Mexico City is a difficult city to drive in because of the heavy traffic. The city's fantastic metro network, however, has 11 lines and is very cheap. There are hundreds of buses, trolley buses and peseros (minibuses), too.

In their free time, Mexicans shop at colourful street markets. They also enjoy going to the cinema and theatre. They even have street parties. Football and horse racing are the most popular sports.

Agatha Christie is the world's best known mystery writer. Agatha Christie was born in Devon, England in 1890, and she created many fictional detectives. The most famous are HerculePoirot and Miss Marple. HerculePoirot is a Belgian detective, famous for his neat appearance, his obsession with order and his use of psychology in his investigations of crimes. Miss Marple, on the other hand, is nothing like a typical detective. At first glance she is an ordinary old lady who loves knitting and gossip but she can solve the hardest of mysteries and puts many criminals behind bars!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1859. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. It was one of his professors that inspired him to create the most brilliant detective ever, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes' extraordinary powers of  observation help him solve the most mysterious cases with the help of his faithful companion, Dr Watson. Holmes is very logical and extremely intelligent. He wears a cape and hat, smokes a pipe and uses a magnifying glass.

One Saturday last winter, my best friends Amy, Maria, Greg, Andy and I decided to spend the weekend in my uncle's big, old house in the country. It was stormy outside, so we decided to spend a cosy evening chatting together in the living room downstairs.

Suddenly, there was a powerful gust of wind. The lights flickered and then went out altogether. 'What was that?' I said. 'Don't worry, John, it's just a power cut,' Greg reassured me. We carried on laughing and telling scary stories in the dark. After a while, there was a bright flash of lightning that lit up the whole room. There was a loud gasp. 'Andy is missing!' Amy cried.

We all looked at each other confused and scared, because no one had seen Andy leave the room. We felt our way around the house, calling Andy, but there was no reply. We went back to the living room and tried to think of what to do next. Just then, there was a loud snore from the corner of the room. At that moment, the lights came back on. There was Andy, fast asleep on a big, velvet sofa!

Andy sat up sleepily, rubbing his eyes. 'Oh good, the lights are back on!' he said. 'I was sleepy and felt like a snooze. I did not want anyone to trip over me so I crawled over here.' Wewereallveryrelieved.
