Live Forever ~ 

Ecuador 

ViLcabamba, a small village in the Andes, is often called 'the VaLLey of 

Long life'. What's its secret? Firstly, Vilcabamba is not very hot or 

very coLd - the temperature is usually between 18 and 27 degrees, and 

the air is very clean. SecondLy, peopLe work hard in the fieLds, and dcra 

lot of exerci se. Thirdly, their diet is very healthy - they eat a Lot of fruit 

and vegetables, and they hardLy ever eat meat or fish. The water they 

drink, from the river in Vilcabamba, is very rich in minerals. They also 

have a good sociaL life. In Vilcabamba peopLe say, 'The Left leg and the 

right Leg help you to be heaLthy, because they take you to your friends' 

homes.' 

Italy 

In Ogliastra, a mountain region of Sardinia, 

one out of every 200 people lives to be 100, 

and they are normally very heaLthy, too. Most of 

the peopLe in the villages work outside in their 

fields and with their animals. They have a heaLthy 

diet, with a lot of vegetables and not much meat 

or fish. They hardly ever take any medicine, but 

they usuaUy drink a little grappo before they go 

to bed. 'life is hard: says Fortunato, who is a 

shepherd, 'but I am never stressed. I never read 

the newspaper- because I can't read very welt.' 

Japan 

People in Okinawa in Japan do not have big meats. They usually just 

have vegetabLes and fish, and often eat soya. Okinawans are very 

active, and they often work until they are 80 or more. But they aLso relax 

every day - they see friends and they meditate. Ushi, from Okinawa, is 

107. In the evening she often dances with her daughter and has a gLass 

of soke. 'I want to have a boyfriend,' she says. When journalists ask 

people from Okinawa 'What is your secret?' they answer, 'We are happy, 

we are always positive, and we are never in a hurry.'

WHAT TO DOIN 

LONDON •• • 

WHEN IT'S VERY COLD 

Go ice skating at Somerset House. Somerset House is 

a beautiful t 8th century building on the river Thames. In 

the winter, the area in front of the house is made into an 

ice-skating rink. There is a skating school, where you can 

have lessons, and there are also late-night sessions and DJ 

nights. In November and December there is an enormous 

Christmas tree, and the cafe serves special Christmas food 

2 WHEN IT'S RAINING 

Go to South Kensington, and visit three wonderful 

museums. You can walk from one to the other because 

they are all very near. The Science Museum is very popular 

with adults and children. and also the Natural History 

Museum, which has Ufe-size rOQotic dinosaurs and other 

fascinating exhibits. The third museum, the Victoria and 

Albert Museum, is full of art and design from at! over the 

world. It has an amazing collection of fashion from the 

17th century to the present day. And if the sun comes out, 

cross the road into KenSington Gardens, one of London's 

many parks, and visit the famous statue of Peter Pan. 

3 WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING 

Go to Hampstead Heath, London's biggest park. 

From the top of Parliament Hill, in the south part of the 

Heath, you can see many of London's famous monuments, 

including 5t Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye. Have a 

picnic, and then, if it's hot, walk to the open-air swimming 

pool, where you can swim with plants and trees all round 

you. It is a magical place, and you can't believe that you are 

in the middle of a capitaL city.

Dublin - thefriendly city 

People don't usually think of capital cities as friendly. but 

people told me that Dublin is the exception, so [went 

[~e re to see if it was true - and it was! local people greet you 

like an old friend, they want to know everything about you, 

and about your day. The tourist guides are really friendly: for 

example. at the Guinness factory (somewhere you must go) 

they offer you a free glass of Guinness. The bus drivers on 

the tour buses (an excellent way to get around Dublin) tell 

very interesting and amusing stories about all the buildings 

and monuments they go past. They stop at all the main 

tourist attractions, for example Phoenix Park, the home to 

Dublin's zoo, St Patrick's Cathedral. and the main shopping 

areas (Grafton Street and O'Connell Street). When you want 

something to eat, the Temple Bar area is the place to go. Even 

in the restaurants Irish people want you to be happy. They 

often sit you at tables with other people, and the waiters tell 

jokes when they serve the food to make you laugh. In general, 

the food is great and very good value for money. there are 

lots of things to see, and hotels are cheap - how can you not 

be happy and friendly with all that?

the bar. Then we went to the beach at Florya and we had a swim. It 

was fantastic. The water wasn't very clean, but we didn't mind! 

~ It was a hot night and the sea was really warm, 

6 After our swim, we were tired and decided to go back, but I 

couldn't find my car keys! We went back to the beach and we 

looked everywhere, but it was toO dark, In the end I left the car at 

the beach and I went home in my friend's car! I got home really 

late, at 5.00 In the morning. 

7 It was a memorable night because we had a fantastic dinner and 

swim, but also because I lost the car keys - it was my father's car 

and he was really angry!

The man who wrote 

SHERLOCK HOLMES 

A(thur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on 

22nd May 1859. He studied medicine at Edinburgh 

University and as a student he began writing short 

stories. He became a doctor in the south of EngLand. but 

at first he didn't have many patients. So in his free time he 

began writing stories about a brilliant detective, SherLock 

HoLmes. Conan DoyLe based HoLmes' personality on his 

professor at university. HoLmes, who lives at 221 b Baker 

Street in London, is famous for solving difficuLt crimes 

and mysteries using his great intelligence. The Sherlod: 

HoLmes stories soon became very popuLar, but in 1893 

Conan Doyle became tired of his detective, and decided 

to 'kilt' him, In The Final Problem SherLock HoLmes and 

his enemy, Professor Moriarty, die when they fall off 

the Reichenbach Falls in SwitzerLand. But peopLe were 

very unhappy to Lose SherLod: HoLmes, and there were 

Letters in many newspapers asking for him to come back. 

Finally, in 190 I Conan DoyLe brought him back 

in a new story, The Hound of the BaskerviUes. 

He expLained that HoLmes did not die in the 

Reichenbach Falls, but miracuLousLy survived. 

Conan DoyLe died on 7th JuLy 1930, but 

' Sherlock Holmes continues to live 

both in the stories and in many fiLm 

versions. RecentLy he was the 

inspiration for the character

'Come in.' said Cl voice. Jane Ross opened the door and 

went into Cl small room. There was a man sitting behind 

Cl t able. 

'Good afternoon: said Jane. 

'I want to see Madame Yolanda, the fortune-teller: 

'Madame Yolanda isn't here today: said the man. 'But 

don't worry. I'm going to tell you about your fu ture. 

What questions do you want to ask?' Jane looked at the 

fortune-teller. She couldn't see him very well because 

t he room was very dark. 

He turned over the second card . 

'Mm, Cl house. A new house. You 're going to move, 

very soon, to another country.' 

'But my boyfriend works here. He can't move to 

another country.' 

'Let's look at the next card : said the fortune-teller. 

He turned over the third card. 

'A heart. You're going to fall in love.' 

'Who with?' asked Jane. 

'Let me concentrate. I can see a tall dark man. He's 

very attractive: 

'Oh, that's Jim: said lane. 

'Who's Jim? Your boyfriend?' 

'No. Jim's a man I met at a party last month. He's an 

actor, from New York. He says he's in love with me . It 

was his idea for me to come to Madame Volanda: 

'Well, the card says that you're going to fall in love 

with him: 

'Are you sure?' asked Jane. 'But what about my 

boyfriend?' 

'Let's look at the fourth card: said the fortune-teller. 

PART 5 

The fortune-teller stood up. He turned on the light. 

At that moment an old woman came in. 'So, what 

happened?' she asked. 

'It was perfect! She believed everything: sa id Jim. 

'I told you, I'm a very good actor. She was sure I was a 

fortune-teller!' 

He gave the woman £100. 

'That's Jane's £50 and an other £50 from me. Thanks 

very much, Madame Voranda . Bye: 

Madame VOlanda took the money. The fifth card was 

still on t he table, face down. She turned it over. It was 

the plane. She looked at it for a minute and then she 

shouted: 

'Wait, young man! Don't travel with that girl- her 

plane is going to .. :

The driving 

I think people drive Quite dangerously, 

which surprised me because I thought they 

were careful drivers here. They don't drive 

fast, but people are always on the phone in 

the car, which you don't often see in the 

UK nowadays. 

The food 

The food can be delicious, but I think people eat very 

unhealthily. In restaurants they often add salt to their food. 

And they drink litres of Coke! The headQuarl!!rs of the 

Coca-Cola company is based here, and they even have 

a Coca-Cola museum. Once I went to a coffee shop and 

asked for a double espresso, no milk no sugar. I had to 

repeat my order three times, because the waitress couldn't 

understand me. She said people here only ask for lattes 

and cappuccinos with lots of sugar! 

The people 

In general, people are very friendly. The people l"m 

staying with, who live just outside the City, know all their 

neighbours really well. They often don't lock their doors, 

which surprised me because people say it's a dangerous 

city. They speak incredibly slowly, with a strong accent and 

sometimes I have a problem understanding them.

Mark in 

The weather 

It's December - and it gets dark at about 

3 p.m., which is depressing! There's a lot of 

snow at the moment, but all the buses and 

trains are running perfectly. not like in Britain 

where everything stops when it snows! 

The houses 

All the houses are painted in pretty colours, 

like red, green and blue, and many houses have a yellow 

and blue flag. Inside the houses are decorated beautifully 

with lots of flowers and modern wooden furniture. 

The people 

People are friendly and polite, but Quite formal. They dress 

fashionably but casually, and of course you see a lot of 

very blonde women here. You also see a lot of men who 

are looking after very young babies. Everybody speaks 

English really well. maybe because a lot of the TV is in 

English with subtitles.

b Look at the high lighted words or phrases in rhe text 

and guess their meaning. 

Amy Johnson is an American who lives 

and works in England. We asked her to tell us 

about her first Impressions of the UK. 

One of my first impressions was that the UK is 

more expensive than the US. I live in Oxford and 

the cost of living, (rent. bilJs, food, etc.) is higher 

than in Ohio, where I'm from in the US. The only thing 

that is a lot cheaper here is healthcare - it's free to go 

to the doctor's or to hospital, whereas in the US it isn't, 

so you need to have health insurance, which can be very 

expensive, 

I think you can eat very well in England - there's a wide 

variety of food from all around the world - Chinese, 

Ja panese, Italian, Turkish, ete. - bu t eating out is more 

expensive than in the US, and the service is worse, 

Generally, I'd say British food is healthier than American 

food, and the portions are a lot smaller, too, 

As for the people, I find British people quite pessimistic 

compared to Americans who are usually very positive 

and optimistic about the future, Also, when I'm in Ohio 

talk to everybody: shop assistants, the person behind 

me in the supermarket queue, the person sitting next 

to me in the restaurant, but I can't do that in the UKpeople 

are much more reserved. But, on the other hand, 

think it is easier to make real friends here than in the 

US, I also find British

Onc of the first things I notiCl'd in Valencia is 

that p('ople cat out a lot. T hcy sp·end a 101 of 

lime in cafcs and bars. You find [leorle having

eakfast. or tea, in a ba r, not juSt lunch and 

dinner. Pl'ople who work go out toa barto 

ha\'e coffee. the), don't have it in their office. 

In restaurantS one thing rhar really surprised 

ml' was that whl'n pl'ople goOUt in big groups. 

thl' ml'n all sit alone I'nd oflhe table and thl' 

women at the other. 

AnOlher thing I nocice. maybe bl'causl' r m 

a woman myself. is what Spanish woml'n arc 

likl', or Valencian Woml'n maybe. Of course 

I"m a foreigner, but I find Ihat the women 

here talk vcr)' fas t and \'ery loudly, much 

mon' than Ihe men. Women dress \'ery wel l, 

especiall)' older women. and they always look 

i m III acul ar e! 

Finally. thl're's a m)'th that rhe Spanish 

don't work hard. but I don't Ihink it's true. it's 

JUSt thal they work diffl'rent hours. Pl'opll' 

have a long lunch break. but they fini sh work
