5 It must be said that I was quite nervous about going to a completely unknown country, all by on myself, having to speak English 24 hours a day. But it turned out that my worries which were totally unjustified. You have to pay for your own travel costs and bring some pocket money but it's definitely worth every penny!
6 This incident actually happened a few years ago. One Saturday morning, when in a small English town, a man entered a shoe shop. For a few minutes he so carefully inspected some cowboy boots. Then he put his dirty old trainers on the floor and left the shop.

8 I spend about half of my time in my office, and the other half in court. I don't have customers. I have clients. They come to me with legal problems and I represent them. It's a so very demanding job, because you feel it responsible for what happens to your clients, but it is also very satisfying.
9 One of my clients was recently arrested for a crime he hadn't committed, and I was able to persuade the police what they'd made a mistake. It's a great feeling helping people when they there are in trouble.
10 The fax, I think, clearly has so enormous advantages over the past in that everything can be completed with greater. speed and without being the need to respond there and then and get caught chatting as happens on the phone.

12 I'm in a minority, I know, because if I don't possess a mobile phone. I've actually made a conscious decision that not to get one, which most people find strange, but I've never been the kind of person who follows trends.

14 Perhaps the most useful and convenient of all domestic appliances it is the microwave oven. You do not need to be a skilful cook or a technological genius how to operate one, and you can produce extremely tasty meals at the touch of a button.

20 Archaeologists feel it very excited when new discoveries are made because each new discovery tells them more about the past. A good example is the famous Iceman mummy which discovered in 1991 by hikers in the Alps.

22 South Africa is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and a favourite destination for them many travelers. If you visit it, make it sure you stop off in Cape Town. There is so much to see and do, you'll never get bored.
23 There's always something which happening in this exciting city, and it has great shops, too. The more adventurous can take a trip up Table Mountain or take a boat trip to see So great white sharks and seals. Cape Town has something for everybody.
24 My friends who are keen on wildlife, so this year we decided to go to Africa on holiday. The journey was tiring, so we hoped to go to bed as soon as we reached our hotel. However, we soon realised there was little hope of this. Our host had organised it a welcome party for us!
25 Most guests stayed until 2 a.m., but when we had to stay until daybreak. By the time I got to bed, I wasn't enough able to keep my eyes open. I had just closed my eyes when I heard a strange noise. A snake was crawling through the open window.
26 I was born in a small country town. When I was young it seemed as an ideal place to live. I had lots of friends to play with and I was happy. But, as I got more older, everything suddenly seemed a bit boring.
27 Then, when I was 16, we moved to London because of my father was offered a much better job in a big hospital in the city centre. I slowly realised so that there was a lot more to do in the city than in the country.

30 It is certainly true that in recent times money has become more and more important in sport. I think that in some ways this is not a good thing. People who seem to be involved in some sports just to make it money and not because they really care about the sport.
31 For example, some footballers get paid so an enormous amount of money but sometimes they don't seem to care about the team they are playing for, which makes the fans very angry. On the other hand, it could be argued about that the top players are so famous and under so much pressure both from fans and the media that they deserve the money they earn.
32 Are you in control of your mobile phone? Is it your friend or your enemy? Mobile phones which were supposed to make our lives easy. But maybe they have just made them more complicated and stressful. When 26-year-old Andy Barton was interrupted by his mobile phone as for the fourth time in fifteen minutes, a sudden rage came over him, and he threw the phone against a wall.
33 "The phone broke and I felt really happy," he said. "The thing was becoming a nuisance to me. My wife has thrown her phone away too, and she thinks about life is nice without it. Mobile phones had made it slaves of us. It sounds crazy, but I can assure you it's true."
34 I've just seen a film about two climbers who decided to go climbing in the mountains in Peru. It took them two days to reach the mountain they had been decided to climb because it was in a remote place. They left a companion and most of their supplies at base camp, optimistically thinking about they would be back in a couple of days.
35 After a difficult climb, they reached the top of the mountain. It was then that everything started to go wrong. Because of one climber had broken his leg, he had to be lowered down the mountain by means of a rope. His leg was so many painful that he couldn't stand on it. After a very exciting bit of the film, which I won't describe, he found himself alone at the bottom of a deep crack. He managed to climb out and eventually crawl to safety.
36 A colleague at work had a small boat in which every weekend he used to go sailing. He invited me and a friend of mine to go with him on a sailing trip. We imagined that ourselves sitting on the deck of the boat, near a beach, sunbathing and doing what we wanted. But the reality was such different.
37 Our friend, who owned the boat, was only happy at sea. As a result, there we were actually at sea most of the time. Whatever the weather we sailed on and on. We got a tan but not from the sun, it was from the strong winds which blew it cold sea water in our faces all day.
38 I was sitting in my taxi reading the morning newspaper when the alarm in the bank across it the street went off. I looked up and saw two masked men who running towards me.

41 What does he think of the rumours that he and Sophie are planning toget their married? "Every day I see things which written about me that aren't true. One day they say we're getting married and the next day that I'm seeing another woman. I just try to ignore all of it."
42 However, if they are hoping for something that sounds like his last album, they may be disappointed. So is James worried? Not there at all. "I need to grow as an artist and that means taking risks. I hope that never changes." Somehow, we don't think his fans who will be disappointed.

54 I’ve been studying French for six years and it’s still such quite difficult to understand native speakers, who often talk too quickly for me. One thing I find it useful is watching French films, which I enjoy doing. The English subtitles help me to pick up the French dialogue.
55 But when it’s a film that I’ve seen before, I already know how more or less what people are saying so I don’t use the subtitles. I find that the more you listen, the easier it gets. You really know you’re getting somewhere when you just hear the words both and don’t have to translate all the time.

61 These are the kind of people who they are now choosing to go on adventure holidays, where there are almost too many of things to do! Activities on offer include horse-riding, rock-climbing, windsurfing and scuba diving, depending on where the holiday centre is.
62 I’m so glad you’re going to be able to come and visit us in the summer. I’m really looking forward to be seeing you again. It must be about two years since we last met us! I hope you’re still keen on climbing and swimming, as we are planning to take you to my grandmother’s house in the mountains.
63 Her house is right on the edge of a big lake, so we’ll be able to go for swimming every day, as often as we want — as long as the weather is good, of course. The other great thing about the place is so that the neighbors have a speedboat and water-skiing equipment.

If you’re not particularly fit and don’t feel up to gymnastics or jogging, then gardening may be the hobby rather for you.
