A A few also say that meat just tastes great.

B First of all, humans have evolved to eat meat, so it can be seen as a natural part of our behaviour.

@In addition. they also avoid using other animal products like leather. D Not eating meat, so the argument goes, reduces such risks.

E Others believe that keeping and killing animals for food is cruel. F People who follow a vegetarian diet are often fitter, have lower cholesterol levels and are less likely to have weight problems.

G Some people, though, are vegetarians for religious reasons.

HThis is because it is rich in protein, which is a vital part of a balanced diet.

language school with a long tradition. It is located in Greenfield, which is a typical English town with a local theatre , cinemas, a town museum, a library, restaurants and a shopping centre . Greenfield is only two hours by train from London. However, this could create a problem because students can easily go to London in the afternoon and be back by dinner.

D Course(s)

The school offers a variety of courses and the groups are small - up to 10 students. I recommend that all the students take a course in general English (3 hours in the morning) and 2 classes (project work) in the afternoon as well. The school has excellent academic facilities (study rooms, libraries, etc.) and, I am positive , students will benefit from them enormously.

However, there is a possibility to take sports activities instead of language classes in the afternoon. I would not recommend it because students have plenty of time to participate in sports activities after their language classes, which end at 4 p.m.

G Accommodation

Students have a choice between a residential course and staying with a family. Both options have their benefits and drawbacks'. I would suggest a residential course because some families allow students to stay out late.

All three meals are provided in the college canteen . Despite the fact that

some students are not accustomed to canteen food , I am convinced that most students will find the food satisfactory.

H In conclusion , I think that StJames's Languages International satisfies all the requirements. Therefore , I recommend it as a summer language school.
