Now that the United Kingdom’s latest population statistics are available, Terry Bleater asks, ‘Do the British know who they are?’ To the rest of the world, people from the UK are British. But its surprising to learn that only 31 percent of people inthe UK say they are just British. In fact, nearly half the population say their nationality is something else — Scottish, Wels Vietnamese, Indian or Somali. Some people, about 16 percent, even say that they have two nationalities: they are British, but also Scottish or Chinese. There are hundreds of possibilities! Are wwe confused? Is it a problem? No, it doesn’t seem to be. Britain is changing all the time and we are not just tolerant of differences proud of them. We enjoy the diversity that multiculturalism gives us. The ethnic groups that exist in the UK bring with them at least six major religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Judaism. Each community contributes its own culture and language. Britain still has two official languages; English and Welsh, but we speak many more approximately 150 in fact ~ from Mandarin Chinese to Urdu, Many of us are even bilingual And then there's the fun stuff that ral-diversity brings, in music. food and the arts. The days of fish and chips are behind us, as a walk around the capital shows. Almost every district has Lebanese, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants. Thousands of Londoners visit the Notting Hill Carnival every year to dance to steel bands, reggae, soca, calypso and jazz Our cinemas show films from India and South America and thousands of people fill our pubs and clubs to listen to everything from Irish dance bands to African hip-hop. Welcome to New Britain: a confident, tolerant country which is proud of its many cultures.VOCABULARY 1 Think Back!

Every year, during the last week in April, people are invited to turn off their TVs for a week and to do something more useful. Since 1995, TV Turnoff Week has been organised by anti-TV campaigners in the USA and the UK. Organisers believe that 24 million people have given up television for a week and that afterwards 80 percent of them watched less TV and about 20 percent stopped watching television completely. But can't television be educational? Doesn't TV news tell us more about what is happening in the world than any other type of media? Anti-TV groups don’t agree. ‘Television is hopeless at explaining the reasons behind the news; they argue. 'We often watch shocking TV pictures of wars, social problems or famine but we often don’t understand why these problems started’ Campaigners also say that watching TV is a passive activity. The average person spends two months of the year in front of the television. This means that many people don’t get enough exercise - or use their brains. There are other negative effects too - families spend less time talking to each other and TVs are often used as babysitters. Campaigners are also worried about the influence that TV has on children and young adults ~ for example, the average 19-year-old American has watched 350,000 commercials and 18,000 murders on television. @G FEATURES So there are certainly convincing arguments to turn off the TV. But what do the anti-TV groups recommend instead of watching your favourite soap opera? ‘Read the TV Turnoff Week leaflets and you will find lots of ideas: go to the library, learn a musical instrument, play with your pets or start a diary. Or you could learn about your family history do some charity work, or go to a museum. Read a newspaper or listen to the radio! So, there are plenty of things to do, but are they as much fun as watchin Ww Annie Davidson, a lecturer in Media Studies from North London doesn’t think that watching TV is a passive activity. ‘On the contrary, it gives you something to talk about. For example, when we watch a soap opera, we form opinions about characters or stories. And if you don’t watch it too much, TV isn’t necessarily harmful for your health. Life is busier and more stressful than ever before. We need a simple way to relax in the evenings and television is perfect’ So will Annie Davidson take par in TV Turnoff Week? ‘I'm certainly going to watch less. There's a great drama on the radio this evening TV Turnoff Week begins on April 25.‘Are you a TV addict?

He won and lost several fortunes, had forty-five false identities, and was arrested at least fifty times! Born near Prague in 1890, ‘Victor grew up in a middle-class family and learned to speak five languages fluently, However, he soon turned to a life of crime and in the 1920s he emigrated to the USA. B ‘In Missourl in 1922 he used his most famous alias ~ rich Austrian aristocrat ‘Count’ Victor Lustig. He paid a bank $22,000 fora very ‘ld farmhouse that nobody wanted to buy. At the same time he asked the bank manager to lend him $10,000. The man agreed and they exchanged envelopes. However, the envelope that Victor handed over did not contain any money, and Victor got away with ‘both his original $22,000 and the bank's $10,000! c ‘Three years later he returned to Europe. He had already made ‘ver $40,000 in the USA. One afternoon in a Paris café, Lustig saw ‘newspaper article which said thatthe Eitfel Tower was in poor Condition. The repairs were going to be extremely expensive and a ‘ew politicians had suggested demolishing it! This gave Lustig an ‘ingenious idea ~ to sell the Eifel Tower. D First, he asked a forger to make some ‘official’ government notepaper. Then, as ‘Deputy Director General ofthe Post Otfice" hie wrote to five companies which he thought might be interested in buying the Eitfel Tower. He told the businessmen thatthe ‘government had decided to demolish the tower and sell the metal from it. He explained thatthe Tower was already thirty-six years ‘ld and the architect had never planned to build a permanent structure. Because the government's decision was controversial, the businessmen promised to keep the plan secret. . The five company directors then made their offers to buy the Eifel ‘Tower. Lustig chose the highest offer, took the cash, and escaped ‘to Austria to enjoy his money. Each day, Lustig checked the Paris Newspapers for news of his amazing con. But there was nothing ~ the businessman, Monsieur Poisson, was too embarrassed to tell anyone how Lustig had cheated hit & So Lustig returned to Paris, wrote to another five companies . ‘and sold the Eiffel Tower for a second time! However, this time his victim went to the police and Lustig had to flee to the USA.1 Read the article. Match paragraphs A~F with the ‘correct heading.
