The meaning of a kiss depends on where you are. A kiss means “I love you” in many countries. In some countries, a kiss can be friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South Americans and Europeans say hello with kisses much more often than North Americans. They also sometimes say goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then “blowing” the kiss away. In these regions, men at business meeting even greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, instead of a handshake.

Then there are beliefs that kissing has a special meaning. In ancient Rome, the groom at a wedding must kiss the bride as a legal agreement. And did your mother ever kiss your hurt finger to make the pain stop? English used to think that kisses have magical powers.

Not everyone in the world kisses though. Eskimos couples rubbed their noses together, and so did some African tribes and Pacific Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite their loved one’s cheek.

These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to international travel and sharing customs, that meaning has become universal.

          One of my favourite things to do in my free time is snow skiing, and I have recently started snowboarding as well. Fortunately, there are about five ski resorts near my hometown, so there are plenty of places to ski. In order to ski, you need some basic equipment including snow skis, ski poles, ski boots, goggles, and some warm ski clothing. I purchased my equipment last year after the season was over when everything was on sale. Recently, I’ve decided to take up snowboarding, but it's taking a little time to get the hang of it. Snowboarding is becoming more and more popular now that itis an Olympic event.

Types of film

Adventure

Do you like thrilling stories that take you to wondrous places? They are similar to action films but the action may be less and more weight will be given to experiences.

Crime and Gangster Films

Such films trace the lives of fictional and true criminals, gangs or mobsters. Serial killer films may be included here.

Drama films

They are sensible movies with a strong plot. Dramas depict true stories or real-like situations. The character development is not-worthy.

Musicals/Dance films

These are entertaining films that are based on full scale scores or song and dance. They can either be delightful, light-hearted films for the whole family (i.e. The Sound of Music) or contain a dark aspect (Sweeney Todd) that is explored through music.

IV. Read the following passage and then decide whether the sentences are true or false according to the passage

Our planet Earth is one of nine planets revolving around the sun, a fairly small and ordinary star, which lies in the outer areas of the Milky Way Galaxy. There are about 250 billion stars in our galaxy, and billions of galaxy in universe. People have always wondered about the possibility of intelligent life forms on other planets. In recent years, this has become serious scientific speculation. Some scientists believe that there must be large numbers of stars with planets which could support living intelligent beings. Perhaps we shall never know. The nearest star is 4.3 light years away. A light year is the distance covered by light (travelling al almost 300,000 kilometers a second), in one year. It would take the fastest Earth spacecraft about 40,000 years to reach the nearest star. For a number of years radio telescopes have been trying to pick up signals from outer space, so far without success. There are, however, millions of possible radio frequencies, and there is no reason why a completely alien civilization should not use a different type of communication, such as X-rays or even a type of wave we have not yet discovered. Suppose contacts were made with beings 300 light years away. By the lime we had sent our reply, and received their response the earth would be 600 years older. It would be an interesting, but rather slow moving conversation!

1. Nine planets but the Earth move around the sun.

2. Scientists doubt if there is intelligent life on other planets.

3. It wouldn’t be possible for the very person who sent a message to even the nearest star to receive a reply from it.

4. The universe is immense.

5. We still haven’t received any signals from outer space.
