about how one family traveled across Africa. It took them four years, and during
that time, there were many problems. The music is amazing, but the acting could
be better.

A study of 472 university professors and 163,000 students has

percent of students who study less than ten hours a week get
good grades.

12.5 percent of each day! However, a professor said that it
isn't just about reading. "Students have to remember details
and think carefully about what they read:' Some students, it

Subject: Zurich is expensive!
Date: April 18, 2013
To: Fowzia Martin

Hi Fowzia,
I am visiting a friend in Zurich, Switzerland. We are doing some fun things, but I'm
spending too much money. Everything is so expensive! My friend Anna lives just
outside the city. It costs nine dollars to take the bus downtown, and it is only a
15-minute ride. The coffee is very good, but it cost $8 for one cup. You know I like
at least two cups every morning. Movies cost about $20. A museum ticket isn't
too bad - it is only $10. No wonder Zurich is one of the most expensive cities in
the world!
