c i r t n e c c E s e m o H A a lighthouse in England

Is it true? Are all British homes small, identical houses with gardens? Of course not! British people love eccentric things and there are hundreds of unusual homes in Britain. Here are two of our favourites.

1 The Wallis family haven’t got a TV or Wi-Fi. They haven’t got a kitchen or bedrooms in their home. Their house is a yurt, a type of big tent from Mongolia. Inside the yurt there is only one room. This room is the living room, the kitchen, the study and all of the family’s bedrooms! There’s a door but it hasn’t got windows. There isn’t a bathroom but outside in the garden there is a toilet and an open-air hot tub. ‘When I’m in the hot tub at night there are hundreds of stars,’ says Matt Wallis, aged 11, ‘It’s so cool!’

B a yurt in Wales 2 Jane Norton and her parents have got a very unusual home in England: a lighthouse from 1850. It has got three floors. The entrance is on the ground floor. Downstairs, there is a living room, a small kitchen and a dining area. Upstairs, on the first floor, there’s Jane’s parents’ bedroom and a small bathroom. Jane’s room is very small and it’s on the second floor. ‘We’ve got photos of our lighthouse in 1852!’, says Jane, ‘It’s nearly 170 years old!’

THE SPARK

Zac Bowman is here at Redland School on the Year 7 US Exchange Programme. Helen Kennedy asks him about a typical day at his school in Charlottesville, Virginia. In my school there are about 1,200 students, 300 in each grade or year. In the USA we start junior high school at 11 or 12 years old, and we finish at 15 years old. I’m in the 7th grade and there are 22 students in my class. My school day starts at 7.35 a.m. I get up at 6.15 a.m. I have breakfast and then I walk to school. I’ve got 8 different subjects on my timetable this year. I study Science, English, Maths, Spanish, History and Theatre Arts, then I’ve also got two optional subjects – Art and Physical Education. We don’t study Music in my school.

Students go home at 2 p.m., or they stay for an activity period – they do homework or extra study – and then go home at 3 p.m. We also stay after school two or three afternoons a week to play sports or go to clubs. Our lunch time is about 40 minutes. We have lunch in the school canteen. My sister is a senior student and she doesn’t have lunch in the canteen, she goes home. We don’t wear a uniform but there is a dress code – no short skirts, no ripped jeans. All of the students have got a locker at school for their books, backpack and personal possessions.

The number of its museums. Everybody knows the British Museum with the Egyptian mummies, but equally popular are the National Gallery, the Natural History Museum with its incredible display of dinosaurs and fossils, the Science Museum, the Tate Gallery and the Tate Modern.

My name is Innes. It’s an old Celtic name, and it means ‘island’. The Celts were the ancient inhabitants of Scotland. Their language, Scottish Gaelic, is very different from English. Everybody knows Scotland for its beautiful mountains, forests, very old castles and lakes. I’m sure you know Loch Ness – loch in Scottish means ‘lake’ – famous for its monster Nessie. I live in the north, which is really wonderful. In summer it is light until 11.30 p.m. and in winter you can sometimes see the Northern Lights. I live in a very quiet place but most people live in big cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow – which is the biggest city in the country – or Aberdeen. The capital city is Edinburgh. I love it, especially in August, when there’s the International festival, with lots of music and dance in the streets. I come from a very proud Scottish family. My grandfather plays the traditional instrument, the bagpipes, my dad wears his kilt on special occasions, and I play shinty, the traditional game of the Highlands.

Hi, I’m Dylan, from Swansea. Like the Scots, the Welsh have Celtic origins – Dylan is the name of the god of the sea – and we love our traditions. We are a bilingual country, and Welsh is a compulsory subject for all children from 5 to 16. However, only a quarter of the people can speak it. Welsh is a difficult language, with many long and difficult words. In the past, Wales was important for its coal mines, but now the main industry is tourism. My favourite city is Cardiff, the capital. Tourists from all over the world come here to visit the medieval castle and the churches. But what I love most about Cardiff is the Millennium Stadium, the largest stadium in Wales, where I go to watch football and rugby matches.

A must-see in my city is Titanic Belfast, a kind of museum that tells the story of the famous ship from its construction to its tragic end.

At Southbank Food Market, you can find food from China, India, France… and Britain, as well! It really reflects the many different cultures here. My favourite food is fish and chips. It’s not a very healthy meal, but it’s really part of our culture. My grandfather says that in some parts of Britain it is still traditional to eat fish and chips on Friday evenings. Families buy them from a shop and eat them at home. It is a cheap meal and everyone loves it.

But do you know the origin of this popular festival? It is celebrated on the 31st of October, the night before All Saints Day, and probably comes from an ancient Celtic celebration at the end of summer. The idea behind the fancy dress is to masquerade as one of the spirits on earth that night and hide from them! Pumpkin lanterns, also known as ‘jack-o’lanterns’, are based on an Irish legend of a mean man called Jack unable to enter heaven or hell and forced to a zombie-like existence. As for ‘trick or treat’, it probably comes from the custom of leaving food out for the spirits to keep them away. So now you know! New Words mean meschino, cattivo

As soon as Pancake Day is over, I can’t wait for Easter, forty days later! My grandparents always organise a big Easter egg hunt for all their grandchildren, when they hide chocolate eggs all over their house and garden! On Good Friday, people traditionally eat fish and delicious hot cross buns with melted butter. Food is great, but it is also very symbolic: the cross symbolises the crucifixion of Christ, and eggs are an ancient symbol of life and fertility. In fact, the word ‘Easter’ probably comes from Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. Her symbol was a rabbit or hare, hence the traditional Easter Bunny! Easter Monday is also a time for strange customs like the Easter Egg Roll – rolling eggs down a hill without damage! They even do it every year at the White House in Washington DC! New Words

Personally, I love Shrove Tuesday, because it’s Pancake Day! Well, I actually love pancakes! It’s what we do on the last day before Lent, the forty days before Easter. Most people know it as Mardi Gras, a time for carnival in Rio and Venice, but the name ‘Shrove Tuesday’ probably comes from the ‘shriving bells’ calling people to church to confess their sins before the Christian period of abstinence from sugary or fatty foods. It is the last chance to eat pancakes, which are made of eggs, flour, butter and milk and filled with lemon and sugar. Mmm! Delicious! On Pancake Day, people do pancake races, when you run and toss a pancake at the same time. This is a tradition dating back to 1445. You can also play a 12th-century game called ‘mob football’. You just need two teams, with as many players as you want, one football and two goals some distance apart. Visit Atherstone in the Midlands to see it!

Maps are pictures of the Earth’s surface. In geography, they are very important tools that researchers, cartographers and students can use to analyse the entire Earth or a specific part of it. Maps can be of different types. They can show political boundaries, the locations of cities, geographical features, or, in the case of thematic maps, they can illustrate one particular topic.

A common type of political map showing the United States and its borders.

Political maps focus only on the state and national boundaries of a place and do not show any topographic features. They include the locations of capital cities and other large and small urban areas. Physical maps show the physical landscape features of a place. They generally show mountains, rivers and lakes, and water is always shown with blue. Mountains and elevation changes are usually shown using different colours and shades to show relief. Normally, on physical maps green shows lower elevations while browns show high elevations. Rivers, seas and oceans are in different shades of blue.

This is a physical map of the United Kingdom. Low elevation coastal regions are in green, while the high elevations go from orange to dark brown. Rivers are in blue.

This example of a thematic map shows the population density of Europe. The key on the left explains the colour code.

264

t wo hundre d and six t y-four

A road map of Paris shows the major highways as a wide orange line. Other large roads are shown as orange with minor streets as white.

Road maps are a very common type of map. They tell you how to go from one place to another and show major and minor highways and roads as well as things like airports, railway stations, city locations, parks and monuments. Major highways on road maps are generally red or orange, while minor roads are in light colours and are narrower. Thematic maps focus on a particular theme or special topic and they are different from the three maps above because they do not just show natural features like rivers, cities, political borders, elevations and highways. They can illustrate very specific topics such as demographic growth in a country, the average rainfall distribution for an area, or human migrations across one or more continents.

We use the geographic coordinate system to find a place on a map. We measure the exact position of a place on a map using degrees of latitude and longitude. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator using lines. Each latitude line forms an imaginary circle around the Earth. We call these circles parallels. The equator is the middle line of latitude (degree 0) and it is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and that of the South Pole is 90 degrees south. The equator divides the surface into the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.

6 ___________ hemisphere

1 ________ Pole 2 Greenwich ____________

Longitude measures the distance east or west of an imaginary line running from the North Pole through Greenwich, England, to the South Pole. This imaginary line at 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian, or Greenwich meridian. Longitude lines are meridians and they all meet at the North and South Poles. Parallels and 5 _______________ meridians form the geographic grid. For example, the city of _______________ Rome is in the northern hemisphere, 42° north of the equator and 12° east of Greenwich.

Ascoltate e leggete il testo, poi verificate le vostre risposte. Are you good at orienteering? Finding your way when travelling or visiting an unknown place is extremely important, not only for comfort but for your own safety too. If you don’t have a map with you or if Google Maps or your GPS in your smartphone don’t work, there are other ways to find your way. The first basic considerations involve the cardinal points and the time of the day. Always remember that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. At midday, in the northern hemisphere the sun indicates south. On a clear night in the northern hemisphere, if you can identify the North Star you know where north is, which means that opposite there is south, east is on your right and west is on your left. If you are in an area where mountains, trees or other objects are blocking the night sky, it can be difficult to use the North Star to find your direction. But if you look at the trunk of trees and you see moss, that side of the tree points north. In the southern hemisphere, the moss on the side of the tree points south.

If you have a compass, you don’t need to look at the stars or to look for moss on trees. The compass is a Chinese invention of the III century BC. It is a navigational tool that uses magnetism and has an arrow which points north. A compass is very useful for navigating on oceans and in deserts, or other places where there are few landmarks.

For instance, it is very difficult to feel a magnitude 3.0 earthquake, which is mainly a tremor, but a magnitude 6 is a real earthquake and it can potentially cause a lot of damage. The damage caused by earthquakes also depends on their depth and the type of fault line. It is important that countries where earthquakes are very frequent such as Japan, Italy or South America build houses and buildings that react well to earthquakes. Good engineering practices can help stop buildings collapsing under the stress of large earthquakes. Earthquakes that occur out at sea can cause huge tsunamis capable of reaching land and endangering people.

ES Ascolta e leggi il testo sugli tsunami, poi rispondi alle domande.

Tsunami is a Japanese word that literally means ‘port wave’. Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may recede from the coast; if it is shallow enough, the water can be pulled back hundreds of metres. If you are in the area and you see this, it is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way. Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate as possible. When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast) they slow down but increase in height. Tsunami waves can reach height of over 131 feet (40 metres) in some areas, destroying coastal towns. In December 2004, an earthquake in the Indian Ocean near Indonesia and the tsunami which followed caused the death of over 200,000 people in 14 countries. Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as ‘tidal waves’ but this term is incorrect because tsunamis are not related to tides.

Ascolta e leggi il testo, poi verifica le tue risposte all’esercizio 5.

The word volcano originally comes from the name of the Roman god of fire, Vulcan. Volcanoes are openings in the earth’s surface. When they are active, volcanoes can let ash, gas and magma (hot liquid under the earth’s surface) escape in sometimes violent and spectacular eruptions. Volcanoes are usually located where tectonic plates meet. This explains why 75% of the volcanoes on earth are on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area around the Pacific Ocean. But they can also form in areas that contain extraordinarily hot rock inside the earth, such as the area near Hawaii.

The magma of a volcano is located in a chamber, or reservoir. When the earth’s crust moves, the gases inside the reservoir increase in volume and create bubbles. These bubbles push the magma out of its conduit. When magma goes up through the conduit and comes out of the crater, it becomes lava. Volcanic eruptions can send ash high into the air, over 30 kilometres (17 miles) above the earth’s surface. Volcanoes can be active (regular activity with steam, gas and lava eruptions, such as Etna in Sicily), dormant (recent historical activity but now quiet, such as Vesuvius in Naples) or extinct (no activity in recent historical times and unlikely to erupt again). While these terms are useful, scientists are more likely to describe volcanoes by characteristics such as how they formed, how they erupt and what their shape is. People often think of volcanoes as large cone-shaped mountains, but that is just one type. There are other types of volcanoes, for example with wide plateaus, fissure vents (cracks where lava emerges) and domed, round shapes. There are also volcanoes on the ocean floor, and even under icecaps, such as those in Iceland. There are also volcanic islands, such as the Canary Islands in Spain and the isle of Stromboli in Sicily.

Badu and I haven’t got the money for that, so we stay out of the classroom. There’s no food at school and I get hungry, especially at lunchtime.

Home

When I get home in the evening I’m very hungry. My family and I only have one meal a day. We eat vegetables with special sauces. Sometimes we eat fruit when it is in season and sometimes we have milk, but never meat or eggs. After dinner, I wash the dishes and help my aunt.

It’s not so bad By Suzie Hall, age 14 People say that my country, Great Britain, has a bad reputation for food, but I don’t agree. With its multicultural population and popularity of cooking TV shows, it just isn’t true. One of the most famous British dishes is the classic Sunday lunch with roast chicken or beef, roast or boiled potatoes and usually two different vegetables. Another favourite is fried fish and chips but it isn’t a very healthy option. Dairy produce is usually of a very high standard and the milk, butter, cheese, cream and ice cream are excellent. Thanks to the number of Asian cultures present in the UK, hot and spicy curries with rice are popular and there is a wide choice of both cheap and more expensive restaurants. Many of these restaurants offer a take-away service so you can eat delicious food in the comfort of your own home.
