Q1.
When you are tired and don’t
want to cook, just pick up the phone. Restaurants are expensive and take
some time and effort to reach if you don’t live in the centre of town. Ordering food for home delivery is
cheap and these days there is a huge choice. Indian and Chinese are the most popular
but I prefer to get in a
pizza.
Q2.
A school group on a skiing holiday to Italy narrowly avoided disaster when their coach left the road and
fell eighty meters into a valley. Trees slowed down the falling coach and because of the fresh new snow the
vehicle landed quite softly. Amazingly no one was injured.
Q3.
A teenager from London is making news around the world. On his recent holiday in
Australia he set off
without his mobile phone. Experts are amazed that he is still alive after walking for fourteen days,
surviving extreme temperatures and living off the land. However, a lot of Australians are unhappy with
him. The rescue cost is estimated at more than 100,000 dollars.
Q4.
You
can buy almost anything, new or second hand, on the internet. On one site you can offer the price you
want to pay for something. Whoever offers the highest price can buy that item. Recently I made
the highest
offer for a nearly new pair of skis. However, I only paid half of what they would have cost new in a shop.
