A very long time ago there was an English king called Uther Pendragon. He married a woman called Lady Igraine and they had a son, Arthur. King Uther had lots of enemies, so Merlin, a magician, took Arthur away and gave him to a friend to look after. The friend never told Arthur that his father was the King of England. When King Uther died, Merlin called all the Lords together. He told them that the person who could pull the magical sword. Excalibur, from the stone it was in, would be the next king of England. The only man able to pull the sword out was Arthur, so he became the new king. Arthur was a good king. When he married Lady Guinevere, her father gave him the famous Round Table as a wedding gift. Arthur ruled England with the help of his brave knights. One of them. Sir Lancelot, fell in love with Guinevere. When Arthur found out about it he sentenced Guinevere to death. Lancelot saved Guinevere and they ran away together. King Arthur was very angry and chased after them. While he was away he left his nephew. Mordred, in charge of the kingdom. Mordred tried to take over, though, and Arthur returned to stop him. There was a huge battle and both Mordred and Arthur died. When Guinevere heard what had happened she went to France and became a nun. Lancelot spent the rest of his life alone.

Hi Thomas! How are you. I hope your exams went well! Ive finished mine, thank goodness, and now I’m at the Notting Hill Carnival in london. It’s really amazing! There are so many colourful parades to see. the costumes, dancers and steel bands are just fantastic and there are some great music performers and DJs. I even took a ‘Samba’ dance class today! The streets are crowded with people, so the atmosphere is lively. They say about a million people come to the Carnival each year! Theres also delicious carnival food that you can buy from street vendors! I’ve already tried quite a bit of traditional West Indian food, like chicken, rice and peas and corn soup. Tomorrow Im going to try sugar cane that you hold in your hand and chew! Visit me next summer and maybe we can go together! Write soon. Love, Emily

This week in our ‘Culture Now’ page, we take a look at some of the noisiest and most colourful festivals and traditions around the world. All of these festivals have a common theme: fire! In Britain, a man called Guy Fawkes and twelve other men planned to blow up the English Parliament and King James I on 5th November, 1605. Every year on this day, people organise firework displays and build huge bonfires to burn dummies of Guy Fawkes. Children love to wave sparklers and sometimes people eat special ‘Bonfire Night’ food, such as warm soup, sausages or even baked potatoes cooked around the base of the fire. In the Shetland Islands, Scotland a similar festival called “Up Helly Aa” takes place. Every year, on the last Tuesday in January, local people take part in parades and fire festivals to remember the islands’ link to the Vikings. People dress up in Viking costumes, drag a longboat through the streets and finally throw fire torches into it and watch it burn. Maybe you like to celebrate New Year with a bang? In some cities in Colombia, people put little fireworks inside a doll with objects that bring unhappy memories. At midnight on New Year’s Eve, they burn the doll to forget everything bad that happened that year. In some villages in Scotland, people set barrels of tar on fire at New Year and roll them through the streets. They do this to burn up the old year and let the new year in.

rab your winter coat, gloves and hat because we’re going to take a look 0) at the coldest place on Earth! Scientists recorded a temperature of -89 °C there 1) in 1983 - the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth! Antarctica isn’t just the coldest place on Earth, but 2) the wettest and driest place, too. ‘But that’s impossible!’ you say. Well, no actually! Ice covers 98% of Antarctica. In fact, it has 90% of all the ice and 70% of 3) all the fresh water in the whole world! So how can Antarctica also be the driest place on Earth? Well, about the same amount of precipitation (rain 4) or snow) falls there as in the Sahara Desert. Basically, that’s not a lot - less 5) than 5 cm per year. In one interior region of Antarctica, called The Dry Valleys, the last time 6) it rained was about 2 million years ago! This is because 7) of very strong winds that drive away all the moisture in the air. With freezing temperatures, no water, and no animal or plant life, conditions in The Dry Valleys are 8) a bit like conditions on the planet Mars!

D u o r m L E i» P l a t y p u s The platypus has a flat body. It has a bill or beak like a duck’s, webbed feet with five claws for digging and a short, flat tail. The bill and feet o f a platypus are black while the fur is usually a dark brown colour. The platypus swims well but not very fast. Vt'hile swimming, it has its eyes and ears shut. It finds its way with its bill, which also helps it to find food. While underwater it stores any food it finds in its cheeks. The platypus is a poisonous mammal. Its poison can cause pain to man but it can kill smaller animals. Its fur is one o f the most waterproof in the animal kingdom. It is now a protected species.

You can find the platypus in Eastern Australia, in and around streams and rivers. It lives in holes underground.

The platypus is one of only two mammals which lay eggs (the other is the echidna, an anteater also from Australia).

The platypus is a shy animal that spends most of its time alone. It sleeps during the day and comes out at night.

The platypus eats shrimps, frogs and fish eggs.

With its bill, the platypus can sense the creatures it wants to eat. It also has an excellent sense of sight and hearing.

Wonderdog Pulls Owner from Car Crash Endal the wonderdog, already named Dog of the Millennium and Brightest Dog on Earth, made national news headlines again yesterday after a car hit his owner’s wheelchair outside a hotel. In 1991, Allen Parton was sitting outside the hotel when the speeding car threw him from his chair and knocked him out. While he was unconscious, Endal rolled him over with his teeth into the recovery position. After this, he got a blanket from his bag and covered him with it! The dog then got Allen’s mobile phone out of his bag and held the phone up to his face. Finally, he ran back to the hotel and barked until people came out to help. Allen didn’t know C_ that Endal could do any of these things! Mr Parton was disabled from the tragic accident. For \ years now, Endal has been everything to him; his best \ friend, his banker, his travel agent, his home help and \ many other things. ‘He even buys the ticket on the bus \ and collects it from the machine,’ says Allen. ‘He has \ helped me in so many ways.’ b.

only happen if there are moderate1 to strong winds blowing in the same direction at sea level. There also has to be a big difference between the atmospheric pressure at sea level and at higher levels. When a storm becomes a cyclone, winds and clouds start twisting2 around an “eye”. This is the centre of the storm. Everything is calm there. Cyclones twist anti-clockwise3 if they are in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise if they are in the southern hemisphere. Winds can blow as fast as 250km per hour. When a cyclone hits land, it can damage buildings, trees and cars. A cyclone can be very dangerous. Thanks to satellites, scientists can spot them early and warn4 people who live near the coast about them. 1not extreme 2going round and round

Dear Andy, !► It was great to hear from you. I’m fine but a bit busy with schoolwork! gj* Anyway, you asked me about that new shopping centre that has just opened. Well, actually I went there with Bill yesterday! It’s really huge! It has some excellent shops and a big food court with restaurants and cosy cafés. The outside is nice too, with two beautiful fountains surrounded by trees. There are also two car parks, so it’s really easy to park. !► In the shops, most of the prices seemed reasonable. I found a shop with trainers on sale so I bought two pairs. Then, I went to a huge bookshop while Bill shopped for some new trousers. £► The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that it was crowded. Also, some of the sales assistants were quite slow. I think I’ll go back in a couple of weeks when it’s not so crowded. Hey, why don’t you come along? Talk to you soon, Geoff ________________ 3

Think o f a custom related to fo od and drink in your country and tell th e class a b o u t it. (Ss' own answers)

nna, seventh Duchess of Bedford, often felt hungry and tired at around four o’clock in the afternoon during the long interval between lunch and dinner. One day in 1840, she asked for a tray of tea, bread & butter and cake. It soon became fashionable for rich women to change into long gowns, gloves and hats and to gather in each other’s houses for traditional afternoon tea. This consisted of cucumber sandwiches, cakes and pastries or scones with cream and jam. They also drank tea, of course, which they poured from silver pots into delicate china cups. These days, afternoon tea in the average British home is more likely to be just a small cake or biscuit and some tea, probably made with a tea bag straight into a mug!

A

Our tea room has been serving lunches, snacks and traditional afternoon teas since 1912. Afternoon tea is from 3 pm to 5.30 pm daily and includes a wide selection of teas and freshly-baked cakes and scones.

An Inventive

150 Years

It’s not easy being an inventor. Even if you do come up with a brilliant and original invention, you still have to make sure that no one else steals your idea. That is why the Patent Office exists. These are some of the inventions registered at the British Patent Office. Hubert Cecil Booth, from London, invented a machine powered by electricity which would suck up dirt. His invention was granted a patent in 1901 as the world’s first vacuum cleaner.

90

In 1923, a watch repairer from the Isle of Man, John Harwood, realised that winding watches often caused dirt to get into the mechanism. He developed the self-winding wristwatch, which had an internal mechanism and was much more accurate. One invention which helped to make the world a smaller place was the jet engine. This was invented by Sir Frank Whittle, from Coventry. His invention made travel for business and pleasure much faster and easier.

995

In 1995, Keith Campbell and Ian Wilmut, from Edinburgh, developed an invention which people have been arguing about ever since. They invented a way to clone animals, and in 1997, Ian Wilmut cloned Dolly the sheep. It seems that Charles H. Duell, the US Commissioner of Patents, was very wrong when he said, in 1899, “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” Is there anything left to be invented? We will have to wait and see.

How it all began On 1st October, 1958 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (or NASA) was created by the US government. In 1961, Alan Shepherd became the first American astronaut to fly into space. NASA’s greatest achievement, however, was on 20th July, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. NASA’s Mission NASA’s original aim was to develop America’s space programme, but it does much more than that. NASA Administrator, Sean O ’Keefe, claims that they want to do what has never been done before, and that their mission is: "To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can." The International Sp ace Station (ISS) The International Space Station has been home to NASA astronauts, as well as astronauts from Russia, Canada, Japan, France and Italy, since November 2000. The astronauts carry out scientific research and work on the space station itself. They have free time to cook, read and play games, just like they would have on Earth. The only problem is that they have to do all these things without gravity! Mission to Mars NASA has wanted to put an astronaut on Mars for many years. However, this is much more difficult than sending a man to the Moon. First of all, Mars is much further away, and it would take between 100 and 250 days to get there. Also, Mars has much stronger gravity, so it is hard to land and take off again. Despite these problems, NASA has already sent unmanned missions to Mars and they are determined that by 2019, man will walk on the ‘Red Planet’.

Unit 5c ♦ Tapescript for Exercise 4 (p. 38) Presenter: Tonight on Modern History, we are going to

be talking about a disaster which touched the lives of everyone in Britain - the Herald o f Free Enterprise ferry disaster. Historian, Marion Downs, is here in the studio. Marion, w hat exactly happened to the Herald o f Free Enterprise? M a rio n : Well, James, let me start by telling your listeners a little bit about the ship. The Herald o f Free Enterprise was a ferry and belonged to the British ferry company, Townsend Thoreson. Its regular route was from Dover, in Britain, to Zeebrugge, in Belgium. Presenter: And it was in Zeebrugge th a t the disaster happened, w asn't it? M ario n: Yes, that's right. On March 6th, 1987, the Herald o f Free Enterprise was in the harbour at Zeebrugge. Somehow, the crew members forgot to close the cargo doors and water began to come in. Just 23 minutes after the ferry left the harbour, the ship started to sink. The water was only th irty feet deep, so when one side o f the ship hit the bottom , the other side was still above the water. Presenter: So, were most o f the passengers rescued? M arion: Well, the coastguard came immediately and rescued most o f the passengers. Sadly, 193 o f the 500 passengers and crew died from injuries caused when the ferry rolled over. Presenter: So, w hat are ferry companies doing to make sure th at a disaster like this never happens again? M a rio n : Well, these days there are cameras outside most ships to make sure th at all doors are closed before they leave the port. Presenter: Marion, thank you for joining us today. I'm afraid that's all we've got tim e for this week on Modern History, but we'll be back next Tuesday, when History professor, Richard Morrell, will be joining us ...

Unit 9b ♦ Tapescript fo r Exercise 3 (p. 69) Thomas Alva Edison was one o f the greatest inventors o f our time. Born on February 11, 1847, in the US State o f Ohio, he later lived in New Jersey, where he worked in a place called Menlo Park. People soon began to call him The Wizard o f Menlo Park' because o f the wonderful things he invented. Although Edison had very little education and only attended school for three months o f his life, he was fascinated by science and worked in his laboratory for many hours. He invented the electric light, the phonograph and the motion-picture camera. Edison also made improvements to the telegraph and the telephone.
