on your forehead and travel down your body to your neck, arms, legs, and feet. The spots don’t turn into bumps
that pop. The spots are more like a rash. After 3 to 5 days, the spots will go away. Measles can also give you a
fever and also earaches and eye problems! Be careful around measles.

Students show their work to parents and other visitors. Students also make art displays, put on shows, and sell
food. Bunkasai is open to everyone, not just students. So, sometimes students who have graduated go back to
their old school to visit.
Prom is an important event in American schools. Prom is a special dance for senior (grade 12) students. At prom,
boys wear black suits and ties. The girls wear beautiful dresses. It is a tradition that boys ask girls to this event.
Asking a prom date out is a special moment for American students. The popular term for this is “promposal.”
Promposals have even become the subject of many popular online videos.
Teacher’s Day is an event in many different countries. It is a really popular event in Vietnam. Students prepare
special performances to say thank you to their teachers. These performances include singing, traditional dancing,
and orchestras. Sometimes famous pop singers go back to their old schools to perform. Students also give
flowers and other gifts to their teachers. On this day students remember this old Vietnamese saying: “When you
eat a fruit, think of the man who planted the tree.”

M: Welcome to Extreme Vacation. I’m Jay Bailey. Every week I take a trip to a very special place. This week I’m
here with my guide Yadav, at Everest Base Camp in Nepal. This camp is at the bottom of Mount Everest. We are
still very high, though. We are at 5,354 meters right now! I’m very excited to be here, but I’m little tired because
we have hiked 37 km! We started our hike 4 days ago. We started in a small town called Lulkla. I met Yadav at
the airport, and we slowly hiked here.
I’m here just to visit the base camp. But others are getting ready to climb the mountain! Because it’s so high they
need to have a few days resting here before they start. Now, let’s talk to my friend Yadav here. Yadav, have you
been here before?
M2: Yes, I’m from Lulkla, and I work as a guide for mountain climbers, so I’ve been here many times.
M2: Yes, go slowly. Because you are going high up, it can get difficult to breathe. So go slowly - only 3-4 hours of
hiking per day is usually best. Oh and bring a lot of money. There is a shop here for food, but it’s quite expensive
here.
M: OK, thanks Yadav. Well, it’s getting cold here now. So let’s have dinner and go to sleep. Tomorrow we’re going
to start hiking back to Lulkla. Thanks for listening to Extreme Vacations… good night!

W: My sister Naya and I like to go on vacations together. We usually travel to faraway places while we’re on
vacation. When we travel, Naya brings a lot of luggage. I only bring one small bag. Naya is very friendly, so she is
always meeting new people on our trips. But, I like to go sightseeing by myself. I’m not really interested in
meeting strangers. Naya also likes adventures in nature more than I do. She enjoys mountain biking and rock
climbing. Those things are way too hard for me. I prefer to swim and lay by the hotel pool. Naya and I agree on
one thing: We both love the sea. For our next trip, we want to take a cruise ship to Mexico. I can’t wait!

M: Hey, I haven’t seen you for a while. Where have you been?

M: Oh, you’re right. I made a mistake—I apologize. I’ll bring you a new bill with the 20 percent discount.
W: Wait—20 percent? I ate here a few weeks ago, and the student discount was 30 percent then.
M: Sorry, but we’ve changed it to 20.

W: Hey, John! How was your trip to the zoo?
M: Hi, Wendy! It was great. I got to see lots of cool animals. I saw an animal that has very interesting feathers!
Number 2.
W2: They have tails for lots of reasons. Cats have tails for balance.
W2: They use their tails to help them balance on narrow spaces.
Number 3.
W: What's your favorite animal, James?
M: Hmm... I haven't thought about it. You know, I really think octopuses are interesting.
W: Really? Why?
M: They're really smart! They can even open jars. They can also hide really well!
W: I had no idea.
Number 4.
M: Why cows?
W: They're more interesting than you think! Their stomach has 4 parts. The biggest part can hold up to 50 gallons
of food!
M: Wow! That's amazing.
[Track 09-03]
Number 1.
W: There is an easy way to tell a monkey from an ape. Do you know how? Look for a tail! Most monkeys have a
tail. Apes usually do not have a tail. Look at that gorilla over there. You can tell it’s an ape because it’s so big and
has no tail! Did you know that gorillas are very intelligent? People have taught them enough to use sign
language.
Number 2.
M: When you look at a kiwi, it doesn’t look like a bird. That’s probably because it doesn’t have feathers like most
birds. But, a kiwi’s hair is made from small feathers. Kiwis are small flightless birds from New Zealand. They’re
from the ratites family. This is the same animal family as ostriches and emus. Of course, ostriches and emus are
huge—unlike the cute little kiwi. Did you know that a mama kiwi can lay an egg that’s 20% of the bird’s body size?
It’s kind of scary isn’t it? You can tell this fish from others by its two long fangs which come from its lower jaw.
These fish can be found in the Amazon Basin. They’re large and silver colored. They eat other fish and are very
fast and strong. They’re so fast that many fisher men call them silver missiles. Did you know that they’ve also

M: Camels are interesting creatures. They live in dry areas of Africa and Asia. Usually in deserts. There are two
different types of camel. One kind, a Dromedary, has 1 hump—a large raised area on their back. The other has
two humps, a Bactrian. Camels are very big and have special bodies. For example, they have three eyelids. This is
to help them keep sand out of their eyes. They also have long tails with hair on the end. They use their tails to
keep bugs off them. Camels can also go without food or water for a very long time. They keep fat in their hump.
This hump gets smaller the longer they go without food. Also, when a camel does find water, it drinks a lot. Did
you know a camel can drink over 40 gallons of water at once? It’s because of all these abilities that people use
camels to travel in deserts.

Number 8
W: I love being outside in nature! It’s so peaceful.
[Track 09-06]
Number 1
M: About one-third of the Earth is desert. A desert is a place that receives less than 25cm of precipitation a year.
Most deserts are cold deserts such as the Arctic and Antarctic deserts. Only about 20% of deserts on Earth have
sand. Deserts are not all flat and empty. They can have hills. Giant sand hills are called dunes.
Number 2
W: Dust storms are dangerous. They cause damage to buildings. They are bad for people’s health. They even
spread diseases. Lately, the number of dust storms has gone up. This is true for countries in the Middle East.
There’s also an increase in dust storms in Asia. For example, sand from the Gobi desert is traveling across China
M: Nature can be amazing. When you think of flowers, you probably think of small flowers like roses. But, there is
a special flower that is three meters tall! The flower is called the titan arum. You can find this flower deep in the
woods of western Sumatra. But if you see one, don’t get too close. The titan arum has a very bad smell when it’s
open.

[Track 09-11]
Number 1
M: Galeras is a volcano in Colombia that has erupted frequently since the Spanish came. The volcano is
dangerous because it throws rock and ash in the air. In 1993, one eruption killed nine people. This included six
scientists who were working at the volcano.
Number 2
W: Mauna Loa is a giant volcano that many people live on. It is one of the Hawaiian islands. The top of Mauna
Loa is only 4 kilometers above the sea. But the volcano continues below the water for another 8 kilometers! The
volcano is very active but the eruptions are not very explosive. So, the lava moves down the sides of the volcano,
making shallow slopes.
[Track 09-12]
M: Sharkcano!
More than 80% of all volcanoes are under the sea. One famous underwater volcano is Kavachi (Ka-Va-Chee).
Kavachi is a large volcano by the Solomon Islands. It’s not famous for being big. It’s not famous for having scary
eruptions. It’s famous for the things that live in the volcano.
In 2015, scientists went to study Kavachi. They used small robots to take pictures and video of the volcano. They
thought they would see nothing but ash, lava, and rock below. Instead, they found a surprise. Kavachi is home to
sharks! These sharks live in the hot and ash filled water without problem.
Kavachi erupts often. It is a danger to all living things around it. So, finding sharks by the volcano made many
scientists wonder: Why would the sharks live there? How do the sharks know when the volcano is about to erupt?
What do you think?

W: Rainforests get lots of rain. That’s why they’re called rainforests. They get about 250 cm per year. A rainforest’s
climate is the way it is because it’s by the equator—the area of earth between the North and South Pole.
Number 2.
M: Vietnam has the biggest cave in the world. The Son Doong Cave is over 5.5 miles long! It’s so big that it can
fit a 40-story building inside its walls.
Number 3.
W: 40 percent of the earth’s population lives near a coast. There are many reasons for this. Rivers that flow into
the ocean have fresh water. People can easily fish for food. But, changes in the environment are starting to
damage coastlines around the world. This is dangerous for many towns and cities.
Number 4.
M: Angel Falls is the largest waterfall in the world. It’s 979 meters tall—that’s three times the size of the Eiffel
Tower. The waterfall can be found in Canaima National Park in Venezuela.

W: There are volcanoes, and there are supervolcanoes. A supervolcano is what it sounds like: a really big volcano
that can do a lot of damage if it erupts. There are more than forty of these around the world. One of the biggest
and most famous is the Yellowstone Supervolcano in Wyoming, USA. This volcano has erupted a few times before,
but not recently. In fact, the last time was about 640,000 years ago.
What will happen if the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts again? Well, scientists say the ash from the volcano
could cover a huge area—almost the entire United States. The ash could destroy buildings and kill many people.
Plants and animals would also be in danger, and many could become extinct.
However, scientists say we shouldn’t worry too much about Yellowstone. They don’t think it’s going to erupt soon,
and actually, it might never erupt again. Let’s hope they’re right!
