you drop a coin into the water, the coin can be seen clearly at a depth of a hundred feet. Lake Baikal is also the world's largest freshwater lake with one fifth of the Earth's liquid fresh water.

On several trips to Baikal over the past few years, I have come to know the lake, and have listened to many people who live nearby and worry about its future.

It has a special place in the hearts of Russians and is a symbol of beauty. This huge old lake — clear, beautiful, and surrounded by the wilderness of Siberia — is the world treasure but it can only remain so if the world treats it with love and respect.

First lay the mirror in the dish of water at an angle of about 30°. You may need to hold it there with sticky tape. Then fill the dish with water. At this stage place your dish in a strong beam of sunlight so that the light falls across the mirror. Next look around the room for a reflection of white light, not far away you will see a rainbow. Finally try moving the mirror slightly and watch the rainbow move.

shopping all morning and you' re starving! But where are you going to eat? There’s а good chance that you' ll go to а fast food restaurant like Pizza Hut, Burger King or Wendy’s. The biggest problem is choosing one because there are so many.

In the last thirty years fast food has become а major part of our diets. Fast food is cheap, easy to find and easy to eat. You can even eat а burger while you are

driving. Try doing that with а bowl of spaghetti! Families stop at Pizza Hut on the way home from а day trip. Teenagers meet at McDonald s for а burger at lunchtime. Busy office workers buy tasty sandwiches at Subway. It s so quick and easy.

But is fast food healthy? Richard Benton is а nutritionist and he says that fast food can be healthy food. 'Most fast food restaurants have healthy choices like salads and lean chicken sandwiches,' he says. 'Fast food is ОК as long as you don' t eat too much of it.'

People who do eat too much fast food can have health problems. In the United States, 300,000 people а year die from illnesses related to obesity. Twenty per

cent of children in the United States are overweight. The problem has spread as Western fast food has become popular in countries like China, India and Japan. Five to ten per cent of Chinese children are now overweight.

Also, some fast foods contain а lot of fat and sugar. Some health experts believe that high-fat and high-sugar foods change children s behaviour. А recent

survey in Japan found that badly behaved children ate more fast food than well-behaved children.

The good news is that fast food is changing. It is becoming healthier. Thai, Turkish, Japanese and Filipino fast food is becoming popular in the United States.

You can have а quick snack in Elephant Jump (Thai), Jollibee (Filipino) or Yoshinoya (Japanese) if you don' t want а pizza.
