If you cross from England to France by sea which cross-channel service shoulo you choose? You can go by hovercraft, ferry or by catamaran. A hovercraft travels the fastest at fifty five knots. This may not be so important to you and you may prefer the comfort of a catamaran which sails at thirty seven point eight knots. There is not much difference between the catamaran and ferry. The ferry is one knot slower than the catamaran. If you do not like crowds, you may prefer a hovercraft as its maximum number of travellers is only three hundred and ninety. On the other hand, the catamaran can hold up to eight hundred passengers, while a ferry accommodates two hundred fewer than this. Of course there are a large number of passengers who wish to take their cars across the Channel. A hovercraft and a ferry

only have an equal capacity of fifty cars. However, your best bet is a catamaran which can carry double that. Unsurprisingly, of the three means of transport, it is the fastest which has proved the most popular. (Wait 15 seconds before reading the instructions for a second time.)

The kitchen has been designed to recreate the look of a bygone era and together with the refurbished wine-cellar makes a worthwhile addition to the standard A childrens room has been set up to entertain young minds. As for the more energetic and adventurous, there has always been the spectacular view of the nearby coastline at the top of the 140-step tower. The latter nowadays can also serve as a private party room and this is bound to be a popular extra facility. Entry and tour now cost £3 per adult, with a discount of £1 for those over 65.

RECYCLED GLASS Milk, dairy products and various kinds of drinks are often sold in cartons. In many countries, however, bottles made from glass are widely used as well. Known to man for thousands of years, glass is the answer for todays concerns about the environment and the quality of life. It is a completely pure and natural material It cannot affect the taste of the liquid it contains. It keeps unwanted moisture, smells and gases out and the freshness of the product in If we replaced au our refillable glass bottles by non-recyclable cartons, we would find

ourselves with an enormous mountain of additional rubbish to burn each year. This would add further to the greenhouse effect. A glass bottle can be refilled and recycled many Umes, making it the most environmentally-friendly container a household can choose. Glass is 100% recyclable. 11 is the only material which can be so easily and endlessly recycled Old or damaged bottles are sent to bottle makers recycling plants. Here they are added to other waste glass, which is then cleaned, crushed and added to raw materials in the furnace. All types of glass packaging are chemically compatible and can be mixed together once they have been sorted by colour. The recycling process then continues and makes the glass into perfect new containers again and again. Packaging and cartons that can only be used once waste valuable raw materials and energy. Because the glass bottle can be refilled many times, more of the worlds natural resources can be preserved. It is recycled using less energy than other

processes, so further savings can be made as well. People are now more aware of health and environmental matters, and think carefully about packaging on the goods they purchase. Consumers are tired of buying over-packaged items and look for containers which preserve the product, make it look attractive but do not waste resources on unnecessary packaging. Glass ls the clear natural choice on all these fronts. The glass bottle is a true green friend of the earth C10 - 11 • EL-ESOL 3 RECYCLED GLASS FACT FILE GLASS : THE GREEN ALTERNATIVE Advantages of glass over other types of materials: 1 Save energy 2 3 4 5 6 Advantages of glass containers for food products: 1 Protect contents 2 3 4 5 6 C11 90017 90017 - 12.

As the lucky winners of our fabulous Holiday Break Competition, you will soon be enjoying the holiday of a lifetime on Paradise Island. This beautiful, tropical island in

the Southern Ocean has sixty miles of beaches fringed with coconut palms and is surrounded by sparkling coral reefs. Your carefree holiday begins when you board the Paradise Airways Jet. The first part of your prize is an economy-class flight direct from your local airport to Paradise Island, with a free coach to transfer you from the airport to your hotel. However, if you prefer to travel by taxi from the airport, this can be arranged but you will have to pay the taxi driver on arrival at your hotel, the luxurious, five star "Hotel President". For the next seven nights you can enjoy, at our expense, the superb accommodation the hotel has to offer, together with breakfast every day in any one of Its five restaurants. To complete your stay, we have also included a full-day tour of the island for you so that you can enjoy the beauty of your surroundings to the full. At the end of your week the coach will take you back to the airport. Again, if you choose to travel by taxi to

the airport youll have to pay the cost of this yourself. Before boarding the aircraft, you will be asked to pay your airport tax. Then, sadly, it will be time for your flight home at the end of a truly magical holiday in Paradise. (Wait 2 minutes and tell the candidates to finish writing.)
