Why did you come here? To
work for an English bank. I have
a two-year contraet.
What language do people
speak here? Most people speak
Cantonese, but over a third of
the population speak English.
This is beeause Hong Kong used

China was in 1997.
What do you like about the city? It's an amazing, vibrant
plaee - a real mixture of sounds, sights and smells. l1's
here that 'East meets West'.
Can you explain how 'East meets West'? Well, you might
find a Taoist shrine in the middle of an ultra-modern
skyscraper. You can eat in local Chinese places or in
European restaurants.
Is there anything you dislike about Hong Kong? Well, the
divide between rich and poor is very noticeable here. Also,
It's crowded and quite dirty and the humidity in the
summer is unbearable.
And what about the people? The Chinese are usually
friendly but they can be rude on the metro in the rush
hour!
Can you tell us one last thing you especially love? The
restaurants are the best in the world!
Can you tell us one last thing you hate? The cost of
everything, and the obsession with mobile phones.
And any advice for visitors? Come in the spring or
autumn - the summer ís just too hot and humid.

YOUR WEEKEND IN LISBON

WITH SUNSHINE TOURS
Congratulations on booking your holiday with Sunshine Tours!! Here's
your traveI itinerary for the long weekend.

THURSDAY 18th June

A Sunshine Tours rep will meet you at Lisbon airport and a coach will take
you to your hotel.

FRIDAY 19th June

ln the morning, we will take one of the city's famous yellow trams up to
the Castelo de São Jorge, with fabulous views over the city. The afternoon
is free for you to explore the Baixa district with its interesting shops and
cafés. ln the evening, we will go to the Bairro Alto area for dinner and to
hear the wonderfully melancholy fado music.

SATURDAY 20th June

A day of contrasts. ln the morning, a trip to the oldest neighbourhood,
Alfama. Its little cobbled streets are charming but it is also one of the
poorest parts of the city. We will have lunch in the central Praça do
Comércio and then take the metro to the modern Parque das Nações - the
site of the Expo, which has some stunning architecture. ln the evening,
you are free to enjoy whatever part of thecity you wish.

SUNDAY 21" June

A coach will take us out of the city to visit Sintra, summer residence of the
kings of PortugaL Here, we will see the breathtaking Palácio Nacional and
walk around Sintra's beautiful woods and parks, On our way back, we will
stop at Cascais, just half an hour from the capital. This is a real Portuguese
beach resort, fuII of local people and crarnmed with restaurants, beach cafés
and discos. After a relaxing dinner on the beach, the coach will take us back to
the hotel. Our retum flight leaves early on Monday morning.

Languages in Danger!
There are over 6,000 languages in the world today, but
experts have published a study which predicts that more
than half of these wil! become extinct within the next
hundred years. They give three main reasons why these
languages are in danger.
One reason is invasion. Countries take over other areas where
people speak a different Ianguage. This means that the people
need to start speaking the language of their new rulers.
Another reason is migration. This could be because of war,
disaster 01'the search for work. When they move to a new
country, these people need to Iearn the 10caIIanguage.
Perhaps the main reason, however, is the dominance of the
world's most common native Ianguages - .Mandarin
Chinese (870 miUion speakers), Spanish (320 miUion
speakers), EngIish (310 million' speakers), Arabic (200
million speakers) and Hindi (180 milIion speakers).
870 million peopie now
speak Mandar!n Chinese
as their first ianguage.

1 dead; no Ionger here
2 people entering another pIace and taking contraI
3 the movement of people from one place to another
4 power; contraI; importance
5 in danger of disappearing ar dying out
4 Discuss these questions.
1 How many languages are spoken in your country?
2 Which are becoming more ar less common. Why?
3 Do you think the same languages will be used in
your country in 200 years?
4 Should we try to save endangered languages?
5 How can people make sure a language does not
become extinct?
Because so many people speak these languages, they
have become the major globaIIanguages in business,
films, music, and the internet. This means that even
more people want to Iearn them and, as a result, they
become even more dominant. EngIish, for exampIe, is
now spoken as a first ar additionallanguage by over I
biUion people - nearly a sixth of the world's population.
This dominance clearly causes smaller languages to die
out. Some people think that this is a good thing. They
say that communication wiU be easier, cheaper and
quicker. Others beIieve we should pratect endangered
languages. These people beIieve that when a Ianguage
dies, many of the traditions of the speakers are Iost
too. They argue that we can use the Ianguage to Iearn
a Iot about the history and cuIture of the people that
speak it.

BASIC HOIJSE Architect: Martin Ruíz de Azua
This is a very basic house with only one room, and it is so
portable that it fits in your pocket.
The house has an interior area of 8 cubic metres and is
made from metallic polyester. The fabric is gold on one
side to protect against the cold and silver on the other to
keep the warmth in. Ir is even translucent so you can look
outside. Ir weighs only 200 grams and is inflated by
blowing air into the fabric - a tent but without a frame.
When you don't need a house, you can let out the air and use
the fabric as a blanket. Or put it in your pocket and move
on. And the best thing? Ir only costs around $50 to make.
lV1AISON-VALISE (SUITCASE HOME)
Architects: Claire Petetin and Philippe Gregoire
These houses are made of durable plastic materiaIs
often used in sports equipment. The units are kept flat
when not in use, but can be pulled out like a concertina
on wheels to create a lide of temporary rooms.
The architects who designed them want to change our
concept of mobile homes. They don't belong only in
caravan parks and green areas ~ they can aIso be used in
urban areas for homeless people, immigrants and
refugees, depending on the city and the situation. The
only problem? Each one costs around $100,000.
