I usually teach English at a language school in the summer. I often can’t enjoy the summer because I am so busy. So next summer,
I’m not planning to work. Instead, I’m going to have a proper summer holiday. I’m going to buy a campervan and drive around
Ireland. I’m going to visit lots of beautiful beaches and learn to surf! I’m mostly going to travel alone, but I will visit friends. One
friend, Cathy, is a school teacher, so she has a long summer holiday, so hopefully, we will spend a week or two together. Another
Irish friend, Joe, has a new house there, so I’ll stay with him for a few days and help him paint the rooms.
Last year, I did a surfing instructor course, and I spent the summer teaching people to surf. It was great! I was in the sea and sun all
day, and every evening, my friends and I had a barbecue on the beach. The surf school asked me to return this summer, but I’m
not going to do that. Last autumn, I learned to scuba dive, and I’m going to do a diving instructor course soon. Then, I plan to teach
diving all summer to earn some money. I don’t want to stay in the UK. It’s too cold here! I want to fly to Greece or Egypt. I’ll go
there alone. I’m sure I will meet lots of cool people there!
Well, last month, my friend Alfie and I had a crazy idea. We decided to cycle from the south of England to the north of Scotland,
from Land’s End to John O’Groats. It’s an 874-mile trip! It takes ten to fourteen days. But I’m not a fast cyclist, and I want to enjoy
visiting different places, so we plan to ride for four weeks. We will visit historic cities like Bath and Edinburgh, cycle through the
pretty countryside and visit museums and castles on the way. Alfie wanted to camp, but I’d like a comfortable bed at the end of
each day, so we are going to stay in guest houses. I hope it doesn’t rain a lot, but I hope it’s not too hot either!

Stan Lee: The Marvel Legend
Stan Lee was born on December 28, 1922, in New York City, USA. His real name was Stanley Martin Lieber. He loved reading and
writing from a young age. As a teenager, Stan worked as an office assistant at Timely Comics, which would later become Marvel

In the 1960s, Stan Lee created many famous superheroes with artist Jack Kirby. Some of the most famous are Spider-Man, the X-
Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow, and the Fantastic Four. These characters are now beloved all over the world. Stan's
stories were special because his superheroes were not perfect. They had real-life problems, just like regular people.

meet and work together. For example, Spider-Man might team up with the Fantastic Four to fight a villain. The Marvel Universe
became a huge success.
Stan Lee became the face of Marvel Comics. He made many appearances at comic book conventions and on TV. Even in his later
years, Stan appeared in Marvel movies, delighting fans with his cameos. He passed away on November 12, 2018, but his work lives
on. The characters and stories he created are still loved by millions.
