How many actors who come to Hollywood are really successful?
Many people who think they have professional future in films go to Hollywood only to find disappointment instead of success. They often have to give up the more enjoyable aspects of their chosen career to play parts in advertisements because these provide financial security – but they are not satisfying. For many actors, even basic survival can be difficult. Some do not earn enough to pay their rent or electricity bills, and the time and money they invest in the preparation of a portfolio for interviews is often wasted. Of course there is a possible explanation why only 1% of actors are really successful. There are just too many people who believe that their next performance will be the one that makes them a star!

How many children did she want to have?
Unlike most of my friends I grew up in a big, noisy, happy family so naturally, when I got married, I wanted to have lots of children. The trouble was that my husband and I were not wealthy. In fact we were quite poor so it came as an awful shock when I had triplets. Everyone in the family was very supportive of course and the babies were absolutely adorable, but it was not easy. Small children are extremely active and three little girls running around the house made me feel nervous because I was afraid they might hurt themselves. There were funny moments of course and we were both extremely thankful that our children were happy, healthy, and such good friends for one another. In the end, the money was not important!

The purpose of this research was to find out how many hours of TV students aged 14-18 watch in a typical week. It also aimed to find out what kind of programmes they watch. In addition, it looked at the kind of programmes watched by male and female students to find out if there was any difference in their preferences.
We found that 60% of interviewees have a TV in their bedroom and most watch it alone. On school days, 40% of boys and 50% of girls watch TV for two hours or more, mostly between 6.00 and 9.00 p.m. Only 20% of boys and 15% of girls watch less than one hour. However, at weekends, 60% of boys and 70% of girls watch more than two hours a day, in the mornings and in the evenings. Boys prefer to watch sport, cartoons and music programmes, whereas girls prefer to watch soaps, dramas and music. Only 18% of boys and 16% of girls say they watch news regularly. However, more girls than boys watch documentaries.

Metals are materials most widely used in industry because of their properties. The study of the production and properties of metals is known as metallurgy.
The separation between the atoms in metals is small, so most metals are dense. The atoms are arranged regularly and can slide over each other. That is why metals are malleable (can be deformed and bent without fracture) and ductile (can be drawn into wire). Metals vary greatly in their properties. For example, lead is soft and can be bent by hand, while iron can only be worked by hammering at red heat.

Sheep no longer play such an important part in British agriculture as they did in the past, when there was a steady export of wool to the continent of Europe. Nowadays they are in general numerous only on the land which is unsuitable for other types of farming. Although lamb production is the main source of income for sheep farmers, wool is also important.
