If you think you are trendy or you want to have a

young healthy image, it’s time to go extreme. Yes,

gone are the days when you could say you were

sporty just because you went jogging or hiking a few

times a week. That’s kids’ stuff! Extreme sports are in

and they are all about thrill and adventure. In a fast

moving world, people are used to things going

quickly and maybe that’s why more and more young

people want to push themselves to their limits. How

do they do this? Well, it seems that the best way to

push yourself to the extreme nowadays is to go rock

climbing or even to jump off a cliff or a bridge. For

others, it means rafting down rapids in a rubber boat

or snowboarding down a mountain

slope at a speed of over 100km an

hour. In fact, there are a

growing number of extreme

sports and they all involve

fitness, speed and danger. So if

you want to go extreme, you can

take your pick. However, you should

remember that because extreme

sports can be dangerous, you

should never practise them

on your own or without the

proper training. Have fun!

different families. We interviewed Nasrin from Pakistan about

her home and family life.

Explain the words in bold.Then, use four of them tomake sentences.

3

What is your home like?We’re lucky because we own a big two storey house in the city with

enough rooms for all my family. There are some families in the villages

that can only afford to rent houses with one room and everyone has to

live, eat and sleep in that one room.

How big is your family?Huge! I have three brothers and four sisters. We live with my parents, my

grandparents and my uncle’s family, so we need a big house. It’s

definitely an extended family! Wherever you go in my house, there are children running around.

Sometimes it’s really noisy, but one word from my mother or father and everything is under control. Inmy culture, we have a tradition of respecting our parents and we always do exactly as they say.

Do you help in the house?I do some chores like helping to prepare dinner. We have a garden where we grow all our own food. I

love spending time there whenever I can with my grandfather looking after the vegetables and chickens.

Do you get any pocket money?My father organises the household budget and he says that only children who help out should get

pocket money and I agree. My brothers are very lazy so they get very little. Working for your money

makes you value it more. As soon as I save enough pocket money, I’ll spend it all on books! I can’t wait.

Clauses of time tell us when something happens.They are introduced by: when, as, before, while,till/until, after, as soon as, as long as, whenever,since, by, by the time, the moment (that) etc. In timeclauses, we never use future tenses. We use thepresent simple. Dave will give me the money after hegets paid. I will talk to her as soon as she arrives.When the verb of the main clause is in the past simple,the verb of the time clause is in the past simple, too.He went to see the Acropolis when he was in Greece.

Clauses of place tell us where something happens.They are introduced by: where, wherever, as nearas, as far as, as low as, as high as. We do not usefuture tense in clauses of place, but present tensewhen we refer to the present or future. I’ll find youwherever you go. (NOT: you will go).

Clauses of manner tell us how something happens.They are introduced by: as if, as though, as, exactlyas, just as. We use present or future when we referto a real situation in the present or future and pastwhen we refer to a real situation in the past. He looksas if/as though he has a cold. She sounded as if/asthough she was angry. We use the past simple whenwe are talking about an unreal present situation. Hetalks about Jim as if he knew him. (but he doesn’t)Note: When the adverbial clause comes before themain clause, a comma is used. Where there issmoke, there is fire.

VICTORIA was the Queen of the United Kingdom from

1837 to 1901. The Victorian era was a period of very

important economic and social change. The British

Empire was a great world power and had the ability to control

commerce all over the world. The British built factories, roads,

railways and canals not only in Britain but also in lots of other

countries. A lot of people, including children, worked in factories or

coal mines to make Britain a great nation.

During Victorian times, many poor children worked from the age of five to

earn money to help feed their families. The jobs they did were difficult and

often quite dangerous.

Many children worked in coal mines. They pushed trucks of coal, or they opened

and closed doors to let air through tunnels. They often came down

with various illnesses from breathing coal dust. Even then, they rarely

gave up their jobs.

Other children worked in cotton factories. When the cotton threads

broke, children went into the machines to fix them. This was very

dangerous.

Children also worked as chimney sweeps because they were small

and thin. They climbed up narrow chimneys to clean them.

Street children or orphans usually did this job.

The masters were often cruel. Children often worked as

many as sixteen hours a day for very low wages. A lot of

children had health problems and accidents.

Lord Shaftesbury helped to stop adults from using

young children at work. He started free schools for poor

children. By the end of Victorian times, all children went to

school until the age of 10.

Conclusion

Main Body

The person that I admire most is scientist StephenWilliam Hawking. He was born on 8th January 1942 inOxford, England. Stephen is famous for his work on thebasic laws of the universe.

Stephen studied Physics at University College, Oxford. Hewas diagnosed with MND1 while still at university. Stephenslowly lost control of his muscles and eventually he couldn’twalk. He managed to finish his studies, got married andstarted a career at the university.

Some years later, he lost his voice completely. Today, acomputer system on his wheelchair helps him to speak. Ofhis many books, A Brief History of Time is Stephen’s bestseller.

Anthony Hawking is very intelligent and brave, and henever gives up on life. When I think of him, I know thatanything is possible as long as you really want it and workhard to achieve it.
