1. Nowadays it has become very easy to access music via CDs, the radio or by downloading your favourite tracks from the Internet. In fact it is quite easy to forget how music is made and people these days seldom go to hear music being performed. In my opinion, we should make an effort to go to concerts and support musicians. We should recognize and enjoy their talent.

Far from predictable, this book will thrill any reader from the age of ten.

3. You may wonder why so many people all over the world watch daily soap operas. Got nothing better to do with their time? Well, watching soaps is better for you than you might imagine.

Such programmes are surprisingly educative and they approach topics in a light- hearted way. This may be why they are so popular.
