He heard about a plane that had crashed into a mountain side, a plane from London to Geneva. It was the plane he had booked to fly on. There were no survivors. When Mr Frazer got back to London, he went straight to his office and rang up David Holliday. He asked him to come and see him when he started work this evening. When Holliday arrived Frazer took out his cheque book and wrote out a cheque for 5,000 pounds. He gave it to Holliday and thanked him for saving his life. He also sacked him immediately. WHY? Because he had been sleeping at work. Exercise 9. Read the text about London Transport and find the word that best fits each space. Travelling into London (1) .....is..... extremely straightforward.

Relationships within the British family are different now. Children have more freedom to make their own decisions. For example, children aged 13 may be employed part time in Great Britain. Age 15 is legally a "young person" not a "child". Age 16 is a school leaving age. They can leave home, drive a moped, marry with "parents' consent" buy beer. Age 17 can drive a car. Age 18 can vote, get married, drink in pubs. Education is a very important part in the life of British youth. One can't become an independent person without it. When time comes to enter a college a young Englishman chooses one far away from home. It is a necessary part of becoming adult. During the last 30 years there were a lot of different trends in youth movements. All of them were characterized by their own philosophy, way of life, style of dressing. Each tendency was born by the influence of economic and political changes in the society.

Lees, author of How to Get a Job You'll Love and Take Control of Your Career. Many of us get to the point, whether in our twenties, thirties, forties or fifties where we decide to change careers. Some of us will make radical changes, while others will move to the edge of their comfort zone, perhaps shifting from acupuncturist to homeopath or PR office to journalist. But the key to making the right decision, says Lees, is to bring your dream back down to life with a hard thump. "I always say to people, 'Find out what you will actually be doing in the job of your dreams. What does the nitty-gritty day-to- day work involve?'" Conversely, he says, people should not be put off by their dreams. "If you did a straw poll of the number of peoplewho think about changing career and those who actually do it, you'd be looking at less than 5 per cent. And yet it's never been easier.
