In the room where Mr Small. Dr Foam and Mrs Bulmer were talking to the children, there were some really old people. Mr Small went up to one of them. "I see that you're a very old man." he said.
"Yes. I am. I'm 90." the old man replied.
"Could you give the children here some advice about a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle?" Mr Small asked.
"Sure. Follow my example. Don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat too much sugar or fat and drink lots of water."
At that moment Dr Foam found another old man. who looked older than the first one. He was sitting in a wheelchair, but his eyes were merry and bright.
"How old are you, sir?" Dr Foam asked.
"I'm ninety-five." the man replied.
"Can you tell us why you have lived so long?" Doctor Foam asked.
"It's easy. I always do exercise, and I don't smoke or drink. I spend a lot of time in the open air and I'm a vegetarian." Just then Mrs Bulmer decided to join in the conversation. She saw a very, very old man in the corner of the room. He had no teeth or hair and he couldn't see or hear very well, so she had to come very close to him. The children followed her.
"May 1 ask you a couple of questions, sir," she shouted.
"Yes." the old man whispered.
"Why have you lived so long, sir?" Mrs Bulmer asked.
"I don't know." the man replied.
"Tell us about your lifestyle," Mrs Bulmer continued.
"OK, then. I smoke thirty cigarettes a day and drink a bottle of whisky every day. Sometimes I also have two bottles of beer. I never eat vegetables or fruit and I live on chocolate and cakes."
"How old are you, sir?" Mr Bulmer exclaimed.
"I'm forty." the "old" man replied.

English character
1. One of the most striking features of English life is the self-discipline and people courtesy of all classes. There is little noisy behaviour and practically no loud disputing in the street. People do not rush excitedly for seats in buses or trains but take their seats in queues [kju:z] at bus stops in a quiet and orderly manner.
2. Englishmen are naturally polite and are never tired saying “Thank you” or “Thanks”, “I’m sorry”, “ Beg your pardon”. If you follow anyone who is entering a building or a room, he’ll hold a door open for you. Many foreigners have commented on a remarkable politeness of the English people.
3. English people don’t like displaying their emotions even in dangerous and tragic situations, and ordinary people seem to remain good-tempered and cheerful under difficulties.
4. The Englishman doesn’t like any boasting or showing off in manners, dress or speech. Sometimes he conceals his knowledge: a linguist, for example, may not mention his understanding of a foreigner’s language.
5. The Englishman prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats because he doesn’t wish his doing to be overlooked by his neighbours and they often say “An Englishman’s house is his castle”. Many Englishmen help their wives at home in many ways: they clean the windows on Saturday afternoon and often wash up the dishes after supper in the evening.
6. Sunday is a very quiet day in London. All the shops are closed and so are the theatres and most of the cinemas. Londoners like to get out of town on Sundays. The sea is not far – only 50 or 60 miles away and people like to go down to the sea in summer or somewhere to the country for skiing in winter.
