Ecuador ViLcabamba, a small village in the Andes, is often called 'the VaLLey of

Long life'. What's its secret? Firstly, Vilcabamba is not very hot or very coLd - the temperature is usually between 18 and 27 degrees, and the air is very clean. SecondLy, peopLe work hard in the fieLds, and dcra lot of exercise. Thirdly, their diet is very healthy - they eat a Lot of fruit and vegetables, and they hardLy ever eat meat or fish. The water they drink, from the river in Vilcabamba , is very rich in minerals. They also have a good sociaL life. In Vilcabamba peopLe say, 'The Left leg and the right Leg help you to be heaLthy, because they take you to your friends' homes.'

Italy I n Ogliastra, a mountain region of Sardinia,

one out of every 200 people lives to be 100,

and they are normally very heaLthy, too. Most of the peopLe in the villages work outside in their fields and with their animals. They have a heaLthy diet, with a lot of vegetables and not much meat or fish. They hardly ever take any medicine, but they usuaUy drink a little grappo before they go to bed . 'life is hard: says Fortunato, who is a shepherd, 'but I am never stressed. I never read the newspaper- because I can't read very welt.'

Japan People in Okinawa in Japan do not have big meats. They usually just

have vegetabLes and fish, and often eat soya. Okinawans are very active, and they often work until they are 80 or more. But they aLso relax every day - they see friends and they meditate. Ushi, from Okinawa, is 107. In the evening she often dances with her daughter and has a gLass of soke. 'I want to have a boyfriend,' she says. When journalists ask people from Okinawa 'What is your secret?' they answer, 'We are happy,

we are always positive, and we are never in a hurry.'

WHAT TO DOIN

LONDON •• •

WHEN IT'S VERY COLD Go ice skating at Somerset House . Somerset House is a beautiful t 8th century building on the river Thames. In the winter, the area in front of the house is made into an ice-skating rink. There is a skating school, where you can have lessons, and there are also late-night sessions and DJ nights. In November and December there is an enormous Christmas tree, and the cafe serves special Christmas food

2 WHEN IT'S RAINING Go to South Kensington, and visit three wonderful museums. You can walk from one to the other because they are all very near. The Science Museum is very popular with adults and children. and also the Natural History Museum, which has Ufe-size rOQotic dinosaurs and other fascinating exhibits. The third museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, is full of art and design from at! over the world . It has an amazing collection of fashion from the 17th century to the present day. And if the sun comes out, cross the road into KenSington Gardens, one of London's many parks, and visit the famous statue of Peter Pan .

3 WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING Go to Hampstead Heath, London's biggest park . From the top of Parliament Hill, in the south part of the Heath, you can see many of London's famous monuments, including 5t Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye. Have a picnic, and then, if it's hot, walk to the open-air swimming pool, where you can swim with plants and trees all round you. It is a magical place, and you can't believe that you are in the middle of a capitaL city.

Dublin - thefriendly city People don't usually think of capital cities as friendly. but

people told me that Dublin is the exception, so [went [~ere to see if it was true - and it was! local people greet you like an old friend, they want to know everything about you, and about your day. The tourist guides are really friendly: for example. at the Guinness factory (somewhere you must go) they offer you a free glass of Guinness. The bus drivers on the tour buses (an excellent way to get around Dublin) tell very interesting and amusing stories about all the buildings and monuments they go past. They stop at all the main tourist attractions, for example Phoenix Park, the home to Dublin's zoo, St Patrick's Cathedral. and the main shopping areas (Grafton Street and O'Connell Street). When you want something to eat, the Temple Bar area is the place to go. Even in the restaurants Irish people want you to be happy. They often sit you at tables with other people, and the waiters tell jokes when they serve the food to make you laugh. In general, the food is great and very good value for money. there are lots of things to see, and hotels are cheap - how can you not be happy and friendly with all that?

Maria Julia from Argentina

1 It was in August twO years ago when I was on holiday in Athens.

~ I wanted to see a man that I knew a little when I was at university. He was Greek and he lived in Athens. I called him many times, but he didn't answer. Suddenly, on my last night. he came to my hotel.

[IJ I felt embarrassed, because my clothes weren't very special - a green skirt and a white T-shirt and Greek sandals - and my hair was a mess.

!3J We went out and walked around the centre of Athens, We spoke English, but he taught me some Greek words and I taught him some Spanish.

[1J It was a warm night With a beautiful full moon.

iJ I got back to the hotel at 3 a.m.

[Z] It was a magical.evening - an Argentinian woman With a Greek man on the other side of the world in those dark streets, with the lights from the Parthenon up on the hill!

Mehmet from Turkey

1 It was last year. I was in Istanbul. where I live.

2 I was with my friends. It was my best friend's birthday.

3 I wore a black T-shirt and blue jeans.

4 We went to a great place called Cezayir, 1(5 an old building with a great restaurant. We had dinner, and after dinner we had a coffee in the bar. Then we went to the beach at Florya and we had a swim. It was fantastic. The water wasn't very clean, but we didn't mind!

~ It was a hot night and the sea was really warm,

6 After our swim, we were tired and decided to go back, but I couldn't find my car keys! We went back to the beach and we looked everywhere, but it was toO dark, In the end I left the car at the beach and I went home in my friend's car! I got home really late, at 5.00 In the morning.

7 It was a memorable night because we had a fantast ic dinner and swim, but also because I lost the car keys - it was my father's car and he was really angry!

The owner of the hotel, Rod Davies, says: ' I didn't believe in ghosts before I came here, but strange things happen in t he hotel. One gues t woke up in t he middle of the night and saw a tall man standing next to his bed. He checked out the next morning.' Rod's wi fe says: 'One night a lot of books fell off a she lf in the lounge. And sometimes when I am working I feel that someone is wa tching me, but when I tu rn round nobody is t here.'

SCOTLAND CO MLONGON CASTLE

C omlongoo is a 15th-century cast le in a small village near Dumfries in south -west Scotland. The cast le is haun ted by the Green Lady, the ghost of Lady Mariao Carruthers . Lady Marion was unhappy because

she was married to a man she did not love, and in 1570 she jumped from the castle walls and killed herself. Many st ran ge t hings happen in the hotel - doors open and close, and lights go on and off in empty rooms. An American couple once opened the door of their room and saw a young woman sitting on the bed. They left because they th ought they were in the wrong room. In fact it was their room, but when they came back the room was empt y.

The man who wrote

SHERLOCK HOLMES

A(thur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on 22nd May 1859. He studied medicine at Edinburgh University and as a student he began writing short

stories. He became a doctor in the south of EngLand. but at first he didn't have many patients. So in his free time he began writing stories about a brilliant detective, SherLock HoLmes. Conan DoyLe based HoLmes' personality on his professor at university. HoLmes, who lives at 221 b Baker Street in London, is famous for solving difficuLt crimes and mysteries using his great intelligence. The Sherlod: HoLmes stories soon became very popuLar, but in 1893 Conan Doyle became tired of his detective, and decided to 'kilt ' him, In The Final Problem SherLock HoLmes and his enemy, Professor Moriarty, die when they fall off the Reichenbach Falls in SwitzerLand. But peopLe were very unhappy to Lose SherLod: HoLmes, and there were Letters in many newspapers asking for him to come back.

Finally, in 190 I Conan DoyLe brought him back in a new story, The Hound of the BaskerviUes. He expLained that HoLmes did not die in the Reichenbach Falls, but miracuLousLy survived.

Conan DoyLe died on 7th JuLy 1930, but ' Sherlock Holmes continu es to live

both in the stories and in many fiLm versions. RecentLy he was the

inspiration for the character

Maira in The driving

They dress very fashionably,

but casuatly.

I think people drive Quite dangerously, which surprised me because I thought they were careful drivers here. They don't drive fast, but people are always on the phone in the car, which you don't often see in the UK nowadays.

The food The food can be delicious, but I think people eat very unhealthily. In restaurants they often add salt to their food. And they drink litres of Coke! The headQuarl!!rs of the Coca-Cola company is based here, and they even have a Coca-Cola museum. Once I went to a coffee shop and asked for a double espresso, no milk no sugar. I had to repeat my order three times, because the waitress couldn' t understand me. She said people here only ask for lattes and cappuccinos with lots of sugar!

The people In general, people are very friendly. The people l"m staying with , who live just outside the City, know all their neighbours really well. They often don't lock their doors, which surprised me because people say it 's a dangerous city. They speak incredibly slowly, with a strong accent and sometimes I have a problem understanding them.

Mark in The weather

It's December - and it gets dark at about 3 p.m., which is depressing! There's a lot of snow at the moment, but all the buses and trains are running perfectly. not like in Britain where everything stops when it snows!

The houses All the houses are painted in pretty colours, like red, green and blue, and many houses have a yellow and blue flag. Inside the houses are decorated beautifully with lots of flowers and modern wooden furniture.

The people People are friendly and polite, but Quite formal. They dress fashionably but casually, and of course you see a lot of very blonde women here. You also see a lot of men who are looking after very young babies. Everybody speaks English really well. maybe because a lot of the TV is in English with subtitles.

b Look at the high lighted words or phrases in rhe text and guess their meani ng.

Amy Johnson is an American who lives and works in England. We asked her to tell us about her first Impressions of the UK.

One of my first impressions was that the UK is more expensive than the US. I live in Oxford and the cost of living, (rent. bilJs, food, etc.) is higher

than in Ohio, where I'm from in the US. The only thing that is a lot cheaper here is healthcare - it's free to go to the doctor's or to hospital, whereas in the US it isn't, so you need to have health insurance, which can be very expensive,

I think you can eat very well in England - there's a wide variety of food from all around the world - Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Turkish, ete. - bu t eating out is more expensive than in the US, and the service is worse, Generally, I'd say British food is healthier than American food, and the portions are a lot smaller, too,

As for the people, I find British people quite pessimistic compared to Americans who are usually very positive and optimistic about the future, Also, when I'm in Ohio

talk to everybody: shop assistants, the person behind me in the supermarket queue, the person sitting next to me in the restaurant, but I can't do that in the UKpeople are much more reserved . But, on the other hand,

think it is easier to make real friends here than in the US, I also find British ;:leap le are not ve ry good at telling you what they really think or (in a work s..tuation) saying something se. negative about ytlu, Americans rust say things jS they are!
