Countries around the world have national holidays. They are, of course, on
different days, but the ways people celebrate are sometimes the same.
The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the
world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Years Day. The national
holiday is on July 4th. There are many parades with bands. People cook
and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of
concerts and fireworks.
Americans also have another national holiday, Thanksgiving Day, the fourth
Thursday in November. On this day, people usually eat some of the foods
that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc.
In France, the national holiday is on July 14th. There are big parades with
soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many
events like concerts or operas are free on that day.
Mexican people celebrate their independence on September 16th. School
children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music
everywhere. People eat traditional food called chiles en nogada on this day.

T
he Guaran were the aborigines that used
to live in the Paraguayan forest before the
Spanish people arrived. They were nomads
and they used to move around the territory
looking for new lands to farm.
One day, when a tribe was about to move to
a new location, one of the oldest men decided
to stay because he felt tired and weak for the
journey. His daughter Yari stayed with him
because she didnt want to leave him alone. Soon,
they had very little food left. At that moment, the
spirit Tup descended to earth.
He was dressed like a nomadic hunter, and asked
Yari for food and shelter for the night. Very
generously, Yari offered him hospitality and
the last of their food. Her charity surprised the
spirit and he offered her a reward. Yari asked
for something to make her father stronger and
healthier.
Tup grew a green plant with white flowers
with his magic powers.
He taught Yari and her
father to prepare tea
using the plants leaves.
When Yaris father
drank the tea, he felt
much better.
Tup told them to
share the plant with
the rest of the tribe.
Now, this beverage
brings comfort,
health, and
endurance to the Guaran.

Countries around the world have national holidays. They are, of course, on
different days, but the ways people celebrate are sometimes the same.
The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the
world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Years Day. The national
holiday is on July 4th. There are many parades with bands. People cook
and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of
concerts and fireworks.
Americans also have another national holiday, Thanksgiving Day, the fourth
Thursday in November. On this day, people usually eat some of the foods
that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc.
In France, the national holiday is on July 14th. There are big parades with
soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many
events like concerts or operas are free on that day.
Mexican people celebrate their independence on September 16th. School
children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music
everywhere. People eat traditional food called chiles en nogada on this day.

IS ENGLISH AN
INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?
IS ENGLISH AN
INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?
Nowadays, more than 300,000,000 people speak English. People
speak English as their first or native language, in countries such as
the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia or New Zealand. In
other countries like Pakistan, India, Guyana or South Africa, English
is not the mother tongue, but people speak it as a second language. In
Canada, they have two official languages, English and French.
Since the beginning of the XX century, English
has become the main language of international
communication. Although Mandarin Chinese and Spanish
both have more native speakers, English is certainly the
worlds most popular language in the world.
English is today an open language. It has incorporated
words from Latin, Greek, and many modern languages.
For example, many words derive from Hindi, such as
pajamas and bungalow.
In Latin American and European countries, English is a
very important foreign language and people usually learn
it at school.
The importance of English has grown since the World
Wars of the last century. The cinema, music, and
television have helped take American culture into
many countries that listen to American music and watch
American films, sit-coms, and cartoons.
There are, of course, various small differences between
the English that people use in different parts of the
world. There are also numerous different accents, none
of which is better than the others.
The most common differences in English are between
American and British English, but in Australia, Scotland,
and Ireland there are also differences in vocabulary.
For a long time, people around the world have
considered English as the worlds most important
language.
Has this process finished? Only time will answer
this question.

Did you know that
there are many English
words pronounced
differently from the way
they are spelt?
There are about 400
words in English whose
spelling is wholly
irregular.
Unfortunately, many
of them are among the
most frequently used.
Despite many attempts
to reform the English
spelling system, no
changes have been made
since the 16th century
- mainly because nobody
can agree on the best
alternative!

FESTIVALS AND EVENTS
I La Tomatina - The Worlds
Biggest Food Fight
Each year, on the last
Wednesday of August, about
10,000 people converge to
the Spanish town of Buol.
Fireworks light the sky and
people celebrate with parties
on the streets with wine and
traditional paella. Music
plays and people dance, but
they are there for one thing
only - to throw about 7
million kilos of sticky, squishy
tomatoes.
At midday, a lot of trucks
carry the red fruit into the
main Town Square. A few
hours later, the town square
magically returns to normal.
III The Battle of Oranges
Ivreas carnival, in Italy, is
one of the most famous in
the world because of the
Battle of Oranges. People
throw oranges at each other
and oranges fly everywhere.
It takes place in early
January and lasts for 5 days,
from Thursday to Tuesday,
with several parades and
events, a lot of parties, food
events, and music in the
streets every day.
II Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling
People celebrate this
festival on the last
weekend in May in
Gloucestershire, England.
The race begins when
the master of ceremonies
violently throws a piece of
cheese down a hill. All the competitors then throw themselves
down the hill after the cheese. The winner keeps the cheese.
Children cant take part in the competition, but there are a few
uphill races, one for boys under 12 and one for girls. They are
slower, but entertaining as well!

THE
AVOCADO
FESTIVAL
The California Avocado
Festival began in 1986.
Did you know that
when the Aztec ruler
Moctezuma presented
a gift to Spanish explorer Cortez in 1519, he included avocados
along with gold, silver, and jewels? The inhabitants of Carpenteria,
California, in the USA, commemorate this fact every year with an
event completely centered on the avocado. In fact, if you mention
any other fruit or vegetable at this annual October event, the
people will throw you into the Worlds Largest Bowl of Guacamole.
Why avocados? Well, Santa Barbara County is the third largest
avocado producer in North America. Why in October? Because
statistics show that October is one of the sunniest months of the
year, with the least amount of rainfall.
The Avocado Festival has become one of the largest festivals in
California with three days of fabulous food, terrific music, and great
safe family fun.
The Avocado Festival is free for all to enter. Besides lots of chips and
dip, visitors can take part in some friendly avo-tivities.
Of course theres a competition for the best guacamole and various
other recipes (ice cream and brownies), but the biggest event is the
Best Dressed Avocado. Theres also a photography contest and pop
art show, where anything avocado goes.
Holy guacamole!

III._______________________
He was born in Madrid in 1793,
but then he emigrated to
America with his parents,
Alejandro Vega and Elena
Felicidad. They settled in
California and became rich.
Then, he returned to Spain
to study art and science at
Madrid University, but he always
considered California his home.
When he was back in America,
he discovered that the mayor
used his position and influence
to exploit and rob the poor. He
decided to change the situation
and adopted a secret identity.
He wore a black mask and rode
a black horse, Tornado. His
friend Bernardo pretended to
be a deaf mute and spied for
him.
II.________________________
He is often called the most famous
pioneer and frontier hero. He
explored the area of Kentucky, USA.
He was born in Pennsylvania, USA
on November 2, 1734. When he
was young, he never went to school
or learned how to read or write. He
spent most of his time hunting.
The Indians captured and released
him four times, but he built a
cabin in Kentucky, and moved his
family there.
In 1775, he led an expedition that
opened a trail through Kentucky.
In 1799, he moved west again, into
Missouri, and died on September
26, 1820.
Today his image is a mixture of fact
and legend.
El Zorro
I.________________________
He is a legendary English hero.
He lived in Sherwood Forest,
in Nottingham, with his band.
Stories about him and his
adventures began to appear in
the XIV century, but the facts
are uncertain. He was probably
born in 1160. He fought against
injustice and robbed the rich to
give to the poor.
He was also a brave fighter and
was very good with his bow
and arrow. His wife was Maid
Marion and his main enemy was
the Sheriff of Nottingham, who
always tried to capture him, but
never could.

READING
Florence Nightingale was born on May 12
th
,
1820 in Florence, Italy. Her family was
rich and her father taught her at home.
In 1844, she had the idea to work in
hospitals. She wanted to be a nurse,
but her parents did not want her
to become one. She confronted
them firmly and she worked as a
nurse at Salisbury Royal Infirmary.
She became an expert on hygiene
quickly.
In 1853, she found her first paid
job. She worked until October, 1854
and then went to help nurse the British
soldiers of the war in Crimea. The soldiers
thought that Florence Nightingale was a great
lady, so when she returned to Britain, she was a
heroine.
People wrote songs about her and Queen Victoria
and Prince Albert gave her an award.
In 1859, Florence wrote a small book called Notes
on Nursing, with a special section about taking
care of babies. The book sold millions of
copies all over the world.
In 1860, she opened the Nightingale
Training School for nurses at St
Thomas Hospital in London, where
Florence almost invented modern
nursing as we know it today.
In 1861, Florence became ill. She
could not walk anymore and for the
next 30 years she continued working
hard from her home at 35 South Street,
in London.
By 1896, she was so frail that she couldnt
leave her bedroom.
On August 13, 1910, she fell asleep and died
quietly.
She was buried in the family grave at East Wellow.
Six sergeants of the British Army carried her
coffin.
Her only memorial is a line on the family
tombstone F. N. Born 1820. Died 1910. She lived
for ninety years and three months.

I _____________________________________
In ancient times, people invented new
machines, materials, and ways of doing
things, but no one knows what the first
invention was.
Prehistoric inventors found ways to make and keep fires burning. They
invented ways to grow plants for food and learned how to tame animals.
Other great prehistoric inventions were the wheel, pottery, and ways to
build houses.
II _____________________________________
One great invention was the printing
press. A German named Johannes
Gutenberg invented a press to print
books in the 1400s. Books became much
more common and helped other inventors make new things.
After the invention of the steam engine around 1700, inventors made
many new machines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all
kinds of factory machines.
Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the
invention of automobiles in the late 1800s.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many
scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A.
Edison invented the electric lamp, the phonograph, and other things that
use electricity, in the late 1800s.
III _____________________________________
No one knows the names of prehistoric
inventors. Until the 1900s, most inventors
worked alone. Today, most inventions
come from scientists and engineers who work in teams. Most of them
work for universities, government agencies, or big companies.

A day in the life of a
firefighter
T
his week were looking at what it takes to be a firefighter and
were talking to Charlie, who has been a firefighter for
nearly six years.
Im lucky because I really love my job. I enjoy working
in a team and I get along with my co-workers. I also like
the contact I have with the public; its great to know that
what I do makes a difference. I have to work on
the weekend a lot, because this is when the
majority of incidents happen.
Occasionally the work can be frustrating because we get hoax
phone calls from people who say they have a problem, but when
we arrive, theres nothing there. We cant ignore any emergency
calls and we have to go to investigate, but we discover that they
have just made up a story for fun.
At other times the job can be very dangerous. Sometimes people
are injured because they couldnt get away from the fire quickly
enough. The hardest part of my job is when I see people who are
hurt.
Our work is often very physical, so we have to keep ourselves in good shape. I love
my job and Ill carry on doing it for as long as I can.

The night was cold and the Count wanted a glass of blood. He

Cadaver, but he didnt speak to her. He pushed open the door
and went to his favorite place. Some old men were playing
dominoes. A young man and his girlfriend were kissing in the corner.
Three of the Counts friends were playing cards. Count Cadaver didnt say
Hello to anyone. He just went over to the counter. A glass of Blood Light,
please, he said. And you can forget the peanuts. Im on a diet.

The Invention
of the
Bicycle
Written by Rebecca Bond
A long time ago, nobody had a bicycle. Nobody
rode a bicycle to school or to work, or to the park
just for fun. Nobody even thought about bicycles.
There were no bicycles!
Then one day someone had an idea and the bicycle
was born! Leonardo da Vinci, a very famous artist,
inventor and scientist, thought a bicycle seemed
like a good invention. He made the first drawing of
a bicycle. That was about 500 years ago.
Unfortunately, he died before his idea became a
real machine, but it was still a good idea, and other
people decided to work on it.
About 300 years ago (200 years after Leonardo did
his drawing), somebody finally made the first
bicycle. It wasnt like the bicycles we have today. It
had wooden wheels and it didnt have any pedals.
Instead of pedaling, the rider sat on the seat and
rolled along by pushing his feet on the ground. It
wasnt perfect, but it was a good start.
Little by little, more inventors made the bicycle
better. They added pedals. They made wheels out
of metal and rubber. They discovered better ways to
steer and to brake.
About 100 years ago, they started making bicycles
that looked very much like the bicycles we ride
today. They were very good bicycles. Suddenly,
everyone wanted a bicycle! Bicycles were a quick
and easy way to get around and, most of all, they
were fun. All the bicycle-building stores were very
busy. They had a lot of business!
Today, people all around the
world ride bicycles. They ride
them on dirt roads in small
towns and on crowded streets in
big cities. In some cities, there
are so many bicycle riders that it
seems like everyone is riding a
bicycle! Well done, Leonardo!

urricane Katrina was the costliest and one of
deadliest hurricanes in the history of the
United States. It was the sixth-strongest Atlantic
hurricane ever recorded. Katrina formed in late
August during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season
and caused devastation along much of the north-
central Gulf Coast of the United States, New
Orleans, Louisiana, and in coastal Mississippi.
Singer and movie star Sharon Hiphop founded an
association to help the families who lived through this
disaster. She explained to us the association's plans.
Reporter: Tell us, Sharon, what will the association
do next year?
Sharon: Thank you for asking. We have many
plans for the children and their families. First, well
organize a school club. This club will provide help for
school children and help for schools. Second, well
have a concert in August to raise money for the
association. This money will help build more houses
or buy the necessary furniture for the houses. Finally,
well organize a marathon, so we can raise money for
medical assitance. We really have great plans.
I love this charity work. You can make other people
happy. I invite all the readers to help and make
