A scrapbook provides an ideal way of preserving personal andfamily histories. Enthusiasts claim that scrapbooks quite simplyprovide one of the best and most special ways of remembering thingsover long periods of time. In the past, making a scrapbook gave anychild a splendid way to spend a rainy afternoon. Filled with oldphotographs, used tickets, newspaper cuttings, magazine clippings andpostcards, the scrapbook brought together so many different memoriesto be cherished all in one place.

Today, the scrapbook has grown sophisticated. The new fashion forscrapbooks began in the USA in the 1980s and spread to Britain in the1990s from where it continues to spread to Europe today. Scrapbookshave caught on in France like nowhere else. Le Scrapbooking, as theFrench call their new pastime, is a far cry from the old-fashionedactivity of arranging family photos together with bits and bobs fromvarious outings and holidays. In chic Parisian circles, Le Scrapassmart trendsetters prefer to call itis all about displaying artistic flair,expensive taste and a great deal of social one-upmanship.

However, the idea of a scrapbook is far from new. The ancientGreeks first invented scrapbooks that used a kind of notebook called aHypomnemata to keep records of interesting things that theyconsidered to be significant. Over the centuries, the idea of keeping apersonal record of events and experiences together with cherishedmementos continued in many different cultures. During the 18th and19th centuries, people from Europe and America often prepared apersonal account or scrapbook of their experiences and travels to showfriends and relations. Some of the best-known American scrapbookerswere distinguished public figures such as Thomas Jefferson and MarkTwain.

More recently, the current wave of interest in scrapbooking beganin the 1980s in the USA as a way of embellishing and personalizingfamily photograph albums. A new craze for the hobby emerged whenschools and hobby classes encouraged people across the generationsto liven up old photograph albums by decorating them with stickers,stamps, dried flowers, lace and ribbons. In the USA, a leadingscrapbook magazine recently claimed that the hobby is now morepopular than golf and is worth over US$ 2.5 billion a year!

Nevertheless, it is in France that scrapbooking has captured anentire nations collective imagination. Relatively unknown before the

1990s, scrapbooking is a completely new social phenomenon in

France. Today, there are about 50 French Internet sites sellingscrapbook material with at least two schools devoted to the hobby anda large number of workshops held to promote scrapbooking. Thehobby appeals to French women in particular and has given rise to thename les scrapbookeuses to describe such enthusiasts. Thesescrapbookersmeet in their many thousands in the evenings and duringweekends at newly-created associations and clubs all across thecountry.

Why have scrapbooks caught on so massively in France? Onereason may be due to the countrys long history of artistic creation.

Another is the countrys 35-hour working week. This means thatmany French workers have more leisure time than their fellows inother countries. Whatever the reason, le scrapbooking has explodedover the last three years and is continuing to grow.

While the Americans and French clearly adore scrapbooks, thisway of collecting and storing memories has a universal appeal topeople of all ages, cultures and interests. Home computing and theInternet now allow an entirely new generation to enjoy the pleasuresof creating their own scrapbooks. No matter what the format of ascrapbook may be like, all scrapbookers share the joy of creating theirown record of special events or experiences in their lives that theyhope will bring joy and understanding to their descendants for decadesto come.

Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow.

Nature

We have neither Summer nor WinterNeither Autumn nor Spring.We have instead the daysWhen the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields-Magnificently.The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs

And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gulliesAnd trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango treesAnd the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.

But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossomWhen the bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey,When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air,When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars

And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.
