Interesting places
HH Reading
A Brainstorm! Do you ever stay in hotels? W hat’ s fun about staying in a hotel? Make a class list.
1. Controversy Tram Hotel, The Netherlands It’s easy to see why this bed
and breakfast is on our list of unusual places to stay. Don’t worry - these old city
trams are not going to take you anywhere. The owners got old trams from
Germany and Holland and converted them into comfortable, cozy rooms with
American, Italian, French, and Mexican themes. The owners sleep in an old
double-decker bus from England and cook in a French van! It’s definitely a place
for people who like trains, planes, cars, and other transportation memorabilia.
2. EcoCamp, Chile It's not hard to fall asleep at this environmentally friendly hotel
in the heart of the Torres del Paine National Park. The scenery is amazing, as is
the peace and quiet. Guests stay in comfortable and inviting domes similar to
the homes of ancient native peoples. You should definitely take your hiking
boots. In the daytime, guests can trek through the mountains and see guanacos
(a type of llama) and other wildlife and then go back to the domes to relax and
enjoy a delicious dinner in the evening.
Giraffe Manor, Nairobi When we asked the owners of this African hotel,
I
“What should we pack?” they said, “ Don’t forget to bring a camera.” It’s good
to know. From the elegant rooms of this beautiful manor you have superb views
of the Ngong Hills. Not only that, but a herd of giraffes lives on the manor, and
you don’t have to try hard to get a great photo. The giraffes wander around and
poke their heads through the bedroom windows. They even turn up at the
breakfast table, too.
С Pair w ork Read the article again. Discuss the questions about each hotel.
1. What is unusual about each hotel? 3. What can you do during the day in each place?
2. How does the article describe the rooms? 4. Which hotel would you like to stay at? Why?

Home habits
a Reading
A Circle the words to make these statem ents true for you. Tell the class.
Well, my best friend has a very disorganized kitchen, but you should see mine. As
soon as I come back from grocery shopping, I organize everything. First, I arrange
the cans so the vegetables are in one section and the canned fruit is in another
section. Next, I sort them by size so the big ones are at the back and the small ones
are at the front. Then I make sure I can see all the labels.
We have a brand new expensive dishwasher, but I hate it. I d o n 't think it washes very well. M y friend says
hers is great, but mine always leaves the glasses dirty. So I always wash the dishes by hand before I load
them in the dishwasher. Then, after I take them out, I rinse them again to make sure they are clean! It
drives my husband crazy!
M y weird hom e habit? I iron everything, including my jeans, while I'm w atching TV. I even iron my
socks. My room m ate just stuffs hers in a drawer, b u t I like to fold everything, too. I even iron the curtains
in my b e d room every tw o weeks. I know it sounds crazy, b u t you iron yours, to o , right?
OK, I can't help it. I save every small plastic take-out container, pizza box, cups from the coffee shop, salad
cartons, etc. My friend just throws all his in the trash, but I think that's a waste. You can use them for a lot
o f different things. Like the big cardboard pizza boxes - we use ours during the summer for picnic trays.

l~l 15 Comments
It's clear t h a t te x tin g , w ith all its abbreviations and symbols, is now part of
our lives. According to research, about 75% o f Americans send te x t messages,
and almost one th ird prefer to te x t rather than ta lk on th e ir phone. It's j u s t OTOH - On the other hand
quicker to send a te x t than make a call. Typing SUP is faster than asking
"H ow are you?" and listening to the answer. It's also more discreet because IMO - In my opinion
no one can overhear your conversation - and that's FBM.
OTOH, te x tin g has its downsides, to o , and perhaps it's these problems t h a t create a ll th e interest.
Texters gripe t h a t th e y are g e ttin g more spam texts th a n ever before. Teachers com plain t h a t students'
te s t scores are g e ttin g worse because teens spend more tim e te x tin g th a n th e y should. Some also
say t h a t te x tin g encourages bad grammar and p u n c tu a tio n and IMO, th a t's true. Students d o n 't
realize th e y s h o u ld n 't w rite th e ir essays in " te x te s e ," and th e y get low grades as a result. Many
young people are sleeping less because th e y wake up in th e n ig h t every tim e a t e x t pops up on th e ir
phone. Others have in ju rie s to th e ir hands and thum bs from th e c o nstant te x tin g .
There are also more serious problems w ith texting, however, such as the accidents th a t happen when
people te x t and drive at the same time. Fortunately, many countries are passing laws th a t make i t illegal
to te x t when you're behind the wheel of a car. In addition, public service advertisements warn of the
dangers of texting while driving. Perhaps, then, there is good reason for all the interest in texting.

Sm artphones, tablets, and laptops are g e ttin g th in n e r and lig h te r than ever before. However,
1 in th e future, you m ig h t n o t need to carry any gadgets around w ith you. If designers have
th e ir way, you may ju s t need to w ear a pair o f " v ir t u a l goggles" instead. Scientists are testing
p ro to typ e s at th e m o m e n t, th o u g h it may be some tim e before they're actually on store shelves.
These goggles w ill act like a c o m p u te r screen and display in fo rm a tio n
and e n te r ta in m e n t fro m th e Internet.
So, w hen you are sightseeing, you'll be able to see in fo rm a tio n
a b o u t a fam ous b u ild in g in fr o n t o f you. Or you'll be able to ge t a
review o f th e restaurant m enu you're lo o kin g at. The goggles will
have GPS, so you'll be able to stream directions to a party or
locate a nearby coffee shop. They w ill also have a camera to take
photos, and you w o n 't need a cell p h o n e anym ore. The goggles w ill have th a t b u ilt in, too.
You can already buy m irrors w ith TVs in them , so you can w atch the m o rn in g news w h ile you
