-    they don't like each other any more
-    one of them moves to another place
2    Read the story. Is it about the start or the end of Robert and Harriet's relationship?
special DELIVERY
When Harriet didn't turn up for our first date, I wasn't too upset. It was an informal arrangement and friends told me that she was very unreliable. Actually, this was one of the things I found attractive about her, because I'm the complete opposite - very organized
05 and dependable.
Anyway, she turned up for our second date (only 20 minutes late), and
after that we had a great summer together. But as the months went by, she
just got later and later, and by the end of August things were becoming
impossible. io The 30th was my birthday and I invited four friends to my flat
for a special dinner. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen getting everything
ready, and the four friends all arrived on time at 7.30 - but not Harriet.
Eight o'clock, still no Harriet. By nine o'clock I was angry and very hungry,
so I rang her mobile. I could hear loud music at the other end, so I 15 shouted, 'Where are you?'
'I'm at Sophie's.'
'What!'
'She's having a party.'
'But it's my birthday! Don't you remember?' 20 'Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I completely forgot.'
'Oh, you're impossible!'
Furious, I put the phone down, went into the kitchen, and put Harriet's
dinner in a plastic bag. The next morning I posted it to her, with a note
saying:'HERE'S YOUR DINNER!' 25 A week later I got a postcard back. It said: 'Too much salt.' I never saw Harriet again.
Read the story again and write 'Robert' or 'Harriet' below.

Melahat and her husband live with their three children and Melahaťs mother. All meals are freshly prepared by Melahat, and she buys their food at an open-air market in Istanbul's Golden Horn district. She gets fresh fish and beef there, and it's a particularly good place to buy the fruit and vegetables which are so important in their diet In a typical week, Melahat buys: a kilo of peppers and onions;
two kilos each of carrots, aubergines, chick peas, olives, and courgettes; five kilos of spinach, ten kilos of potatoes, six kilos of oranges, and one of bananas. They eat large quantities of rice and bread - 25 loaves a week. They don't buy any frozen food, but they drink instant coffee and twelve cans of cola a week, plus orange juice, yoghurt drinks, and eight bottles of beer.
THE CAVEN FAMILY CALIFORNIA, USA
Regan and Craig Caven are a typical American family - two incomes, two cars, and two children, Andrea, 5, and Ryan, 3. As they both work, they shop at weekends, usually in supermarkets. They often have salads and there is always a lot of fresh fruit: two kilos each of apples and bananas, and one kilo each of oranges and grapes is typical in the weekly shop. They eat fresh chicken and beef, but only buy fish (tuna) in cans. They spend a lot on drinks: 340g of instant coffee, four litres of milk, two litres each of apple and orange juice, five litres of bottled water, and 25 diet colas, but no alcohol. During the week, frozen food is a large part of their diet - three and a half kilos of frozen prepared meals, and a family-sized frozen pizza. It is only at weekends that the family make time for home-cooked meals; pasta is very popular with the children.
