Lifestyle: Ex-pat style
1 Are you thinking of living and working abroad? Do you think you could
live in another culture? A survey of people living and working in the Middle
East asked the same question, with surprising results. Most people living
and working abroad (ex-pats) don't see any difference in the way they work.
Many people get used to cultural differences like working on Sunday and
different ways of working.
2 Many people enjoy working with their colleagues but most people
hardly ever see them after work to socialize with them. Instead they usually
meet people from their own country after work and spend time with them.
3 Is this because ex-pats do not learn the local language? Many people
take language lessons every week, but they don't usually speak the
language outside class and at work they always speak English.
4 Do they miss their own countries? Most people feel homesick
sometimes, but they said this gets better with time.

Are women
better bosses?
Its an.old question - who manages people better, a female
manager or a male manager? We asked two people with
male and female managers for their experiences.
My mgin boss is a man
but the company director I
is|f woman, so I have
''experience of both ways of
management - and there is
[ certainly a difference. My
boss - Paulo- is more traditional. He likes to make all
the decisions. Our company director - Janet - is different.
She is friendlier and thinks about her employees more
than Paulo. I think Janet is a better manager and women
are better managers.
i
H I
You know, I have two bosses
- one man and one woman.
Our woman manager is
in New York, the man is
in London. We see our
London manager more
often than our American manager. When I think about
them, pur woman manager is easier to talk to and is more
interested in her colleagues - what they do, their families,
etc. Our male boss is direct - he likes to find answers to
problems - byt he can make people angry more quickly
than our London boss. In my opirtionlwomen managers
are better than men.

When you have money, its easier to get more money-
banks are more interested in giving money to you. But
what about poorer people? What is the best way to
E help them? Some people say that giving money to poor
>people is the best way, but this only helps for a short
time. To help poor people for a longer time, they need the
same banking;as other people.
- But banks do not like giving money to poorer people - its
' riskier and the amount of money they need is smaller and
its, more expensive to give small amounts of money to
lots of people. So the poor people gp to moneylenders _
; -"rthe most expensive and the worst people to borrow
t. money from.

Watch out! How to stop
injuries at work
What's the main injury in the workplace? Believe it or not it's back
pain, wrist pain and neck pain from doing the same movements
again and again: typing/filing and lifting. Employees working in
an office at the computer all day can get backache and wrist pain.
They can develop problems with their eyes unless they take breaks
from their computer every fifteen minutes.
But managers can stop these injuries before they happen. It's
part of a manager's job to plan and it's a good idea for planning
to include health and safety. Office workers have to work with
some natural light and their computer screen should be about 50
centimetres away. They should sit straight with their feet on the
floor. It's possible for software in their computer to tell them when
to take a break and special keyboards can help prevent wrist ache.
Every manager must look around for where accidents can
happen. It's a good idea to try to stop injuries before they happen!

Our space, our lives
Most of us live and work in spaces that are
nqlgveiy well organized. But where we are
affects how we feel. When \fte organize our ;
spaces better, we can improve our lives. -
The (Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui says
we need to organize our living and working
spaces to help us feel and work better.
V r With Feng Shui we need to think of
spaces as places on a m&p, known as a
'bagua' map. Each part of the map has nine
areasf life: health, reputation, friendship,
creativity, travel, career, knowledge, family
aFp prosperity. When you have money
problems for example, you need to'think
; about the prosperity area - you. need to have
water and wdbd in this area.
Where you,put your furniture affects the
flow of energy in the house or office. Here
are some tips for your office: ys
If you've got lots of furniture, you need to
leave space between the tables and chairs. |
Don't put your desk with your back to the
door-you need to face the door.
Have you got a picture of a lake or the
sea? Put thi^on your office wall.
If you've got a plant, put this in your
office.
EvenJ or people who don't believe in Feng
shui, it shows that people who have got
clean arid simple Workspaces have less
stress, can think more clearly and be more
productive.

French industrial design company fFG is very
successful - it has many products and a lot of
orders. The company started in a small factory
in Lyon making things for the kitchen to a much
better standard than the other companies.
J ean Michel, the director of the company is
also a designer and all IFGs products are of
excellent quality. IFG is now a multinational
company but it is still in the same factory - there
are too many products for the warehouse, and
there are a lot of machines, but IFG needs more.
Finally, the design team is getting bigger and
there are too many people in the design office.
And this is the problem - IFG is too successful.
Read the article again and choose the correct
options below.
1 The company makes things for the garden/
kitchen/ garage.
2 The company director also designs products/
works in the factory/ comes from Lyon.
3 IFD is a(n) local / national / international
company.
( 3 IFG have three possible options for relocation
but it is not an easy choice. Match each option
(1-3) with a problem (a-c).
Options
1 Move the factory to Asia and keep the design ,
office in Lyon - IFG can make their products a lot!
cheaper.
2 Build a new factory - a lot of the IFG employees
are good workers and work well.
3 Move the office and the factory to Asia.
Problems
a Many customers buy IFG products because itfs
a French company. Moving production from Lyon
could decrease sales.
b Communication problems - the company has a
lot of products and they can't control production
so well.
c It's expensive to build a new building and there

;\ was very excited abort this product as we use it every
day and we needed another quickly because the old
one was broken. I ordered it for the next week, but fie
: shipping was: very slow and it came three weeks later -
big items take a long time to ship but this was not fast
^enough at all. We opened all the windows for more air
and used a fan -but the fan wasnt strong enough, and
it was too hot with the window open. So when the TG
Moda arrived, everyone in the office was really happy.
But it wasnt so simple - the instructions werent clear
enough-we needed to guess how to use it. When we
got it to work, we found that it was too small for the office
; - it didn't cool the air enough, it wasnt quiet enough and
the remote control didnt work very well. So the office
is still too warm, the air conditioner is too noisy and too ;
slow and we cant control it properly.

how many people do they tell? At least three other people.
Customers like companies to treat them as individuals. When
you talk to customers, ask them their names, talk about the
weather, let them feel they know you as a person. Try to give
them more than they ask for - a price reduction or free delivery
on a product. And apologize when you make a mistake. Listen
to the problem and ask for information about it, find a solution

Our memories get worse as we get older, this is clear.
But does this have to happen? Can we do exercises for
our brains to stop them becoming so bad and to keep our
memory working?
In 2002 doctors studied a group of older people for four
years. They1_______ active people who enjoyed life - they
2_______ up with friends and 3________ time in museums
and art galleries. They 4_______ books, played card games,
5_______ crossword and sudoku puzzles. They exercised
their minds in memory gyms by trying different techniques
to remember things like making lists of letters into stories to
remember them better. Doctors 6_______ that this group
had a reduced risk of developing Alzheimers disease - a
disease that makes older people forget things.
One study, of course does not prove anything. But the
study supports the idea that we can exercise out brains
to improve the way we think and help us remember
things for longer.

Soon, people 1_____ need wallets to carry money -
we 2_______ use mobile phones to give money to other
people or to pay for things. But this 3 ___be free of
problems. Criminals4. try to take money from
people using this technology. And some people
5 _ _ _ _ _ _ always prefer to use real money.
Every day before we close the door to go to work,
people remember three things: their keys, their
mobile phone and their money. But is the day coming
when we wont need money any more? Will keys and ... ..............
mobiles be enough? People already use cards instead
of cash and many banks do not accept cheques any more. Today mobile phones are often used to pay for
things like car parking. But soon, new mobile phone technology will help us do more things with money
on our phones. We will be able to transfer money by touching two phones together, buy things in stores
or buy travel tickets.
But there will be problems. Often the first people to use new technologies are the first people the
criminals find. Mobile money crime, for example using someone elses bank account illegally, will rise
quickly, but then it will decrease as security gets better. People will be able to lock their mobile money
service when their phone gets lost or stolen.
This doesnt mean that money will not be used anymore, just that fewer people will use it. So when you
walk out of your house in future, you wont need to remember your cash any more..
