LIVING ABROAD Lesson 3


Hi, everyone! Greetings from my new school in San Antonio, Texas.

This is an interesting city and I can do different things. There are two great places: Seaworld, a famous marine life theme park that has three daily shows with whales, seals and dolphins, and the San Antonio Zoo. It’s fantastic!

We live in a beautiful area and my school is near our house. My favorite place is the Riverwalk, a canal that crosses the center. We can go down the river in a boat or walk along it; there are many places to sit, talk, and have something to eat or drink. Mexican food is delicious, and we can also listen to Mariachi music!

This is a beautiful city and the people are very nice. I’ve got some new friends, but I miss you all a lot! Write and tell me if you liked the photos!

Love,Ema

field. The batter has three attempts

to hit the ball that the pitcher throws

and then run around all the bases. The

batter can only run when the ball lands

T H E F A S T E S T T H I N G O N N O L E G S


Oscar Pistorius, the world record holder over 100, 200 and 400 meters, does not consider himself as impaired. He runs on a pair of fiber legs, but he has an incredible attitude to his disability.Pistorius was a rugby, water polo, and tennis enthusiast. He became an athlete by chance in January 2004, when he shattered one of his artificial knees on the rugby field. Before going to Pretoria for rehabilitation, he hated athletics. Eight months later, he competed at the Athens Paralympics in 2004. He was the first paralympic athlete to win Gold in each of the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints in Beijing 2008 and set a new record for the 400m in May 2011 at the Paralympic World Cup in Manchester, UK. In July 2011, he made history in Italy with a

personal best of 45.07 seconds for the men’s 400m. Only one month after that, he ran against non-disabled athletes in Daegu, South Korea, and qualified for the 400m semi-finals.Oscar Pistorius is not only a gold medalist with no legs. He is an outstanding athlete, a real character, and a true ambassador for disability sport.

A a. When tennis started. b. An important year for the

Wimbledon tournament.c. Money that the women’s

champion gets.d. Money that the men’s

champion gets.

Tennis started in France nearly 1,000 years ago. The

game was originally played in the courtyards of royal

palaces, using the walls (like squash) instead of a net.

The score system (15, 30, 40) is probably based on

the four quarters of a clock face.

One of the most important tennis tournaments is

Wimbledon. It is the only Grand Slam tournament which is

played on grass. Open tennis started at Wimbledon in 1968. It means that

amateurs and professionals can play in the Championships.

Pete Sampras and Roger Federer are the most successful male

players in Wimbledon. They won the tournament seven times.

Even more impressive is women’s champion Martina Navratilova,

with nine victories.The prize money for the 2008 Championship was approximately

£ 11 million. Of this, the men’s singles champion receives

£ 750,000 and the women’s singles champion receives £750,000.

Wimbledon is the only tournament free from sponsorship.

This means that there are no advertisements around

the courts.

I. __________________________________________________

Greenhouse gases, cars, and coal are some of the factors

that cause global warming. When we burn wood, coal,

or gasoline in our cars, we release a gas called carbon

dioxide. It traps some of the energy from the earth and

doesn’t let the energy go back out into space.

When carbon dioxide in the air goes up, the earth heats

up. That is the start of global warming.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. There are several

other greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is responsible

for about half of our global warming and all the other

gases are responsible for the other half.

III. ______________________________

Scientists think that temperatures will

go up between 2 and 6 degrees over

the next century. This will cause sea ice

to melt and result in a rise in sea level.

There will also be more evaporation

that will cause more clouds and more

rainfall. Some scientists also think that

there will be more hurricanes as a

result of global warming.

II. ______________________________

The earth’s temperature stays

almost the same from year to

year. If this average temperature

is higher, then we have global

warming.

Amazing CreaturesWritten by Isabelle Tin-Aung

There are amazing and interesting creatures in the animal kingdom. Some of these creatures doincredible things with their bodies.

Look at the chameleon. This lizard can change its skin color to match itssurroundings. Why does it do this? Sometimes it’s because it’s angry. Andsometimes it’s because it’s meeting another animal in a friendly way.

The grizzly bear is another interesting creature. These bearslive in countries where winters are very cold. One of the things the grizzly beardoes is hibernate in the winter. Hibernating is when an animal goes into a deepsleep. The bear hibernates during the winter because the weather is very cold. Theground freezes and food is difficult to find. Sleeping helps these animals survive inthe difficult winter. Grizzly bears can sleep for up to seven months with no foodor water!

An amazing underwater creature is the flying fish. You already know that fishcome in lots of shapes and colors, but they all do three important things.

All fish live in water.All fish swim using their fins.All fish use their gills to get oxygen from the water.

Flying fish are a little different from ordinary fish. These fish have “wings” to help them fly outof the water. They make long, flying jumps out of the water. Why? Because big fish like to eatthem! The big fish can’t see the flying fish when they’re in the air.

Government secondary schools in England

are similar to government secondary schools

in Chile, but there are some diferences. There

are five years of secondary school in England,

from age 11 to 16. The students start at nine

o’clock and finish at half past three. The lunch

break is usually from twelf o’clock to one

o’clock.

After five years, students take official

exams. Some students leave shcool after five

years, but others stay and study more before

going to university. Secondary school students

do home work for about an our every evening.

Students usually study mathematics,

English, chemistry, biology, phisics,

geography, history and French.

They also take physical education and play

soccer, hockey, net-ball and cricket.

Welcome to blue-jeans.com

Do you know where your blue jeans come from? Read this simple but amazing story.

Imagine it’s the year 1853. Mr. Levi Strauss arrives in San Francisco and he opens a store. He

has many customers who often visit the store. One of his customers is Mr. Jacob Davis. He

usually buys shirts and pants, but he needs his pants to be stronger. What can he do?

Suddenly, he has a brilliant idea: he puts metal rivets on the pockets.

His pants now look very nice and original and are an instant success. Many people want to buy

pants like these. So, Jacob now needs a business partner and asks Mr. Levi Strauss to be his partner.

They are very good friends and go together to get a patent for the design. They get patent #139,121

from the US Patent and Trademark Office 20 years later, in 1873. Strauss and Davis never imagined

that they were going to design the most popular pants on earth!

(Latin name delphinidae) are aquatic mammals and they can

swim in the ocean at speeds of 35 kilometers per hour and

they can also dive. Dolphins are found in many parts of the

world and usually live in groups called schools or pods. They

are also very sociable animals and they are famous for their

intelligence. Scientists often do studies on dolphins and we

now know that they can communicate in many different

ways. For example, they can imitate actions and understand

artificial symbolic language, but they can’t produce human

verbal language.

B Read the text below.

Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins were three braveyoung men who set off from Cape Canaveral in Apollo XI on July 16,1969, to go to the moon. They arrived four days later, after anuneventful journey of some quarter of a million miles. Armstrong wasthe first human being to set foot on the moon. “That’s one small stepfor a man,” he said over a worldwide radio transmission, “one giantleap for mankind.” Armstrong and Aldrin spent a day and a night onthe moon. The mission was a success. Apollo XI, with its precious cargoof brave men and moon rocks, splashed down into the Pacific Oceanon July 24. Today, some people believe that the landing was set upand that the journey never actually happened. What do you think?
