But haveyou ever thought about how people change theirspending when a whole city starts to get richer?10Shenzen, in China, has attracted lots of talentedprofessionals in the last few years, and the averageman or woman there now earns more than in anyother medium-sized city in China.

This is very expensivein China, and professional people generally spendmore than 1,000 yuan each on education. This isone and a half times more money than they spentin 1995. They also spend four times as much oncommunications and telephones. In every onehundred households there are now ninety-threemobile phones and fifty-four home computers.People have started to buy bigger houses.They now usually have an average five squaremetres more space in their apartments, and somehave even bought second houses too.The biggest change, however, has been in thenumber of people buying cars.

But would yoube happy to swap not just your house, but also your business? This isexactly what the following two families decided to do.Jean-Marc, Felicity and Abrielle (sixteen) live in a huge villa in thesouth of France. The house has six guest bedrooms, a swimming pool,vineyards and extensive gardens. They run a hotel from the house,earning more than a50,000 per year. They employ two full-time staffso that they can take time off work to swim, eat good food, play golfand generally enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle.They decided to swap lives with John, Pat and Sally for one month.They hoped that the swap would be useful work experience for theirdaughter Abrielle.John, Pat and their daughter Sally live in Bongor, a seaside townin the north of England, famous for its fish and chips. They run a bedand breakfast, which has ten bedrooms, and earns a20,000 in thehigh season, and about a10,000 during the rest of the year. They workhard. John manages the finances and serves food and drinks to theguests. Sally works as a waitress and helps Pat in the kitchen. Pat doesthe shopping, cooking, cleaning the bedrooms, and anything else thatneeds to be done. Pat is exhausted and wants to spend a month inFrance, to see how different life could be.We spoke to the couples after their swap to ask them how it went.about Jean-Marc.ITHouse swap with a differencec Now answer the questionsAUDIOSCRIPTPat: It was wonderful. It was probablythe best thing I’ve ever done. When wearrived at this beautiful villa it was likebeing on honeymoon. There was hardlyany work to do. There was a cleanerfor the rooms, and the only cooking Ihad to do was to make coffee in themorning! We had lots of free time, sowe travelled around the area and wentsailing. It didn’t feel like work at all – itwas a wonderful holiday.Jean-Marc: Well, we were verysurprised to see how the English familylived. They had two very small roomsin the basement, underground, and allthe nice bedrooms were used for theguests. Also I think they work too hard,because nobody helps them. They arealways cooking and cleaning. I had tocook a traditional English breakfast, butit was terrible. I can’t eat food like thatbecause I think it is very bad for you. InFrance we have fresh bread, with jamand coffee. It is healthier, and easierto prepare too! It was an interestingexperience, but I was very happy tocome home, and I don’t think Abriellelearnt anything very useful. We wouldn’tdo it again.21M15 TENE SB INTGLB 5787 U15.indd 2108/09/2011 08:43
