SWIMMING
The warm rain tumbled from the gutter in one of those midsummer downpours as I hastened across the lawn behind my house and took shelter in the pool. Breaststroking up and down, I nosed along with eyes just at water level. Each raindrop exploded in a momentary, bouncing fountain that turned into a bubble and burst. The best moments were when the storm intensified, drowning birdsong, and a haze rose off the water as though the pool itself were rising to meet the lowering sky.
It was at the height of this drenching in the summer of 1996 that the notion of a long swim through Britain began to form itself. I wanted to follow the rain on its meanderings about our land to rejoin the sea, to break out of the frustration of a lifetime doing lengths, of endlessly turning back on myself like a tiger pacing its cage.
Most of us live in a world where more and more places and things are signposted, labeled, and officially 'interpreted'. There is something about all this that is turning the reality of things into virtual reality. It is the reason why walking, cycling, and swimming will always be subversive activities. They allow us to regain a sense of what is old and wild, by getting off the beaten track and breaking free of the official version of things. A swimming journey would give me access to that part of our world which, like darkness, misty woods, or high mountains, still retains most mystery.

Visitors to Vietnam should pay attention to the following advice.
Socializing
Vietnamese people like to ask questions about age, marriage, salary, etc when they meet someone for the first time. For example, they may ask, 'How old are you?', 'Are you married?', 'What do you do for a living?', 'Do you have any children?' Don't be embarrassed by these kinds of questions. This is the Vietnamese way of being friendly.
Presents
Vietnamese people always show their gratitude when receiving a gift. However, you should not be surprised if they do not open a present you had given them immediately. Opening a present in front of the gift-giver is considered to be embarrassing.

Although Vietnamese people always appreciate compliments, they are usually modest in their reactions. For example, in response to the compliment 'What a nice dress!' a Vietnamese girl may say, 'I don't think so. It's very old.'
The elderly
Always show the elderly respect. Bowing your head slightly to an elderly person is a sign of respect. During a meal, elderly people should be served first.
13: Which questions do Vietnamese people often ask when they meet someone for the first time?
A. questions about music B. questions about personal life
C. questions about weather D. questions about sports
14: Who should be served first during a meal in Vietnam?
A. the poor people B. the young people
C. the old people D. the rich people
