Discussion
I love fast food most of all. I am crazy for hamburgers and French fries. I’ll have a hamburger or hotdog whenever I can. McD’s is where I could eat three times a day.
But this is junk food, not healthy, bad for your health. You should eat more vegetables and fruiti An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Or even go for a vegetarian diet! You’ll like it. You’ll always feel good, full of energy. No meat in your diet will do you good. Beans are just as nourishing as meat, only better for your health. And fresh fruit like apples or bananas or pineapples go very well with honey — yummy-yummy!
Yes, right. I know lots of vegetarian recipes — you can make quite a few with, say, potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, celery or onions. They all taste delicious.
My Mum’s an excellent cook and we always look forward to our dinners together.
I’m not a 100% veggie, I eat fish or chicken once in a while, but I would never eat fast food.
I prefer organic food — it’s bought directly from the farmers. It could be meat, or fish, or fruit and vegetables. What’s important is that it’s free of any artificial flavouring and artificial food additives, so it’s healthy, good quality and always fresh.
Thanks everybody! I’m beginning to feel like I want a plateful of salad with a piece of roasted chicken. A dessert to follow would be nice — perhaps an apple or banana?

British meals: traditions and customs
One of the popular myths about the English is that they only eat fish and chips and roast beef, the Scots eat porridge, and the Irish live on potatoes. Some of it is true, but the British people also eat many other kinds of food, including their classic puddings, pies, soups, stews and sandwiches.
The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, baked beans and mushrooms. It is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain but not many people in the UK will eat this for breakfast today. A typical English breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereal, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee. In winter many people eat ‘porridge’ or boiled oats.
In British schools children have a school meal or bring a packed lunch in the middle of the day. A ‘packed lunch’ typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a drink. The ‘packed lunch’ is kept in a plastic container.
The evening meal is usually called ‘dinner’ or ‘supper’. A traditional British meal for dinner is ‘meat and two vegetables’ one of which is usually potatoes. Nowadays, except on Sundays, most people in Britain eat curry, rice or pasta dishes for dinner. Vegetables like carrots, peas, onions and cabbage are very popular, too. Sunday dinner is the traditional Sunday roast. It consists of roast meat, two different kinds of vegetables and potatoes with Yorkshire pudding.

Dear RAP,
My name is Trudy Walker, and I’m twelve years old. I’m American and I’d like to tell The RAP readers about my school.
I do many subjects at school including French, English, maths, history, geography, physical education and science. I start school at 9.30 a.m. and go home for lunch at half past twelve. School finishes at four o’clock. I don’t go to school on Saturday. Every evening I do my homework.
In general I like school. I don’t like maths very much because it’s a bit boring, but I like geography.
I would like to know more about schools in Britain and other countries. Could you publish some articles about school life or ask your readers to write about their schools?
Best regards,
Trudy Walker

For Indira and her classmates, the journey to school just got a lot harder. The Indonesian schoolgirl lives on one side of the Ciberang River but her school is on the other side — and the river has been flooding.
On Monday, the rising waters broke a pillar supporting a suspension bridge that the children usually use. There is another bridge, but it is too far away and the kids don’t want to be late for school. Indiana Jones himself would find it too risky, but children don’t seem to worry — the most important thing for them is to be at school on timel
Every morning before dawn, more than 50 children from Xinmin village in China get up at 5 a.m. and head for school eight kilometers away. To get to school they have to cross three mountains. As they start very early and it is still dark they take flashlights with them. There are some dangerous parts of the road, and when the children come to these, the younger ones have to hold onto the older children’s hands. Two hours later, they arrive at school and begin their day.
Going to school in China is no joke. Nearly 500 children from one of the villages cross the most dangerous part of the Nujiang River every day. There is no bridge over the river. Instead there is a steel cable over it. The children fasten themselves to the cable with a metal carabiner and a rope and slide across the 200-metre-wide canyon.
Mei, 5 years old, who was once stuck in the middle of the cable for nearly 20 minutes, told reporters, ‘I used to dream of having a bridge, but then I learned that my dream was too expensive.’
However, officials have finally agreed to spend £35,000 on a bridge after a TV programme was made about the children’s dangerous daily journey.

All you wanted to know about schools in Britain
By Rachel Wallace
I like my mum’s stories about her school days.
In her time, the best homework excuse was ‘The dog ate my essay’. In our time, kids will blame the computer. As to the rest, it’s pretty much the same. The school day usually runs from 9.00 a.m. until 4 p.m. The school year is divided into three terms (autumn, spring and summer). It begins on September 1 (or August 1 if a term starts in August). In this article I’m speaking about schools in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own educational systems.
Kids start school at the age of five and have at least 11 years of schooling. State education is free for children between the ages of five and sixteen. It means that their parents don’t have to pay. However, there are some private schools (called public schools) where parents pay the fees.
In Britain these schools are called public schools, while in the USA public school means free state school. Only 6% of kids attend public schools in Britain.
Pupils attend primary school from the age of five and then move to secondary schools usually at the age of eleven. At primary school, they have to study English, maths, science, design and technology, history, geography, art and design, music, physical education (PE), information and communication technology (ICT). Schools must also provide religious education (RE), but children don’t have to study it. Schools often teach citizenship and modern foreign languages as well.
At secondary school, from the age of 11 to 14, students study a broad range of 10-15 subjects. Traditionally, at the age of 14 students start a programme that lasts for 2 years, during which time they study 5-10 subjects of their choice. After this two-year period, students take GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) state examinations. These qualify students to continue to A level for university preparation.
Vocabulary term free at least to attend sth
range religious also to pay the fees
communication broad during to provide sth
preparation primary while to last
examination secondary onto to continue
13 Read the first paragraph again and answer the following questions:

Types of houses in Britain
By Rachel Wallace
Houses vary from one part of the country to another. Most houses in England are made of stone or brick from the local area where the houses are built. There are four basic types of housing in the UK:
• a detached house (a house not joined to another house);
• a semi-detached house (two houses joined together);
• a terraced house (one of several houses joined together);
• a flat (apartment).
A detached house is a house which is not joined to another house. A detached house can take on any form or style (it could be a bungalow or a cottage or a mansion). A bungalow is a house that is all on ground level. A cottage is a small house in the country. A mansion is a very large house. The free space surrounding the building is private to the owner and his family. This is the most expensive type of house.
A semi-detached house is a house which is joined to another house on one side.
The two houses are built to mirror each other. This type of housing became popular in the UK and Ireland in the 1920s to the 1930s. Now the semi-detached house is still the most popular type of housing in England.
A terraced house is a house which is part of a long row of houses which usually look the same. The row of such houses is called a terrace. Terrace housing is also known as row housing or townhouses. One of the major advantages of terrace housing is that it is usually cheaper than a semi-detached house built in the same location.
One great disadvantage is that there is no yard or garden that comes with the house.
A flat is a living area that takes only a part of a building. Usually, a flat is situated in a building that is split up into multiple living areas for different residents. Such a building is called an apartment block (British English) or apartment building since it usually consists of several apartments for rent. A flat can be a studio unit, a one-bedroom, two-bedroom or three-bedroom unit.

Hi, my name is Tracy.
(1) The RAP has asked their readers to write about their homes. Well, I live in a detached house in Bristol.
(2) In our house there are three rooms downstairs and three rooms upstairs. The three rooms upstairs are all bedrooms. Our living room is downstairs.
There is a sofa and an armchair in the living room. There is also a table with three chairs, a TV set, a DVD player and a video recorder there.
(3) Most houses have a bathroom upstairs, but ours is downstairs. In the bathroom there is a toilet and a shower. Some houses have a bathtub, not
a shower.
(4) If you come into my house through the back door, you will find yourself in the kitchen. In our kitchen there is a fridge. There is a freezer under the fridge. We have cupboards for food and for plates. There is an electric cooker. We don’t have a microwave and we cannot cook our food quickly. There is
a washing machine which Mum uses for doing laundry. We don’t have a dishwasher and I help my Mum with washing up in the sink.
(5) To the rear of the house there is a back yard where our playground is.
I can ride my bicycle there, too. In front of the house there is a lawn with beds of roses. It’s very pretty. There are two benches to sit on. I love the place and enjoy reading a book there!

East or West, home is best!
Essay contest
By Dennis Davidson
We are a big family and we live in a four-bedroom cottage in a quiet village. We love our house — it’s well designed, has a nice view of the river and each of us enjoys being there and spending time together. One day my grandma and grandpa who live next door came over and we were having tea all together. My Mum said,
‘I am so happy to see all of you here, when we are all sitting like this talking to each other, sharing the news, all jokes and laughing, I know I am at home. This is home to me — you, my children, my husband, my parents, whom I love very dearly and who make my life full and worth living.’
We were all impressed by mother’s touching words and my brother spoke up and said, ‘To me home is where I can relax, do nothing and watch TV. What about you. Sis,’ he asked my youngest sister Lucy.
‘Oh, to me home is where I can play with my dolls and have three meals a day. It is also a place where you can put up a Christmas tree.’ ‘Yes,’ said my youngest brother, ‘it’s where Santa Claus always comes and leaves presents for us all!’
‘How lucky you are,’ said my Dad, ‘to me home is a place where I am never at rest because you keep asking me questions. It is a place where something has to be taken care of all the time — fixing leaking taps, changing old light bulbs, hammering in nails for pictures to be hung! But... I love it! It keeps me busy.’
My grandmother looked at us and said, ‘Home to me is the only place where I can quickly recover from a cold or flu. No other place works that well for me. It’s a place filled with love and care.’ My grandpa smiled and said, ‘It is only at home that I can have a good night’s sleep.’
When my turn came I said, ‘It’s everything to me — a place I want to return to at the end of every day. There is no place like home!’

Who invented jeans?
Jeans were first made by a sail-maker, Oscar Levi-Strauss, in San Francisco in the 1850s.
The word jeans may come from ‘jene fustien’, a strong cotton cloth, first made in Genoa, Italy. The original jeans were brown until denim was used. The word denim, in its turn, comes from the name of the French manufacturing town Nim. In French, de Nim means ‘from Nim’. However, jeans are believed to be a 100% American invention and Levi’s is still one of the most popular brandsi

The worst gift for a pop-star
For Christmas and the New Year we may receive not only gifts we were dreaming about, but also some presents that we don’t like at all.
For example, Britney Spears remembers that her grandmother adored giving her socks. ‘Your relatives’ attention is important and every gift is good, but the socks — it’s too much.’
However, such a gift is more practical than the slippers that were given to Kylie Minogue at the age of 17. The slippers had the picture of Bugs Bunny. ‘When you are 17 you want to look cool. I was offended!’ remembers Kylie. ‘But of course I pretended to appreciate the slippers a lot and wore them at home. Thanks, granny!’
Sting is too polite to say what the worst gift he ever had was: ‘I received many presents I didn’t like too much, but I kept them all.’
Sir Elton John is not as polite as his friend and well remembers some terrible gifts of his childhood, among them models of planes that he had to build. He hated them. What he wanted very much was a CD!
For Emma Bunion her worst gift was a lamp decorated with artificial flowers. It was her grandmother’s present. Later on she hid the lamp in the wardrobe — it was so ugly!
The singer Jenny Frost from Atomic Kitten was rather afraid of her grandmother’s gifts, too. ‘My granny is an adorable lady,’ says Jenny Frost. ‘But she was mad about those shops where you can find the most useless little things. And it was there that she bought the earrings which sparkled and even played the tune Merry Christmas.’
One of the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham, thinks it isn’t nice to criticise presents, but she confides she received clothes she didn’t like a lot. ‘People told me, ‘Oh, you’re so stylish. I’m sure you’ll like it!’ And I thought, ‘Do you really think it’s nice?! I will never wear it!’

British High Streets
British High Streets are becoming very similar these days. In the past there were a lot of small shops but now these small private shops are disappearing. Now big shops which belong to large companies are more common.
In a typical British High Street you can find a Chemist’s, often called Boots. In Boots you can of course buy medicines but you can also buy other things, like perfume, cameras, film, CDs and radios.
In most High Streets there is also a department store, for example Marks & Spencer’s or Littlewoods; a stationer’s and a newsagent’s, like WH Smith’s; banks like Barclays, NatWest, Lloyds and music shops like Our Price Records. There is usually a post office in every town, although the smaller post offices now also sell newspapers and stationery.
The most common supermarkets are Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Tesco. And of course in nearly every town, like all over the world, there are fast food restaurants like McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Wendy.
There are also a lot of foreign restaurants:
Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, Italian and French restaurants are all common but there are not many British restaurants. You can eat English food in most pubs. Every town or village in Britain has at least one pub!

Was Sherlock Holmes a real detective?
No, he was not a real character, but he is probably the most famous fictional detective of all time and the most real of fictional characters! Amazing powers of observation and deduction helped Holmes solve the most complicated crimes and endeared him to readers.
His creator. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, modelled this great detective on the methods and mannerisms of his former teacher at medical school, Dr. Joseph Bell of Edinburgh, whose diagnostic intuitions often surprised his patients and pupils.
Most of the 60 stories about Sherlock Holmes begin at 22IB Baker Street in London, where he lived with his friend, Dr.Watson.

Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452, at Vinci, a small town near Florence in Italy. The sculptor and painter Verrocchio was his teacher in art. Most of his life Leonardo worked in Italy for rich noblemen, but he spent his last years in France. Eang Francis I of France appointed Leonardo to the position of ‘First painter, architect and mechanic of the King’ and gave Leonardo a beautiful and comfortable house near the King’s own residence where he often visited Leonardo for conversation. The King paid Leonardo well and allowed him to pursue his own interests in engineering and architecture. Leonardo died in Italy at the age of 67, on 2nd May 1519.
Leonardo da Vinci was a genius. He was good at many things, but many people think that Leonardo was one of the greatest painters of all time. Two of his pictures, the ‘Mona Lisa’ and ‘The Last Supper’ are among the best-known paintings in the world. He did lots of drawings. The best-known drawing is the ‘Vitruvian Man’.
Leonardo was also a sculptor, architect, musician, engineer, inventor, anatomist and botanist. Leonardo never went to school or university; he was educated in his father’s house receiving the usual elementary education of reading, writing and arithmetic. But his education never ended — he was interested in the world around him. His desire for knowledge was very strong. He was interested in exploring human and natural sciences: civil engineering, chemistry, geology, geometry, hydrodynamics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, optics, physics, pyrotechnics and zoology.
He was also an inventor. He made a contribution to everything known today. He came up with the idea of a helicopter, a tank and solar power. He constructed a calculator. For much of his life Leonardo was fascinated by the phenomenon of flight. He made many studies of the flight of birds, as well as plans for several flying machines. These plans included a helicopter and a light hang glider.
He drew the things he saw and the discoveries he made in his notebooks, and made notes about them. Leonardo’s notebooks are hard to read because he wrote backwards in ‘mirror writing’. The notebooks were not published in Leonardo’s lifetime. Many of his notebooks are now in museums or libraries such as Windsor Castle, the Louvre and the British Library.

What new facts have you learned about Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes?
World-famous people
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859—1930)
The British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote different kinds of books, from historical novels to adventure stories, but it was his detective stories about Sherlock Holmes that brought him fame. Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into more than fifty languages and made into plays, films, radio and television series, a musical comedy, a ballet, cartoons, comic books and advertisements.
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh. Doyle’s mother, Mary, was interested in literature and encouraged her son to explore the world of books. She was a very good story-teller. In his autobiography Conan Doyle wrote, ‘The stories that my mother told me when I was a child stand out more powerfully than the real facts of my life.’
Doyle was educated at a boarding school and studied at Edinburgh University. Doyle qualified as a doctor in 1885. After graduation Doyle practiced medicine as an eye specialist until 1891, when he became a full-time writer.
Doyle’s first novel about Holmes, ‘A Study in Scarlet’, was published in 1887. The story was written in three weeks in 1886. It introduced the detective, Sherlock Holmes, and Dr. Watson, the narrator. Holmes’s abilities border on the fantastic: he is famous for his logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise and his skills to solve difficult cases.
Watson has two roles in Holmes’s life. First, he gives practical assistance in the conduct of his cases; he is the detective’s right-hand man. Second, he is Holmes’s chronicler. Most of the Holmes stories are written from Watson’s point of view as summaries of the detective’s most interesting cases.
Already at the end of 1891 Doyle planned to stop writing about Holmes and end the series. But the public demanded the return of Holmes. Doyle’s readers expressed their disappointment by wearing mourning bands, and the magazine which was publishing the series lost 20,000 subscriptions. Doyle brought his popular character back to life in ‘The Empty House’ (1903). Holmes’s character has inspired many later writers to continue his adventures.

A month ago we asked our readers who they would call the Person of the Century. Today we start publishing biographies of the candidates. The first candidate is Bill Gates and this is what Samantha from Oliver Goldsmith High School, New York, wrote about him.
The Man of the Century — Bill Gates
This is the biography of one of the richest men in the world, William H. Gates III.
He was born on October, 1955, and was a Harvard student. He got his $15 million with a computer software company called Microsoft.
This man is the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft Corporation and also started Microsoft with his high school friend, Paul Allen.
He began writing programs in personal computer software when he was 13.
In 1975 Bill and Paul wrote a version of BASIC for the Microcomputer, the MITS Altair 8800.
Bill Gates and Paul Allen then formed Microsoft and developed software for personal computers.
Bill and Paul became very successful in 1980, when IBM asked them to write a new Disk Operating System (DOS), for their personal computers.
He recently bought a house with his wife, Melinda Gates, on Lake Washington. Bill Gates is also the author of a book called ‘The Road Ahead’.

And it only costs a hundred and thirty-nine dollars.
Where was it made?
It was made in Japan. Nearly all these CD players were made in Japan.
Are any of them made in the USA?
Er... no. They used to be but now everything is imported from Japan. These computers are made in the USA but a lot of the components are made in Japan. They’re just assembled in the USA. If all the parts were made in the USA, the computers would be very expensive.
I see. Well, which CD player would you buy? If I were you. I’d buy this CD player, the PSV. It’s a good price, it’s very reliable and it makes a great sound. I’ve got one myself. Here, try it.

• Russia has a long tradition of computing education.
Russia was one of the original innovators in studying computers and computer science at schools.
‘Computational Mathematics & Programming’, for example, was certified at national level in 1961.
• Under the National Computer Literacy Program (1985) computer science was included in the school curricula as a compulsory subject, alongside other scientific disciplines.
• The Computers for Rural Schools Initiative (2002-2003) ensured that each rural school in the country had a minimum of three computers in the building.
• The Internet for Every School Programme (2006-2008) further improved access to information technology across all of Russia, and today every school in the country must have computers and access to the Internet.

In Britain there are five main TV channels:
BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. BBC 1 and 2 are national channels while ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are private.
One of the big differences between Russian and British TV is that there is no advertising on the national channels. The money for the programmes comes from the TV licence, which costs £145.50 per year.
The BBC and ITV also have regional companies which show programmes in other languages, for example Welsh (the language of Wales) or Scottish Gaelic (the language of Scotland).
Many families also have satellite dishes and watch channels like Sky Movies, MTV and Eurosport.

I watch about two hours of TV every day. I always watch the news and the weather and I always watch my favourite soap, ‘EastEnders’. It’s great!
I never watch sports programmes because they’re boring. I sometimes watch films, but I don’t like horror films or westerns.
Do you watch ‘EastEnders’, too? Do you watch any sports programmes? Are there any special channels for teenagers in Russia? Do Russians watch TV a lot? Looking forward to your reply.

Music in our lives
By Rachel Wallace
Music is powerful. Music can make people smile and music can make people cry. Scientists say, early music training helps learn languages and develop logic. (A)
Music is part of almost every important event from weddings to graduation ceremonies and presidential inaugurations. Sportsmen listen to music before important games and competitions; cosmonauts listen to music before the flight. (B)
Everyone enjoys some sort of music. There are many different styles, or genres, of music. Some of the more familiar are classical, jazz, blues, rock&roll, rhythm and blues (R&B), rap, hip-hop, folk and metal, but the overall list goes on and on. (C)
Music can be heard now in waiting areas: the doctor’s and dentist’s office, airports, restaurants, bus terminals and train stations. Even while on-hold during a phone call there will be nice music for you to listen to as you patiently wait for the operator. Why? Music, especially the right music, is very soothing and relaxing. (D)
And finally, music is used for special occasions and celebrations. Every country has its national anthem; colleges and universities have their songs. People all over the world sing ‘Happy Birthday’ on their friends’ birthdays, and many sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ at the stroke of midnight at New Year’s Eve. (E)_____

Great British Bands of the Past The Police
The Police were one of the most successful bands in the history of British pop music.
There were three members in the band:
Stewart Copeland (drums), Andy Summers (guitar) and Sting (real name — Gordon Sumner). Sting was working as a teacher when he started playing with the band.
The band started playing in 1977 in London’s Roxy Club and then went on tour across Holland and the USA. Their first record ‘Roxanne’ was not a success initially, but in 1979 they had four successful records in the UK. Their first big success was ‘Can’t Stand Losing You’ (1979).
Their LPs*, ‘Regatta de Blanc’, ‘Zenyatta Mondatta’, ‘Ghost in the Machine’ and ‘Synchronicity’ (1983) were all enormous successes.
The band’s last record was ‘Synchronicity’. The most famous member of the band is Sting, who has made many records alone, including ‘The Dream of the Blue Turtles’ (1985) and ‘Mercury Falling’ (1996). He has also appeared in several films, including ‘Quadrophenia’, ‘Dune’, ‘The Bride’,
‘Plenty’ and ‘Grotesque’.

What does it mean?
Eisteddfod is one of the few Welsh words well-known outside Wales. This is the Welsh name for an annual competition where people meet to dance, sing and read poems.
An International Eisteddfod is held annually in Llangollen and the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales is held annually in North and South Wales alternatively. The tradition dates back to early history and there are records of competitions for Welsh poets and musicians in the 12th century.
The origins of music in Britain lie in the songs sung and dance music played by ordinary people, passed from village to village and handed down in unwritten form from generation to generation. The Eisteddfod is the most important festival in Wales and the largest travelling cultural festival in Europe.
