Ways of commmunication
We can communicate with other people in many different ways. We can talk and write, and we can send messages with our hands and faces. There is also the phone (including the mobile!), the fax, and e-mail. Television, film, painting, and photography can also communicate ideas.
Morden media
Radio, film, and television have had a huge influence on society in the last hundred years. And now we have the Internet, which is infinite. But what is this doing to us? We can give and get a lot of information very quickly. But there is so much information that it is difficult to know what is important and what is not. Modern media is changing our world every minute of every day.

Shopping/ Living in the countryside
My uncle’s a shopkeeper. He has a shop in an old shop sells a lot of things – bread, milk, fruit, vegetables, newspapers – almost everything! It is also the village post office. The children in the village always stop to spend a few pence on sweets or ice – cream on their way home from school.
Shopping
It is now possible to buy almost everything in Warsaw. There are a lot of shops from the West, but the interesting thing is that Polish manufactures are now producing high quality goods. They are good because they are not mass produced for world consumption.
Hollywood kids
Growing up in Los Angeles ain’t easy
In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious, and the children are part of their parents’ ambitions.
Parents pay for extravagant parties, expensive cars, and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids learn the value of nothing because they have everything. Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves.
Hollywood kids
Growing up in Los Angeles ain’t easy
Often there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they’re ready.
Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids in Los Angeles live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are their only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already?
The most generous man in the world
Every morning, billionaire Milton Petrie walked from his New York apartment and bought a newspaper from a ragged old man on the street corner. One morning, the man wasn’t there. Petrie learnt that he was very ill in the city hospital. Immediately he paid his hospital bill and later, when the man died, paid for his funeral.
The old man was just one of the many people that Milton Petrie helped with his money. Whenever he read about personal disasters in his newspaper Petrie sent generous cheques, especially to the families of policemen or firemen injured at work. He also sent cheques to a mother who lost five children in a fire, and a beautiful model, whose face was cut in a knife attack.
The most generous man in the world
Whenever he read about personal disasters in his newspaper Petrie sent generous cheques. It cost him millions of dollars, but he still had millions left. He said that he was lucky in business and he wanted to help those less fortunate than himself. “The nice thing is, the harder I work, the more money I make, and the more people I can help.”
Milton Petrie died in 1994, when he was 92. His will was 120 pages long because he left $150 million to 383 people. His widow, Carroll, his fourth and last wife, said his generosity was a result of his poverty in his early years. His family were poor but kind-hearted. His father was a Russian immigrant who became a policeman, but he never arrested anyone, he was too kind. He couldn’t even give a parking ticket.
The richest, meanest woman in the world
Henrietta (Hetty) Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, U.S.A., in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and she opened her own bank account.
Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. She was called “The witch of the Wall Street”.
The richest, meanest woman in the world
Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. She was called “The witch of the Wall Street”. Her meanness was legendary. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken cookies (biscuits) which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her very much-loved dog, Dewey. Once, she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end, Ned’s leg was amputated.

Q: You’re both terribly busy in your separate careers. How do you find time to be together?
Donna: A lot of time since we’ve been together, one of us has been away. We really have to try hard to be together. We have both flown all over the world just to spend a few hours together.
Terry: Obviously, people say, ”Oh, you’ve got all this money, what are you going to spend it on?” But the best thing is that money buys us the freedom to be together.
Celebrity interview
Q: How did you two meet?
Donna: I went of one of his matches because I liked him and wanted to meet him. It’s funny, because I’m not really interested I football, so when I met him after the match, I didn’t know what to say to him.
Terry: I’m very shy. We just looked at each other from opposite sides of the room. But I said to my mate, “She’s the one for me. I’m going to marry her one day.” Fortunately, she came to another game, and we started talking then.
Q: Have there ever been times when you have thought “This relationship isn’t working?”
Donna: Not really. Naturally, it’s hard when you’re away from each other, but in a way this has made us stronger. A lot of people would love to see us split up. People have accused Terry of things
Terry: Of course you have to be prepared to give and take in any relationship. There’s a trust between us, and as long as that’s there, we will last.
Q: Terry, footballers are usually hard, but you seem very sensitive. Why is this?
Terry: It’s because this is the first time I’ve been in love. I think that when you meet the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, you change. You become a softer person.
Donna: We mean the world to each other. Neither of us will do anything to spoil it.
Dilemmas
Polly is 47. She is single and her children have left home. She is very successful in her career, and has a lot of friends, but she isn’t satisfied. She longs to change her life. She wants to live abroad, paint and write poetry, but her friends tell her she should stop being silly, and act her age.
Mike Garfield: I decided to give it all up and change my life dramatically three years ago. Since then, I have had the most exciting three years of my life. It can be scary, but if you don’t do it, you won’t know what you’ve missed. I don’t think she should worry. Go for it.
Nigella Lawnes: I think she should be very careful before she gives up her job and goes to live abroad. Does she think that the sun will always shine? If there is something in her life that makes unhappy now, this will follow her. She should take her time before making a decision.
Dilemmas
Jason’s company has bought him a mobile phone. They want him to keep it on all the time, so that they can contact him anywhere, anytime. He dislikes the idea of always being available, and he hates the way people use mobiles to have private conversations in public.
Jane Sands: Why should he accept it? He isn’t their slave, they don’t own him. And I too can’t stand the way people use their mobiles in restaurants, on trains and buses. They think that people around them are invisible and can’t hear. It is so rude.
Pete Hardcastle: He must keep it! He should have a word with his company and come to an arrangement with them. Why can’t he turn it off sometimes? Mobile phones are great, and if he’s got one for free, he’s very lucky. They are one of the best inventions ever.
Dilemmas
Sarah’s 24-year-old son lives at home, stays in bed till late, and watches T.V. all day. He buys and sells drugs. He’s clever, but he dropped out of school. He’s never had a job. His father wants to throw him out, but Sarah worries that he could get further into drugs and end up in prison.
Jenny Torr: Children always need the support of their parents, whether they are four or 24. I think you should pay for him to get some qualifications, and when he’s ready, you should help him to find somewhere to live. Meanwhile, you’ve got to give him all the love that he needs.
Tony Palmer: He’s using you. I think you should tell him to leave home. It’s time for him to go. Twenty-four is too old to be living with his parents. He’s got to take responsibility for himself. And you must tell the police about his drug-taking. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
