The Eskimoes have many ways
of resisting the Arctic winter like rubbing blubber on their faces, wearing
many layers of caribou skin, building up body fat and ensuring that their
igloos are well-heated and insulated. ( from “English for further
education” – Constance Hawkins / Roger Strangwick )
Many Eskimoes no longer live as they used to. They
live in houses, and they work in factories and for American oil companies. Many
Eskimoes have become completely Americanised – they wear Western clothes, they
go to school, and most of them speak English. Instead of hunting and fishing,
they buy food from supermarkets: they even buy frozen meat and vegetables.(
from “Meanings into words”- Adrian Doff,
Christopher Jones and Keith Mitchell )
