A
A famous artist - Picasso
Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain, the son of an artist, Jose Ruiz, and Maria Picasso. He took his mother's surname, [which] was more unusual than his father's. Picasso's [career] as an artist lasted [over] 75 years. Many people [believe] that he changed modern art more than any other artist of his [generation] Picasso died in France in 1973.
A love of Travelling
For Nigel Portman, a love of travelling began with what's called a 'gap year'. In common with many other British teenagers, he chose to take a year out, travelling in America and Asia, before [setting down] to study for his degree. Now that his university course has [come] to an end, Nigel is just about to leave on a three-year trip that will take him [right] around the world, using only 'natural' transport. In other words, he'll be [relying] mostly on bicycles and his own legs: and when there's an ocean to cross, he won't be taking a [short] cut by climbing aboard a plane, he'll be joining the crew of a sailing ship instead.

Birth of the movies
Moving pictures were invented by the brothers Louis and Auguste Lumiere at the end of the 19th century. Movies very [quickly] became popular all over the world. In 1907 the first studios were built in a [district] of Los Angeles called Hollywood. It was the perfect place, close to many kinds of natural scenery. [by/in] the 1920s, Hollywood was the center of the world film [industry]. To beginwith, the movies had no sound.

Bebel Gilberto
Bebel Gilberto is one of Brazil's most talented singers. Her first album. 'Tanto Tempo', [was] bought by over a million people, and is among the biggest-selling Brazilian albums of all [time]. Her second album, called simply 'Bebel Gilberto', followed a few years later.Bebel comes from a successful musical family and she [remembers] growing up with music all around her.She is particularly grateful [to] her mother, who was her first singing teacher. She sang on her her on stage at nine years old [joined] her on stage.
Book review
Dava Sobel's best-seller. Longitude, tells the story of John Harrison's long [battle] with the English establishment of the 18th century to prove that his clocks were the best way to measure longitude at sea. The establishment [impersonated] in the figure of Sir Nevile Maskelyne found it demeaning that a simple, uneducated mechanic could do better than all the brilliant astronomers. Maskelyne did everything he could to frustrate Harrison. Reading this book, I was struck by how many great inventors have had little education, and in particular how little they [owe] to science. Harrison [found out] mechanics while working as an apprentice carpenter. Thomas Edison had less than three months of normal schooling and Guillermo Marconi had a limited formal education. With the exception of James Watt, none of the great pioneers of steam was even literate, [let] alone university educated.

Deserts 1
Deserts exist in every continent of the world apart from Europe. Most deserts are hot, but there are also cold deserts. In fact, the world's largest desert is Antarctica, [which] is made almost completely of ice. The Sahara desert [covers] ten per cent of Africa, and is the world's largest hot desert. However, the hottest place on earth is Death Valley in California; on 10 July 1913, the temperature there [reached] 56.7 °C – the highest temperature [ever] recorded.Some plants manage to live in deserts, but they grow very slowly. The saguaro cactus, for example, [takes] thirty years to grow one metre tall.
Deserts 2
Deserts exist in every continent of the world apart from Europe. A region can be called a desert if its
[average] annual rainfall is under 250 mm. [While] most deserts are hot, there are also cold deserts, such as Antarctica, a desert made almost completely of ice.
Deserts are often [thought] of as impossible places to live in, but they are actually home to a [wide] range of plants and animals. With so [little] rainfall, plants grow slowly and only flower on rare occasions.

Getting on Well at Work
Most people spend so much of their lives at work that it's [vital] to develop good relationships with those around them.
Humour is always a help. If you can laugh at yourself and with your colleagues, you'll be more than [halfway] there. Don't be upset by teasing; touchy people always get more than their [fair] share of people making fun of them because they are seen to be vulnerable. It's a hard world, and you have to be quite tough to [withstand] the pressures.
The best practical advice is to try hard to keep on top of the job. If you feel comfortable about this, you'll be less anxious and have more energy left to [devote] the crucial task of relating to others.

John Ruskin 1
In the nineteenth century, John Ruskin, an English writer and art critic, made great efforts to encourage people to draw, believing that this was a much-neglected skill. As well as giving lectures, he published two books on drawing, which were [widely] read. Ruskin's efforts were not I [aimed] at turning people into good artists but at making them happier. He felt that, when we are involved in the process of drawing something, we become more aware of the different parts which [make] up the whole.
It is in this way that we [come] to a deeper appreciation and [understanding] of the thing itself.
