The fi l m "Sense and Sensi bi l i ty" starri ng Emma
Thompson and Hugh Grant and di rected by Ang Lee,

Austen.
It tel l s the story of two si sters who are compl etel y
di fferent i n character, and thei r experi ences wi th the

"Sense

atmosphere of earl y 19th century Engl and, whi ch
hel ps the fi l m-goer to understand the reasons for
some of the characters' acti ons, and i s both humorous

(Special attention should be drawn to the layout of the
addresses and the use of commas and full stoos:
name, title, place of work, number of street, name of
street, town, country, day, month and year. lf the
recipient lives in the same country as the person who
sending the letter then we write only the name of the
town the person lives in (see oufllnes 2 and 3 p. 48
Student's Book). lf the recipient however, lives in
another country, then the names of the two countries
should appear in the addresses (see
outline 1
p.
48
Sludent's Book). We always leave one line blank after
the address before we start writing Dear... .
lf you write to a friend of yours, or to your brotherl
sister/cousin lniece,
you address himlher using Dear
and hislher name e.g. Dear Tom, not: Dear Friend,
Dear Mary not: Dear Sis ter or Dear Sister Mary) . lf you
write to an auntluncle of yours, you address himlher
using Dear + kind of relation + name e.g. Dear Uncle
Tom not: Dear Uncle. lf you write to your mum, dad,
grandpa or grandma, you write Dear + kind ot
relation (e.9. Dear Mum, Dear Grandma not: Dear
Mum Mary, DearGrandmaAnn). lnformal letters if you
know the name of the recipient (see Model 1 p.
49 in
Student's Book) you sign using Yours sincerely and
your full name. lf you don't know the name of the
recipient though, you sign using Yours faithtully and
your full name (see Model 1 p.

l efter of compl ai nt
Dear Si r / Madam,
I was a customer, al ong wi th several fri ends, at
your restaurant l ast week, and am wri ti ng to compl ai n
about the treatment we recei ved.
The manager was extremel y rude to us from the
moment we entered the restaurant, and we had to wai t
al most hal f an hour for a tabl e, al though we had
booked one.
Havi ng ordered our food, we were kept wai ti ng
al most an hour. When i t fi nal l y arri ved i t was so badl y
cooked that we had to send i t back. No apol ogy was
offered for the appal l i ng food, and we thus deci ded to
l eave the restaurant wi thout re-orderi ng.
Thi s i nci dent r ui ned our eveni ng, and I am wr i t i ng i n
the hope that some acti on wi l l be taken agai nst the
staff of vour restaurant.

Touri sm can al so dramati cal l y change the l and-

be argued that numerous si tes and monuments

The advantages and di sadvantages
of owni ng
a pet.
Owni ng a pet i s somethi ng that many peopl e
these
days deci de to do, mostl y due to the fact that, for most,
i t has more advantages than di sadvantaqes.
One of the mai n advantages of owni ngi pet i s that
rt can provi de
a much-needed sense of compani on_
shi p to those who woul d otherwi se be l i vi ng a l onel y
l i fe, for exampl e the el derl y. A pet wi l l al ways be a
fai thful and l oyal compani on and a val uabl e source of
comfort, and i t i s very common for
pet
owners to
oecome extremel y attached to thei r ani mal s; i n some
cases, more than they do to humans. Thi s i s under_
standabl e, because an ani mal wi l l never questi on
i ts
owner' s behavi our and wi l l al ways make them feel
val ued and l oved. l t was once sal d that
,,you
can tel l
by t he ki ndness of a dog how a human shoul d be. "
However. there are certai n di sadvantages to own_
rng a pet, parti cul arl y
for those who l i ve i n an urban
area. Thi s i s mai nl y due to the fact that there i s not
enough space i n smal l apartments to accommodate
a fami l y pl us
a pet. Added to thi s i s the fact that i t i s
cr uel t o keep an ani mal i n cr amped condi t i ons wher e
i t i s not abl e t o r un ar ound f r eel v.
Another Ci sadvantage of owni ng a pet i s the fact
that i t can cost a l ot of money. Food has to be bought,
and vet ' s f ees pai d,
among ot her t hi ngs.
I n concl usi on, al t hough t her e ar e a l ot of advan_
tages associ ated wi th owni ng a pet, they do not
al ways outwei gh the di sadvantages that some peopte
may face. As such, prospecti ve
owners shoul d care_

The quest i on

over the past
decade wi th the formati on of the Euro_

It can therefore be sai d that there are several very

However, there are al so several arguments agai nst

Whi l e some may have a natural tal ent for l an_

Pi cture A i s of some peopl e pl ayi ng pol o, whi ch i s a

fast and dangerous.

qui te dangerous. l t i s much safer than Formul a One
raci ng because i t i s very easy to crash whi l e raci ng a

Peopl e enj oy dangerous thi ngs because of the exci te-
ment they get from them. For some peopl e, knowi ng
that they coul d get hurt makes a spod more fun. Al so,
for peopl e who work i n an offi ce al l week dangerous

Pi cture C i s of a sea-cow, whi l e pi cture D i s of a

Yes, there are some endangered speci es i n my coun-
try, We used to have a l ot of bears i n the north of
Greece, but now there are onl y about 100 l eft. Wol ves,
and some speci es of eagl es are al so endangered,
al ong wi th sea-tuftl es.

A l ot of speci es become endangered because peopl e
hunt them. Organi sati ons can be set up to protect
these speci es from hunters, and governments can
make i t i l l egal for peopl e to ki l l them. Another reason
some speci es di e out i s that thei r habi tats are de-
stroyed. Thi s coul d al so be avoi ded by turni ng the

On the whol e, there has been a steady i ncrease i n
peopl e travel l i ng abroad over the l ast fi ve years.
Increased competi ti on between charter ai rl i nes has
l ed to a drop i n ai r fares, whi ch i s the reason why
students and young fami l i es have contri buted to 65%
of the growi ng travel market.
Schedul ed ai rl i nes are al so droppi ng thei rfares, max-
i ng i t possi bl e for peopl e to travel to more di stant
desti nati ons.
Hotel s
European hotel s i n

free accommodati on to chi l dren. Hotel booki ngs were
up by al most 30% thi s summer i n Greece, Spai n and
Ital y due to wel l -pl anned fami l y packages.
Concl usi on
The survey cl earl y shows that the trend towards
forei gn hol i days i s i ncreasi ng and wi l l conti nue to
i ncrease due to the now recogni sed need for cheaper
ai rfares, updated hotel servi ces and i mproved l aci l i -

Itwasabout3.00 p.m.
on Saturdayafternoon when
the acci dent happened. I pul l ed
up at the traffi c l i ghts
hal f way down Hami l ton Avenue and wai ted for them
to turn to green.
I wasn' t real l y payi ng much attenti on to what was
goi ng on outsi de because I was tryi ng to cal m my two
chi l dren down. They were fi ghti ng i n the back seat
and I coul dn' t concentrate. Suddenl y, however, a bl ue
Vol kswagon Beetl e screeched round the corner and
smashed ri ght i nto us. l t pushed my car ri ght onto the
pavement
because it was going so fast. There were
two young boys i n the car and when I got out to see
i f they were al l ri ght I coul d smel l that they had been
dri nki ng, and there were beer cans al l over the fl oor.
When I saw the dri ver tryi ng to starl the engi ne I
qui ckl ytook
the car keys out of the i gni ti on so thatthey
coul dn' t dri ve away.
Lucki l y someone saw what had happened and

Star Publ i cati ons
l ntroducti on
The ai m of thi s report i s to anal yse the resul ts of a
survey carri ed out regardi ng the magazi nes
publ i shed by our company.
Types
As other nati onal surveys have shown, speci al i sed
magazi nes are more popul ar than general ones. Thi s
i s demonstrated by the fact that of the 2,000 peopl e
surveyed, 80% sai d they regul arl y bought
"Tech-knowl edge", "Gami ng", and "Homecraft", whi l e
onl y 20% bought "Homemaker" and "Kerpow". An
excepti on to thi s trend was our chi l dren' s magazi ne,
"Sparkl e", whi ch was bought by nearl y hal f of those
i ntervi ewed.
Age Groups
The survey showed that the 30
-
40 age group bought
far more magazi nes than any other group, at nearl y
60%. Second was t he 20
-
30 age gr oup, at 40%. I he
l owest magazi ne sal es appeared i n the 10
-
20 age
group. Thi s i s shown by thefactthat' Kerpow" sel l s the
l east of al l our magazi nes, at 5% of total sal es.
Pri ce
Pri ce had very l i ttl e i nfl uence on magazi ne sal es
accordi ng to our survey. 70% cl ai med that they con-
si dered thei r own i nterests fi rst, and
pri ce
second or
not at al l .
Recommendati ons
Based on the resul ts of the survey, I woul d suggest
that we concentrate on the more speci al i sed maga-
zi nes and consi der
phasi ng out the l east popul ar,
such as "Kerpow" and "Homemaker".

Less Formal Styl e
The resul t of a recent survey shows very cl earl y that a

The government
of Denmark has found a way to motivate workers and non-workers.

of f whi l e unempl oyed peopl e

government

The poi nt
of the experi ment was to

Non-workers,
or peopl e
who have been unem-
pl oyed

to get back to work, at l east for a
whi l e.
Wi t h hi gh unempl oyment rat es

wi t h i nt erest . The unem-
pl oyed get a chance to re-enter the
workforce, whi ch gi ves
them hope
for the future. The temporary re-
pl acements
aren' t guaranteed j obs,
but a company often fi nds room to
keeo t hem on.
Ci vi l servant l l se Hytti ng wentyacht-
i ng i n t he Medi t erranean
on ner

t hi ng about di f f erent peopl e

ferent countri es. Her offi ce found i t

of the benefi t. The em-
pl oyer

2. Dear Mr Whi te,
I am wri ti ng to compl ai n about an el ectri c kettl e I bought from your shop l ast week.
When I was i n your shop I asked the assi stant to test i t for me and i t worked fi ne, but when I took
i t home I fi l l ed i t wi th water, pl ugged i t i n, swi tched i t on and i t di dn' t work.
The following day I came back into town to return the kettle. Unfortunately,
you were away at
Head Office and the shop assistant I spoke to said there was nothing that he could do and as
the kettle was on special offer the money couldn't be returned.
I understand that the kettle does have a one-year guarantee and that the guarantee means you
are obliged to either return the money or replace the kettle.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours,

as I'm very good at relating to people
I'm sure that I would be perfeci for the
job.
I enclose my current curriculum vitae and would be able to attend an interview whenever it suits you.
I eagerly await your response and look forward to meeting you.
Yours.

1. There's no doubt that the bulk of the population
are under the illusion that we live in a civilised society. lf this
is so, then how can the continued toleration of violent sports be maintained?
There's little doubt that a sport such as boxing is exceedingly violent and boxers have suffered death, brain
damage and permanent
disability from the blows they received in the ring. Martial arts or rugby could be
considered violent, butthefactthat millions of
peoplewatch
these sports and they make billions of dollars implies
that society may not be as civilised as it thinks. The pleasure
that people gain
fiom watching and
participating
in violent sport surely means that banning them would be an uphill, if not impossible task.
As forthe participants;
as long as they are able to make rationaldecisionsto participate
in these sports, society
should not intervene. There is also the danger of driving these sports "underground", by banning them which
would remove otficial controls and surely lead to even worse incidences of injury or death.
2. Miami Beach, Florida is the playground
of the stars. lt's got
sun, pdm
trees, golden
beaches and
heaps of glitz
and glamour.
Miami Beach has a 7 mile, 100 yard wide belt of wonderful white sand. lt is a man-made beach but
looks totally natural. Weatherwise, the winter, from December to April is the best time but it is also
busier and more expensive because Americans from the north descend for a dose ol winter sun.
Summer is much cheaper but hot and humid
-
especially when you are away from the beach.
There is plenty
to do in and around Miami. Visit the zoos, aquariums and the 45 foot lighthouse
-
South Florida's oldest landmark. Day trips can also be made to the Everglades
-
a slow, swamfy river
that is home to many hundreds of alligators and of course Disney World in nearby Orlando.

lf you are travelling on a budget, be sure to contact "Brigham Gardens" in Sunny lsles

1. There are several angles that this issue could be examined from. The first angle should be lrom the child's
vi si on of the worl d.
A general assumption would be that the child would probably grow
up with a fairly rosy (if not distorted) view
of the world. They have undoubtedly had a very secure, loving upbringing, with doting parents.
This is a
charming environment to grow
up in, but it's possible
that this could lead to problems
in later life.
One of the mostimportantdeprivations
of being raised asan onlychild isthe lackof sibling rivalry. The lessons
we learn from brothersand sisters are howto both shareand compete. Thiscan includesharlngtoysoremotions
as wells as competing for them.
An only child could well find these experiences alien to them and could run into trouble when forming adult
relationships. lt seems a logical assumption therefore, that siblings contribute to a well-rounded charicter.
2. The world has been made acutely aware of global
warming and the hole in the ozone layer in recent years.
Ultra violet rays from the sun have reached dangerous levels, but despite repeated warnings from the medical
establishment, people persist in sunbathing.
Apart from the obvious pain
and discomfort of being sunburnt from spending too long in the sun with
insufficient sun block, there are some other far more serious consequences ol sunbathing. Sunstroke, a
conditionof being inthesuntoolongwithoutheadcovering,
can leadtodisorientation, dehydrationand possibly
hospitalisation. The worst scenario for sun worshippers, however, is the prospect
of skin cancer. This disease,
which is a potential killer, has increased alarmingty in recent years
and due to carelessness in the sun, shows
no sign of abating.
The effects of human bodies receiving large doses of ultra violet rays could lead to other serious internal
damage. The warnings are there, but it's up to the individual to take heed of them.

Last Friday on the 29th I was in Barloyds Bank. l'd gone
to pay in my wages. I was waiting in the
queue
nearest the door when suddenly three masked men holding sawn-off shotguns ran in.
We all fell to the floor. One of the gunmen,
who had black hair, shot at the seiurity cameras so
they wouldn't work. The second one, who was short and rather fat, was watching all oi us. He kept
shouting in a nervous voice "Don't
move or l'll shoot". The third guy,
seemed lik; the leader. He went
behind the counter to get
the money. I think they had chosen tnat Friday deliberately because a lot of
peop]g got their wages on that day, so there would have been a lot of money in the vault.
After about ten minutes, the third man came back from behind the counter with several bags
ol money. Still pointing
their guns
at us, the three of them left the bank. The bank manager raised
the alarm and within minutes the
police
arrived.

lntroduction: As requested, I have investigated the following three properties
which might interest you.
Property 1 A spacious semi-detached house with three bedrooms, recenfly moderriised bathroom
and large garden. Although ideal in many ways, it is 25 minutes from the centre of town and is not well
served by public transport.
fropgrty
2 A
gosy two bedroom terraced property,
newly decorated and fully-carpeted. lt is only
five minutes' walk from bus and rail stations, and close to local shops. Noise from neighbours can be a problem
with terraced houses. Nevertheless, this house has many positive
features including double glazing in ail rooms.
Property 3 A large semi-detached house, with three bedrooms and two livingiooms. tiwittneed extensive
redecoration
and therefore is being offered at a bargain price.
lt is quite
close to localfacilities and on an
excellent bus route.
Conclusion At first sight, Property 1 seemed ideal, but its distance from amenities could be problematic.
Properties 2 and 3 are both attractive, but taking everything into account, | fully recommend property
2 as the
best within your price range.

1. On Friday morning in central London a fire broke out in a block of flats. Most residents of the building had
already left for work and only a few people were inside at the time of the blaze. They were able to escap6 w1h
mi nor i nj uri es.
At 9.20 am the fire alarms sounded at'17-20 Tower Street, central London. Fire and rescue teams arrived on
the scene to find flames shooting out of the basement windows. The fire quickly
spread to the floors above.
Residents who were inside managed to get out of the building by way of the firsescape. Two elderly tenants
were helped by rescuers to escape from a third floor balcony. The two lenants, John and Mary Ackerly were
treated for the effects of smoke inhalation at St Thomas Hospital and were released shortly afterwards.
The basement, first and second floors of the four-storey building were completely destroyed. Thick smoke
filled the third and forth floors but the damage was minimal
Fire investigators suspectthatthe blazewas caused byfaultyelectricalwiring inthebasement. Residentswho
were left homeless by the fire are taking shelter at temporary housing set up
-by
the Red Cross. Fire chief Rick
Marshall commented: "The
buildings in this area of town are quite
old. Extra care and attention is needed when
repl aci ng the wi ri ng".
As a result of thefire the city's Building Inspectors willbe checking the recently-repaired wiring in neighbouring
bui l di ngs.

The Advantages and Di sadvantages
of Bei ng a Vegetari an
Nowadays, vegetari ani sm has become a trend
for peopl e
who are i n search of a heal thi er l i fe.
However, i t can be sai d there are both advantaoes
and di sadvantages for deci di ng to be a vegetarLn.
Fi rstl y, vegetari ans feel that there are certai n
advantages to be gai ned by not eati ng meat. They
consi der substi tute foods such as soya, cereal s
and vegetabl es are an even better source of protei n
than meat. l t i s mai ntai ned that such foods are l ow
i n fat and chol esterol therefore promoti ng
better
heal th. Fi nal l y, by avoi di ng meat, vegetari ans be-
l i eve they are not eati ng contami nated food whi ch
i s often a source of many i l l nesses.
On t he ot her hand, some peopl e f eel t hat bei ng
a vegetari an has di sadvantages. For exampl e.
such a di et can be bori ng and tastel ess. Al so, the
choi ce of food avai l abl e i s often l i mi ted when eati ng
out. In addi ti on, not eati ng meat can often l ead to
a defi ci ency i n i ron and protei n whi ch can resul t i n
ser i ous heal t h pr obl ems. Fi nal l y, humans evol ved
as meat-eaters, so by not eati ng meat, they mi ght
be atfecti ng thei r very nature.
To sum up, I bel i eve i t i s a matter of personal
opi ni on whether or not someone eats meat. Peopl e
are free to deci de on thei r own eati ng patterns.

To do team sports you need to consi der your team-
