Check these words vending machine, permanently, give the impression, presentable, awakened, jangle, engage in, detect, turn a blind eye, migrant workers, foreseeable future Heathrow is my home As dusk approaches, Heathrow, Europetasks busiest airport, quietens down for the night. Night cleaners begin their shifts and passengers waiting for delayed flights curl up on benches in the departure hall One woman. Eram Dor, has found a cosy spot on the floor next to a vending machine. There is nothing to distinguish her from the wading passengers around her, except that she has no passport and ticket and is in no hurry to leave the terminal. For well over a year now. it has been her home and she isntaskt the only one Eram is one of well over 100 people who live permanently at Heathrow airport. Most people would have difficulty in telling these permanent residents of Heathrow apart from the thousands of travelers that pass through the terminals each day. Wheeling suitcases full of their only belongings, they dress ii Hawaiian-style holiday shirts or even business suits in order to give the impression that they are on a business trip or flying to a sunny destration. Eram, a middle-aged ex-law-student who became homeless after she could no longer pay her rent, actually considers herself fortunate to live in Heathrow. She says. I liked it here immediately. I have never felt lonely because there are so many people. I dontaskt mix much with the other homeless, although they are of all ages and from every walk of life. We all recognise each other, but I just like to keep to myself.task There are showers in every terminal where Eram can stay dean and presentable She can sometimes help herself to food passing by the caterers, and while away her time recoding magazines and newspapers left behind by passengers. It’s difficult not to suspect that Eram is just putting on a brave face Ittasks hard to believe shetasks truly satisfied with this way of life. Once a week, she travels to London to pick up a cheque for ?60 from a charity. ‘The cash goes nowhere,’ she says. ‘Buying food at the airport is expensive I dontaskt eat anything at breakfast because, if I do, it makes me feel more hungry.’ Living in Heathrow isntaskt easy for Eram. Besides being awakened by the jangle of coins as a passenger buys something from the machine, loud announcements and bustling passengers, she has to engage in a full-time cat-and-mouse game with the police and security staff. Ittasks illegal to sleep at Heathrow unless you have a flight to catch, so along with the rest of Heathrowtasks homeless population. Eram has to wash and change her clothes every morning in order to not stand out from the crowd and be detected. If she is, she faces a night in the cold bus terminal or worse, being thrown out into the rain ‘The builders who work overnight at the airport are very kind and dontaskt report the homeless to the authorities,task she says. The cleaners turn a blind eye too.’ Night workers arentaskt the only ones trying to help this unusual group of people. Broadway, a homeless charity, visits the airport weekly to offer the airporttasks homeless temporary accommodation, help to get travel documents for migrant workers and attempts to reconnect people with their families. But, as a Broadway worker points out. ‘Homelessness is a way of life It can be very difficult to convince people to receive help.’ Like the passengers escaping to sunny holiday destinations, many of Heathrowtasks homeless are also in search of escape from debts, legal problems or family responsibilities. The saddest fact is that unless they are arrested or fall I, many of Heathrowtasks homeless will stay there for the foreseeable future ‘I dontaskt really see a different future,’ Eram Dar admits In fact, I could be living at Heathrow forever.’ 2 For questions 1-6, choose the correct answer (1.2. 3 or 4).
