Do you think you need to be talented to become famous?
What would you most like and dislike about being famous?
1)In my opinion there are a few differences. On the one hand, an actor or an actress needs to
be talented because bad actors are not famous but on the other hand a model has to be pretty,
beautiful or handsome. So I think it all depends on which job you have.
2)I start with my major dislikes about being famous because there are only a few things. One
thing I would hate are the paparazzi. They do not respect any privacy and so it is a
disadvantage. Another bad effect is that many people know your face and so you cant walk in
public without being recognised.
There are also some advantages: The first one is that you have a lot of money when you are
famous and so you can buy nearly everything. In addition you easily find a beautiful girlfriend
or wife and you can go on holiday whenever you want to.

p. 37/ over to you 2)

Do you think you need to be talented to become famous?
What would you most like and dislike about being famous?
1)First of all I want to say that your childhood is an important factor of your later life. Its
important that you have a strict parents you offer you a loving childhood, to learn that you can
reach every goal that you set with enough ambitious.
Some abilities are required like a good memory to learn new staff easily and fast. Another
important ability is to be very self-confident. You need this ability in some jobs, for example
when you want to sell a product. For that job you have to be an out going person who can
easily win other people`s confidence.
However, I want to say that you need talents for all jobs but I also think you can reach
everything you want with the right attitude, self confidence and enough ambitions.
2) I would particularly like the amount of money which I earn every year. In that case I could
buy everything I want. I would also enjoy the fame, for instance Id know all the famous filmstars, get invitations to the most famous parties in the world. As well the famous life is, as
many problems you get too. For example that you have to spend plenty of time become one
day that person that you want to be. You also dont have much privacy. The paparazzi do
everything to get a picture of you.

1) The office in picture number 1, I think would be more stressful than the office in
picture 2 because in picture 1 the employees dont have really an own place to work
and it seems to be that there is a chaos on everybodys desk.
In picture 2 everyone has his own place to work and the order on the desks is
important to work efficiently.
You cant concentrate when someone in front of you is telephoning or talking with his
neighbour. I think you can easily lose something or you hardly find anything important
when you have such a chaos like in number one.
In picture 2 the colours have a tranquillising an friendly effect on the people.
2) I prefer a shopping street because of the fresh air. Moreover, you can enjoy the
sunshine on sunny days. In a shopping mall there are always many people and its hard
to find a parking space. But an important point for the shopping mall is that all shops are
close to each other.
It is also comfortable with escalators especially for elderly people. Another advantage is
that you can also eat something in a restaurant. It doesnt matter which season it is, you
can always shop in a comfortable climate.

U5) Foreign Cultures

My country has been most influenced by transport, dress and food.
In their daily lives many people like eating fast food because its fast prepared and it tastes
good. The most popular fast food restaurants are Mc Donalds, Burgerking or the healthier
variant, the sushi restaurant. In contrast to junk food Sushi is from China and its much
healthier than the fast food from America.
The problem is that more and more children become obese from eating too much fast food.
On the other hand, it is positive that many people get a place to work.
I also want to talk about clothes, nearly every dress is imported from Turkey, China, America
and so on. Many popular fashion trends come from America for example nearly the whole
skatewear. Its too expensive to produce the wear in Germany or Austria so many firms let it
produce in China or Hungary or so on but the quality isnt very good.
I like travelling to other countries because I like sightseeing, taking photos of the hills and
seas, I enjoy it meeting new people and eating special dishes from different countries.
Travelling
Most of all I prefer travelling by car because you can take much luggage with you and can
make stops whenever you want to. Surely, a car is very expensive and often needs servicing
but you dont have so much stress you can travel whenever you want and take as much
luggage as you want to.
But the car is no good choice for our environment. The car is loud and its exhausts damage
the environment. The train is much better. You can travel easily from one station to another it
is cheap and fast and it doesnt harm the enviroment.
But a disadvantage is that you have no privacy and cant take so much luggage with you as by
car.

When you dont have so much money to buy a car the best solution is to travel by train or bus.
For people who like travelling luxuriously, the plane is the right thing.
Its expenisve, needs time to check in but it is the most comfortable way of travelling. You
have flight attendants who serve the meals and make the flight as comfortable as possible.
But the risk is that the plane is a popular target for terrorists. You can travel long distances by
plane in a short time.
My perfect flatmate
My perfect flatmate should be a very outgoing and self confident person who can talk about
problems. My flatmate should like to go to parties. He or she should also be a person who
likes doing sport in their freetime. My perfect flatmate should also be an honest person
because I hate people who lie and talk behind your back.

U7) freetime activities

About Sports!
My first sport in a club was soccer. I played soccer four times a week when I was eight years
old. After 4 years I stopped playing soccer and began practising karate.
I joined a karate club and trained twice a week. After 3 years I took part in tournaments and
sometimes I won e medal. My best result was the second place in fighting for Austria.
I gave it up because of school. My favourite sports are freeclimbing, wakeboarding, tennis,
baskettball, cycling and last but not least skateboarding.
I spend much freetime to do all these sports. I like doing sports because when you sit in
school the whole day, you are getting lazy. If I cant study anymore, so I do sports because
after doing sports I feel fresh.
I enjoy watching tennis, football and hockey on TV because these sports are the most exciting
sports for me.

U8) Home Smart Home, You have got a mail

Disadvantage of the internet!
The internet is one of the most helpful and greatest inventions of the world. You can do a lot
of things with the internet, for example writing e-mails, buying things on the internet or
watching the latest news.
You can also download movies, music and so on. But a big problem is that you can easily
download a virus that can destroy important files or the whole system. So you need programs
that protect you from a virus. When you are not familiar with such programs you have the
problem that you dont know which one to buy.
Its not easy to be up to date in this brounch because there are new programs nearly every
month. When you have a firm you need protection from hackers who maybe steal files from
your computer. Many people are addicted to the internet they must surf the internet for their
well being. The result is that more and more teenagers spend more time in surfing in the
internet than learning for school or going out with friends.

Home Smart Home!

In a few years when I have enough money to build my own house, I want a house which
performs basic automation functions like adjusting the lights and heating for maximum
efficiency. Each member of the family has a code number to open the electronic front door
lock.
When my family and I go on holiday it switches on lights stereo and television in different
time intervals. The windows sensors send a message to the police if a burglar try to brake a
window. If a fire break out in the house the fire sensors send a message to the nearest fire
department. The TV and the stereo are muted as the telephon rings. The bedroom video screen
displays a floor plan of the house showing wich windows and doors are open.
