Before he took up his new life, he cut down his belongings tojust a radio, a few clothes, books, aad photos At night he has a sleeping bag and a small stove Despite the difficulties, Sawyer is enjoying his challenge His original plan was to live outdoors for six weeks but he decided to keep on after finding it "pretty easy."

Check your dictionary This page nas intentionrlly lelt blank A ' C,, I disagree with this for three reasons First of all, I think it's better if all children look the same - especially for children

in the morning They don't have to make so many decisions about what I used to have to wear discipline A B ,', If I won a dream vacation in a contest, I'd go to Kenya or Tanzania I've always really wanted to go on safari, ever since I saw the elephants in the zoo when I was five years old If I could choose any car, I'd get a Ferrari or something like that Not ery practical, but a lot of fun -n If I could be very good at a sport, I think I'd choose tennis Every rveek I play my friend I(ate, and every week she beats me lt drives me crazyl If I could choose my ideai job, I'd be a news anchor

cook a really nice dinner for my friends when they come over If I could buy a house an1,.where, I'd buy a house in Arizona, with enough room for all my family and friends We could go there every winter for a vacation It would be fantastic friend called Laura We went to high school together \\rhen we were 16, she moved because of her father's job, but we kept in touch We used to write long letters to each other - e-mail didn't exist then I went to stay with her a couple of times, too We lost touch after college I'd love to see her again We used to be really good friends I used to dislike Absolutely, I agree with this First of all, girls work better on their own because they're not thinking about boys all the time AIso, if there are boys in the class, they tend to dominate and answer all the questions If there aren't boys,I think girls feel more confident Finally,I think without boys in the class, there aren't as many discipline problems because girls generally behave better than boys So teachers can concentrate on teaching and not on ' a a couple of teachers at school, but I suppose the one I remember best was my French teacher He was really horrible I don't think he liked kids or even teaching He used to yell at us and he didn't explain things well I failed French It was the only subject I ever failed at school I used to play a lot of squash, but I recently started playing tennis and now I like it better The problem with squash is that it's pretty hard and aggressive and maybe I'm just not in good enough shape to piay it any more Also, the friend I used to play with always beat me The great thing about tennis is that it's outdoors, and I play doubles with three friends It's less competitive and more fun The only problem is you can't play when it rains t A.r job in spite of all the downsides It took her years and years of studying and exams to get where she is now, and she's passionately interested in what she does" She also spends a lot of time reading articles and keeping up to date, and I think she does some teaching, too She loves her Personally I think banning fast-food restaurants would be a good idea, but I don't think you can that I mean, you can't ban a particular type of restaurant just because the food is unhealthy People have to take personal responsibility for what they eat, and if people want to eat burgers, you can't stop them But banning cars from downtown areas, that would be great, that would really make a big difference We need better public transportation, and the best way to get it is to make people leave their cars at home An1.r,vay, there's nowhere to park downtown Some people probably wouldn't like it at first, because everyone uses their cars so much, but it would make the downtown area so much nicer if you could walk around without worrying about the traffic Also, you could make pedestrian areas, with trees and cafes, and places to sit and read, or just watch Probably her only complaint would be that she doesn't have enough time for her son He's seven years oid and of course she has very little free time for him or for herself A.,' Near my house, there are a lot of small Asian stores selling vegetables and spices I love walking around in them, looking at everything I suppose my favorite stores are grocery stores I just love food I don't think I really have favorite stores for buying clothes, shoes, or books the world go by For presents, it obviously depends on what I am buying and who it's for I don't have one favorite store Bt I regularly shop at markets, supermarkets, and malls I like variety It makes shopping more interesting I think that both men and women read novels, but they read different types Generally men prefer reading science fiction and action novels Women prefer to read novels about feelings, emotions, and personal relationships I think men find that type of novel pretty boring and prefer something with more action in it I know that, personaliy, I don't really like science fiction, so I'm the I go shopping when I need to, and I usually go on my stereotype, I suppose I go to street markets sometimes You can often find bargains there Well, I think generally women like shopping much more than men, and they can spend hours looking around stores, not making any decisions, just looking at things own, since it's easier I enjoy buying books and I absolutely hate buying slvimsuits Shopping at sales is a nightmare because everything is mess and there are thousands of people I hate it a I've done a lot of shopping online It is so easy I have bought plane tickets, DVDs, and books However, my boyfriend and I aren't typical at all because he loves shopping, much more than I He can spend hours walking around all the stores, r,vhereas I find it very, very borir-rg c I'm going to tell you about my sister-in-1aw, Marion She's a cardiac surgeon, so she operates on people with heart problems It's an incredibly demanding job and very tiring Some of the operations she does last for hours, Iike heart transplants, and she has to be standing up and concentrating for all that time She works very long hours, and she also often has to get up in the middle the night if a patient of hers has gotten worse or something of She works in a big hospital, and she also has a private practice I'm not sure what her salary is, since we don't talk about things like that, but I imagine it's pretty high Actualiy, I once met several movie actors when they were making a TV movie in my hometown I even had a part because they needed extras I just had to walk up and down a street But I think they edited me out of the final movie! \\4rat I prefer, TV, DVD, or in a theater? It depends on the movie If it's a movie that I think I'm really going to like, I'd rather go to the theater to see it If it's just entertainment, then I'm happy to wait and rent the DVD when it comes out or watch it on TV I normally prefer seeing foreign films with subtitles, even if I don't understand the language they're in I think it's very important to hear the actors'voice and tone I've seen several movies this year but nothing really fantastic Ocean\ Thirteen, with George Clooney, made me laugh lot I thought it was very good a Machuca, a Chilean film, made me cry A movie I have seen several times is Titanic.It's my favorite mor.ie ever I have seen it a thousand times and I know the script by heart Bt A Could you tell me who your favorite fictional detective is? B Yes, my favorite detective's Chief Inspector Wexford He's the detective in a lot of the crime novels written by Ruth Rendell A \{4rat you like about him? c Someone I admire is the artist Winslow Homer, who was born in Boston, in 1836 I don't knor,v very much about his life I just really like his pictures I know that he had a huppy childhood in a small village near Boston and that his mother was also a painter He began his career doing illustrations for books and magazines In 1860, when he was 24 years old, he exhibited his paintings at the National Academy of Design in New York City During the Civil War in the United States, he painted scenes of the soldiers'life in the camps In his later life, he did a lot of paintings of the sea Those are my favorites - his painted scenes of fishermen fighting the huge ocean waves He traveled a little outside the United States, but he spent most of his life in his studio in a smali village in Maine By 1890 his paintings had become very popular and expensive He died in his studio in 1910 tL r A_,, Well, I completed the questionnaire and I scored 18, which means that I'm "naturally unlucky" and that I "don't attract good luck." I'm not sure that's really true I've always thought of myself as being a pretty lucky person I won $50 on the lottery once, which is more than any of my friends ever have It aiso says that I "need a more positive and adventurous attitude to life." It's true that I'm not very adventurous, but I think I am positive about life N{aybe I should be a little more open to new experiences, talking to new people, trying new food and so on - but on the other hand, I'm very happy with the friends I have and the food I eat I can see that new experiences might be enjoyable, but I'm not sure they really make you luckier In fact, I think that some people are just naturally unlucky, and there's not much they can about it B I like the fact that he's a very real character For example, he's happily married, which is quite unusuai for fictional detectives He's in his mid-fifties, he lives in a small village near the coast, and he has two grown-up children A Is his family important in the books? B Yes, aside from the murder or crime, part of the stories is always about his family For example, he has two daughters One of them is an actress, and the other is jealous of her because she's successful and she's Wexford's favorite A I suppose he always solves the crimes B Well yes, of course he does, but what I like about him is that he doesn't have any incredible powers He's an extremeiy good listener He iistens to everything, even pieces of silly gossip, which can often give him a clue that helps him solve the crime Then he sits at home and works things out \t4rat I really like about him is that he's just an ordinary person who's good at his job We have three TVs in our house - one in the living room, one in the kitchen, and one in our bedroom But we mainly just watch the one in the living room I have a friend who doesn't have a TV In fact, he doesn't even have a radio He says he prefers to read everything in the newspaper I get five local channels I don't have satellite or cable TV The channel I watch most is Channel because I think it has the most interesting programs I don't watch any foreign language channels However, I would like to have Mexican TV because I would like to be able to practice my Spanish I don't watch as much TV as I used to I normally watch one hour every evening on weekdays I hardly watch any TV on weekends There are always more interesting things to Write new words here How you pronounce them?
