1. People gather the furniture themselves.
2. Why is IKEA so popular?
3. A worldwide success.
4. The inventor of flatpack furniture.
5. What does IKEA sell?
6. Where is IKEA  situated?
7. The beginning of flatpack.
8. The start of business

1. Since it opened its first store in 1943, IKEA has become one of the biggest furniture empires in the world. The company has made people think differently about the way they furnish their homes, particularly in the countries like Germany, the UK and France.
2. Over 365 million people worldwide spend more than £8 billion in IKEA stores each year and the number of customers keeps rising. The best-selling products are bookshelves, sofas, candles, chairs and coat hangers, but perhaps IKEA is most famous for its flatpack furniture.
3. Flatpack furniture was invented by chance in 1956 by a man called Gillis Lundgren. He lived in a Swedish town called Almhult and worked for a small furniture company. From that simple beginning, the small furniture company became IKEA.
4. The moment, when flatpack furniture was born, happened that way. One day Lungren needed to deliver a table to a customer, but the table wouldn’t fit in his car. He decided to pull off the legs and put them underneath. Later he became to design the furniture which could easily be taken into pieces.
5. The secret of IKEA’s success is not just design, it’s also the price. Flatpacks don’t take up much space, so IKEA can send furniture round the world very cheaply. Also the stores don’t employ lots of salespeople to help you to find or carry things. People do it themselves.
6. Apparently, people would rather pay less and build the furniture themselves. However, not everyone seems to find this easy. When the actor Russell Crowe was trying to put together some bedroom furniture, he got so angry that finally he had to ask someone to help him.
7. There are now over 200 IKEA stores in more than 30 countries and every time a new store opens its front-page news. In 2005, when London’s fourth IKEA opened for business at midnight, there were 6000 people waiting outside!

The Sahara Desert is one of the driest regions on earth. Very often the growth of temperature can reach 57°C. So what could be healthy about this place? 1 ____, a tribe who live in the desert in the Western Sahara, it has more than enough of what is needed: heat and sand. The Saharawi have been using the sand cure for hundreds of years. And recently this treatment has been 2_____. My guide explained the technique: “We make a big hole, cover ourselves in lotion, get in the hole and stay in the sun for a few hours.”

The Saharawi believe the cure alleviates skin and back problems. And a local doctor backs up their claims. Dr Coulon has been a doctor in Morocco for more than 30 years and has 3 _____. “It’s very good for your bones, muscles and circulation,” she says.

So, after several cups of mint tea, I agreed to try the cure myself. At midday the heat is at its peak and you hardly walk on the scorching sand. I started 4 ____. Bad idea. The experience of being buried in sand is not unpleasant – it’s a bit like a hot, dry bath. But the experience of 5 _____ is not pleasant at all.

After 20 minutes I was so relaxed I felt I could stay there forever. The desert is so quiet. But ten minutes later, my guides started 6 _____. I had spent a measly half an hour in the sand. The Saharawis spend two hours. My conclusions? Well, I certainly felt more relaxed and very clean-when I’d got all the sand out of my ears, nose and mouse, of course.

1. tried the sand cure herself
2.  helping me out  
3. according to the Saharawi
4. wishing for cool cure
5.  trying the sand cure
