Over recent years Jersey, an island in the English conduit, has become a very popular holiday destination for British tourists. They are attracted by its mild climate and magnificent scenery. Jersey was popularised as a resort by an English television series called “Bergerac”, which follows a police detective on his adventures around the island. The producers of the series were careful to show the island at its best. Scenes were shot in all the most beautiful parts of the island so, although “Bergerac” was not intended to boost the island’s tourist industry, the number of visitors to the island steadily rose as the series became more popular. Most of the tourists who come to Jersey are English. Jersey appeals to them because the ferry crossing or plane journey gives the sense of travelling abroad, yet the island has all the conveniences of home. For instance, English is spoken all over the island (only the older generation still speak Jersey French) and the currency and many of the shops are familiar. Yet, because the island is so close to France, it is easy to sense a French influence in the food, the architecture and the way of life, it is this added cultural element that makes Jersey a popular holiday destination.

A)Jersey is a tourist place inside U.K

The history of writing and drawing on walls, nowadays known as graffiti, is much longer than most of us realise. People were painting on walls thousands of years ago. But the paintings could have been done for religious reasons, there is also the possibility that the artists wanted to express their individuality at the same time. These days graffiti can be seen almost everywhere, from the Paris Metro to the outside walls of houses in Northern Ireland. It is often viewed as the work of vandals, but some people actually claim that it is a form of art. Certainly, there have been a number of examples of graffiti which have been shown at art exhibitions.
However, as most graffiti is not appreciated, there are continuous attempts to have it removed, which costs a great deal of money. For instance, London Underground has to spend £5 million a year on cleaning its stations. Unfortunately the stations do not remain clean for very long. But recent research has led to the development of a new type of paint. This is effective in the fight for graffiti because paint will not dry on it, so it is much easier to clean the walls.
