MARGARET
Cape Town is my current favourite holiday city. I'd go back tomorrow if I could. For a start you can sit on the
beach with that wonderful mountain view in the background. It reminds me a bit of Rio, except that it's more
beautiful. But like Rio, of course, there's also a tremendous contrast between the poor and the rich. I think Cape
Town is a truly exciting place to be. There's such enormous change going on; there's a real energy to the place.
You sense that in the nightlife. We went to some great clubs where they played township jazz. I love the fact that
this is a thriving, working city, rather than a place that has grown up only around tourism.
DELIA
A trip to the north west, to a sleepy village high in the Andes, started my love affair with Argentina. It was June
1990 and every evening was spent seeking out the local viewing spot for la Copa Mundial (the World Cup),
sometimes in a garage, sometimes in a bar, and once in somebody's home. The needle match with Brazil made us
travel to the large town of Salta. With 20 minutes to go, Maradona passed, Caniggia scored. The place erupted,
overwhelmed by the excitement. The streets turned blue and white, the traffic stopped, the noise was deafening,
the all-night party had begun. Y Viva Argentina!
JILL
My idea of holiday hell is high-rise hotels, rain, wall-to-wall British accents and the smell of fish and chips.
When it comes to avoiding all those things, I think you have to go quite a long way. There's a very good hotel in
St James in a stunning setting, where you can walk for miles along golden sand unbroken by the tide. But my alltime favourite getaway has to be La Digue Island in the Seychelles, with its long stretches of flat, powdery sand
set against a dramatic backdrop of huge grey rocks and stones. It's been used in countless films and
advertisements. It's the dream beach.
KATE
Darjeeling is popularly known as the "Queen of the Hills" and produces the famous Darjeeling Tea. Me and friends
just visited Darjeeling a week ago. We had a wonderful time. We visited temples and monasteries. It was raining a bit
and the weather was very comfortable. At time it gets really chilly so if you haven't got a blanket you could be in
trouble. Getting to Darjeeling is quite easy, first a train and then I caught the toy train . The toy train is a good option
if you have a lot of time and you don't mind waiting for 7 or 8 hours.

Eurovision is the name given to a network of public European television channels which, founded in
the 1950's, aimed to cut the cost of international news and sports coverage such as Football World Cups and
the Olympic Games. To help justify such a network, members thought up the Eurovision Song Contest in
1956.
2.
The first contest was held in Lugano, Switzerland, and consisted of singers and groups from ten
different European countries. Since then, Eurovision has increased to include 26 countries. And from 2004,
the competition has grown to the size of Demis Roussos when it opened to anyone from the 52 member
states of the European Broadcasting Union.
3.
The rules of the competition have changed constantly since its inception 51 years ago. The way the
artists are picked by the respective countries, and the method of voting the winner, seem to change yearly.
The rule that has changed the most often is the one that stipulates which language the songs can be sung in.
Originally, it was left to individual countries to decide, but when most countries started to choose English,
thinking that this might get them extra votes from the jury, the organizers decided in 1966 to demand that
the singers croon in their native language. This rule was changed again in 1973.
4.
This change left the way open, a year later, for a group from Sweden to sing a song that would make
them famous worldwide. Abba, with their song Waterloo, introduced Europe to Swedish groups and music,
and apart from Celine Dion (for Switzerland in 1988), they are the only artists to have gained international
fame and success from appearing in the contest.
5.
After Abba everyone wanted to sing in English. But, due to the fact that these people were not
singing in their mother tongue, the English that often appears in the words of the songs is a little basic, to
say the least. The winning piece in the 1975 contest was by the Dutch group "Teach-in", called Ding- Dinga-Dong. Here is a sample:
Ding-a-Dong every hour When you pick a flower Try to sing a song That
goes Ding- Ding-a-Dong.
It is unbelievable but that was the winner song.

Weird weather
The weather can be very strange at times. And when we don’t understand the weather, our
imaginations try to explain it. Some reports of sea monsters, UFOs and ghosts are probably just the result of
unusual weather.
Over the past 500 years, there have been more than 1200 reports of sea monsters all over the world.
Some have destroyed ships and even killed people. But there are no real photographs – even today. In fact, a
lot of these sea monsters are probably tornadoes over water, called waterspouts. The tornadoes lift the water
into the air and make a ‘neck’. The water can make a lot of noise and can sound like a monster. Waterspouts
can appear on the seas, rivers or even lakes. Are they an explanationfor the Loch Ness Monster?
In 1996 a small ball of blue and white light flew through the window of a factory in England. It flew
around the factory, hit a window and then suddenly exploded. ‘It was like a horror movie,’ said Simon
Pocock, who was working in the factory at the time. In the past, people thought that things like this were
UFOs or ghosts, and scientists didn’t believe stories like Simon’s. But in 1963 a British scientist, Roger
Jennison, was travelling on a plane
between New York and Washington. The plane was going through a storm and suddenly a ball of light
appeared inside it! Roger wrote about his experience in a scientific magazine and now we call this
phenomenon ball lightning. It usually appears during thunderstorms and can be any colour. But scientists
still don’t understand why it happens.
