9.-Healthcare

Most of the time we feel well. We can play sports, go to work and enjoy our lives. Some people have medical insurance but most people can't afford it and rely on the National Health Service, the NHS.
You may need to go to the chemist to buy cough mixture or pills for a headache. You can get prescription for a doctor. Doctors and medical staff can cure lots of illnesses now using surgeri and treatmen with durks.
Hopefully these treatments won't be necessary. The best way to avoid getting ill is to have a healthy diet, get lots of exercise and take good care of yourself.

8.-Computers

Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. For many young people, playing computer games is their favourirte way of spending spare time.

The smart home is now a real possibility. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match.

If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust temperature levels inside. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading e-mails that they no longer have time for conversation.

In England no town is more than 170 kilometres from the sea. So it's no surprise that Britain has a very important history of ships and the sea. In Liverpool there is a great museum of maritime history.In the early twentieth century there werer large numbers of very elegant passenger ships. They crossed the Atlantic from Liverpool or Southampton to New York in five or six days. One of the most famous shipping companies is Cunard.The majority of people do travel around the world by plane but ships are still very important for moving goods.

4.-Law

The most famous police station in Britain is New Scotland Yard in London, but there are police stations all over the country. They've all got a blue light outside to show they are police stations. We visited a new police station in Lewisham, an area in south-east London. This is the coustody room of the police station. Next they take fingerprints to check the person's identity. They also take mouth swabs for analysis of DNA. Next day he went to court. Here three magistrates listen to evidence from the police and witnesses. They then decide if the persona is guilty or not guilty. Fingerprints are a good way for identifying people but DNA is more reliable. A person's identity can be found fron a single hair! Each persona has got a unique DNA profile. DNA profiles can be matched onthese computers. Forensic scientits provide the evidence that helps the courts decide whether a suspect is guilty of a crime or not. The courts the decide on the sentence.
