THE BEST SHOPPİNG CİTİES

Which are the best cities to shop in? Writer, Ellie Clare, has been to five cities around the world to find out. This week, she writes about Paris.
I went to Paris in June. It’s a lovely city for sightseeing at that time of year, but it’s also a great place to find high-quality fashion. I started in the boutiques and visited all the top names, including Cartier, Chanel, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent. I’ve never seen such beautiful things, but they are, of course, expensive. I bought some perfume and moved on to the huge department stores of Paris. Two of the most famous are Printemps and Galeries Lafayette and they are definitely good places to visit. One place I found disappointing was The Champs-Elysées. In the old days, it was a great place for fashion, but now there are too many fast-food restaurants, banks, airline offices, shopping centres, and cinemas aimed at tourists. Don’t waste your time there!
After the shops, I tried the markets. One of the most famous places to find treasures in Paris is the flea market. There are three main flea markets and they are situated around the old gates of the city. I spent hours walking around these fascinating places and while I was there, I discovered the meaning of the name flea market. Hundreds of years ago, the royal family gave away their old clothes, but they were full of little insects – fleas, of course! One stallholder told me that the best time to find treasures at the market is before the crowds arrive, usually between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. But that was a bit early for me. I was enjoying Paris nightlife too much! There are also open-air markets all around the city where you can buy flowers, clothes, pets, food, and many other things. And if you want to buy a book, visit the rows of bookstalls along the River Seine. You can find some great bargains there, or you can spend hours just looking.
If you want to buy half of Paris or if you just want to walk around and look, you’ll love the experience. Paris is a great place to shop!

EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION

Can earthquakes be predicted? Scientists are working on programs to predict where and when an earthquake will occur. They hope to develop an early warning system to save lives. Scientists who do this work are called seismologists.

Earthquakes are the most dangerous and deadly of all natural events. They occur in many parts of the world. Giant earthquakes have been recorded in Iran, China, Guatemala, Chile, India, and Alaska. Two of the biggest earthquakes that were ever recorded took place in China and Alaska. These earthquakes measured about 8.5 on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was devised by Charles Richter in 1935 and is used for comparing the energy level of earthquakes. An earthquake that measures 2 on the scale can be felt, but causes little damage. One that measures 4.5 on the scale can cause slight damage, and an earthquake that has a reading of over 7 can cause major damage.

How do earthquakes occur? Earthquakes are caused by the movement of rocks along cracks, or faults, in the earth's surface. The fault is produced when rocks next to each other are pulled in different directions. The best-known fault in North America is the San Andreas Fault in the state of California in the United States.

The nations that are actively involved in earthquake prediction programs include Japan, China, Russia, and the United States. These countries have set up stations in areas of their countries where earthquakes are known to occur. These stations are ready for warning signs that show the weakening of rock layers before an earthquake. Many kinds of seismic instruments are used in these places to watch the movements of the earth's surface. One of the instruments is a seismograph. It can follow vibrations in rock layers thousands of kilometers away. Tiltmeters are used to record surface movement along fault lines. Seismologists use gravimeters to measure and record changes in local gravity. The scientists also check water in deep wells. They watch for changes in the water level and temperature, which are signs of movement along faults.

1. What are scientists who work on earthquake prediction called?

2. Write two of the instruments scientists use to predict earthquakes.

1. The energy level of the earthquake is low if the number on the Richter Scale is high.

2. Japan, China, Russia and the United States have set up stations in all parts of their countries.

3. The changes in the water level and temperature in deep wells indicate movement along faults.

WORLD RECORD 80 YEARS OF MARRİAGE

The couple’s daughter, Jane Woolley, said both her parents were “as happy as Larry”. She said they still have a very loving relationship. She also said they have “stuck together through thick and thin”. She described their relationship as being very close, just like “two peas in a pod”.

The couple gave their secret to a lasting marriage – always apologize after every argument and never go to sleep without apologizing. They also recommended kissing and holding hands before going to bed. Mrs. Arrowsmith told the BBC: “I think we’re very blessed. We still love one another, that’s the most important part.”
