If you were hiking in the North American Wilderness and you saw a bear coming slowly towards you,what would you do?
a)"I'd talk to it quietly"
b)"I'd walk away slowly"
c)I'd try not to look at it"
d)"I'd make a loud noise"
e)"I'd run"
f)"I'd climb a tree"
g)"I'd pretend to be dead"
h)"I'd spray pepper in its eyes"
i)"I'd try to fight it"
Well,all of these are possible-the best thing to do depends on the mood that the bear is in.If it comes towards you slowly,experts say you should talk to it quietly,walk away as slowly as possible,and don't look the bear in the eye.It's possible that it will lose interest.
If not...then be agressive,make a noise,and wave your hands.If this doesn't work,and the bear continues to come towards you,then run.But only if you are sure that you can reach somewhere safe before the bear reaches you.And remember that bears can run as fast as an Olympic sprinter.Don't climb a tree. Bears climb them all day long,and they can climb better than you can.Water is also not safe. Bears love water and are excellent swimmers.If your car is nearby,try to get inside.
If a bear attacks you,then you can pretend to be dead.Bears who don't want to eat you may lost interest and go away.If you have pepper spray,then spray it in the bear's face.This works 75%of the time.The final possibility is to fight back.Most bears are much bigger and stronger than you,but they may be surprised.
Our final advice?It's much better to avoid bears than to do any of the things above...

Lonely Girl
So peaceful in sleep she lies
Brown hair spilled across her pillow
I can picture her beautiful eyes
Looking into her dreams…
She looks like she’s not listening
But really she’s deep in thought
Remembering forgotten memories
When she lived life as she ought
Stolen kisses in the night
Laughing with her friends
Little did she know back then
This is where it all would end
Her heart is filled with regret
Always looking back
She wishes she would just forget
And find happiness once more
I don’t think she’ll ever forget you
But for now there’s joy on her face
She keeps reminding herself
It’s not a race, to be the first to find your place
Now as the sun goes down
She’ll say a prayer
Wishing perhaps for you
But really, life’s not that fair
There’s nothing this Lonely Girl can do
So peaceful in sleep she lies
Brown hair spilled across her pillow
I can picture her beautiful eyes
Looking into her dreams…
She looks like she’s not listening
But really she’s deep in thought
Remembering forgotten memories
When she lived life as she ought
Stolen kisses in the night
Laughing with her friends
Little did she know back then
This is where it all would end
Her heart is filled with regret
Always looking back
She wishes she would just forget
And find happiness once more
I don’t think she’ll ever forget you
But for now there’s joy on her face
She keeps reminding herself
It’s not a race, to be the first to find your place
Now as the sun goes down
She’ll say a prayer
Wishing perhaps for you
But really, life’s not that fair
There’s nothing this Lonely Girl can do
If you've learnt British English and you're travelling in the States,or if you've learnt American English and you're travelling in Britain,you'll notice some differences.An obvious difference is the accent,but most travellers find that they don't have too many problems with this.There are some grammatical differences,but they shoudn't make it difficult to understand people,or to communicate.That leaves differences in vocabulary,which can cause misunderstandings.Sometimes the difference is only the spelling,for example,in British English 'center','colour',and 'travelled',and in American English 'centre','color',and 'traveled'.But sometimes the word is completely different in British and American English,and it's good idea to be prepared.
