6 Discuss the questions in pnirs.
1 ln yo ur country, are ta ttoos in fashion? Out of
fashion? Traditiona l? Not part of the cu lture?
2 Do you like ta ttoos on other people?
Why? I Why nut?
In many cou nhi es, tnttoos nre in fashion. On TV you can often see a famous
actor with a picture on her arm or foot, or your fovourite musician with a
word on his hnnd. Many sports personalities have got them on their
necks and backs. In the USA, tnttoos nre very popular. Forty per cent of
Americans aged between twenty-six and forty have got a tattoo and sixty
per cen t or customers in US tnttoo shops are women. These people are
often professional people like doctors, teachers and bwyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. l.n fact, they are very old in humnn
history. For exnmple, nrchneologists found a human in ice from five
thousand years ago. He had fifty-seven tnttoos on his back, ankles,
legs, knees and feet. They were used for many different reasons
loo. In ancient Egypt, people put on tattoos because they were
'beautiful'. 8ut in ancient Rome, Lalloos were negntive and put
on criminnls and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, European sailors
arrived in the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first
time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chest,
backs and legs. Often lhe tattoos were of animals or natural features
like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made
their own talloos. And so the idea travelled to Europe. Tattoos in
Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a
person's history, their island or their job.
So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable
tattoos? And can you call lalloos Cl foshion? Chris Rainier of Natiunal
Geographic is an expert in tattoos and his book ilncienl Marks has photos
of tattoos from all over the world. Tle thinks people in modern societies often have
tattoos because they are a cormection with the haditional world. /\nd anyway,
tattoos aren't a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can' t pul them
on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent
and for life.

invented it yet?
Scientists have discovered and invented many things: computers,
space travel, mobile communication. But there are a lot more things
they haven't invented or we don't use in our everyday life. Are they
all impossible or can we have them one day?
1 Invisible objects
3 Teleporting
2 Flying car
With all the cars on the road and the problems of traffic, why
haven't flying cars become popular? One reason is because
cars are very heavy so they are difficult to fly. There are olher
problems as well. Cities have roads for cars, but they don't
have runways. And we have so many problem s on our normal
roads, do we really want the same problems in the sky?
4 Robot servants
Actually, scientists have invented robots, so why don't we
all have them? Probably because the technology is very
expensive and the robots ohen break down. But many
companies in Japan have made prototype robots for
houses. They wash clothes, switch on the TV, turn off the
lights and change the music. Many scientists think we can
all have a robot servant in our home in about ten years.
