Text 1: Free Reactions®

Reactions® are suitable for a wide range of single vision, bifocal or varifocal prescriptions. They're usually £49 but right now you can have grey or brown Reactions® free with any pair of glasses from our £75 range or above.

Text 2: Spectacles

A frame which supports lenses held in front of each eye, designed to correct abnormalities of refraction, such as long or short sight, and astigmatism (asymmetry of the cornea). Convex lenses help those who are long-sighted; concave lenses those who are short-sighted. Bifocal spectacles have lenses where the upper and lower parts have different curvatures, enabling the wearer to focus on distant and near objects respectively. See illustration at eye.

D

Oversæt følgende tekst til engelsk.

Nobels fredspris blev indstiftet1 af Alfred Nobel, der paradoksalt nok selv ejede flere våbenfabrikker. Han var blevet inspireret til prisen af en af sine gode venner, som var fredsaktivist. I begyndelsen blev prisen uddelt til personer, der havde arbejdet for international fred i traditionel forstand, men på det seneste er arbejdet for borgerrettigheder og humanitære formål blevet belønnet. Som et eksempel på det sidste modtog Al Gore i 2007 prisen for sit arbejde med at gøre verden opmærksom på menneskets rolle i klimaforandringerne.
