The fact is, it depends. Students have lessons, but they can study when they want. Jack wakes up at seven and reads for an hour before breakfast. He starts his lessons at nine. Abi prefers to start school early, so she has free time for sports and other activities in the afternoon. ‘I get up and log on for my first lesson at eight’ she says. ‘I read the notes on the whiteboard on my computer.’ Abi doesn’t see her teachers, but she can hear them. Later, she can ask questions online or by phone. Both Jack and Abi have four lessons in the morning. After lunch, they do homework and class projects. ‘I don’t sit at the computer all day,’ says Jack. ‘I make robots, or I go to the library and learn about the things I like.’ Of course, online students don’t see their classmates every day. They sometimes go on school trips together, but they only meet friends in after-school clubs. They also need to be motivated, because they spend a lot of time studying alone. In other ways, online schools are the same as ordinary schools. ‘We do all the normal subjects like maths and history,’ says Abi. ‘We do tests and we get grades for our work.’ Online learning | My story | News | Events Subscribe EOZONEEO Learning Every year, more and more teens study at online high schools.

Suzy Skater 6th October | 8:10 pm Let’s hope Brighton gets the gold at the Olympics! MarioBlogs THIS WEEK’S TALENTED TEEN IS BRIGHTON ZEUNER. Brighton is 13. Like any other 8th grade student in the USA, in the evenings she usually does homework or listens to music in her bedroom. She likes Beyoncé. She hardly ever has free time but she loves watching videos on YouTube. But Brighton, from Encinitas, California, is also an X-Games champion skateboarder. And not in a junior competition. No – Brighton is the world champion and competes against women twice her age. Amazing, right? But the future looks even more exciting for Brighton. The big news is that skateboarding is now an Olympic sport! To prepare for the next X-Games and the Olympics, Brighton trains every morning before school, and in the afternoon she always practises in her local skate park. Is it difficult to be famous when you’re so young? Brighton says she is sometimes nervous when she gives interviews or before competitions, but it’s all part of doing the sport she loves. And the great thing about Brighton is that she’s a skateboarding superstar, but she’s also a normal person like you or me. 6th October 6th October | 10:13 pm It’s great that Brighton can still have a normal life.

The longer read Resource centre 51 4 Today we’re looking at extreme weather in two very different places. Let’s start with Mawsynram in India. It isn’t cold there, but it is wet. This is the wettest place in the world. The monsoon season is longer here than in any other place, and it rains every day! The heaviest rain is at night, so people put grass on the walls and roof of their homes to stop the noise. They stay at home most of the time in the rainy season. When they go out, they carry bamboo umbrellas over their heads. They use the roots of living trees to make bridges across rivers. Students use these when they walk to school. The rain destroys normal bridges, but these living bridges can last for hundreds of years. In winter, Oymyakon in Siberia is the coldest town in the world. The average temperature is -50°C, and it’s dark for 21 hours of the day. Life here isn’t easy. People can only stay outside for a minute or two, and they can’t make a phone call in the street because mobile phones freeze! Vegetables don’t grow here, so people usually eat meat and drink reindeer milk. They hardly ever go shopping because the nearest city is two days away by car. In other countries, students don’t go to school when it snows, but in Oymyakon, snow and ice are normal. Here, schools only close when the temperature is lower than -52°C! Life in Mawsynram and Oymyakon is more difficult than in other places, but the people of these two towns f ind ways to live with extreme weather every day. tables d drink re se the her cou nows, b mal.

(too) When you go on a camping holiday, it’s important to pack your backpack well. It’s easier to carry the heavier things at the top. The lighter things go at the bottom of the backpack. 1 TOP SECTIONBOTTOM SECTION The bottom section is the biggest and this is where you pack the things you don’t need while you are travelling to the campsite. Your sleeping bag is probably the biggest thing you’re carrying, but it’s also quite light. It’s a good idea to pack this first, right at the bottom. After that, pack your clothes, cooking equipment and the rest of your food too. The top of your backpack is for things you need on the journey. This is a good place for your hat, your water bottle and a snack too. The top section also has space to put your waterproof jacket: it’s easy to get it out if it starts to rain. 2 3 Get it right: HOW TO PACK FOR A CAMPING TRIP 4www.frenglish.ru

5 If you’re feeling cold and hungry in winter in Canada, then there is only one thing to eat: poutine. There isn’t a be"er snack! To make poutine, you take some chips, add some cheese and cover it all with meat sauce. It’s a delicious way to get warm on a winter’s day. If you visit Portugal there is a fantastic cake you must eat called pastel de nata. It’s a small cake made with eggs and bu"er. For me there’s only one problem with pastel de nata: there isn’t any chocolate! When you visit other countries, forget fast food like burgers. There is some great local food you must try. Here are some of our favourites! Imagine: you’re walking along the road in Kingston, Jamaica. Music is playing and there is a wonderful smell of herbs and spices. You’re starting to feel really hungry and there’s only one thing you want to eat: jerk chicken. There aren’t any chips with this takeaway. You eat jerk chicken with rice and peas. The weather is tropical and it’s sunny and hot. After a long day you want something cool and sweet. There are two alternatives. The first is an ice cream. That sounds good, but in the Philippines there is something be"er: halo-halo. Halo- halo is a delicious mix of fruit, milk and lots more, but it’s also beautiful and includes purple ice cream! There are some great food stalls in Thailand and one of the most popular dishes is pad Thai.

75The longer read Resource centre Some scientists say that one species becomes extinct every seven minutes. What can we do to stop this from happening? Let’s meet two endangered animals and find out. A (…) The saiga has got brown or grey fur, horns and a very strange long nose. It lives in groups in the deserts of south-east Europe and central Asia. They can travel up to 1,000 km between summer and winter. In the 1990s there were more than a million saigas, but by the year 2000 the population was less than 50,000. B (…) The mountain gorilla is a large mammal. It lives in national parks in two regions of Africa. It’s got black fur and is very intelligent. In 1960 there were about 500 gorillas in the Virunga mountains, but by the 1970s the population was about 200. C (…) The saiga and the gorilla were both at risk of extinction. The reduction in habitat was a big problem: there wasn’t enough open space for the saiga and there was less forest for the gorilla. Hunting was also a serious problem. Some people kill gorillas or sell them. There weren’t any laws to stop this until 2008. Other people kill saigas for their horns. D (…) Animal conservation organisations, like WWF, and governments were very worried and there was a big campaign to help the saiga and the gorilla, with more money to protect their habitats and new laws to stop hunting. There were special exhibitions and there was even a saiga stamp! E (…) The saiga and mountain gorilla are still in danger but the populations are slowly growing. And the saiga and the gorilla are not the only success stories: a similar programme is also helping the giant panda. Extinction of plants and animals is still a very serious problem, but with success stories like these, we can see that change is possible.

We need to teach people about plastic, and help to clean our beaches. In the 1700s, there were between 150,000 and 300,000 of these otters, but people hunted them for their fur. In 1911, they were almost extinct. Sea otters are the smallest marine mammal, but they’ve got very strong tails to help them swim. They live in the seas around Japan, Alaska, California and Mexico. Sea otters To help to save them, you can join a wildlife organisation and adopt a red panda, or campaign to stop the destruction of forests in Asia. Red pandas Red pandas live in the forests of China, India, Nepal and Myanmar. They’ve got red fur with black legs and a white striped face.

87 When Storm Harvey came to Texas, it destroyed houses and roads. About 30,000 people left their homes before the storm, but others stayed. They didn’t have drinking water or electricity, and they couldn’t go outside because the streets were like rivers! In those difficult times, the brave Texan people helped each other, and many ordinary citizens became local heroes. Among them were four teenage boys: 17-year- old Thomas Edwards and his friends, Richard, 17, Liam, 17 and his brother Declan, 15. They began to look for people and take them to a safe place. Sometimes they heard calls for help. Other times, neighbours gave them addresses, or directions to the homes of family and friends. For several hours, the boys worked alone, going from house to house. Later, they helped police officers and rescue services. In total, they saved at least 50 people, and even more pets. ‘We rescued families, babies, dogs, rabbits,’ said Thomas. A photographer for a local newspaper saw the boys, and he posted photos of them on social media. People wrote comments, calling them heroes. Later, the boys said they didn’t do it because they wanted to be heroes. They just wanted to help. THE DAILY WIRE Thomas told journalists that he woke up that morning and saw houses under water. His car was under water too, but luckily, he had a small fishing boat. He rang his friends and they decided to go out in the boat.

Reading 1 Match 1–3 with a–c to make sentences.

Reading tip Use the advice in exercise 1 to help you with the reading tasks on this page. 2 Look at the texts on this page but don’t read them! Where are they from? How do you know? a a live feed b a book c a newspaper 3 Read the titles of the stories. With a partner predict three items of vocabulary you think are in each story. a A place of extremes b No more boys and girls c Holiday essentials d The best place to live Look what you know! 1091010109 4 56 Read and listen to the stories. Match the titles in exercise 3 with each story. 5 Are the sentences true or false? 1 John Lewis stopped selling children’s clothes. 2 One problem was the typical colour of girls’ clothes. 3 Atacama is dry because of its position. 4 There’s rain in all parts of the Atacama desert, but only a little. 5 Bristol is not a good place for cycling. 6 London isn’t a very healthy city. 7 Over half of British people take food on holiday. 8 They take food because they can’t ask for things in another language. 6 Correct the false sentences in exercise 5. Exam tip If a question has several parts, make sure you leave time to do all of them. If you don’t try a question you won’t get any points. 7 Word work The words in bold in the text all appeared in the Word work exercises in Units 1–8. Can you remember what they mean? 8 Work in pairs. Order the stories from most to least interesting, then compare your order with your partner. If it’s different, explain your reasons. 1 (…) Striped leggings, a top with dinosaurs, cool trainers – but are these great kids’ clothes for boys or girls? At John Lewis department stores now, there isn’t a difference. They didn’t like the idea of pink clothes for girls, or boys’ clothes with words like ‘Future Scientist’ so they decided to stop having separate sections for boys’ and girls’ clothes and just sell a mix of clothes for all children. 2 (…) The Atacama in Chile is officially the driest desert on Earth. The average rainfall is just 1 mm and in parts of the desert, it never rains. Its position between the Andes mountains and the sea means that rain clouds often can’t get to the Atacama. Experts think the last time it rained in some places was hundreds of years ago. 3 (…) Britain’s healthiest town is Bristol! With 45 sports clubs and more than 230 cycle routes, the citizens of Bristol live in the top place for a healthy life. Experts counted swimming pools, parks, sports centres and fast-food restaurants. What about London? It was number 5 – from the bottom! Source: SBO.net 4 (…) What do more than 60% of British people take when they go on holiday? Is it sun cream, a guidebook, or a toothbrush? You’re wrong! The answer is quite strange! Among the things British people pack, one of the most important is food. Some people don’t like foreign food and drinks; others think it’s too expensive. Among the most popular things you can find in a British suitcase are tea and instant coffee, biscuits and noodles! 109 ews N2nd August 9www.frenglish.ru
