UNIT 9: HEALTHCARE

SUMMARY OF HEALTHCARE

In this unit I learned many things about the healthcare, for example these:

Most of the time we feel well. We can play sports, go to work and enjoy our lives. But sometimes we just don't feel well. Some people have medical insurance but most people can't afford it and rely on the National Health Service (NHS). The NHS has sent everybody in Britain a Self-Help Guide. This will help you diagnose what is wrong an find the best treatment. It covers things like headaches, coughs an colds, having a temperature or a stomach ache. For many people it could be all they need. You may need to go to the chemist to buy cough mixture or pills for headache. There are lots of medicines you can buy in chemist but more powerful ones like antibiotics you need to have a prescription from a doctor.

The NHS also provides Walk-in Centres in more than 60 locations in Britain. You don't need an appointment - you can just go in and wait until a doctor is available to treat you. Walk-in Centres treat minor illnesses like colds and flu, cuts and sprains.
But many people prefer alternative medicine. This can include many kinds of treatment using both very old and very modern techniques. One of the most common alternative treatments is the use of Chinese herbs- these are completely natural medicine. Acupuncture- a Chinese technique using needles placed carefully in the body- is also popular.

UNIT 8: Computers

SUMMARY OF COMPUTERS

Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyses evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60% of homes in Britain have got a personal computer. For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of pending spare time. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights ready for you to come back home. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop too much sun from entering a room. 44% of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was trusted friend. 20% said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone.

UNIT 7: TRANSPORTS IN LONDON

SUMMARY OF TRANSPORTS IN LONDON

A lot of people, exactly 1.8 million people travel into the center of London by train every day. The London Underground , called the Tube, was the first in the world when it opened in 1863. Sometimes you have to walk around one point in your journey.People use lots of other forms of transport in London. Some people use the boats to cross the River Thames to go to work.But some kinds of transports aren't very goods in London, for example the car, they are very slowly to move because there is a lot of traffic.The buses and taxis have got a special lanes on the road and they move more quickly.This people made the same journey every day to go to work.

UNIT 6: MARITIME HISTORY

Summary of Maritime history

In this unit I learned many things about the maritime history of Engalnd, for example these:

In England no town is more than 170 km from the sea. So it's no surprise that Britain has a very important history of ships and the sea. The British Navy was the biggest navy in the world at one time, but now is smaller than other ships and it's using to taking people on business or holiday. In Liverpool there is a great museum of maritime history. It's a got several ships in the docks outside. Inside it shows what it was like to be on some of the ships.

Between 1830 and 1930 more than 9.000.000 people from all over Europe left from the port of Liverpool to start a new life in America or Australia. In the early twentieth century there were large numbers of very elegant passenger ships. They crossed the Atlantic from Liverpool or Southampton to New York in five or six days. The most famous ship was probably the Titanic. It sank in 1912 and over 1.500 people drowned.
