The Central Library

Everyone knows the Central Library on the corner of Saint

Peter’s Square in Manchester, England. It is a meeting place
for people of all ages and all the services there are free. The
library has got many books on every subject, from history to
cooking. There are many DVDs, CDs and newspapers, too.
The library has got 40 computers and even the Internet is
free. There is a café in front of the main entrance and every
day it serves hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and cakes.
I love going to the Central Library. I’m at the library at least
twice a week. I sometimes listen to CDs and I often meet my
friends at the library because it’s a good place to study for
exams.

Hi Paula,

I’m sitting in front of my mirror and I don’t like what I see! My hairstyle is ugly
and I hate my clothes. I need a new fashion style.
Please look at the two photos in the attachment. In the first photo, there’s a
blonde girl. I think she looks great! Of course, my hair is shorter and darker than
hers, but I like her hairstyle. What do you think of the way she looks? In the
second picture, the Japanese girl is wearing very colourful clothes and
accessories: a pink sweater, a purple skirt, yellow and pink socks, a yellow hat
and a light blue scarf. Do you think she looks pretty?
I want to find the best style for me. You often read fashion magazines and you
always wear amazing clothes. So please tell me: which fashion style is good for
me?
Love,
Jessie

Eye Tracking
Imagine your eyes can control your computer. No, don’t click that
mouse. Don’t touch that keyboard. Use only your eyes. Look at what
you need. Simply, use your eyes to show the computer what you want.
Is this possible? Not yet, but scientists at Imperial College in London are
working on a new form of technology called eye tracking. These scientists are studying
how the human eye moves when a person sees something. According to the
researcher, Professor Yang, eye tracking can make communication between people and
machines easier.
In the future, scientists want to use the technology of eye tracking to help doctors in
surgery. They also plan to use eye tracking to warn sleepy drivers so they don’t cause
an accident. Eye tracking sounds amazing, but you mustn’t throw out your mouse or
your keyboard yet! Research and inventions can take a long time.

1. What computer parts does eye tracking plan to replace in the future?
.............................................................................................................................................
2. How do people communicate with a computer in the technology of eye tracking?

Dolphins to the Rescue

In 2002, dolphins saved a fisherman, Grant Dickson, from a group of hungry sharks when Dickson’s
fishing boat sank in a storm off the coast of Australia. Thirty-six-year-old Dickson told the
newspapers about his terrible experience.
There were two other fishermen on the boat with Dickson but they died at sea. Dickson swam to a
small boat after his boat sank. The small boat was turned over, but Dickson held on to it. It wasn’t
easy because Dickson was hurt and bleeding badly. Suddenly, sharks came and swam around him.
One shark moved closer and closer to him. He was terribly frightened. Luckily, right then, some
dolphins appeared and swam around Dickson. Dickson understood the dolphins wanted to help
him, and they did. The dolphins chased away the sharks and saved Dickson’s life.
After almost two days of holding onto the small boat, a ship passed by and rescued Dickson.

The Best Elephant Park in the World

My family and I are on holiday in Bali. Tomorrow, we’re going to the Elephant Safari Park. I can’t
wait! I love elephants and this is the best elephant park in the world. I looked at the Internet website
of the park last week and these are my plans for our visit to the park tomorrow:
First we’re going to hand feed the elephants. According to the website, elephants eat about 250
kilogrammes of vegetables and fruit in a day, so it will probably take some time to feed them. Next,
we’re going to ride elephants through the forest. Then, we’re going to watch the elephants painting
pictures! After the elephants finish painting, we’re going to watch them bathing in the park lake. Next,
we’re having lunch at the park restaurant by the lake. Finally, we’re visiting the park museum. It has
got a skeleton of a Mammoth!
Tomorrow will be a special day. I mustn’t forget to take my camera!

Plastic at Sea
Sea animals and birds are in danger. Hunting and global warming is partly responsible for this,
but
the main reason is pollution. The wind blows plastic bags, plastic
bottles and balloons into the sea. Sea animals and birds eat the
plastic because they think it is food. If they eat too much plastic, it
can kill them.
There are millions of plastic bags in the seas and oceans around
the world. The plastic looks like jellyfish, the favourite food of
many sea animals. Balloons are a problem, too. Birds see their
bright colours and mistake them for food. Almost every sea bird
in the world has got some plastic rubbish inside its stomach.
Sharp pieces of plastic sometimes cut the birds’ small stomachs.
Toxic substances in the plastic can poison the birds and kill them.
About 1,000,000 sea birds and 100,000 other sea animals die
every year because of plastic pollution. So, make sure you throw
all your plastic rubbish into a bin!
