1. It is
interesting fact of
modern life that perhaps for
first time in
history
governments are taking
problems of
environment seriously.
2.
latest news is that
jojoba shrub, which grows wild in
Mexico and parts of
United States, could not only
prove to be
ideal substitute for
sperm oil but could also be
means of raising
living standards of
Indians who live in
abject poverty on
reservations.
3.
chemical analysis of
jojoba oil has confirmed that it
is very similar in
composition to
sperm oil and that
wax derived from it has almost
same properties as
carnauba wax, at
present imported from
Brazil at $2
pound.
4. Although
industry has so far not committed
itself to using
jojoba oil in
future,
signs are that once it is
available in
commercial quantities, its use
will soon become widespread.
5. I'm fond
of
sailing.
party of us took
boat to
Mediterranean
last summer. That was
wonderful experience. I've done
some
mountain climbing, too. I've been
up
Snowdon and
few of
mountains in
Lake District. I've never been to
Alps, or anything like that. I
like
theatre, too. I did
bit of
acting at
school and I'm fond of
opera, though I can't sing
note in
tune.
