Most people believe that health
is very important and because of
this, many are trying to eat more
healthily. For example, people in
the UK are eating less salt and
more low fat margarine and milk;
fruit is now America's second-
favourite snack and Japan is
currently promoting cocoa
because it is a healthy alternative
to soft drinks like Coca Cola. These
changes in eating habits are also
having an effect on the food
market. Global sales are
increasing for soy drinks and
drinkable yoghurts more than any
other food and sales of bread,
pasta, and cereals are growing
much more slowly. People are also
becoming more interested in fresh
fruit and vegetables and 'farmers'
markets' are getting more popular
throughout Europe, When they
can, people often opt for Jn3tural
goodness', and they're buying more
products that are healthy, like fruit,
salads, and nuts. They are also
buying products that help ID
protect the environment like
organic vegetables. So it's clear that
things in the food world will never
be the same again.

The fast, high-tech lives of Americans have had a big
effect on American society. Bad manners and behaviour
have become typical in our hurried world, from angry
drivers to loud mobile phone conversations in public.

Many Americans believe that manners manners. Computers, iPflcts, and

have got vrarse and official figures
confirm this. In a recent survey, nearly
70% said that people are ruder than
they were 20 or 50 years ago. This «
true of both large and small towns,
although 74% of those living in cities
said that people have become ruder,
compared with 67% in rural areas.
However, few people believe that
they have bad manners themsehres!
For example, only 8% in Ihe
questionnaire admit they have ever
used their mobiles in public in 3 loud
or annoying way.
Many people blame new
technology for our changing
mobile phoies take us away from
face-to-face contact, as well as
also being very annoying in public
places. 'All of these things result in
a world with more stress, more
chances (or people to be rude to

instructor on business manners.
But what can we do about it?
Some people would like to see a
railway carriage reserved for
mobile users, so that the rest of
us can travel in peace and quiet.
In fact, one American trail
company, Amtrak, Jia; banned
mobile phones in one carriage of
some trains, which is called a
'Quiet Car'.

5 'Kaomoji' are Japanese comic books.
6 Asian emoticons are read from right to left
7 Some computer programs auromatkaJty delete
emotkons.
fl It's a bad idea to use emoticons in more formal
messages,
known as verticons (vertical + icon) or 'kaomoji' in
Japanese, which literaLLy means 'face Letters'. You can
recognize these emoticons 'straight on', i.e. without
turning your head to one side. The style of these
faces is similar to the styLe in Japanese anime and
manga comic books.
Nowaday5 peopLe often use enioticons in emaiL
messages but people shouldn't use emoticoris in more
formal situations. One reason fs because some
programs automatically replace emoticons with
_Z_ images, for example, one man was discussing his
department's financial plan by email with his boss. He
wrote 401(k) in his emaiL (k - £1,000), but the
software automaticalLy replaced (k) with a pair of lips
giving a hig kiss, and

This week we talk to Rob Martin, who has written a book called You
Can Be A Movie Extra. He also has a company. The Casting Collective,
which was fonned in 1999. His company finds work for 'extras',
people who want to appear in supporting roles in films or on
0 television. He now employs 3,000 extras.
Rob says that people who have a more
average appearance and don't stand
out tend to get more work. He told us:
□ 'People who ate covered in tattoos or
are realty fat or reaily tall are only cast in
more specific roles.'
□ Working as an extra won't lead to an
Oscai nomination but Rob insists that it
is an art form. 'The extras work very
long houis and there's a lot of waiting
around . And then they'll suddenly be
required to dance like craiy for a
nightclub scene, and more often than
not they'll have to dance without any
music, which I'm sure is very difficult!'
So. what does it take
to be an eitra?
Rob says 'You have to have a good
sense of humour and you have to be
able to get on with people. As an extra
ifs youi job not to annoy the stars,
who always have a lot of pressure on
them.1
One of Rob's extras, Nobuko Slater, has
appeared as an extra in a number of
big films, but he hasn't given up his day
jab. He said '1 have a full-time job in
finance in London, but in recenl years
I've seen myself in the films Tomb
Raider, Spy Gome, and Legally Blonde1.
It all began when 1 fancied doing
something really different and I always
liked the idea of meeting film stars, I
applied for the role of 'Businessman
wearing smart clothes' in Tomb Haider
and they obviously liked my pictures
because a month later 1 was on the film
set. I only work as an extra for about
ten days a year but that suits me very
well. I'm already looking forward to
seeing myself in the next Harry Potter
fiim!'
Another extra, Lucy Wallis, warns people
who want to be extras that the job is
often not very glamorous. 'I was once
paid f 100 to pretend to be dead for
the day, for an episode of the TV
programme London's Burning'
Rob's book, which is packed with tips
about the film and TV industry, stresses
that extras have to be prepared for
anything, He adds: 'Working as an erxtia
doesn't pay very well, but it's unique
and it's fun. And although they don't
get much thanks for it, the extras are $
major factor in a film's success - don't
forget that!'

based on the Jack the Ripper
stwyA '959 film generally
follows the real events but doesn't
use any real names, and
introduces en American
policeman to help solve the

against the fictional detective
Sherlock Holmes. Holmes
ultimately succeeds in finding Jack

two movies based on the Ripper,
One of the biggest recent films
starred Johnny Depp as a
policeman searching tot Jack the

With «> few clues and
methods of detection at the time.
it seems the only way we might
discover the real identity of lack
time to one of the crime scenes
before a murder occurs. In J979's
Tiime After time, H. C. Welis uses
a time machine to find the
munkref. And the film makes an
interesting point - thai compared
with today's violence and crime,
lack the Ripper is almost an
amateur!
Over iJie years, teteirisbn has
also taken its inspiration from the
Ripper case lor a number o\
shows, ranging from the western
Omarron 5f«p to science fiction
in Star Trek. Today there are
hundreds of books, articles, films,
websites, and guided touri. and
even a recent musical and CD. Bui
: why so much interest? In 20W 3
television documentary concluded
that, even if someone had proof
of the Ripper's identity, people
still would not believe Iftem.
Perhaps in some way we want the
bloody mystery of Jack the Ripper
to remain just that - a mystery.

I don't agree with that. I mean, compared with ten years ago, there's A lot more information available about the fond we eat, on
TV and in the papers, and I think that nowadays young people know what's healthy and what isn't, much more than they did
before. And I think young people are also more concerned about their appearance than they were ten years ago. They want to
be fit and to look good. This means that diey'rt usually careful not to eat too much fatty food or too many carbohydrates. And
they know that eating fruit and vegetables is good for you and they try to do that. OK, so perhaps they still sometimes eat junk
food, burgers, and chips and things, when they go out, but I think in general they eat more healthily than say ten years ago.

I cheated in a chemistry exam when J was at secondary school. I think I was about 16 or 17 years old. I hated aU ihc- sciences -
chemistry, biology, and physics. J just couldn't understand them. I hated physics the most but I never cheated in the physics
exams because the teacher was really strict and he always watched us really carefully. The chemistry teacher was a lot more
relaxed. She was reading a book while we were doing the exam. I was sitting next to my best friend - lie was very good at
chemistry - and he'd written all the answers on a piece of paper. Then he folded the piece of papeT, put it in his pencil case, and
passed his pencil case to me. But just at that moment, the teacher looked up from heT book and saw my friend giving mL- the

improvising. To be honest, when I first started cooking
most of my food was terrible. But I learnt quite fast.
Except at the very beginning, 1 think I've found it quite
easy, mainly because I enjoy cooking and 1 enjoy
eating. But it's not something that everyone can learn
to do. I think some peopk are just too impatient to
learn to cook well.
I disagree with this for three reasons. First of all, I think
it's better iT all children look the same - especially for
children who come from poorer families. And secondly, I
think it's easier for the parents, They just have to buy one
set of clothes for their children, And finally, it's much
quicker for the children to get ready in the morning.
They don't have to make so many decisions about what to
wear.
Absolutely, 1 agree with this. First of all, girls work better
on their own beeaust they're not thinking about boys all
the time. Also* 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 so many discipline
problems because girls generally behave better than boys.
So teachers can concentrate on teaching and nut on
discipline.
[f I won a dream holiday in a competition, 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 1
was five years old.
If I could choose any car, I'd get a Ferrari or something
like that. Not very practical, bat good fun.
If 1 could be very good at a sport, I think I'd choose
tennis. Every week I plsiy my friend Kate, and every week
she beats me. It drives me mad!
Ff 1 could choose my ideal job, I'd be a newsreader on TV.
The money's good, and you only have to work for half an
hour every evening.
If I had mure time> I'd learn how to cook properly, I Jove
eating but I'm not very good at cooking. I'd like to be abk
to cook a really nice dinner Tor my friends when they
come round.
If 1 could buy s house in another country, I'd buy a ski
chalet in the Swiss Alps, with enough mom fur all my
family and friends. We could go ihere every Christmas
-it'd be fantastic.
f used to have a friend called Matilda. We were together at
secondary school. When we were 16 she moved because
oi her father's job, but we kept in touch. We used to write
long letters to each other - email didn't exist then, I went
to stay with her a couple of times too. We tost touch after
university. I'd love to see her again. We used to be really
good friends.
I used to hate a couple of teachers at school, but 1 suppose
the one 1 hated the moat was my trench teacher. He was
really horrible. I don't think he liked children or even
teaching. He used to be rude to us and he didn't explain
things well. I failed French - iL was the only subject t eveT
failed at school.
I used to play a lot of squash, but I recently started
playing tennis and nciw I much prefer it. The problem
with squash is that i t s pretty hard and aggressive and
maybe I'm just not fit enough to play 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 yuu can't play when it rains.

Personally I think banning fast food restaurants would be
a good idea, but 1 don't think you can do 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 ro eat
burgers, you can't stop them.
Bui banning cars from city centres, that would be great,
that would really make a big difference. We need better
public transport, and the best way to get it is to make
people leave their cai-s at home. Anyway, there's nowhere
to park in city centres. Some people probably wouldn't
like it at first, because everyone uses their cars su much,
but it would make the city centre so much nicer if you
could walk around without worrying about the traffic.
Also you could make pedestrian zones, with trees and
cafts, and places to sit and read or just watch the world go
by.
I think that both men and women read novels but they
read different types. Generally men prefer reading
science-fiction novels and action-based novels, and
women prefer to read novels about feelings, emotions,
and personal relationships. 1 think men find that quite
boring and prefer something with more action in it. I
know thai personally, I don't really like reading science-
fiction novels so I'm the stereotype, I suppose.
Well I think generally women like shopping much more
than men and they can spend hours looking around
shops, rtOL making any decisions, just looking at things.
However, my boyfriend and I aren't typical at all because
he loves shopping, much more than I do, and he can
spend hours walking around all the shops. Whereas I find
it really, really boring.
I'm going to tell you about my sister-in-law, Marjan. She's
a cardiac surgeon, so she operates on people with heart
problems. It's an incredibly responsible job and very
tiring. Some of the operations she does last for hours, like
heart transplants, and she has to be standing up and
concentrating for all that time, She works really long
hours, and she also often ha* to get up in the middle of
the night if a patient of hers has got worse or something.
She works in one of the big London hospital*, and she
also has a private clinic. I'm not sure what her salary is as
we don't talk about things like that, but I imagine it's
quite high.
She loves her job in spite of all the downsides. It totsk her
years and years of studying and exams to get to where she
is now, and she's passionately interested in what she does,
She also spends ages reading articles and keeping up to
date, and I think she does some teaching too. Probably
her only complaint would be that she doesn't have
enough time for her son. He's seven years old and of
course she has very little free time for him or lor herself.
Near my bouse there are a lot of small Indian shops
selling vegetables and spice*. I love walking uround them,
looking at everything,
I suppose my favourite shops are delicatessens. I just love
food. I don't think I really have favourite shops for buying
clothes, shoes, and books.
For presents, it obviously depends what I am buying and
who it's for. I don't have one favourite shop.
I regularly shop at markets, supermarkets, and shopping
centres. I like variety, it makes shopping more interesting,
[ go shopping when I need to and I generally go on my
own as it's easier.
I enjoy buying books and I absolutely bale buying
swims u its.
Shopping in the sales is a nightmare as everything is in a
mess and there are thousands of people. I hate iL
I go to street markets sometimes - you tan often find
bargains there.
1 have done quite a lot of shopping online, It is so easy. I
have bought flight tickets, films, and books.
Actually, I once met several film actors when they were
making a TV film in my home town. I even had a pan
because they needed extras. I just had to walk up and
down a street. But I think they edited me out of the final
Film!
What do I prefer, TV, DVD, or cinema? Tt depends on the
film, If it's a film that 1 think I'm really going to like, I'd
rather go to the cinema 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 prefeT 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 filrm this year but nothing really
fantastic
Manhattan Murder Mysteries by Woody Allen made me
laugh a lot. I thought it was veTy good.
Msnchuga, a Chilean film, made me cry.
A film I have seen sevtral Limes is Grease^ ITs my favourite
film ever. I have seen it a thousand times and I know the
script by heart.
Someone I admire, is the artist William Turner, who was
born in London in 1775. I don't know very much about
his life, or what he was iike as a person -1 jusi realty like
his picture. 1 know that his mother died whtn he was a
chikl, and he didn't reaily go to school very much, but he
was always good at artj even when he was very young. He
had an exhibition al the Royal Academy when he was 15.
His paintings are usually very dt-licate images, often of
rivers or lakes or the sea. One day he tied himself to si
ship in a storm so that he could really experience the
storm before he painted it. He travelled a lot in Europe
and painted beautiful uilics like Venice and Rome, When
he was older, he decided to five a lonely life, painting and
travelling on his own. He often refused to sell his
paintings - maybe he already had enough money. He died
in 1851, in London, I think,
L
A Could you tell me who your favourite fictional
detective is?
B Yes, my favourite detective's Chief Inspector Wexfdrd
He's the detective in a lot: of the crime novels written
by Ruth Ren dell.
A What do you like about him?
II I like the fact that he's a very real character. For
example* he's happily married, which is quite unusual
for fictional detectives, he's in his mid-fifties, he lives in
a small village near the coast, and he has two glH)wn-
up children,
A Is his family important in the books?
B Yes. apart from the murder or crime, part of the stories
are always about his family. For example he has two
daughters and one of them is an actress, and die other
is jealous of her because she's successful and she's
Wexford's favourite.
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
extremely good listener, he listens to everything; even
pieces of silly gossip, which can often give him a clue
which helps him solve the crime. Then he sits at home
and works things out. What I really like about him ji
that he's just an ordinary person who's good at his job.
Well, I did the questionnaire and I scored 18, which
means that I'm 'naturally unlutky' and that I don't attract
good luck'. I'm not sure that's really true, I've alway-s
thought of myself as being quite a lucky person -1 won
£50 on the lottery once, which is more than any of my
friends have done. It also says that [ 'need a more positive
and adventurous attitude to lire! I t s true that I'm not wry
adventurous, but I think I am positive about life. Maybe I
should be a bit more open to new experiences, talking to
new people', trying new food and so on - but on the other
hand, I'm vtTy happy with the friends I have and the fiiod
I eat, I can see that new experiences might be enjoyable,
but I'm not sure they really make you luckier. In fact, 1
think that some people are just naturally unlucky, and
there's not much they tan do about it.
We have three TVs in our house - <me in the living room,
one in the kitchen, and one in our bedroom. But vye
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 have five national channels. I don't have satellite or cable
TV. The channel 1 watch most is Channel 4 because I
think ii has tlii: most interesting programmes. I don't
watch any foreign channels islihtmyh I would like to haw
Spanish TV, because 1 would like to be able to practise my
Spanish. I don't watch as much TV as ] used to. I
normally walch one hour every evening on weekdays. I
hardly watch any TV at the weekend. There are always
more interesting things to do.
