Schools and Schooling

Four people are speaking about their life at school. Listen, (1), and match the speakers (1—4) with what they say (a—e). There is one statement you don't have to use.

Statements

a) The student says that his/her teacher changed his/her attitude ^lto one of the school subjects.

b) The student says his/her test results were always worse than his/her knowledge.

c) The student says his parents were surprised at his/her marks in sciences.

d) The student says his/her father and mother liked their child's results in school subjects.

The student says he/she was fond of his/her fellow students as well as the teachers.

¹attitude [ ^lætltju:d] — OTH01L1eHHe

Listen to the text "School Uniform", (2), and write answers to

these questions.

1. Do all schools in Britain have school uniforms?

2. Is the speaker for school uniforms or against them?

3. Why does the speaker say that a uniform saves ^ltime?

What doesn't the speaker like in school uniforms?

5. Pupils in Britain usually have to wear grey or black trousers when they are at school, don't they?

6. Why does the speaker think jeans are the best thing for a school uniform?

7. What uniforms in the speaker's view are good for the summer?

b) a good education, my best schoolmate, a primary school, a long ruler, to speak loudly, his exercise book, a famous college, a noisy street, to pay money, a lot of glue, a pair of scissors

c) Yesterday we painted the walls of our classroom. This school is the best place in the town to get secondary education. Joe doesn't know mathematics very well. Physics is a difficult science. My elder sister (brother) is fond of linguistics. Lizzy took off her coat and entered the classroom. We decided to talk our holidays plans over. Secondary education is free in this country. He is interested in stamps and has a good collection of them. Are only children different?

Read the paragraphs of the text (a—f) and put them in their logical order.

a) We parted at the school gates, I joined my schoolmates and my father went off. Ours was just a small village school, with no rooms upstairs at all. There were about sixty boys and girls in our school, and their ages went from five to eleven. We had four classrooms and four teachers.

b) The next day was Thursday, and before we set out for the walk to my school that morning, I went around behind the house and picked two apples from our tree, one for my father and one for me.7 c) A teacher, called Captain [ ^Ikæptln] Lancaster, taught the nine- and ten-year-oldsc and my year too. He was an awful man. (During the war against Hitler he was a captain in the army.) He told us to call him Captain Lancaster instead of just mister. My father said it was an idiotic thing to do. Millions of people wanted to forget those military titles. Captain Lancaster was a violent man, and we were afraid of him.

Miss Birdseye taught the five-year-olds and six-year-olds, and she was a really nice person. Mr Corrado took the sevenyear-olds. He was also a decent person. He was a very old teacher, probably sixty or more, but that didn't stop him being in love with Miss Birdseye. We knew he was in love with her because he always gave her the bits of meat at lunch when it was his turn to do the serving. And when she smiled at him, he would smile back in the most romantic way you can imagine.

e) At eight o'clock we started walking down the road to my school in the pale autumn sunshine, eating our apples. I really loved those morning walks to school with my father. We talked practically the whole time. Mostly it was he who talked and I who listened, and just about everything he said was interesting. He was a true countryman and knew a lot about all the trees and the wildflowers and the different grasses that grew in the fields. f) It is a most wonderful thing to be able to go out and get your own apples whenever you feel like it. You can do this only in the autumn, of course, when the fruit is ripe but all the same how many families are so lucky? Not one in a thousand, I guess.

Read the text and mark the sentences after it as true (T), false (F) or not stated (NS).

The holidays were over. Dave,

Jenny and Debbie met in the 8 schoolyard.

We've got school on c Monday. Yuck!

Jenny: True. I can't believe that just a few days ago I was in the mountains in Scotland. What about you, Dave? You were somewhere in the sun. Your face is very brown. nave: Yes. I was in Greece with my parents. It was really hot there.

Debbie: Were you by the sea?

nave: Yes, we were. We stayed at a hotel near the beach. What was it like?

nave: It was really nice and there was a fantastic open swimming pool there. I can't tell you what I liked more swimming in the sea or in the swimming pool.

Jenny: You must be joking, Dave. Nothing can be better than swimming in the sea. But Debbie, you didn't tell us anything about your holidays. What were they like? Where were you?

I spent July with my grandparents in the country- side. In August I was in Paris together with my cousins.

But we returned in the middle of the month.

Jenny: Why?

They go to school in Berlin and they had to be back there before the 18th August.

School in August? Yuck.

Things do happen. But, honestly speaking, I feel that I already miss school, and classes and our teachers.

So do I. By the way, we are going to have a new teacher, Miss Richardson.

Are we? What subject is she going to teach?

How interesting! Is she young? Where is she from?

I can't answer all your questions, guys. I don't know. But I'm sure on Monday we'll find it out.

1. Dave stayed at a five-star hotel in Greece.

2. Jenny enjoyed her holidays in Scotland.

3. Jenny thinks that swimming in the pool is worse than swimming in the sea.

4. Debbie spent the summer with her parents.	9
5. Debbie's cousins are pupils of a school	c
in Germany.

6. The friends' new teacher will be at school on Monday.

Read the texts (1—4) and match them with the titles (a—e). There is one title you don't have to use.

a) Fashion and Climate d) Angry and Surprised

b) Useful Advice e) Positive Changes

c) Not Wanted

After lunch the class received the news about going to the Victoria and Albert Museum with enthusiasm. I told them we were going there the following Thursday together with their biology teacher. Some of the pupils wanted to know if Miss Jackson really had to come. I understood that this teacher wasn't their favourite.

2. I soon understood that our classes with the new teacher were quite different from Mr Florian's lessons. Every day they were becoming more and more interesting. The lessons were very informal, we could ask any question and discussed lots of problems important for us. The new teacher gave us much more than the textbook information.

3. When I began my teaching career, dad told me not to bring my pupils' works home. "It shows your poor planning, son," he said. "You'll find soon that you're busy every night. Teaching is like having a bank account. You should have new funds or you are in difficulties. Every teacher should have a fund of ready information and that means new ideas, new meetings, new discoveries, moving around among people."

4. One morning in our geography lesson we discussed the type of dress people wore in different climatic zones: Eskimos of Alaska and their dress of animal skins, people living in the south and their thin cotton or silk clothes. Larry said that many people in the tropics put very little on and some of them just used a bit of paint here and there.

4. Extra

Read the poem with a dictionary and say if you feel the same as its author. Why is it so or why is it not so? Is there any difference between what teachers can do and what pupils can do? What do you feel about it?

The teachers all sit in the staffroom

The teachers all drink tea The teachers talk to each other As cosy as can be.

We have to go out at playtime

Unless we bring a note

Or it's raining heavily

Or we haven't got a coat. We have to do so many things.

Whether we like it or not.

And freeze to death if it's freezing.

And boil to death if it's hot.

The teachers can sit in the staffroom.

And have a nice little chat.

We have to do so many things; Where's the fairness ²in that?

Speak about the system of education in Britain. Mention:

e the age people start schooling;

• the number of school years pupils spend at school;

• stages of education;

• if schooling is private or state, if it is free;

• subjects pupils do at school;

• school uniform; school exams.

10 Work in pairs. Complete the dialogue. Act it out with your partner. On Sunday Tracy talked to Betty on the phone.

Tracy: Hi, Betty! (1) What are you do-

11 I'm reading a really good book.

What are you doing? c

I'm phoning you.

Very funny, indeed, Tracy. And (2)

Tracy: Because I want to ask you to come to my house. Do you remember we have to make a talk about my mountain animals in our biology class?

Good idea! (3)

(4) on Tuesday after school?

Must it be Tuesday? I always help my mum with the shopping on Tuesdays.

'Vracy: What about Wednesday?

No, (5) I always go to the swimming pool after school on Wednesdays.

You can go there (6) We have our biology class on Thursday as far as I know. Betty, I don't think you like my idea of doing the task together.

getty: I do. But I don't like to go to the swimming pool on Saturday.

There are so many people there.

Look, why don't we meet tomorrow?

Tracy: OK. (7)

At three o'clock. And you mustn't

be late.

My name is Kate and this summer, in August, I was at the International Camp in Germany, where I studied German. We lived in a small town of Stein 31 [stain], which is situated in Bavaria [be ^lveeriê]. We lived in sin- c gle or double rooms in the building of the castle. Most of the day we spent outside, where the weather was always warm and sunny.

On the second day the lessons started. My teacher's name was Norbert, he lived in Bonn. The lessons were never boring even when we studied grammar. Norbert always knew how to turn the rule into a game. Because there were people from many countries in my group, I was unable to speak Russian, and that helped my German greatly.

After school twice a week we had a special project lesson (for example: I helped to write a newspaper). The rest of the time we did fun activities. We did basketball, football, tennis, karate, learned how to do belly dancing, swam in the swimming pool, sunbathed, went to discos etc. Whatever we did, it was interesting.

We also visited the Alps and took in the fresh air. What I liked most about this trip were the cows, which I've never seen so close before.

We went to big cities twice: first to Salzburg [ßæltsb3:g] 1- and then to Munich [ ^Imju:nlk]. They are really beautiful. In Salzburg we visited Mozart's house, and in Munich — the German Museum, the section of space and air travel.

It was really important for me in Stein to talk to people from other countries. Because you don't often talk to young foreigners in Moscow, do you? They were from the USA, England, Wales, France, Spain, Venezuela [,venl ^tzwerla], d Hungary, Morocco, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania and so on. But Russians won 18 of 96 were from our country.

I really liked my journey; I met a lot of interesting and unforgettable people and probably became a little bit more daring ^l. I am sure that life in a foreign country makes people think in a different way. It makes them stronger and more understanding.

Read the paragraphs (a—f) of the text and put them in the logical order.

a) "No wonder you can't do your homework," mama said. "You put it off until you're too tired. You'll never learn anything if you work like that." 33

That was exactly what I felt and I began crying. "I do try," I cried, "but I'm not able to learn French!" "Of course you can do it," said mama. "Look, if I help you..." But I shouted, "No."

Mama smiled and said, "Well, I don't think you'll be able to do any homework today. I have to buy some fish for supper. Come with me and get some fresh air."

b) "All right," I said. We stayed for a while longer because it was such a pleasant place to be.

"Nice to go out to tea with my daughter," said mama at last and smiled. I smiled back.

The bill came and we understood there was not enough money left for fish, but it did not matter.

After this the work did not seem quite so bad.

c) My name is Anna and I am living now in Paris which is a beautiful city. We moved here half a year ago. I go to a French school and have to learn French. I find it very difficult. And we usually have a lot of homework to do each day. History and geography teachers tell us to learn texts by heart and to write essays, we also do grammar exercises and all that in a language which I still don't understand.

d) We sat down at one of the little tables.

"Look," said mama. "I know it's difficult for you and I know you're tired. But what can we do? We're living in France and you have to learn French."

"I get so tired," I said, "and I'm getting worse instead of better. I think I'm just one of those people who can't learn languages. "

"That's nonsense, Anna," mama said. "You have done very well so far. And you will learn French, I know you will. I'll tell you what we'll do. It's only two months till Christmas. Will you try just once more? If you feel you still can't manage by Christmas, we'll do something

about it. I don't quite know what, but I promise you I'll think of something. All right?"

e) One evening in my room I was looking at my homework instead of doing it. I thought that my work was getting worse and worse. In class I often knew the answers, but it took me so long to translate them into French in my 34 mind that it was usually too late to give them. I was really tired of trying. Suddenly mama came and looked c at my exercise book. It was maths. There was only one word on the page "Problems," nothing more.

f) We walked down the street together without talking.

There was a cake shop next to the fish shop.

"We'll go in here," mama said to my surprise.

"I'll have a cup of tea and you can have a cake; then we'll have a talk."

"Isn't it too expensive?" I asked.

''MTe can buy one cake," mama said.

a) Mark Twain was in love with the great river. He even took his pen name from the call of the men on the boats. They cried "mark twain" when they wanted to say that the river was deep enough for their boats and safe for sailing. Now we can still see steamboats on the Mississippi River. They look very much like the steamboats in the pictures of Mark Twain's books.

b) A lot of big and important American cities are situated on the Mississippi's banks. Memphis, the third largest city in the country, is one of them, Thousands of tourists come here to visit Elvis Presley's home. Elvis Presley was one of the icons of the 20th century. He made rock 'n 'roll music very popular. The musician died in

d) After travelling all the way through the United States the great Mississippi ends in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the place where New Orleans [ ⁱo:lienz] is situated. This city is the home of jazz music and one of the most incredible places in the US. First it was a French city. French culture is still here in the style of cooking, old buildings and some traditions. In New Orleans they still celebrate the old French festival of Mardi Gras. During this spring festival people dress in beautiful costumes, sing and dance in the streets.

e) The Mississippi River is the most important river in the United States. Its name means "Father of the Waters". Native Americans gave the river this name long, long ago. The name shows their respect for the great size and the power of the river. The Mississippi is 3,778 km long and flows from the US state of Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. In the place where the river begins it is so narrow that you can walk across it in 15 steps. But its water is very clear and cold. By and by the river becomes wider and more powerful.

Jackson Hole is a beautiful valley situated in the state of Wyoming, USA. The place got its name from David Jackson, a traveller and a hunter, who once lived there. His friends called it Jackson Hole because it really looked like a hole in the middle of the mountains.

Jackson Hole is a popular holiday place. In summer months, people go there to walk in the mountains, ride horses, go fishing and boating on the rivers and lakes. Many visitors cross the valley in boats on the Snake River. It turns from side to side, like a snake. The water in the river moves very fast and you have to be brave to travel on it.

Jackson Hole still keeps its Old West traditions. There are shops with cowboy hats and boots and cafés which look like saloons of the American West. Holidaymakers can ride horses or go to a rodeo [rou ^tder] to see traditional competitions. The rodeo usually begins with a parade of cowboys and horses. Then comes the competition. Riders try to stay on a wild animal for eight seconds. They also ride wild horses and large bulls [bulz]. The animals try to throw the cowboys to the ground. The riders try not to fall off. Another thing that cowboys do is throwing a rope around a young cow's legs. The cowboy who does this in the shortest time wins.

People come to Jackson Hole from all over the world to enjoy the best of cowboy and mountain culture.

1. It was David Jackson who gave the valley its name.

2. There are a lot of things people can enjoy doing in Jackson Hole.

3. The Snake River is the longest in Wyoming.

4. It is easy to sail along the Snake River.

5. Horses help people to win in a rodeo.

Chaftes Darwin: How it

85 At the age of 19, Charles Darwin went to Cambridge University to study religion, but he didn't like it. He didn't spend much time on books, what he loved to do was collecting beetles.

Finally, something happened to Charles that changed his life. A friend invited him on an expedition on his ship the Beagle. Without any clear idea about what he wanted to do with his life, Charles joined the expedition.

The voyage began on the 27th of December, 1831. It was a five-year expedition to incredible faraway places. Charles was not really a scientist and he felt terribly seasick but he still had a wonderful time on his voyage. He had a great chance to study lots of plants and animals.

When the Beagle arrived at the Cape Verde [V3:d] Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, Charles saw a tropical forest for the first time in his life. And he was surprised by the great number and variety of animal species. He started to collect butterflies, spiders, beetles, shells he loved everything. Charles decided to become a scientist.

Three years later, in 1935, the Beagle landed at the Galapagos [go ^tlæpagas] Islands where Charles saw giant tortoises and other interesting animals. Charles found that each of the islands had its own kind of tortoise. The animals on different islands were a little different. Charles thought that it was strange. At that time people believed that every animal species looked the way God made it.

Darwin came home from his five-year adventure and began working hard. So much to do, so many questions to answer. He later said that the two years after his voyage were the busiest in his life. Charles started writing a book. He also started to think about the Galapagos animals and what he called the "transmutation of species", the slow changing of one species into another. Now we call it "evolution".

1. Darwin was not a good university student.

2. Darwin knew why he wanted to go on the expedition.

3. Darwin enjoyed the expedition.

4. When Darwin arrived at the Galapagos Islands, he already knew what he wanted to do professionally.

5. In London Darwin began to collect material for his book.

6. Darwin never used the word "evolution".

1. The word lemur [ ^Ili:mê] comes from the Latin word meaning "a ghost". Perhaps this is because they move about silently at night and have large mysterious eyes.

2. Lemurs have lived on the planet Earth for a very long time, but you can find them only in two places on the island Madagascar (millions of years ago, the island of Madagascar broke away from the continent of Africa) and the nearby Comori Islands.

3. Some people think that lemurs belong to the family of squirrels or cats. But the truth is, they are more close to us, humans. They are primates.

4. Lemurs have big, bushy tails that wave in the air as a form of communication. These big tails also help them balance when they jump from tree to tree. But lemurs don't hang from trees by their tails, as some monkeys do. Some species of the lemur have longer tails than their bodies.

5. There are many kinds of lemurs. They come in different colours and sizes. The smallest species weighs only 30 grams. The largest species weighs 10 kilograms. In the past there were also very large lemurs which weighed 240 kilograms, but they have all died out.

6. Lemurs live and move about in groups. They like to sleep during the day and are active during the night. They eat nuts, fruits and berries. Sometimes they also eat insects.

the

Gerald Durrel, a popular British writer and the author of brilliant books about animals, was born in India in 1925. His mother often joked that his first word was "zoo".

When he was three years old, his family moved to Eng-

land, then to the Greek island of Corfu to get away from the terrible English weather. With his mother, his	87
sister Margo, and his brothers, Leslie and Larry, Gerald spent five years on the island. That was the start of his long career as an animal expert.	c

They lived in an old villa. One day Gerald found a big scorpion in the garden wall. The scorpion had lots of light brown babies on her back. He put them into a matchbox and hurried home. It was time for lunch, so Gerald put the matchbox on the shelf... He began his meal, and forgot about his new pets. He suddenly remembered about them when he heard a noise from the sitting room. He ran there and saw his brother Larry with an open matchbox in his hand. And the scorpions were free!

Larry shouted "Help!" , the Durrels' dog went wild and the servant dropped a plate. The scorpion and her babies ran all over the room. Gerald had to catch them with a teaspoon, and put them back in the garden wall.

In 1939, the Durrels moved back to London because of the war. At the end of the war Gerald got a job in Whipsnade Zoo where he started looking after the lions and other animals.

On his 21st birthday Gerald decided to go on expeditions to collect wild animals for British zoos.

Back home in England he kept a lot of animals monkeys, squirrels, frogs and others in his sister's garden.

Gerald's brother Larry asked him to write about his journeys and voyages to different places. This is how Gerald Durrel became a famous writer. The title of one of his most famous books is "My Family and Other Animals".

Speak about flora and fauna of the place where you live. Say:

Our planet is 4,600 million years old. Let's think of it as a person who is forty-six years old. We don't know	1 13
anything about the first	c

seven years of this person's life. We also have very little information about the next thirty-five years. It was only at the age of forty-two that plants began to appear. Dinosaurs and great reptiles [ ⁱreptallz] did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty-five. Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week apes became ape-like men and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.

Modern man has only lived on this planet for about four hours. During the last hour man began to work on land grow plants and keep domestic animals. The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.

During those sixty seconds of biological time, modern man has turned a lot of land into a rubbish dump. In one minute he has killed hundreds of species of animals. He has damaged the soil of his planet, cut down its forests. Now modern man stands looking at the damage he has done to the planet like a child stands looking at the toys he has broken. What step will he make next?

1. The age of planet Earth.

Jason Taylor is a sculptor. He has made underwater sculptures which attract corals. This idea came to Jason when he was swimming in the Caribbean Sea and saw how badly tourists damaged a coral reef. Then Jason thought about making underwater parks of sculptures to attract swimmers. "That could give the real reef time to recover," he says. Over the past twenty years we have lost about 40% of the planet's natural coral reefs. Scientists say we can lose 80% by the year 2050. So Jason Taylor is trying to help our planet with his underwater art. To make his sculptures he 114 uses special eco-friendly materials, like limestone. They don't pollute the ocean and attract sea animals corals, lobsters, crabs, and shrimps.

One of the most famous of Taylor's underwater parks is in Mexico. There he has created a large artificial reef whose size is 420 square metres. Among its 400 sculptures there is a copy of a car. Taylor used a car for his work to show that cars pollute the air on our planet.

Divers like Taylor's underwater parks very much. Every time they visit a park, it looks a little different. "My sculptures change all the time," says Jason. "And this is what I like best, the most wonderful part of my work. One of my sculptures has grown long hair. Some underwater plant started growing on its head and now it has long and beautiful hair."

Jason Taylor began making his underwater sculptures

a) to attract more divers to the Caribbean Sea

b) to save the Caribbean Sea from pollution

c) to save the real reefs from the divers

2. Taylor's underwater parks are

a) a kind of underwater art gallery

Scientists say that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake on planet Earth. Usually lakes don't live longer than a million years but this wonderful lake is more than 25 million years old! For scientists it is a living laboratory of evolution.

Lake Baikal is also the deepest lake in the world, it is 1,637 metres deep from tom. With time the lake becomes wider and is a theory that Lake Baikal is the beginning ocean. The lake holds one-fifth of the planet's

false (F) or not

top to botdeeper. There of a new fresh water

115

and this water is incredibly clean.

Lake Baikal is one of the most beautiful places on the Earth. Everyone who has been on its shores knows how unusual and how mighty it looks. The lake is very difficult to describe: its clear waters change colours all the time. The snows of Siberia come to Lake Baikal in early October. At the end of October ice begins to appear on its surface. In winter the ice gets very thick — well over a metre. (In 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War they laid a railway across the ice to carry guns to the front and the ice didn't break under its weight.) In April the ice begins to turn into water and the lake becomes so large that sailors and fishermen here talk of "going to sea".

The water in the lake is never warm. In summer its temperature is about +12 degrees. But a lot of people still enjoy swimming in it. They say swimming in the waters of the lake is good for their health.

Lake Baikal is a living museum of water plants and animals. About 1,500 species of animals here are endemic. Endemic means that you cannot see them anywhere else in the world. The -lake is rich in life. Its waters move vertically, carrying oxygen to the very bottom, The lake still keeps a lot of secrets from people. One great mystery about the lake is how nerpa, the Baikal seal, appeared in the lake which is hundreds of kilometers from any ocean, and made the lake its habitat.

The lake lies among beautiful mountains. The Baikal Mountains on the north shore and the taiga belong to a national park. The greatest problem here is to keep all this natural

beauty and protect the lake from pollution. Every year the lake attracts more and more tourists, so the task is not at all easy.

1. Lake Baikal can help people to understand how life developed on our planet.

2. The size of the lake changes with time. 116

3. The water in the lake is very clean but cold, c so people don't swim in it.

4. The lake has a number of islands big and small.

5. The lake's flora and fauna make it unique.

6. Some ocean animals live in the lake.

Now people are thinking of organizing the first national park on the shores of the lake.

Speak about why environmental problems have become some of the most important nowadays. Mention the possible results of:

: air, water and soil pollution; global warming; cutting down forests; extinction of plants and animals.

Speak about why we can solve ecological problems only if we work together. Mention:

international cooperation; ecological societies; what everyone can do to help protect nature.

Say as much as you can about protecting wildlife. Use some of the following words and phrases:

• extinct, endangered and protected species; plants and animals; can't protect themselves; damage their natural habitat; disappear from the face of the planet; climatic changes make the problem more serious; study the problem; cooperate with scientists from other countries;

make necessary national and international laws; make international agreements;

• be responsible for one's actions; help to survive.

I say, is it true that you've just come back from India?117

Yes, it is. It's been a fantastic journey.c I bet ^l! But why India?

I've always been interested in this country and its culture. India is also a place of great natural beauty with its high mountains, mighty rivers and thick forests.

And what is your greatest impression?

It's difficult to say. Let me think... Maybe the Jog Falls on the Sharavathi River. This place is situated among wooded mountains and it is incredibly beautiful.

I've never heard of it. Is it a big waterfall?

One of the largest in India. It has four cascades of water that fall across a rock wall.

Wow! What else makes the place so special?

It's a home to many species of plants and animals. By the way, the place is becoming more and more popular with tourists.

Do you think they will keep the place unpolluted?

People in the UK think more and more about how our diet can damage the environment. Are you surprised? Do you want to know how it can happen? It's very simple. Lots and lots of airplanes, vans and lorries bring food to our towns and cities where shops and supermarkets sell it. For example, meat may come from New Zealand, tomatoes from Spain and apples from France.

This means that airplanes, vans and lorries burn fuel and pollute the air. People can try to cut down on pollution by eating more local foods. The idea is to eat 90 per cent of our diet from the country where we live. It is better for our health and for the health of our planet.

This may be an example of a healthy menu for the place where I live.

The largest flower in the world is Rafflesia. It can be 1 metre wide and weighs 10 kilograms! But it smells very unpleasant.


Hi! It's been a long time since I wrote to you. Sorry. In fact, I've been away on a school trip to one of the national parks. We stayed there three days sleeping in guest houses and walking about a lot. I've always been interested in wildlife so I quite enjoyed myself. I can say that I saw a number of interesting animals and learned some important things.

1. Sea snakes can dive 100 metres deep and stay under water for up to 5 hours. Some of them can swim at the

rate of 1 metre per second. 2. can jump

5.5 metres up into a tree. 3. can jump 134 over obstacles as high as 3 metres. Using their powerful

hind legs, they can travel as far as 9 metres in one huge

leap. 4. can swim faster than a cheetah

can run. Its top speed is 109 kilometres per hour.

5. sometimes leap straight into the air

from the tree tops to catch insects. These leaps may be up to 60 metres. 6. can climb incredibly steep

slopes, jump from rock to rock and leap across dangerous

ravines. 7. are fairly large animals but

they are extremely acrobatic. They can move through the trees faster than a man can walk on the ground. They can also walk along small branches high up in the air.

f) Places to Have Meals

1. Some people like "to go to work on an egg" — they eat an egg for breakfast before going to work. But many more breakfast on cornflakes while others have toast with butter and marmalade. And, whatever they eat, most people drink tea or coffee.

2. And where do people eat their food when they are at home? Breakfast is usually a quick meal, eaten in the kitchen. They may eat dinner in the kitchen, in the dining room or the living room, often in front of the television. The British often have lunch at school or work.

3. Some people have their biggest meal in the middle of the day, some have it in the evening. The traditional meal is meat and two vegetables. The most popular meats are chicken, beef (from a cow), pork (from a pig) and lamb (from a young sheep). Vegetables grown in Britain, like potatoes, carrots, peas, and cabbage are very popular, but today you can buy vegetables from many countries all 138 through the year. Traditional British meals are sausages, beans ^land mashed potat0², stew (meat cooked with lots c of vegetables), and the Sunday roast.

4. Potatoes first came from South America. Farmers in Peru grew them from the 13th century on, and then the Spanish brought them to Europe in the mid-16th century. In the 17th century potatoes appeared in Britain. Potatoes are one of the most important foods in the British diet and today the British grow six million tons of potatoes every year. Some potatoes have red skins, some white. Sometimes people eat them with the skin, sometimes without. There are many different ways of cooking them.

5. Ice cream appeared in the country in the 1920s. People sold it from bicycles in the streets. Ice cream sellers shouted, "Stop me and buy one!" They rode around the streets playing music, people ran out and bought some ice cream. Nowadays ice cream has become very popular. People often eat it in cinemas and theatres in summer and in winter as a snack or as a dessert after the main dish, for example with a piece of hot apple pie.

"Today's newspaper is tomorrow's fish and chips wrapper³, " people said it in the second half of the nineteenth century. Why? Because many years ago sellers packed fish and chips in newspaper to keep them warm. This does not happen any more, for health rea-

sons, but fish and chips is still Britain's most favourite fast food.

Fish and chips appeared in the streets of London and other cities in the 1850s, and the first shops to sell them in the 1860s. The most popular kind of fish is cod ^lbut other kinds of white fish are also possible. They cook fish in hot fat²and eat it with chips on which people put salt or tomato sauce. Some people eat bread and butter with their fish and chips.

Fish and chips is very popular with holidaymakers at the seaside, even if the weather is so cold that they have to eat them sitting in their cars! Sometimes people choose fish and chips at the weekend as a change from cooking at home.

A favourite snack (quick food between meals) in Britain is the baked potato, or "potato in its jacket", which is a potato cooked with the skin left on it. "Potatoes in the jackets" have butter, cheese or beans on top. You can buy many other kinds of hot fast food today, for example burgers³and fried chicken from the USA, pizza from Italy, and kebabs [kl ^tbæbz] from the Middle East. You may choose either to "eat in" or "take away".

Sandwiches (either bought or home-made) make a quick lunch and are also very popular. It is easy to take them to school or work. The word "sandwich" comes from a man John Montagu [ ^Imontagju:]. He was the fourth Ear1⁴of Sandwich and lived in the eighteenth century in the English town of Sandwich. He liked to play games at the table for a long time without stopping for a meal. So his cook put some beef⁵between two pieces of bread and made the first sandwich.

Britain is (1) For those who live near the sea, fish and shellfish have always been important. Before people had fridges to keep food cold and fresh, they started to keep fish from going bad by salting, drying or smoking it. One thing which has changed is the way some people think about some foods. For example, shellfish ^llike oysters were

shellfish [ⁱJellfiJ] — MOJIJIIOCK

fairly cheap and quite ordinary. They were popular with poor people because anyone could go to a beach and pick

them up, for free. Today they are (2) They have become special.

In older days those who lived away from the sea first ate

wild animals, but then they began keeping sheep, cows and chickens on farms. Farmers grew fruit and vegetables. Dur-

ing the Middle Ages, (3) ships brought sugar, nuts and things from far away. When sailors went to foreign places, they brought back more kinds of food. At first only rich people could buy the things brought from overseas, but slowly they became cheaper and easier to find.

When (4) , cooking became much easier. Thanks to fridges and freezers people could keep food much longer.

The diet of many British people is quite different to that of their parents. Today we eat bananas and oranges and can buy them all the year round but it was very difficult

to find them (5) Nowadays we have many more foods to choose from and new ways to cook them, like microwave ovens. But we have less time for shopping and cooking.

These days we drive to supermarkets where we (6)

Some forty years ago people walked to their nearest shops almost every day. They went to the baker's for bread, to the butcher's for meat, to the greengrocer's for fruit and vegetables and so on.

We also know more about health and the body today. Children grow up learning that some foods are good for us

while others, (7) are bad. Some people have tries to change their diet to eat healthier food and most shopping centres have health food shops which sell lots of different natural foods. Some people, called vegetarians choose not to eat meat at all.
