Hi! I’m Brazilian and I’m from Rio de Janeiro. It isn’t the capital of Brazil, but it’s famous for its beaches and carnival – it’s a fun city!

HANNA, 15

Hi everyone. I’m from Heidelberg, in Germany. It’s a small historic city with a famous castle, and it’s really nice. I’m interested in online gaming, and English is really useful for that. It’s also an important language in German schools. I’m nearly fluent in speaking English, but the spelling is a nightmare!

Hello from Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Is Seoul big? Yes, it is – the population is nearly 10 million people! South Korea is famous for K-Pop. It’s my favourite music (of course), but I’m a fan of British music too – are you? Korean isn’t an easy language to learn, so English is important for me to chat to you online!

CAMILA, 15

Hi. I’m Spanish and I’m from Barcelona. It’s a beautiful city on the Mediterranean coast, famous for its art, architecture and football team.

1 THINK Read the Study Skill. What do you think the blog post is about?

STUDY SKILL

Before you read

Before you read a text, look at the title and the photos. Try to understand what the topic is, and what kind of information you think is in the text.

I’m pretty good at school work, and I’m also quite sporty − but some people are super-talented, including these five people at my school.

Take Alisha Kent, for example. She’s in my year at school and she’s really clever, especially at Maths. She can multiply long numbers in her head. Her nickname is Einstein, of course! Without a calculator, I’m not very good at Maths, but it’s easy for her. Alisha is also really good at playing chess. She’s in this year’s Yorkshire Schools Chess Championships.

I can’t sing very well and I can’t play musical instruments at all, but my friend Josh is a born musician. He can hear a song once and play it on the piano. He can also play the guitar well. I don’t know why he’s so musical because the rest of his family isn’t muslcal at all. Josh is very good at imitating people’s accents too: he can imitate celebrities and some of our teachers quite well. It’s really funny!

Are you good at writing stories? I’m hopeless at inventing stories, but one girl in my year called Charlotte is very creative, and she can write fantastic stories. They’re all about superheroes and things like that. Charlotte’s also very artistic, so she can illustrate her stories too.

Lin is at my school, and she’s also my neighbour – her house is opposite my house. Lin can cook really well. In fact, she’s this year’s winner of Junior Chef of the North. And she isn’t only good at making Malaysian food (that’s where her family is from), she can make wonderful cupcakes too!

The last of my ‘Fantastic Five’ is a really friendly kid in my class called Lucas. He’s from Holland so his native language is Dutch. But he’s fluent in English too, and he can also speak French and Spanish really well. Languages are easy for him, but not for me. I can only speak one foreign language – French – and only a little.

What can your friends do well?

Write and tell me.

3 What kind of things are the Global Goals about?

The Global Goals for Sustainable Development are 17 important objectives agreed by the leaders of the 193 countries of the United Nations in 2015. The aims of the Goals are to end poverty and inequality and protect the planet for future generations. The Goals are about things like climate change, education, equality, justice and sustainability. We can put them into five categories – the 5Ps: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.

3 024 Read and listen to more information about the Global Goals. Why are they important?

Why are the Global Goals important?

Our planet is precious. We are important. But the population of the Earth is nearly 8 billion people, and this puts pressure on our resources and the environment.

• Approximately 9.5% of the world’s population is extremely poor and vulnerable, and 1 in 9 people are undernourished.

• 785 million people don’t have access to clean water to drink.

• About 71% of our planet is water, so water pollution and overfishing are two very big problems.

• Every year we produce over 2 billion tonnes of waste and most of this is not recyclable.

• Over 1 million animal and plant species risk extinction.

• Gender inequality exists in every country in the world. The Global Goals are important because they can help to solve these problems – and inspire us to help too.

4 Match the words from the text (1-8) to their translations (a-h).

1 billion (L.3) a denutrito

2 environment (L.4) b pesca eccessiva

5 What do these numbers in the text refer to?

a over 1 million c 9.5% e 71%

b over 2 billion d 785 million f 8 billion

6 CRITICAL THINKING Here are five aims of the Global Goals. Put them in order of importance for you (1 = the most important). Then in pairs, compare your answers. Do you agree?

Eliminate poverty

A good education for everyone

Equality between men and women

Access to clean water for everyone

Protect rivers, oceans and forests

What can you do to help?

There are lots of ways you can help – even small things can make a difference. For example, you can...

• buy new clothes only when necessary;

• recycle: separate your waste correctly into plastic, paper, etc.;

• try to reduce the quantity of water you use;

• walk or take public transport to school every day;

• use a reusable water bottle – don’t buy plastic bottles!

• fight discrimination and defend equal rights. Everyone is equal regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, social background or physical abilities.

Our space

by Tara Wilson

What’s your bedroom like? Is there a lot of stuff? Are there things everywhere, or are you a tidy person? Some of my friends’ rooms are tidy and some are a mess! I think rooms reflect the people who live in them. But there are two people in my room – me and my twin sister Jade – and we’re very different!

I’ve got a lot of things, but it’s quite a big room and my side is super tidy. There are shelves and boxes for my books and personal stuff, so there aren’t things all over the floor. My bed is near the windows. There’s a lovely grey rug on the floor, and there are some purple cushions on the bed, so it’s really comfy. There’s also a chair and a desk with a lamp, so I can sit there to do my homework. There isn’t a chest of drawers for my clothes, but that’s OK because there’s a big wardrobe on Jade’s side.

Jade’s half of the room is a mess: there are clothes and make-up and stuff on her bed and on the floor. There aren’t any posters on my side of the room, but the wall behind Jade’s is full of posters of her favourite bands. There’s a mirror on that wall too, but there are photos and stickers all over it. Jade’s also got a small desk, but she can’t study there because there’s a games console and lots of other things on it. So it isn’t a surprise that there’s panic in our room every morning before school because Jade can’t find her homework!

Half of the wardrobe in our room is mine and half is Jade’s. There isn’t a lot of space for all our clothes, but my half of the wardrobe is well-organised – and hers is a disaster!

I’m not very happy about that. Jade says I’m a neat freak It’s not true! Well, maybe a little...

Energy: facts and figures

• The use of energy produces 60% of greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change.

• Globally we generate just over 70% of power from fossil fuels.

tips for an eco-friendly bedroom

Everything we do consumes energy. In the UK some families now choose to live a different lifestyle ‘off-grid’. This means they often live in the countryside far from modern technology and they haven’t got a traditional house or access to electricity or gas. They haven’t even got Internet! Instead, they’ve got solar panels and they produce their own food. Of course, this is quite drastic and not possible for most people. Can you imagine life without the Internet? But is it possible for the rest of us to reduce the energy we consume and be green? Yes, it is! We are in our bedrooms for about 9 hours a day, so that’s a good place to begin. Here are some ideas.

1 Use LED light bulbs, and turn off the lights when you leave the room.

2 Turn off your phone when you go to bed to save the battery.

3 Don’t leave your TV or computer in stand-by and don’t leave chargers in sockets. All these things can be 10% of your total electricity consumption!

4 In winter, turn down your heating and put on a jumper!

5 In summer, turn off air conditioning when you sleep.

6 Match the beginnings of the sentences (1-6) to their endings (a-f).

1 When you leave a room,

2 It’s a good idea to sleep

3 Try not to use synthetics fibres because

4 You can make old furniture look new

5 Bamboo is a good material because

6 You can improve the air in your room

a without air conditioning.

b it grows quickly and it isn’t expensive.

c with plants.

d they aren’t natural or biodegradable.

e turn off the lights.

f with some paint.

7 CRITICAL THINKING Discuss the questions.

1 What other things can you do to use less energy?

You can also do these other things to make your bedroom ‘green’:

6 Wear cotton pyjamas and use cotton sheets and covers. Cotton is natural and biodegradable. Try not to use synthetic fibres where possible.

7 Ask your mum or dad if it’s possible to wash your clothes and sheets with eco-friendly detergents.

8 Think before you buy new things for your room. Can you buy second-hand or recycle your old furniture? Paint it to make it look new and different! And if possible, use eco-friendly zero-VOC paint. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are bad for the environment.

9 If you really need new furniture, if possible, buy things made from a sustainable material like wood or bamboo. Bamboo is good because it grows fast and it’s cheap to buy.

10 Buy a plant. Plants improve air quality, they aren’t expensive and they’re nice to look at!

These are just some ideas, we’re sure you can think of others. Why? Because this is your planet and your future.

Qual è la tua canzone preferita?

Which is your favourite city, Florence or Venice?

Qual è la tua città preferita, Firenze o Venezia?

Which player in the team is the best?

Quale giocatore della squadra è il migliore?
