2 One of my friends has just returned from a holiday in the USA. He now considers himself an expert on the States. It makes me laugh, but it's not the first time I've seen it. People go to America with a firm idea of what they're going to find there and then they find it. They don't meet many Americans because they never leave their own little group. They go to the tourist traps - Disneyland and Miami Beach, for example - and follow their tour guides around like sheep. They are shown exactly what they want to see, and so they think that America really is exactly like its cinema image. I think the only way to get to know a country is to go there alone or in a very small group, and stay in a place where there are not very many tourists; then you have a chance of meeting people and finding out what their life is really like. Of course, it is important to try and learn at least a little bit of the language before you go. You won't come back an expert, but you will know more than my friend knows about America.

5 Yesterday the doorbell rang while I was having breakfast. As I was going to answer it, I fell over a pile of books in the hall. By the time I got to the door, there was no one there - but the postman was getting back into his van a few houses away. I ran after him, but he didn't hear me and drove off. So I went back home. When I got there, the door was shut, and I realised that I didn't have my key. My son was in the house, and so I rang the bell, but he didn't answer: he was listening to music and didn't hear the bell. I remembered that the kitchen window was open, so I went round to the back to try and get in that way. While I was climbing in the window, the electricity man arrived to read the meter, and I had to explain the situation to him. I still don't know if he believed me. Anyway, I got in, only to find that the cats were eating my breakfast. Then the doorbell rang. 6 Ruth is a short black woman in her early twenties.

4 (Possible answer) 14 September 1990 Dear Kevin,
I'm writing to ask you for some advice. Barbara and I are getting very worried about Richard. He has been staying out very late at night and is always too tired to do well in school. Last week he was out till one in the morning on Tuesday and Wednesday. He won't listen to anything we say. We have tried not giving him pocket money but it doesn't do any good. I am afraid that now he is sure that we are just trying to make him do what we want to show him who's boss, but the truth is, we are worried about his future.
128 j T I know you and Simon had a rough patch when he was sixteen or so. What did you do about it? How did you handle it? Any advice you could give us would be very welcome; we have run out of ideas ourselves.
Sorry to write such a short letter but I want to get this in the post today. Give my love to Angela and the kids. Yours, Tony

4 I was walking down the street one day Looking at the shops When someone asked me if I knew the way. I gave the girl directions And then saw who it was. I couldn't think of anything to say. I hadn't seen her for a very long time Since the day we said goodbye. She hadn't changed, She still looked young and shy. I thought perhaps I'd changed so much She didn't realise it was me, Then I saw the recognition in her eye. We stood in silence for a while, Then I led her to a bar. I felt as if I was walking with a ghost. We drank and began to talk And then her eyes met mine. Her eyes had always shown her feelings most.
We talked about the good old days About family and friends About the hopes we'd shared before it all went wrong. She seemed quite pleased to see me So I ordered two more drinks But when I got back to the table she had gone. I hadn't seen her for a very long time etc.
