Your name is extremely important. It's how you identify
yourself. It's how other people identify you. So how do
parents make one of the most important decisions of
their children's lives - giving them a name?
In the past, parents named their children after
important family relatives. But peopLe are c.hanging .
Nowadays , parents don't want to call their little princess
Enid Blodwen after her grandmother.
It's fashionable to choose names of places for
children's names . For example, Madonna named her
daughter Lourdes after the town in France. David and
Victoria Beckham named their first child Brooklyn after
an area in New York. However, it isn't a good idea to
follow this trend if your favourite place is your local
pizza restaurant or shopping mall!
Some people name their children after famous people.
For example, Leonardo DiCaprio's parents named him
after the famous ltalian painter. A few years ago the
names Beyoncé and Britney were very popular.
Some na mes have a special meaning. Have you ever
heard of anyone called Sky, Rain or River? These names
come from nature and you can see what they mean.
But did you know that actor Keanu Reeves' name

means 'cool breeze over the mountain' in Hawaiian?
A recent survey showed that people with unusual or
original names feel special. 1 wonder if this is true for
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's children: Rumer Glenn,
Scout LaRue and Tallulah Belle.
I've chosen the name 1 want for a daughter. I'm go;ng
to call her Lauren. Why? Simply because 1 like the na me.
My mother liked the na me Lauren too, but unfortunately
she named me Enid Blodwen after my grandmother.

What's the best way to make a really good impression at a party? By wearing
the best c1othes? Telling the best jokes? Dancing Iike a professional? No - you
just need to remember people's names. Here are some easy steps.
1
At parties, we sometimes don't hear the other person's name - not because the
music is too loud, but because we're too focused on ourselves. 50 the first step is
to pay attention. When you meet someone for the first time, listen carefully to the
name and look at the person's face.
2
When you're speaking to the person, use the name. For example, 'Nice to meet
you, Danny.' 'What do you do, Danny?' or 'Danny, it was nice talking to you.' Then
repeat the new name in your head at least three times.
3 __
Franklin Roosevelt amazed his staff by remembering the names of nearly
everyone he meto His secret? He visualised the name on the person's forehead.
It's also a good idea to imagine yourself writing the na me in your favourite colour.
4 __
In your mind, say the na me and something memorable about the person's
appearance. For example, Charles -Iooks like a banker; Ann -long blond hair;
George - moustache; 50phia - looks friendly.
Finally, if you want to remember other people's names as well as your own
name, drink orange juice!

about music and fashion, and then we discovered
that we live only ten miles from each other.
We talked online all the time, and one day we
arranged to meet in a café. I felt really nervous,
because I'm s hy with new people, but we liked
each other immediately. We are very similar. We
both lived ab road when we were children, and we
both had parents who got divorced when we were
young. We both have busy lives, but we still talk
every day on the phone an d we see each other once
a week. I think Deb's a fantastic persono She's ve ry

In 2005, a military jacket ap peared on
the fashion pages of Vogue. There's
notiling unusual about th at, except
that th e price tag was not El ,200, nor
even E120. The jacke t was made by
Primark, and it was on sale for just
E12 1 Women went mad for it, and
Pril11ark was renamed 'the new Prada'.
At Primark T-shirts cost E2, pyjal11as
cost E5, su its cost E15 and WOl11ell'S
tops cost less than E5. So it's no
surprise that Prirnark's profits are
in creasing and new sto res are opening
across the UK, Spain and Ireland.
So everybody's happy then . Well ,
no. Accord in g to environmental
groups sLlch as Friends of the Earth,
cheap clotiles are damaging the
environment. Consumers are paying
low prices for their clothes, but the
plallet is paying a high cost.
The result of low prices is t hat
people are buying more. On average,
people now buy fifty items of clothing
ayear - an increase of 33%. Bu t
th ese clothes are poor quality and
they don't last. You can't sell them
second-hand or recycle them for

wants to work as an architect, whereas I want to be an engineer. In many
ways we are similar: we enjoy the same sort of music and we like the same

prefer to play games on my computer. Another difference between us is the
clothes we wear. I'm happy in jeans and a T-shirt, but David always wears

Gordon - the grandfather (72)
Tony - his son (48)
Seott - his grandson (19)
'1 think my son and my grandson
have a lovely relationship - it
wasn't like that when 1 was a boyo
M,y father was a very strict man, we
had to obey him without question.
1 had to walk five kilometres
to school. There was no other
way of getting there. At home we
didn't have a television, so we had
to make our own entertainment.
1 spent all my free time outside
playing football.
But we couldn't play football on
Sundays beca use we had to go to
church.
1 left school when I was fourteen
and went to work in a bakery. That's
where 1 met Mabel.
We couldn't bring girlfriends
home in those days. We had to meet
in public places. 1 suppose that's why
so many people got married young.
1 was only nineteen, and Mabel was
eighteen:
'When I was growing up, my father
was always at work, and when he
came home, we eouldn't disturb him,
be ea use he was ti red.
Because my father left school very
early and regretted it afterwards, he
wanted me to do well at sehool. 1 had
to do my homework every night and
I could only watch television at the
weekend.
When 1 was eighteen I got a place
at university. My parents didn't have
to support me financially, beeause the
government gave me a grant to study.
I didn't go home very often, even
during the holidays. I preferred
spending time with my friends,
especially my girlfriends. In my last
year of university 1 met Louise, and
we got a place together. We had to
get married when Louise found out
she was pregnant:
Tve always had a very close
relationship with my dad and 1 don't
have to hide anything from him.
When 1 was at schoo!, I had a
lot of freedom. When 1 went out,
I didn't have to come home at a
certain time - my parents trusted
me.
I'm at eollege now, and my
parents have to pay for my studies,
but I have to work in the evenings
to pay for any luxuries I want.
I think it's wrong that my
parents have to pay for my studies.
1 think colleges and universities
should be free for everybody.
My girlfriend often stays with
me at my parents' house, and 1
sometimes go and stay at her
parents'. Both our parents think we
should get married one day, but
we're definitely not in a hurry:

Say 'cheese'!
Use five of the words from the photograph to complete the following articIe
about smiling. Choose an appropriate singular or plural form for each word.
According to research from the USA, we smile for many different reasons.
There's the listener/ response smile. When two people are having a
conversation, the listener smiles to encourage the speaker.
There's the polite smile. This is the sort of smile you make when your
aunt gives you a horrible birthday present.
There's the miserable smile. For example, when you go to the dentist, and
he tel ls you that you need to have a (1) tooth taken out.
Very often , these social smiles are not real : they are frequently 'fake'
smiles. Fake smiles are easy to do - you just have to tighten the muscles
in your (2) _ _ .

'My first car was a Citroen 2CV.
Someone gave it to me and it was
very old. It used to break down
almost every time 1went out in it.
One day, it was raining heavily,
and the windscreen wiper fell off.
1couldn't see the road! 1had to
stop and wait for the rain to stop .
1used to have a love·hate relationship with that
car - lloved it when it worked, but 1 hated it when it
broke down.'
'It wasn't my car, it was my
boyfriend's. It was a blu e VW
Beetle with a sunroof.
Every weekend we used to
drive out of town with our tent in
the back and drive until we felt
like stopping.
It wasn't a big car, but 1
remember one weekend we went to Paris with four
friends. There were six of us in this little car! 1don't
think we took any luggage, because there wasn't any
room for suitcases. The engine was in the back, and
there was only a tiny boot in the front. But we didn't
use to worry about that sort ofthing when we were
younger.'
'Daddy gave me my first car for my
l¡1 h birthday. 1didn't even have
my dr'iving licence. It was a little
red Porsche with a blue steering
wheel and blue seats. It was cute,
but 1didn't use it much beca use 1
used to prefer motorbikes. AII my
boyfriends had big motorbikes .

1 Verb + particle (INTRANSITlVE)
Some phrasal verbs are intransitive and don't take a direct object.

Verb + object + particle (TRANSITlVE - SEPARABLE)
The biggest group of phrasa l verbs is transitive. These verbs take a direct object.
With separable verbs, when the direct object is a noun, you can put it before 01'
after the particle.

When the direct object is a pronoun, you have to put it between the verb and
the particle.

3 Verb + particle + object (TRANSITlVE - NOT SEPARABLE)
With this type of phrasal verb you always put the direct object - noun
after the particle.
