Hi Alex,
We
had
an amazing
trip
to Kenya We
saw
so many
animals- it was a real 1 adventure
/ survivor
When we
arrived it was
2
sunny/rainy
,
but it stopped the next day.
The first night
we slept
in tents and
we caught
some fish
in
a
3
lake/ forest for dinner
We
travelled
around
the
animal park
with a local guide.
The guide told us how the
4 elephants/giraffes use
their
ears to keep
cool.
We also
saw
a tiger,
but we
didn't get
very
close because it was
too
5 intelligent/dangerous.
On
our
last night
we saw
asnake. My sister was really
scared ,
but
I thought it was really 6 frightening/
exciting The
7 best
/
worstthing was
the
temperature,
though, it was too
hot
for me
Love,
Sam

uinness world re ord
The
pretty
Mexican city of Durango is usually a quiet, sleepy place,
but
recently something special happened Last week the people of
Durango created a very large
bowl
of soup, the largest
bowl
of
soup in the world in fact Romania held the old record for the
largest
bowl
of soup, which contained 5045litres of soup The
Mexican bowl broke that record, however, as it contained
an
amazing 5350 litres of soup.
The people of
Durango spent months
planning this project.
Cooking the
soup was
a hard job, but finding a cooking pot big
enough was also difficult A month was
spent
planning
and
building the bowl. Local farmers
provided
the food
that was
needed. All the local restaurants offered their chefs to make the
soup.
Many
local people
worked
as waiters and cleaners for the
day. The local schools
put
on a day-long show of music and
dancing. Thousands of people came to the town to celebrate the
super-sized soup. The cooks
had
a lot of work to do to prepare the
soup. For example,
they
had
to
cut
up
530
kg
of onions
and
use
100 litres of vegetable oil
This project has
shown
the people of
Durango that
people can do
anything when they work together. e look forward to hearing
about
their next

I want to buy a new guitar, but I don't have any
money. What can I do?
Of course while you're still at school, you can't
get a 1) ful/-time/al/-time job, but you can find
2 half-time/part-time
work. For example, you
can deliver newspapers, or what about getting a
job as a 3)
babysitter/baby-carer?
You can also
4 do/make jobs for family and friends for extra
pocket money. For example, you can wash people's
cars
or
help out
in
their gardens. It may take time to
5) spend/save enough money for a guitar, but I'm
sure you will do it.
Good luck

house Luckily the closest

Nathan often visits the zoo
where his father works, and he
knows most of the people who work there. Sometimes at the
weekends he helps clean the zoo.
Nathan doesn t
mind getting
dirty and he knows it's part of the job. His favourite animals at
the zoo are the lions and tigers from Africa. Next year, Nathan
and his family are going to Kenya to see some wild animals
in
their
natural
home.
