He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed. On the second morning Tony, wearing an apron, brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human. One day, Claire mentioned that she didn39。t run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don39。d like to suggest that the seats at the back be placed higher than those at the front so that everyone can see the screen easily. Perhaps there could be a space at the end of each row for people in wheelchairs to sit next to their friends. 4 Toilets. For disabled customers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from where the film is showing. And if the doors could be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy. 5 Car parking. Of course, there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers. If they are close to the cinema entrance and/or exit, it is easier for disabled people to get to film in fort. Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will meet with your approval. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as ablebodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with am sure many people will praise your cinema if you design it with good access for disabled people. It will also make the cinema owners happy if more people go as they will make higher profits!

It was going to be tested out by Larry39。s name was Larry, not Tony. When Claire got home, she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be. You can be like her, Tony told her and suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected the house to be pletely transformed. Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help once but was too fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day. The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, bending his face close to hers. She cried out Tony and then heard him declare that he didn39。s Old Tom, the killer, one of the whalers, George, called out to me. He39。s happened? I asked. Have we lost the whale? Oh no, Jack replied. We39。Thank God as we pulled James back into the boat. And then Old Tom was off and back to the hunt where the other killers were still attacking the whale.A NEW DIMENSION OF LIFE 19th January I39。t stop me from feeling scared to death for a moment! The water was quite shallow but where the reef ended, there was a steep drop to the sandy ocean floor. It marked a boundary and I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking down into the depths of the ocean. My heart was beating wildly I felt very exposed in such deep clear water. What a wonderful, limitless world it was down there! And what a tiny spot I was in this enormous world!Unit 4 Sharing Reading A LETTER HOME Dear Rosemary, Thanks for your letter, which took a fortnight to arrive. It was wonderful to hear from you. I know you39。 lives at all. You asked whether I39。 it smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family softly talking to each other in their language, even though I could not participate the conversation. Luckily, Tombe could be our interpreter. Later, I noticed a tin can standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a short time Tombe threw it out of the was puzzled. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. They believe that any leftovers attract evil spirits in the night, so the food is dried up in the can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.

My tutor explained that I should read lots of different texts that contain different opinions and analyse what I read. Then, in my essay, I should give my own opinion and explain it by referring to other authors. Finally he even encouraged me to contradict the authors I39。s progress in later editions of this
