In 2005 there were campaigns on the subject of poverty in more than 89 different nations, and they all had the same demand: that the governments of the world’s richest and most powerfull countries must start doing more to help the poorest countries, particularly those in Africa The name of the campaign in the UK and Ireland was “Make Poverty History’ (MPH), white in the US is was ‘ONE’. Charities and religious groups were envolved, along with a large number of celebrities - for example, in the US, the actors Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks, and in the UK. and Ireland, Bono (the lead singer of U2) and Bob Geldof (a former pop star who has become well-known activist on the subject of global poverty). There were programmes about MPH on TV. Many thousands of people wore white wristhands to show that they supported the campaign, and in early July there was a couple of very big MPH events: ‘march by more than 200,000 people in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and the “Live 8° pop concert in London’s Hyde Park, featuring stars like Robbie Williams and Madonna. ‘The MPH organizers ‘wanted the march and the concert to take place at about the same time as the “G8” summit ~ a meeting in Scotland, from the 6th to the 8th of July, between the leaders of eight of the world’s most powerful countries (including the US and the UK). The G8 leaders were due to make some important decisions, and MPH wanted them to grant its three main demands: fairer rules for trade between rich and poor countries, the cancellation of the debts owed by the poorest countries, and an increase in development aid. The result of the summit was quite positive -aid increased, and the G8 cancelled the debts of the poorest eighteen African countries- but United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan commented that “the fight to end poverty is just starting’. The MPH movement emphasizes that more still needs to be done, particularly because, in the words of its website,’the gap between the world’s rich and poor has never been wider.” 1 VOCABULARY.

During my first year at university I did very little studying .I felt university was my reward for the hard work I had done at scheol, so I chatted with my friends, did sport, and enjoyed myself. Then . a month before my exams, I started to study. I was at my desk by eight in the morning and stayed there, apart from a short break for lunch, until seven in the evening. You can imagine what happened! After three days I was exhausted and still learning very little. Fortunately, a friend stepped in: “Only study for an hour at a time. You start at, say, nine o'clock, and you aim to study as much as possible in sixty minutes. At ten you stop. You get up, go out, get some fresh air. At 10.20 you start again and study as much as you can until 11.20. Then you have another short rest. And so on.....” This is excellent advice.
