Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would be
surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it. Well, almost.
"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria. "But we have so much we want to do
together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard,
agrees. "Both our minds are now fixed firmly on the future. I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or
the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes. Our
marriage is so much more important than the wedding."
"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our
own place. We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs
in the new year." Both Victoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings. Do they intend to add to the
extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me.
"Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just
perfect."
The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle.
Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue. "I would like to go
travelling as much as possible together. Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience. I think
it's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also has
another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone. "I have always been fascinated by safari
and my real wish is to go on safari. Richard has no interest in wildlife though."
And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and
Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully
that "our ambition is to always talk to each other. If you stop communicating, what chance do you
have?" His wife goes along with that completely. "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not
expect everything to be easy. I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know
each other. I think it's the start."

The building company Hong Kong Housing is building a new suburb in Shanghai, a city with a population
of more than 15 million people. But this suburb is not like other parts of Shanghai. It is a little piece of
England. The name of the new area is "English Town". The manager of Hong Kong Housing, Shi
Guangsheng, says many people in this area of China want to buy an English house and live in an English
town.
"This town is like Bristol or Chester. There is an English square and there are pigeons to feed like in
Trafalgar Square, London. There are four English-style pubs and you can buy English beer to drink. There

is a canal and you can row a boat there like in Cambridge."
Are there any cricket fields? "No, there aren't any places to play cricket because nobody in Shanghai can
play this game. But there is a football stadium like those in England. And the thing we are very proud of
is our shopping street. There are several shops where you can buy traditional English food like fish and
chips or Christmas Pudding."
The rich Shanghai businessman can do some gardening too. For with every house in "English Town",
there is an English lawn and there are long gardens with ponds and tall hedges.
But there is one problem. The houses in this part of town cost a minimum of $400,000!

Read the following talks about eating out and answer the question below:
1.The last time I went to a restaurant was about 2 months ago. My wife and I wanted to celebrate our
wedding anniversary with a good meal so we went to an expensive Italian restaurant in downtown
Lisbon. We both had pasta to start and for the main course my wife ordered a steak and I chose fish. For
dessert we both ate chocolate cake topped with fresh cream. Delicious!
2. I went to a restaurant yesterday evening with my sister's children. It wasn't very expensive and the
menu was very limited. We all had a burger and French fries, and drank cola. It wasn't very good.
3. My boyfriend loves spicy food so this restaurant was perfect. The waiters were all really friendly and
polite, and they played traditional sitar music which was very relaxing. The menu offered vegetarian
dishes as well as meat dishes served with rice and a sauce - it depended on how hot you wanted it! I
chose a mild beef curry but my boyfriend had a lamb 'vindaloo' - he also drank 2 liters of water!!
4. My class at the university went there last weekend. It's a very popular type of restaurant in my
country. It generally offers one type of food (a kind of bread with cheese and tomato sauce) which you
then choose what ingredients to add on top of it. I asked for olives and mushrooms on mine and my
classmates each had something different so we could taste a piece of each person's meal.

cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children

how to make good food,
Class member Bill, aged ten, says, ‘I love my mum’s cooking and now I can do it better than her. The

Siem Reap is a small town near the world famous temple of Angkor Wat. The town is charming and
worth exploring, with some fine examples of Khmer and French colonial architecture set among the
more modern developments. Nowadays, visitors are flocking in, using it as a base for visits to the nearby
temples.
From the 9th to the 14th centuries, when Europe was still struggling out of the Dark Ages, the

Cambodian Empire of Angkor covered most of present-day Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. The
heart of this empire during the 12th century was the ancient capital of Angkor Thom, near present day
Siem Reap, the site of the world’s largest temple complexes, which were rediscovered in 1861.This
spectacular city was built over 30 years under the reign of King Suryavarman II (1113-1150). The area
covers about 400 square kilometres and is full of the finest examples of Khmer art and architecture.
Tourists are always amazed at the scale of the place.
In Angkor Wat you will find more than 100 stone monuments and temple buildings, each of which
contains countless statues, sculptures and reliefs that have weathered extremely little over the last 800
years. To see the whole thing can take several days. The most important temples to visit in the area are
Angkor Wat, especially at sunrise or sunset; Angkor Thom, the remains of the capital; Ta Prohm, a palace
overgrown by jungle; and Bayon.

Visas are required to enter Cambodia. You can obtain one on arrival at Siem Reap International Airport
for $20, and 1 passport photo is required per person. You will also need another passport photo for the
Angkor Temple Entrance Pass. Please ensure you take comfortable walking shoes, light clothing and
plenty of water to drink as it is very hot there. The most commonly accepted currency in Cambodia is the
US dollar.

Early morning in California, and Elizabeth Safran, a public relations consultant, is dealing with a huge
number of e-mails. Everybody in the small company works from home and relies on e-mails and instant
messaging to stay in touch. Elizabeth worries about her work-life balance and thinks that ‘technology
makes us more productive, but everyone is working all the time – weekends, evenings. It is too much.’
Five o’clock Friday afternoon in the , Paul Renucci, managing director of a systems integration company,
switches off his computer. He now works at home and is off to pick up his children. In the past, it would
take him two hours to get home from the office.
Ms Safran and Mr Renucci represent different side of a modern problem: the capacities of the latest
communications technologies, such as e-mails, texts, messaging and video conferencing, make it difficult
to draw the line between work and leisure and raise important questions about the nature of ‘flexible
working’- where employees can work where and when they choose.
There are three issues here. First, does the rise of portable, networked devices such as the Blackberry
and Palm Treo really damage an individual’s work and life? Second, what is the effect of these devices on
traditional workplace relationships? And third, how do individuals manage them?


A Microsoft survey found that where flexibility had increased, so had productivity and employee morale,
together with lowered stress levels and staff turnover.
However, individuals can suffer technology-related stress as work moves into their free time and from
the complexity of the gadgets they must use, such as mobile phones where manufacturers try to
persuade customers upgrade more frequently.

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies rushing
into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in the sector could be
jeopardising future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact of what they are doing
carefully.It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in
order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social structures.
The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of


the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically
in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights
campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as
there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN
warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make
sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There
is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important
biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create

palm oil plantations.An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for
climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social
and environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater measure taken to increase
efficiency and to reduce demand.

Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to improve their

intelligence and intellectual performance. A research group has suggested that such drugs might
become as common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades.
To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drugs tests like athletes. There are already
drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to children with
problems concentrating. A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps people remember
numbers.
These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people already take vitamins to help them
remember things better, so it will not be a simple problem to solve. It will probably be very difficult to
decide at what point a food supplement becomes an unfair drug in an examination.
