3. READING
Every year my wife and I go on a camping holiday in France. Although this is something we both really enjoy, this year I wanted to go somewhere I’d never been before and do something exciting. We did some research and came up with the idea of going to the US. We chose a kayaking holiday in the southern state of Georgia. Neither of us had ever been kayaking before, but we managed to find a package which included lessons for
beginners. Georgia is an amazing place; it’s a crossroad of different cultures and it has had a fascinating and at times violent
past. It is also a place of untouched natural beauty, with nature parks and an unspoilt coastline. We went to Cathead Creek, an area rich in wildlife and scenery. Our kayaking instructor was a friendly local called Frank. As my wife and I had never been kayaking before, we found the first few lessons a bit challenging. In spite of this, Frank was
Would you like to see amazing wildlife and breathtaking scenery? Do you want to learn about a unique culture? If your answer is yes then you should follow in the footsteps of Mike Smith and take a trip to the state of Georgia in America.

always very patient and he would constantly offer words of encouragement. After some practice, we became more confident and realised it wasn’t that difficult. We also did a safety course and Frank made us aware of any potential dangers, including the alligators in the swamp! After completing the course, we felt ready for adventure and we decided to go further out along the Darien River. As we glided down the river, I felt a delicious shiver of fear run up my spine as I recalled Frank’s words of advice before we left, ‘Watch out for the alligators.’ �
We quietly slipped past a huge alligator, its unblinking eyes staring at us with mild interest. We paddled on and watched brightly coloured birds fly over the water. We stopped to have some bread and cheese and admire the view. We saw fishing boats returning with their catch of Georgian shrimp, which is the region’s culinary speciality and is definitely worth trying if you visit Georgia. We also spent a few days on Cumberland Island, which is one of the many islands off Georgia’s coast. Cumberland Island is a protected paradise, which makes it both secluded and peaceful. We rented bicycles and followed a trail which led to a beautiful beach. On the following day, we took a tour of the island and this gave us the opportunity to see all kinds of amazing wildlife. It was a wonderful experience and, without a doubt, Cumberland Island is a place of unbelievable beauty.
As my wife is interested in history, we also dedicated some time to visiting various museums. I particularly enjoyed the Geechee Kunda Visitor’s Centre, which some locals had recommended - here we learnt about the first Africans that had been brought to the region in slave ships. A huge cotton and rice empire was built in Georgia using the Africans as workers. The Africans had been taken from different parts of West Africa and each group had their own culture, language, knowledge and music which they brought into their everyday life. After the Civil War the rice and cotton plantations were burnt down and the owners left, leaving the slaves behind. As a result, a unique culture was created known as Geechee. The Geechee people spoke their own language, which was a mix of various West African languages. In the present day, the Geechee Visitor’s Centre has made a huge effort to record the history and culture of these unique people. It was a fascinating experience and something that enriched our visit to Georgia.
We returned from our holiday feeling happy and relaxed and we plan to go back to Georgia next year! �

Ellen MacArthur is the inspirational woman sailor who on February 7,
2005 broke the world record when she became the fastest person to sail
around the world. Ellen became interested in sailing at the age of eight
when she was taken aboard her aunt’s sailing boat. This was an exciting
experience for a young girl living in land-locked Derbyshire so far from
the coast.
Ellen faced many difficulties in becoming a professional sailor because
she lacked sponsorship. Despite this, she raised enough money to buy
a boat and when she was twenty, she entered the Mini Transat race in
France and sailed her boat 3000 miles across the Atlantic in just 33 days.
Impressed by this remarkable achievement, a group called Kingfisher
gave Ellen sponsorship. Ellen’s career as a sailor really took off after this,
particularly in France, where she was adored by the public and was given the official title ‘Sailing’s Young Hope’.
Next, Ellen entered the Vendee Globe competition with her new boat Kingfisher; she exceeded all expectations and
finished second. The greatest challenge for her was spending over 90 days alone facing terrifying storms at sea. Ellen
showed remarkable determination, courage and endurance.
Ellen went on to become the fastest solo sailor to sail around the world in 2005. In recognition of her achievement,
she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Ellen is a woman who has succeeded despite all
odds being against her and she is an inspiration to us all.

The Earth’s temperature has increased by about one degree Fahrenheit over the past 100 years. This is referred to as global warming and it causes changes in the world’s climate. For example, an increase in temperature will result in more rainfall, and flooding; this will have serious effects on humans, wildlife and plants. Global warming is a serious threat to our planet and scientists around the world are frantically working to develop new ways to deal with this problem. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have come up with their own innovative idea; they plan to build a fleet of unmanned ships that will travel through the ocean creating waves that will help reduce global warming. The ships will patrol specific areas

of ocean, and spray tiny drops of sea water into clouds. These drops will brighten and whiten the clouds; the result of this is that the heat of the sun will be better reflected into space thus reducing global warming. The system will run on wind and sea water so there is no harm to the environment. The ships can be sent to the Arctic to reduce the temperature or they could be sent to seas around coral reefs which are threatened by increasing temperatures. It is planned that they will be sent to areas that have a lot of sunlight, and reliable winds but not violent or stormy winds. Also, places with large amounts of air pollution and dust would reduce the ships’ efficiency. Scientists have already identified the seas off the coast of Namibia, California and Peru as potential locations to operate the ships. The effects on the climate caused by the ships can be adjusted, increased or decreased according to our needs and they will be controlled by computers and staff in a special traffic room. The ‘cloud ships’ as they are called are going to be powered by rotors and the wind. The technology used to propel the ships was used over eighty years ago but has not been used since then; however, last month a German company launched a rotor powered cargo vessel. The availability of more modern materials, the increasing price of oil and the fact the ships are computer friendly has caused a return to this technology. The main questions we must ask is: will this actually work? Will the ships succeed in controlling global warming? Scientists have published a paper showing that when clouds over the oceans of a planet are made brighter or whiter, this cools the planet. They believe that the technology will help stabilise global warming until 2050. The ships will have a number of other uses, for example, they can act as science labs while they are in the water, taking water and air samples which will be analysed. Also, it is planned that the boats will have emergency supplies onboard in order to also act as rescue boats. These ships may be the answer to the problem of global warming and it is hoped that they will eventually become a reality.

If you fancy something different for your next summer
holiday, Senegal has so much to offer that it might just
be the place for you. Whether it’s a family trip or a solo
traveller going in search of meaning and adventure,
Senegal has something to suit all tastes.
Once you set foot on the hot, dusty streets of the capital city
of Dakar, the vibrant atmosphere of the city hits you. The
locals strut about in a visual explosion of dazzling African
fabrics. You might find yourself stuck in a traffic jam on
Dakar’s busy roads, but the people are so good-natured and
friendly that you won’t even notice time slip by.
In the markets of Dakar, you can buy anything ranging
from traditional African fabrics, wooden carvings, fresh
fruit and meat (The cow is slaughtered in front of you!).
An impressive selection of food can be found on almost
every street corner; fresh grilled fish, skewered lamb and
rice are the most popular. The shoppers bargaining for
the best price, the upbeat rhythms of Senegalese pop and
the exciting mixture of smells are sure to stimulate all
your senses.
No matter what your tastes are, there’s lots to do in
Dakar, The city has an international music scene which
includes big names like Youssou N’Dour and the R &
B star Akon. Music is everywhere, from the small side
streets to the major roads; the air is filled with the
rhythmic mix of beats that make up the soundtrack of
the city. Football is also big in Senegal, in fact, it’s just
as important as music. If you would like to see a game,
prepare yourself for blowing horns, live bands, beating
drums and African-style cheerleaders. It is impossible
not to get caught up in all the excitement. Water sports
enthusiasts must visit Yor beach; surfers, amateur and
experienced alike, happily ride the warm Atlantic waves
that crash gently onto the white beach.
If you want to see more of Senegal’s natural
environment, visit the Siné-Saloum area. Check into a
tree hotel and sleep in a cabin in the enormous baobab
trees, which are characteristic of this area. It is peaceful
and the perfect place to chill out and relax after the
hectic pace of Dakar. There’s plenty to see and do too;
you can watch wrestling matches at the nearby village or
go kayaking in the mangrove swamps.
Senegal is a country rich in culture and beauty; it will
enchant and entertain you and leave you wanting to
come back again.

line 2
line 18
The Western film industry today is closely associated with Hollywood, USA. But Bollywood, its Eastern equivalent, has gained tremendous popularity and is considered to be one of the largest film-producing industries worldwide. Bollywood got its name from the merging of the words Bombay - the former name for the city of Mumbai - and Hollywood. It is used to refer to the film industry based in that Indian city, not to all of Indian cinema as is sometimes mistakenly believed. Bollywood films are for the most part musicals and the language spoken is Hindi. Nevertheless, due to their ever growing international popularity, more films are featuring Indian English and some are now exclusively in English. Bollywood films have been around since 1913 when the first silent film was produced in India and by the 1930s over 200 films were produced annually. The industry has had peaks and troughs over the decades; however, in 2000 there was a boom in Bollywood film popularity around the world. A new generation of actors and actresses caught the public’s eye, in particular, Aishwarya Rai – who is believed by many to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Bollywood films are usually a three-hour dazzling extravaganza of music, song and dance. Often the plot of the film is melodramatic; there are usually conflicts between characters, a lot of drama and desperate villains trying to hurt the main characters. A Bollywood film will both entertain and thrill you as well as provide you with considerable insight into Indian culture.

Mardi Gras in New Orleans
The New Orleans Mardi Gras festival is a world famous
carnival that has been taking place in the city for centuries.
The tradition came to New Orleans from Paris, where it had
been celebrated since the Middle Ages. 1 Back then, the
celebrations included balls, parades and various parties, and
they were organised by secret societies called ‘krewes’. In the
present day, more ‘krewes’ have been formed and they continue
to carry on the festive tradition of Mardi Gras.
A visit to New Orleans by Duke Alexis
Alexandrovitch Romanoff of Russia inspired the choice
for the traditional colours of Mardi Gras. 2 Also, the
invention of the King of Carnival-Rex was created as a result
of the Duke’s visit. He soon became the symbol of Mardi
Gras and each year an upstanding member of the community
was selected to reign over the carnival. In 1873, the organisers
held their first ball during which they selected the Queen of
Carnival. Ever since, balls have been organised every year.
3 The Queen was always a debutante, a young woman
making her first important social appearance.
There were various carnival ‘krewes’, notably the
Proteus Krewe, who had a sparkling parade on their first
appearance with an ancient Egyptian theme. The Zulu Krewe
was formed in the twentieth century. It was comprised of
members of the black community of New Orleans and they
took their name from the fierce Zulu warriors of Africa.
4 One of their most famous Kings was the singer Louis
Armstrong, who ruled during the 1949 carnival. Today, they
are still one of the most important ‘krewes’.
Food is also a large part of the carnival and one of
the most popular kinds of food is the King Cake. It is sold in
bakeries and delicatessens around the city during the carnival
season. The cake is made of braided Danish pastry which is
laced with cinnamon. It is iced using the Mardi Gras colours,
purple, green and gold and hidden inside the cake is a plastic
baby. 5
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept through New
Orleans with devastating consequences, and many residents of
the city doubted if the carnival would take place in 2006.
6 Many of the people who took part in organising the
carnival had lost their homes and belongings in the hurricane
but they didn’t let this affect the carnival atmosphere and the
residents’ enthusiasm was stronger than ever.
The New Orleans Mardi Gras season is very special.
7 So, if you want to be thrilled and entertained, why don’t
you visit New Orleans for their next Mardi Gras?

3. RE ADING
Copenhagen-The fairytale city
Copenhagen is a perfect weekend break destination for anyone who wants to enjoy art, culture,
and beautiful architecture. Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and it is one of Europe’s
most charming cities. Over the centuries, fishing and trading turned the place into a
prosperous town and in 1343 King Valdemar Atterdag made it the capital of Denmark.
The city of Copenhagen and the surrounding areas have many different things to offer visitors
including museums, art galleries, restaurants, botanical gardens, the Tivoli Gardens and lots
more. It is located about 40 minutes outside the city in a 19th century villa which
is built on a hillside which slopes downwards to the sea. It has an excellent collection of
international contemporary art and various interesting temporary exhibitions. Also, the Black
Diamond, Denmark’s striking Royal Library, is well worth a visit. The outside of the
building is made of glass and marble and it houses a concert hall and waterfront café. Another building worth visiting while in the city is
the new Opera House, which is built on the waterfront and is a magnificent example of modern architecture.
There is a bright spacious public area where you can enjoy views over the water and inside the building is a traditional horseshoe-shaped
auditorium decorated with warm colours.
A trip to Copenhagen would be incomplete without visiting the Little Mermaid. She was created in honour of the Danish
author, Hans Christian Andersen, who entertained children around the world with his fairytales. The story of the mermaid who rescued a
shipwrecked prince is particularly well-known.
