In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. It also increases forgetfulness. He does not know what to say. Аудіювання, 9 клас Listening Comprehension Test. Text Text Weather has a powerful effect on people. She was feeling sick. People in these states tend to have heart attacks after the weather changes in February or March. Any problems that pop up can usually be solved through the use of my pigeon French and a bit of tact. Good luck, and happy reading! What did the blind man tell Hans?
Which are more important? Mo was waiting outside her class. She was feeling sick. She always felt sick in exam week. She had two exams that day. Physics was first and she hated physics, it was her worst subject. But this was the last day of exams! Terry looked back at her from the front of the line, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry looked back again. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. Mo gave Nima a worried look and followed them. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She thought about telling the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. She was going to fail again! The next exam was history. She was angry with Terry. Mo went to the library to study. She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. And I thought we were friends! Mo was feeling bad again, but she had no problems with the exam. Why did she tell Mr Reed? But it was too late now. He wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry had her phone in the exam. She was on the last question, when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table. Without thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr Reed. He picked up her exam paper and pointed to the door, to tell Terry to go outside. Terry started crying as she walked to the door. Everyone was staring at her and Mo felt really sorry now. She was leaving school, when she heard footsteps behind her. He had a big operation today and I was very worried. I know it was stupid, but I was reading texts from my mum to see how it was going, but Mr Reed caught me. He thought I was cheating. But he believes me now. Will you forgive me? Monday, 15 December, 2014 - 09:39 One enormous advantage of spending my year abroad in Germany is being here to celebrate Christmas. Germany is an absolutely beautiful country but especially at winter. The Christmas markets fill most towns and cities with an array of colours, smells and tastes. I had been to 'German' Christmas markets in England before, for example the ones in London and Manchester but nothing compares to the real Christmas markets here in Germany. I was lucky enough to have my family visit me last weekend for the first time since I moved here. We had a lovely time and seemed to eat and drink for the entire weekend! The Gluehwein and Lebkuchen is just too tasty to resist! Gluehwein is a red wine which is mulled with herbs and spices and Lebkuchen is similar to gingerbread, often covered in chocolate or sugar. It was really nice to see my family again and has made me even more excited to go home to England to celebrate. Christmas in Germany is quite similar to England but one big difference is that it is celebrated on the 24th December rather than the 25th. Most families go to church and have a large meal in the afternoon followed by present giving. Each family is different but my family celebrates Christmas eve by having a nice meal together, going to church, listening to Christmas carols and watching a typical Christmas film. This year, we have decided to cook a course each. I will be cooking the starter and would like to pick a typically German dish. We wake up early on Christmas Day, to swap a few small presents followed by a nice breakfast before the drive to my auntie's house where we see our entire family and have an even bigger meal! There are usually around twenty guests so there is always plenty of food! We then swap more presents in the afternoon. I can't believe it's Christmas already. The past four months have flown by but I'm already looking forward to coming back to Germany in the New Year. Comics 16 Wednesday, 6 November, 2013 - 11:39 So here I am abroad in a country not too dissimilar from my own. Any problems that pop up can usually be solved through the use of my pigeon French and a bit of tact. I end up looking for something I know will put me at ease. As a bit of a nerd, few things do this better than reading comics. One day in France when I was in one of these solitary moods, I went into a shop to get a few things and happened to see a classic spiderman story in French. Being a bit of a sucker for the classics, I bought it. On the bus ride home I had a leaf through it and found that despite not knowing a lot of the language used, I could pick it up the story easily from the context. It probably helps that I know a lot about Spidey anyway. Anything from comics to TV shows, to signs on buildings gives you more of a sense of how a language is used on a day to day basis. Comics, on the other hand, allow you to go at your own pace. If you can find the right one, the story can be great. Not to mention the artwork which is often superb in the 60s editions. All of this means an opportunity to be exposed to the language in a way which proves very comfortable and engaging, which I thoroughly recommend. The next thing for me, I think, is to delve into the world of native French comics, wish me luck. Fairy tales fight back 6 Wednesday, 26 November, 2014 - 12:26 We all know the stories. The princess falls in love with the prince. He rescues the damsel in distress from the tower or the dragon or the wicked queen … or anything at all really. The plot in many fairy tales relies on a woman in trouble needing a brave, strong man to rescue her. I loved Disney as a child, and I still do, but it is clear that stories such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are based on gender stereotypes. They show children that women spend their time looking pretty, cooking and cleaning and that women need a man to look after them. These ideals are old-fashioned and outdated. I personally would feel uncomfortable teaching these values to children — boys or girls. Luckily, Disney has clearly seen that their female characters were weak and helpless and their new films feature strong female characters. Rapunzel is an intelligent and creative 18 year old who asks a man to help her to visit the kingdom. Although he is helping her, she also helps and saves him. She uses her intelligence and people skills to save him from a group of criminals, and she uses her magic perhaps a symbol for special talents to heal him when he is hurt. Elsa can make it snow and turn water to ice. When she starts an eternal winter, it is her sister, Anna, who decides to save the kingdom. In the end, the act of true love which saves Anna is her decision to give up her life for Elsa. The females in these stories are intelligent, brave and adventurous. They are better role models for young girls and show children that girls can be heroes too. Hopefully, through efforts such as this, the idea that a man always rescues the woman will not be passed on to future generations. Finding the motivation to read 23 Monday, 23 June, 2014 - 14:14 I really do love to read. Escaping into another world in a work of fiction, or burying myself in news and 'general interest' articles has helped me to learn so much, and to enjoy myself greatly. Why, then, can I never find the time to read? I think I read more than I realise. At work I am constantly reading: I read and write many emails; I research information to create activities and to look for inspiration for classes; and, as with many jobs, I often have to read reports. I really cannot deny, then, that I read a lot at work, but this does not excite me at all. At school, along with all my classmates, I had to read plenty but I must admit that I did not particularly enjoy it. Being forced to analyse texts so much was never my cup of tea. I found it difficult, stressful and boring. Now, reading at work, I feel the same. I do not read for pleasure there, I just have to do it. I do love reading but after spending a day at work reading, the motivation to pick up another pile of papers filled with words fills me with dread. When I do sit down to read, most often I head to the web to look at news articles and, particularly, the blogs posted on newspaper websites. Once I sit down to read these things, I really like it, especially long articles or books, which, no matter where I am — at home, on the bus, or in a coffee shop — I am enthralled and entrapped by the stories. Sitting down to do this is difficult. Before starting to read I feel tired and a bit too crabby to be picking up a book. As soon as I do, though, I become mesmerise by the story, and can read for hours on end Love is Blind - level 1 Instructions: 37 Deshi likes the girl, but does she like Deshi? I hate it here. The accent is very strange. I miss Shanghai and I miss playing in the band with you. I try to practise the guitar, but the neighbour who lives opposite is angry because his daughter plays the violin and he said the noise disturbs her. I saw her staring out of the window at me. I think she hates me too. Please write back soon. Can you understand the accent? Deshi turned off the computer and opened his English book, but it was difficult to concentrate on irregular verbs. She had beautiful eyes. He opened his bedroom window and looked across the street. Her window was open too and he could hear her practising classical music on her violin. She was very good. Dinner is in half an hour! He ran out of the house and there she was! Deshi dropped his schoolbag and she turned to look at him. Her eyes were green. Deshi could feel his face turning red. He picked up his bag and ran for the bus. He failed a maths test and the English teacher shouted at him for not concentrating. The food in the cafeteria just made him feel sick. And then he had to stay late after school for extra English and missed the bus. He decided to walk home. He was crossing the park near his street, thinking about his school back in Shanghai and how he missed it. Then, he saw her. She was sitting on a bench with her dog. He waved at her but she just ignored him again. Now she really hates me. He was thinking about getting a a classical guitar when his mum came into the room. She had a letter in her hand. Deshi thought about how unhappy he was as he went down the stairs. His mum had no time for him, she was always working. School was really difficult and he had no friends in Boston. He was outside the building opposite when the door opened. The girl was about to come down the steps when she dropped something. Without thinking, Deshi picked it up. It was a white stick. Brendan Dunne Who was William Shakespeare? He also wrote lots of famous poetry. At the time they were written plays were enjoyed by rich and poor alike - it was like going to the cinema - and only later on did the theatre become more exclusive. Basically whether you want witty one liners or grim drama Shakespeare has something for everyone. Today you can still visit the house where he was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, as well as where his wife Anne Hathaway was born. Zoos: cruel or caring? Monday, 10 November, 2014 - 16:07 Last weekend I visited a zoo with a friend. Whilst there, we debated whether or not zoos were a good thing. When I was little, I loved going to the zoo. Now, aged 20, I still enjoy visiting them. However, I am aware that there are lots of people who don't support these establishments. Animal welfare is a growing concern in today's society. There are many people who believe that zoos are unethical. They argue that it is cruel to remove animals from their natural habitat and keep them in cages for the public to look at. An animal kept in a zoo will lead a different life to an animal that lives in the wild, for example animals in zoos don't have to hunt for food. Furthermore, some animals become unhappy in zoos because there isn't enough space. Zoos feature animals from places all over the world and animals must therefore adjust to different climates and seasons, depending on the location of the zoo in relation to where the animal comes from. On the other hand, a trip to the zoo can be an educational experience. When students learn about endangered species and are able to see them in a zoo, they are more likely to support projects designed to save these animals from extinction. Zoos are involved in many conservation projects: supporting zoos provides essential funding for these projects. Due to threats such as poaching, there are arguably many species which would be extinct if they weren't kept in zoos. In addition, many zoos attempt to replicate an animal's natural habitat: a range of materials is used to create a space that is similar to what would be found in the wild. Lots of toys are usually put in exhibits to prevent animals from getting bored. Animals that live in tropical countries - especially reptiles - are typically housed indoors in warm, heated tanks which are kept at a temperature similar to that of their natural habitat. Every zoo has a slightly different approach to animal care and welfare, but overall I think zoos are a good thing. Seeing animals in their natural habitat isn't always possible and I think zoos offer a good alternative. A trip to the zoo is both educational and fun - I'll definitely continue to visit zoos! The 15-minute reading challenge 47 Friday, 31 January, 2014 - 20:46 My challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15 minutes every single day for a month. Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humour, but sadly reading isn't one of them. I can happily spend a whole day curled up with a book, but my dad can't read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and documents for work, but not books. He is a busy person, with a short attention span, so I think that sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading. Giving yourself a goal or challenge is a good way to change a habit or achieve something, so why not try to create a new habit of reading? My dad is by no means the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen-based activities games, films, TV don't have. Firstly, it's better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and apparently you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night's sleep. One thing I personally love about reading, is being transported to another world - I often forget the time or things that are going on around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world and the problems you have during the day, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. While watching a film, I often talk to my flatmates, send texts, or paint my nails. A book, on the other hand, commands your full attention. I also love people. I am nosy, enjoy hearing what people are doing, and finding out what people think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people's point of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling - you really can be inside someone else's head! So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you're waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading!
