My name's Jessica Poole. I'm twelve years old and I live in London. I go to Watermead High School. I'm in class 88. My favourite subjects are Chemistry and Geography. I don't like French or Maths. I take the bus to school with my friends. We meet at the bus stop at quarter past eight. School starts at quarter to nine and finishes at half-past three. After school, I go home and I do my homework. In the evening, I watch TV or go on the Internet. I practise the clarinet, too. On Wednesdays, I don't go home at half past three. I play table tennis in the school gym. I'm not very good, but it's fun. I like sport. On Saturday mornings, I have a clarinet lesson. I've got a brother. His name's Cameron. He doesn't go to the same school as me. He's only ten years old, so he goes to a primary school near our house. He walks to school. Their lessons start at nine o'clock, so Cameron leaves home at ten to nine.

birthday presents

On your birthday you get cards and presents from

your family and friends. Parents often buy a big

present like a bike or MP3 player. Other people give

toys, sweets, books, clothes, CDs, DVDs and things

like that.

People normally have a birthday party for their

friends. There's usually a birthday cake with one

candle for each year of your age. The person

with the birthday blows out the candles and

makes a wish. Then everybody sings 'Happy Birthday!'

People often have a party in their own home.

Some older children don't have a party. They take

their friends to the cinema, a bowling alley or

somewhere like that.

My friend, Anna, in Hungary says that they have

'name days' in her country, but we don't have 'name

days'. Anna also says that people in Hungary give

flowers on name days and birthdays. In Britain. we

usually only give flowers to women.

Cameron and I give flowers to our mum on

her birthday.

Christmas is the biggest festival of the year. Families usually come together to celebrate it. People put up decorations and decorate a Christmas tree. On Christmas Day (25 December), they open their presents and there is a traditional meal of turkey with vegetables, followed by Christmas pudding. The next day, (26 December) is a holiday too. We call it Boxing Day. On Boxing Day, people often visit friends, or go to sports matches. At New Year, a lot of people have

a party to 'see in' the new year.

At midnight, they usually join hands

and sing Auld Lang Syne. New Year

is an important festival in Scotland.

In Edinburgh, there is a big street

party with famous bands and

Chicken Licken is in the farmyard. He's eating under a tree when suddenly a nut falls on . . . . . .~ his head. 'Oh, no: says Chicken Licken. 'The sky is falling down. I must go to London and tell the King.'

4 the sky 5 the King 6 a hen

Chicken Licken runs down the road. When he meets Henny Penny, he stops. 'Where are you going?' she says. 'Oh, Henny Penny,' says Chicken Licken, 'the sky is falling down and I'm going to London to tell the King.' 'Well, I must come with you,' says Henny Penny.

Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky and Goosey Loosey run down the road. At the side of the road is Foxy Loxy. He's sitting under a tree. When they see him, they stop. 'Hello,' says Foxy Loxy, 'where are you going?' , Oh, Foxy Loxy,' says Chicken Licken, 'The sky is falling down and we're going to London to tell the King. Do you want to come with us?' , To London?' says Foxy Loxy. 'Well, you're going the wrong way. That isn't the road to London. Follow me.' So Chicken Licken, d Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky and Goosey Loosey follow Foxy Loxy. But, oh dear, he doesn't take them to London. He takes them to his den. His wife and children are waiting for him - and they're very hungry!

So Chicken Licken and Henny Penny run down the road. In the village, Ducky Lucky and Goosey Loosey are swimming on the pond. When Chicken Licken and Henny Penny see them, they stop. 'Hello,' says Ducky Lucky. 'Where are you running to?' 'Oh, Ducky Lucky,' says Chicken Licken, 'the sky is falling down and we're going to London to tell the King. Do you want to join us?' 'Yes, we must come with you,' say Ducky Lucky and Goosey Loosey.

Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky and Goosey Loosey never get to London and they never tell the King that the sky is falling down.

Most people in Britain like animals. A lot of families have got a pet. Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and budgerigars (budgies) are all popular pets. Horses are popular, too. Some children go to riding schools, where they learn how to ride and how to look after horses. There are lots of horse shows called gymkhanas with prizes for riding, jumping and other events.

@)

D There are lots of zoos in Britain, but nowadays they don't keep big animals in cages. They are usually in big pens, where they can run and jump. Zoos are very important, because a lot of animals are disappearing in the wild. Zoos can help to save them.

o You can also see animals in safari parks. In these parks, the animals don't live in cages or pens. They live in fields and woods. People drive round the park in their cars to watch the animals. You mustn't get out of your car!

o

Most children in Britain live in towns and cities, so they don't see wild or farm animals every day. You can visit some farms and learn about farm life and see animals like sheep, pigs and cows. Some of these farms are in the country but others are in towns and pupils go to them on school trips.

e

A lot of TV programmes are about animals. There are programmes about wild animals from all over the world from lions, whales and bears to fish and even insects.

Stay?

We usually have

two holidays a year

- a long holiday in

the summer and

a short one in the

winter.

When I was a boy; most people didn't go to other countries for their holidays. Some rich people went abroad, but most people stayed in Britain.

We take our long

holiday in July or

August When we

aren't at school.

We go away for two

weeks and we always

go to a different

place. We go to

somewhere in Europe

- usually France or Italy - but last year

we went to Greece.

They didn't travel by plane and a lot of people didn't have a car. They travelled by train or bus. We only had one holiday a year. My parents worked in a factory In August, the factory always closed for two weeks and all the workers took their holiday then. We always went to Brighton for our holidays. We didn't stay in a hotel. We stayed with my aunt and uncle. They lived near Brighton.

We also take a holiday in winter

for a week or ten days. We

normally go to warm places,

like the Canary Islands or the

Caribbean, but last winter

we went skiing in Slovenia.

It was great fun.

We didn't have a lot of money; but we had a good time. We played on the beach with our cousins and swam in the sea. We didn't have a lot of things, but they were happy days.

We always travel by plane

when we go abroad

and we stay in hotels.

However, a lot of my friends

take a caravan or go camping.

They take their cars to France

on a ferry or through the

Channel Tunnel.

It was in the year of '89 on that old Great

then the air brakes didn't hold,

And Number 9 came roaring down the hill- oh!

The runaway train came down the track and she

blew, (repeat)

The runaway train came down the track, her

whistle wide and her throttle back,

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she

blew, (repeat)

The conductor said there'd be a wreck and he felt

the chills run up his neck,

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,

The runaway train went over the hill and the last

we heard she was going still,

And she blew, blew,

blew, blew, blew.

The engineer said the train must halt and she

was all the fireman's fault,

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

These are some typical things that people have for breakfast: • toast with jam, honey or marmalade • cereal with milk and sugar • fruit (grapefruit is popular) • yoghurt • orange juice • coffee or tea he first meal of the day is breakfast - usually between 7 and 8 o'clock. The traditional British breakfast is very big: bacon, eggs,sausages,tomatoes,mushrooms,baked beans and fried bread! But nowadays people don't usually cook a big breakfast every morning. They only have a cooked breakfast on Sundays, or when they stay in a hotel.

T

Between 12 o'clock and two o'clock people have lunch. This is often a light meal of soup, sandwiches and I or a salad. Most children have their lunch at school. They can take sandwiches from home (a packed lunch) or they can buy food at the school canteen. The main meal of the day is dinner. People usually eat this between about six and seven o'clock in the evening. A traditional dinner is meat or fish with potatoes and vegetables, but many people nowadays cook foreign food. Lasagne, risotto or curry are popular and some people are vegetarians. After the main course, some people have dessert (also called 'pudding') - such as fruit, chocolate cake, or apple pie with ice-cream or custard.

In some parts of England, people have the main meal at mid-day and call it 'dinner'. They call the light meal they have in the afternoon or evening 'tea'. Some people also call the evening meal 'supper' . This can be a light meal or a main meal.

e eat a lot of different kinds of food today. Before the 16th century, people in Europe didn't have a lot of the things that we eat and drink every day. At the end of the 15th century, people from Europe started to travel to other parts of the world. They went to America, Africa and Asia. They brought back a lot of new kinds of food. Chocolate came from Mexico. The Aztecs there drank chocolate with pepper! The Spanish brought chocolate to Europe and they were the first to put sugar in it. Until the 1870s, chocolate was only a drink. The Swiss made the first bar of chocolate in 1876.

W

Tomatoes, peppers and avocados all came from Mexico, too. The Spanish took seeds back to Spain and started to grow the plants there. Soon they spread to other countries in Europe and then to other parts of the world. The words tomato, chocolate and avocado all come from the old Aztec language. Potatoes came from South America. Potatoes like cold, wet weather. They grew in the mountains of Peru. Sweetcorn (or maize) came from North America. Turkeys came from North America, too. They didn't come from Turkey! Coffee came from Africa. The Turks took it to

Turkey and then to Europe.

Tea came from China in the 17th century. At first it was very expensive and only rich people drank it, but in the 19th century the British started to grow tea in India. They produced a lot, so it was cheap and everybody drank it.

The United States of America is the fourth largest country in the world. It's bigger than the whole of Europe, but it isn't the largest country in North America. That's Canada. There are five time zones in the USA. So, when it's twelve o'clock in New York, it's only eight o'clock in Alaska. The third longest river in the world is in the USA. It's the Mississippi-Missouri River. The USA is the richest country in the world. It produces more food, iron, cars, aeroplanes, books, music and TV programmes than any other country in the world. The USA has a population of about 300 million people. Most of them live in cities. The largest city in the USA is New York. About 8 million people live there. The second largest city is Los

Angeles in California and the third largest is Chicago. There are fifty states in the United States. Some of the eastern states, like Rhode Island and Delaware, are quite small, but others, like Texas, California and Alaska, are bigger than a lot of countries. Alaska is the largest state. Each state has got its own government and its own capital city. The federal capital for the whole of the USA is Washington DC. The US President lives there, in the White House. The flag of the USA is called the 'Stars and Stripes'. On the flag there is one star for each of the fifty states. The thirteen stripes are for the original thirteen states. These states formed the USA in

1776. The first settlers in the USA came from Britain, but now the USA has people from all over the world - from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.

Springs are sunny and warm.

Spring

estern Europe is wetter than eastern Europe. This is. because count~ies like Britain. France and Portugal are closer to the Atlantic Ocean. The air above the ocean is wet. so when the wind comes from the west. it brings alot of rain to these western countries.

W

In summer. eastern Europe is usually hotter than the west. but in winter it's much colder. Why does this happen? Again. the answer is because ofthe Atlantic Ocean. Water changes its temperature slowly, but the land changes very quickly. In summer, the ocean is cooler than the land, so it keeps western Europe cooler than the east. In winter, the ocean is warmer than the land, so it keeps western Europe warmer. The countries in eastern Europe are further from the ocean. SQ it doesn't affect the temperatures there. It doesn't cool the land in the summer. and it doesn't warm the land in the winter. This also means that the seasons are different in eastern and western Europe. The temperature of the land changes quickly. so the weather changes from a hot summer to a cold winter quickly. too. Spring and autumn are short. but summer and winter are longer. In western Europe the temperature changes slowly. so spring and autumn are longer and summer and winter are shorter.

Doctor X Justin Time opened his eyes slowly. He was on a bed in a strange room. The bed was very hard. Chelsea was there, too. She was very sad. 'Are you all right?' she asked qUietly. 'It doesn't matter. You're both going to die here: It was Justin's old enemy, Dr X. She laughed horribly. 'I've got the computer now. So goodbye, MY Time: Dr X left the room and the guard locked the door. 'We must stop her: said Justin. 'With that computer she can control all the world's satellites: 'I think we can escape easily: whispered Chelsea. 'That guard is very slow. Listen: 'That's a good idea: said Justin. Then he shouted very loudly. 'Oh, my stomach! Help! Help!' The guard rushed into the room. 'What's all that horrible noise?' he said. Chelsea was by the door. She threw the blanket over the guard's head, while Justin quickly grabbed the keys from the guard's belt. They locked the guard in the room and ran outside.

'Well, can you run fast, too?' he said, and they ran to the harbour. 'Look: said Justin. 'That's Dr X's boat. She's going to take the computer to her secret island. Come on: They got into the boat and hid behind the seats. Soon Dr X arrived. She carefully put a briefcase on the seat and started the engine. The boat was very fast. When they were near the island, Dr X opened the briefcase. 'With this computer I'm going to control the world: she said. Suddenly Justin jumped up and took the briefcase. 'Give that to me,' said Dr X. She grabbed the briefcase and pulled hard. But the briefcase was open and the computer fell into the water. 'Aren't you going to jump in and get it, Dr X?' asked Justin. 'I can't swim!' she said sadly, as the computer slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. 'The world is safe again now: said Justin. While he watched Dr X, Chelsea took the boat safely back to the harbour.

Write about some famous people in the cinema in your country. 1 What are their names?

2 When were they born?

3 What films have they appeared in?

1 Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) Charlie Chaplin was the first international film star. He was born in London, but when he was 23 years old he went to the USA. He worked in the theatre at first and then moved to Hollywood. He starred in several silent movies. In most of his early films he played 'the little tramp'. People all over the world loved his films. His most famous film was The Kid (921).

3 James Bond One of the most famous characters in British films is the secret agent James Bond (007). Ian Fleming created the character. He wrote the first James Bond book in 1952. Ten years later, the first James Bond film appeared. Dr No starred Sean Connery as James Bond. In 2006, Daniel Craig became the sixth James Bond in Casino Royale.

2 Alfred Hitchcock (l899-1980)

Alfred Hitchcock was a film director. Like Charlie Chaplin, he was born in Britain, but he made his films in the USA. He made thrillers, like North by Northwest and Rear Window. His most famous film was Psycho. He wasn't an actor, but he always appeared in one scene in all his films.

Nick Park created these two characters - Wallace, the inventor, and Gromit, his very clever dog. They're made of plasticine. In their first film, A Great Day Out (1989), Wallace and Gromit go to the moon. Two later films, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, both won Oscars.

The Greeks built theatres in the open air, often

amphitheatres were very big. There were about 18,000

seats for the audience in some theatres. The theatres

had a semi-circular shape.

The seats were on the hillside and the stage was at the bottom of the theatre. So the audience could see the stage very well.

All the actors in the Greek theatre were men. They wore masks with a big hole for the mouth. There were masks with happy faces for comedies and masks with sad faces for tragedies. Tragedies were often about the past. The actors in tragedies usually wore dark colours. Comedies were funny and told stories about everyday life. The actors in comedies often wore light colours. Two of the most famous playwrights were Euripides and Aristophanes. Euripides lived in the fifth century between 480 BC and 406 Be. He wrote tragedies. Aristophanes lived between 446 BC and 388 Be. He wrote comedies and is known as the 'Father of Comedy'. Today people still remember their names.
