Experts say the lure of a sunnier climate, combined with adiscontent with home life and the high cost of owning a property inBritain, is causing people to leave in their thousands.Many of these ‘expatriates’ head for countries such as France orSpain, where the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle is a sharpcontrast to the hectic pace in crowded Britain. But some arechoosing far-flung destinations such as America, Australia, and NewZealand.Traditionally, the majority of those who have chosen to liveabroad have been people of retirement age. These people are oftenmore able to afford a foreign home and are likely to have becomefed up with life in Britain, so look to find a place in the sun wherethey can spend their golden years. But some of the new generationof expatriates are younger people, or families, in search of a betterquality of life.However, recent research has found that around 41% of Britonswho moved abroad to start a new life were back in the UK within 12months. Just under a third of people who relocated said they werehappy and planned to stay where they were for the foreseeablefuture, while the rest said they were either still trying to settle in orthat they divided their time between the UK and their new home.The research found that many people who move abroad lookingfor a better quality of life often find their new situation moredifficult than life at home. The main reason people gave forreturning was that they missed family and friends. For some it wasfinancial worries or problems getting a job that drove them home.Others came back to Britain after being unable to overcomelanguage and cultural difficulties.1 Many people leave Britain because the houses are veryexpensive.2 Life in Britain is slower than life in Spain.3 The most popular destinations are America, Australiaand New Zealand.4 Most British people who choose to live abroad areyoung people with families.5 Older people have more money to spend on a foreignhome.6 Most Britons who move abroad come back to Britainwithin a year.7 Many people find their new life abroad causes morestress than their life in Britain.8 Most people came back because they couldn’t find ajob.1 point for each correct answerNew Headway Upper-Intermediate – the third edition Oxford University PressPHOTOCOPIABLEUNIT 187

NAME:11 Read the text. Are the statements are true (T) or false (F)?Every day Peru’s Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, isrediscovered by at least 1,000 tourists who are slowlydestroying one of the wonders of the world. More people nowcome to this sacred citadel in a week than ever lived there in its15th-century prime. The attempt to improve facilities forinternational visitors – better hotels, a helicopter service, and aplanned cable car to replace the bus trip up the mountain – hasonly made the wear and tear worse.For nearly 500 years Machu Picchu was covered byimpenetrable rainforests until in 1911, an American scholarexplorer, Hiram Bingham, stumbled upon it whilst he waslooking for Vilacamba, the last refuge of the Incas from theSpanish conquerors.It’s easy to see why so many want to flock here.
