However, Elif noticed that there was more and more pollution, like plastic bags, in the river. The 14-year-old g decided to look for a solution. At school, Elif learned that bioplastics are more environmentally friendly than normal plastics because they are made from starch. Starch is found in foods like potatoes and bananas. However, she wanted to use an organic material that isn't eaten. Then she learned that, in Thailand over 200 tonnes of banana skins are thrown away every day, and that’s when she got her idea! The teen inventor spent two years developing her idea. She did lots of research online and at the library and carried out 12 experiments at school and in her kitchen. Not all the experiments were successful, but Elif didn’t give up, and finally she produced a bioplastic from banana skins. At 16, she won the Science in Action Award and the Inspired Idea Award at the Google Science Fair. Her invention could help to make rivers, lakes and oceans clean again.

In Japan, people still tell the story of Altair and Vega, two very special stars. Once upon a time, there was a princess called Orihime. She made beautiful clothes for her father, the Sky King, while she sat on the bank of the Amanogawa River (the Milky Way). Orihime had always loved her work, but she wanted to find a husband, so her father introduced her to a farmer called Hikoboshi, Hikoboshi looked after cows on the other side of the river. ‘The princess and the farmer fell in love and got married. However, they hadn't been together long when Orihime stopped making clothes and Hikoboshi forgot about his cows. 1 Look at the title and the pictures. What do you think happens in the story? 2 Read the folk tale and check. 3 Are the sentences T (true) or F (false)? 1 allcultures have told the same stories about thestars, F 2.

During Tanabata, Japanese people say what they hope will happen in the future. 84 A WORLD OF CELEBRATION | UNIT 7, ‘The Sky King was furious. “You will never meet again, he told them, and he sent them to opposite sides of the river. But when he saw how heartbroken. his daughter had become, he changed his mind. ‘If you do your jobs well,’ he said, ‘you can meet once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th month’ However, the first time the couple tried to meet, they couldn't cross the river, ‘want to see him!" cried Orihime. Almost immediately, a flock of magpies came and, made a bridge with their wings. Now people say ifit rains on 7th July, the magpies can't come and Orihime and Hikoboshi have to wait another year. Every year, this story is celebrated in Japan as the ‘Tanabata ~ the Star Festival. There are parades, fireworks, lanterns and stalls with traditional food, and people write their wishes on tanzaku (pieces of colourful paper), remembering how Orihime’s wish had come true, 4, Match the words in bold with the definitions. 1 the land at the side of a river 2 agroup of birds 3 very angry 4 very, very sad 5, Discuss the questions. 1 Doyou think the king was fair to his daughter? 2.

Education is the most important thing for a happy, successful future, 96 BACK TO SCHOOL | UNIT 8 journeys to school. I have been researching this for my school project on education around the world. Here I give some examples of these journeys and suggest one way to change the situation. 2\ Children in many countries attend both primary and secondary school. However, in some countries, school is too expensive or there aren't enough places for everyone. In others, boys can go to school but girls can’t. Some children aren't allowed to go to school because their parents need their help at home. In many cases, school is free and all children can attend, but some students make dangerous journeys to get there. In Indonesia, for example, children from Batu Busuk village walk along a rope 9 metres above a river and then walk 11 kilometres through a forest to get to school, They have been doing this since a bridge was destroyed in a rainstorm two years ago. In Los Pinos, Colombia, children cross the Rio Negro on an 800-metre rope because walking to school the long way round takes four hours. In China, the children of Atuler village climb mountains to get to school. Children are allowed to make these risky journeys because education is important to parents and children everywhere. 40 Online education could be one answer to the problem. A teacher can give classes on screen, and students can hand in homework by email and take exams online. OF course, electricity, a computer and an internet connection are all necessary, but these things are cheaper to provide than roads and bridges. It is not a perfect solution, but if we spent money on ‘these things, then children in remote places would have a basic education, and dangerous Journeys to school would be a thing of the past.LANGUAGE IN ACTION can/can't RCLO a ued Pea LC hunk Oa ie 1 Complete the sentences with can or can’t.
