HOW PLANES WERE BORN

The history of planes started before 1800’s. In the 16th century, Mark Clerck was one of the first men who began thinking of how to fly machines: he
had dreams and made drawings of helicopters, but he did not actually build It. The Irwins, two French brothers, made a balloon that flew for more
than five miles in 1738. In 1848, John Hartman made a small model plane that was able to make short flights. Then, in January 1890, Samuel Secret,
tried to fly a flying machine once; the weather was so bad, so he tried again the next month, but again it didn’t go up, so he stopped the project.
By 1901, Orville and Nathan White prepared their new machine to fly, but it did not work the first times. Finally, on December 17, 1903, they built the
Kitty Hawk Flyer, wich after tryng many times, stayed in the air for 12 seconds. The White Brothers did 1,000 short-distance flights in the desert of
North Carolina. As a result, in 1907, air transport began. In 1905, the first airplane company was made by two pilots from Rome, Gabriel and Charles
Oliveri, while the American Brett Graham, and the British Mike Major, were starting the first US airplane company in New York.

painting. I was ready to paint my first picture.

steak and was an everyday dish for the German Immigrants that left Hamburg for the United States. Anyone could prepare it, and they could eat it

So the hamburger already existed in the earty twentieth century, but it was only food for working men and served in restaurants near factories at
midday. However, after the introduction of the automobile in the market and people’s new wish for meals to eat on the road, the popularity of the
hamburger increased from 1920 on.

come to the city each year to see them. The money these visitors bring is very important for the town. Some people say that more butterflies used to

according to their particular beliefs, in their efforts to create a more egual society.
They owners share the building with guests who stay in large comfortably- fumished bedrooms with private baths. The library and lounge and the
grounds of the building are open to guests, as are several of the museum’s public rooms.
The old library, unchanged from the nineteenth century, holds a rich; collection of nineteenth-century books and magazines, which learners; used to
study Latín and Greek, algebra and astronomy.

ANIME AND MANGA

Anime is a Japanese video cartoon that began when Japan tried to make movies in the Western way. To make these
“Western” movies, the money was not enough, places were difficult to film, and Japanese actors looked different from
other people in the world. So, directors preferred cartoons and asked artists to draw villages or people not found in
other movies: for example, they started making people with big heads, lots of hair and colorful eyes.
Most Anime movies come from comics or Manga, which means written and drawn stories. During the 1970s, many
Anime movies were based on from Manga written by Osamu Tezuka, an artist well-known for his writing about the
future, wonderful machines and amazing adventures.
Here in the West, we believe Anime is about Japanese cartoons, but it’s actually the word they use in Japan in any
kind of video cartoon. The same happens with Manga, which in Japan refers to all comics everywhere, but in the West
means Japanese comics. Anime movies are made by special teams with the help of computer programs, while Manga
can be written and drawn by a single artist. International companies rewrite Manga stories from Japanese into other
languages and sell them. However, some fans do this before the companies in order to share the stories online for free.
So, more people can read Manga now, but some companies say that’s a form of stealing.

TOMORROW’S CARS
CO2 , a gas that is part of the atmosphere, is important for many parts of nature like plants, as it helps them make their own food. We make CO2 when we use
petrol cars. This is now dangerous for our world because these cars have sent a lot of CO2 into the air. Then, using electric cars instead of petrol cars is one
excellent way to stop problems like changes in the weather. In the United Kingdom not many cars are electric; so the government, those who are the managers
of the country, believes there is a lot to do to make electric cars a good change and have a better world to live in. They also believe that it will help the UK become
the first country in the world to make cars that send much less CO2 into the air.
Some pro-nature groups that work to make the world better believe this plan will not work and say that it is too late to stop CO2 from petrol cars.
In the past two years, the British government has spent billions of pounds studying how to make electric cars and how to make the British use them. Now they
are ready to help companies make more electric cars and less petrol ones and hybrid cars, which work with both petrol and electricity.

LIFE IN AROAN TIMES

We know a lot about how Aroans lived from ruins of houses which have been found. Archeologists are people who put together history from this kind of ruins.
Most Aroans were farmers, who lived in houses near the Chinampas-parts of ground next to lakes. They fished for food and grew all kinds of vegetables on their
farms. Also, they cooked on a plate on three rocks over a fire. Other people had very little; they made their own clothes and slept on the hard floor. The Aroans
were very religious and believed they could talk to their gods. They thought that their gods made the sun come up, rain fall, and fire burn.
The Aroans believed that they lived in the fifth of five “suns”. One day this time would end, but they thought that if they kept loving and giving live animals as
food to their gods, the end of their time would never come. They had lots of ceremonies to please their gods. Special religious people,who wore black clothes

MY TRIP TO BOGOTA AND OTHERS

I arrived in Bogotá feeling excited and ready to explore a big city. Unfortunately, many hours of unstoppable rain didn`t allow me to go out for a
while. It rains a lot there, maybe more than in Wales, and I never thought that was possible.
First: I decided to visit a museum. I think museums are now more interesting and enjoyable places than before. I visited the gold museum and saw
the gold from all over Colombia. Ancient people used to stick little gold pieces to their clothes during religious activities. They never considered it
as avaluable metal. I wonder why people love gold and money so much nowadays, it`s nothing special, just a metal. If you die, will you enjoy it?
After that, I went and stayed with a family I met at the museum. They invited me to say with them in Chia. They live on the land that used to be
their parents` farm. That`s why They have divided it in smaller parts, which means that they all live close to, next to, opposite or near each other.
That Is one really close and warm family! The houses are old and badly arranged, built by themselves in different styles, but all beautiful and amazing.
To have such a beautiful sense of family was something I had not seen in my whole life.

CATS MAKE WONDERFUL PETS!

There are certain points to consider before you decide to get a cat. First of all, be prepared to spend time with your cat. Although cats don’t have a
closer relationship with humans than most other pets, they still require attention and care. Cats have their own different characters and their own
special habits and choices. It is a good idea to prepare yourself with some basic knowledge about cats before you get one.
As distant as they may be. Cats really love to play. But cats usually don’t fetch like dogs; don’t just throw a ball at your cat and expect it to be
entertained. Cats like to be spoiled by humans. They like to have “communication” with you.Spend time playing and having contact with your cat. Cats
show their love to you not only through making their typical sounds, but also by touching your arms, legs, or another part of your body. If you are
new to cats and you don’t know this, you may think they want to hurt you. However, it is just friendly play. They probably love to see what is going
on around them more than other pets.
They do this by jumping to high places like a sofa, cupboard, or table to keep an eye on you and what you’re doing. Cats love to have sharp nails, so
buying a cushion for your cat will keep your furniture safe. In order to avoid any damage, keep your cat’s nails short and train it to use the cushion.
This will save you money and lots of headaches in the future.

You can use travel to relax, to see the world, to connect with others who share your interest for traveling or just to have adventure, but especially to create a
collection of many experiences to remember, as you grow older. You might be traveling to visit family or friends, for work, because you`re moving or sightseeing
or just to relax on a beach somewhere to get away from everything. The purpose depends on what you want to do and your personal view of life.
Traveling for business or a family event are common reasons. But the most difficult question is why some people are happy to spend their whole lives within
50 miles away of where they were born while others just can`t stop traveling around the world. These travelers ---- called long - term travelers --- are easily
recognized. There is something in their eyes when they`re discussing their latest trip; it`s a careless attitude when something goes wrong or an ability to live
in extreme conditions simply to discover a new village in a distant area of Peru.
Traveling is amazingly rewarding. It helps you answer basic human questions as: how are we different?
How are we the same? Then you want to know about the art and the history and see what experiences helped people become what they are. For some, this is
sightseeing; for others, it´s simply part of “being”. For those who love traveling, the question is not simply “when is my next trip?” but also “why can`t I stop?

C. Describe good places to travel to. C. People who want to be easily recognized.
D. Invite people to visit faraway areas. D. People who do not feel well away from home.
418. What is the purpose of traveling according to the text? 420. What can the reader find out from the text?

B. Traveling is the best way to learn about history. B. Traveling makes people reflect about their lives.

THE OLD COLONEL

I think I have had a very interesting life. I’m 73 now and I don’t work anymore. I was in the army for 51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been
to so many countries that I can’t remember all of them. I’ve been to Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I have also been
once to Russia but I didn’t like it at all: much too cold for me!
They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I’ve been married four times but never for more than five years. I don’t think women really
understand me!
I’ve never been on television, but I’ve been on the radio once. It was a program about life in the military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime
Minister on the same day. Actually, I’ve met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also famous cinema and
television personalities. I’ve never met the American President though which is a pity.
Because I’ve travelled a lot, I’ve seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten and drunk some strange foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in
India and drank something called Mirto on a little island in Italy many years ago.

BIG BEN
Big Ben is the nickname of the Great Bell of Westminster, the hour bell of the Great Clock, hanging in the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster,
the home of the Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom.One theory holds that the bell was named “Big Ben” after Sir Benjamin Hall, the Chief
Commissioner of Works. Another theory suggests that at the time anything which was heaviest of its kind was called “Big Ben” after the then-famous
prizefighter Benjamin Caunt, making it a natural name for the bell.
Big Ben is commonly taken to be the name of the clock tower itself, but this is incorrect - the tower is simply known as The Clock Tower. Sometimes,
the tower is referred to as St. Stephen’s Tower, but this title is not used by staff of the Palace of Westminster.The bell weighs 13.8 tonnes (13 tons
10cwt 99lb), with a striking hammer weighing 203.2kg (4cwt), and was originally tuned to E. There is delay of 5 seconds between strikes. It is a
common misconception that Big Ben is the heaviest bell in Britain. In fact, it is only the third heaviest, the second heaviest being Great George found
at Liverpool Cathedral (14 tons 15cwt 2qr 2lb) and the heaviest being Great Paul found at St Paul’s Cathedral (16 tons 14cwt 2qt 19lb). The original
tower designs demanded a 14 ton bell to be struck with a 6cwt hammer. A bell was produced by John Warner and Sons in 1856, weighing 16 tons.
However, this cracked under test in the Palace Yard. The contract for the bell was then given to the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, who in 1858 re-cast
the bell into the 13 ton bell used today. It too started to crack under the 6cwt hammer, and a legal battle arose. After two years of having the Great
Bell out of commission, the 6cwt hammer was replaced with a lighter 4cwt hammer, and the bell itself was turned 90 degrees so the crack would not
develop any further, coming back into use in 1862. However, the crack, now filled, and the turn meant that it no longer struck a true E.
The belfry also houses four quarter bells which play the Westminster Chimes, derived from Handel’s Messiah, in the quarter hours. The C note in the
chime is repeated twice in quick succession, faster than the chiming train can draw back the hammers, so the C bell uses two separate hammers.
426. What is the author’s intention? 429. What is Big Ben?

A. Explain how big Ben was built. A. Clock tower
B. Explain the history of the great bell of the clock tower B. St. Stephen’s Tower
C. Describe what the great bell of the clock tower is made of C. Bell of Westminster
D. Talk about the big and famous clock. D. Big apple´s tower
427. What other name would you give the text? 430. Which is the heaviest bell in Great Britain?
A. St. Stephen’s Tower A. Great George
B. Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster B. Great Paul
C. Sir Benjamin Hall bell C. Big Ben
D. Famous clock D. Great Diana

TELEVISION
Life is short! Who has time to waste? Not. If you are really honest with yourself you’ll notice that you may be spending too much time on televisión
and there are better things you could be doing. Whether you watch televisión or not is your decisión. But consider this first. Some people say TV is
educational, but it is an ineffective medium for learning. Though there is a great variety of programs and sometimes they are interesting, many TV
shows offer information that is not accurate. If you really want to learn something, you should read it for yourself.
TV can help you keep informed and it is necessary to know what is happening with people and places around you. However, if you watch the average
news program, you have to waste a long time on useless information. If you really want to be up-to-date, read the newspaper; it is more detailed
and you can choose which stories you read.
The average adult spends about: 2 hours a day watching TV. Let’s say you lived to age 60; you would have spent 5 years of your life ¡n front of the
television. Not only could you be catching up with your family during that time, since watching TV with them it is not real interaction, but you are also
preventing yourself from having new experiences. Do you know what you could do with those extra years? Here’s some advice: create some art, talk
to people, exercise, learn a foreign language or how to play an ¡nstrument. Using those two hours a day for something you “don’t have time for,” will
make you have time for a lot more.
431. What is the author trying to do with the text? 434. According to the text, knowledge from TV.
A. Warning about consequences after a long time watching TV. A. An average person watches TV in a lifetime.

Environmental Education
To the editor:
I will mention my position on Environmental Education (EE) in our society.
The ability to work together towards a common goal is absolutely essential and I consider it appears in childhood, when kids get involved in positive
experiences. I have personally discovered how nature acts positively in their development. I used to organize expeditions to natural reservations with my
son and daughter and we would discover magnificient landscape from which we learned a lot. Those occasions were marvelous.
Vincent Simmons, author of “The Natural Rule”, argues how family environmental organizations are a suitable way to get families outside to learn from
nature and to consider the importance of protecting the planet. Families are more likely to go to natural spaces if another family arrangers to go with them.
In Simmons’ opinion, getting involved in such experiences create suitable conditions for working together, and I agree. Children will feel more comfortable
being outside if others their age are involved too. This new approach can also be transferred to schools where children realize the importance of wildlife
and its protection. Students will get to actually see the animals and habitats they are learning about in subjects such as biology or science.
Active involvement in EE should be applied in the classrooms because kids will learn better and recognize its real world application so the would be able,
for instance, to confirm in what region penguins are normally located. Such involvement may be introduced in academic events aiming at discussing
environmental education, so kids could gain more knowledge of how our planet works and what they can do to take care of it.
436. The writer talks about EE in order to 438. The text suggests that in our current world, EE needs
A. explain in what ways kids can protect our planet. A. more classroom teaching about our planet.

C. persuade peoples that this method is good to teach children. C. more engaged students in our real environment.
D. encourage students to learn about animals natural environment. D. teachers with essential biology knowledge.
437. According to the text, 439. What can a reader find out from this text?
A. exploring nature leads kids to promote EE in their families. A. The effects of nature on parents and children’s relationships.
B. EE helps children to get involved in animal life easily. B. The situations in which the project can be carried out.
C. EE is essential for children to understand school programs. C. The role of parent involved in environmental groups.
D. students are encouraged to admire nature through EE D. The activities families can perform together in excursions.
instruction.
440. A neat way to recommend this system for teachers would

issues.
B. Enviromental instruction is a recent trend to make your students improve their academic performance in science subjects. Give them that opportunity.
C. An advantage of EE is that kids will employ this knowledge to favor their social demands. Accompany them in this extraordinary action.
D. Encourage the children in your classes to use EE in order to create enviromental organizations. Our planet will thank your effort.

SWIFT PIZZA AND SANDWICH HOUSE

Today we have the pleasure of showing you the best letter written by our customer Mark. He wins £25 for writing about us this week. He is so happy
with the orders at Swift Pizza and Sandwich House that he wants to declare a holiday to celebrate his experience here: “ Happy burgerday and Merry
Sandwichmas to everyone!” he wrote.
Wenesday May 18, 2011.
One typical day I was too tired after working all day long to cook for myself, and I was very hungry. I really wanted something to eat, so I decided
to find a burger.
I ordered a half-pound burger and a lamb and chicken sandwich. I also had some special requests about extra cheese and vegetables. Food arrived
very fast (less than twenty minutes) and was hot and fresh. The burger was delicious, and left me wanting more- fortunately I had the sandwich left.
It felt as if it was cut just a minute before I opened it - juicy, fresh, and great.
Every single special request I made was completely satisfied, 100%! And the best thing was that all of the above and some drinks cost me ONLY
10 dollars! If that doesn’t say value for money, I don’t know what it does. It certainly feels great to find new excellent food delivery companies
for whenever you don’t feel like cooking yourself. I recently had a sad experience with my usual take away restaurant, so I decided to change to
something else - and on my first try I got what I wanted! Order now from Swift Pizza and Sandwich House. Mark

JHONATHAN’S TRIP TO COLOMBIA

I went to Colombia last summer. My Journey began on the Caribbean coast and ended on the border with Ecuador. Colombia is a splendid country,
extremely diverse and full of wonderful people. I will tell you why. In south Colombia there is a city called Pereira; just outside you can find a track
where you will see the farm Villa Maria - a hidden paradise in the middle of a varelly. Coffe and plantain grow as far as the eye can see. The farm is
made up of the house and for just $45,000 a night. This includes 3 home cooked meals a day, a swimming pool, and as much coffee as you can drink,
the scene is quite unbelievable. Bamboo chairs rest on the corners of the Villa, mangos hang from the trees, parrots and birds fly wild. A wonderful
man named Hector who runs the farm is happy to show guests around the coffee processing plant. By day, the only sounds are of the horses coming
down the valley side carrying food. By night, the wildlife comes alive, and depending on the time of the year thunderstorms offer a spectacular light
show. Forthose who wish to escape, Villa Maria is the answer.
This is just one attraction of many in Colombia. I could write pages on the country and not get bored. I graduate next year and I can’t wait to return
