I've got a collection of terrible ' mistakes' in my wardrobe. I have never worn them! But I don't mind going shopping with my girlfriend, because she helps me choose. I think women are better at buying clothes than men. They've got better taste and they always know what's in fashion.
You shouldn't be afraid of her. Maybe she's just as shy as you. What about giving her a red rose and a short message? Say something like “I'd really like to know you but I don't know how." She'll probably be excited to know she's got a fan!
Jane usually travels for 2 hours at most and then she can have a rest for at least 3 hours. She meets a lot of interesting people from all over the world. She says she likes it because she doesn't have to work full-time, she can spend more time with our three children and me.
When Mrs. Poor got into the lift, she was carrying only a handbag. After a while, the lift stopped between floors. She shouted and shouted, and rang the alarm, but nobody heard her.
I've known her for four years and I really like her. But she always copies everything I do. If I buy some new clothes, the next day she'll go out and buy exactly the same ones. It's the same with music, films, even my friends! What should I do?

Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Here is what life there could be like.
With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel so fast that the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill.
Humans cannot survive without water, oxygen or food. So far nobody knows whether there would be enough water or oxygen on Mars. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would probably be in the form of pills and would not be so tasty.
Gravity could be another problem. The gravity on Mars is only about three-eighths of that on the Earth. People would have to wear boots that are specially designed to prevent themselves from floating off into space.
Compared with life on the Earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax.
There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would have a computer at home connected to an interplanetary network. They would study at online schools with "e-teachers". The e-teachers" can help with their schoolwork at any time.
