Today more and more people are travelling to the four corners of the globe and bringing back a variety of interesting souvenirs. Where are they made and what are they made of? Here are just a few of your favorite selections.
Mary. Boston, USA “My favorite souvenir is a model elephant. I brought it back from Thailand. It’s very beautiful and it’s made of wood. They are designed by the villagers and are sold by stall holders all over Thailand. It was only 50 cents, so it was a real bargain. Unfortunately, they aren’t designed as toys and my son broke it while he was playing with it. Hopefully, I’ll go back to Thailand one day and buy another one”
Ron. Warsaw, Poland “My mom got me this horrible teapot from the UK! It has the Union Jack flag on it and it’s made of china. When you take the lid off, it plays the British national anthem―it sounds terrible! Also, I don’t even like tea. The problem is, I can’t throw it away because my mom gave it to me as a gift and it cost $30―not exactly a bargain!”
Jan. Stockholm, Sweden “My husband went on a business trip to a town called Itu in Brazil last summer. It’s famous for “big things” ―there is a 4m high phone booth in the main square, for example! My husband brought back two huge key rings. They are made by a local man and they aren’t sold in other cities in Brazil. It was a fun gift to receive, but pretty useless―it’s too bug to use!”
ENGLISH IV UNIT 3^ THE PERFECT SOUVENIR?
1.- Which country do you think the food comes from? 2.- What kind of fast food do you like? 3.- Why do you think this type of food is popular?
Which quick-service restaurant chain has more than 26.000 restaurants in 119 countries, has a clown as its symbol and virtually invented the idea of fast food? You probably guessed it: McDonald’s. The classic McDonald’s meal is a hamburger with French fries and a drink. McDonald’s hamburgers are made from 100% pure beef, which is cooked on a grill and served in a bun with onion, ketchup, mustard and dill pickles. Millions of hamburgers are sold by the company every month. Mac and Dick McDonald created the concept of quick service at their restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
They also invented the idea of specialization ―one person cooked the hamburgers, another made milkshakes, and other put mayonnaise on the buns. But the biggest innovation was to have the food prepared and waiting, so customers could place and order and immediately collect it.
The food was good and cheap and business exploded. Parents felt confident in taking their families because they could expect cleanliness and food of a certain quality, and their children enjoyed going because of the clowns and toys.
The business grew, and by the mid – 1950s, the original restaurant was making $350.000 a year. Then, in 1954, Ray Kroc, and electric-mixer salesman, visited the restaurant. Inn 1955, he opened a second McDonald’s restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois. He persuaded the brothers to open several other restaurants in other cities. Four years later, he opened the 100th^ restaurant in Chicago. In 1961, Kroc bought all rights to the McDonald’s concept from the McDonald brothers for $2.7 million. He was looking forward to facing the challenge of his life.

Grammar Tip! Active Passive There are two main reasons for using the passive: We often don’t know the agent of a passive sentence, or it is not important. Thousands of credit cards are stolen every year, and a lot of money is lost as a result.
If we know the agent and it is important, we can specify the agent by using by. However, the receiver of the action (the subject of the passive sentence) is more important. Millions of hamburgers are sold by fast-food restaurants every year, and a lot of money is made by the companies.

____ Border
____ Hijacker 3. An event causing great and often sudden damage or distress, a disaster.

____ Target 5. The action of buying and selling goods and services.

Remember: We use the Passive Voice when we are more interested in the action than in the person or thing that did the action and when the person who does the action is not important or is unknown.
In the past, the passive voice uses “was” and “were” + a verb in past participle (Third column) Johnny’s car was stolen.
The passive voice past is often used to describe: Events in history: The Twin Towers were destroyed on September 11th. Crimes / Accidents: A young boy was killed in a shooting last night. As well as In many other situations when the person who did the action is unknown or unimportant.
