SLEEPING IN A CAPSULE
In Japan there are some hotels with very small rooms – or capsules.

Each capsule is 1m x 1m x 2m! In the ‘room’ there is a bed, a
television, a light and a mirror. These isn’t a door and there aren’t
any chairs or tables. Each capsule has a mirror but there isn’t a
bathroom or toilet. You share a bathroom with the other guests.
There aren’t any cupboards in the capsules but there are some
cupboards with keys in the hotel reception.
Some questions and answers:
Who stays in capsule hotels?
Q (1) ____________________________________
A Usually, businessmen. The ‘rooms’ are too small for tourists.
Q (2) ____________________________________
A They are cheap and they are usually in the centre of town or
near a railway station. People go out after work, they are tired
and it’s easy not to go home.
Q (3) ____________________________________
A Usually, there are about fifty people in a capsule hotel. Their
capsules are next to, under, and over you!

4 Put some or any in the correct place in the sentences.
some
1 There are sandwiches in my bag.

4 There aren’t stamps in her briefcase.

SLEEPING IN A CAPSULE
In Japan there are some hotels with very small rooms – or capsules.
Each capsule is 1m x 1m x 2m! In the ‘room’ there is a bed, a
television, a light and a mirror. These isn’t a door and there aren’t
any chairs or tables. Each capsule has a mirror but there isn’t a
bathroom or toilet. You share a bathroom with the other guests.
There aren’t any cupboards in the capsules but there are some
cupboards with keys in the hotel reception.

FIONA CLARK: MATHS GENIUS?
Fiona is a twelve-year-old English girl. When she was two she could
do mathematics. Both her parents are teachers but Fiona doesn’t go
to school. On week days, Fiona goes to university and at weekends
her mother teaches her at home. ‘Fiona is a happy child. She loves
going to university and I can teach her other things. She doesn’t
want to go to school. My daughter was at school when she was five
but the teachers couldn’t help her because she’s a genius.’
Fiona studies mathematics for five hours a day. ‘I can’t have friends
because I study a lot. I was at school when I was five years old – it
was great, I could play with other children. I don’t think I’m a genius,
I just work very hard.’
