Do you know of any tales about giants? Tell the class.

1
What it is
The Giant's Causeway is a bridge of rocks between Ireland and Scotland. It is made up of
tens of thousands of tall pieces of rock. Most of the pieces have six sides that fit together
and make a surface people can walk on. They can't walk to Scotland though because most
of the Giant's Causeway is under the sea! According to an Irish legend, a powerful giant
called Finn MacCool built the Causeway.
The legend
Once, there were two giants. Finn MacCool lived with his wife in Ireland and
Benandonner lived across the sea in Scotland. They were enemies, but they couldn't
cross the sea to fight. Then, one day Finn had an idea. He threw rocks into the sea
and made a bridge. After this, he was very tired so he went to sleep. Over the sea
in Scotland, Benandonner started running across the bridge. Finn's wife
couldn't wake her husband up so she dressed him in babies'
clothes. When Benandonner saw the sleeping baby, he
Finn MacCool imagined the huge size of the father and was terrified. He
ran back home over the Causeway and as he ran, he pulled
up the rocks to stop Finn following him to Scotland.
The science
Scientists believe that the Giant’s Causeway is the result of
a volcanic eruption over 50 million years ago. The boiling
lava pushed up through the ground and cooled into the
shapes we can see today.
So ... what do you think? Is the Giant's Causeway a wonder of nature
or is it a mysterious place of myth and legend?

ñ keep alive ñ recover
How a short hike in the jungle nearly cost an Australian man his life.
Lying on his back and unable to move, Hayden Adcock was not fully aware of the helicopter flying over
the jungle canopy. When a few hours later the search party arrived to rescue him, they found him in critical
condition. He was suffering from cuts, insect bites, and severe exhaustion after spending 11 days lost in
the jungle with no food.
Hayden Adcock was a healthy 40-year-old man and an experienced hiker and traveller. At the end of
July, he was in Laos, near Thailand, and he decided to take a short hike to a well-known waterfall. He was
wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and walking shoes and carrying only a bottle of water when he started his walk
through the national park. As he was visiting a second waterfall, heavy rainfall washed away all the paths.
The jungle began to look the same everywhere and Adcock finally realised he was lost.
Adcock was looking for a way out through some trees when he saw a cliff. Suddenly, big lizards
appeared and ran towards him. Shocked and afraid, Adcock ran through the forest. As he was running, he
cut himself and then fell into a river. Hurt and confused, he decided to stay near the waterfall so that
helicopters could easily spot him, and he could drink the water. Night after night insects and animals
scratched and bit him. Their poison slowly made its way into his blood. He spent the last three days
on his back not able to move his hands or feet.
On 10th August, Adcock was airlifted to a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Adcock told reporters
that the one thing that kept him alive was the thought of seeing his family and friends again. It will
take him some time to recover, but he feels lucky to be alive.

Sand Sculpting Festival
I’m here with my family at the Sand Sculpting Festival on Frankston Beach,
A Melbourne, Australia. We’re staying for the weekend. The festival lasts from
the end of December to the end of April and the theme of the sculptures
changes every year. This year the sculptures show creatures and scenes from
the age of the dinosaurs. There are several dozen huge dinosaurs made of
3,500 tons of sand. You might think you are in Jurassic Park! You can watch
the sculptors at work, too. It’s fascinating. I fancy having a go myself. The
exhibition opens every day at 10 am, so tomorrow I’m making my own
dinosaur at the Sand Workshop – with a little professional help!

Roswell UFO Festival

B
My friends and I are having a fantastic time at this year’s Roswell UFO
Festival in New Mexico, USA. It’s a four-day event that takes place every year
in early July. Some people believe that an alien spaceship – a UFO – crashed
in a field near Roswell in 1947 and the festival celebrates that event. Not
everyone believes this story, of course, but the festival is still a lot of fun.
Everyone dresses up as aliens for the Alien Costume Competition. The
costumes are fabulous and even family pets take part. There are dogs dyed
blue and tortoises covered in aluminium foil! Today we’re watching the
parade down Main Street and tomorrow the firework display starts at 9
pm. They say it’s really amazing. So are some of the aliens you meet.

C Winter Carnival
Here in Saranac Lake, New York it’s -5oC and people are celebrating their
Winter Carnival. The festival takes place at the beginning of February each
year and lasts 10 days. The local people build an enormous ice palace as a
home for Sara the Snowy Owl, the town mascot. The festival begins with
the crowning of the Winter Carnival King and Queen. Lots of fun events
follow, including races and treasure hunts. Right now we are watching the
parade. There are dozens of colourful floats carrying people in fancy
costumes. The whole town comes alive. Tonight we’re watching the
firework display over the Ice Palace. What a ‘cool’ celebration!

ñ bright ñ keep away
ñ bad spirit ñ tell off b) What do you know about Chinese New Year?
ñ fortune ñ symbolise How are the pictures related to it?
This is the time when Chinese families celebrate the start of a

New Year in the Chinese calendar. It is the most important
Chinese festival.
The Chinese New Year starts with the first new moon, usually in
late January or early February. The celebrations last until the full
moon – 15 days later! The Chinese celebrate New Year with
family gatherings, wonderful foods, firecrackers, lion dancers,
street parades and lanterns. There are also a lot of superstitions
surrounding the celebrations.
ñ Red is a bright, happy colour that keeps away bad spirits. So,
to bring good luck for the following year, people decorate
their homes with red banners and everyone wears red clothes.
1 Family and friends also give children little red envelopes with
gifts of money in them.
ñ Children have a great time during the New Year celebrations.
2 They can eat lots of sweets, which the Chinese believe makes
the following year ‘sweet’. Best of all, parents don’t tell them
off, even when they are behaving badly, because nobody
wants them to start crying. An old superstition says that a child
that cries at New Year cries every day of the coming year.
ñ There are other things people try to avoid during the New
Year celebrations. Before the New Year, the Chinese clean
their houses to clear out any bad luck from the previous year.
People finish sweeping and cleaning before New Year’s Day
because they believe you brush away your good luck if you
sweep the house on that day.
ñ Another thing the Chinese avoid doing during the
celebrations is using scissors or knives. It’s very unlucky to cut
3
your hair or even to chop vegetables, and no one wants to
risk their good fortune for the coming year.
On New Year’s Eve the Chinese visit relatives and have a large
meal together. Typically, they eat eight or nine dishes because
these are lucky numbers. They often eat long noodles that
symbolise long life.

1 Australians celebrate Remembrance Day on 11th November every year in

honour of the 62,000 Australians who died fighting in World War I. It is also an
occasion to honour soldiers who have died in wars since then.
2 In the morning, the crowds gather at war memorials across the country. People
sing songs and read poems. Then, just before 11 am, a musician plays The Last Post on
a bugle. This slow, sad tune signals the beginning of a two-minute silence. Eleven o’clock
marks the end of the First World War on the morning of the 11th November, 1918. Then
the bugler plays The Rouse. This is the tune which wakes soldiers up in the mornings and,
as part of the Remembrance Service, is a sign of hope and of a new beginning.
3 On this occasion many people wear red paper poppies pinned to their clothes.
The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day because these flowers grew in such
huge numbers on the battlefields in France during World War I.
