Notting

(1999) is a
romantic
comedy
,
that stars
English
actor Hugh
Grant and
American
actress
Julia
Roberts.
Il' s directed by Roger Michell and it was a huge box
office success. In the film, bookstore owner William
Thacker (played by H ugh Grant) falls in love with
glamorous supersta r Anna Scot! Oulia Roberts) and
starts a relationship with her. But the big question is,
can it last? With an excellent soundtrack and a wellwritten script, the film has some great moments. It's
shot on location in Notting Hill (London). and I'd
definitely recommended it.

or years, experts have been predicting
that people wilt watch less and less TV.
However, recent research shows that it's
F
actually more popular than it was ten years
ago. But why?
Some of the facts are truly surprising. They
show that American teenagers actually watch
5% more TV now than they did five years ago.
Also su rprising is the fact that US adults
watch far more online video than their teenage
children. Teenagers spend about three hours
a month watching online 1V compared to the
five and a half hours spent by young adults (18
to 24-year-olds).
Interestingly, Americans are using their
televisions to watch live TV rather than DVDs
or ontine programming. In fact, 92% of
American TV viewing is for live programmes
(particularly news shows). While 32% of US
homes own a DVD recorder, only about half of
them use it to record programmes.
There were some interesting results on
advertising, too. They found that teenagers
are 31% less likely to remember an ad than
an adult. However, teenagers appear to like
advertising more. In fact. once an ad has
caught their attention, they' re 44% more likely
to remember it than an older person.
So, how much television are they watching?
American teenagers sit in front of the TV
for about three hours and 20 mi nutes a

equivalents in Italy, Poland, lebanon , Ireland.
Indonesia and Venezuela ... and considerably
less than the world's leading teen couch
potatoes: the South Africans, who spend over
five hours a day in front of the bm:!
And what are people wa tching on TV?
Research suggests that teenagers and adults
like a lot of the same shows, which include
dramas such as House, and talent contest
shows such as American Idol. However,
teenagers d on't watch as much sport o r
current affairs programmes (such as the
news) as their parents.
Over in the UK, the most popular shows
include Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor.
In fact, the final of The X Factor attracted the
most viewers for a si ngle show in 2010, with
over 17 million people watching it. Reality
shows such as I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out
of Hue are often in the top 10, as are d ra mas
such as the long-running soa p operas
EastEnders and Coronation Street. Finally,
sport pulls in a big crowd . Apparently, 17
million people watched England get beaten
by Germany in the 2010 World Cup. More
than those who watched the final!
So, it looks as if the future of television is
safe. However, although there are more
channels than ever, the question remains:

The Present Simple
We often use contractlons with the Present Simple:
don't = do not; doesn't = does not.
We can use the Present Simple to describe regular facts,
habits and regular actions. We often use adverbs of
frequency (always. sometimes, never, ete.) to describe how
often we do these things. For example, "She often goes to
the gym on Fridays."
Typical time expressions with the Present Simple include:
every Friday. on Mondays, once a week, twice a month, in
the morning. at the weekend. For example: "He goes to
the cinema about once a month."
We can use question words (what, when, where, why,
etc.) with the Present Simple. For example. "What do you
usually do at the weekends?"

she's =< she is; it's = it is; we're =< we are; they're = they are.
The negative forms are: isn't = is not; aren't =- are not.
We can use the Present Continuous to talk about
activities in progress. We often use time expressions
such as right now, at the moment and now. For eKample,
"She's talking to him right now. n
We can also use the Present Continuous la refer
to temporary situations or changes that are taking
place over a period of time. For example, uThe rate of
unemployment is coming down. n
We can use the Present Continuous for future plans,
often at a fixed time and with a specific person. For
example, "I'm playing tennis with her on Friday at 7pm."

the If:Ja llt's the best one here.
Remember, we use the / bi :/ before words with a vowel sound:
the orlly Orle, the %rm, the egg...
The schwa sound can also be found in some words with more than
one syllable. For example, you can hear the schwa sound at the
end ofthese words:

The schwa sound also appears in many comparative forms. Notice
the schwa sound I a I at the end of these words:

12 WAYS TO TRAVEL I
ROUND THE WORLD.
W
hat's the best way 10 travel around
the world? Of course, that depends.
If you want to do it quickly, then
you'll need to go by aeroplane. But if you want
to make it fun, you should do what Charlie
Boorman did.
n Reading I
Read the article once and
answer this question. What
is unusual about charlie
Boorman's trip in the television
series By Any Means?
n Reading 11
Read the article again and
answer the following questions.
What form of transport did
If you like motorbikes, you may have heard
of Char lie Boorman, who is an actor, traveller
and world famous motorbike enthusiast. He's
been all over the world on a bike. In 2004, he
and his best friend, film star Ewan McGregor,
rode from London to New York via Europe
and Asia - The Long Way Round, as their hit
TV series was called. In 2007, he and Ewan set
off again , this time riding The Long Way Down.
from Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa.
However, Charlie doesn't only love motorbikes
- he's a fan of lots of different types of
transport. In fact, ifit moves, Charlie will
try to ride il, sail it, fly it o r drive it. Th is was
demonstrated in 2008 when Charlie travelled
from Wicklow in Ireland to Sydney, Australia,
by any means of Iran sport except a plane.

6. .. .in Nepal?
7. .. .in China?
8. .. .from Malaysia to
Singapore?
9. .. .in Delhi?
The series, called By Any Means , was a big hit
on British TV. One of the aims of the trip was
for Charlie to travel by as many different forms
of transport as possible... and he was very
successful. He managed to use 112 different
types of transport, and he only had to catch a
plane once (after a natural disaster in Burma
made other ways of travelling impossible) .
Can yo u th ink of 11 2 different forms of
trans port? If you can, you' re a genius. In fact ,
Charlie used lots of different types of cars,
boats, and bikes and each one counted as
part of the 112. For example, Charlie took a
fishing boat from Ireland 10 Liverpool, a small
sailing boat from Dover to Calais, a catamaran
from Venice to Croatia, a cargo ship from
Dubai to Mumbai, India. a rowing boat along
the Ganges, and a yacht from Indonesia to
Darwin, Australia. And these are only some
of the examples of the ways he travelled on
water.
Of course, Charlie Boorman also got to ride
lots of different motorbikes. In fad , the journey
began with a bike ride from Wicklow to the
Irish Sea. He also rode motorcycles in India,
Cambodia and Australia, where the journey
ended with CharHe riding into Sydney with a big
gang of Australian bikers.
There were also lots of more unusual forms
of transport on the journey. Charlie rode an
elephant in Nepal and horses in Australia. He
flew by balloon in China and helicopter in the
Himalayas. He rode a snow mobile and a ski
tube in the Snowy Mounta ins of Australia and
he was also Ihe first man to wakeboard from
Malaysia to Singapore. One of his favourite
vehicles was a tuk·tuk - a three·wheeled
motorised rickshaw that he rode in Delhi. In
total, the trip took 102 days and Charlie and
his crew travelled through 24 countries. The
journey was such a success that in 2009,
Charlie set off again, th is time to travel from
Sydney to Tokyo "by any means". The TV series
and the book should be out soon! 0

Shelly: Hey, Brandon, what do you think of the
new hign·speed train link between weysh
and Benton. I'm all for it!
o>
Adverbs
We form many adverbs by adding the end ing -Iy to an
adjective: slow- slowly; polite-politely; careful-carefully.
Brandon : If they go ahead with this, it'll put the
country in even more in debt. If we upgrade the
existing road to accommoda te a high.speed bus
lane, we'll savl:j huge amount of money. Buses
aren't so bad.
Adverbs of manner show us how somebody does
something. We generally place the adverb after the verb.
For example, "They were walking slowly."
There are several irregular adverbs: good- wel1;fastJast;
hard·hard
Shelly: People will be able to travel much more
comfortably and quickly between the two places.
They're reliable, modern and reall efficient. The
construction work will helft create jo s in the road·
bUilding industry and it' I increase trade between
the two cities enormously. The new line will be able
to take freight from the coast in Weyshore directly
to Bento n, and if they extend the high·speed lines
to othe, c;t;es ;n the count')', then they'll be ~a
to take goods anywhere really qUickly and qui e
cheaply. Think what that will do for trade!

Brandon: If we invest this money in other pW!ects,
it'll have a bigger impact on employment. e've
got hospitals, roads and schools in urgent need
of renovation. Also, the train line will go Ihrou~h
the national park, which will be a disaster for t e
wildlife there. 0
Shelly: Just think - you could be on the beach
in 2 hours. If they Duild the line, it'll cut travel
time between the two cities by u~ to th O

Take the case ofGordon
Brown . Remember him?
He was the prime minist er
of the UK until the 2010
elections. He made a
famous gaffe. Towards the
end of the campaign, he
found himself talking to
potential voter Mrs Gillian
Duffy. After a few seconds
of friend ly cha t, Brown said,
"Very nice to meet you,"
and hopped into a waiting
car. And that was the end
of the in terview... or so it
seemed.

talking to an aide, with

me with Ihol woman fMrs
Duffy] . Whose idea was
that? It's just ridiculous ... "
And when asked by the
aide what Mrs Duffy had

reply, "She's just a sort of
bigoted woman." Whoopsl
Not the most intelligent
thing in the world to say...
especially as reporters were
still recording what Brown
was saying. Of course,
Brown later cla imed that he
was " morti fied ~. He even
paid Mrs Duffy (65) a visit
to her house in Rochdale
to apologise, and sent an
e·mail to labour activists
to say he "profoundly"
regretted his comments.

But th is isn't the fi rst time
that Brown has put his foot
in it. In another incident,
Brown confused American

with fellow actress Reese

was a guest in parliament
as part of her work as a
global ambassador for
cos metics firm Avon and
their campaign against
domestic violence. During
the visit, Brown told baffled
M Ps that he was very
grateful that "Renee" Isicl
Witherspoon was leading
the campaign. He also
said he recalled fondly how
Miss "Witherspoon" (sic]
had spoken at a memorial
service for film director
Anthony Minghella, at
which Brown had been a
