“English lite’ ~ simple language that
people all over the world can.
‘understand,
“The language spoken all over the
world, by 88 per cent of the people, is
not exactly English, but it works; it does
the job.”
Nerri¢re, who retired from the
computer giant, IBM, speaks excellent
English. The main feature of Glabish is
that ic has only 1,500 words. Grammar
isn't important. He had the idea while he
‘was at a meeting in Paris. Before the
meeting, one hundred colleagues from
over forty diferent countries were
talking in a sort of English. Everyone was
happy, and everyone understood. Then
the two American speakers arrived to
talk to the group. They began by saying
“Hi, 'm Jin? *Hi, I'm Bill” but after thae
no one understood a word they said. And
the Americans had diffculey
understanding other people in the group.
Thisis the problem. Do native
speakers of English understand Globish?
No worries. Nerrite is writing 2 version
of Globish to help the English
understand.

+ astereosystem + acomputer
‘Once upon a time a child’s bedroom had litle more than
4 toy box, a book shelf and a few posters. Today it looks,
‘more like mission control at Houston,
Computers, mobile phones, televisions, DVD players,
‘game machines, and other 21st-century toys fillthe room,
and often make the child's bedroom the most expensive
in the house. Britain's 8- to 16-year-olds have bedroom
possessions worth an average of £3,300.
But they don't just have hi-tech items. The average
child’s room also has designer clothes, sunglasses,
watches, jewellery, nd sports equipment. More than four
in ten children have rooms that combine home office,
‘mini cinema, and gym. Nine in ten have a TV, and seven.
in ten a DVD player. Neatly all of them have a stereo
system and six in ten have either a personal CD player,
‘Pod, or MP3 player, One in four has their own computer.
With so much to do in their bedrooms, it is no
surprise that children spend more time there than
anywhere else in the house. One girl spends so long on
het mobile phone in her room that her parents have to
text her to speak to her. Another child disappears into
room as soon as he gets home from school and plays on
his PlayStation until bedtime.
Children’s bedrooms have become their kingdoms.
‘Some families rarely do anything all together. People eat
different meals at different times, and watch different TV
programmes in different rooms.

best tourist attraction
The London Eye is among the world’s most
famous landmarks —- more famous than the
Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, and the
leaning Tower of Pis
THE 135M-HIGH EYE on the south bank of the River
Thames was voted the world’s best tourist attraction in a recent
__ poll, more popular than sights such as the Sydney Opera House
and the Vatican in Rome.
James Elliot, director of the British Tourist Board, said the
London Eye represented the modern face of Britain. ‘We are
known throughout the world for our history, but the London
Eye isa modern monument.
“It’s not just the attraction itself, but the wonderful views of
other London attractions, such as the Houses of Parliament
_and St Paul's Cathedral, that make it so special,’ he said.
‘Mr Elliot said it was the most popular tourist attraction in
Britain, receiving 4.2 million visitors in 2005. It is the biggest
“big wheel” in the world. Since it opened in 2000, it has
welcomed more than 25 million visitors, and has won more
than 40 awards.
In the poll, New York's Bloomingdale's was voted the best
department store. The Great Wall of China was the best
wonder of the medieval world, and the Pyramids in Egypt were
the best ancient wonder.

46 Unit 8 - Do’anddont’s
- TODD CHRISTIAN, the Human Cannonball, has lost his job,
because he is terrified of flying. But it isn’t the enormous
cannon that scares him, it’s aeroplanes! He is quite happy to fly
30 metres above the circus at 80 kph, but he won’t get on a
plane.
When Toda, 26, injured his leg during a performance, the
circus said he should go to Brazil for a special training course.
But Todd refused to go. He said, ‘I know it sounds crazy,
because I'm a human cannonball, but I don't like long flights. If
P'm ona plane for along time, I start to panic?
So the circus told him he had to leave his job. Todd said he
was very upset. He is now discussing the situation with his
lawyer. He thinks he doesn't have to do the course.
Meanwhile, Brazilian Diego Zeman, the Human Rocket, has
arrived at the circus to take Todds job. Senhor Zeman has
already done the special training course. ‘I feel sorry for Todd,
but this is my dream job and I'm very happy; said the Human
Rocket.
Marnie Dock, who became the world’s first female human
cannonball at the age of 16, is now the circus’s cannon trainer.
She thought that Todd should do the training course. She
explained that the circus had to be very strict, as the human
cannonball performance could be very dangerous. ‘We did it
for his own safety’ she said,
Meanwhile, the circus has offered him another job - as a

10 The girl who reads aloud
The Girl Who
Reads Aloud
by JIM YARDLEY
BEIJING - Most mornings, while a noisy queue of
traffic is driving slowly along the Third Ring Road
into the city centre, a girl called Ouyang Junying
leaves her flat and stands beside the road. She
turns away from the traffic, opens a book, and
starts reading aloud.
It is one of the worst traffic jams in the city, but,
Ms Ouyang, 29, has been doing this every
morning for nearly five years. She is studying
English and believes that the noise helps her to
concentrate.
Its also the reason why she has become a sort,
of celebrity. For thousands of motorists, she is
“The Girl Who Reads Aloud’ While she is reading,
the rest of Beijing stares at her and wonders, ‘Who
is this young woman? How long has she been
standing there? And why is she reading in such a
terrible place?”
In Beijing, there are 15 million people living in
very small flats, so there are lots of people in the
city parks, doing cverything from tai chi to
ballroom dancing. But Ms Ouyang doesn't like
the parks. ‘If I study in a park, people always
watch me and I don’t feel comfortable, But if cars
pass me in the street, don't care; she says.
Read the newspaper article and answer the questions.
Which road does Ouyang Junying live near to?
Why has she been doing this?
‘Why has she been studying English for so many years?
‘What has happened since the TV programme?
How has she been helping the architect?
‘What has she been doing every morning for the last five years?
a
s
Ms Ouyang, the daughter of a poor farmer,
came to Beijing in 1995 to look for work. She has
had a number of different jobs. She has also been
studying English for nearly ten years, because she
hopes that it will get her a better job with better
money. Recently she has been on local TV! She
has become famous as a person who always works
hard and tries her best.
Since the TV programme, she has had a new
job. She has been helping an architect in his work.
‘And what has she been doing? Teaching him
English, of course!
