MEET LETICIA MARQUES. She works as a financial manager for a

Swedish automotive company in Curitiba, Brazil, where she was born
and raised. She is single and lives with her parents. " I use English
every day," Ms. Marques says. "We use it in most of our e-mails
and meetings and for calls to Sweden, the U.S., and France." In
her free time, she likes to watch DVDs in English. "It's good for my
pronunciation," she says.
THIS IS YuAN YoNG )lNG, his wife, Zheng Yang, and their son, Yuan
Bao. They live in Beijing, China. Mr. Yuan, a manager, is originally
from Weihai, a small seaside city in Shandong Province. His wife is
a teacher, and their son is a middle-school student. "Our company
provides tour guides to foreign businesspeople who visit China, so
English is very important for my work," he says. At home, Mr. Yuan
enjoys watching English-language TV and listening to English-
language radio.
MEET MARcus STOLZE, an information technology researcher.

Mr. Stolze lives with his wife, Therese, and children, Lena and jan, in
Ri.iti, a small town in Switzerland. Mr. Stolze is originally from Brilon,
Germany. Therese is an English teacher and speaks four languages.
Their children are also multilingual. "At work, we use English a lot
because we communicate with people who speak m any different
languages," he says. "Also, most good books on computing are in
English," he adds.

What are your musical tastes?

..,.. My favorite genre is alternative pop. I love live concerts. I once saw
Performers and Foo Fighters live in New York:They were awesome. I also
like to listen to music when I travel. I just load my mini MP3 player with
lots of songs and carry it with me. At home, I like the music channels on
1V. I also enjoy music videos and often search for them on the Internet.
OamirRudic
Systems administrator, IT, Banja Luka City, Bosnia and Herzegovina
..,.. I'm a big music fan. I'm into all kinds of

music-pop, folk, classical-you name it.
When I'm really stressed out, classical music
helps me relax. I also like to play "oldies" and
sing along really loud! In the past, I collected
CDs, but now I just buy songs on the Internet.
It's really convenient because you don't have
to change CDs! I just download the files onto
my MP3 player.
Moon-Jeong Curie Lim

Marketing manager, Seoul, Korea
..,. I listen to music on my commute and at home after work. I've got
plenty of time to listen because I listen while I do other things, like
reading, checking e-mail, or hanging out w ith friends. I love to see pop
bands live, but sometimes I prefer CDs becau_se the sound quality is
better. I download music and I pay about one U.S. dollar per song, but
even at that price I could never buy all the music I want to listen to!

Mark Zupan
A terrible accident in 1993 made Mark Zupan a
quadriplegic and changed his life forever. He cannot
move his arms or legs normally, and he has to take
medication so his legs don't shake. However, after a
lot of hard work, he can now use his arms to move his
wheelchair, and he can even stand for a short time and
take a few slow steps. Zupan-<>r Zup to his friends-
plays quad rugby-a sport for people in wheelchairs.
He's a quad rugby champion, winning a gold medal in
the 2008 Paralympic Games. "I dream about running
all the time," he says, "but you can't live in the past."
Today, Zupan gives talks and raises money for his
sport. Anyone who spends time with him forgets that
he's in a wheelchair. He lifts weights at the gym every Bethany Hamilton
day, drives a car, and goes to music concerts."A lot of
people think quadriplegics can't do anything," he says. • Surfer Bethany Hamilton had a dream. She wanted
To stay in shape, Zupan is careful about his diet and to be a champion in her sport. But in 2003, she lost her
avoids unhealthy and fatty foods. "Just think of me as a left arm when she was attacked by a shark in Hawaii.
human being and an athlete. Because that's who I am." Three weeks later, she was surfing again. Because she
can only use one arm, she has to use her legs more
to help her go in the right direction. She's a strong
competitive surfer, winning first place in 2005 in the
NSSA National Championships. She appears on 1V
and writes books about her experience.
Hamilton wants to help other
people follow their dreams, even
when they face great difficulties.
"People can do whatever they
want if theyjust set their hearts
to it, and just never give up ...
Just go out there and
do it," she says.
Hamilton was
attacked by a tiger
shark in 2003.

Hello\ Traveling to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania next week and 1 need

some info on clothing do's and don'ts. I 'm in Holland right now where
the dress code is pretty liberal, more liberal than where 1 come from
in Germany. The attitude is "anything goes," and they wear some
pretty wild things here! How strict are the "rules" there?
Hi,
I goTravelin'Girl,
there quite a bit, and my general rule of thumb for East Africa
is to keep your shoulders covered and to wear below-the- knee pants
or skirts-no sleeveless shirts or tank tops. The culture is pretty
conservative, and women dress modestly. Don't show too much skin.
1--------------------------------·-··-------·-··- ·- -··-------·
OK, Jillian25. But it's incredibly hot and humid there, just about all
posted by:
year round. Travelin'Girl should pack for the heat: cotton blouses
(in light colors); casual, comfortable, light pants; sandals. She didn' t
say-is this a business trip or pleasure?
1-------·----·-·--- ------------------------··- ··-- --------'

A mix of both-a little business in Dar (with my husband), then a
quick safari to see the animals. Then 1 plan on spending at least one
weekend at the beach. What's the story there?
There really are no hard and fast rules, but in tourist areas like
beaches, it's more informal and relaxed, and most modest clothing is
OK. A bathing suit's fine at the beach, as long as it's not too revealing.
But in general, in towns near the coast, the rules are stricter and it's
inappropriate to wear shorts or miniskirts, so carry a piece of cotton
cloth that you can fix easily a-~~~-

/ Get the Best Exchange Rate

Before you travel to another country, check the
exchange rate of your currency against the
currency of the foreign country you're visiting.
During your trip, you'll get the best rate if you
buy foreign currency with an ATM card or a
credit card.
However, if you have to exchange cash,

the best rates are usually at banks and
post offices.
When possible, use a credit card for larger expenses such as hotel bills,
tickets, and car rentals. But be careful-many credit card companies
now add fees for these transactions. Use an ATM card for your daily
cash needs. But check with your bank ~;;;:=:-----------

Good deals Bad deals
She got a great deal. He got a bad deal.

She saved a lot of money. He paid too much money.
It was a real bargain. It was a total rip-off.
B Discussion Read about two shopping experiences. Do you think either

of the people got a good deal? Use the Vocabulary.
I was in Saudi Arabia on business, and I wanted to buy a rug. I

found a beautiful one, but the asking price was too high: US $900.
I said I could go as high as $350. We bargained for a long time,
but the merchant wouldn't come down in price. Finally, we shook
hands. When I turned to leave the store, he was very surprised. I
thought the handshake meant "Sorry. That's too low." But it really
meant "It's a deal." So I went back in and bought it.
When I was in Shanghai, I decided to look for some antique

pottery. I found a beautiful blue and white vase from the sixteenth-
century Ming Dynasty. We bargained about the price, and the
salesperson came way down for me. So of course I bought it. It was
more than I wanted to spend, but I really liked it. Later, a friend
told me that the "antiques" in these shops aren't really antiques-
they're actually new!
