Trang 229 HOLIDAY D E ST IN A T IO N S FO R V EG ETARIANS
Thanks to cheap air travel, for so many people the world has 0 so grovvn signiíicantly smaller over the last decade, but to vegetarians the 00 y
planet can still seem like írustratingly limited For the millions of us 1
who don't eat meat, getting the right food while on the holiday can 2
be a key íactor when choosing which our destination On countless 3
trips abroad, after looking round at delighttul cities such as Seville or 4
Prague, I have been obliged to eat omelette and chips for dinner as 5
no any other vegetarian dishes were available Some years ago I was 6
looking fonward to my first visit to Cuba when some vegetarian triends 7
returned from there They had really liked the country but told to 8
me to expect two weeks of nothing but rice and beans As a result, 9
I have cancelled my booking Since then, countries with a meat-based 10
food culture have been off my travel menu Why pay for to go hungry? 11
On the other hand, food can also be encourage people to visit 12
certain places India is a íascinating country, and the fact that ninety 13
per cent of menus are vegetarian adds up to its attraction Offering 14
a such wide range of delicious non-meat dishes, Italy is another 15
holiday destination vvhere vegetarians can feel at home 30 THE IM PORTANCE OF FA TH ER S We can tend to think of poverty as the main cause of violent crime, 0 can Hovvever, research from both sides of the Atlantic shows that íathers 00 y may be the most important íactor in preventing to children from turning 1
over to crime In the United States, children from better-off íamilies were 2
compared with ones who from íamilies with lower incomes Children from 3
both groups that lived with their íathers also committed the same number 4
of crimes In the United Kingdom, a study was carried out of comparing 5
a group of boys who had never been accused of not any crimes with 6
another group were living in a detention centre after committing crimes 7
such as assault and stealing vehicles All the boys had difficulties at 8
the school and came from large íamilies that didn’t earn a lot of money 9
The biggest ditíerence betvveen from the groups was that fifty-five 10
per cent of the 'good boys’ lived with their tathers, while only four 11
per cent of the ‘bad boys’ did it Eighty per cent of the well-behaved 12
boys said how they felt close to their íathers even if they didn’t live 13
in the same house It seems that by having a tather who takes an 14
interest in his children encourages youngsters not to break the law 15
Stainless Steel was discovered by an accident in 1913 by the British 0 an
metallurgist Harry Brearley He was experimenting with Steel alloys - 00 y

Trang 3combinations of metals - that they would be suitable for making gun
barrels A few months later he had noticed that most of his rejected
specimens had rusted although one was containing 14 per cent
chromium had not The discovery led to the development of stainless
Steel Ordinary Steel go es rusts because it reacts easily with oxygen in
the air to produce crumbly red oxides other metals, such as aluminium,
nickel and chromium, also react in a much the same way but their oxides
form an impermeable suríace layer, stopping oxygen to reacting with the
metal underneath With Brearley’s Steel, the chromium tormed such as
a film, protecting the metal from turther attack, and the whole su ccess of
stainless Steel is based well on the fact that it has this one unique
advantage In fact, a variety of stainless steels are now made One
of the commonest contains of 18 per cent chromium and 8 per cent
nickel and is used for kitchen sinks Kitchen knives are made of Steel
containing about 13 per cent chromium A very more corrosion-resistant
alloy is achieved by adding up an incredibly small amount of the metal
molybdenum - t h e s e steels are used as cladding for buildings.

The ad was ansvvered by a young woman, recently widowed and with a small baby, desperate for work of any kind The hours were long and £400 seem ed very little for three months of employment But she was absolutely desperate and she got the job It proved harder than she had been anticipated, as the íamous vvriter proved as tyrannical, ungrateíul and a slave driver The first week of helping to him was almost more than the young woman felt she could stand Only did the thought of the bread that she was putting in her baby’s mouth prevented her leaving from the job At the end of the tirst week, she was given a lift at home by the cookery writer’s secretary On the way she contided how desperately she had needed the job and admitted just how vvelcome even the miserable £400 was mentioned in the advertisement would be The secretary gave her such an odd look that the young woman asked what it the matter was “I don’t think you quite understand," ansvvered the secretary “It’s you who has to pay for him £400."

Trang 4expert who solves crimes on her Computer using iníormation given to
her by her assistants, who go out and intervievv to people The case in
the film concerns about the wife of a millionaire, who has gone missing
Sometimes the plot gets a bit complicated but it isn’t too hard to keep
up with it There are a lot of strange characters in it, such as a man
who always wears two hats on and some of the scen es really made me laugh Also, there is a big surprise at the end but I won’t say you what
that is in the ca se you go to s e e it It’s very well acted and I also like
the music in it But what do I really like most about the film is that
it’s so original - l’ve certainly ever seen another film quite like that.
It is certainly true that in recent times money has become so more and
more important in sport I think that in some ways this is not a good
thing People seem to be Involved themselves in some sports just to
make money and not because of they really care about the sport For
example, som e íootballers get being paid an enormous amount of money but sometimes they don’t seem to care about the team they are playing
for, vvhich this makes the fans very angry And sometimes it looks as if
some sports are run so that television companies, the people who own
clubs and the companies that provide sponsorship can make a big protit; the public who watch these sports don't seem like to matter at all On
the other hand, you could say that in these days sport has become a
global business, and so it is not surprising that money plays such an
important part in it Also, it could right be argued that the top players
are so tamous and be under so much pressure both from fans and the
media that they deserve for the enormous amounts of money they earn.
Many of the developments of the 20th century have changed the way
we live enormously, but a few of them have had the impact of the
motor car In the most parts of today’s world, it is very difficult for
most of people to imagine lỉfe wỉthout it - getting to work, goỉng on
holiday, visiting tamily and triends would not be possible for a lot of
people Som e of tamilies have more than one car Hovvever, despite all
of the advantages the car gives us, it also has a several disadvantages.
In lots of cities there is so much congestion that none of the traffic
can move during the busiest periods And much of the pollution that
affects many places is caused by the motor car Many of people think that motorists should give a little bít of thought to these problems and
make a little effort to resolve them, perhaps by using their cars less.
With a bít of co-operation, progress could be made, they say.

Trang 536 SHAKESPEARE
Among all of vvriters in history, Shakespeare is perhaps the most 1
well-known Many of the plays he vvrote are still períormed regularly 2
in many of countries in the vvorld Over the years there has been a 3
lot of disagreement among scholars and experts about the meanings 4
of Shakespeare’s plays; som e of the books about him even suggest 5
that he didn’t really vvrite all the plays that have his name There has 6
been a lot of research into his life and work but few of the theories 7
about him can be proved A few people have even said that Shakespeare 8 was really a vvoman but there is little of support for this theory! 9
Many visitors go to Shakespeare’s birthplace in strattord in England 10
and a lot of them go to s e e a play at the Royal Shakespeare Theater there 11
A few of tourists find it diffĩcult to understand the play because the 12
language is old Because they don’t understand much it they either 13 leave after a short time or are asleep all the evening! Hovvever, 14
with a little of ettort it is possible to enjoy the plays even if don’t 15
have much of knowledge about them The productions are alvvays 16 entertaining and few of people have dittìculty in following what is 17,

when he had started singing and making recordings Soon, his records 4
were extremely successíul and when his tirst appearances on television 5
caused a sensation because parents disapproved of the way that he 6
