Amy Do you think there’ll be much information about the Mexico Olympics?

Jake Well, I don’t think it’ll be very difficult to find out about the basic facts. But what we really want to know is, who was Alan Smith, and what was his sport?

Danny Let’s google him. We might find him like that. Jake We won’t! There’ll be millions of people with

that name. Yes, look! Danny OK, well, keep trying. We might find a website

that lists all the medal winners. Let’s see … Amy You two do that, and I think I’ll look him up in a

reference book. Let’s see who can find him first. Jake OK, you’re on. It’s a race. Amy Come on, Tina, will you help me beat them? Tina Sure. Although we may not manage it, you

know. The Internet is awfully fast. Amy Maybe, we’ll see. Jake Aha! This is the site we want. Medal winners.

I’ll just scroll down … 1968 … Oh bother, they list the names under each sport. I guess we just click on athletics first and then work our way down the list. No, nobody called Alan Smith there … No, he isn’t under basketball …

Danny Fingers crossed he wasn’t a weightlifter. It’ll take all day!

Jake Tell you what, you go on to the next computer and start from the bottom of the list. It won’t take very long then.

Danny OK. Amy YESSS! We’ve found him. We’ve won! Here he is.

‘Alan Smith, Great Britain’. His medal was for the triathlon.

Danny The triathlon? That’s three sports, isn’t it? But which ones?

Amy Hang on … Running, swimming and cycling. That’s amazing! Imagine being the best in the world at all that!

Tina Well, I think we should try to find out more about Alan Smith. Perhaps he’s local. Who knows? We may discover he lives in our street.

Amy Yes, I agree. We can start with the vase, and whoever donated it. It was in a whole box of things, wasn’t it?

Tina Good thinking. We’ll have more time after the car boot sale tomorrow. Then we can start looking for our Olympic champion! 18

Mountain Rescue: Part 1Mountain Rescue: Part 2

2222

Hi Steve, u ok? y no blog?

Hattie pressed ‘Send’ and waited. She sat and stared at her phone.

‘Give him a chance, Hat. He’s probably half way up a mountain,’ said Josh.

‘I’ll give him an hour. Then I’ll ring him. I’ve got a really horrible feeling.’

An hour later, Hattie picked up her phone again and called her brother.

‘Sorry,’ she heard, ‘the person you called is not available. Please try later.’

‘He’s probably got a fl at battery,’ said Josh. ‘Don’t worry. It’ll sort itself out.’

‘Steve always charges his phone,’ said Hattie, ‘and he always updates his blog. I think he’s in trouble.’

‘I’m sure he can take care of himself. And anyway, he’s with Ben. He isn’t by himself. They’ll look out

for each other.’‘Oh yes, Ben. I’ve got his number,’ said Hattie. She found Ben’s number and called him.

‘It’s the same message. Now I’m really worried.’

‘Maybe you’d better tell your parents. Where are they now?’

‘Dad’s at work. And mum’s visiting my grandmother in hospital. I’ll

call my dad, hang on … Oh no, it’s gone to voicemail … Hi dad, it’s me,

Hattie. Listen, can you call me? It’s urgent.’

‘Hat, if you’re as worried as that, you should call the police. Shall I

do it for you?’‘No thanks, Josh. I’ll do it myself.’

Hattie picked up her phone again and punched in 999.

Two hours later, Hattie’s mother was surprised to find a policeman

in her sitting room.‘Why on earth didn’t you call me, Hattie? This is an emergency!’

‘You were at the hospital, mum.’

‘We’re doing all we can, Mrs Blake,’ said the policeman.

Just then, his phone rang and he went outside to take the call. When

he came back, he was frowning.

‘Swiss mountain rescue have located them,’ he said, ‘but it isn’t all

good news, I’m afraid. One of them has fallen down a crevasse, and

the other one can’t pull him up. They’re tied to each other, I believe,

but they can’t move.’

‘Oh yes, they always tie themselves together, for safety,’ said Hattie.

‘But why can’t they move? And which one is Steve?’

‘I don’t know any details,’ replied the policeman, ‘but it’s probably

too dark to rescue them now.’

This is the first book in the amazing Spellbound series. 1I couldn’t put it down. It was entertaining, funny and clever all the way through. I loved all the characters, and now I want to see the TV version. 2Try it, you won’t regret it!

★★★★★ eagerreader

I love Coles usually but this isn’t one of his best. Parts of it are brilliant, but 3the plot was quite confusing, and generally I found it quite disappointing. 4I didn’t manage to finish it. If you’re new to Coles, don’t start with this one – that’s my advice.

Reviews:★★★★★ daisy.r

This is the worst book I’ve ever read. 5The plot is unbelievable and so are the characters. And I warn you, when you get to the last page, 6the ending is really weak too. OK, 7it’s an easy read, so I suppose it’s a good book to take on holiday.

★★★★★ georgieP

Why is it called the ‘D of E’?

2 True or false?

1 The ‘D of E’ scheme is for anybody who wants to do it. false

2 You can only do it in the UK. 3 You have to do at least four

different kinds of activity. 4 For the gold level, you have

to travel abroad. 5 You can earn an award in

less than a year. 6 11,000 UK secondary

schools run ‘D of E’ schemes. 7 It doesn’t cost much.

The Duke of Edinburgh AwardThe ‘D of E’ is a scheme for young people between the ages of 14 and 25. Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip (the Duke of Edinburgh), started the scheme in 1956. About 275,000 people take part in the UK every year, and it also takes place in more than 120 other countries. The award has three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold.

Each level has four sections:VolunteeringYou work as a volunteer for a few hours every week. For example, some people work in charity shops, visit old people or help out at playschemes, while others do conservation work. PhysicalYou practise a physical activity (e.g. sport, or dancing) regularly. It can be something you already do, or something new.

SkillsYou develop existing skills, or learn a new one. This is a chance to learn First Aid, or do a photography course, or continue with something you already do, like playing a musical instrument.ExpeditionSmall groups work together to plan, train for and then complete an adventurous journey over two or more days. You carry your own camping equipment and cook for yourself along the way.

The Gold level has a fifth section: ResidentialYou spend 5 days and 4 nights away from home and work as a volunteer with a team of people you’ve never met before. Some people go abroad but most stay in their own country.

the questions.

1 Which award did Chris do? 2 Why didn’t he do another one? 3 What did he do for his service? 4 Why was the physical section easy for him? 5 What skill did he learn? 6 When was it useful, and why?

4 Work in pairs. You are going to take part in a ‘D of E’ programme. Decide what you will do for each of your four (or five) sections. Then tell the class.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)How long does it take?The Bronze and Silver Awards take about six months each, and the Gold award takes from 12 to 18 months.Where can I do it?There are 11,000 ‘D of E’ centres in the UK. A lot of UK secondary schools run the scheme. You can also try local youth organisations.How much does it cost?You pay a very small fee when you join the scheme, and that’s it. You will probably want to buy some items along the way, but most equipment (e.g. for camping) is provided. To find out more, go to www.dofe.org
