COURSE INTRO

On the couch It’s cheap, it’s sociable, it’s cosy, and it’s called couchsurfing. But would you be willing to stay in a stranger’s home and spend the night on their couch?

There are a number of websites where you can get in touch with people all over the world who are prepared to give you a bed or a couch for a few nights so that you can ‘live like the locals’ while you travel. However, there are pluses and minuses for both the couchsurfer and the couchsurfee…

Part A

Sound Bite

Listen to seven people from around the world sharing their couchsurfing experiences. Read through the questions first. As you listen, jot down some key words in English on the couches.

Jenny (York, the UK)

Why did Jenny’s hosts apologize to her, and how did she feel when she finally saw her accommodation?

Jan and Marianne (Gothenburg, Sweden)

What was their guest’s excuse for not showing up, and what have the hosts now done?

Josh (Sawtell, Australia)

What two things does Josh often do to thank his hosts, and what effect did one of these have on his Dutch hostess?

Vanessa (Avignon, France)

What didn’t Vanessa know about Americans, and why did it cause problems for her?

6

Couchsurfing One of the first couchsurfing websites was started by Casey Fenton, an American web consultant who couldn’t bear the thought of spending his weekend in a lonely Icelandic hotel.

He spammed a couple of thousand Reykjavik students asking whether anyone would put him up for the night and show him around their home city.

He got some great offers and had a fabulous time, without spending a fortune.

What advice does Anup give to fellow couchsurfers?

Carly (Mountain View, California)

COURSE INTRO

Anup (Calcutta, India)

What is one of the dark sides of couchsurfing, and how can you avoid it?

Charo (Oporto, Portugal)

What are the two advantages of couchsurfing in Charo’s opinion?

Now work with a partner.

Based on your key words, retell the couchsurfing experiences.

Part B

Chat Room

Work in groups of three and discuss the following points.

1 Would you like to go couchsurfing abroad yourself? Why? / Why not?

2 Would you be prepared to host couchsurfers in your home? Why? / Why not?

3 Now imagine yourselves in the following situations, as either guests or hosts.

What would you do if

• your guest just lazed around all day, raided your fridge every few hours, and showed no signs of leaving?

• your guest kept comparing Finland unfavourably to his/her home country?

• your guest asked you to recommend some typical Finnish souvenirs to take back home to Australia?

• your host was very kind and welcoming, but had such a messy place that you were afraid even to sit down?

• your host became amorous?

• your host asked you to cook a typical Finnish meal one evening?

7

Couchsurfing is an excellent way to travel if you’ve been bitten by the travel bug but have a limited travel budget. The first thing you have to do is register your details on the net so you can take advantage of the free networking service. The application form below is typical of many that you will find if you google couchsurfing. Check it out and fill it in.

Kick Start

TAKE YOUR PICK!

The things you choose to pack when you travel can say a lot about the kind of holiday you’re going to take. The pairs of items below indicate two possible types of trips.

Work with a partner. Taking turns with each pair of items, say which of the two appeals to you more and why.

1 a backpack / a suitcase 2 ski boots / sunscreen 3 snorkelling gear / a map and a compass 4 a list of museums / a list of restaurants 5 a travel guide / a thick novel 6 a pair of stylish shoes / a pair of trainers 7 a phrase book / Sudoku 8 an umbrella / a waterproof jacket 9 a snowboard / a tennis racket 10 swimwear / hiking boots 11 a hair dryer / mosquito repellant 12 a train timetable / a flight ticket 13 malaria tablets / some packets of rye bread 14 climbing gear / a life jacket 15 a camera / binoculars

1B

Kick Start

Work in pairs. Take turns asking and answering the following questions.

1 What would your ideal holiday destination be and why?

Activating prior knowledge

2 Who would you like to travel with?

Seeing what you already know about a subject and sharing ideas is a good way of getting your brain into gear before you read or listen, or write. Think of it like warming up your muscles before you start exercising, except the muscle in question is your brain.

3 How important is it for you to know the language of the area you travel to?

4 Are you interested in getting to know the local people? What about the local food?

5 What are you nervous or worried about before or while travelling?

6 Have you ever had any bad experiences when travelling? If so, what?

Two friends, Alex and Jo, are sitting in a café talking about travelling.

Alex is quite happy to stay at home as he’s not too keen on going abroad.

First listen to the dialogue to find out why. As you listen, make notes in Swedish.

List five things that can go wrong during a journey and five things that can go wrong once you get to your holiday destination.

Alex: …wherever you go. I don’t know how you can be bothered with all the hassle.

Jo: Come on, all the security checks are necessary today, and you know it. Flying is safer than ever these days because of them.

Alex: Well, even if the airline manages to get you to your destination in one piece, and manages not to send your luggage in the opposite direction, there are all sorts of horrible things waiting for you when you finally get there.

Jo: Like what, for instance?

Jo: What hassle?

Alex: Like… like getting sunburnt.

Alex: All those long queues at the check-in, delays, cancellations, bad-tempered passengers and cabin crew, strip searches…

Jo: Use sunscreen.

Jo: Come off it! I’ve never been strip searched in my life. All you have to do is make sure you aren’t carrying any metal objects when you go through the metal detector. And take your belt and shoes off sometimes. Better safe than sorry.

Alex: Huh! I heard about a young lad who wasn’t allowed on the plane until he had removed the metal brace from his teeth. Poor kid. What a way to start your holiday. I mean, did they really think a nineyear-old was going to hijack the plane with his brace of all things?

30

Alex: Or being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Jo: Pack some insect repellant.

Alex: Or malaria or hepatitis or– Jo: Take the tablets and get your jabs before you go.

Common sense.

35

40

Alex: Or lousy accommodation. The ads never deliver what they promise. They say your room will be spacious and your balcony will overlook the sea. But when you arrive, your room isn’t big enough to swing a cat in, and it has a view of the main road. If you’re lucky enough to get a room, that is. I got to a hotel once after a twelve-hour journey and they couldn’t

even find my reservation! ‘Alex who?’ the receptionist kept saying.

45

50

55

Jo: I always book online and I’ve never had any problems. You get what you pay for when it comes to hotels.

Alex: Do you? My friend took a trip to Turkey once and stayed in a so-called five-star resort. But the travel agent forgot to mention that the hotel was situated between two mosques. Being called to prayer at five o’clock every morning – in stereo – didn’t exactly figure in his travel plans.

Jo: It’s called local culture, Alex. That’s why most people go abroad in the first place, to experience a different culture and see a different way of life. Not to mention all the wonderful sights.

Alex: Building sites, you mean?

you they had their head down the toilet for a week in Egypt or couldn’t go anywhere in the evening in South Africa because they were afraid of being mugged or… or kidnapped.

75

Jo: You’re exaggerating as usual.

Alex: No, I’m not. The Times Online ran a competition recently in which people could write in and describe their worst holiday experience ever.

They got thousands and thousands of entries. Some of the horror stories would have kept Stephen King awake at night.

Jo: They were probably exaggerating, like you.

What was the prize, by the way?

Alex: The holiday of a lifetime for two in Borneo!

Jo: Oh, please… you’d give an aspirin a headache. If travelling is such a drag, why are holidays abroad the highlight of the year for millions of people?

Alex: Because half the time they don’t want to admit that they’ve made a terrible mistake and wasted all their money. Whenever I ask someone how their holiday went, they always say it was wonderful. It stands to reason, doesn’t it? No one’s going to tell

Grouping words Grouping words in a meaningful way will help you to file them better in your memory, and find them more easily when you need them.

Possible problems

Now work with a partner and take turns. Both of you need to explain at least six words or expressions from your lists. Make sure you don’t mention the word itself. Your partner has to guess which word you mean.

Expressing opinions There are a number of expressions you can use in English when you want to agree, disagree or ask someone for their opinion. Note that English speakers have a habit of using each other’s first names, especially when bringing another speaker into the discussion.

Agreeing

Disagreeing

Asking for opinions

I agree with Elias.

You’re quite right.

Absolutely!

You have a point, but…

I don’t think that is…

Yes, but…

Thailand, Thomas, the Thames

Now listen to the following dialogue.

Then practise it with your partner twice, swapping roles the second time.

– Thomas Thatcher returned from Thailand last Thursday.

– Oh, that’s why those thin thighs of his are so red then.

– He’s throwing a party on the Thames this month, too, when he turns thirty-three.

– Really? I thought he was going to visit his brother Theo in Timbuktu.

– That’s on the thirtieth of next month. Thanks to Theo’s army training, they’ll get to test-drive tanks together, among other things.

Thrilling, don’t you think?

– Yeah. Timbuktu? That’s in southern Africa, isn’t it?

– No, it’s thousands of miles further north. Theo taught mathematical theory there in his youth.

– Oh? I thought he did something in the theatre. Before he became a therapist, that is.

– The theatre? No, you’re thinking of their other brother, Fred.

He’s thirteen years younger than Theo, and still has a thin tin brace on his teeth.

– Oh yeah, that’s true. He’s playing a tree in The Tempest in Thunder Bay this month.

– Just think. It’s the tenth time his mother and father have travelled there to see him, or so they say.

– That’s understandable, though. Those Thatcher brothers are a thoroughly talented threesome.

MAGIC WORDS

Check that you remember how to use each of the polite words and phrases below.

Excuse me is used

• before a polite request: • before interrupting: • to ask someone to repeat something:

Excuse me, do you have the right time?

Excuse me one moment, I’ll have to take this call.

Excuse me? (with rising intonation)

Sorry is used

• to apologize after something has happened: • to soften a negative statement: • to ask someone to repeat something:

Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.

I’m sorry, but that isn’t good enough.

Sorry? (with rising intonation)

Please is used

• to ask for something: • after saying yes to something you have been

Two cappuccinos and one tea with lemon, please.

Yes, please.

offered:

• to ask someone to do (or not to do) something:

Please don’t cry, Nigel.

Thank you / thanks / thanks a lot is used

• after someone has helped you or given you

Thanks for the tip.

something:

20

• when saying no to something you have been offered:

No, thank you.

When someone says thank you, you should reply with one of the following:

You’re welcome.

That’s okay. / That’s (quite) alright.

No worries.

Don’t mention it.

Note: Here you are is only used in English to add emphasis, not every time you give

someone something.

– Excuse me, is my bill ready yet?

– Sorry, I almost forgot. Here you are.

Fill in the gaps with one of the words or phrases on the previous page.

HOW COME?

1 – . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , but this isn’t what I ordered.

5 – Could you spell that for me, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?

6 –

7 – Here’s that DVD you wanted to borrow.

–

....................................

When would you like it back?

8 –

...................................,

I just have to pop to the loo.

9 –

...................................

stop whistling that tune.

It’s driving me nuts.

The loo There are several theories about the origin of the word loo, which is British slang for toilet. Some say it comes from the French expression gardez l’eau, meaning watch out for the water, which was something people shouted as they tipped the contents of their chamber pots out of upstairs windows in medieval times.

Another suggestion is that it comes from the French word lieu, referring simply to ‘place’. A third idea is that it’s a misreading of room 100, which was a common European expression for the bathroom.

ANY COMPLAINTS?

We don’t always get the quality of service we expect. Therefore, it’s important to know how to complain politely and tactfully so that you can avoid upsetting the person who is serving you, and also get the best possible outcome.

Read through the following dialogue, which takes place at a hotel reception desk.

Underline the polite phrases that both speakers use to try to sort out the problem.

Guest

Excuse me, there seems to be a mistake. I reserved a non-smoking room, but unfortunately somebody has been smoking cigars in the one you’ve given me. I wonder if you could find another one for me.

Receptionist I’m afraid we’re fully booked at the moment, madam. Could you give me your name and room number and I’ll see what I can do tomorrow morning.

Guest

I’d really appreciate it if you could sort things out right away.

Receptionist I’m very sorry, but there’s nothing I can do just now. But please accept this voucher for a youth-restoring facial in our beauty salon with our compliments.

Guest

That won’t do, I’m afraid. You see, I’m terribly allergic to cigarette smoke, so you can’t really expect me to spend one minute in that room, let alone a whole night.

Receptionist I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize that. Would you like me to see if there are any vacant rooms in our sister hotel on the other side of the street?

Guest

That would be great. Sorry to trouble you.

Receptionist It’s no trouble at all. It’s our fault entirely. Just one moment please, and I’ll give them a call.

22

Now work with a partner and act out the following situations. Take turns being the person who complains, and try to reach a satisfactory conclusion each time. Remember to use the polite phrases on the previous pages to get the best possible outcome.

1 At the airport

There’s a long queue at security control. Your plane leaves in half an hour.

You manage to spot a member of the ground crew and ask her to explain what’s happening.

2 On the plane

You ordered a vegetarian meal when booking online. You’re given a beef curry for lunch. Complain to the flight attendant explaining why you can’t eat the food she has served.

3 At your destination

You arrived at your destination, but your luggage didn’t. All the things you need for your weekend away are in your suitcase. Go to the lost luggage desk and make a complaint.

4 In your hotel room

The young couple in the room next door are having a party – at 4 am!

You haven’t slept a wink. Knock on their door and ask them politely to stop the racket.

5 In a restaurant

You’ve eaten a superb three-course meal and are in good spirits.

When the bill arrives, your heart sinks. The meal should’ve cost €25, but the waiter gives you a bill for €45. Ask for an explanation.

Kick Start

You’re planning to go interrailing around Europe next summer. Work with a partner or in groups.

Step 1

Look at the map on the inside front cover of the book and decide together which countries you want to visit. Make your travel plan and prepare a presentation of your destinations.

Draw up a budget, checking online for information on the price of travel and accommodation.

Present your interrail plan including budget information to your classmates.

Step 2

Choose the items that you’re going to pack in your own backpack.

Interrailing. The perfect student experience. Total freedom on the cheap, amazing places and really cool people – who could ask for more?

Online community Student UK member jane_01 is a ‘veteran’ and spent four weeks interrailing around Italy, France and Slovenia one summer.

She shared her survival tips on the community website.

Travel light

10

Chuck out the teddy bear, the hair straighteners and that stash of make-up large enough to do up a drag queen for a year – you have to carry it all. There is no other time it will seem so heavy as when you have to drag yourself out of bed at some ungodly hour in order to catch a train. Specifically, if (as in my case) it’s July in southern Europe, ditch the sleeping bag in favour of a sheet; it takes up loads of space and you don’t need it. Do take flip-flops, however; they take up hardly any space, and most hostel bathroom floors leave a lot to be desired.

Make friends with the locals 15

You’ll strike up so many conversations; on trains, in youth hostels, pretty much anywhere, and, particularly in Mediterranean countries, the people are some of the friendliest and most welcoming you’ll ever come across. However, it pays to be cautious, particularly if you’re female. Beware of guys you meet who use their ‘religion’ as a reason why you shouldn’t be afraid to take up their offer of a lift home… at 2:00 am.

Plan ahead 20

25

26

The first night we were away, Kate and I arrived in Paris at 6:30 pm (in high season) with nowhere to stay, which I wouldn’t recommend. In fact, we didn’t book anywhere in advance, which meant moving around a lot and getting up very early. If you’re dead set on being spontaneous, it can be done, but be prepared to pay more, and panic a lot, in a “we’re doomed! / we’ll end up sleeping on the streets” way.

Otherwise use a credit card and book over the internet before you go, or as far in advance as you can. With regard to trains, get the Thomas Cook train timetable; it’ll prevent you having to get up three hours before the train leaves in order that you won’t miss it.

Occupy your mind 30

35

Take something to do during the inevitable periods of waiting around for trains and the like. In the 2,000 km or so that Kate and I travelled by train I got through more books than I do normally (not difficult). If that’s your sort of thing, know that most European cities have at least one English language bookshop.

Alternatively, buy a phrasebook and try to pick up a few words of the local lingo, do crossword puzzles, write a novel – whatever takes your fancy, and emerge a more cultured individual at the end of it.

Budget for food 40

45

And take vitamin pills. Seriously, we hardly ate at all in the first week because we were overspending by so much on accommodation. Make sure you can afford to do so. Also, some hostels have kitchens, which works out a bit cheaper – buy raw ingredients and turn them into something tasty to impress your newly-made hostel friends. Also on the subject of food, take your phrasebook to restaurants so you know what you’ve ordered – I’ll never forget the time in a Slovenian bar when one of our group ordered what they thought was a cocktail. Unfortunately, when it came, it wasn’t even any sort of drink. It was a ham sandwich.

Be open to new experiences 50

55

Sounds corny, but the unpredictability is half the fun. Case in point; the Belgian guy who approached us outside the Louvre avec camera crew and asked us to take part in his indie film project by swearing at him and being generally abusive as he (on camera) pretended to chat us up. Moments like these, along with the people you meet, are what make it so memorable. It really won’t be the buildings that form the basis of most of your anecdotes, however beautiful they are. On that note, the only problem with interrailing is exactly how addictive it is – much to the delight of my bank manager, I’m already making plans for next summer… © StudentUK Ltd.

HOW COME?

Sandwich (page 27, line 48) The sandwich was supposedly named after the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu (1718–1792). The earl would spend long hours playing cards for money. When he got hungry during a game once, he asked for a slice of beef to be placed between two slices of bread so he could play and eat at the same time. Hence the sandwich was born!

Work with a partner. Take turns playing the part of the interrailer and the interrailer-to-be. Base your conversation on the questions in exercise 2D. Take a look at the example before you start.

Are you travelling light?

Yeah, any luggage is a real drag when you have to carry it with you all the time.

The lighter your backpack, the better.

What stuff did you leave out to save space?

I left out an extra pair of jeans in favour of a light travel pillow. In fact, I ditched half of the clothes that I first thought to pack.

Phrasal verbs Phrasal verbs are very common in everyday English, especially spoken English.

They consist of two parts – a verb and one or two prepositions or adverbs.

Together, the two parts form a new verb with a completely different meaning: to get to get on

CAN YOU SPELL THAT, PLEASE?

A foreign summer worker has been left in charge of a hotel reception desk in the London suburbs while her colleague is at lunch. An Irishman phones to make a reservation.

Listen to their conversation. Fill in the missing details on the booking form below. Turn to the inside back cover of the book for the letters of the alphabet.

LEARNING TIP

Listening for details When you listen for details, you have to know in advance which specific items you are listening for – numbers, letters, names, prices, times and so on. Then you can just tune into the information you need, and tune out most of the ‘padding’ you hear in between.

Kick Start

You're going to read an extract from a book in which actor Ewan McGregor describes his experiences while travelling through different countries on his motorbike. Before reading the extract, work in groups of three and talk over the following questions together.

1 Have you ever had bad service in a restaurant, at a hotel or in a shop?

Share your experiences.

2 We form our first impression of someone in just a few seconds.

What kinds of things is this first impression based on?

3 Are there certain physical characteristics that either arouse your interest in a person or make you feel slightly uncomfortable?

4 Some people feel that others are against them because of their appearance.

What kind of people, in your opinion, are likely to face this kind of prejudice?

5 How do you react if you suddenly notice a famous person somewhere?

About the authors Ewan McGregor (b. 1971) is a Scottish actor who made his name in the film Trainspotting. He also starred as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars episodes one to three, and proved that he could sing as well as act in the musical Moulin Rouge. A keen motorcyclist since his youth, he went on his first marathon motorcycle trip with his mate Charley in 2004.

Born in London in 1966, Charley Boorman grew up in Ireland, spending much of his childhood riding motocross bikes.

Charley became firm friends with Ewan after they starred in a film together and discovered that they shared a passion for motorbikes. In 2007, they made a second documentary series called Long Way Down, which charted their motorcycle journey from Scotland to South Africa.

Long Way Round is a travelogue which describes actor Ewan McGregor and his friend Charley Boorman’s first epic motorcycle journey together.

On this trip, they rode from London to New York via Western and Central Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia and Canada – a total distance of about 30,000 kilometres. Their adventures were also filmed for a TV documentary series.

In this extract from the book, Ewan reflects on some incidents which took place in his earlier biker days.

A few years ago, I rode from London to my parentsin-law’s home in northeast France. I didn’t want to be recognised so I shaved my head into a Mohawk in the hope it would be enough to ensure that I was left alone. After a day riding through central France, I stopped at a campsite at the Tarn Gorge and put my tent up. Dressed in shorts and a vest, with my six-inch Mohican and a large, freshly tattooed heart incorporating my wife and daughters’ names on one bared shoulder, I entered the local bar. Sipping a drink at the bar and planning on staying another

HOW COME?

Mohawk (line 15) Shaving both sides of the head and leaving a spiky strip down the middle is known as a Mohican in the UK and a Mohawk in the States. The Mohawk is often believed to have been worn by the Native-American Mohawk tribe, but this is in fact incorrect. Early French explorers mistook another tribe, the Iroquois, for the Mohawk tribe and the name of the hairstyle stuck.

few days to do some sightseeing and relax, I was just about to ask the barman if I could book a table that evening when a customer at the bar gave me a look that made me want to leave immediately. He looked at me as if I was a piece of dirt, with real hatred in his eyes. With a Gauloise wedged between his thin lips, this Frenchman, quietly smoking at the bar, clearly thought I was despicable, worthy only of his contempt because of my appearance. It shocked me that one person could look at another with such hatred. And all because I had spiky hair.

I crossed the road to a restaurant with dozens of empty tables inside and outside. I walked in and asked for a table for later that evening. The waitress looked at the barman. They both looked at me, silent for a few seconds. And then she said simply: “Non.” I couldn’t believe it. What was she thinking? “It’s just for me – pour moi.”

“Non.” “How about out of sight?”

“Non.” I crawled back into my tent and went to sleep hungry and thirsty, surrounded by hundreds of happy British holidaymakers. Because of their presence on campsites across France, I’d shaved my hair into a Mohican to avoid detection. My disguise had succeeded so comprehensively that now I couldn’t even buy a meal in a local bar. In a week of travelling around the country, I don’t think I was

recognised once, but, shunned by restaurateurs and barkeepers across France, I soon became very lonely and hungry, and rolled up at my parents-in-law’s home several days earlier than I had intended.

A few years later, shortly after I finished shooting Big Fish in Alabama, I encountered a similar experience. Wanting to ride to Los Angeles before flying home to London, I bought myself a HarleyDavidson Roadglide and headed for Oklahoma to cruise along one of the few remaining stretches of the original Route 66. Three days into the journey, I arrived at Elk City, a mythical Route 66 destination, far off the beaten track, stuck in a 1930s time warp and immortalised in Woody Guthrie’s Dust Bowl Ballads. I stumbled into an old pool hall, wishing I had someone to play with at one of the dozen or so empty tables. Oozing authenticity and history, it had the Stars and Stripes in one corner and it made you want to stand there with your hand clutched to your chest, humming “the Star-Spangled Banner”.

A young guy was playing pool with a girl, and a trio of good old boys were sitting at a table at the far end, playing cards. Next door was a gun store with two signs on the window – “We don’t ring 911” and “We Keep Indian Time” – and further down the road was

the Elk City Holiday Inn Express. Having taken in the pool hall, I pulled up outside its front doors. A force five wind had been blowing all day and I’d been riding at a tilt of 45 degrees since getting on the road.

I was exhausted, in need of food and a bed. “Can we help?” the manager asked.

“Yeah, I’m just looking for a room,” I said, asking for a double to get a larger room.

“No. We’re full.”

Outside, the parking lot was empty. It was late afternoon and there wasn’t a single car to be seen.

“Really? Haven’t you got anything?”

“We’re full.”

I crossed the road and took a room in a motel. A few months later, on The Jay Leno Show, I mentioned being turned away from what appeared to be a totally empty Holiday Inn Express. Jay invited me back on his show to publicise Long Way Round in December 2003 and made a great thing of presenting me with a voucher for a free night’s stay, breakfast included, sent in by the Elk City Holiday Inn Express. Not that I was going to take them up on it.

Discuss the following questions with your partner.

1 Why did the waitress choose not to serve Ewan even though the restaurant had no customers?

2 Ewan chose to shave his head. Why do you think he did that?

3 Ewan writes that the pool hall in Elk City was ‘oozing authenticity and history’. Why did he get that impression?

4 The store in Elk City had two signs in the window saying “We don’t ring 911” and “We Keep Indian Time”. What do you think these signs mean?

5 Why did Ewan have no intention of using the voucher he later received for a free night’s stay at the Elk City Holiday Inn Express?

HOW COME?

Tabloid Tabloid was originally the name of a brand of tablets produced by a pharmaceutical company in 1884.

Written with a small ‘t’, the word soon came to be used to describe anything that was in a smaller, concentrated form. The first use of tabloid to mean a newspaper containing short news articles appeared in 1918.

Today, it refers to a smaller-sized newspaper that has lots of photos, sensational headlines and stories about famous people, rather than serious news.
