II. What do the following words mean? Please try to guess and match the words
with their meanings.
1) Solar a. a mass of ice and dust that moves around the sun
PROCEDURAL ACTIVITIES
The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets,
the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and
gas.
Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains
around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more
gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects
in the Solar System towards it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very
rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun, outward into the emptiness of outer space. The result
of the planets trying to fly away, at the same time that the Sun is trying to pull them
inward is that they become trapped half-way in between. Balanced between flying
towards the Sun, and escaping into space, they spend eternity orbiting around their parent
star.
After reading the text above, write if the statements are TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN.
1) The Solar System consists of Sun, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets,
and dust and gas. ____
2) The Sun contains around 58% of all the material in the Solar System. ___
3) The larger an object is, the less gravity it has. ___
4) Sun is the biggest star in the space. ___
5) Between flying towards the Sun, and escaping into space, they spend eternity

Is Pluto a Planet?
Many people are saying that Pluto is no longer a planet. Are they right? Is Pluto no longer a
planet? There's debate in the scientific world about this issue. National Geographic
Astronomical Union, a full-fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is large
enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. Because Pluto doesn't
meet these standards, the IAU classifies Pluto as a dwarf planet.
Andy Cheng, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University, says that the new rules
aren't clear enough and asks the question "how round is round? ...I'll still continue to
maintain that Pluto is a planet," he said.
Owen Gingerich is an astronomer and historian at Harvard University in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and head of the IAU committee proposing the definition. He favored a
special distinction for Pluto. Gingerich supported a proposal to call the big eight planets
classical planets—as opposed to just plain "planets"—and Pluto and the others dwarf
planets, so there would be two classes of planets. He believes that reclassifying Pluto as a
dwarf planet is not "sensitive to the historical and cultural role that
The argument continues. In the meantime, however, many people are correct—new
textbooks will list Pluto as being a dwarf planet. What do you think it is?

Skin Heads: they were born in England in the 60s to combat nationalism. Soon they
diverged into two groups: the extreme right-wing and the extreme left-wing, and which
became strong enemies. In Spain they sympathize with the extreme right-wing, their
figures and their symbols. They are a violent, xenophobic and homophobic group who
wants to eradicate these collectives. They share the same aesthetics, which the most
representative point is their shaved hair. They wear nylon jackets, Nazi emblems and
military boots with steel toecaps.
Punks: they are known as anti globalization groups. The Punk was born in the late 70s in
the UK. The punks are an anarchistic group: they are against capitalism, neoliberalism and
consumerism. As with other tribes, they share some specific music and fashion styles.
They wear used clothes, mostly black (combined with other explosive colors). It is usually
broken, patched and adorned with logos of punk bands and anti-repression slogans.
Normally they have shaved hair with a Mohawk or colored crest which denotes social
status. Experts consider them genuine urban guerrillas because of their continued fights
against the police.
Heavies: beyond their devotion to heavy music, this tribe has its own way of dressing, its
own jargon, and even its own symbols. But a real heavy bases its attitude in a strong
camaraderie sense to its social group and in a devotion to heavy metal music. They wear
black t-shirts with their favourite music bands emblazoned on them. A distinctive symbol
is their long hair. The former images of heavy metal followers, anti-social and dangerous
drug taking addicts are now buried in the past.
Emos: this tribe has recently emerged with a great force, especially among the teenagers.
Usually dressed in black, with painted lips and eyes, they look very androgynous. They are
usually depressed and hate life in general, which to them is worthless and meaningless.
The “emo” term comes from ‘emotional’. It originated in the 80s hardcore and punk music.
Their present songs have added sentimental, sad and suicidal messages. They are not
dangerous to other people, but maybe they are to themselves because of their suicide
tendency.
Rappers: they love rap and hip-hop music. They have a peculiar style: they wear wide,
baggy clothing, sports shoes, peaked caps and earrings. Many are linked to the graffiti
world and they consider themselves artists and the city walls are their canvas. They
usually have their own greetings and special handshakes, they are very funny.
HIPPIES: They like to take drugs. They proclaim the peace and love. They don't like the
policy and they have anarquists ideas. They have long hair and use colorful clothes.
POSH: This urban tribe there is always but with different names. They like to play paddle,
go shopping and parties. They like to hear music from Julio Iglesias and 60’s/ 70’s. They're
capitalists and consumists.
SKATER: A skater is a human being who enjoys riding a skateboard because it is fun. a lot
of skaters could be classified as 'punks' but this is just a stereotype.
GEEKS: are distinguished by unusual tastes and interests as you spend all your free time
on topics such as video games, RPGs, comics, manga, TV series, technology, etc.
FLOGGERS: They are made up by groups of people usually young, with a distinct common
identity: the same aesthetic codes, the same identity symbols, the same rules, the same
language, the same music…. A whole ideology! They are a reflection of what they love or
what they hate and of their own instincts.
