Did you know that
Chilean mythology is
characterized by a
multitude of beliefs of
the indigenous people
and others of European
origin?
T
he Guaran were the aborigines that lived
in the Paraguayan forest before the Spanish
people arrived. They were nomads and
they moved around the territory looking for new
lands to farm.
One day, when a tribe was about to move to a
new location, one of the oldest men decided to
stay because he felt tired and weak for the
journey. His daughter Yari stayed with him
because she didnt want to leave him alone. Soon
they had very little to eat. At that moment, the
spirit Tup descended to earth.
Dressed like a nomadic hunter, Tup asked Yari
for food and shelter for the night. Extremely
generous, Yari offered him hospitality and the
last of her food. Her charity surprised the spirit
and he gave her a reward. Yari asked for
something to make her father stronger and
healthier.
Tup used his magic
powers to grow a green
plant with white
flowers. He taught Yari
and her father to
prepare tea using the
plants leaves. When
Yaris father drank the
tea he felt much
better. Tup told
them to share the
plant with the rest of
the tribe. Now, this
beverage brings comfort,
health and endurance to Guaran people.

The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the
world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Years Day. The national
holiday is on 4th July. There are many parades with bands. People cook
and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of
concerts and fireworks.
Americans also have another national holiday, Thanksgiving Day, the
fourth Thursday in November. On this day people usually eat some of the
foods that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc.
In France, the national holiday is on 14th July. There are big parades
with soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and
many events like concerts or operas are free on that day.

Bullying often starts when

can be how big you are, the
color of your skin, or how
you are doing at school.
Bullying can happen to
almost anyone. They are all
ordinary and nice students
who meet a very nasty
person.
If this happens to you,
tell someone you trust: a
friend, a teacher and/or your
parents. During breaks and
lunchtime, try to stay in safe
areas of the school with
many other people. If
someone hurts you, tell a
teacher immediately and
make sure you tell your
parents.
Dont show you are angry or
upset, and dont fight back.
If you do this, think that
they can blame you.
A special type of bullying
is cyber bullying, which uses
electronic devices such as
mobile phones and
computers. "Happy slapping
is a new form of bullying
where bullies film the attacks
on a cell phone camera and
then they share the videos
with their friends.
These attacks are illegal, so
you must report them to a
teacher, parent or even the
police as soon as possible.
They can use any footage on
mobiles as evidence of the
attacks.

Since the beginning of the XX century, English has
become the main language of international
communication. Although Mandarin Chinese and Spanish
both have more native speakers, English is certainly the
world's most popular language in the World.
English is today an 'open' language. It has incorporated
words from Latin, Greek and many modern languages.
For example, many words derive from Hindi, such as
'pajamas' and 'bungalow'.
In Latin American and European countries, English is a
very important foreign language and people usually
learn it at school.
English importance has grown since the World Wars of
the last century. The cinema, music and television have
helped to take American culture into many countries
that listen to American music and watch American
films, sit-coms and cartoons.
There are, of course, various small differences between
the English that people use in different parts of the
world. There are also numerous different accents, none
of which is 'better' than the others.
The most common differences in English are between
American and British English, but in Australia, Scotland
and Ireland there are also differences in vocabulary.
For a long time, people around the world have
considered English as the world's most important
language.
Has this process finished? Only time will answer this
question
Nowadays, more than 300,000,000 people speak English. People speak
English as their first or native language, in countries such as the
United Kingdom, the United States, Australia or New Zealand. In
other countries like Pakistan, India, Guyana or South Africa, English is
not the mother tongue but people speak it as a second language. In
Canada they have two official languages: English and French.

On the second Sunday of

Trie Sur Base, center of the
largest pig area in France,
people celebrate a very
strange festival. There are
piglet races, a pork sausage-
eating contest and a
competition for the best pig
outfit. There's music and

FESTIVALS AND EVENTS
A- La Tomatina - The
World's Biggest Food
Fight
Each year, on the last
Wednesday of August, about
10,000 people converge to
the Spanish town of Buol.
Fireworks light the sky and
people celebrate with
parties on the streets with
wine and traditional paella.
Music plays and people
dance, but they are there
for one thing alone - to
throw about 7 million kilos
of sticky, squishy tomatoes.
At midday, a lot of trucks
carry the red fruit into the
main Town Square. A few
hours later, the town square
magically returns to normal.
C- The Battle of Oranges
Ivrea's carnival, in Italy, is
one of the most famous in
the world because of the
Battle of Oranges. People
throw oranges at each
other... and oranges fly all
over the place. It takes
place in early January and
lasts for 5 days from
Thursday until Tuesday, with
several parades and events,
a lot of parties, food events
and music in the streets
every day.
B- Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling
People celebrate this
festival on the last
weekend in May in
Gloucestershire, England.
The race begins when the
master of ceremonies
violently throws a piece of cheese down a hill. All the
competitors then throw themselves down the hill after the
cheese. The winner keeps the cheese. Children can't take part
in the competition, but there are a few uphill races, one for boys
under 12 and one for girls. They are slower, but entertaining as
well!

AVOCADO
FESTIVAL
The idea of the
California Avocado
Festival began in 1986.
Did you know that
when the Aztec ruler
Moctezuma presented a
gift to Spanish explorer Cortez in 1519, he included avocados along
with gold, silver, and jewels? The inhabitants of Carpenteria,
California, in the USA, commemorate this fact every year with an
event completely centered on the avocado. In fact, if you mention
any other fruit or vegetable at this annual October event, the
people will throw you into the World's Largest Bowl of Guacamole.
Why avocados? Well, Santa Barbara County is the third largest
avocado producer in North America. Why in October? Because
statistics show that October is one of the sunniest months of the
year with the least amount of rainfall.
The Avocado Festival has become one of the largest festivals in
California with three days of fabulous food, terrific music, and great
safe family fun.
The Avocado Festival is free for all to enter. Besides lots of chips and
dip, visitors can take part in some friendly "avo-tivities."
Of course there's a competition for the best guacamole and various
other recipes (ice cream and brownies), but the biggest event is the
Best Dressed Avocado. There's also a photography contest and pop
art show, where anything avocado goes.
Holy guacamole!

C._______________________
He was born in Madrid in 1793
but he then emigrated to
America with his parents
Alejandro Vega and Elena
Felicidad. They settled in
California and became rich. He
returned to Spain to study art
and science at Madrid
University but he always
considered California his home.
When he was back in America
he discovered that the mayor
used his position and influence
to exploit and rob the poor
people. He decided to change
the situation and adopted a
secret identity. He wore a black
mask and rode a black horse,
Tornado. His friend Bernardo
pretended to be a deaf mute
and spied for him.
B.________________________
He is often called the most
famous pioneer and frontier hero.
He explored the area of Kentucky,
USA. He was born in Pennsylvania,
USA on November 2, 1734. When
he was young, he never went to
school or learnt how to read or
write. He spent most of his time
hunting.
The Indians captured and released
him four times but he built a cabin
in Kentucky, and moved his family
there.
In 1775, he led an expedition that
opened a trail through Kentucky.
In 1799, he moved west again,
into Missouri, and died on
September 26, 1820.
Today his image is a mixture of fact
and legend.
El Zorro
A.________________________
He is a legendary English hero.
He lived in Sherwood Forest, in
Nottingham, with his band.
Stories about him and his
adventures began to appear in
the XIV century, but the facts
are uncertain. He was probably
born in 1160. He fought against
injustice and robbed the rich to
give to the poor.
He was also a brave fighter and
was very good with his bow and
arrow. His wife was Maid Marion
and his main enemy was the
Sheriff of Nottingham, who
always tried to capture him but
never could.

6. Read the text and check your prediction in exercise 3.
7. Read the text again and complete the following fact file:
Florence Nightingale was born on
May 12
th
, 1820 in Florence, Italy.
Her family was rich and her
father taught her at home.
In 1844, she had the idea to work
in hospitals. She wanted to be a
nurse but her parents did not
want her to become one. She
disobeyed her parents and she
worked as a nurse at Salisbury
Royal Infirmary and soon became
an expert on hygiene.
In 1853, she found her first 'paid'
job. She worked until October, 1854
and then went to help nurse the British
soldiers of the war in Crimea. The soldiers
thought that Florence Nightingale was a great
lady so when Florence returned to Britain she
was a heroine.
People wrote songs about her and Queen
Victoria and Prince Albert gave her an award.
In 1859 Florence wrote a small book called
'Notes on Nursing', with a special section about
taking care of babies. The book sold
millions of copies all over the world.
In 1860, she opened the
Nightingale Training School for
nurses at St Thomas Hospital in
London where Florence almost
invented modern nursing as we
know it today.
In 1861, Florence became ill. She

A _____________________________________
In ancient times, people invented new machines, materials, and ways of
doing things but no one knows what the first invention was.
Prehistoric inventors found ways to make and keep fires burning. They
invented ways to grow plants for food and learned how to tame
animals. Other great prehistoric inventions were the wheel, pottery, and
ways to build houses.
B _____________________________________
One great invention was the printing press. A German named Johannes
Gutenberg invented a press to print books in the 1400s. Books became
much more common and helped other inventors make new things.
After the invention of the steam engine around 1700, inventors made
many new machines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all
kinds of factory machines.
Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the
invention of automobiles in the late 1800s.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many
scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A.
Edison invented the electric lamp, the phonograph, and other things
that use electricity in the late 1800s.
C _____________________________________
No one knows the names of prehistoric inventors. Until the 1900s, most
inventors worked alone. Today, most inventions come from scientists
and engineers who work in teams. Most of them work for universities,
government agencies, or big companies.

A day in the life of a
firefighter
T
his week were looking at what it takes to be a firefighter and
were talking to Charlie, who has been a firefighter for
nearly six years.
Im lucky because I really love my job. I enjoy working
in a team and I get along with my co-workers. I also like
the contact I have with the public; its great to know that
what I do makes a difference. I have to work on
the weekend a lot, because this is when the
majority of incidents happen.
Occasionally the work can be frustrating because we get hoax
phone calls from people who say they have a problem, but when
we arrive, theres nothing there. We cant ignore any emergency
call and we have to go to investigate, but we discover that they
have just made up a story for fun.
At other times the job can be very dangerous. Sometimes people
are injured because they couldnt get away from the fire quickly
enough. The hardest part of my job is when I see people who are
hurt.
Our work is often very physical, so we have to keep ourselves in good shape. I love
my job and Ill carry on doing it for as long as I can.

I
t was about two oclock in the morning when Count
Cadaver opened his castle door. It was raining and very dark - the
perfect night for a walk! Count Cadaver walked in the direction of the
town. Two thin men were sitting on the cemetery wall, but Count
Cadaver didnt stop and talk to them. Some rats were eating the
trash around a trash can, but Count Cadaver didnt notice them.
The night was cold and the Count wanted a glass of blood. He
hurried through the town to the Cavern Lounge. A tall
woman was standing near the door. She smiled at Count
Cadaver, but he didnt speak to her. He pushed open the door
and went to his favorite place. Some old men were playing
dominoes. A young man and his girlfriend were kissing in the corner.
Three of the Counts friends were playing cards. Count Cadaver didnt say
Hello to anyone. He just went over to the counter. A glass of Blood Light,
please, he said. And you can forget the peanuts. Im on a diet.

The Invention
of the
Bicycle
Written by Rebecca Bond
A long time ago nobody had a bicycle. Nobody
rode a bicycle to school or to work, or to the park
just for fun. Nobody even thought about bicycles.
There were no bicycles!
Then one day someone had an idea and the bicycle
was born! Leonardo da Vinci, a very famous artist,
inventor and scientist, thought a bicycle seemed
like a good invention. He made the first drawing of
a bicycle. That was about 500 years ago.
Unfortunately, he died before his idea became a
real machine, but it was still a good idea, and other
people decided to work on it.
About 300 years ago (200 years after Leonardo did
his drawing), somebody finally made the first
bicycle. It wasnt like the bicycles we have today. It
had wooden wheels and it didnt have any pedals.
Instead of pedaling, the rider sat on the seat and
rolled along by pushing his feet on the ground. It
wasnt perfect, but it was a good start.
Little by little, more inventors made the bicycle
better. They added pedals. They made wheels out
of metal and rubber. They discovered better ways to
steer and to brake.
About 100 years ago, they started making bicycles
that looked very much like the bicycles we ride
today. They were very good bicycles. Suddenly,
everyone wanted a bicycle! Bicycles were a quick
and easy way to get around and, most of all, they
were fun. All the bicycle-building stores were very
busy. They had a lot of business!
Today people all around the
world ride bicycles. They ride
them on dirt roads in small
towns and on crowded streets in
big cities. In some cities there
are so many bicycle riders that it
seems like everyone is riding a
bicycle! Well done, Leonardo!

H
urricane Katrina was the costliest and one of
deadliest hurricanes in the history of the
United States. It was the sixth-strongest Atlantic
hurricane ever recorded. Katrina formed in late
August during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season
and caused devastation along much of the north-
central Gulf Coast of the United States, New
Orleans, Louisiana, and in coastal Mississippi.
Singer and movie star Sharon Hiphop founded an
association to help the families who lived through this
disaster. She explained to us the association's plans.
Reporter: Tell us Sharon, what will the association
do next year?
Sharon: Thank you for asking. We have many
plans for the children and their families. First, well
organize a school club. This club will provide help for
school children and help for schools. Second, well
have a concert in August to raise money for the
association. This money will help to build more houses
or buy the necessary furniture for the houses. Finally,
well organize a marathon, so we can raise money for
medical assitance. We really have great plans.
I love this charity work. You can make other people
happy. I invite all the readers to help and make
