Nothing does - except wrinkles. With a partner, write them in the column where you think they belong. Are the majority of the adjectives positive or negative? Old and elderly mean the same thing, but elderly is only used for people and is more polite. W hat do you think has been done to them and why?

Look at the highlighted phrases related to the body. With a partner, say what you think they mean. It took five hours every morning to make Karoline and Nick look like elderly people in their seventies. They were given synthetic wrinkled skin, false teeth, and gray wigs. They also wore body suits to make them look fatter and contact lenses to make their eyes look older.

The discomfort of the makeup, the heavy suits, and the contact lenses which made their eyesight worse gave them a small taste of the physical problems of old age. They were also coached to walk and speak like people in their seventies. Then they had to live each day, for a month, as an old person, with a video diary to record their experiences and hidden cameras to record how other people reacted to them.

Before you read talk to a partner. Karoline was Iastonished to be ignored by some workmen, who only hours before had been whistling at her when she had been an attractive young woman. He wouldn't have talked like that to my young self. T here is a point in the documentary when Karoline 2breaks down and cries. It comes at the end of a day out with her two new senior citizen friends, Betty and Sylvia, who she met at a community center. I didn't have that life experience.

They had 3been through so much. It made me realize how ignorant I was. It was as if I was seeing the young people inside them. Before I would have just seen the wrinkles. B oth she and Nickfound makingthe program life- changing. One ofthe things that surprised me most was how important relationships still were to elderly people.

I was shocked by the fact that older people could still have their hearts broken. After a while I felt like one of them. I felt in a way that they were just young people in an old body trying to 4deal with the problems of old age. Do you think that they are treated well in your country?

Women, but not men, are always expected to dress attractively for work or on TV. Fur coats should be banned. Only sheep follow fashion. Good dressers have their own style.

People who follow fashion are usually vain and selfish. It's risky to buy clothes online. I'd love to go. When things go wrong he starts shouting at everyone. Nothing really bothers me.

What do sham ans do? The rise of the shamans b Read the article again and choose a, b, or c. Check their meaning and pronunciation and try to learn them. Thomas's hospital had a very early operating theater. Thomas's were done on rich people. The sound of drumbeats reverberates in the small conference room as the shaman goes into a trance.

The others present, their eyes closed, focus on the rhythmic sounds of the drums. The shaman, in his trance, makes the journey to a parallel reality in search of solutions to the various problems the group has brought with it. For most people this may seem weird, but it is becoming a fairly common experience for others. People from many different professions - students, businessmen, housewives, even former soldiers - are turning to shamanism, an ancient spiritual practice where the practitioner communes with "spirit guides" to gain access to information and healing.

Cosima Klinger-Paul, an Austrian who moved to India in and has started a school of shamanism, says that the interest in the practice is not surprising. It is the oldest healing method of mankind. Shamans believe that all illnesses have a spiritual cause, which is reflected in the physical body.

Healing the spiritual cause heals the physical body. An important shamanic belief is the concept of "soul loss. Once the person gets the missing part of his soul back, shamans believe that the lost vitality and health also comes back. But is it really as simplistic as this? Those who have undergone shamanic healing sessions seem to think so. Harnam Sidhu, a year-old marketing executive, swears by the practice.

Sidhu was suffering from glaucoma - a degenerative condition that causes the loss of optic nerves leading to blindness. Doctors had told him it was a matter of months before he went completely blind in the bad eye. As a last resort, he tried shamanism. After a few sessions, when he went for a checkup, his doctor told him that a miracle had happened - his condition was starting to reverse.

Believers stress that shamanic healing isan established tradition that has been tested time and again over centuries. I tend to say no to requests for quick healing. This is not a spiritual aspirin that you can take and be healed. What information or instructions are the passengers being given? What word or phrase do the flight attendants use to m ean?

Is it really worth listening to the safety dem onstration telling you how to put your life jacket on? Why is there usually a big m irror when you are going through Customs? Why can you som etim es smell roasted chicken in a plane when they are serving you fish? Why do airport s ta ff m em bers get annoyed with some passengers who ask fo r a wheelchair?

Can you guess the answers to any of the questions? What are the answers to the questions, according to the text? Underline the part o f the text that gave you the answer. Do you believe it at all? I don't have a fear of flying; I have a fear of crashing.

Most airline passengers think it is laughable that a small yellow lifejacket with a whistle will make any difference if the plane crashes into the water. However, in some cases, like when a hijacked Ethiopian Airlines Boeing landed in the Indian Ocean in , it did. Despite instructions from the cabin crew not to pre- inflate their lifejackets inside the plane, several passengers did. They were unable to escape the rising water inside the plane. So it is probably a good idea to look up from your magazine when the flight attendant is giving the safety demonstration.

Customs officers are watching everywhere. They are watching you from the moment you walk off the plane, while you are standing in Baggage claim waiting for your bag, and especially when you come out the other side of Customs, which is when people who are trying to smuggle something finally let their guard down and get caught. The large two-way mirror in Customs, behind which customs officers sit and watch is part of that process. As you walk past, it makes you look taller and thinner. So you feel good about yourself and you relax and smile.

Birds are one of the major problems for any airport when planes are taking off and landing. Any large bird can easily cause an accident. It flies into the engine, totally destroying itself and the machinery. Smaller birds are less of a problem. In some cases they can do some damage, but usually they are just roasted. W heelchairs are a big problem for airline staff. Not only is there always a shortage of them for the people who really need them, but what is worse, some of the people who request them often don't need them at all.

I've lost count of the number of times I have pushed someone through the airport, taken them through Customs and Passport Control, gotten a porter to pick up their luggage, and then seen the person jump up in Arrivals and move quickly toward their waiting relatives. Another miracle, courtesy of the airline industry!

After years in a wheelchair, he walks again! The passenger is usually so embarrassed that he disappears as quickly as he can. When this happens, there is often such a strong smell of roasted bird that passengers on the plane think that chicken is being cooked. Where did you fly to? How long for?
