(1)After the birth of their third child, John and Lisa decided they needed a larger house. They found a perfect one on the outskirts of town. It had a lovely garden and was only a few minutes from the children’s school. The only problem was that the nearest shops were quite far away.
(2)The couple’s old house was soon sold and they started planning their move. They bought new carpets, arranged for the furniture to be moved and all the necessary paperwork was completed. The day before the move, Lisa went into town to do some shopping.

The mechanic arrived about forty minutes later and quickly identified the problem. It would take him an hour to fix the car, so Lisa decided to visit a museum she had always wanted to go to.
(4)When she finally arrived back home, she found her husband very worried. She explained what had happened and John was annoyed that Lisa had been so careless. They had so much to do the day before the move, and now he would have to take her car to be fixed.
(5)The next morning proved to be even more stressful. The removal truck arrived an hour late, which meant that everything was delayed from the start. Lisa spent several hours trying to pacify the children who were upset at having to leave their old house.
(6)The move was completed at last and the family did eventually settle into their new home. However, they realised that they had made a big mistake in moving so far from the shops. Driving just to buy bread was a chore they had not anticipated.

(1)Few people think about studying when they plan to go on holiday. They have visions of lying on beaches, seeing new sights and eating exotic food. But there are many advantages to taking a course while on holiday. Language courses are an obvious choice, but many language schools also offer courses on history, culture, and cookery.
(2)In just one week, you can gain an insight into the culture of the country you are visiting, and by speaking to the locals, you can understand the thinking of the people. This is much more interesting than just taking a guided tour because you are part of the process of discovery.
(3)Many holiday destinations have their well-known culinary specialties, and taking a cookery course can help you to recreate the flavours when you return home. You can learn to make simple sauces, classic dishes or even the exotic recipes of Far Eastern countries.
(4)Attempts to describe a second language are always subject to shortcomings, but the sound of it, the rhythms of it, the beauty of it and the cultural nuance all become clearer if you actually study it. This can be fun and educational, and it makes communication easier.
