Travelling gives you many wonderful experiences you cannot find in your own country. You meet local people and get to understand different cultures. Its so exciting. I love planning trips and doing some research on the country or countries I want to...
Transportation hasnt really changed a lot in the past 100 years. When you think about changes in other areas of our life, transportation is pretty much the same as it was years ago. OK, cars, trains and airplanes are faster, but theyre not so differe...
Transplants are amazing. Its incredible to think how much doctors can do. A few decades ago, doctors conducted the first heart transplant. It was headline news. It was like a medical revolution, the greatest breakthrough in science. Today, thousands...
Translation is a tricky business. There are so many things that are very difficult to translate from one language to another. Of course lots of words are easy. A book is a book in all languages. But is it? In English you can go by the book if you wan...
Trains are great. They must be the best way to travel. Its so nice sitting on the train seat, stretching your legs and looking out the window. I love looking at the world go by from the train window. Taking a train in another country is even better....
Someone really should do something about the traffic. Its terrible. Its getting worse every day. There are so many cars on the roads these days. Its a nightmare driving in the city. Bumper to bumper even at midnight. I dont know where all this traffi...
I love toys. And Im nearly fifty years old. I think theyre great fun. Of course I only play with toys with my grandchildren. Toys of any kind keep children happy. Even if its a horrible, cheap, free toy from McDonalds, they love them. The thing that...
Tourism has changed a lot over the past few decades. It is actually quite a new thing. It probably didnt exist fifty years ago. The only people who travelled then were rich, and they were called travelers. I guess tourism started in the late 60s and...
There never seems to be enough time to do things. I always seem to run out of time. I really wish there were more hours in the day. Then I could slow down and relax, and get everything done. Time is a fun thing. Sometimes it flies usually when youre...
Tigers are the most beautiful creatures on Earth. They look so striking in every way. Their size is awesome. They are much bigger than humans, and ten times more powerful. They are very fast and very agile. But the best thing is their colour and patt...
When I was growing up, I always thought the theatre was for rich people. I guess in a way it is. Theatre tickets in London are pretty expensive, especially for a whole family. But as I got older, I found you could go to the theatre quite cheaply. I f...
I dont understand why people want a pet. Its strange. Why would you want an animal to live in the same house as you? Some people let their pets sleep on their bed. This doesnt sound too hygienic to me. Cats and dogs spend a long time outdoors, puttin...
I hate tests. Who was it who decided that tests are a good way to test your knowledge? Probably someone who liked putting students through pain. Tests are so unfair. People who are good at remembering lots of things for a short time are good at tests...
Ever since I can remember, Ive seen terrorism on the news. I grew up in London. In the 1970s, we had a lot of bombings and I even heard a bomb once. There has also been terrorism in other countries from Spain to Sri Lanka. But terrorism really hit th...
Tennis is one of the greatest games in the world. You can see people playing it in pretty much every country on Earth. Anyone can play it. All you need is a tennis racket and a ball. You can even play it when youre three or four years old. Most of th...
