The boy was tall and good-looking with blond hair. His face was pale and he looked nervous. The girl was pretty and had dark hair. She was wearing a red leather jacket and carrying an electric guitar in a case. “Well, here we are!’ said Scarlett. The boy was very quiet. ‘Is everything OK, Jamie?’ Scarlett asked. He shook his head. ‘I feel sick.’ ‘Relax! It'll be fun!’ Scarlett said happily. She was a bit nervous, too, but she wasn't worried. She just wanted to have fun. “We have to win. I want to be a great singer,’ Jamie said quietly. “You are a great singer,’ said Scarlett, ‘win or lose. Come on!’ And she ran up the steps.

Then Jamie started to sing.For the next three minutes, Scarlett played her blue guitar and Jamie sang. Scarlett was great. But halfway through the song Jamie forgot the words. He invented new ones, but they didn’t make much sense. Scarlett kept on playing and somehow they got to the end of the song. Scarlett squeezed Jamie's arm, but he was upset. They looked at the judges and waited. ‘How long have you been together, Jamie?’ asked one of the women. “As an act?

These traditional dances from around the world are much more exciting! 1. Flamenco is a traditional form of music and dance that comes from the south of Spain. At first it was performed to clapping and singing, but guitars and castanets were added later. Flamenco is full of emotion. Usually a solo female dancer performs the dance. She wears a beautiful costume and claps, stamps her feet and moves her arms. 2, Indian classical dance has been around since 400 BC. According to Hindu tradition, Shiva, the Lord of the Dance, created heaven and earth with his dancing. Dancers make complicated movements with their arms and hands while musicians play traditional Indian instruments. Men and women usually dance separately. 3. The Tango is a style of music and dance. It is always performed with a partner. It was invented in the poor neighbourhoods around Buenos Aires in Argentina. The tango is a romantic and sometimes sad dance. It is accompanied by a piano, strings or an orchestra. 4, The first festival of Irish dancing was 3,000 years ago. Irish dancing is still very popular today. Dancers usually keep their arms by their sides while they move their feet very quickly and do amazing high kicks. They dance to traditional music played on violins, bagpipes and drums. 2 Read again and write the names of the dances. Te always has two dancers. De was originally performed without instruments. 3.

Jamie was looking out of the window and trying not to cry. When they got off the bus Jamie said, ‘Good luck tomorrow,’ and walked away. Scarlett lay on her bed all afternoon. What should she do? Should she go to the new audition? But Jamie was so upset, and her friend was more important than the competition. So she decided not to go to the audition. She wanted to tell Jamie, but her mobile phone buzzed before she could make the call. There was a text message from the organisers of the talent contest: ‘Your audition is tomorrow at 6 pm.’ And then she didn’t know what to do again. ‘Oh, this is terrible!’ she thought. ‘I want to go but I can’t go without Jamie. He really wanted to win! Scarlett jumped off the bed. But of course! She quickly punched a number into her mobile phone. ‘Jamie? Can you come over right away?

No plants or animals live in deserts. The Sonoran Desert Addesert is a dry, infertile area of land. There is little water or rain in deserts, and there are very few plants. Deserts cover around one third of the Earth’s land area. Some deserts are in cold parts of the world. For example, the whole of Antarctica is one big desert. But most deserts are in hot regions, such as the Sonoran Desert in the southwest of the United States and northern Mexico. The Sonoran Desert covers an area of over 310,000 square kilometres, which is bigger than Italy! In summer the temperature reaches 50°C during the day, and in winter it’s freezing at night. The desert has over 2,000 plant species, as well as 60 different mammals, over 100 types of birds, 20 amphibian species, around 100 reptiles and hundreds of insects, scorpions and spiders! Desert plants have adapted to the hot and dry conditions in several ways. Cacti have thick skins so they lose less water. They also store water in their thick trunks and branches, and they have deep roots. Their leaves have become sharp spines for protection from herbivores. The most famous plant of the Sonoran Desert is the enormous saguaro cactus. It takes over 30 years for these cacti to grow just one metre. After 50 years, they start flowering and grow arms, and they reach their full height after over 100 years. It doesn’t rain often in the Sonoran Desert, but when it does, the storms are spectacular! Immediately after a storm, plants flower quickly and wildlife is more active. For the next few days, the desert is full of colourful flowers, buzzing insects and hungry animals!

It is also known as the Red Planet after its colour. It has two small Moons named Phobos and Deimos. People first discovered Mars thousands of years ago. It is our nearest neighbour in the solar system. It is extremely cold ‘on Mars, with an average temperature of minus'55 degrees Celsius. Mars has got a spectacular landscape. At 24,000 metres, Olympus Mons is the highest mountain in the solar system. The gigantic crater Hellas Planitia is over 5 kilometres deep and 12,000 kilometres in diameter. For a long time, scientists thought nothing could live on Mars because it was a dry planet. But a robot vehicle has found evidence that water once existed there. Since 2003, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has sent several Mars Rovers to explore the surface, and in 2009, one rover got stuck in sand. Engineers couldn’t move the rover, so they decided to investigate the sand instead. To their surprise, they discovered evidence of frost and snow. Scientists also believe that the polar ice caps on Mars contain water. Could Mars support life after all?

We need it to drink and also to water crops. Many Native American tribes perform rain dances, especially in the dry states of Arizona and New Mexico. The rain dance brings rain for a good harvest. Dancers wear feathers to bring wind and turquoise-coloured clothes for rain. They also wear wigs, masks and jewellery. Drums, flutes and rattles accompany the rain dance. 2 Read and match. 1.
