Almost all civilisations havetheir own tales of giants. Giantsare the oldest creatures to live onthe earth. They are of enormoussize and strength compared toordinary humans. In Albaniantales, giants are as tall as trees andhave long black beards that hangdown to their knees. Some giantsare kind and gentle while others canbe very cruel. lrish giants arepleasant creatures, English giantscan be very evil and Welsh giantsare clever.

In Germanic and Scandinavian tales, giantsor trolls can be either friendly and helpful or nastycreatures, but they are always frightening. They cantake the form of any animal they choose wheneverthey like and people believe that they cause storms,hurricanes and even earthquakes. We see them livingin castles or under bridges where they force travellersto pay money to pass. American folk tales describehow Paul Bunyan, a giant lumberjack who makes lakesand rivers whenever he wishes, creates the Black Hillsand the Grafu Canyon. He is a symbol of strength andenergy.

Are giants simply fairy tale characters? Scientistshave found gigantic skulls and huge jaws which theysay belopg to giants who were on the earth half amillion years ago. Moreover, there are many stories ofsightings of mysterious giant creatures. Many peoplebelieve that there is a giant human-like creature, theYeti or Abominable Snowman, living somewhere in theHimalayas. Others talk of Bigfoot, a large, dark, hairygiant with enormous feet, that lives somewhere in theCanadian wilderness. They say it is at least 2.2 metrestal l .

Giants fascinate people and appear in many stories,old and new, but the mysteries of certain giants suchas the Yeti mav be more than iust a fairv tale

From: Sarah LoriganTo: Ben ReedSubject: Greetings from Puerto Vallarta

Hi Ben,Greetings from Puerto Vallarta, one of the friendliest and most charming beach

destinations in the world! I'm having a wonderful time here. In fact, it's the best holiday I've

ever had.I'm staying in one of the most luxurious hotels on the coast and I'm spending most of my

time swimming and sunbathing on the beachl Puerto Vallarta has a tropical climate, with over300 sunny days a year, so it is much warmer than back home. In many areas of Puerto Vallartayou feel like you are taking a step back in time. The city has all the modern facilities a visitorcould ask for, but still keeps its unique Old Mexico charm.

The most exciting day I've had so far was when I went horse riding in the jungle. The tripwas more thrilling than I had imagined and I ended up taking hundreds of pictures!

Well, that's all from me! Have to go now. See you in a week.Love,Sarah

gifts from a shop that has no refund or exchange policy. If you are buying

through the Intemet, find out what options you have if the product is not

satisfactory.

@ Personally, whenever I don't know what to get someone, I buy them a giftvoucher. This way, the person in question can choose their own gift and you will'

Introduction

The aim of this report is to describe Newbridge Flea Market and assess its

Facilities

Newbridge Flea Market is ideally located near the central train and bus stations

in the heart of the town. Moreover/Yet, there is a very large car park only a

hundred metres away which caters for coaches. There are all sorts of

restaurants and snack bars in the streets near the market. Some of the best

caf6s in town are inside the market area itself. Although/However, the

streets,are quite narrow and crowded and sometimes there are pickpockets.

Shops and prices

There are 150 shops and stalls in Newbridge Flea Market that sell a variety of

products from antiques, old coins and stamps, to second-hand clothes andjewellery- In addition/Yet, this flea market is well known for its music shops

and many musicians go there to pick up second-hand instruments.

Although/Besides most products are sold at very reasonable prices, the caf6s

and restaurants tend to be expensive.

offer everyone. Although/However the market area could do with some

more security, I think it is an extremely pleasant place to go shopping.

Olympic Games, which were created by the Greeks thousands of

years ago. The first recorded date is 776 BC but the dtadiums

existed before then. Athletes came from many cities to compete,

and fighting between nations stopped during the games. Stadiums

then became part of Greek and Roman culture and thousands of

spectators often gathered to see athletes take part in sporting

events or to watch gladiators fight.

However, stadiums disappeared with

the fall of the Roman Empire and were

not used again until towards the end of

the 19th century. Since then, thousands

of stadiums have been built in bie cities

WI am a devoted DonaldDuck fan and although myfriends find it ridiculousthat someone over the ageof 10 has a cartoon duck fora hero, I am not ashamed.Donald is no ordinary duck.He is known throughout theworld and his comics andcartoons have beentranslated into almost everylanguage. I'm sure there

really aren't too many people on earth who haven't

heard of the world's most famous duck.

It all began in 1,934 when he appeared in the Walt

Disney cartoon The Wise Little Hen. He had a small

part, but his unique voice (created by Clarence'Duckie'Nash) and character made him a star almost

overnight. He then played in many Mickey Mouse

cartoons and in 1937 he finally got what he deserved:

the starring role in his own cartoon called Donald's

Ostich. His performances were so impressive that he

was often on the list of Oscar nominees, but sadly he

only received one, which I feel is a shame.

There is not much information available about his

personal life but here is what I've managed to find

out so far. Donald was bought up by his grandmother

and his rich uncle Scrooge McDuck. He has three

nephews Huey, Louie and Dewey and a cousin Gus, a

goose. He also has a distant European uncle calledLudwig Van Drake. I can't seem to find any

information about his parents or any brothers or

sisters, but I'll keep looking!

The Donald we all know andlove hasn't changed much

in 80 years. He's still thequick-tempered, lovableduck n ' i th that 40characteristic voice.What amazes me is that

despite his fame andfortune, he still doesn't

own one pair of trousers!

Presenter: which brings us to our next subject for today -

body language And with us to talk about this fascinatingtopic is the wel l -known psychologist Dr Sue Wi l l iams Thankyou for comingDr Williams: lt's my pleasurePresenter: Well, doctor Will iams Could you tell us exactlywhat body language is?Dr Will iams: Basically, it is communication using the bodyinstead of words For example, take a look at how we aresi t t ing r ight now You wi l l not ice that our bodies and ourknees are pointing towards one another When people sit thisway it usually means they are interested and feel comfortablewith the person facing them This is an example of bodylanguage, or non-verbal communicat ionPresenter: And is this form of communication of anVrmportance to us?Dr Will iams: Certainly! A lot can be understood fromsomeone's body language. I am sure you wi l l agree thatpeople sometimes say quite the opposite to what they reallyfeel But the body doesn't l ie and reveals the truth about howsomeone feels. So a good observer can get a lot ofin format ion about someone f rom thei r body languagePresenter: Oh! l ' l l have to be careful in future Terr me moreHow does the body speak, then?Dr Williams: In a number of ways The way we move ourhands, the posi t ion of par ts of our bodies such as our knees,as I have already mentioned, and of course the movement ofour eyes, give away a lot of information about us Somepeople, for instance, don't l ike to stand too close to theperson they are talking to because it makes them feel veryuncomfortable Others consider this to be a way of showinginterest in the person or a way of expressing a sense ofcloseness or friendshipPresenter: And is body language the same for everybody, ordoes it vary from culture to culture?DrWill iams: Yes, body language depends a lot on culture Afew facial expressions and gestures may be common to all butin general, people of different cultures tend to have verydifferent ways of expressing themselves In some countries,for instance, it is necessary to look into the eyes of the personyou are talking to in order to show interest in what he or sheis saying, whi le in other countr ies, i t is rude or insul t ing tolook into someone's eyes. Also, in some countries, noddingyour head expresses agreement while in others this wouldmean that you disagree.

Ta pescriptsPresenter: That's odd, isn't it? lmagine not knowing ifsomeone agrees with you or not How about women andmen - any differences?DrWill iams: Oh yes According to recent research, women usebody language more than menPresenter: Well, that seems reasonable to me Let,s take ashort commercial break and we'l l be back in a few minutes.

Presenter:Now, if everyone's ready, l 'd l ike to talk about giving speeches

and presentations. The key to doing this successfully is, of

course, preparation. lf you are well-prepared and know what

you want to say, then you won't feel nervous. Keep your

notes in front of you to look at while you are making your

presentation. However, try to keep them short, clear and easy

to read

NoW a word about using videos, slide projectors and other

audio/visual equipment lf you decide to use these in your

presentation, especially things l ike microphones and

amplif iers, check that they are working properly before you

begin speaking As for speaking itself, the rule is to speak

louder than you think you need to Most people talk much

too quietly and nobody can hear what they're saying.

Finally, even the best speakers dry up sometimes lf this

happens to you, the worst thing you can do is panic! Try to

stay calm because this wil l help you remember what you want

to say Above all, be professionall A speech usually turns out

to be bad when the speaker is shy or when his preparation is

poor. On the other hand, the most successful speakers are

both confident and enthusiastic To give you an example of

wha t lmean . ( f ade )

Womon: OK class, we've gone over how to use the public

transport system and now l 'd l ike to make sure that you all

know how to use the public telephones while you are in the

UK Their publ ic phones are s imi lar to ours but there are a few

differences There are written instructions next to the phone,

in English of course, but there are also drawings to show you

what to do.

To use a publ ic phone you need coins, or a phonecard. I

recommend you get a phonecard because these are much

more convenient to use. You can buy a phonecard from any

newsagent's, and I suggest you do that at the airport as soon

as you arrive. To make a phone call from a public phone box

do the following: First, pick up the receiver and listen for the

dia l tone l f there is no d ia l tone, that means the phone isn ' t

work ing and you should f ind another one When you hear the

dial tone, insert your phonecard There is a screen on the

phone that wil l tell you how much money you have left on

your card, and you can see i f your phonecard is running out

Then, just d ia l the number Remember that i f you are making

an international call from the UK, you have to dial 00 before

the number. You wil l also need to know the country code of

the number you want to call For us the code is 30. If you

have any problems making the call, you can get through to

the in ternat ional operator by d ia l ing 155
