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?

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.
Reading
a) Read the introduction and look at the pictures, then listen
1 to the sounds. What do you think happened to Hayden Adcock?
List all the past simple forms in the text. Which are irregular?

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!

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
