an'unforgettab[e experience'?

Hi Ol iv ia,

You can't imagine what happened last night. Dad took us

out to a famous restaurant, but there weren't many people

there last night. 'An unforgettable experience,'their website

says. Well, i t certainly was unforgettable! We ordered the'exot ic surpr ise'and thought i t was going to be wonderful ,

but it was the most aMul meal I 've ever had! The first course

was chicken and chips! The chicken was bad, but the chips

were worse. Yuck! Then they gave us'picnic-style special

ham with strawberries'. When the waiter brought it, we saw

l i t t le ham sandwiches hiding under some salad. And you

can't believe what happened next. The waiter tried to put the

plates on the table, but he dropped one. And then the worst

thing happened! He picked the sandwich up from the floor,

put i t back on the plate and gave i t to Mum. Mum asked him

to throw the sandwich away. 'Aren't you hungry?'the waiter

asked. My dad got really angry and told him off. But he only

laughed! | t r ied the dessert . lce cream. No comment! (But I

d idn' t eat much.)

Next time we'll take you to thesame restaurant! Just kidding ;-))

Yours,

Thomas

The Australian Men's Wheelchair Basketball team wereonly two points away from winning a gold medal last night.ln the Paralympic Wheelchair Basketball f inal, Canada (theworld and Paralympic Champions) beat Australia 4g:47.

At the end of the third period, Australia were winning by eightpoints. But Canada came back - they played bril l iantly andtook the lead in the last 30 seconds. The Austrarian captainhad a chance at the very end to make the match a draw -but the ball hit the basket and didn't go in. The referee blewthe final whistle and Canada were the champions.

One of the Australian players said: 'We're very proud.We didn't play badly - in fact, we played very well. Butcongratulations to Canada - they played hard and fast and,in the end, they played better than us.'

The Australian team now have a few weeks before theirnext match, but they aren't resting: they are alreadypreparing for the next Paralympic Games. ,We hope thatwe can go furlher than last t ime and win the gold medal, 'the coach said.

First of all, I think that our town needsmore cycle lanes. A lot of teenagers inmy town cycle everywhere, but it's verydangerous because there is a lot of traffic.lf there are more cycle lanes in future, itwill be much safer for us.

Also, I believe that we need more placesfor teenagers to go. In my opinion, weneed more clubs and other places wherewe can meet. Teenagers won't causeproblems in the street if there are moreplaces for us to go to.

ln addition, teenagers here need moresports facilities. There are places toplay ball games like tennis and football,but what about other sports, likeskateboarding and rollerblading?

Finally, I'm sure that we'll make the townbetter if we don't drop lifter. Our town willbe much better for everyone in the future,if we all do something to help now.

It's a good idea - but l'm sure it won't be free. Other citieshave already tried it and it hasn't stayed free. Most of themcharge about $10 a month.

I've just read Mike's post. Incredible! | don't want to writeemails from an elevator or my gardenl I think this is goingtoo far. There are other things the city government couldspend the money on, aren't there? - for example, moresidewalks or a better bus system.

ren does a teenatit happens on your 18th birthday, but in some parts of the, but in

world, you have to do something special to enter the world of adults.

0n the island of Papua New Guinea, the Niowra tribe lives nearthe Sepik River, which is full of crocodiles. The people believethat crocodiles made the Earth and its people. When it is time forteenage boys to become men, a 'crocodile ceremony' takes place.

The boys are taken to a hut called 'The Crocodile Nest'. The hut isfull of crocodile teeth and skulls. The boys are told to think of theircrocodile 'fathers

and mothers' to help them to be strong and brave.Then they are beaten several times a day for six weeks and bamboois used to make cuts on their chests and their backs. The boys play

the drums together during their time in the hut - this helps them tofeel that they are not alone. The Niowra believe that this ceremonymakes the boys stronger and braver, so that they can survive inthe dangerous forest. They also say that the boys don't feel thepain if they believe in their crocodile 'fathers and mothers'. Andthe amazing thing is that some of the boys sleep through the mostpainful parts of the ceremony!

When the ceremony isover, there is singingand dancing and thecrocodile men are givenadult responsibilities inthe village.

Do you know of anyceremonies for teenagersto become adults in othercountries? Are there anyin your country?

1 What insects is the text about?

2 How do these insects normatlv [ive?

A Earthquakes. Floods.Hurricanes. Tsunamis. It se'enis

that every day we read about at least one of these

somewhere in the world. But every yeaq somewhere,

another kind of disaster causes great damage to

plants and people. It's something much smaller and

not so well-known as an earthquake or a tsunami -

it's an insect called the locust.

The locust usually does things alone - it lives on its

own and eats on its own. But, sometimes, something

changes the way nature works. When the number

of locusts inCreases somewhere and there are lots of

plants to eat, the locusts get together in 'swarms'.

Perhaps the most dangerous locust is the desert locust.

It is found in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia in

about 60 countries altogether. When desert locusts

swarm, they bring problems to one-tenth of all the

humans in the world.

The numbers are huge and frightening. A swarm of

desert locusts can be 1,200 km2 in size imagine an

area that is over 20 kilometres wide and 50 kilometres

long, full of locusts! And there can be 50 million

locusts in each square kilometre. Each locust eats

its own weight in plants every day - so a swarm of

desert locusts can eat more than 150 million kilos of

food in one day. They can also fly very long distances- in 1954 a swarm of locusts from northwest Africa

flew thousands of miles to finally land in Great

Br i ta in!

It's no wonder that farmers in many countries of the

world fear the desert locust more than snakes and

spiders. It's the desert locust that destroys the harvest

The brain is very Iight so it doesn't need a lot of oxygen.

You can remember information better if you talk about it.

It 's not good to try to learn something for too [ong.

It's easier to remember one big piece of informationthan several smatler pieces.

Our memory works best when we are angry.'Making pictures' in our mind helps us rememberinformation.

One of the best ways of remembering is tomake 'pictures' on the 'movie-screen' of yourmjnd - and ifs fun tool Experts say that ourbrain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes,if we want to remember new information, ithelps to make a picture story. Anyone canlearn to do this. Imagine someone wants togo shopping for the foltowing things:
