Joe 28, a flight attendant

Last October, I went on vacation to Thailand for two weeks with my girlfriend, Mia.

The vacation began we ll. We spent two days in Bangkok and saw the Floating Market and the Roya l Palace. But things went wrong when we left Bangkok. I wanted to stay in hostels, which were basic but clean, but Mia said they were too uncomfortable. So we stayed in very expensive hotels. r wanted to experience the local atmosphere. but Mia just wanted to go shopping. I thought I knew Mia well, but you don't know a person unti l you travel with him or her. It was awful! We argued about everything.

For our last four days we went to Ko Chang. a beautiful island. It was like being in paradise. The weather was beautiful and the beaches were wonderful, but we just sunbathed without speaking. We spent our last night back in Bangkok, and we met some travelers from Australia. They were really friendly, and Mia started flirting with one of the boys. That was the end.

Laura 26, a nurse Last spring, my best friend Isabelle and 1 booked a vacat ion in Costa Rica. We rented

cc I'd love to go back to Costa Rica one day ... but without Linda. " a small house for a week. wit h a fantastic view

of the ocean. At the last minute another friend, Linda. asked jf she could come, too. We fe lt sorry for her because she had problems with her boyfriend, so we said yes.

Costa Rica was magical and the weather was perfect. but the vacation was a disaster for one simple reason: Linda was so cheap! She has a good job so she's not poor, but she just didn't want to pay for anything. When we went

sightseeing. she didn't want to go on any cruises or do any nature act ivities that cost money. When we went on a zipl ine tour, she complained that it was too expensive. When we went to have lunch or dinner, she always wanted to go to cheap restaurants or she bought a sandwich and ate it in the house. But the night I invited her and Isabelle out on my birthday, she chose the most expensive things on the menu! The worst thing was that although Isabelle and I paid for the house, Linda never once bought us a coffee or a snack .

I'd love to go back to Costa Rica one day ... but without Linda.

On NQVember 4th, I arrived in Chicago late in the evening. I wanted to photograph Barack Obama and his family in the convention center, but when I got there I discovered that I didn't

have my press pass and I couldn't go inside. I walked around the park outside the center. Although it was November, it was a warm night. The atmosphere was wonderful. When I took this photo, everybody was looking at the TV screens waiting for the election results. some people were quietly holding hands and smiling - others were tense and nervous. They felt that it was their moment. Suddenly, I realized that this was a better place to be than inside. I was watching Obama's victory through the faces of all these people, African, Hispanic, Chinese, white. At about 11 o'clock the results were announced, and everybody went crazy. people started laughing, shouting, and crying. But when Obama made his speech they all became quiet and emotional. There was only one place to be on the planet that night - and I was there.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS TEXT?

b Read the article again. Mark the sentences T (true) or F (false)

The journalist saw rourists raking photographs of works of art in Rome and New York.

2 \Vhen he first saw people taking photos in rhe MOMA, he didn't understand what they were really doing.

3 Then he realized that the photographers were not looking at rhe painrings.

4 They were raking phoros because they wanted to look at the paintings later.

5 Later a couple asked him co take a photo of rh cm in front of a pai nti ng.

6 He suggests twO possible ways of solving the problem.

c Look at the high lighted words in the text. Guess their meaning from the context. Check with your teacher or with a dictionary.

The first time I noticed this phenomenon was a few years ago, in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome - a crowd of people ... standing around Michelangelo's Pier&., taking photos with

their cameras and cell phones. Then last week I saw it again at the Museum of Modern Art (the MO MA) in New York City. At first, I wasn't too worried when I saw people photographing the paintings. It was a little irritating, but that was all. It didn't make me angry. Then the sad truth hit me. Most of the people were taking photos without looking at the paintings themselves. People were pushing me, not because they were trying to get a better view of the art, but because they wanted to make sure that no one blocked their photo. Was it possible that maybe they were taking the photos so that they could admire the paintings better when they got home? This was very improbable. They were not there to see the paintings, but to take photos to prove that they had been there.

Then it got worse. Now people were taking photos of their partners or friends who were posing next to, or in front of some of the most famous paintings. Neither the photographers nor the person they were photographing had looked at the art itself, although I saw that sometimes they read the label, to make sure that the artist really was famous. At least nobody asked me to take a picture of them together, smiling in front of a Picasso!

I think that photography in museums should be banned, but I also have a less drastic solution. I think that people who want to take a photo of an exhibit should be forced to look at it first , for at least one minute.

900 new . '. . in 3 months

Everyone knows the English language is changing. Every three mont hs. the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) publishes updates to its online dictionary.

One recent update contained 900 new words, new expressions. or new meanings for existing words. But where do they all come from?

New words are created in many different ways. We can make a new word by combin ing t wo words. like gastropub (gastronomy + pub) or emoticon (emotion + icon). Sometimes we put two words together in a new way. for example. road rage or boy toy.

We also find that nouns can change into verbs. Take the word t ext . Text was always a noun (from about 1369, according to the OED), but it is now very common as a verb, to text somebody. Other new words al ready existed, but with a djfferent meaning. For example, tweet was the noise that a bird makes, but now we use it more often (as a verb or a noun) for a message that people put on the social net working site Twitter.

Another way in which we make new words is by "adopting" words from foreign la nguages, like barista or latte (imported from Italian when coffee shops became really popular in the US in the 1990s).

A lot of new words come from the names of brands or companies , for example, we play music on an iPod and we google information. We also need more general words to describe new technology or new gadgets: Wi·Fi, ri ngt"n" , ~ and smartphone are some recent examples.

The invention of new words is not a new phenome no n. The word brunch (breakfast + lunch) first appeared in 1896. newspaper (news + paper) in 1667, and English speakers started to use the wo rd cafe (from French) in the late 19th century. The difference now is how quickly new words and expressions enter the language and how quick ly we start to use and understand them.

WHAT DID YOU 1'~#~."4 DO ON THE WEEKEND? - e next time a friend or co-worker tells you about

A survey of 5,000 adults has shown that one person In

four invents details about their weekend because they want to impress their friends. When they are asked,

you have a good weekend'" they don't like to say that Just stayed at home and watched TV because it sounds

'flg. So they invent the details. The most common lie that 'VIe told was "I went out on Saturday night," when really

didn't go anywhere. Other common lies were "I had a rTtantic dinner," "I went to a party," and "I went away for eweekend ."

fact, in the survey, 30% of people who answered the esbons said that they spent their weekend sleeping or

ng because they were so tired at the end of the week.

other 30% said that they needed to work or study on , weekend. Psychologist Corinne Sweet says that people en don't tell the truth about their weekend "because we "t want to feel that everyone else is having a better time

an us, if we have had a boring weekend doing housework, _-oerwork, or just resting after a tiring week at work." She also

!eves that networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter ;:ry be encouraging us to invent details about our social lives.

People can create an illusion of who they want to be and the they want to live," says Corinne, "and of course they want

Everything BAD is MI!I] I] for you COFFEE We all know that a cup of coffee helps to wake yo up in the morning, but several studies show that drinking coffee helps to prevent some illnesses like diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Experts say that you can safely drink three cups of espresso during the day, but jf you drink too much coffee it can make you feel anxious or keep you awake at night.

SUNLIGHT Spending a long time in the sun is dangerou, and can give you skin cancer. But on the other hand, not spending enough time in the sun is also bad for you because sunlight helps us to produce vitamin D. This vitamin is important for strong bones and a healthy immune system, and it also make' people feel happier. Nowadays, many people don't get enough sunlight because they wear sunscreen all the time, especially on their faces. However, don't spend too long in the sun - 15 minute a day without sunscreen is a healthy amount, and not at midday.

COMPUTER GAMES You probably worry about hov much time you or your children waste playing computer games. But in fact some studies show that these games can help us learr important skills. It seems that computer games stimulate the brain and that people who often play them are probably better

at solving problems and making quick decisions. But don't spend too many hours in front of the computer - not

more than about two hours a day.

Problem A Three weeks ago, I asked my girlfriend to marry me - we have been together for 18 months. It was an impulse, but now I am having second thoughts. I am deeply in love with her, but is this too soon? Please help.

Problem B My wife is running her fi rst marathon in Orlando, Florida, and she really wants me to go and watch her. However, there is a business conference in New York the same weekend, and my boss would like me to attend. What should I do?

Problem C My wife wants us to spend two weeks in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in the summer with her family, but I find her father really difficult to get along with. Should 1 go and risk having arguments all the time or should r suggest separate vacations th is year?

Our readers' advice! 1 D This seems like an easy one - go, but try to avoid him where

possible, and if you can't avoid him, then just smile and don't get into a conversation.

2 D In my opinion, I don't think it's worth making problems at work. Why don't you suggest that she asks a girlfriend or afamily member to go with her instead?

3 D You should tell your wife how you feel. Be polite and, above all, bE honest. You do not have to like her father. if he really is difficult, everyone else will already know.

4 D You felt it was right at the time, butfor some reason now you are not sure. You clearly love this girl, and I think you should go for it. I got married after four months of dating, and we celebrated 30 years together this year.

S D You should be there. Maybe this is a once-in-a-lifetime momentfor her. You can always keep in touch with co-workers on your phone.

S D You shouldn't do anything in a hurry. Set a date 18 monthsfrom now which will give you time to be sure you're doing the right thing. And don't plan too much. If you start booking restaurants and getting clothes for the big day, it will make things worse if you then change your mind.

Harrley took the piece of paper. On it were the words "Vivienne Arlington, No. 341 East 49th Street."

"She moved there a week ago," said the detective. "I can follow her if yOll want. It will only cost you $7 a day and expenses .. . "

"No, thank you," in terrupted Harrley. " I on ly wanted the address. How much is it?"

10 "One day's work," said the detective. "Ten dollars." HarrIey paid the man. Then he left the office and

took a tram to Broadway. After walking a short distance he arrived at the building that he was looking for. Harrley rang the bell. The door opened.

b Read the article again and check the reasons why, according to the writcr, some Americans arc bad at languages.

=:] America ns rarely travel abroad.

2 0 English isan international language.

3 D Americans who live abroad often find the local language tOO difficult co learn.

4 0 Americans who live abroad often don't socialize with the local people.

S D Language teachers in American schools are not very good.

6 0 Many American middle schools don't have fore ign. language [cachers.

7 0 American children don 't know enough about their own grammar.

S D Americans don't want to waste money learning languages.

c Look at the highlighted words or phrases in the text. Guess their meaning from the context. Check w ith your teacher or with a dictionary.

Why are some Americans so bad at Learning Languages? Mtchael Reece has lived and worked in France for fifteen years.

1ft ome Americans are bad at speaking foreign languages. It's ' a fact. In any city around the world, you can find American --=-- t ourists asking for the restaurant menu in English. At best , they will try to say a coupLe of phrases they have Learned from a phrase book, but they will stop making an effort the moment they discover the waiter knows a littLe English.

I read a survey once that found that only 20 percent of Americans couLd speak a Language other than EngLish in thei r own homes. So why is this? I think La ziness is possibly the key factor. There is a generaL feeling among Americans that "everyone speaks English nowadays, so it's not worth Learning other Languages.~ In multinationaL companies, EngLish is often the official Language of communication with the company. ALso, Americans w ho Live abroad can aLways find ot her American expatriat es to talk to or to watch American TV with-alL reasons for never bothering to Learn the LocaL Language.

The sit uation in American schooLs doesn't heLp. In 1997, about 75 percent of American public middLe schooLs offered foreign Languages. Today, that number has gone down to 58 percent. And even the few students who study foreign languages at schooL don't have as many hours of classes as students in other count ries. I think it is also a problem that American chiLdren don't study English grammar any more, which makes it more dif ficul t for them to Learn the grammar of another Language.

2 Doctors have created a new drug to cure phobias.

3 In exposure therapy, people lea rn to relax when they are exposed to someth ing they are afraid o f.

4 Exposure therapy is always successful.

5 T he drug affects the way people learn and remember things.

6 T he study showed that the drug helped people to lose thei r fear.

Scared of spiders? Take this pill. There are many different kinds of phobias, I and they affect at Least a quarter of the

population. But doctors believe that they may soon have a cure. They have discovered that a drug, which is given to patients suffering from tuberculosis, can aLso help peopLe to overcome their phobias.

The normal treatment for people with strong phobias is some kind of exposure therapy. The most commonLy used exposure therapy invoLves graduatly exposing peopLe to the object or situation that produces the fear. For exampLe, if you have a dentist phobia, you might first sit in the waiting room of a dentist, then talk to the dentist, and then sit in the dentist's chair. These exposures are combined with relaxation techniques.

However, exposure therapy does not work for everybody, and doctors think that the new drug, which causes changes to a part of the brain that is used in Learning and memory, could be used in the future to make this therapy more effective. Michael Davis at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia did a study with 30 acrophobics­peopLe who are scared of heights - and put them in a gLass elevator that appeared to go up and down. The peopLe who were given the pill feLt much less afraid then those who took a placebo.

4 " Professor Mark Lepper at Stanford University in the US found that people who tried six kinds of jam felt happier with their choice than those who were offered 24 to taste.

5 . Professor Lepper suggests that we should try to relax when we have to choose something to buy. "Don't take these choices too seriously or it will become stressful," he says.

2 The dolphins were doing strange things. 3 Mr. Howes and Helen were separated from the other

6 Mr. Howes understood that the dolphins were trying to help them.

9 An expert said that dolphins often behave in this way.

e Look at the highlighted words or phrases in the text. Guess their meaning from the context. Check with your teacher or with a dictionary.

Lifeguard Rob Howes, his daughter Niccy, 15, Karina Cooper, 15, and Helen Slade, 16, were swimming over 300 feet out to sea

at Ocean Beach in New Zealand when suddenly seven dolphins swam toward them.

aThey were behaving really weirdly,~ Mr. Howes said, "swimming in circles around us, and hitting the water with thei r tails.~ One

dolphin swam toward Mr. Howes and Helen, who were about 65 feet away from the other two, and was trying to push them :oward the other two girls.

aThen suddenly I saw another huge fish swimming around me and Helen ,~ said Mr. Howes. It was in fact a 9 foot4 10ng great Nhite shark .

~It was only about six feet away from us," he said. At that point, I-te realized that the dolphins "were trying to herd the four of us together to protect us."

The shark t hen went toward the other two girls. Mr. Howes was terrified, especially because one of the swimmers was his daughter.

Sut the dolphins pushed the four swimmers back together and circled around them for another 40 minutes. Mr. Howes decided !lot to tell the three girls a shark was sharing the water with them.

Fortunately, the shark f inally swam away, and the swimmers all reached the beach safely.

- 1 swim with dolphins perhaps three or four t imes a year, and have never seen them behave like that," said Mr. Howes.

However, dolphin expert Ingrid Visser said that there have been her reports from around the wor ld about dolphins protecting

swimmers. She said that, in this case, t he dolphins probably sensed :he humans were in danger and took act ion to protect t hem.

"I have no intention of paying a salary to somebody who has ru ined Italian soccer." Gaucci later apologized, but Ahn jung-Hwan left the club and never went back t o an Italian club.

When England won the Rugby World Cup in 2003 by beating Australia in the last minute of the match, the Australian Prime minister. John Howard, was so angry that in the medals ceremony he almost th rew the medals at the English players. His behavior was described by a journalist as being "like an unhappy five-year-old at a birt hday party who starts throwing toys around."

I get up at 4:45 a.m. and leave the house at 5:20.

3 __ ~-------It depends - some mornings I feel rested and awake, but other mornings it's hard to get out of bed. It depends on the season. I find I need much more sleep in the winter.

If I'm slow to get up, then I wait until I'm in the studio before having breakfast, but most mornings I have a bowl of cereal before I leave the house.

'---That depends on the season, too. In the summer I usually wait until the morning to decide. But in the winter I often leave clothes out the night before so that I can stay in bed until the last minute!

'---What social life? I certainly can't go out for a wild night during the week, but I'm lucky because a lot of my closest friends live near me, so I can see them in the evenings and still go to bed early.

Sometimes I think I would like to have more normal working hours, but I love my job so much that

I'd never want to give it up. The buzz of being "live" on the radio early in the morning as people start their days is really wonderful.

Professor McAndrew, a professor of psychology, believes that gossiping is in our genes, and we feeL pLeasure when we share interesting information. McAndrew says that gossiping is a SOCial skill, and we need to learn to do it weLL According to the professor, gossip can be a positive thing when people use it to build connections with other people in their sociaL group. But it can be a negative thing when somebody gossips about another person only to make themselves feel more important in the group.

Professor McAndrew's research aLso showed that people were happy to pass on good news but only if it was about a friend. They also enjoyed passing on negative information about other people when it was about somebody they disliked. i Another thing that the new study showed ..,

< was that men and women gossip differently. /l)

In generaL, the men in the study shared gossip g "­with their wives or girLfriends, but not with their ~

male friends . Women however, gossi ped with 0..

When Suzanne met Alistair Cotton at a swimming pool in 1995, they were amazed to discover that they both suffe red f rom the same extremely rare heart ...

condit ion. They started going out together and fe ll in love, but several months later, they discovered an even bigger coinci dence .

Almost twenty years earlier when they were child ren (Suzanne was seven and Alistair was fourteen), they had both had a lifesaving heart operation in the same hospital, on t he sa me day, performed by the same heart surgeon . After t hei r operat ions, they had spent several days recovering in the same hospital ward (although they have no memories of seei ng or speaking to each ot her.) They certainly had no idea that twenty years later they would meet and fall in love with the child in the next bed. Suzan ne, now 43, sai d, "We were very shocked by the coincidence, We were obviously destined to be together."

Al istair co nt inued to have difficulties wi th his heart, and he had to have another major heart operation. As soon as he woke up after the operation, he proposed to Suzanne, and the coup le got marr ied in 2002.

The following year, Suzanne became pregnant, and baby Hanna h was born in 2004 and is now a happy, healthy child who shows no signs of having inherited any heart problems from her parents, Suzanne sa id, "Many heart patients can't have ch i ld ren or their chi ld ren are bor n with heart problems themselves, so for our amazing story to have such a happy endi ng is just wonde rful."

SA HOW FAST IS YOUR LIFE? Students A+S

Check your partner's score and tell hi m o r her. Then read to see what it mea ns.

How to score: 1 point for never 2 points for sometimes 3 points for often

Is your score between 6 and 9? You are living life in the slow lane. Compared to most people, you take things easy and don't get stressed by modern-day living. You are patient, relaxed, and easygoing. Most of the time this is good news, but sometimes it can be a problem. For example, are you sometimes late for appointments?

Is your score between 10 and 14? You have a medium pace of life. You are probably somebody who can change the speed at which you live depending on the situation.

Is your score between 15 and 18? You are living life in the fast lane, rushing around and trying to do many different activities and projects at the same time. You are impatient and you find it difficult to relax. You are probably very productive, but your relationships and health could suffer as a result.

London The photo test I was near Charring (ross station. I stopped a man who was walking pretty slowly down the street, and I said, "Excuse me, could you take my photo?" The man said, "No, no, no time for that," and just continued walking. Then I asked a business man in a gray suit who was walking toward the train station. He took one photo, but when I asked him to take another one, he walked away qUickly.

The shopping test I went to a souvenir store on Oxford Street, and I bought a key ring and a red bus. The red bus was very expensive. The total price was Forty pounds. I gave the man a hundred pounds. He gave me Sixty pounds bac!_

The accident test For th is test, I went down into the Tube (the London Underground). As I went down the stairs, I fell down and sat on the floor. A man immediately stopped and looked down at me. I thought he was going to help me, but he didn't-he just said, "Why don't you look where you're going?"

V (slowly) Mr. Hartley, I don't know what to say to you. I understand all the advantages of your offer, and sometimes I feel sure that I could be happy with you. But then sometimes I am less sure. I was born a cit y girl, and I am not sure that I would enjoy living a quiet life in the suburbs.

The answer is b. Dogs like to attack any part of you that is moving, usually hands or arms. It is also dangerous to turn your back on the dog. You shouldn't look the dog in its eyes because this will make him angry. Shouting"down" o r "go away" at the dog will not work because dogs usually only react to their master's voice.

2 The answer is a . Bees will usually fly out of an open window. but don't wave your hands around as bees follow movement and might try to s ting you.

dress stylishLy but casually {no suits!}. If you are a woman, it's important not to dress too suggestiveLy. Don't wear too much perfume or aftershave!

• Choose a place that isn't too expensive {you don't know who is going to pay}. Try to go somewhere that isn't very noisy. e Don't be too romantic on a fi rst date. For example, arriving with a red rose on a first date isn't a good idea! o Remember to listen more than you talk. but don't let the conversation die . Silence is a killer on a first date! Be natural. Don't pretend to be somebody you aren't .

., If you are a man, be a gentleman and pay the check at the end of the evening. If you are a woman, offer to pay your half of the check (but don't insist!).

7 AN OPINION ESSAY

it Read the ;Held\: ,me." 00 yOIl .. gr ...... wi lh \\ h:u it says?

Every lime! turn on the teleVIsion. I'm sure 10 find a sports show on one of the channels. If I change channels, there will probably be a sports show or Cl sports report on other channels, too, especial ly on the weekend. lln my opinion there are definitely too many sports shows on TV for the following reasons.

2 • If you compare Sports with other TV shows, sports completely dominate. The on ly t ime you can watch ta lk shows or game shows or soap operas is on weekday mOl'nings or afternoons. This is not fair to people who like other kinds of TV shows, l __ dramas. polilca l shows. Or documentaries.

Secondly, the sports shows on TV are nOI only the important games. Every week they show boring games from college and even high school diVISions.

4 • I also believe that, on the weekend. most people want to relax in front of the televISIon. Many people, including me. don't like sportS. arid prefer to see good movies or funny comedy shows.

S , I think that even on news programs there IS too much in formation about sports. It is very annoying when they talk about sports for hours every day. especially when there are more important thIngs happening In Ihe world.

S , I thInk TV should show fewer sports shows. espe<:ially on the weekend. ' . it should show other kinds of shows and more movies. On news programs t hey should ta lk aoout important things that are happening in the world. nol about sports.

come at eight. Jack told Anna (that) he didn 't

want to go to the party.

Use reported speech to report (to tell somebody) what another person sa id.

We often introduce reported speech with said or raid (+ person)

After said or told that is optional. e.g., He said (tha t) li e loved me.

Pronouns often change in reported speech. e.g., I changes to lie or she. '"' I'm tired." S he laid me (that) she was tired.

12C questions without auxiliaries

subject Who Which singer How many people Who

verb painted made li ve wants

27 »)) Mr atld Mrs Cla rk arid Percy? reggae popu lar all over the world? near the school? a cup of co ffee?

Use the past perfect when you are already talking about the past and want to talk about an earlier past acrion.

Wlletl 1 lVoke up the yard lVas ail white. It had sno wed dl/ring the lIi8hl. = It snowed ~ I woke lip.

Make the past perfect with had I hadtl 't + past participle.

The form of the past perfect is the same for all persons.

Ilad is sometimes contracted to 'd.

P had or would? Be careful: 'd can be had or would. I didn't know that you'd found a new job. ('d = had) If you went by taxi, you'd get there more quickly. ('d = would)

• Verb tenses change like this:

direct speech I reported speech I WI can help you." He said (that) he could help me. (Simple present) (simple past)

"I 'm watching TV.H (present continuous)

"I'll call you." {will)

"I met a girl." (simple past)

She said (that) she was watching TV. (past continuous)

He told me (that) he wouLd call me. (would)

~---------------John told me (that) he had met a girl. (past perfect)

"I've broken my leg." ' Sara said (that) she had broken her leg. (present perfect) (past perfect)

P say or tell? You can use said or told in reported speech, but they are used differently. You can~t use said with an object or pronoun. He said (that) he loved me. NOT He .. aifIfflefthat) he loved me. You must use told with an object. He told me (that) he loved me. NOT He-ttlld (that) he love<fme.

When tbe question word (Who?, What?, Which?, How many? etc.) is the ~ of the verb in the question , we dwU use an auxiliary verb (do I does I did).

W ho painted Mr alld Mrs Clark arid Percy? NOT Villo ditipaillt . .. ?

In most other quest ions in the simple present and past, we use the auxiliary verb do I does I did + t he base form.
