The Ozone Hole
Finalizado
Scientists say that this year the hole broke all records: it is the largest largest in history. It is 27.4 million kilometers squared. Why is
this hole so big? One reason is that the clouds over the South Pole carry chlorine (Cl) and that gas slowly eliminates the ozone.
Now people are thinking more about the ozone. They are using other substances and in some years, nobody will remember what
Respuesta correcta
The ozone layer is a 'blanket' around the earth. It protects [us] from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The problem is that there is a
hole in the ozone layer over Antartica. Humans made that hole [because] people use some products [which] have terrible effects on
the ozone.

Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool It's just before 7 a.m. and I’m at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature of the water
is only 11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.
I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water. However, in the end, I decided to ask
people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years, coming every morning before work. ‘It’s wonderful on a cold winter
morning,’ he says. ‘I thought it would make me healthier and I haven’t been ill once since I started.'
All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some doctors say it helps fight illness,
while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.
I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. That’s easy,’ he said. ‘There’s a place in the middle where the ice is thin and
easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found out that it
was impossible to break through the ice.'
I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But the truth is, fearing the worst, I
walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

pregunta
Wednesday May 18, 2011.
One typical day I was too tired after working all day long to cook for myself, and I was very hungry. I really wanted something to eat, so I
decided to find a burger.
I ordered a half-pound burger and a lamb and chicken sandwich. I also made some special orders for extra cheese and vegetables.
Food arrived very fast (less than twenty minutes) and was hot and fresh. The burger was delicious, and left me wanting more - fortunately I had
the sandwich left. It felt as if it had been cut just a minute before I opened it - juicy, fresh, and great.
Every single special request I made was completely satisfied, 100%!
And the best thing was that all of the above and some drinks cost me ONLY 10 dollars! If that doesn't say value for money, I don't know what
does.
It certainly feels great to find new excellent food delivery companies for whenever you don't feel like cooking yourself. I recently had a sad
experience with my usual take away restaurant, so I decided to change to something else - and on my first try I got what I wanted! Order now
from Swift Pizza and Sandwich House!

JAMES SALTER’S DAYS IN FILM
Finalizado
Se puntúa 0
James Salter was a pilot in the United States Air Force. He abandoned his military career in 1957 after the publication of his first novel, The
sobre 1 Hunters. He is best known as a novelist, but during the sixties and seventies, he worked in film-making. Salter made documentaries, wrote text
Marcar for films, and even was the director of a film called Three, starring Charlotte Rampling and Sam Waterson.
pregunta
In Passionate Falsehoods, which was adapted from Salter’s book Burning the Days, published in The New Yorker in 1997, Salter tells the story of
his life in film.
Salter’s time in the film world is both good and bad. In Rome, he met directors and stars. In New York, he explored the city with Robert Redford
and enjoyed being famous. Deborah Treisman and Michael Agger have talked about Salter. Nick Paumgarten, in The Last Book, describes
Salter’s opinion about his film career: “Of sixteen texts for movies, only four were popular. There was money, attractive women, and entrance
into rooms where there were stories more for the dinner table than for the page.” Salter thought he was wasting his time.
Perhaps he wasted his time in a larger artistic way, but it still makes for attractive reading. The Last Book is available to everyone in online
stores.

James Salter is famous for…
A. his books. <---

Respuesta correcta
"Nowadays", says Ruth, "people only sing together in churches and football grounds, although it could be done anywhere. Everyone is able to
sing, but most of us either think we can't or have forgotten what we learned as children. However, as with everything musical, you need to
practice and the same applies to your voice."
Ruth believes that singing itself brings other benefits. It encourages good breathing, for example. Through singing, people often become more
confident and also learn to control stress. But more than anything, it brings people together.
When Ruth first started singing, there was little opportunity to sing with others. Then, through a friend, she discovered an excellent singing class
and became so keen that she started running her own classes. These are held twice a month for all singers, whatever their level, and are now
enormously successful.
How does Ruth think singing with other people can help you?
Seleccione una:
a. You can get to know other people.
