     About 130 years ago,Thomas Edison invented thelight bulb. His bulb turned night into day,but today manypeople want to turn off the light.    
     The European Union( 歐盟) has decided that peo-ple should stop using the Edison-style light bulb.Instead, they should use compact fluorescent lamps(CFLs 節(jié)能燈).      
     "CFLs save energy and last longer. They can savemoney in the long run," said a British official.  CFLs use67% less electricity than the older bulbs. Scientists saythat if everyone used CFLs,electricity use would be cutby 18% . There would also be much less greenhouse ga-      
     But it's difficult to make people change their light-ing habits. Firstly,CFLs are more expensive. They cost 8times the prices of the older bulbs. Secondly,many peo-ple don't like the CFL bulb. They find it too bright.      
     CFLs have been around for several years. However,the older lights still make up about 2/3 of total light bulbsales.

     In England, people don't usually talk very much. You can get on a bus or a train, and everyone likes
looking out of the window. Often they read books and papers. But they don't talk much.
     When you meet English people, they often talk about one thing-weather. So  when  you  meet your
friends in England, you can say," Nice weather for the time of this year ! "
    "But it was a little cold yesterday. " Someone may answer.
    "But it got a bit warmer later!" You can say.
     Talk like this, and the English will think," How friendly you are!"
     It is never too hot or too cold for working or living in England. This is because of the sea. It keeps
the country warm in winter and cool in summer. The weather changes very often in England. One can
never has the same kind of weather for a long time. In spring, sunshine and rain follow each other quite
often during the day. So when one goes out, he must never forget to take an umbrella.

And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

     My name is Nicky. I've been a travel writer for twenty years now. It's a really interesting life. I was
only twenty-one when I started traveling. The first country I went to was Mexico. At first, I studied
Spanish for six months in Mexico City. Then I traveled to other parts of Mexico, and all over South
America. My favorite country was Peru. It has everything-great beaches, tall mountains, and forests
with lots of strange and wonderful animals. Brazil is the only South American country I've never visited,
but I'm a great fan of their football team! I hope to watch a football match in Brazil one day.
    What other countries have I been to? Well, I've been to most parts of Asia. I spent three years in
China, and I lived in India for five years. However, I've never been to Japan. My friends tell me it's
really expensive there. I like to spend my time in cheaper countries. At the moment, I'm living in Vietnam.
It's a beautiful country, and the people are very friendly. I've been living here for two years now, and I
love it!
