(1)…… Ancient Greece was the first civilization to make a systematic study on subjects like geometry, medicine and philosophy.

Life then in Athens and other Greek cities was good. The citizens were free to say and do as they liked. Most of the people were farmers who grew crops like barley,

wheat, grapes and olives. Some of them also reared sheep and goats on their farms. Other people were craftsmen producing metal work, pottery, tiles or woollen textiles.

(2) ........ The typical rich man lived in a huge stone mansion with a courtyard. The women normally looked after the household. Usually, these families had dozens of

slaves to do the household chores. Contrary to the freedom which the Greeks had, the slaves had absolutely no rights whatsoever. (3 )........With the slaves doing all the work, the rich Greek citizens had plenty of time on their hands for leisure activities. These citizens were encouraged to take part in politics. In fact, democracy had its roots in Greece. Due to the encouragement of the governing bodies, many Greek men in the cities took an active role in the political scene. Most of these people were later hailed as the great thinkers, writers or artists of the modern world. They made great contributions not only in the sciences but in the arts as well.

Using mathematical theories, Eratosthenes was among the first to declare that the Earth was round. (4 )….....Other Greek mathematicians like Pythagoras and Archimedes also made priceless contributions to the foundation of modern arithmetic and geometry.

The father of modern medicine was a Greek named Hippocrates. He was not only the founder of scientific medicine but he was also a physician and surgeon.

  (5 )...... They tried to understand abstract ideas such as goodness, knowledge, pleasure and the soul. Some of such ideas are not fully understood even to this day.

 Dear Sir,

 I am writing to tell you about an experience I had while shopping in Bristol last Saturday.

 I wanted to do my Christmas shopping so I drove into the City Centre. My first problem was finding somewhere to park. The Galleries car park was full so I went to  the Old Market multi-storey car park. The sign said there were 23 spaces free so I drove in. I drove around for twenty minutes but couldn’t find a space. As I left the attendant told me that I had to pay the minimum parking charge of £1. I told him that I hadn’t actually parked but he threatened to call the police so I paid.

  I finally found a space in the Galleries and left to do my shopping. I had just

finished when it started raining. By the time I got back to the car both my shopping and I were completely soaked. I got into my car and drove out. At the exit, I put my electronic ticket in the machine and it told me that the ticket was damaged and I had to pay the maximum charge of £15. (The ticket was in my back pocket and got slightly damp in the rain.)

 Overall, I spent one and a half hours and £16 trying to park last Saturday. In January, for the sales, I’m going to go to the new out of town shopping centre where parking is free and the car parks are never full. I wanted to support city centre shopping but not at the cost of two or three extra Christmas presents for my grandchildren.

Yours,

Geoffrey Williams Kingsdown
