The place is perfect, the weather is wonderful, but ifyou're with the wrong person, a vacation can be a disaster Joe 28, a flight attendant

Last October, I went on vacation to Thailand for two weeks with my girlfriend, Mia

The vacation began well We spent two days in Bangkok and saw the Floating Market and the Royal Pala ce But things went wrong when we left Bangkok I wanted to stay in hostels, which were basic but clean, but Mia said they were too uncomfortable So we stayed in very expensive hotels I wanted to experience the local atmosphere, but Mia just wanted to

go shopping.1 thought I knew Mia well, but you don't know a persa n until you travel with him or her.lt was awful! We argued about everything For our last four days we went to Ko Chang, a beautiful istand It was like being in paradise The weather was beautiful and the beaches w ere wonderful, but we just sunbathed without speaking We spent our last night back in Bangkok, and we met some travelers from Australia They were really friendly, and Mia started flirting with one of the boys That was the end

Laura 26, a nurse Last spring, my best friend Isabelle and

I booked a vacation in Costa Rica We rented

" l' d love to 90 back

to Costa Rica one day but without Linda "

a small house for a week with a fantastic view

of the ocean At the last minute another friend, Linda, asked if she could come, too We felt sorry for her because she had problems with her boyfriend, so we said yeso

Costa Rica was magical and the weather was perfect, but the vacation was

a disaster for one simple reason: linda w as so cheap! 5he has a good job so she's not poor, but she just didn't want to pay for anything When we went

sightseeing, she didn't want to go on any cruises or do any nature activities that cost money When we went on a zipline tour, she complained that it was too expensive When we went to have lunch or dinner, she always wanted to go to cheap restaurants

or she bought a sand wich and ate it in the house But the night

I invited her and Isabel le out on my birthday, she chose the most expensive things on the menu! The worst thing was that although Isabelle and I paid for the house,linda never once bought us a coffee or a snack

I'd lave to go back to Costa Rica one day but without Linda

T he first time 1 noticed this phenomenon was a few years

ago, in Sto Peter's Basilica in Rome - a crowd of people

standing around Michelangelo's Pieta, taking photos with

their cameras and cell p h ones Th en last week 1 saw it again

at the Museum of Modern A r t (the MOMA) in New York City

At first , 1 wasn't too worried when 1 saw people photographing

the paintings It was a Iiule irritating , but that was all It didn't

make me angry Then the sad t ruth h it me Most of the people

were tak i ng pho t os without looking at the paintings themse l ves

People were pushing me, not because t h ey were try i ng to get

a better view ofthe art, but because they wanted to make sure

that no one blocked their photo Was ir possib l e thar maybe they

were tak i ng the photos so t h at they could admire the paintings

better when t h ey got home? This was very improbable They

were not there to see the paintings, but to take photos to prove

that they had been th ere

Then ir got worse Now people were t aking p h otos oftheir

partners or fr i ends who were posing next to, or i n front of sorne

o f the most famous paintings Neither the photographers nor

the person they were photographing had looked at the art itself ,

although 1 saw that sometimes t h ey read t h e label , to make sure

that the art i st really was famous At least nobody as k ed me to

take a p i cture of them together, sm i ling i n front of a Picasso!

1 think t h at photography in museums should be banned , but 1

also have a less drastic solurio n 1 think that people who want to

take a photo of an exhibit should be forced to look at it first, for

at least one minute

E veryone knows the English language is changing

Every three months, the DED (Dxford English Dictionary) publishes updates to its online dictionary Dne recent update contained 900 new words, new

expressions, or new meanings for existing words But

where do they all come from7

New words are created in many different ways We can make a new word by combining two words, like gastropub (gastronomy + pub) or emoticon (emotion + icon)

Sometime s we put two words together in a new w ay, for example, road rage or boy toy

We also find that nouns can change into verbs Take the word texto Text was always a noun (from about 1369, according to the DED), but it is no w very common as a verb, to text somebody Dther new words already existed, but with a different meaning For example, tweet was the noise that a bird makes, but now we use it more often (as a verb or a noun) for a message that people put on the social networking site Twitter

Another way in which we make new words i s by

"adopting" words from foreign languages, like barista or latte (imported from Italian when coffee shops beca me really popular in the US in the 1990 s )

A lot of new words come from the name s of brands or companies, for example , we play mu s ic on an iPod and we google information We also need more general wo rd s to describe new technology or new gadget s : Wi-Fi, ringtone, and smartphone are s ome recent example s

The invention of new words is not a new phenomenon The word brunch (breakfast + lunch) fir st appeared in

1896, newspaper (news + paper) in 1667, and Engli s h

s peaker s started to use the word cafe (from French) in

the late 19th century The difference now is ho w quickly new words and expressions enter the language and how quickly we start to u se and understand them

WHAT DIO YOU !3:M

DO ON THE WEEKEND?

The next ti me a friend or co-worker tells you about

their amazi n g weekend, wait a m inute befo re you

start feel ing jealous - maybe t hey are inventing it all!

A su r ve y of 5,000 adults has shown that one person i n

four i n vents deta i ls about their weekend beca use they

want to imp r ess their f r iends When they a r e asked,

"Did you have a good weekend?" they don't l i ke to say that

5 they just stayed at home and watched T V beca use it sounds

boring So they invent the detai l s The most common lie t hat

people tald was "1 went o u t o n Satu r day night," when really

they didn't go anywhere Othe r common lies were "1 had a

roman ti c dinner , " "1 went to a party , " and "1 went away for

10 the weekend,"

In fact, in the survey, 30% o people who answe red the

questions sa i d that they spent their weekend sleeping or

resting because they we r e so ti r ed at the end of the week

Ano t her 30% said that t hey needed to work or st udy on

15 the week e d Psychologist Corinne Sweet says that people

often don't tell the truth about t heir weekend "beca use we

don't want to feel t hat everyone else is hav i ng a better time

than us, if we have had a boring weekend doing housework,

paperwork, or just resting after a tiri n g week at work " She also

2 0 believes that netwo r king sites s u ch as Facebook and Twitter

may be encouraging us to invent details about our social l ives

"People can create an illusion of who they wa n t to be and the

life they want to live," says Co r inne, " and of course they want

that life to seem exciting."
