I'm 24 and my partner is 46. We've been together for two years, and we have a wonderful relationship. I also have a great relationship with his children from his previous marriage. But I feel worried when I think about our future together. He has already lived life. He's been married, he's had children, and he's owned a business. I'm just starting my life. I want to have children, but he's not sure. I love him and I want to be with him, but I also want to share the adventures of life with someone. Should I leave him?

If you're in a queue at the supermarket and you change to another queue which is moving more quickly, what will happen? The queue you were in before will suddenly start moving faster. What will happen if you take your umbrella because you think it's going to rain later? It won't rain, of course. It will only rain if you forget to take your urnbre1la. These are examples of Murphy's Law, which says, 'If there is something that can go wrong, it will go wrong'. Murphy's Law took its name from Captain Edward Murphy, an American aerospace engineer from the 1940s. He was trying to improve safety for pilots flying military planes. Not surprisingly, he got a reputation for always thinking of the worst thing that could happen in every situation. 1..

"I've found where she lives," said the detective quietly. "Here is the address." Hartley took the piece of paper. On it were the words "Vivienne Arlington, No. 341 East 49th Street." "She moved there a week ago," said the detective. "I can follow her if you want. It will only cost you $7 a day and expenses. "No, thank you," interrupted Hartley. "I only wanted the address. How much is it?" "One day's work,' said the detective. ''Ten dollars." Hartley paid the man. Then he left his office and took a tram to Broadway. After walking a short distance. He arrived at the building that he was looking for. He went up the stairs, into her apartment, and saw her standing by the window. Vivienne was about twenty-one. Her hair was red gold, and her eyes were sea-blue. She was wearing a white top and a dark skirt. ''Vivienne," said Hartley angrily, "you didn't answer my last letter.

Women's sports that are identical to men's sports - football and basketball, for example - will never be as popular as men's, because men are faster, stronger and more athletic. On the other hand, sports that highlight the strengths of female athletes - tennis, gymnastics, ice skating - are popular. But it's interesting that none of those are team sports. 1.

The girl looked out the window dreamily. "Mr Hartley," she said slowly, "I don't know what to say to you. I understand all the advantages of your offer, and sometimes I feel sure that I could be happy with you. But, then sometimes I am less sure. I was born a city girl, and I am not sure that I would enjoy living a quiet life in the suburbs." "My dear girl,» said Hartley, "You will have everything that you want. You can come to the city for the theatre, for shopping and to visit your friends as often as you want. You can trust me, can't you?', "I can trust you completely," she said smiling at him. "I know you are the kindest of men, and that the girl who you get will be very lucky. I heard all about you when I was at the Montgomerys'." "Ah!" exclaimed Hartley, "I remember so well the evening I first saw you at the Montgomerys'. I will never forget that dinner. Come on, Vivienne, promise me. I want you. Nobody else will ever give you such a happy home." Vivienne didn't answer. Suddenly Hartley was suspicious. "Tell me, Vivienne, is there," he asked, "is there - is there someone else?" 1.

The capital city of Estonia, Tallinn, is one of the most beautiful cities on the Baltic coast. It's one of the world's 'smart cities', which means that technology plays an important role in people's lives and in business. But some people in Tallinn are using the internet for something very unusual. It's called the Bank of Happiness, but it's a very different kind of bank. Nobody pays money into the bank, and the bank doesn't lend money to anybody. Instead, the Bank of Happiness is a forum where thousands of people from Estonia, and other countries too, connect with each other, and they offer or receive services completely free of charge. Here's how it works: you register and then you post what you are offering or what you need -it's really easy. For example, people offer to do the shopping for somebody, or walk their dog. Other people post things like 'I need someone who can fix my car' or 'Can anybody translate an email into French for me?'.But the most important thing is that nobody pays any money. Everything is free. The bank was started over five years ago by a 39-year-old Estonian woman called AiriKivi. She's a psychologist and a family therapist, and her goal was to make people think and act with their hearts. 1.

The Peter Gordon Breakfast Show starts at exactly 6.00, so I need to be at work at 5.30 a.m. on weekday mornings. I'm lucky because I live very near the studio -it's only three to four minutes by car - so I get up at about 4.45. I wake up on time because I have an alarm that repeats, and I wear a Fitbit, which vibrates as well. When that goes off, I know that I really have to get up! For the first few minutes, I feel a bit sleepy, but then I wake up quickly. I choose my clothes the night before, and that way everything's ready. I have a cup of tea, and then I leave the house at about 5.15. I have breakfast during the radio show, while I'm playing music - perhaps a smoothie and some cereal. I'm a director of the radio station, so after my show I usually work in the office until late afternoon - it's a long working day! I go to bed quite late, usually at about 11.00. I find it very difficult to go to bed early, it's always been a problem for me. So I only get about five or six hours' sleep - but that's enough for me. Because I get up early, I try not to go out with friends during the week. I only go to necessary events, like work events. Weekends are different! I know I get up early, but I don't want to change my hours because I really love my breakfast show, and I never want to give it up. 1.The Peter Gordon Breakfast Show starts … .

I did Maths at university and normally, after doing Maths at university, people get a job in a bank or in IT, but when I finished it was the recession and it was very difficult to get a job. I was unemployed for quite a long time. I was looking for jobs, and I applied for lots of different jobs, but they just answered 'sorry, we don't want you', and I was getting a bit depressed. This went on for about four months and then one day I was on a number 49 bus in London - I can even remember where I was sitting -and my phone rang. I said hello, and a woman said 'Hello, you applied for a job with us a few months ago. Are you still interested?'.So I said, yes, absolutely, I'm very interested. So then she said 'we'd like you to come for an interview.' and then at that moment we got cut off because the bus went into a tunnel. And the phone number wasn't on my phone - it just said 'unknown number', and I couldn't remember what the name of the company was because I'd applied for so many jobs. So, I thought 'four months of nothing and then when they ring I get cut off'. Luckily they called back the next day, and in the end I had an interview, and I got the job.
