Flight attendant:
A trip around the world is a great opportunity to forget about the routine for a while and meet every morning
in a new city with new adventures. At first glance, such an idea seems a bit adventurous, and immediately the
rather difficult and sometimes dangerous travels of Phileas Fogg from 80 Days Around the World come to
mind. But, fortunately, we live in the 21st century and we have a completely safe way to go around the world.

The world tour will cover 375 ports in 135 countries. Tourists will
be able to visit 13 of the 14 wonders of the world, and they will
spend a third of the nights in hotels on land during stops of 2-
3 days. The cost of the cruise starts from USD 30 thousand per
year, meaning that the entire tour will cost almost USD 90
thousand.

The cruise organizers claim that this tour is ideal for digital
nomads who will have a unique opportunity to travel the world
and work at the same time, paying a little more than $80 per
day for "rent".

The cruise will be operated by the MV Gemini, which has 400

cabins and can accommodate 1,074 passengers. It will depart
from Istanbul on November 1, 2023, with additional stops in
Barcelona and Miami.

The price includes access to all dining options and alcohol

during dinner, a state-of-the-art wellness center, a sun terrace
and swimming pool, high-speed internet, entertainment, and
housekeeping. The ship will also have a 24-hour hospital with
free doctor visits. A business center with meeting rooms,
offices, a lounge and a business library will also be available
on board.

Would you go on such a trip if you had enough money for it?
Would you be able to survive 3 years on a cruise?
In theory, does your job allow you to work online and travel?
What countries would you like to visit the most?
Is 90 thousand dollars too much for such a trip?
What exactly would you like to do on this cruise? Describe
your day
Why do you think people take these trips?

 TASK
READ THE INFORMATION BELOW AND
TRY TO TELL ABOUT YOURSELF

MIKE
My hobbies are reading books and working out. Along
with this, I also like cooking. While researching the
company, I got to know about the in-house gym.
Having a gym in the workplace is a great idea as
employees can get to know each other better on a
casual level apart from their designated roles.

KATE
I usually spend my leisure time reading books or
playing badminton. I like reading new and trending
novels and my favourite genres include suspense,
horror and thriller novels. Being a voracious reader, I
believe that I have a strong vocabulary and
knowledge of grammar. My zeal for writing gets its
flair from my passion for reading books.

VICTORIA
I have a pet dog named Cookie and spending time
with him is one of my favourite things to do. I also
love to travel and I often plan trips with my family. But
solo travelling gives me the bliss that I crave for. Every
year I look forward to exploring new places and
catching up on some lifetime memories.

NATALY
I like learning new skills and recently I have been
interested in exploring different languages as they
help me explore new cultures around the world. I
started learning Spanish online and I have already
cleared the beginner level. I generally spend my
weekends focusing on exploring new Spanish words
and watching Spanish movies to strengthen my
grasp over the language.

 4 THE MOST UNUSUAL
HOBBIES IN THE WORLD
Pictures from audio cassettes
Do you think that tape cassettes are from the last century and
that no one needs them anymore? You are deeply mistaken.
There are real creators in the world who have found a very
original use for cassette tapes - they make unusual, stunning
paintings out of them. The idea of creating such paintings
belongs to a 25-year-old American woman, Iris Simmons. It is
interesting that many people are already interested in this
hobby.

Sculptures from a pencil slate

As a rule, pencils are used for drawing. However, modern
craftsmen have turned them into magnificent works of art. By
carving pencils, artists create truly amazing miniature figures.
Each piece of such work requires great patience and special
skills. Figures, characters from movies and cartoons, animals
and people - all of this just "comes to life" on the tip of a pencil
in the skillful hands of a master.

Carving on books
This is an unusual art called book-carving. Someone admires it,
and someone calls it savage, considering it a mockery of books.
But many of the richest galleries in the world are chasing these
extraordinary "sculptures" and recognize that it is a
contemporary art form. Book carving is popular all over the
world, but it requires patience, hard work and accuracy. It is a
hobby for hardworking people with an artistic mindset.

Nail paintings
If you know how to hold a hammer, try creating paintings from
nails. The British artist Marcus Levine has been doing this for a
long time, and exhibitions of his work attract crowds of people
who want to see the result of an unusual hobby.
Street art is another unusual drawing that uses nails, but here
the nails are connected to each other with threads, creating a
very effective panel. With the help of colorful threads, it is easy
to create a cheerful picture for a good mood.

Powerful ingredients are used as a base of

most brightening formulas – which is why they
lighten or fade the skin colour. They work to
lighten and bleach the skin. They are also used
for targeting brown spots and age spots that
have been caused by the UV rays of the sun.

These boxes have been made to make lives

more straightforward for the people struggling
to carry all the needed makeup items at once. It
includes a foundation, primer, lip colour,
mascara, eyeliner and other things that form the
basics of a professional makeup regime.

It is applied to the lips to add shine. Its

thicker and shimmer texture makes the lips look
more supple and plump. It is often used by

 TINA KAROL'S MAKEUP
The step-by-step description of Tina's makeup will tell you how the Ukrainian singer really wears
makeup. The singer's look is perfect for a date or a romantic photo shoot.

1 The makeup base is applied according to your skin type. Using the concealer, we mask all
bumps, hide minor imperfections or skin rashes. The medium-density texture of the
foundation is evenly spread over the entire face.

To give the skin a light shimmering effect, apply highlighter to all prominent parts of the
face. Use your fingertips to apply the product to the center of the nose, the line under the
eyebrows and the cheekbones.
2
3 The cheekbone line is highlighted with blush. Apply a natural bronze blush to the
cheekbones with a beveled brush. Blend the blush towards the corners of the lips. The
borders of the blush should be invisible, the transition to the main skin tone blurred.

Peach and golden shades of eyeshadow are used in the eye makeup. With a fluffy brush,
the shadows are evenly spread over the entire upper eyelid, and a line is made at the lower
eyelid. The shadows are slightly blended, giving a slightly almond-shaped shape. Often the
singer uses a combination of golden and pink shades, as a result, we get a wet eye effect.
4
5 We go through the eyelashes with mascara, comb through and separate the lashes glued
together with a brush. Draw eyebrows with a pencil, fill in all the gaps with thin strokes.
Fix the result with gel.

Red lips have become the main accent in the star's makeup. With a pencil, you need to
walk along the contour of the lips and fill them with color, then blend the lines. Apply red
lipstick with a brush. The lipstick must be matte, and to keep the color intense for longer, it
is applied directly to the pencil.
6
At the end of the makeup, powder with a matting effect is applied to the T-zone of the
face.

I want everyone to remember

A that every woman and girl is
L beautiful with or without
makeup, and it doesn't matter at
W
all. A person is beautiful from the
A
inside! Always be yourself and
Y ignore those who dare to say
S something negative about your

P
R "Red lipstick hides tears in your eyes.
E It is a bright accent and a distraction
T that helps to hide sadness and
longing. This lipstick has become a

symbol of femininity, a symbol: "I am
Y still".

FREQUENTLY SELDOM NEVER

 FROM ZERO
TO ZARA
Today, he’s one of the richest men in
the world with a global business that is
worth billions of dollars, but he used to
be a poor boy from Galicia, in the north
of Spain.

This is the story of Amancio Ortega, the

founder of the clothes company, Zara.

http://www.richmond.com.ar/images/pdf/catalogue

Amancio was born in 1936. His father was a railway worker and didn’t earn much
money. The family sometimes couldn’t afford food and his mother used to ask for
credit at the grocery store, but one day they said no. That was the moment Amancio
decided to leave school and get a job. He was just 14. Amancio’s first job was in a shirt
shop.

He used to fold the shirts and deliver them to customers on his bike. Then he moved
to another shop, where he learned a lot about the industry. Clothes used to be quite
expensive and there wasn’t much choice, so customers didn’t use to buy many.
Amancio realized that if he could produce more attractive clothes more cheaply,
people would spend more money

So, at the age of 27, and with just a little money that he’d saved, Amancio started his
own business making pyjamas, which he sold to local shops. After borrowing some
money from a bank, he began making other types of clothes and the business grew.
In 1975, Amancio opened his first Zara shop and the company soon opened more
shops in Spain.

Today, you can find Zara and the other fashion companies Amancio owns in 88
different countries around the world, but he still lives in Galicia, where he grew up.

 5 TIPS ON HOW TO
OVERCOME FEARS
Identify fears and insecurities. Make a list of
The first step to overcoming fear is to recognize it. You need to
determine for yourself what exactly makes you afraid: failure? Is it
rejection? Fear of looking ridiculous? Once the fear is identified, you
need to sit down and think about why you are afraid. Are your fears
logical or are they just a product of your emotions?

mark if you do this or not

Stop "thinking too much"

Of course, it's a good habit to think about a situation before making
an important decision. But too much "thinking" actually keeps you
from taking action. If you don't act, you will never move forward. So
stop analyzing every little thing and take action instead!

mark if you do this or not

Find your strengths

When you remind yourself of what you are good at and what you like
about yourself, you will gain more trust and confidence, and thus
begin to let go of your fear. Try new hobbies or activities in your life. Try
something you've never tried before and you may realize that it's not
so scary to make a decision or ride a horse, for example.

mark if you do this or not

Exercise and eat well

We all know that exercise and a healthy diet are very beneficial for our
bodies. A healthy lifestyle can also improve your mood and make you
feel calmer, more balanced, and more confident. And this, in turn, is a
great way to overcome anxiety and insecurity.
mark if you do this or not

Make a goal for yourself

Without a plan, it is very easy to get lost and feel like your life has no
meaning. Setting a goal can give you concrete direction and make you
rise above your fears and allow you to achieve what you want in life. In
addition, each time you achieve your goal, you gain even more self-
confidence.

COURTENEY COX AND JENNIFER ANISTON

Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, who famously played Monica and Rachel on the TV
show "Friends," have maintained a strong friendship since the series ended. They've
supported each other's career endeavors and have been seen attending events together.

They say that there is no place for true friendship in Hollywood,

but the stars of the cult TV series Friends, Courteney Cox and
Jennifer Aniston, are direct proof that actors can be close even
when there is some competition between them.

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox met in 1994 on the set of

Friends, the title of which became prophetic for them. Since
then, and until recently, the relationship between the two stars
has remained impeccable: they have gone shopping together,
dined in restaurants and posed on the red carpet at Hollywood
events - exclusively in an embrace.

It is known that the women often meet

and even invite their colleagues who
they worked with during the filming of
the Friends series to dinner.

Jen, as you know, became the godmother of Courtney's only daughter

Coco. Today, almost 20 years after the series ended, the girls continue
to be friends just as Monica and Rachel would have been.
