Harrods is probably the most famous department store in the UK. It's over 150 years old and it has 330 departments on seven floors. On special days, about 300,000 customers come and spend their time and money in Harrods. More than 5,000 people from over fifty different countries work for the store. However, the staff are not just shop assistants. Harrods has its own hairdresser's, doctor's, bank, fire brigade, and much more. A huge team of people clean and look after the store. This includes checking and changing the 11,500 Iight bulbs on the outside of the building. Harrods is famous for providing 'all things, for all people, everywhere'. Whatever you want, you can buy it at Harrods - from expensive jewellery and furniture, to paper and pens. Someone even bought a baby elephant called Gertie as a present for Ronald Reagan. However, many people come to Harrods just to look and not to buy and this can be a problem. Sometimes the doorman doesn't let people in because they are wearing the wrong kind of clothesl

Going to and the Present Continuous can be used to express similar ideas. Choose depending on what you mean.

With the verbs go and come, we usually use the Present Continuous.

Oefining relative c1auses come immediately after the noun in the main ctause. Use who to talk about people, which to talk about things and where to talk about places.

Read the texto (ircle the topics in the box which are mentioned. drinking tea football English food driving habits being polite libraries the weather

Looking at .., England


There are ideas about England and the English which are just not true. England does not stop for afternoon tea every day, although the English do drink a lot of the liquid (hot, with milk) and although the weather is very changeable, it doesn't rain all the time! Also, there's lots of good food in England. No, really! In the major cities you'll be spoilt for choice, with the cuisine of almost every nationality on offer. Indian food is a particular favourite of the English. To find proper English food, try eating in a traditional pub.

The famous English politeness is everywhere. The English use 'Please', 'Thank you' and 'Sorry' more than most nationalities. For example, if you step on someone's foot, they'll probably say 'Sorry' to you! If you make a complaint, it's also usual to begin with 'Sorry' as in: 'I'm sorry, but this soup is cold.' You may think it strange on the London Underground that people don't talk to each other, even when crowded together in the rush hour. Silence is usual as people their books or newspapers. That doesn't mean people are unfriendly. It just means you might have to know them first!

Read the text again. Mark the statements true (T) or false (F).

1 The English don't like their tea to be hot.

How do you think the words above are connected with Nelson Mandela?

The charity Seeds jr Africa has started its first prison vegetable garden at Kabwe Prison in Zambia. There are 500 prisoners at Kabwe Prison and the prison garden will give them fresh vegetables to eat. More importantly, the prison staff hope that the garden wiIl increase the prisoners' self-esteem l. The Kabwe Prison garden was inspired by Nelson .Mandela who spent twenty-seven years in prison in South Africa. Gardening helped 1-1andela to increase his self-esteem. 'l\ly garden was my way of escaping what surrounded usoI looked at all the empty space we had on the roof and how it got sun the whole dav. I decided I'd like to start a garden and after years of asking, I received permission2. 1 asked for sixteen large oil drums and asked the staff to cut them in half for me. They then filled each half with soil, and created thirty-t:wo giant flowerpots. A garden was one of the few things in prison that I could control. It gave me the simple but important satisfaction of planting a seed, watching it grow, watering it and then harvesting it. It was a small taste of freedom. In some ways, I saw the garden as being like my life. A leader must also look after his garden; he too, plants seeds and then watches, cultivates3, and harvests the result.'

When she was sixteen things started to go wrong again. The media attention was very difficult for her and her family. She had arguments with her mother about her boyfriend. She sacked her mother as manager and went to live with her boyfriend. The newspapers said she went clubbing every night. Everyone said that it was the end of Charlotte's career. But again, this intelligent and talented young woman remained calm. She looks back at her experience with amazing maturity. 'At times, I've behaved badly,' she says 'but I haven't done anything terrible, just normal teenage stuff, except that for me it's all in the news. It can be difficult but it's part of being famous. Yes -I've had arguments with my mother - but what teenager hasn't? We're very c10seand she's always been very supportive of me.' So, it seems that for this Charlotte things have worked out fine. She's rich and happy and still loves making music. People in the music industry say she can do anything she wants ... and she probably will.

Read the text and choose the best title. The future of shopping The coffee shop 24-hour banking for the future

It sells bread, milk and cigarettes. But Shop 24 is not a good place to talk to the shopkeeper because there isn't one. Shop 24 is a new idea for shopping in the UK. It's a very big vending machine, the size of a shop. It's open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Is this the future of shopping? We tried it. Our shopping list: eggs, milk, brown breao, ham, toilet roll, fresh coffee, aspirin, vegetables, chocolate. It starts well. Shop 24 has eggs and milk. There are toilet rolls, aspirin, and lots of chocolate. But there is only white bread and there isn't any hamo There are no fresh vegetables and there is no fresh coffee.

I press the buttons to make our order. A big mechanical hand moves across the window. It picks up a box of eggs and drops it onto a shelf. The arm moves left and right collecting our order. It's fun to watch, better than normal shopping. Then, disaster: the eggs are broken and the door closes before lean take my shopping out. Sandy is watching. He started Shop 24. He read about a shop Iike this in Belgium. Now there are two Shop 245 in town, and he hopes to introduce fifty more in the UK. We finish our shopping in a local shop. It's much better than Shop 24 but it isn't open twenty-four hours a day. We ask the cashier about the new vending machine shop. '1think people will use it late at night. But people don't really Iike technology. Most people would prefer to talk to a face.'

until she was 100.

Her mind stayed young even when her body about her house

Jeanne Calment wasborn in 1875 and died in 1997. At 122 years old, she was the world's oldest persono She was born in ArIes and became a ce1ebrity in her horne town. Journa1ists asked her about the secrets of her long life. She to1d them she used to eat chocolate, put olive oi1 on her skin, smoke two cigarettes a day and drink red wine. But the truth, her doctor said, is that she never felt stressed. She once said, 'If you can't do anything about it, why worry about it?' She .a1sohada good sense of humour. When one visitor said to her, 'Maybe see you next year,' she replied, '1 don't see why noto You don't 100k so bad to me.' She used to ride a bike (she stopped when she was 100), and her mind was strong even after her body grew old. She said, '1 never get bored.' The best true Calrnent story was about her house. When she was 90, her 1awyer bought the house. He paid her on1y $400 a month, a very small amount of money. His plan was to get the house when Jeanne Calment died. But he died first, aged 77, after paying $180,000, much more than the house was worth!
