Kardiani. The house is about 100 years old. My family is big — six brothers and
sisters and my mother (my father died when I was 12). It was a small house for
seven people. It's got a big living room and two bedrooms. We slept in the
bedrooms and the living room. The bathroom was, and still is, outside. It was
so cold in winter! Now, I live in my husband's village. I'm near my mother, but
not too near! It's a new house, and it's got lots of space, a beautiful
kitchen, and a large balcony. We've got heating (which my mother's house
hasn't) and a large, comfortable bathroom inside! Unfortunately, we haven't got
a very good view. There's another house opposite us, so we can't see the

A day in the job of
Graham Rowe, biologist, Exeter University

My working day doesn't usually start very early, maybe around 10.00. My
  job involves some teaching, but it's mainly research. If I'm teaching, I
  often give a couple of lectures in the morning, and then I sometimes have
  students' work to look at jn the afternoon, or exams to correct, which can be
  very time-consuming. Lunch is a sandwich, and I drink constant cups of coffee
  through the day.
The research is what I really enjoy, and I often stay in the laboratory
  till 9.00 or 10.00, even overnight once in a while. I've got two
  post-graduate assistants, and we all work fairly long hours, including
  weekends. Anyone who thinks that academics have an easy life should come and
  work with me! The good side of it is that I get to travel for a month in the
  summer, usually to Kenya or Tanzania.
There isn't much that I don't like about the job — there's sometimes
  quite a lot of university paperwork, which can be annoying when I want to be
  in the lab .

Reading
Read this description
of Scottish traditional dress and label the photograph.
1 he tartan kilt has long been the traditional dress in 1 Scotland.
Different tartans belong to different clans or families. The first time that
everyone in a clan started to wear the same tartan was in 1 61 8. One of 3 the
most famous tartans is the Black Watch Tartan, which was designed in 1 740
especially for the Black Watch regiment. The modern kilt that we can see today
was made in the 1 800s. It is not as big and heavy as the original kilt or
'philabeg', as it was
4
called.
Nowadays, all Scots can find the tartan for 5 their own clan or family.
Scotsmen traditionally wear the kilt with a jacket, a white shirt, thick
socks and black leather shoes. Round their waists they wear a sporran (a kind
of purse) and in one sock they wear a traditional dirk (a small knife). On
their heads they sometimes wear a beret. Women wear tartan too, but not with a
sporran or a dirk. Many wear a simple white dress with a tartan plaid.
Nowadays, you don't see kilts every day, but men still 6 7 wear them for
weddings, dances, and rugby matches.

FRIENDS & RELATIONS
Diana
I live in a house in a
village near Oxford. It's about 80 years old and made of stone. We've got a
living room, study. dining room, and kitchen downstairs. Upstairs
there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms - one of them is en suite. t
think my favourite room has to be our bedroom - it has a view of the garden and
the hills beyond. My husband and I love gardening. so we spend a lot of time
outside in the summer.
Shawn
My apartment is on the
third floor of an old wooden house. It's pretty big for one person, but that's
good. It's got two bedrooms and a very large living room, which is great for me
because I travel a lot and bring lots of things home with me. There's a small
kitchen
with a balcony leading off
of it, and a decent bathroom. My favorite room's the living room. That's
where I watch IV and
listen to music. It's also where the air-conditioning is - it gets hot in
Boston in the summer.
04 LIFE
& ROUTINE
 I usually get up at about 6.30. I
just have coffee for breakfast. I get the bus to work. If I'm late I take a
taxi, which is a bit expensive. My wife goes by bike, she likes to keep fit.
2     I always go to the gym at lunchtimes,
about
12.30 or 12.45. I have a
shower there too, and I often go to the café for lunch.
3     I leave the office at around 6.00 and
maybe meet some friends for a drink. don't watch much telly, too much to do,
and I never go to bed before
1      I love eating out at the weekend.

dark.
6      I quite like watching football on the
box, but I prefer being there.

back.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY

Bruce

Hi, Vic. How was your weekend?

Vic

Welt, I came to the office on
  Saturday morning, but I had a great time after that.

Bruce

What did you do?

Vic

It was non-stop - tennis, pub,
  cinema .

Bruce

What film did you see?

Vic

Go. It was
  brilliant. Sarah didn't think so she thought it was awful. Anyway We
  went to the pub afterwards and met Alison. And she gave me a birthday present
  for the first time! Why didn't you come with us? I told you about it.

Bruce

I tried to phone you, but you weren't in.
Karen came round for dinner.

Vic

How did it go?

Bruce

A
  disaster. I made fish pie but I left it in the oven too long. It didn't come
  out very well .

Vic

Oh.

Bruce

Then we had a row and Karen left early. Not a very good
  evening

Karen

Hi there, Sarah.

Sarah

Oh, hi. How was your weekend? How
  was the romantic dinner with Bruce?

Karen

It wasn't a
  great success. I went round to his place, and he made dinner for me, but it
  was horrible. And then we had a row. In the end I left at about 9.30.

Sarah

Oh dear,

Karen

Yeah, well. What about you? What did
  you

Sarah

I went to the pictures with Vic. We
  saw a film called Go. I don't recommend it! Vic really liked it, but I
