When nature calls and you need to pee you’d better find a public toilet facility, especially when you are in a city.

Urinating in the streets is considered rude and in many cities around the world it comes with fines up to hundreds of U.S. dollars.

Don’t do it in Brussels  unless you are rich, as the penalty can reach $360. Dubai $130, Seattle  $125, Brighton $120, are considerably cheaper. And just a few bucks of 50 and 30 in New York and Paris, respectively.

WORDS
to urinate: to discharge urine from the body.
to pee: (informal) to urinate.

God helps those who help themselves

This proverb means that if you want to be successful, achieve something or overcome difficulties you must take the effort yourself.

It is not easy to define exactly how many calories can be burnt by doing a specific exercise.

There would also have to be other factors, as your weight and  speed of the exercise, included in the calculation.

Anyway, roughly we can estimate that jumping rope can burn 660-1000 calories per hour.

Running can help with burning 550-800 calories.

The burn of rowing, which works your entire body, is 480-700 calories per hour.

Here are some “non-sport” activities and their calorie burn in 30 minutes:

• Cleaning the house = 100 calories
• Gardening or weeding = 150 calories
• Mowing the lawn = 210 calories
• Strolling = 105 calories
• Raking leaves = 145 calories
• Vacuuming = 120 calories

WORDS
roughly: approximately. 
rowing: the travelling in  a boat using oars.

We tend to think kids must always inherit fortune from their parents.

However, there are some people who plan to pledge  majority of their fortune to charities, instead of handing it down to their offspring.

The James Bond star Daniel Craig, who has two daughters, thinks that inheritance is distasteful and will get rid of it before he goes.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay doesn’t want to spoil his five kids by giving them his fortune.

Simon Cowell, the creator of X Factor and Got Talent, will probably give his money to kids or dogs charity.

WORDS
to inherit: to receive money, property from someone after they have died.
to hand down: to pass something onto someone younger.

Parks are always thought of as places where we can stroll, sit and talk enjoying a calm oasis away from the hectic, busy scramble of everyday city life.

But what if you do not like sitting on grass and you have just arrived at a park with artistic benches.

Would you really want to test out sitting on the benches below?

WORDS
scramble of everyday life: to deal with everyday things in a busy way. 
bench: a seat for two or more people.
