Subject: Re: Becoming a cheerleader

Hi Anna,
I’m glad to hear that your friend Ola is considering becoming a cheerleader. This is my fifth year in the
team. Although cheerleading may seem easy, it’s a demanding activity. We practise four times a week, and
every season we have to learn forty new songs by heart. At the moment, there are 15 of us in the team. The
majority of the girls are 14 to 18 years old, but some are older too. Not only are the girls genuinely passionate
about cheerleading, but they’re also extremely hard-working. Cheerleading is definitely my thing!
Take care,
Katie

01
So, welcome inside the Sagrada Família – one of
Barcelona’s most famous buildings. Antoni Gaudí, the
architect, believed that anything created by human
beings came from nature and the Sagrada Família takes
much of its inspiration from this. You can’t help but
be impressed by the tall columns in the centre of the
building. They’re made from a variety of materials, which
is why they are different colours. The columns are also
various thicknesses and as you can see, further up, near
the roof there are branches attached to them, which
adds to the forest effect that Gaudí wanted to create.
Colour was very important to Gaudí and it is used in
much of his architecture. In the Sagrada Família, it can
be seen throughout the building – on the stone, in the
tiles, and in the glass. Gaudí said that sunlight was the
best painter and the colours of the windows are carefully
chosen to take advantage of this, with the cool greens
and blues on the eastern side of the building, and the
warm yellows and oranges on the western side.

Welcome Pack
We’re pleased to welcome you to Wordsworth’s
Hall student accommodation on Highfield campus!

Students should arrive on campus any time after


9 a.m. on Monday 30th September for registration,
which takes place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The car park nearest the accommodation can


be used on arrival to make it easier to transfer
bags. However, students who wish to park during
term time must use the designated student car
park, which you reach by turning left just before
Wordsworth’s Hall and following the road around.
On the first day, pay for parking at the barrier,
then take your receipt to the registration office
for a full refund. You’ll also find a bank next to the
registration office if you need to withdraw money
when you arrive.

The Students’ Union has a restaurant and there


are kiosks around the campus selling food and
hot drinks, such as the Garden Café, which is
strictly vegetarian, and the Evergreen Shack,
which has healthy sandwiches and snacks.

We understand that you may want advice in your


first few days. There are staff available who can
assist you at the help desk.

Hi Mia,

I hope you’re looking forward to starting uni! I just wanted to let you know what to do in the first
few days. I thought you were in Joyce’s Hall, but actually you’re in the same hall as me so your
parents need to park in car park 1 when they drop you off. They need
money for the barrier, but they can get that back from the 2 if they show
their receipt. You can have lunch at the Student’s Union, but as your parents don’t eat meat, they’d
probably like the 3 best. Lots of students like the Fast Food Hut opposite
4
. It’s really popular.
See you on Monday. Tell your parents not to get to the campus before 5 . If
I’m not there when you arrive and you 6 , just go to the help desk, which is
marked with a star on the map.

Early Childhood Education


Although it is not compulsory, early childhood
education has been developing rapidly and more
and more children are participating in various
activities offered by ECE. It is estimated that most
children under the age of five attend classes for
about 20 hours a week. Parents, though initially
a little sceptical about the idea, have grown to
appreciate the opportunity their children have to
develop their skills and abilities. They understand
the experience will be useful when their children
start regular school education. ECE services are
supervised by the Ministry of Education, which
means only certified ECE teachers are involved in
the system.

People often ask me if our education system is different
from those in other countries. Generally, it seems pretty
standard. We have primary and secondary schools, as
well as higher and vocational education. But what sets
us apart from most modern systems is how we define
early childhood education (ECE). We actually start
teaching our children from the day they are born and
prepare them for school entry age. You might think
parents would hate to deprive their kids of childhood,
but in fact, 96.8% of children attend ECE. One other thing

Subject: Re: Joe’s Supermarket

Hi Emilia,
Yes, you remember correctly! I worked at Joe’s Supermarket as a customer assistant last year. My main
responsibility was to look after customers, so I did lots of things. For example, I helped customers
find items in the shop and I provided information about our products. Sometimes my duties involved
displaying or rearranging products on the shelves or working on the checkout. To be honest, it was a
demanding job. It required a lot of patience. I always had to smile and be eager to help customers even
when I was exhausted.
I hope that helps! Check out this website for reliable reviews of different employers.

A GOOD PLACE TO WORK
I worked there for two years when I was at university. Joe’s
Supermarket has always had one of the best hourly rates
on the market and they’re quite flexible when it comes to
arranging your shifts (really helpful during exams!). My boss
was very understanding and supported us. However, I’ve
heard some rumours about other managers. A few of my
colleagues complained that they had some communication
issues with their bosses. Overall, I think it’s a good place to
work, especially if it’s going to be your first part-time job.

Baked tofu INGREDIENTS


1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
250g tofu

Preparation time: 10 minutes


Mix all the ingredients except the tofu in a bowl.
Cut the tofu into pieces that are roughly equal in size. This guarantees that each piece bakes well.
Add the tofu to the bowl and stir until the mixture covers all the pieces. Leave it in the fridge for two
hours or overnight.
Bake the tofu at 200°C for 30 minutes or until it’s golden brown.

Hey! Here’s the recipe for my delicious tofu.


I also watched them make it on a cookery
show last week.

My internet’s slow. Can you tell me


what I need?

Tofu, obviously. It’s best to buy the

Host OK, let’s get back to the tofu. What are you going
to cook for us today?
Chef 
I’ll be making delicious baked tofu. It’s a super-
easy recipe and really quick to make. Tofu is such
a versatile ingredient. You can eat it on its own,
like in this recipe, or you can add it to salads,
soups, noodles, anything really.
Host 
Sounds great. What advice would you give
someone who’s cooking tofu for the very first
time?
Chef Well, for this recipe, you need to buy a firm or
extra firm variety, like this one here.
Host 
Hmm, yeah. I always thought tofu was soft.
Chef 
You can get all sorts: soft, medium, regular, firm
and extra firm. The soft one won’t work in this
dish. The most important thing before cooking
is removing the extra water by wrapping tofu
around a few layers of paper towels and pressing
it lightly. Finally, …

FOOD TRENDS
Human lifespan largely depends on diet. More and more trendsetter
foodies, dieticians and chefs are putting emphasis on including nutrients
and reducing harmful preservatives in our food. Restaurateurs are serving
seafood, plant-based proteins and fermented mushrooms that taste
like chicken, duck, turkey, or other types of meat. Perhaps the fast food
industry could also reconsider its menus to offer customers the most
nutritious meals that are healthy and low in calories. Hopefully, it won’t
be long before we see things like fat–burning spices or smoothies that are
known from dietary clinics being served everywhere. Luckily, it has been
estimated that at least 50% of plastic containers will soon be replaced by

LOST LUGGAGE?
DON’T PANIC!
According to our latest statistics, 79% of lost bags are delayed
and only 2% can’t be recovered. This means there’s a chance your
luggage is already on its way to you, so stay calm. Obviously, start
by heading to the baggage claim office to report it. You’ll need to
present your luggage ticket and describe your bag.
If you have any pictures of your bags, that can help too.
You’ll be asked to leave your contact information so that the airline
can reach you. However, while talking to an airline representative,
find out how you can check the updates on your luggage. Maybe
there’s a web tracker or a phone number you can call to see the
progress that has been made.

Hey, Tomek, I talked to my dad about
your situation and also checked it
online.

And?

The airline will surely locate your


luggage soon. 1
80% of lost luggage
arrives late and isn’t actually lost. First,
go to a 2
and inform them that your
suitcase is missing. Show them your
luggage ticket and say what your bag

.
It’s good if you have 4

I don’t think I have any!

That’s OK. Find out if you can get your


money back when you buy things you
need, such as cosmetics or 5
. Ask how
much they’ll be able to give you back
and make sure you keep the 6

Ok, I’ll do that.

Hudson Hi, Dad! I need your help. My friend Tomek
has just landed in Paris, but his suitcase is lost.
What should he do?
Dad Tell Tomek to report it. If he’s in Paris on a trip,
he’ll probably need some basic toiletries and
clothes. He should find out whether the airline
will compensate him if he purchases these
things. There’s probably a limit to how much
he’s allowed to spend, so he needs to inquire
about it, too.

Dad Remind Tomek to keep the receipts and only

Otherwise, the airline might not refund him

Hi Joe,
It’s really great to hear you’re doing a project about young artists and that you want to focus on
someone from Poland. I would suggest Iwona Golor. I’ve found some information about her. She
mostly paints portraits and 1 . She was born in 2
in Tarnowskie Góry. Her paintings are shown in galleries and museums in
Warsaw and in her 3 . She created a project which consisted of
4
of famous artists, scientists and businessmen. These paintings
were first shown at an exhibition in 2018 and then sold at a 5 for
35,000 zł. The money was used to support children in their 6
education
and development.
I hope this helps!

The Ankerwycke Yew is one of the most famous trees in
Britain. It has needles, not leaves, and they remain green
throughout the whole year. The Ankerwycke Yew is over
nine metres wide and might be even 2,500 years old. The
tree has a rich history. Some people say that it was under
this tree that King Henry VIII met his future wife, Anne
Boleyn. It’s also believed that this tree provided shadow
to King John when, in 1215, he was signing the Magna
Carta, a document which …

Subject: Earth Day

Hi Clara,
I’ve been thinking about what we could do for Earth Day this year. I actually attended a speech about
light pollution yesterday. I didn’t know that some species active at 1
are at risk of disappearing. This is all because of the 2 of our cities to
artificial light. So, I think we should register our school for the ‘Starry Night Campaign’. All we need to do
is make sure all lights are off for no 3 ten hours a day.
There’s also the ‘Plant a Tree Day’, but you need to 4 some money to get
a tree. Not everyone can do that.
But, we could all go and clean the beach. It’s 5 a week, so we could
have different classes go each time.
Let me know what you think.

I’m here today to tell you about a big problem that we’re
having in overpopulated urban areas, like this one. Tell
me, have you heard birds twittering recently? If you
answered ‘no’, then the reason might be that a shocking
number of birds has disappeared from our city as a result
of light pollution. Together with the issues of global
warming and waste disposal, exposing our cities to
artificial light poses another serious threat to migratory
birds, species most active from dusk to dawn and … city
dwellers. If you care about the ecosystem and your own
habitat, why not join our Starry Night campaign and
promote it further in your schools? Please let us know …

Welcome to this week’s episode of What Do You Know
About the UK? Today, we’re looking at the UK’s system of
government. Most of our listeners are probably aware
that the Queen is the head of state in the UK, but did
you know that Queen Elizabeth II has ruled the country
longer than any other monarch in British history? The
United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy too. It
means decisions are made by the Prime Minister and his
cabinet, which constitute the government. They sit on
the left benches in Parliament. Of the two ‘houses’ which
make it, the House of Lords and the House of Commons,
the latter has more power. Citizens vote for their MPs by
visiting polling stations and placing an X on the ballot
paper next to the name of their candidate. Did you know
that General Elections usually take place on a Thursday?

To: Daniel
Subject: Re: Helping the community

Hi Daniel,
It’s great that you and your sister would like to help our community. I’ve got some information about a couple of
projects that you might be interested in.
The first one is making lunches for students at the local 1 . I’ve read that
children who come to school hungry have problems understanding things, 2
and behaving properly, so it’s really important that they eat during the day. It’s a great project and both you and
your sister could get involved.
The second project is helping 3 people re-enter the workforce. This might be
something for you as they need volunteers to teach computer skills and you’re good at that. You just need to be
able to devote no less than 4 .
Neither of the projects have any age limits, but if your sister wanted to help out at the primary school, then she’d
need to come 5 because she isn’t twelve yet.
Let me know what you decide.
