6. PRONOUNS AND POSSESSIVES
Personal subject pronouns go before the verb:
I stayed at home.
/
You need another blanket.
He wants to buy a new car.
/
She is studying Catalan.
It barks a lot. (It is used to refer to things, animals and the weather: It is raining.)
We never eat garlic.
/
You read a lot.
They are good friends.
However, we place the auxiliary verb before subject pronouns in questions:
Can you help me?
/ Has she got the comic?
/ Does he write very often?
Personal object pronouns come after verbs and prepositions:
She loves me. / We sent you a letter.
We went with him.
/ He adores her.
I saw it with my own eyes. / They have just invited us to their wedding.
Margaret believes in you.
/
We don't like them.
A possessive adjective is followed by a noun:
This is my van.
/ Your lorry is very big.
His house is enormous.
Its wing is broken. /
/ Her face is beautiful.
Our engagement will be announced tomorrow.
Your son is very clever.
/ Their work was excellent.
A possessive pronoun is not followed by a noun, that is, it stands alone:
This book is mine.
/
This pencil case is yours.
Mary is a relative of his.
Ours need watering.
/
I've found hers.
/ Yours are bigger than mine.
These are your notebooks and those are theirs.

ST. VALENTINE'S DAY STORY
Every February, across the world, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged
between lovers and friends, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this
mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of
Valentine's Day is immersed in mystery. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it
today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
Valentine, a priest, lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome
was governed by an emperor named Claudius; he wanted to have a big army.
He expected young men to volunteer to the army. Many men just did not want
the war. They did not want to leave their wives and families. Not many men
signed up. This made Claudius furious. He had a crazy idea. He thought that if
men continued single, they would not have excuse to be soldiers. So Claudius
decided not to permit any more marriages. Young people qualified his new law
as cruel. Valentine thought it was preposterous! He certainly didn´ t support
that law!
As priest? One of Valentine´ s favorite activities was to marry couples. Even
after Emperor Claudius passed his law, he continued on celebrating marriage
ceremonies -- secretly, of course. One night, they heard footsteps. It was
scary! The couple he was marrying escaped in time. Valentine was caught. He
was put in jail and told that his punishment was death.
Many young people came to the jail to visit him. They threw flowers and notes
up to his window. They wanted him to know that they, too, believed in love.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father
allowed her to visit him in the cell. Sometimes they would sit and talk for
hours. She helped him to keep his spirits up. She agreed that he did the right
thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On
the day he was to die, he left his friend a card thanking her for her friendship
and loyalty. He signed it, "Love from your Valentine." Valentine was in love
about her.
It´ s believed that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on
Valentine's Day. It was written on the day he died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now,
every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think
about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they
remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because
they know that love can't be beaten!
While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February
to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial — which
probably occurred around 270 A.D — others claim that the Christian church
may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February
in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In
ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered
a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleaned by sweeping them out and
then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat throughout their interiors. Lupercalia
festival celebrated on February 15th was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus,
the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and
Remus.

My Love of Traveling by Sam Harris
I grew up in Australia and was introduced to traveling at an early age. We moved around a
lot because of my father’s work. My main hobby was radios - I repaired old sets and
listened to various programs from around the world. I had a map of the world on my
bedroom wall with pins on it and I wrote postcards to foreign radio stations. I was an only
child and I didn’t have many friends; instead I tried to contact the outside world. We didn’t
have a television, so what I learned came from the radio and from encyclopedias. By the
age of 13, I could draw maps of countries from memory and name all the capital cities.
I didn’t actually leave Australia until I was twenty-five, when I went on a long trip through
Asia. I arrived in Thailand thinking I was well prepared, but in fact, I knew little about its
rich culture. Then I went to India, where my taste for adventure and different experiences
grew. Every city there was different; there were cows on the streets, old cars, interesting
food, and people everywhere.
I went from country to country without realizing how dangerous some of them were at
that time. There was very little advice available. But now it’s different - you can learn so
much from the internet and just about everywhere you go, you’ll find an internet café. It’s
really changed the way people travel.
The things I now like most about a trip are eating and shopping. I also love sitting on
trains and talking to different people. I’m sure I’ll never get bored with traveling, even
though I’ve explored most countries in the world.

What are Cognates?
The "convertible" English to Spanish words are known as cognates. Words in both
languages which share the same Latin root and which are visibly and often audibly very
similar. It is important to bear in mind that these cognates do not always translate from one
language to another and are known as 'false cognates'.
For example: "inferior" in Spanish may be used to refer to a subordinate in the work place,
without carrying any of the derogatory meaning in the English usage. In Spanish, "informal"
means unreliable rather than "casual". A very common one is "embarrassed" which by no
means translates to "embarazada" whose true meaning is to be pregnant.
In spite of these 'false cognates', there are thousands of English words which can be
converted into Spanish along with much of their English meaning (especially the literal) by
following a few simple rules.
Most words ending in TION in English end in CIÓ N in Spanish.

SKIMMING AND SCANNING
WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong's food, by 2050, a
new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose. The report recommends building
sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations. Published by the World Wide Fund for
Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses
the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050 about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it supports, with
tropical and sub-tropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising in the west where currently
the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by increased
evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice. The growing season also is expected to alter,
becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland's breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that
plants could adapt.
"China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be decreased
production because of water limitations," Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the authors of the report, said during a brief visit to
the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the population - particularly if it grows and the diminished productivity of the land. "It looks very difficult for the world as a whole" he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which release gases that
trap heat in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased this century by about 0.6 degrees Celsius and
are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.
Dr. Leemans said China's reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the world climate.
"I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the environmental powers, and (greenhouse
gas emissions) could accelerate," Dr. Leemans said. "China is not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying
to incorporate this kind of research to see what is going to happen."
The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr David Melville of WWF-Hong
Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. Food supplies, for instance, could be affected
by lower crop yields. "Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type
of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as well," he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers
melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which
is built on reclaimed land. Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimeters by 2100,
depending on whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not only on Chek
Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation - the whole lot," Mr Melville
said, adding that sea-walls would be needed. Depleted fresh water supplies would be another problem because increased
evaporation would reduce levels. Mr Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less
wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He also called on the West to help China improve
its efficiency.

Ballyhoo castle was built in the 8th century by King Wally IV. It has had a long and turbulent
history since then. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1158. It was rebuilt over the next century by
the Duke of Westhumberland. It has been conquered by both the French and the Scots. In the
Second World War it was bombed two years in a row by the Germans. Firstly, in 1940, its occupants
were fortunate - they had been evacuated by the British army before the bombs fell. The following
year they were not so lucky - they were being evacuated by the local fire brigade when the first
planes arrived and 30 people were killed by the bombs. In 1999 it was bought by the World Heritage
Organisation. One wing is now used by them as their European headquarters. The other wing is
currently being restored by experts. It will be opened to the public by the Queen in 2002.
