
sunshine in here in the mornings, which I love. It's
not very 4 roomy / tiny but I think it's big enough
for one person. It can be rather cold in winter, so I
have to turn on the 5freezer / heater sometimes.
I like the decoration; it's quite tasteful. There are a
lot of colourful posters on the 6fioor / door and an
7 ugly / attractive old Indian rug. There's a lamp
in the corner, a large desk where I keep my
computer and printer and a 8 chest of drawers /
bookshelf for my books. There's a comfortable old
9 armchair / stool too.
Sometimes I sit and listen to music in the evenings,
especially when my girlfriend goes to bed early.
But most of the time I work in here. I'm finishing
my studies so I've got a lot of work to do. I used
to just work in the bedroom but we decided it was
better to have another room where I could work
in peace.
The photo shows a housing estate in a city. I don't

know where it is exactly but it might be somewhere
in Europe. Perhaps it's in Germany or it might be
Sweden. There are some blocks of flats - one on
the left and some more in the background. The
blocks of fiats look really colourful and there is a
lot of grass and trees. Some of the balconies have
flowers on them. There might be a school with a
playground on the right but I'm not sure. In the
foreground there's a woman with a big rucksack.
She's wearing shorts and a sun hat and she's
walking through the estate. She looks like a typical
tourist. It's surprising because the housing estate
doesn't look like a typical place for tourists to visit.
Perhaps she's lost! The estate seems quiet and
pleasant - it's probably quite a nice place to live.
