My name is David and I’m from Wales. My friends are all very good

at sports but I am not. My favourite hobby is listening to music.

I am in the school music club and I can play the guitar very well.

My dream is to become a famous rock star.

3 a) Look at the sentences before and after

the first gap and read the sentences A-E.

Are any of the sentences related?

b) Do the task. Compare your answers

with a partner.

is the text about? Read through and check.

A Tennis and the martial art taekwondo are twoof the newest ones.

B Athletes come from countries all over the world.C It’s an event for athletes who have got special

The Olympic GamesThe Olympic Games are the biggest

and most famous sport event in the

world. There are three kinds of

Olympics – the Summer Olympics,

the Paralympics and the Winter Olympics. A different city

has the Summer Olympics every four years. The Games are

during two weeks of July or August. Then the same city has the

Paralympics. American swimmer Jessica Long, for

example, hasn’t got legs, but she has got lots of medals.

The Winter Olympics are in February or March two years after

the summer events, in a different city. There are 28 Summer

Olympic sports. Some of the oldest Olympic sports are boxing

and running. Jamaican runner Usain Bolt is one of the

most famous 21st-century Olympians. He has longer legs than

the other runners. He’s also very tall – 1.96 m – and his arms

are well-built. Bolt is the fastest athlete in the world. He can run

the 100 m in 9.58 seconds and the 200 m in 19.19 seconds. He

has Olympic gold medals for both events.

There are 15 sports in the Winter Olympics. Ice hockey is one

of the most popular of all. It’s also one of the hardest, because it’s

so fast. The Canadians, Czechs, Finns, Russians, Slovakians,

Swedes and Americans are the best ice hockey players of all.

Cold countries have got the best winter sport athletes.

But Spain has won just two medals at the Winter Games!

Houses with roof gardens are cool in summer and warm in

winter. They are also a great place to relax. But soil and

plants can be very heavy. Can your roof hold the extra

weight? This is a question you can ask an expert.

Now you are ready to begin. Tall plants and shrubs are great

for extra shade. Remember, too, some plants are better in

natural light than others, and they haven’t got a problem in

the wind and cold. These are the best choice for your roof.

Regular watering is important. You can water your plants by

hand or with an automatic watering system. It’s easier with a

tap on your roof. It can cost a bit extra but it’s worth it!

Finally, there is a great selection of garden furniture in the

shops. They’ve got special lightweight tables and chairs that

are perfect for roofs, and they’re strong too. Some people

have even got a barbecue for fun get-togethers with family

and friends!

Do you buy your milk in cartons, bottles

or bags?

People in countries, such as Canada,

China and India, buy milk in bags. In

the UK, though, milk mostly comes

in plastic bottles or cartons.

Sainsbury’s, which is a big

supermarket chain in the UK,

sells milk in bags to shoppers.

Every week, people in the

UK drink 180 million pints of milk.

120 of these 180 million pints come in plastic bottles.

That’s a lot of plastic bottles! Unfortunately, many people

in the UK don’t recycle their plastic milk bottles.

Milk bags contain 75% less plastic than milk bottles. This

means that they are better for the environment than milk

bottles. Sainsbury’s says that putting milk in bags instead

of bottles could save over 1,000,000 kg of plastic a year.

This means a lot less plastic waste in bins. Sainsbury’s is

spending millions of pounds to advertise milk in bags to

its customers in an effort to make customers aware of how

they can help the environment. The new packaging is not

only environmentally-friendly, but milk bags are also

cheaper than milk bottles, so customers can save money

and help protect the environment at the same time.

Right now, Sainsbury’s is selling milk in

bags in a few of its stores to see how

popular it is. The new packaging is

already gaining popularity although

some customers are still reluctant

to buy it. They think the bags are

difficult to use because they leak

easily and it is very easy to spill

the milk. Nevertheless,

Tesco, another huge

supermarket chain,

is joining forces

with Sainsbury’s.

Exploring the world

William Dampier was a pirate but he wasn't just a typical

pirate. He attacked ships and stole things but he also wanted

to explore and describe all the different lands he saw. He

journeyed around the world three times, visited places only

very few people ever saw and kept a detailed journal of

everything. He drew and collected plants wherever he went.

Later, he published his journal in his best-selling book, A New

Voyage Around the World, in 1697. His book inspired the work of

some of the most famous scientists, explorers and writers of all

time, including Charles Darwin and Jonathan Swift.

B

Nowadays, you can get on a plane and be on anothercontinent within hours, but until recently the only way to getfrom one continent to another was by sea and the journeytook months. There were still many distant places that peopledidn’t know of and for centuries explorers sailed around theworld looking for new lands. Among the very first explorerswere the Phoenicians. They sailed far from their home inmodern Lebanon and explored many regions of theMediterranean. Legend says that their Queen Dido foundedCarthage almost three thousand years ago and some scientistsbelieve that they even sailed as far as America.

The Guinness Book of Records says that ex-army officerRanulph Fiennes is the world’s greatest living explorer. Hewas the first person to visit both the North and South Polesby surface means and the first to completely cross theAntarctica on foot. In July and August 1981, he and a friendof his sailed around the world, the wrong way. Their journeywas the first open boat crossing from West to East andcovered around 4,800 km. In 2003, he ran seven marathonson seven continents in seven days, and in May 2009, at theage of 65, he climbed to the summit of Mount Everest.

Last year, Anna Jones

had the travel experience

of a lifetime. She took the

world’s greatest railway

journey – the Trans-Siberian

Railway – from Moscow to Vladivostock. Here are her tips for taking

this amazing journey.

First, consider where you want to end up. Two end in

Beijing and one ends in Vladivostock. Beijing is a wonderful city to

visit, but there isn’t a lot to see in Vladivostok.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway are the same all year.

Taking the Trans-Siberian Railway in the winter is a good

idea because flights to Moscow are cheaper then.

The journey from Moscow to Vladivostock takes seven days and

can be very tiring. There are lots of interesting places to see in

1

2

Siberia, so break up the journey by staying a night or two

somewhere along the way.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is incredibly popular, so tickets sell out

very quickly. I tried to get tickets in November for December,

but none were available until February.

I decided to learn some useful Russian phrases before my trip and

I’m glad I did. Knowing some Russian - or at least having a

phrasebook - is essential because it’s rare to meet anyone on the

trains who speaks English.

The train makes frequent stops to pick up new passengers.

I’ve heard stories of passengers who got off the train to go

sightseeing, missed the train leaving, and had to wait a whole week

for another train.

At every stop, local women come to sell you food that they have

cooked at home. A fellow passenger advised me to avoid the railway

shops and to buy my meals from these women. It was good advice

because that was some of the tastiest food I’ve ever eaten.
