The female blue whale is the queen of the sea. She
grows to more than 30 metres long and is heavier than
25 African elephants. Baby blue whales are 8 metres
long when they are born. That's longer than 2 cars!
Whales lived in the sea 10 million years before humans
walked on Earth, but when humans arrived, they
became the whales' enemy. Whales are mammals,
not fish, and when they go to the surface to breathe
air, hunters can catch them easily.

Colourful creatures
Near a coral reef you can find many different kinds
of fish. They swim in 'schools', all wearing the same
colours like football teams.
Many fish can change colour too. Angelfish get
more colourful when they are looking for a partner.
Butterflyfish get brighter when they fight. Fusilier
fish are dark blue and red when they sleep on the
sea bed, but when they swim up to the surface,
their colours get lighter.
And did you know that coral, the colourful 'rock'
of the coral reef, is really tiny animals?

A day in the snow Je ff saves his friend

o D a n g e lo
o
On 15th December 2001, Jeff Kramer, 13, was sledging in the
snow with two friends, Keri and Adam.
It was getting late. 'We should go home soon', said Jeff.
'I'm going to go this way. It's quicker', said Keri, and she started
to sledge down the hill.
'Watch out for the trees!' shouted Jeff. 'You shouldn't go down
there.' It was too late. Keri's sledge crashed into a tree.
The two boys ran down to their friend. Keri was lying next to the
tree. Her right arm was under her body. She groaned but she
couldn't talk.
'What should we do?' asked Adam.
'We shouldn't move her. Maybe something is broken' said Jeff.
'We should call an ambulance. Adam, you go! I'm going to look
after Keri.'
Adam ran off down the hill. Jeff was freezing, but Keri was colder
than him. Jeff took off his jacket and jumper and put them on her.
Suddenly he heard a noise. A sledge was coming down the hill
very fast and a boy was following it.
'Watch out! My sledge!' the boy shouted.
Jeff jumped in front of Keri. The sledge crashed into him and he
fell over.
When the Rescue Service arrived, they took Keri and Jeff to
hospital. Keri had a broken arm and her head was badly bruised.
Jeff hurt his ankle and had bruises on his back.

The Great Fire of London

EFORE 1666 most buildings in London were made of wood,

B but on 2nd September something happened that changed

London completely.
Charles II was King of England at the time. His favourite
baker lived and worked in Pudding Lane in London. Early in
the morning of Sunday 2nd September, the baker’s assistant
woke up. He could smell smoke downstairs, so he woke the
baker and his family and they all climbed onto the roof.
There were strong winds that night. Because the houses were
made of wood, the fire moved quickly from one building to
the next, and then from one street to the next. The baker’s
assistant and his family watched the fire from the roof of the
house, and then they escaped to a neighbour’s house.

People ran away from the fire across the River Thames
or into the hills of north London. They took all their

In the beginning, the sky was near the earth. People didn’t have to work
or cook food. When they were hungry, they put up their hands, they took
a piece of sky, and they ate it. The sky tasted of different things. Sometimes
it tasted of meat and sometimes it tasted of pineapple.
The King of the land was Oba. One morning it got dark near Oba’s palace.
The sky was angry because people took a lot of it, but they didn’t eat
everything. Suddenly a loud voice came from the clouds.
‘Oba! 1am warning you. You and your people mustn’t waste me any more.’
«
Oba was very scared and told his people.
For a while everyone was very careful, but then something terrible
happened.
On the last night of the biggest festival in the land, there was a party
at Oba’s palace. A woman called Adese went with her husband Otolo,
and they danced and ate all night.
Adese loved food, and she was sad when the party finished. ‘What a
wonderful evening!’ she thought. ‘What wonderful food we have from
the sky!’
She looked up and, without thinking, she took a huge piece. She wasn’t
really hungry but she wanted to taste the wonderful food again. She ate
a little and then she remembered.
‘Oh no! What have I done?’ cried Adese. ‘Otolo! Come here and eat this.
We mustn’t waste it.’
But Otolo wasn’t hungry, and he only ate a little.
Adese woke their children, but they didn’t want to eat any food.
Adese was tired. ‘I don’t care,’ she thought, ‘it’s just a little piece of sky’.
She made a hole and put it in the ground.
Suddenly there was a terrible storm over Oba’s palace.
‘Oba,’ said an angry voice, ‘your people haven’t looked after me! I’m going
to leave you and go far away’
‘But how can we live without you?’ cried Oba.
‘You must learn to grow food in the ground and hunt in the forests’,
answered the sky ‘You must learn not to waste nature.’
The people looked up and saw that the sky was high up, and from that day
they had a lot of work. And far above them was the sky, just as it is today

Scotland Quiz
On January 25th Scots at home and abroad celebrate the birth of their most famous
poet Robert (Rabbie) Burns. So, to mark Burns’ Night with our own little celebration,
we've put together a quiz on Scotland for your students to enjoy.

Level
Good Pre-intermediate and upwards

How to use the lesson

1. Divide the class into two teams, Team A and Team B. If there are more than ten
students in your class, divide them into four teams (Two Team As and two Team Bs).

2. Give each student in Team A a copy of Worksheet A and each student in Team B a
copy of Worksheet B. If possible, the two teams should be at some distance from the
other because the answers are clearly marked on the page, and they won't want the
other team to see the answers!

3. First, ask the two teams to read the questions in Part 1 and find an answer
underneath. Either check their answers yourself or copy the answers at the bottom of
this page to give them.

4. After they have checked the answers, tell your students they are going to prepare a
multiple-choice quiz for the other team. Refer them to Part 2, which shows an
example of the question format. Ask them to do the same for all the questions. If you
have word-processing facilities, ask your students to type out their questionnaires.

5. When they have finished, teams exchange their quizzes and select what they think
is the correct answer for each question.

6. Check the answers as a team game with each team scoring one point for a correct
answer. The team with the most points is the winner.

Answers for Team A

1. Edinburgh 2. kilt 3. lake 4. haggis 5. Ben Nevis 6. 5 million
7. Burns’ Night 8. Alexander Graham Bell 9. Russia

Answers for Team B

1. William Wallace 2. tartan 3. son of 4. barley 5. golf 6. bagpipes
