Carolina
Hi, I'm Carolina and I'm 21 years old. I live in
Berlin, but I was born in the south of Italy. We
moved here fram Italy when I was 14 because of my
father's work. I'm half German, half Italian. I
started working in the family business a few years
ago - we have a jewellers' shop. I work in the shop
every afternoon except Sundays, but it's a bit boring.
The city is OK but I never have time to enjoy it -
everything is so hectic. I often miss Italy.

Welcome to Tokyo - business capital of the
world. Work hard and play hard. Enjoy the
world's best sushi restaurants and most
modern shopping malls. Then, there's Japan's
traditional culture to discover: beautiful
temples, gardens and monasteries. The most
exotic and exciting place on earth!
But that's only half the story. If you don't
speak Japanese, it can be hard to integrate,
The streets are packed, there are tower
blocks and traffic jams, and the subway at
rush hour is a nightmare. No one nas time
for you. Life is expensive. Wl1en things get

1 JoshuaGordon Iives and works in Hong Kong. We asked
him some questions about his life there.
Why did you come here? To
work for an English bank. I have
a two-year contraet.
What language do people
speak here? Most people speak
Cantonese, but over a third of
the population speak English.
This is beeause Hong Kong used
to be British - the handover to
China was in 1997.
What do you like about the city? It's an amazing, vibrant
plaee - a real mixture of sounds, sights and smells. l1's
here that 'East meets West'.
Can you explain how 'East meets West'? Well, you might
find a Taoist shrine in the middle of an ultra-modern
skyscraper. You can eat in local Chinese places or in
European restaurants.
Is there anything you dislike about Hong Kong? Well, the
divide between rich and poor is very noticeable here. Also,
It's crowded and quite dirty and the humidity in the
summer is unbearable.
And what about the people? The Chinese are usually
friendly but they can be rude on the metro in the rush
hour!
Can you tell us one last thing you especially love? The
restaurants are the best in the world!
Can you tell us one last thing you hate? The cost of
everything, and the obsession with mobile phones.
And any advice for visitors? Come in the spring or
autumn - the summer ís just too hot and humid.
2 Answer the questions.
1 Why do many people speak English in Hong Kong?
2 When are the people not very friendly?
3 Why is it not a good idea to visit in the summer?

they symbolize?
Signs of Olympia
Olympic fever hits the globe every four years. For
the hosts, the Games are an opportunity to show
off their city to the world. We look at how the
Olympic logo can help.
Moscow 1980
This emblem shows a running track rising into a
tower, typical of Moscow1s buildings. At the top is
a star, representing its former Communist status.
One of the main aims of the 1980 Olympics was
to aid understanding and cooperation between
east and west. However, more than 60 countries
refused to compete because of the 1979 Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan.
Barcelona 1992
The red and yellow of the leaping athlete reflect
the Catalan and Spanish f1ags, while the figure1s
head reminds us of the Mediterranean Sea. The
fine weather, fascinating museums and galleries
and attractive buildings and monuments provided
an ideal backdrop to the Gomes. The event helped
turn Barcelona into a major tourist destination.
Beijing 2008
This figure is both a running athlete, and the
Chinese symbol for jing (as in BeijingL meaning
capital. The design is clean, simple and echoes
traditional Chinese culture and handwriting. With
the fastest growing economy in the world and
money to invest in stunning new stadiums and
arenas, it was only time before this new-Iook
superpower took centre stage.
Athens 2004
Athens has held the modem Games three times and
was chosen most recently in 2004, partly because
of its history as home of the Olympics. The emblem
shows a laurel wreath, which refers to the ancient
Games, where laurel wreaths were awarded to the
winners. The white and blue of the emblem
represent the colours of the Greek countryside.

3 Discuss these questions.
1 Have you ever taken a gap
year? Where did you go?
2 Where would you like to go
if you could spend a gap
year anywhere in the world?
Teachers and students agree - a gap
year is a unique experience that
can change your life forever. Gap
years usually begin when a student
leaves school in June and last uhtil
they start higher education in
October of the following year.
Prince William's decision to have a
gap year in Patagonia was typical of
young people in the UK - theytake
a break from studying and see some
of the warld before going on to
university ar college. It's an
opportunity to enjoy a bit of
adventure, travei, maybe gain some
work experience or spend some
time helping other people.
