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

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.

I’ve just found some interesting information about the education system in New Zealand. I think
we could use it in our project about education in different countries. I’ve listened to a podcast in which

This is called early childhood education (ECE). Parents don’t have to send their kids to ECE classes, but almost

learning. Parents are OK with the idea that their kids might 3 their childhood

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
that …

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.

I’ll be making delicious baked tofu. It’s a super-

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.

someone who’s cooking tofu for the very first

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

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

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.

Hi Bess,
You’ve asked for information about all the different teas that I drink, but I’m not really an expert. I listen to the

Hi everyone. Welcome back to The Road to Health

Yes, you’ve heard that right. Red tea, actually. Drinking
a cup of the best quality red tea on a regular basis will
keep you in good health. Its powerful anti-inflammatory
qualities will make you strong and energetic. Red tea will
not only facilitate your digestion by eliminating bacteria
causing stomach problems, but it will also improve your
mood and appearance thanks to its anti-aging, slimming
and pain-killing properties. It can even build strong
bones as it contains more minerals than any other herbal
tea. If you want to …

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

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.

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?

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.
