The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Years Day. The national holiday is on July 4th. There are many parades with bands. People cook and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of concerts and fireworks. Americans also have another national holiday, Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November. On this day, people usually eat some of the foods that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc. In France, the national holiday is on July 14th. There are big parades with soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many events like concerts or operas are free on that day. Mexican people celebrate their independence on September 16th. School children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music everywhere. People eat traditional food called chiles en nogada on this day.

he Guaran were the aborigines that used to live in the Paraguayan forest before the Spanish people arrived. They were nomads and they used to move around the territory looking for new lands to farm.
One day, when a tribe was about to move to a new location, one of the oldest men decided to stay because he felt tired and weak for the journey. His daughter Yari stayed with him because she didnt want to leave him alone. Soon, they had very little food left. At that moment, the spirit Tup descended to earth. He was dressed like a nomadic hunter, and asked Yari for food and shelter for the night. Very generously, Yari offered him hospitality and the last of their food. Her charity surprised the spirit and he offered her a reward. Yari asked
for something to make her father stronger and healthier. Tup grew a green plant with white flowers with his magic powers. He taught Yari and her father to prepare tea using the plants leaves. When Yaris father drank the tea, he felt much better. Tup told them to share the plant with the rest of the tribe. Now, this beverage brings comfort, health, and endurance to the Guaran.

On this day, people usually eat some of the foods that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc. In France, the national holiday is on July 14th. There are big parades with soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many events like concerts or operas are free on that day. Mexican people celebrate their independence on September 16th. School children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music everywhere.

by Kelly Hardrock
Since the beginning of the XX century, English has become the main language of international communication. Although Mandarin Chinese and Spanish both have more native speakers, English is certainly the worlds most popular language in the world. English is today an open language. It has incorporated words from Latin, Greek, and many modern languages. For example, many words derive from Hindi, such as pajamas and bungalow. In Latin American and European countries, English is a very important foreign language and people usually learn it at school. The importance of English has grown since the World Wars of the last century. The cinema, music, and television have helped take American culture into many countries that listen to American music and watch American films, sit-coms, and cartoons.
There are, of course, various small differences between the English that people use in different parts of the world. There are also numerous different accents, none of which is better than the others. The most common differences in English are between American and British English, but in Australia, Scotland, and Ireland there are also differences in vocabulary. For a long time, people around the world have considered English as the worlds most important language. Has this process finished? Only time will answer this question.

Florence Nightingale was born on May 12th, 1820 in Florence, Italy. Her family was rich and her father taught her at home. In 1844, she had the idea to work in hospitals. She wanted to be a nurse, but her parents did not want her to become one. She confronted them firmly and she worked as a nurse at Salisbury Royal Infirmary. She became an expert on hygiene quickly. In 1853, she found her first paid job. She worked until October, 1854 and then went to help nurse the British soldiers of the war in Crimea.

I _____________________________________ In ancient times, people invented new machines, materials, and ways of doing things, but no one knows what the first invention was. Prehistoric inventors found ways to make and keep fires burning. They invented ways to grow plants for food and learned how to tame animals. Other great prehistoric inventions were the wheel, pottery, and ways to build houses. II _____________________________________ One great invention was the printing press. A German named Johannes Gutenberg invented a press to print books in the 1400s. Books became much more common and helped other inventors make new things. After the invention of the steam engine around 1700, inventors made many new machines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all kinds of factory machines. Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the late 1800s. The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, the phonograph, and other things that use electricity, in the late 1800s. III _____________________________________ No one knows the names of prehistoric inventors. Until the 1900s, most inventors worked alone. Today, most inventions come from scientists and engineers who work in teams. Most of them work for universities, government agencies, or big companies.

firefighter
his week were looking at what it takes to be a firefighter and were talking to Charlie, who has been a firefighter for nearly six years. Im lucky because I really love my job. I enjoy working in a team and I get along with my co-workers. I also like the contact I have with the public; its great to know that what I do makes a difference. I have to work on the weekend a lot, because this is when the majority of incidents happen. Occasionally the work can be frustrating because we get hoax phone calls from people who say they have a problem, but when we arrive, theres nothing there. We cant ignore any emergency calls and we have to go to investigate, but we discover that they have just made up a story for fun. At other times the job can be very dangerous. Sometimes people are injured because they couldnt get away from the fire quickly enough. The hardest part of my job is when I see people who are hurt. Our work is often very physical, so we have to keep ourselves in good shape. I love my job and Ill carry on doing it for as long as I can.

Bicycle
Written by Rebecca Bond
A long time ago, nobody had a bicycle. Nobody rode a bicycle to school or to work, or to the park just for fun. Nobody even thought about bicycles. There were no bicycles! Then one day someone had an idea and the bicycle was born! Leonardo da Vinci, a very famous artist, inventor and scientist, thought a bicycle seemed like a good invention. He made the first drawing of a bicycle. That was about 500 years ago. Unfortunately, he died before his idea became a real machine, but it was still a good idea, and other people decided to work on it. About 300 years ago (200 years after Leonardo did his drawing), somebody finally made the first bicycle. It wasnt like the bicycles we have today. It had wooden wheels and it didnt have any pedals. Instead of pedaling, the rider sat on the seat and rolled along by pushing his feet on the ground. It wasnt perfect, but it was a good start.
Little by little, more inventors made the bicycle better. They added pedals. They made wheels out of metal and rubber. They discovered better ways to steer and to brake. About 100 years ago, they started making bicycles that looked very much like the bicycles we ride today. They were very good bicycles. Suddenly, everyone wanted a bicycle! Bicycles were a quick and easy way to get around and, most of all, they were fun. All the bicycle-building stores were very busy. They had a lot of business! Today, people all around the world ride bicycles. They ride them on dirt roads in small towns and on crowded streets in big cities. In some cities, there are so many bicycle riders that it seems like everyone is riding a bicycle! Well done, Leonardo!
