Read speak W & hat is a role model?
1 Read and listen.
What is a role model?
A person you admire, someone you aspire to be like, at present or in the future. Why? Because we like their looks and the way they dress, or we admire their job or successful life.
It may be someone you know and interact with on a regular basis, like your parents, other family members, or friends. Sometimes you choose someone famous, like an actor, musician, author, sports star, humanitarian or entrepreneur.
We tend to copy the behaviour of our role model, so it’s important to choose one who inspires us and brings out the best in us.
Michael Phelps is an
American competition swimmer and the most decorated Olympian of all time, with 22 medals in three
Olympiads. He is my role model.
Danny, 11, New York, USA
My role model is my mother. She is a singer. She is very talented and she encourages me to be creative and hard-working.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (adapted) by Lewis Carroll
When Alice reaches the corner, the White Rabbit is gone.
She finds herself in a long hall lit by lamps in the ceiling. There are doors all the way round, but they are locked. How to get out?
She then sees a little table made of glass. On top of it is a gold key. But it is too small to unlock any of the doors. Then Alice notices a low curtain. Behind it she finds a tiny door. The key fits perfectly!
Alice has to kneel down to look through the door. There is a small passage, not much larger than a rathole, that leads to a wonderful garden. But she is too big to get her head through the doorway.
She walks back to the glass table. To her surprise there is a bottle on it with a label saying DRINK ME in large letters. Alice takes a sip.
It is delicious and tastes like her favourite food. So she drinks it up.
“What a strange feeling!” she says, as she feels herself becoming smaller and smaller. “I’m just the right size to go through the little door into the lovely garden”.
But poor Alice! When she gets to the door, she realises that the gold key is still on top of the glass table, and now she is too small to reach it. She tries to climb up one of the table legs, but it’s too slippery. At last, she sits down and starts crying.
Then she notices a little glass box on the floor, just under the table. Inside there is a very small cake with the words EAT ME beautifully marked on it in currant sauce. (…)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (adapted) by Jeff Kinney
Tonight at dinner dad has told us that his younger brother, uncle
Gary, is getting engaged to his girlfriend, Sonja. I guess that’s great news and everything, but it’s not the first time uncle Gary has got married.This is his third time. In fact, we don’t even use growth charts at home, because we can just look at pictures from uncle Gary’s weddings to keep track of our progress.
So, I think everyone’s a little burned out by now. Uncle Gary is marrying for the third time, but my mother doesn’t even bother to replace his wedding picture on the mantelpiece. She just tapes a photo of the new wife’s head on top of the old one.
Uncle Gary’s not a bad guy or anything. He just rushes into these relationships too quickly. For example. he got engaged to his first wife, Linda, two months after they met, and she didn’t even find out what he does for a living until their wedding day.
I am told that uncle Gary’s wedding is in November, and the reception is taking place at my great-grandmother Gammie’s house, like last time.
Gammie is ninety-five years old, but has been living in the same big house since her childhood. She’s like the official head of the whole Heffley family.
Gammie is one of the only people in the world who still writes letters. And when she writes you a letter she expects you to write one BACK.
I try to explain to her that people my age don’t know how to write letters with a stamp and a “return address” and all that stuff, but she doesn’t wanna hear it.

First of all, let me get something straight. This is a journal, not a diary.
The other thing I want to clear up right away is that this is my mother’s idea, not mine.
But if she thinks I’m going to write down my “feelings” in here or whatever, she’s crazy. So just don’t expect me to be all “Dear Diary” this and “Dear Diary” that.
The only reason I agree to do this at all is because I imagine myself being rich and famous later on and having better things to do than answer people’s silly questions all day long. But for now I’m stuck in middle school.

The Selfish Giant (adapted)
Oscar Wilde
• Born in Dublin on
16th October 1854, the author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde is a popular literary figure from late
Victorian England, known for his brilliant and rich style.
About thE AuthoR
Reading corner
• “The Happy Prince and Other Tales” is a collection of stories for children by Oscar Wilde, first published in
May 1888. It contains five stories.
“The Happy Prince”,
“The Nightingale and the Rose”,
“The Selfish Giant”,
“The Devoted
Friend”, and
“The Remarkable
Rocket”.
About thE stoRY
Every afternoon, as they come from school, the children go and play in the Giant’s garden, because he is away to pay a visit to his cousin.
It is a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stand beautiful flowers like stars, and there are twelve peach-trees that in the springtime break out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bear rich fruit. The birds sit on the trees and sing so sweetly that the children sometimes stop their games in order to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cry to each other.
But one day the Giant comes back. “My own garden is my own garden,” he says.
“Anyone can understand that, and I allow nobody to play in it but myself.” So he builds a high wall all round it. He is a very selfish Giant.
The poor children have now nowhere to play. They try to play on the road, but the road is very dusty and full of hard stones, and they do not like it. They wander round the high wall when their lessons are over, and talk about the beautiful garden inside.
Then the Spring comes, and all over the country there are little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it is still Winter. The birds do not care to sing in it as there are no children, and the trees forget to blossom. Once a beautiful flower puts its head out from the grass, but when it sees no children playing, it slips back into the ground again, and goes off to sleep. The only people pleased are the Snow and the Frost. “Spring is not here in this garden,” they cry,
“so it is ours now!” The Snow covers up the grass with her great white cloak, and the Frost paints all the trees silver. Then they invite the North Wind to stay with them, and he comes. He is wrapped in furs, and he roars all day about the garden, and blows the chimney-pots down. “This is a lovely spot,” he says, “we must ask the Hail on a visit.” So the Hail comes. He is dressed in grey, and his breath is like ice.
“I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,” says the Selfish
Giant, as he sits at the window and looks out at his cold white garden;
“I hope there is a change in the weather soon.”
But the Spring never comes, nor the Summer. The Autumn gives golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gives none.
“He is too selfish,” she says. by Oscar Wilde

There are houses everywhere around the world, but there are no two alike. Countries and regions have different natural characteristics such as climate or landforms, but specific traditions and personal tastes are also important. All these influences affect what houses look like. Some people, though, simply want to be different and choose to live in houses with unusual shapes because of their interests or because they want to transform an ordinary house into something special.
Japan’s open houses are inspired by ancient tree houses. They have exterior walls partly made of glass, and some have several floors. The rooms are open spaces, so that it is easy for the family to see and talk to each other, even if they are in different parts of the house.
People who like skateboarding sometimes become so fond of their hobby that they want their homes to allow full time training. Here we are in Malibu, California, in a house where you can skate on any inside or outside surface. The owner is, of course, a world champion skater who wants to use walls, floors and ceilings as well as furniture, to practise this sport.
1. People live in strange houses for different reasons.
2. The open house in Japan is made of glass.
3. You can only skate on the floors in the skateboard house.
4. Everything looks normal inside the upside-down house.

If you visit the Austrian village of Terfens, make sure to enter the upside-down house where every room is decorated so that you get the impression that it is upside-down.
There are different furniture items inside
(such as the toilet seat or the bath tub in the bathroom, or the bed and shelves in the bedroom) that are attached to the ceiling for a better effect. The house stands on its roof and even the flower pots at the windows give the impression that they are the wrong way up.

The Railway Children (adapted)
Edith Nesbit
• Edith Nesbit
(1858 – 1924) was a
British author and poet, best known for her children’s books. She is known as “the first modern writer for children”, combining realworlds settings with magical elements in her stories.
AbouT ThE AuThoR
Reading corner
• “The Railway
Children” first appeared as a book in 1906. It follows the adventures of three siblings,
Roberta, Peter and
Phyllis, who have to leave London and move to the countryside with their mother, once their father is falsely accused of spying.
AbouT ThE book
There are three of them. Roberta is the eldest (and possibly Mother’s favourite).
Next comes Peter, who wishes to be an Engineer when he grows up; and the youngest is Phyllis, who means extremely well.
Mother is almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she writes stories for them while they are at school, and reads them aloud after tea, and she is always making up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house.
These three lucky children have everything they need. pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog called
James. They also have a Father who is just perfect – never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game.
On his tenth birthday, among other presents, Peter finds the best model engine you could have ever dreamed of. The other presents are full of charm, but the Engine is fuller of charm than any of the others are.
Its charm lasts in its full perfection for exactly three days. Then, owing either to
Peter's inexperience or Phyllis's good intentions, which are known to be rather pressing, or to some other cause, the Engine suddenly goes off with a bang.
All Peter's hopes for the curing of his broken
Engine are now fixed on his Father, for Father is most wonderfully clever with his fingers. He can mend all sorts of things.
After dinner that night, while Peter brings what is left of the Engine, Mother says to Father, “Now, dear, if you're quite rested, and quite comfy, we want to tell you about the great railway accident, and ask your advice.”
“Hum,” says Father, when he looks the Engine over very carefully.
The children hold their breaths.
“Is there NO hope?” says Peter, in a low voice.
“Hope? Rather! Tons of it,” says Father, cheerfully. “I'll give up Saturday afternoon to it, and you shall all help me.”
“CAN girls help to mend engines?” Peter asks not believing it.
“Of course they can. Girls are just as clever as boys, and don't you forget it! How would you like to be an engine-driver, Roberta?”
“I should just love it,” says Roberta – “do you think I could when I'm grown up,
Daddy? Or even a stoker?”
“You mean a fireman,” says Daddy. “Well, if you still wish it, when you're grown up, we'll see about making you a fire-woman.” by E. Nesbit

Do you think I need some special accessories, too?
Only a pair of earrings and a bracelet.
Don’t forget to take a small handbag!

The Riverbank (adapted)
Kenneth Grahame
• Born in Edinburgh in 1859, Kenneth
Grahame was a
British writer, best known for “The
Wind in the
Willows” (1908) - a collection of bedtime stories written for his young son, Alastair.
About thE AuthoR
Reading corner
• “The Wind in the
Willows” follows the adventures of
Mole, Ratty,
Badger and Toad, four animals with human qualities living in the English countryside at the beginning of the
20th century.
About thE book
The Mole is working hard this morning, spring-cleaning his little home. There are splashes of whitewash all over his black fur. His back aches and his arms are tired.
It is spring in the world outside. Mole can feel the fresh air and sunshine calling to him in the dark, underground burrow.
Suddenly he throws his brush down. He rushes out of the house and goes up the narrow tunnel that is his front entrance. “Up we go! Up we go!” At last - pop! his snout comes out into the sunlight, and he finds himself rolling in the warm grass of a great field.
“This is fine! It’s so much better than whitewashing!” he says, running joyfully across the field.
Suddenly he gets to the bank of the river. Gosh! It’s the first time he sees the river.
The water is full of life and sparkles. Mole sits down on the grassy bank and listens to the sound of the water. As he looks at the opposite bank, he sees something moving behind a bush. Then a small face appears. A brown little face with whiskers, small ears and thick silky hair. It’s the Water Rat.
The animals stand and look at each other.
“Hello, Mole!”
“Hello, Rat!”
“Would you like to come over?”
“How can I get to you?”
The rat steps down and unfastens a rope. He pushes a little boat into the river. It’s
just the right size for two animals. He rows across, and gives Mole his paw to step carefully down into it.
The two animals make friends at once. Water Rat explains why he loves the river so much.
“It’s my world and I don’t want any other.”
“But isn’t it a bit boring sometimes?” asks Mole. “Just you and the river, and nobody else?”
“Nobody else? You’re joking! It’s full of people – too many of them sometimes.”
“What’s over there?” asks Mole, waving a paw towards a dark forest, beyond the fields.
“Oh, that’s just the Wild Wood. We don’t go there much, we Riverbankers.”
“And beyond the Wild Wood?”
“Beyond the Wild Wood comes the Wide World, and that’s something that doesn’t matter to you or to me.” by Kenneth Grahame

Rowling is most commonly known as the author of the famous “Harry Potter” series. She is hardworking and I also admire her for her charity donations to people in need. She has blonde hair, she is of medium height, slim, she has a pearly-white smile and gentle blue eyes. I think she is an amazing writer, a great storyteller, with an incredible imagination.

Nutritionists consider it is important to keep a correct diet if we want to stay healthy.
What is the best “healthy eating” plate for both kids and adults? Follow these tips.
Half of this plate must consist of colourful vegetables and fruits, and the other half must be whole grains and healthy protein.
1. Drinking fruit juice is better than eating whole fruit to stay healthy.
2. Less processed grains are healthy.
3. We can take proteins from seeds, fish and nuts.
4. We need dairy products in large quantities.
5. Sugary drinks and fruit juice are better than water for your health.
Match the two columns to form expressions, then use them in sentences.
2 Mark the sentences T (true) or F (false). 3
1. colourful
2. sugary
3. correct
4. dairy
5. whole
6. healthy a. diet b. protein c. grains d. drinks e. fruit f. products
Fruits and vegetables of different colours bring different nutritious substances to your body. Choose whole fruit or slices of fruit instead of fruit juice.
Eat products made of whole grains (bread or other baked goods); less processed food is healthy for you and helps digestion.
Choose healthy proteins taken from peas, seeds, nuts, eggs, chicken and fish. Eat less red meat and avoid processed products such as bacon or hot dogs.
Use healthy oils that come from seeds, plants or fish and limit dairy consumption - milk, cheese, butter - to small quantities that are sugar free.
As our bodies contain more than 70% water, drink plenty of water and limit sugary drinks or fruit juices to a small glass a day.
Finally, physical activity is as important as the food we choose to eat. So choose to have an active life style. Then both your body and your mind will develop in a healthy way.

Millions (adapted) by Frank Cottrell-Boyce

“Millions”, appeared in 2004 and won the annual Carnegie

• “Millions” follows the adventures of two brothers,
Damian and
Anthony
Cunningham, who only have a few days to spend millions of pounds, before the fictional British adoption of the euro.
About thE book
In the dining hall, a boy on Hot Dinners comes and waggles his burger under my nose. All the people round the table laugh. Anthony, my brother, comes and sits by me and they all stop. We have ham and tomato sandwiches and two small tubes of
Pringles. I say, “I’m excellent. What about you?”
He whispers, “You are attracting everyone’s attention. You need to blend in more.
People are laughing at you.”
“I don’t mind being laughed at. Persecution is good for you.”
The huge boy with the freckly neck comes and sits down. His belly moves the end of the table and my tube of Pringles rolls towards him. He picks it up and opens it.
“They’re his,” says Anthony, pointing at me.
“And who are you?” asks Freckle Neck.
“I’m his big brother.”
“You’re not that big. All Pringles belong to me.” A dandruff of crumbs fall from his mouth. “School policy.”
“You can’t take his Pringles. He’s got no mum.”
“How can he have no mum? Everyone’s got a mum. Even people who’ve got no dad have got a mum. I’m enjoying these, by the way.”
“She’s dead,” says Anthony.
Freckle Neck stops crunching and hands my Pringles back. He says his name is
Barry. “Nice to meet you, Barry.” Anthony offers him his hand to shake. Anthony believes in making friends. “Where do you live?” he asks.
“Over the bridge, next to the twenty-four hour.”
“Now that,” says Anthony, “is a very sought-after area. Very sought-after.”
***
When we get home, Dad and Anthony start to eat their food straight from the plastic trays. I go and get plates and knives and forks. “Damian, don’t bother. It’s late. We don’t want to be clearing up. Here, have some rice.”
I carry on setting the table. “Damian…”
“We’ve got to do things properly. That’s the point.”
“What point?”
“You say we’ve got to do things properly. We’ve got to be excellent. You’re always saying that. And now you’re eating out of the trays.” I am shouting now. “Sit at the table!”
Dad tries to calm me down. “Damian, you think you’re upset, but really you’re just hungry.”
“I’m not hungry. I just want us to sit at the table like a proper family. And do things right.”
“OK, but promise to eat a bit – like a proper family.”
“OK, then.”

THE DOG WHISPERER
Cesar Millan is a Mexican-American who loves dogs more than anything in the world. He even introduces himself in a “doggy” way. “If you are wondering what breed I am, I’m Mexican, if you are wondering anything else, come to my blog!” he says. Actually, he is well known as the “Dog Whisperer” after a television series produced between 2004 and 2012. He helps aggressive dogs change their behaviour and create better relationships with humans.
Cesar recommends handling a dog with ‘a calm energy’ and this is only possible when the owner is a calm person in the interaction with his pet. Cesar thinks a dog’s most important three needs are. exercise, discipline and affection - and precisely in this order.
When working with a dog, Cesar uses vocal marks, gestures and body language to communicate; he rarely talks or says the dog’s name. He thinks dogs sense, understand and react better to man’s energy than speech.
One of Cesar’s many dogs is an American Pit Bull Terrier named Junior, who helps him cure other dogs with calm energy. Junior learned things from Daddy, one of Cesar’s dogs who is not alive anymore.

Shel Silverstein
• Shel Silverstein was an American poet, songwriter, cartoonist, and author of children's books, born in
Chicago in 1930.
His books were translated into more than 30 languages. “The
Giving Tree” was published in 1964, and was illustrated by Silverstein himself.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Reading corner
• “The Giving Tree” is a children’s picture book about the relationship between an apple tree and a boy, throughout their lives.
ABOUT THE BOOK
There is a tree... and she loves a little boy. And every day the boy comes and he gathers her leaves and makes them into crowns and plays king of the forest. He climbs up her trunk and swings from her branches and eats apples. And they play hide-and-go-seek. And when he is tired, he sleeps in her shade. And the boy loves the tree... very much. And the tree is happy. But time goes by. And the boy grows older. And the tree is often alone.
Then one day the boy comes to the tree and he says. “I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money.”
“I'm sorry”, says the tree, “but I have no money. I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in the city, to have money and be happy.” And so the boy climbs up the tree and gathers her apples and carries them away. And the tree is happy.
But the boy stays away for a long time... and the tree is sad. One day the boy comes back and asks for a house. The tree tells him to cut off her branches and build a house, to be happy.
And so the boy cuts off her branches and carries them away to build his house. And the tree is happy.
But the boy stays away for a long time. And when he comes back he asks for a boat. And so the boy cuts down the tree trunk and makes a boat and sails away. And the tree is happy... but not really.
And after a long time the boy comes back again.
“I am sorry, Boy, I want to give you something... but I have nothing left. I am
just an old stump. I am sorry... ”.
“I don't need very much now,” says the boy. “Just a quiet place to sit and rest.
I am very tired.”
“Well”, says the tree, straightening herself up as much as she can, “well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest.” And the boy does. And the tree is happy.

Polar bears are the largest land carnivores in the world, weighing 350-700 kilograms. They spend most of their time on the sea ice of the
Arctic Ocean. These bears have thick fur that covers their body to protect it from the cold.
They have long necks, probably to warm up the air they breathe, and large feet to help them swim. Polar bears feed mostly on seals and sometimes travel very long distances for their prey.
Humans are the only predators of polar bears.
Pollution and global warming put their lives in danger.

Turtles Polar bears
Turtles are one of the oldest group of reptiles on our planet. They live in every ocean, except the Arctic and the Antarctic, so they are adapted to different climates. The smallest turtle is 7-
10 centimeters long and the largest can grow up to 2.5 meters long and 907 kilograms.
Turtles are very sensitive. they have excellent sense of hearing, smell and touch. When they feel the touch of a predator, they retract immediately inside their shell for protection.
They are in danger because the fishermen’s nets can catch them by accident. People also kill some species of turtles for their shells, meat or for their eggs, considered a food delicacy.

My favourite wild animal

Hi, I’m back to tell you about my favourite wild animal. I really love tigers! They are mammals, so they have babies they feed with their own milk. Well, I say “babies”, but they’re actually called “cubs”.
Tigers are the largest and one of the most endangered species of the “big cats”! There are 11 types of tigers – unfortunately, three are already extinct.
My favourite is the Siberian tiger, which is the largest of all (and very impressive, if you ask me)! It lives in the cold forests of southeast Russia, China and North Korea.
It has a strong body and a long tail. The legs have got large paws with sharp claws to catch its prey. It also has strong jaws. Fun fact. there are no two tigers alike, because each set of stripes is unique! Isn’t that amazing?
Most tigers live in protected areas now, because people are trying to save them from extinction. There are only around 5000 tigers left in the wild!
Let’s make a campaign to save the tigers! Who’s with me?
David Roth
Save the tigers!
Layla said... blog archive posted by
Hi, I’m Layla and I live in Java, Indonesia. I am totally for this campaign! Let’s make it a campaign to save all endangered species living in the wild! The Javan rhino, for example – there are approximately 60 left in the wild. Rhinos are large, heavily built animals with thick skin. They have a shoulder bump formed from strong muscles. They also have a horn for fighting and defence. They look scary but they are very peaceful animals that only eat leaves and grass.
Rhinos are endangered because people hunt them for their horns, which are used in
Asian medicine. This is so unfair! So yes, let’s get this campaign started!

The Jungle Book. Mowgli’s Brothers (adapted) by Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling
• (1865 – 1936) was a
British author born in Bombay, India. In
1907, at the age of
42, he was the first
English-language writer to receive the
Nobel Prize for
Literature. His works include shortstories, novels, newspaper articles and poems.

• “The Jungle Book” is a collection of stories first published in 1894, which became
Kipling’s best known work. The main character is
Mowgli, a little
Indian boy who is raised in the
jungle by wolves.
About the book
It is seven o’clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf wakes up from his day’s rest. “It is time to hunt again,” he says to Mother Wolf. He is getting ready to go when a little shadow with a bushy tail crosses the threshold.
It is the jackal, Tabaqui, and the wolves of India hate Tabaqui because he runs about telling tales, and eating from the village rubbish-heaps.
“Shere Khan, the Big One, is changing his hunting grounds. He is hunting among these hills for the next moon, so he says.”
Shere Khan is the tiger who lives near the Waingunga River, twenty miles away.
“He has no right!” Father Wolf begins angrily, “to change his quarters without warning.” The Law of the Jungle says than no beast can eat Man. The reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs and rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers.
“Something is coming uphill,” says Mother Wolf, twitching one ear. “Get ready.”
“Man!” says Father Wolf suddenly. “A man’s cub. Look!” Directly in front of him, holding on by a low branch, there is a brown baby who can just walk. He looks up into Father Wolf’s face, and laughs.
“Is that a man’s cub? Bring it here. How little and how bold!” says Mother Wolf softly. The baby is pushing his way between the cubs to get close to the warm hide.
The moonlight cannot come through the mouth of the cave, for Shere Khan’s large head and shoulders are blocking the entrance. Tabaqui, behind him, is squeaking.
“My lord, my lord, it is in here!”
“Shere Khan does us great honour,” says Father Wolf, but his eyes are very angry.
“What does Shere Khan need?”
“A man’s cub is here,” said Shere Khan. “Give it to me.”
“The Wolves only take orders from the Head of the Pack,” said Father Wolf “and not from any striped cattle-killer. The man’s cub is ours – to kill if we choose.”
The tiger’s roar fills the cave with thunder. Mother Wolf springs forward, her eyes, like two green moons in the darkness, facing the blazing eyes of Shere Khan.
“And it is I, Raksha, who answers. The man’s cub is mine! He is not to be killed. He is to live, to run with the Pack and to hunt with the Pack; and in the end, he is to hunt you! Now go!”
Father Wolf looks on amazed. Shere Khan can face Father Wolf, but he cannot stand up against Mother Wolf, for he knows that she has all the advantage of the ground, and fights to the death. So he backs out of the cave, mouth growling, and when he is clear he shouts. “Each dog barks in his own yard! We can ask the Pack about this fostering of man-cubs. The cub is mine!
Mother Wolf throws herself down panting among the cubs, and Father Wolf says to her gravely. “Shere Khan speaks this much truth. The cub must be shown to the
Pack.”

Mary is very skilled at drawing. She’s really got talent.
She certainly has. And she can also paint very well. I can barely draw some stick men and I can’t paint at all. Can you?
I’m not sure. I’m definitely not as talented as Mary, but my Art teacher says I’m quite good at painting.
I can sing very well, though. I can also play the piano and the violin.
I’m afraid I can’t sing either or play any instrument. I’m keen on doing sports instead. I can run fast, jump high and play tennis very well.

Sports are fascinating, let’s face it! People love them and enjoy practising or at least watching them. Some of us are always ready to come up with new ideas for new sports and add new features just for fun. Here are some examples of unusual sports around the world.
Do you know what a kite is? Of course you do, as all children play with them. Kiting is an extreme sport. What you need is a kite, a board and a surface of water, sand or even snow. But the most important element to make the kite fly is the wind.
Another sport producing a lot of adrenaline is barefooting, which, of course doesn’t only mean wearing no shoes. It is similar to water skiing but you don’t use any skis. So, the sportsperson holds on to a rope connected to a motorboat that can reach up to 70 kilometres per hour and simply slides on water.
Free running or parkour is the art of running and jumping over obstacles. You don’t need special equipment and you can practise it anywhere you find obstacles that are good for you to jump over. It is a way to teach people how to face their fears.

Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja (adapted) by Marcus Emerson
Marcus Emerson
• Marcus Emerson
(real name. David
Halvorson) is an
American author of children’s books born in Seoul, South
Korea, in 1981. He now lives in
Davenport, Iowa, where he is a full time writer and dreams of becoming an astronaut and walking on Mars.

• “Diary of a 6th
Grade Ninja” was first self-published by the author in
2012. It follows the adventures of
Chase Cooper, a
6th grade kid who is recruited by a ninja clan on his first day at a new school.
ABout thE Book
I’m turning back to Zoe and I tap her on her shoulder.
“Hey, can I ask you something? I think I need help. It’s about my ninja clan.”
“Ohhhhh,” Zoe sighs. “Nerd stuff. I’m still not interested in joining, if that’s what you’re asking.”
“No, nothing like that. I think that maybe I’m not cut out to be their leader…”
Zoe says “Go on.”
“Those kids are bored with me, and I’m not sure how to cheer them up! All we do is train every day.”
“Nothing wrong with that.”
“No, you’re right, but I can tell they all want a little more excitement. And I don’t know how to give it to them.”
“What do they like doing?” Zoe asks.
“Stealing stuff and trying to blame it on you”, I reply.
“Ohhhhhh, riiiiight. Yeah, I think it’s smart not to do that kind of stuff again.”
“Me too”, I say. “I spent most of last night studying up leadership and stuff. It suggests I start with communicating the problem with the group and then hearing them out. Like ask for their opinions and ideas.”
“Maybe it’s just me…”, Zoe starts saying with one eyebrow raised high, “but a ninja clan can’t be ruled like some club or something! I think that’s the lamest and most boring ninja clan in the entire history of ninja clans.”
Zoe is making a good point, but it doesn’t help me feel any better. The ninjas are getting bored, and I’m determined to find a way they can become useful, even if it means having lame meetings and brainstorming sessions. Nothing I am doing feels like it works anyways, so what can it hurt?
“What do ninjas do?” Zoe asks. “Don’t they just sit around, hiding for hours in dark shadows until the target comes around? And then, don’t they just go nuts in a blaze of black smoke and burn villages down?” The next day, I put on my ninja outfit, I walk out expecting to see the ninjas waiting for me. I can’t wait to hear some suggestions from the other ninjas. When I step out, I see that half of the clan is absent. The half that is there punch their palms and bow to me. I bow back.
“Is there something else going on today that I don’t know about?”
A shorter member steps forward and stares at the ground. “Sir,” he says softly. “The others want to walk away from this. They think it’s time for them to hang up their ninja robes and move on! It means better things.”
The next day at school I see a rolled up paper beneath my seat. Please be from a girl!
“Salutations Chase,
Be in the boys locker room during gym class today or suffer the consequences.
The Captain”

We can’t just watch the dog all summer. How about flying to Kenya, see wild animals for real?

Hi Pearl,
How are things? I’m on holiday at the Dead Sea with my parents and my cousins. This place is amazing!
We’re staying at a five star hotel. Our room is huge, with a wonderful view of the sea. The spa is my favourite place.
Right now I’m on the beach, sunbathing. My cousins are swimming in the sea. They are actually floating because of the salty water. It’s really funny! Mum is reading a magazine and dad is playing volleyball with my sister. It’s very hot but it’s a great place!
It’s really an unusual place for a holiday, but my parents always choose interesting holiday destinations.
Can’t wait to see you! I’ve got tons of wonderful pictures to show you! Bye now!
Best wishes,
Beverly
The Dead Sea water and mineral rich types of mud are known for their healing and relaxing powers. The salt water is so thick, you can float on it while reading a book.

Robinson Crusoe. first weeks on the island (adapted) by Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Reading corner
• “Robinson Crusoe” tells the story of a man's shipwreck on a desert island for twenty-eight years.
During this time, he encounters cannibals and he befriends one of their escaped prisoners, Friday, who becomes his loyal companion.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The sky is black and there is a flash of lightning. Huge waves come over the side of the ship. There is a small island close to us, so we get in the smaller boat and try to get to the shore. But, the waves are huge and they throw us from the boat.
We are all underwater now. I swim as fast as I can. The waves throw me to the shore. I can’t breathe. I can’t swim anymore. I’m too tired. But then I feel a rock under my feet. My last efforts are put into getting to the shore. I’m finally there, thank God!
It’s my first night on the island, after the terrible storm. I am completely alone, but
I must be happy I’m alive.
I’m afraid of wild animals, so I climb a tree. All I have is a knife, a pipe, and some tobacco. I can’t sleep. I am listening to the strange sounds around me. birds screaming and things moving around me.
It’s morning already. Now I can see a part of our ship, in the water, not far away from the beach. I swim out to it and climb on board.
“Hey! Anyone there?” No answer. There is no one here. I start looking for things that can help me survive until the next ship passes by. There are some guns, gunpowder, some bread, sugar, rum and flour. I have to build a small raft to carry the things to the shore. I use some broken pieces of wood from the ship and it’s done!
There’s a small cave in a sandy rock on the beach. I start looking for things that can help me survive until the next ship passes by.
Then, I walk around to explore the island. I manage to get to the highest part of the island and I can look around to check the whole area. The island is quite large, but there are no people on it. Or at least, it looks like it. There are no boats at sea, either.
I really have to look for fresh water to be able to survive. Oh, God! Why is this happening to me? Is it because my father is angry with me? Why am I so unlucky at sea? But, I’m still alive! I’m sure there is a good reason for that.
I now begin to consider seriously my condition, and the circumstances I am in. I begin to comfort myself as well as I can, and to set the good against the evil.
But I am alive; and not drowned, as all my friends on the ship.
But I am the only one, too, from all the ship’s crew, to be saved from death; and He that miraculously saved me from death has a plan for me.
But I am not starving on a distant island, with no support.
But I am in a hot climate, where I don’t need many clothes to wear.
But I am on an island where I see no wild beasts to hurt me.
• Daniel Defoe
(1660-1731) was a
British trader,
journalist, writer and spy. He wrote more than five hundred books, essays and journals, using at least 198 pen names, but his most famous work is “Robinson
Crusoe,” first published in 1719.

I am on a horrible, desolate island, with no hope of recovery.
I am alone and separated from all the world.
I am away from my beloved ones, from human society.
I have no clothes to cover me.

Like all the planets in the Solar System, the Earth spins on its own axis and it also orbits the Sun. These two movements cause the difference between day and night and the changing of the seasons.
The Earth takes 365 days, 5 hours and 48 minutes to orbit the Sun.
On 21st March and 21st September, days and nights are the same length–both 12 hours. This is called an equinox.
Every four years, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28.
This is called a leap year.
The Earth is divided into 24 different time zones by imaginary lines that go from pole to pole. Each time zone is one hour different from its neighbours, with the Greenwich Meridian at the centre.
The Earth is divided into two halves. the northern and southern hemispheres. The equator is the imaginary line that separates the two hemispheres. When it is summer in the north, it is winter in the south.

Types of food
Calcium is good for your diet, and the easiest way to get it is from dairy products, such as milk or cheese. If you’re lactose intolerant, however, they can cause adverse reactions, from bloating to more serious abdominal pain.
Fruits and vegetables are high in fibre and have a significant water content. This means they can reduce constipation and lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes, but consuming large amounts can, at first, lead to digestive problems, including bloating and gas.
Whole grains are known to lower your risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes, as well as help you maintain a healthy weight. But this is not a miracle cure; sometimes grains can be hard on your digestion, especially if you eat them raw (as in soaked oats). Some people are even allergic to the gluten in grains such as wheat or barley.
Meat consumption can be very beneficial for you – as long as you eat it in small quantities, choose lean varieties, and you cook it and chew it properly. Otherwise, it can be difficult to digest, and may cause pains and abdominal discomfort.
High-fat and fried food has low fibre and poor water content, which makes it unhealthy for our digestion system. Among the digestive problems it can cause are acid reflux and heartburn. It can also lead to high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes.
Everyone loves a treat, but processed sugars – sweets, chocolate, biscuits, sugary cereals, soft drinks and of course, white sugar itself
– can be hard on your digestion. Most processed foods pile on unnecessary calories, while giving you little nutritional value. Try sticking to fruit instead.
Interesting facts – exercise 2
The digestive system
The digestive system breaks down the food that you eat into something that your body can use.
In the stomach and the small intestine, food is broken down into simpler substances. Other organs, such as the pancreas and the liver, help in this process, too.
Food starts off in the mouth. It is crushed and chewed by the teeth, with the help of the tongue and saliva.
The food is turned into a ball ready for swallowing.
The ball passes quickly through the oesophagus. Within 10 seconds, it reaches the stomach.
The food stays in the stomach for 3-6 hours.
The digestive process continues in the small intestine for 5-6 hours.
After that, the liquid food passes into the large intestine, where it stays for 12-24 hours.
It’s a day long journey, if you do the maths!

1. The Aztecs
Hi, I’m Ullia and I live with my Aztec family in Tenochtitlan, the capital city and centre of the Aztec Empire. The year is 1325.
My father works as a farmer and my mum cooks and takes care of us. Aztecs are really good farmers and craftsmen. They are also very intelligent. They know a lot about the motion of the stars and they build big stepped pyramids in honour of our gods. Our people transport goods by boat and they are very good hunters.
My friends and I, we go to school every day. Boys and girls go to separate schools. Girls learn about religion, singing and dancing. We also learn how to cook and make clothing. Boys usually learn how to farm or learn a craft such as pottery or feather-work. They also learn about religion and how to fight as warriors.
Aztec children are well mannered and always try to behave nicely.
We do not whine, do not make fun of the old or the sick, and do not interrupt.
In the afternoon we play games. The most popular game is a board game called Patolli. Players move their pieces around a board by rolling dice. Another popular game is Ullamalitzli. This s a ball game played with a rubber ball on a court. Players have to pass the ball around using their hips, shoulders, heads and knees. The Aztec
Empire is really big and our Emperor has a strong army.
2. Ancient Egypt
The year is 980 BC (well, this is how you’d put it...). I’m Arsinoë and
I live in Egypt, on the banks of the river Nile, in northeast Africa.
The pharaoh rules our empire. He is really strong and powerful.
We live in a house made of mud bricks. Every day, my father goes hunting and fishing on the river Nile. Other men work as farmers or craftsmen.
Egyptians are very clever. They are really good at Maths and they can build gigantic pyramids made entirely of stone.
They build boats and transport food and other goods along the river.
I don’t go to school, but I help my family around the house every day.

I’m Aurelius and I live in Rome. The year is 60. My family is rich and we own a villa. I live with my mother, my father, my sister and our slaves. My older brother with his wife and children live with us, too.
Family is very important to us.
My sister and I go to school every day. We study Maths, Grammar,
History and Literature. We have a break at noon, for lunch, then we go back to school for classes. We use wax-covered boards to write on.
In the evening, once at home, we play with our pets and toys. We also love playing board and ball games. I spend a lot of time with my older brother. He sometimes takes me to the agora, so I can listen to wise men speaking.
Our father loves watching performances at open-air theatres in his spare time. He loves gladiator tournaments. Only, he doesn’t have much spare time. He is very busy talking in the Senate every day.

1. Can flying squirrels really fly?
No, but they can glide from tree to tree. When the flying squirrel leaps into the air, it stretches out the skin flaps at the sides of its body, which act like a parachute!
2. Which is the fastest cat?
The cheetah is the fastest running cat and one of the speediest of all animals over short distances. It can run at 104 kilometres an hour over a distance of 200 metres – more than twice as fast as humans.

An okapi is a relative of the giraffe that lives in the African rainforest.
The male has a small horn on its head and a long tongue like a giraffe’s, but it does not have a long neck.
4. What is a wombat?
A wombat is a small bear-like marsupial with a heavy body and short, strong legs. It digs burrows to shelter in, using its strong teeth and claws.
5. Is a platypus a marsupial?

The Olympic Games are one of the planet’s greatest sports competition. Every four years, the world is focused on the city that is hosting the games. Many countries on all the continents, represented by thousands of athletes take part in hundreds of different sports events.
The Olympic games have a long history, being officially held for the first time in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French sportsman and educator, is considered to be the founder of the Modern Olympics. He proposed in 1892 to restart the games, in an attempt to bring people together and encourage international sporting competition.
The best-known symbol of the Games is the Olympic flag which is composed of five differently coloured rings (blue, yellow, black, green and red) on a white background. The interlocking rings show that the whole planet can come together in peace for the Olympic competition.
The Olympic flame represents the purity of the Olympic ideal. It is lit at Olympia, the site of the ancient games and carried across the
Globe.
The Olympic motto is “faster, higher, stronger” pointing to athletic excellence, but taking part is just as important as winning.
The Paralympics, a championship for disabled athletes, takes place immediately after the Summer Games, in the same host city.

On our amazing planet, we can climb 8,848 metres high to the summit of Mount Everest or go down 1,602 metres under the surface to the world’s deepest cave.
We can sail on the planet’s widest lake or journey across the largest continent.
The Nile in northeast Africa is 6,617 kilometres long and is the longest river in the world.
The largest freshwater lake is Lake Superior, one of the Great Lakes of North America. There are around 50 lighthouses to warn sailors along Lake Superior’s 4,300 kilometres of shoreline. Over 200 rivers flow into the lake!
The deepest lake in the world is Lake Baikal, in Siberia, eastern
Russia. It holds more water than all of the five North American Great
Lakes combined!
The lowest point on land is the shoreline of the Dead Sea, between
Israel and Jordan. It is 400 metres below the sea level of the
Mediterranean Sea. The Dead Sea is like an inland lake and is almost nine times saltier than the ocean. This explains why there are almost no creatures living in it!
The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from all around the world for thousands of years. It was one of the world's first health resorts.
People also use the salt and the minerals from the Dead Sea to create cosmetics.
The water in the Dead Sea is so salty that it makes swimming similar to floating.
The biggest continent
From the biggest one to the smallest. Asia, Africa, North America,
South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia. All these continents lie on different plates. They constantly move, slowly changing the face of the Earth. But don’t worry! They only move a few millimetres a year.
The largest island in the world is Greenland.
The largest Ocean is the Pacific. It covers a third of the earth’s surface. There are four other oceans in the world. Atlantic, Indian,
Southern and Arctic, in descending order of size.
