" Agatha Christie is possibly the world’s most famous detective story writer .She wrote
79 novels and several plays .Her sales outnumber those of W. Shakespeare. However, behind
her 4,680,000 words was a painfully shy woman whose life was often lonely and unhappy.
She was born in 1890 in Devon, the third child of Clarissa and Frederic Miller ,and
grew into a beautiful and sensitive girl with waist-length golden hair. She didn’t go to school
but was educated at home by her mother .Her father died when she was 11 and both she and
her mother were grief-stricken. During World War 1,while she was working in a hospital
dispensary, she learned about chemicals and poisons, which proved to be very useful to her
in her later career. She wrote her first detective novel in 1920. In it she introduced Hercule
Poirot ,the Belgian detective who appeared in many subsequent novels. Her other main
detective was an elderly spinster called Miss Marple."

" Eighteen-year-old Lauren Clark is a student, but she isn't at university yet. Instead
she's taking a gap year. 'I decided not to start my maths course immediately. Instead I'm here
in Ghana for six months. I'm teaching English and maths to school children. I'm also helping
to build the school library. I'm so surprised I can actually do all of this. I'm developing
qualities I didn't know I had. I'm more patient and polite – and I'm certainly not lazy here! I
feel more responsible and I think I'm growing up.'
In Europe, taking a gap year is very common. Instead of heading straight to college after
school, more and more students take a year off to travel, work, explore special interests or
volunteer.
'Colleges find that students who made this choice are more confident and mature when
they arrive and do better on their courses,' said Dr Edwin Chance, Rector of York University."

" It is from the Ancient Greeks that we get the word music. They called it 'mousike'
after the nine muses goddesses of inspiration. The Greeks attached great importance to
music. Each year in Athens a singing competition was held. Every district formed a choir and

dancing as well. The Greeks also used songs in their plays. These were performed at festivals
in honour of the god Dionysius."

"Eating before going to bed may lead to nightmares, due to the fact that it triggers an
increase in the body's metabolism and brain activity, which is another potential stimulus for
nightmares. Indeed, sleeping on the left side could compress the chest cavity and thus restrict
the movement of the heart, and it has been known to cause nightmares. Being stressed at
work, insecure or not confiding yourself are also sources of awful dreams.
However, almost everybody has nightmares and to a certain extent we needn’t worry
too much. Statistics have shown the fact that children and teenagers are prone to having
nightmares, while after the age of 25, the number of nightmares decreases.
Thus, watch less horror films, work on your self esteem, chill out, have less fizzy
drinks, stay in touch with your friends and nightmares will vanish into thin air."
