The litle girl says, ‘I have a question.’ ‘What is it?’ asks her father. "When you're driving, are YOU ever the stupid idiot?” Why do we laugh at these jokes? Is it because we recognise some truth in them? A lot of people seem to think that men and women do display quite different characteristics when it comes to driving, and in general, both male and female drivers tend to be quite critical of the opposite sex. ‘Men are too confident in their own abilities. They never listen, they never need a map. They're always sure they know the way,’ says Cathy, whose husband rarely lets her drive the car. ‘They tend to drive too close to the car in front and they're incredibly Impatient. If there's a car in front they have to pass it even if it doesn't make a difference to their overall speed. | think it’s some sort of territorial thing - you know, they have to be king of the road and everybody else on the road is an idiot.” Danielle, a businesswoman who drives a BMW, agrees: ‘Men never indicate before they turn left and ‘they tend to brake at the very last minute. if I'm in a car with a man, | often feel quite nervous. 1'¢ much rather be driven by a woman.” It seems as if insurance companies would agree. Apparently, whilst the number of accidents men and women have tend to be about equal, the accidents which involve women are generally relatively minor land they are therefore less expensive to insure. In contrast, men tend to have more serious accidents, and the worst offenders are young men, aged between eighteen and twenty-five, What do men think about women? Interestingly, fone of their main concerns is about women as passengers: ‘Women passengers can’t keep quiet, says Paul, a retired architect. "You know: “You're going too fast’, “Can you see that pedestrian?”, “Didn't you see that traffic light?” or “I feel sick. Can't you go straight?” There's always some comment.’ Pete agrees: ‘And women are hopeless with directions. | think it's because they're nervous about going to new places. | reckon men are better at finding new places and women are better at finding places they've been to before.” Certainly it seems to be the case that if a man fails to follow directions it's because his female passenger did not convey them properly. But what about women's driving? Pete again: ‘My girlfriend has some strange habits, like switching on the windscreen wipers as a signal that she intends to turn right. Then she gets annoyed when she's driving and I ‘brake’ ~ you know, put my foot down as if I'm braking ~ when she's going round corners. | mean, one of us has to!” Despite men’s generally high opinion of their own driving skils, a report published in 2004 came down firmly in favour of women drivers. According to the report, women score more highly than men on almost all counts.

Our expert tells you how applying feng shui in the kitchen and | ‘A Do you want to be sure that your dinner dining room can help. |B Feng shui is a way of creating harmony | between humans and our environment to enhance our well-being. An ancient Chinese theory of design and placement, feng shui grew from observations that people are affected positively or negatively by their surroundings, with some places. being | noticeably Tucker, happier, healthier or more peaceful than others. The Chinese believe that everything that exists has ‘qi (universal energy) and, in turn, everything that has ‘qi’ has ‘yin’ (passive feminine) qualities and ‘yang’ (active, masculine) qualities ‘Yin’ and ‘yang’ are opposites and complementary - one cannot exist without the other, When we feel good about a place the Chinese would say it has good feng shui because the ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ are balanced © So how does this affect your dinner party? Well, let’s look at the dining room first. The Chinese believe you should not be distracted from the food or | company during a meal because eating feeds both the body and spirit, So don't make your dining room décor too eye catching, If the dining table is too near the front door it is said that people will be | preoccupied with what is going on outside, and that guests will eat and run. If attached to the living room or kitchen, make your dining room a separate space by using plants or screens to block distractions. Two doorways will let ‘qi’ flow n and out, but if there's only one, allow enough space around it for easy access. * Chairs should be comfortable so diners take their time to eat, digest well, and communicate with each other. | * Ideally, chairs should have good back rests and arms, and should be placed with their backs to the wall rather than to the windows and doors. because even numbers represent luck Ne Vol Mines mee ticel a1 NV and single chairs loneliness. Add an extra chair if you have an uneven umber. * Around table is best. The next choice is octagonal, and if you have a square or rectangular table make sure no one gets a corner! The negative ‘sha qi’ could cause digestive problems or bad temper. D_ OF course, it is also important to consider the place where the food is prepared. The kitchen is regarded as the source of general well-being by the Chinese because food represents wealth. If you prepare food in a kitchen with good feng shui, the people who eat it will carry the benefits throughout the day. Your kitchen is best placed to one side of your house - preferably on the south or southeastern side in the northern hemisphere and the — north or northeastern side in the southern hemisphere - not in the centre, which is associated with the earth element. The balance of ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ is vital here, where the two major elements are water (‘yin’) and fire (‘yang’). Your kitchen should be light and airy with little clutter. You will find that indoor plants, window boxes or small shrubs outside the window will help it stay cool E The area around the kitchen door or directly opposite it is known as the area of disturbed ‘qi’ and is not a good place to put we cooker. Rather, place it where there is assembled ‘qi’ - diagonally across from the door - but do not place it under a window or skylight, because the energy will quickly leave the house. You should also position it so that your back is not to the door while cooking, otherwise you may be surprised by someone coming up behind you and this could affect the food. If you can’t see a door, install a mirror behind the cooker, to give you plenty of warning and to help the flow of ‘qi F So now it's time to start reorganising your home.

They say everyone has at least one book inside them. But is it true? Could we all turn our hands to writing blockbusters for a living? Debut novelist Claudia Pattison shares her secrets for literary success. Claudia Pattison, author of Wow! and Fame Game, believes we all have potential. And she should know. Claudia wrote Wow! — a satire on the world of celebrity journalism — in eight months, and was taken on by the second agent she met. Her very first book sparked a manic bidding war between rival publishers, and its @ sign of her potential that the winners, Pen Macmillan, offered a sitfigure sum for a two-book deal ~ the average a debut author can usually expect is between £5,000 and £10,000. “really believe that everybody has @ book in them,’ says Claudia, who describes her genre as ‘chick lit’ - stories aimed at young women. ‘I think the hardest thing is starting. You don't have to have a mad life or incredible experiences. You just need to be able to make different scenarios interesting Claudia’ tips on how to write a novel ‘and getit published: 1 Claudia says: “I knew chick lit was @ growing arena and there was room in the market for more of the same, so | devoured every bit of it could get my hands on. also knew, however, that | couldn't just jump on the bandwagon; | needed to have a new spin. The obvious thing for me, with my background, was to write about celebrity journalism. If it all sounds very calculated, that’s because it was. | thought about what would sell, ‘and what would stand outin a crowd.” 2 Evenif you're not sure whatthe plotis going to be or what comes next, just get something written down, Claudia says: What put me off originally was the idea that | had to have a clever plot If you can just do good scenarios and interesting relationships, you're wollon your way.” 3 If people aren't grabbed by the first page, they won't go any further. a Claudia says: Some people don't ‘Soaaacanweeure’™6 Beles. waeanaaaeeg|Stephen King for one), but | think 1 would have found the whole task too daunting without one. | would've panicked.” venif its just three lines, ithelps you keep in touch with the characters and the plot 8 “ry to think of something original and think hard about it. Don't do it as an afterthought 7 Claudia says: ‘Look in the Writers” and Artists’ Yearbook for brief sxplanations of specialities. Also, ry to find a book that you lke or feel is similar to yours. Many writers thank heir agents so you can find relevant gents that way.’ There's no point in :argeting your crime book at an agent sino specialises in romantic fiction. isa Jowell, author of Ralphs Party, went through nine agents before the tenth saw her potential. Harry Potter wwiter JK Rowling was turned down 2y two publishers before Bloomsbury snapped her up, Says Claudia, If you expect it, you won't be disappointed. Just keep trying. Obviously, though, it you get twenty rejections all telling you there's no market for your book, you do have to take note.” 3 - i you do get to the stage where you have an agent or an editor, listen to their advice, They have @ wider overview of the market and the insider gossip on what people are looking for. They are the experts in their field. ‘I followed every bit of advice,’ seys Claudia. ‘I think the book ‘sone million times better as @ result” $$ Improve your writing Describing a book you have enjoyed 1 1 a The three circles below contain useful vocabulary for writing about a book.

Teide, a voleano in the centre of the island, and offically the second largest mountain in Europe ‘We hired a litte car for the day ~ I couldn't drive, but my brother could, José and I set off in brillant sunshine, but before long It got ‘much colder and by the time we reached the crater of Mt. Telde ‘tos snowing, What is more, all the restaurants, hotels and ‘petol stations atthe top of the volcano were shut, and we had ‘almost run out of pettol.

We were very lucky that the rest of the car didn’t go over. We sat in the car for about half an hour, not daring to move and freezing cold, waiting for someone to come past. Then suddenly a car ‘came round the corner and out jumped three enormous men. Without saying a word, the three men surrounded the car and literally lifted it back on the road. My brother and I got out to ‘thank them, but the three men lust repeated ‘Norway’ several 98 times - we assumed that that was where they came from ~ then got back into their car and drove off. With great relief, ‘we got back into our car and continued down the side of the ‘mountain.
