Question 6 According to the text "The Tattoos", in the third paragraph the word fairly is an adjective to
Complete express:
Mark 0.0 out of 1.0 For many years tattoos were associated with sailors and soldiers, then in the 60s and 70s with bikers
and heavy metal rock stars. But today more people from all social classes are having tattoos done
and there has been a significant increase in the number of women who have them.
Many famous people have had tattoos done too. Footballer David Beckham, and his wife, Victoria,
both have tattoos of their first son's name Brooklyn. David has one on his back and Victoria has one
on her arm. Other famous people include singers, actors and actresses such as Robbie Williams,
Britney Spears, and Angelina Jolie among others.
Tattoos have existed for more than 5.000 years. The word tattoo comes from the Polynesian word
tatau, meaning ''symbol''. In Polynesia tattoos were a sign of social status and the transition from
childhood to adult life. They became known in the West when sailors on voyages of discovery to the
Polynesian islands had tattoos done because they wanted to be accepted by native people or
because they wanted a souvenir of their voyage.
The traditional method of tattooing is to make a drawing on the skin and then trace the lines of the
final tattoo by injecting ink under the skin, using a machine with a needle. Sounds painful? It is. But
not as painful (or expensive) as having a tattoo removed! Modern laser surgery has improved the
situation, but even with this method there is no guarantee that a tattoo can be completely removed.
So a lot of people have henna tattoos, which are not permanent. These are fine if the pure henna dye
is used, but sometimes artists use inferior dyes containing the chemical PPD, which can cause
permanent skin problems. There are also semi -permanent tattoos which can last for up to five years

Complete
You think you are falling in love. You are really attracted to a certain person. But this happened before
Mark 1.0 out of 1.0 and it was just a “crush”. How can you tell if it’s real this time? Here is what our readers said:
If you are in love…
You will find yourself talking to or telephoning the person for no reason. (You might pretend there’s a
reason but often there is not).
You will find yourself bringing this person into every conversation. (“When I was in Mexico -, “a friend
begins. You interrupt with, “my boyfriend made a great Mexican dinner last week”).
You might suddenly be interested in things you used to avoid. (“When a woman asks me to tell her all
about football, I know she is fallen in love,”) said a TV sports announcer.
Ok, so you’ve fallen in love. But falling in love is one thing, and staying in love is another thing. How
can you tell, as time passes, that you are still in love? If you stay in love, your relationship will change.
You might not talk as much about the person you are in love with. You might not always call him or
her so often. But this person will nevertheless become more and more important in your life.
You’ll find that you can be yourself with this person. When you first fell in love, you were probably
afraid to admit certain things about yourself. But now you can be totally honest. You can trust him or
her to accept you as you are. Falling in love is great – staying in love is even better!
