Guide Dogs

Pepsi versus Coke Pepsi is in trouble. For a long time now, it’s been the

now it’s in third place, with Coke and Diet Coke in the number one and
two positions. But PepsiCo (the producer of the famous drink) is
determined to fight back. It plans to spend 30% more on advertising this
year. Some think this might lead to another Cola War (the name given to
the battle between Coke and Pepsi for market dominance in the ‘70s and
‘80s). More worrying for both companies is the fact that US consumers
are spending less on fizzy drinks every year, preferring healthier options
such as fruit juice or tea. (adapted from “hot English magazine” nº 4)

to many popular destinations depending on the season. Air travel is
generally more expensive towards the end of the year, during the
Christmas and holiday season. This is the peak period for travel, and
people often make travel reservations several months in advance. If you
want to avoid peak travel periods, make your travel arrangements during
the off-peak periods. Off-peak periods are a good time to travel as it is
usually quieter and cheaper. Sometimes, you can get air, sea or train
tickets to see many popular tourist attractions in the world for half price!
Many young people try to avoid the crowd when they travel, and they
often prefer to travel off the beaten track. They often have shoestring
budgets and travel by hitch-hiking rather than public transport. They

people and families often have a bigger budget. They usually like to go
on packaged tours and have all of their travel arrangements organized by
the tour operator. Families prefer to book their holidays at a resort, often
near a lake or close to the beach, where there are lots of activities for the
children to enjoy.

the cords which bind bones together . A horse’s ligaments act like a
