one out of every 200 people lives to be 100,
and they are normally very heaLthy, too. Most of
the peopLe in the villages work outside in their
fields and with their animals. They have a heaLthy
diet, with a lot of vegetables and not much meat
or fish. They hardly ever take any medicine, but
they usuaUy drink a little grappo before they go
to bed . 'life is hard: says Fortunato, who is a
shepherd, 'but I am never stressed. I never read
the newspaper- because I can't read very welt.'

Japan
P
eople i n Okinawa i n Japan do not have big meats. They usually just
have vegetabLes and fish, and often eat soya. Okinawans are very
active, and they often work until they are 80 or more. But they aLso relax
every day - they see friends and they meditate. Ushi, from Okinawa, is
107. In the evening she often dances with her daughter and has a gLass
of soke. 'I want to have a boyfriend,' she says. When journalists ask
people from Okinawa 'What is your secret?' they answer, 'We are happy,
we are always positive, and we are never in a hurry.'

Dublin - thefriendly city
eople don't usually think of capital cities as friendly. but
people told me that Dublin is the exception, so [went
[~e re to see if it was true - and it was! local people greet you
like an old friend, they want to know everything about you,
and about your day. The tourist guides are really friendly: for
example. at the Guinness fa ctory (somewhere you must go)
they offer you a free glass of Guinness. The bus drivers on
the tour buses (an excellent way to get around Dublin) tell
ve ry interesting and amusing stories about all the buildings
and monuments they go past. They stop at all the main
tourist attractions, for example Phoenix Park, the home to
Dublin's zoo, St Patrick's Cathedral. and the main shopping
areas (Grafton Street and O'Connell Street). When you want
something to eat, the Temple Bar area is the place to go. Even
in the re staurants Irish people want you to be happy. They
often sit you at tables with other people, and the waiters tell
jokes when they serve the food to make you laugh . In general,
the food is great and very good value for money. there are
lots of things to see, and hotels are cheap - how can you not
be happy and friendly with all that?

1 It was in August twO years ago when I was on
holiday in Athens.
1 It was last year. I was in
Istanbul. where I live.
~ I wa nted to see a man that I knew a little when I was
at university. He was Greek and he lived in Athens.
I called him many times, but he didn't answer.
Suddenly, on my last night. he came to my hotel.
2 I was with my friends. It was my best friend's birthday.
[IJ I felt embarrassed, because my clothes weren't very
special - a green skirt and a white T-shirt and Greek
sandals - and my hair was a mess.
!3J We went out and walked around the centre of
Athens, We spoke English, but he taught me some
Greek words and I taught him some Spanish.
[1J It was a warm night With a beautiful full moon.
iJ I got back to the hotel at 3 a.m.
[Z] It was a magical.evening - an Argentinian woman
With a Greek man on the other side of the world
in those dark streets, with the lights from the
Parthenon up on the hill!
3 I wore a black T-shirt and blue jeans.
4 We went to a great place called Cezayir, 1(5 an old building with a
great restaurant. We had dinner, and after dinner we had a coffee in
the bar. Then we went to the beach at Florya and we had a swim. It
was fantastic. The water wasn't very clean, but we didn't mind!
~ It was a hot night and the sea was really warm,
6 After our swim, we were tired and decided to go back, but I
couldn't find my car keys! We went back to the beach and we
looked everywhere, but it was toO dark, In the end I left the car at
the beach and I went home in my friend's car! I got home really
late, at 5.00 In the morning.
7 It was a memorable night because we had a fantast ic dinner and
swim, but also because I lost the car keys - it was my father's car
and he was really angry!

The man who wrote
SHERLOCK HOLMES
(thur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on
22nd May 1859. He studied medicine at Edinburgh
A
University and as a student he began writing short
stories. He became a doctor in the south of EngLand. but
at first he didn't have many patients. So in his free time he
began writing stories about a brilliant detective, SherLock
HoLmes. Conan DoyLe based HoLmes' personality on his
professor at university. HoLmes, who lives at 221 b Baker
Street in London, is famous for solving difficuLt crimes
and mysteries using his great intelligence. The Sherlod:
HoLmes stories soon became very popuLar, but in 1893
Conan Doyle became tired of his detective, and decided
to ' kilt ' him, In The Final Problem SherLock HoLmes and
his enemy, Professor Moriarty, die when they fall off
t he Reichenbach Falls in SwitzerLand. But peopLe were
very unhappy to Lose SherLod: HoLmes, and there were
Letters in many newspapers asking for him to come back .
Finally, in 190 I Conan DoyLe brought him back
in a new story, The Hound of the BaskerviUes.
He expLained that HoLmes did not die in the
Reichenbach Falls, but miracuLousLy survived .
Conan DoyLe died on 7th JuLy 1930, but
' Sherlock Holmes continu es to live
both in the stories and in many fiLm
versions. RecentLy he was the

Making suggestions
Paris: Theo
I met Theo at the Place D'ltalie
metro station. He's 24 and his
English is good. At his apartment
I met his flatmate. Roger. They
were very friendly. They made
me a delicious dinner of crepes
and ham and eggs. Then they
took me to Footsie, a great bar near the Opera. Some
friends came and in the end the conversation changed to
French. That was difficult for me and I got tired . Finally,
we went to a party near Montmartre. It was great! Lots of
friendly people. I went back to Theo's flat on the back of
his bicycle.
Why don't we (go to ...)?
I prefer to (go to ...)
That's a good idea.
c Change partners. Tell each othcr about your
holiday plan s.

Buenos Aires, Rio. and Montevideo. We're
going to CouchSurf because we don't have

Vienna: Artur
I stayed with Artur. a biochemistry
student. He was friendl y. but
when I arrived I wanted to have
a bath and I forgot to turn off the
tap. The bathroom was full of
water. Oops!
Budapest: Judit
I got off the train at the wrong station so I arrived
late at Judit's flat. She wasn't very happy. She's a
journalist for the Hungarian channels MTV and TV2
and she's 'an incredibly busy woman. In the afternoon
she took me with her to a shopping centre 10 help her
choose a dress for a party. That was a bit surreal! In
the evenlng we had dinner together in the Castro bar
in the city centre. Next day I flew home to London,
tired but happy. I'm definitely going to do il again!

The driving
I think people drive Quite dangerously,
which surprised me because I thought they
were careful drivers here. They don't drive
fast, but people are always on the phone in
the car, which you don't often see in the
UK nowadays.
The food
The food can be delicious, but I think people eat very
unhealthily. In restaurants they often add salt to their food.
And they drink litres of Coke! The headQuarl!!rs of the
Coca-Cola company is based here, and they even have
a Coca-Cola museum. Once I went to a coffee shop and
asked for a double espresso, no milk no sugar. I had to
repeat my order three times, because the waitress couldn' t
understand me. She said people here only ask for lattes
and cappuccinos with lots of sugar!
The people
In general, people are very friendly. The people l"m
staying with , who live just outside the City, know all their
neighbours really well. They often don't lock their doors,
which surprised me because people say it's a dangerous
city. They speak incredibly slowly, with a strong accent and
sometimes I have a problem understanding them.

The weather
It's December - and it gets dark at about
3 p.m., which is depressing! There's a lot of
snow at the moment, but all the buses and
trains are running perfectly. not like in Britain
where everything stops when it snows!
The houses
All the houses are painted in pretty colours,
like red, green and blue, and many houses have a yellow
and blue flag. Inside the houses are decorated beautifully
with lots of flowers and modern wooden furniture.
The people
People are friendly and polite, but Quite formal. They dress
fashionably but casually, and of course you see a lot of
very blonde women here. You also see a lot of men who
are looking after very young babies. Everybody speaks
English really well. maybe because a lot of the TV is in
English with subtitles.

b Look at the high lighted words or phrases in rhe text
and guess their meani ng.
Amy Johnson is an American who lives
and works in England. We asked her to tell us
about her first Impressions of the UK.
ne of my first impressions was that the UK is
more expensive than the US. I live in Oxford and
the cost of living , (rent. bilJs, food, etc.) is higher
than in Ohio, where I'm from in the US. The only thing
that is a lot cheaper here is healthcare - it's free to go
to the doctor's or to hospital, whereas in the US it isn't,
so you need to have health insurance, which can be very
expensive,
O
I think you can eat very well in England - there's a wide
variety of food from all around the world - Chinese,
Ja panese, Italian, Turkish, ete. - bu t eating out is more
expensive than in the US, and the service is worse,
Generally, I'd say British food is healthier than American
foo d, and the portions are a lot smaller, too,
As for the people, I find British people quite pessimistic
compared to Americans who are usually very positive
and optimistic about the future, Also, when I'm in Ohio
talk to everybody: shop assistants, the person behind
me in the supermarket queue, the person sitting next
to me in the restaurant, but I can't do that in the UKpeopl e are much more reserved . But, on the other hand,
think it is easier to make real friends here than in the
US, I also find British

Onc of the first things I notiCl'd in Va lencia is
that p('ople cat out a lot. T hcy sp·e nd a 101 of
lime in cafcs and bars. You find [leorle having
breakfast. or tea, in a ba r, not juSt lunch and
dinner. Pl'ople who work go out toa barto
ha\'e coffee. the), don't have it in their office.
In restaurantS o ne thing rh ar really surprised

thl' ml' n all sit alone I'nd oflhe table and thl'
women at the other.
