Oh!

They smell lovely!

Yes, and they’re 100% natural!

Here the adjective sweet means “kind” or “nice”. It can also mean “lovable” or “angelical”, e.g. He’s a sweet little baby, and “sugary”, e.g. This dessert is nice but it’s a bit too sweet for me. The noun sweet is used to refer to candies and also to dessert. For example, I’m nearly full after the main course but those sweets look so delicious! Look at that chocolate mousse!

2 People wear* green on St Patrick’s Day because it is the national colour of Ireland. Did you know that blue was originally the national colour? But in 1789 green became* a symbol of Irish nationalism and rebellion against* the UK. And another reason for using green is that the country is often referred to as “The Emerald Isle*” because of its verdant* rural landscape*!

Running and jumping towards the future “I really don’t want to give* up Matilde, 11 athletics…” “I started doing athletics because I liked watching it on television and I also really like running. So* I decided I wanted to do it after school. Now I train twice* a week – on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I go to Santiago de Compostela University sports club, which has facilities* for track* and field practice. And I still* watch lots of athletics on television – both* men’s and women’s events.”

Moving* on “I run and do long* jump and high* jump. I love running and long* jump but I’m* not so keen on high* jump. The technique is quite* difficult. In general, I’m much better at athletics now than when I started. And I definitely have more stamina when I’m running. I used* to take part in competitions before Covid and I really enjoyed* it, although* I used* to get nervous beforehand*. I prepared for the competition by just practising my events for a couple* of days before the competition.”

Looking to the future “I’d like to keep* on doing athletics. I really don’t want to give* it up, although I had to stop for* a while because of Covid – there weren’t enough* places. There are lots of people I admire in the world of athletics, especially the Norwegian* Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who won* the 1,500 m record at the age of sixteen. I’m also* a fan of the Swedish*American Armand Duplantis, who won* the pole* vault in the 2015 World Youth Championships at the age of fifteen. And, of* course, Ana Peleteiro, who won* a bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics in the triple jump – she’s one of my heroes and she’s from Galicia, like* me!”

Let’s take it at snail’s pace

The snail is both* male* and female* when* it comes to reproduction. And what does it do when winter comes? It shuts* its house down. Whatever* happens, the brown-lipped* snail has an answer for everything*!

here’s an incredible number of species of snail in the world. What do they have in common? These little gastropods reproduce by being both male* and female* (they are “hermaphrodites”) after* embracing* for hours sometimes! However*, they can’t make babies unless* they’re from the same species.

The brown-lipped* snail lives in parks, gardens and abandoned land* in cities*, as* long as there isn’t too* much air pollution. It can climb* vertically and can even* move from leaf* to leaf*, like* a little monkey. What does it do up* there? It feeds* of* course, and it really likes leaves* that are starting to decompose. And when it’s on the ground*? It goes there to eat calcium, which is necessary for its shell*.

It comes and goes at a moderate speed* on its one muscly* foot, which is full* of mucus. This magic mucus has the ability to make both* lubricant for the snail to slide* and strong glue so* that it doesn’t fall*! The snail can switch* between making lubricant and glue very easily... But to make mucus, the snail needs* water. If it doesn’t rain for days, the snail has to have a break*. It sticks* to a branch* and waits* until* it rains. And when the winter comes, it finds a warm* little place* and shuts* its house down for months, waiting* for spring*… and it loves the rain so* much!

Name: Brown-lipped* snail

(or grove snail).

Family: Helicidae. Size: Between 1.5 and 2.5 centim etres. Address: Nearly* everywhere* in Europe. Peculiarity: It can live for six yea rs!

We are omnivores. We eat algae, plankton, molluscs, seeds* and small crustaceans which give our feathers* their pink or orange colour. We sometimes even* eat crabs* and small fish.
