Read this article about millionaire homes and match the
descriptions with the photos.
Some millionaires like tiving ir the centre of the
wodd's capital cities. Others prefer to live
somewhere quiet and private. Here are three
special rnillionaire homes: one on the beach, one
in the rnountains and one in t}re middle of a
tropical forest.
I
2
The first home is a rree house, builr high up
in the trees of a tropical rain forest. But it,s no
ordinary tree house. It,s on two floors and
there are two bathrooms and three bedrooms.
The top floor of the house is a roof-top
terrace. This is the ,breakfasrroom,. where
you can have your coffee and cornflakes with
the monkeys. They think the house is just
another tree!
Match each sentence with a home.
Example
You can go horse riding here. house1
d) There's a beach near the house.
e) There are fantastic views from the roof.
f)
Wild animals come onto the roof-top terrace.
s) You can swim on the roof.
h) There isn't a ground floor in this house.
16
l.
The second home is an old monastery, built
high on a rock. The only way ro get ihere is
by helicopter. There's a helicopter pad on the
roof, next to the swimming pool. It isn't very
big: only three bedrooms, a living room, rwo
bathrooms, a kitchen and a gym. And some
very spectacularviews.
3
The third home is my personal favourite. It,s a
beach house, but a beach house with a
difference. It's got a private beach, of course.
In fact, it's built on its own private island.
This home is actually a collection of small
houses: a little village in fact. There are four
swimming pools, eight tennis courts and
twenty horses in the riding stables.
Pr onunc iat ion
1
a) You need a helicopter to get to this house.
b) There isn't a swimming pool.
c) There are several houses built next to each
other. -__..-

Which Hawaiian beach is the home of modern
surfing?
A Brief Hisrory of
Surfins
Surfing is not a new sport. Hundreds of years
ago the princes and princesses of Hawaii were
famous surfers and surfing was a royal art.
The sailor James King was the first European
to see the Hawaiians surhng. He wrote about
his travels to Hawaii in 1778 and described
how the Hawaiians played in the enormous
waves on the beach in\l/aikiki.
1 photo _
In 1907 the writer Jack London visited
Waikiki beach and met George Freeth. Freeth
was an Irish Haq'aiian and he rvas one of
Harr'aii'sbest surfers.Jack London invited him
to visit California. Freeth accepted the
inlitation and became the frrst man to surf in
California.
But the man who really made surfrng
popular in the USA was Duke Paoa
Kahanamoku. Duke was an Olympic swimmer
and a Hollywood star. He took his Hollywood
friends surfing on Santa Monica beach in
California and in 1915 he introduced the sport
to Australia.
2 photo _
In the 1960s and 70s the sport grew and
grew. The Beach Boys sang about it, Holllwood
made films about it and surfing became
California's number one free-time activity.
Today surfing is an international sport, with
competitions held all over the world. But
Vaikiki beach is still one of the best surfing
beaches in the world, with some of the world's
best waves and some of the world's best
surfers.

lt's called the Diamante and it costs S23.000.
It's made of gold and diamonds and there
are only seven of them in the whole world.
The people who bought these incredibly
expensive motrile phones include a Saudi
prince and an Italian football player.
The Italian soccer star paid cash, and he
came to pick it up in his red Ferrari
Testarossa.The Saudi prince bought one for
his wife when she fell in love with it after
seeinga picture in a magazine.
The famous Olcl Homesteadrestaurantin
Neq'\trrk introduced a nen' dish this s'eek:
the Kobe burger. It's the first tirne the
135--year
old steak house has offered a
hamburger on its menu. But it's no ordinar-r'
hambr-rrger.
At S.i1 it s probably the most
expensivehamburgerin the world.
And q'hat makes it so special?Veii, it's
made with Kobe beef from Japan. Kobe
beef is made from the meat of cows that
drink beer every day. They also have daily
massagesto make sure their meat is soft
and tender.
It's made with fwo types of champagne, it's
bright blue in colour and the barman serves
it to you on a special musical throne. He
suggeststhat you share it with a group of
friends. And it's certainly true that the size
and the price make it difficult, if not
impossible, to drink it on your own.
So, where can you buy this extravagant
drink? At the stylish Radisson SASRoyal
Hotel in the centre of Copenhagen. And
exactly how much does it cost?It costs 3000
Kroner, approximately 400 euros - so start

Washington Otis took the stain remover
from a bag. Pinkerton's Stain Remover
looked like a small black stick. He rubbed the
stick on the blood-stain. A minute later the
floor was clean. The stick had removed the
stain quickly and easily.

Thunder crashed over the house. Mrs Umney

Mr and Mrs Otis ran across the library.
They helped the old housekeeper who lay on
the floor. Mrs Umney's eyes were closed and
her face was pale.
'Mrs Umney! Mrs Umney!' cried Mrs
Otis.'Can you speak?'
Mrs Umney opened her eyes. 'Trouble

the ghost. The ghost will come to you.'

Mr Otis got out of bed and oPened the
bedroom door. He looked into the corridor'
He saw the Canterville Ghost in the
corridor. The ghost was an old man with
burning red eyes. He had long grey hair and
wore very old-fashioned clothes' There were
chains on his hands and feet' He was rubbing
the chains together so they made a noise'
'My dear sir, your chains make a terrible
noise,' Mr Otis said to the ghost' 'You must
put some oil on those chains' Here is some
Tammany Rising Sun Oil from the United

Mr Otis put a bottle of oil on a table in the
corridor. Then he closed his bedroom door
and went back to bed.

Washington Otis removed the blood-stain in
the library every day. Every morning the
stain had reappeared. But the stain was no

was brown. Another morning it was purple.

Before daylight came, the Canterville
Ghost felt better. Were there two ghosts in the
house? He must find out. He must meet the
second ghost.
He went back upstairs and walked along
the corridor towards the twins' room. The
second ghost was still there, but its eyes were
no longer burning. He went up to it. He
touched it. The head of the second ghost fell
onto the floor. It was not a ghost at all. It was
a head made from a large round vegetable
called a pumpkin. The twins had put a candle
inside it. There was a card on the floor.

CANTERVILLEGHOST
The twins had put the head in the
corridor to frighten him. This made the
Canterville Ghost very angry. What could
he do? He could think of nothing at that
moment so he went back to his room.
Slowly and silently he walked to the
twins' bedroom. It was one o,clock in the
morning. The house was quiet. The door of
the twins' room was slightly open.
The ghost took off his head and carried it
under his arm. It is terrifying to see a headless

He had planned to shout and hold his
head in his hands. But a heavy jug of water
fell from the top of the door. The twins had
played a trick on him. He was soaked with
water. The twins shouted and laughed.
The ghost ran back down the corridor. He
could not frighten the twins. He could not
frighten anyone in the Otis family.

Behind him, the twins ran down the corridor.
They shouted -'Boo!'- in his ears and waved
their arms. Washington Otis laughed at him.
The ghost did not know what to do. He ran
through the nearest dooq, went back to the
secret room and lay down. He could not
frighten anyone.He was a very unhappy ghost.
The ghost felt very weak and tired. He stayed
in his room for five days. He did not repaint the

quietly. 'I'm sorry that my brothers were

Mr Otis went to tell the village policeman
that Virginia had disappeared. But, by that
time, it was dark and no one could search any
more that night.
None of the family wanted to eat or sleep.
They sat in the library and waited. They
hoped Virginia would return safely. They
planned to search for Virginia again in the
morning.
