An Exhibition
The people who took part in Sue's painting class have
arranged a small party to celebrate the end of the first
term of lessons. In one
ofthe rooms at the
school they exhibit their
pictures. Some people
made salads and others
brought along some
wine. When Pete sees
Sue's work he is quite
impressed and apolo-
gizes for saying that she
could not paint.

A Famous American City
This 120 km2 Californian peninsula was a simple Span-
ish town until gold was discovered in 1849. Almost
overnight it was transformed into the sprawling city
which it is now. The 1906 earthquake and more recent
tremors have not discouraged the people from living
there. China Town in this city is the largest Chinese
quarter outside Asia. Because the city is so hilly, the
most convenient form oftravel for tourists is the
cable-car.
What is the name ofthis city on the West coast?

How fast were you going?
Pete: I was driving 40 m.p.h. in a 30
m.p.h area.
They had set up
a radar trap.
That will cost
youafew

The Dry-Cleaner's
Pete picked up a suit from the dry-cleaner's. He did
not look at it too closely when he was in the shop, but
when he got home he
noticed that there was a
white mark on the jacket.
The next morning he
took the jacket back, and
the manageress was very
apologetic and assured
him that the jacket would
be cleaned a second time
for free.

The English Riviera
This area of Britain is known as the English Riviera
because of its 35 kilometres of unspoiled coastline.
The area enjoys an especially warm climate, so warm
that there is an abundance of palm trees. There are
three towns all of which have interesting harbours,
cliff walks, beaches and coves. The floral attraction
and the extensive illuminations which adorn the
resort after dark also make this an attractive area for.
holidaymakers.
What is the proper namefor the "English Riviera"?

Late at Work
Pete forgot to set his alarm clock the previous eve-
ning. When he wakes up he realizes that he is going
to be late for work. As
he has no appointments
planned for the morn-
ing, he decides to have
a relaxed breakfast and
read the newspaper be-
fore setting out for the
office. He phones his
secretary to tell her that
he will be a bit late.

Looking at a New House
Sue has read an advert in the paper, inviting potential
home buyers to have a look around a new estate
being built on the out-
skirts of town. Sue and
Pete are not seriously
considering buying a
house, but plan to have
a look around the new
houses anyway. One

A Scottish District
This area in Scotland is steeped in history. People
have lived here from ancient times, leaving arrow-
heads, axes and symbolic stones behind them. There
are seven museum centres across this district north of
Inverness. It stretches from the Black Isle in the east
to the beautiful town ofUllapool in the west where
one can board the car ferry to Stornoway in the
Western Isles or take a day trip to the Summer Isles,
a breeding ground for seals and birds.
What is this area called?

A Scottish Island
This island off the west coast of Scotland is often
described as Scotland in miniature due to the
different landscapes on the island. The ferry from

lovely gardens full of rhododendron bushes is worth
seeing. The island is visited by many bird lovers and
hill walkers. The biggest mountain to be climbed is
. Goatfell.
Wh at is the name of this Scottish island?

pers into the Christmas
spirit.

In a Japanese Restaurant
Pete: Would you like to eat in a Japanese restaurant to-
night?
Sue: Why especially Japanese?
Pete: We eat so much Chinese and Indian food, may be we
could try some-
thing different.
Sue: Don't they just
serve raw fish ?
Pete: It's supposed to be
a speciality, but
surely they have
other things on the
menu as well.
214
A Food Hamper
Sue's employer is feeling very generous this year and
gives all his employees a hamper full of food and wine
specialities. Sue is surprised
as her boss usually just gives
them a bottle ofsherry each.
Since she does not feel
much like cooking tonight
anyway, she decides to
treat herselfand Pete to
some salmon and pate
from the hamper.

Sunday Papers
In Britain the Sunday paper has a great tradition.
There are many different papers with all kinds of
political leanings. Some of
the Sunday papers have a
coloured supplement.
These magazines are
largely financed by ad-
vertising, but they contain
many interesting articles.
A favourite is also the
crossword which can be
quite complicated.

On the Coast
Tom and Lyn have hired a car to drive to the coast.
They had intended to drive for most of the day, but
as soon as they saw the
long white sandy beach
and the blue sea breaking
on the shore, they decided
to go for a swim instead.
They found a part of the
beach away from all the
surfers so that they could
swim without the fear of
being hit on the head by
a surf board.
224
ABus Trip
Lyn: There's a poster advertising a bus trip. Shall I
Tom: get a couple oftickets?
Lyn:
Only if the bus is
Tom:
Lyn: air-conditioned.
Ofcourse it will
be. The bus leaves
in two hours.
That's rather short
notice, isn't it?
Stop complaining
and get yourself
ready.

A Statesman
This Indian statesman was born in 1889, the son of an
eminent lawyer. He was educated at Harrow and Trinity
College, Cambridge, before returning to India to practise
law there. He joined the non-cooperation movement un-
der Gandhi in 1920 and soon gained a leading position in
the Indian National Congress party. He became the first
prime minister of independent India. His "Autobiogra-
phy" (1936) gives some insight into the development of
his ideas.

Holiday Snapshots
Lyn takes the holiday films to be developed. In the
shop she puts the films in an envelope. She has to
tick on the front whether
the photos are to be mat
or glossy. Ifshe pays extra,
she can have the devel-
oped films back in 24 hours,
but Lyn doesn't think that
the extra charge is worth
paying as the films are
usually back within two
days anyway.

A Place in London

9 metre high figure of Nelson. Today, it is a favourite
place for political ralleys, and many people go there to
celebrate New Year.

Sometimes he buys wine which is supposed to reach
its prime in several years'
time, but he usually ends
up drinking it after a few
weeks. Tom is not a great

A Group of Islands
This group of islands in the English Channel be-
longed to the Duchy of Normandy until 1205. As so-
called Crown Dependancies they do not belong to the
UK. They recognize the Queen, but not the British
Parliament. The governments of these islands make
their own laws and taxes and print their own bank
notes. Since 1969, they have also had their own
postage stamps and, as they have no VAT, they are
regarded as a tax haven.
What is the name ofthese islands?
