More than 80 people were made

yesterday when floods destroyed their
homes.
Heavy rain had fallen over the area
around the Borders for three days.
Homes and shops were flooded and
many people spent the night in schools
and the local community centre. The
emergency services rescued at least
30 people from their homes and cars.
One unhappy shop-keeper said ‘I can’t
open my shop. It’ll take me weeks to
clean it and replace the things that are
broken. We have floods every year, but
nobody does anything about it.’
This morning, people were returning to
their homes to start cleaning up. But
around 30 homes were very badly
damaged. It will be a long time before
the owners can go back home.

Dear Mr Thomas,
I am writing to you regarding the
advertisement for cabin crew on space
trips to the Moon. I would like to submit
an application for the post. Please find
my CV attached.
I am 25 years old, single and in
excellent health. For the last two years,
I have worked as a member of the
cabin crew of FlyYou airlines. This has
given me hands-on experience of
working with passengers, and helping
them to relax and feel comfortable. I
have always been interested in space
travel and used to dream of flying to the
Moon when I was a boy.
If you require any further information, or
would like to arrange an interview,
please call me on 284 6735 or email
me at smithj5000@yazoo.com. I look
forward to hearing from you at your
earliest convenience.

I really feel for you. You’re in a very
difficult situation. But as you know, you
have to do something about it or the
situation will only get worse. If I were
you, I’d sit down and talk to her as soon
as possible. But first do some research
and find out if there are any careers
advisers in your area. The best place to
start would be your local
unemployment office. They’ll be able to
tell you what the options are. Sharon
probably needs to retrain if she can’t
find a job and I’m sure there are
courses she’ll be able to do, which are
usually paid for by the government. If
you give her some ideas, I’m sure she’ll
cheer up and start looking for a job
again. Good luck!

I really feel for you. You’re in a very
difficult situation. But as you know, you
have to do something about it or the
situation will only get worse. If I were
you, I’d sit down and talk to her as soon
as possible. But first do some research
and find out if there are any careers
advisers in your area. The best place to
start would be your local
unemployment office. They’ll be able to
tell you what the options are. Sharon
probably needs to retrain if she can’t
find a job and I’m sure there are
courses she’ll be able to do, which are
usually paid for by the government. If
you give her some ideas, I’m sure she’ll
cheer up and start looking for a job
again. Good luck!

In March 2010, Russian maths genius
Grigory Perelman refused a $1m prize
for solving the Poincaré conjecture,
which is one of the most difficult
problems in mathematics. He had
refused another award in 2006
because he said he was not interested
in money or fame. He was born in St
Petersburg in 1966 and was a maths
genius at school. He did a PhD and
had a distinguished career. In 1995, he
refused to send a CV to Stanford
University because he thought that it
wasn’t necessary. He gave up
mathematics in 2006, and he now lives
with his mother in St Petersburg.

Do you like Moroccan food in authentic
surroundings? If so, the Oasis Café Bar
is the place to go. It’s located in a little
street in the centre of Oxford and is
decorated with authentic Moroccan
furniture. In the evening, you can eat by
candlelight and enjoy a relaxing and
romantic dinner. While the food is not
cheap, it’s still reasonably priced. From
5–7p.m. you can eat a delicious two-
course meal for only £13.75. Later in
the evening, it costs £17.95.
The restaurant specialises in food
based on recipes from Marrakech. The
tagines and couscous are so delicious
that you’ll want to try them all! But the
dish I recommend trying is bastilla, a
wonderful chicken pie with almonds,
cinnamon and sugar – my favourite.

It’s easy to see the advantages of
mobile phones in our everyday lives.
It’s hard to imagine what life was like
before we had them.
One of the main advantages is that you
can get in touch with people at all
times. This is particularly useful if you
have children and you want to know
where they are. Texting also makes it
very easy to organise meetings with
friends at the last minute.
The problem is that, on the other hand,
mobiles can be very annoying.
Although I couldn’t live without mine, I
find it quite irritating to be interrupted by
calls when I’m out with friends. As well
as that, I hate sitting next to people
who have loud phone conversations on
buses.
In my opinion, however, the
advantages outweigh the
disadvantages. I think the mobile
phone is one of the most important
inventions of the last 100 years.

courage to challenge the Pope in Rome

I’d like to be like him because he was
brave, innovative and charismatic. He
was king at a very dangerous time in
British history and it was important for
him to have sons to become king when
he died. For this reason, he divorced
his first wife and married five more
times. However, he had many enemies

It’s easy to say I’d do things differently
