THE WORLD noodles and grilled meat. For dessert, you can have

Mexico is famous for its wonderful tacos served with
salsa made of green onions, cucumber and tomatoes.
In Germany and Denmark, you can have meat served
with bread and fried onions, and in France they serve
lovely pancakes called crêpes. At the seaside in many
countries, people eat chips, ice cream or seafood.

restaurant food. It’s much cheaper, and you know
it’s fresh because you watch the chef prepare and cook
it in front of you. It’s also more fun to eat – you can
use your hands and not worry about what the waiter
thinks of you! People often buy and eat food outside
at music festivals and at sports events like football
matches. There are also street food festivals in many
cities. People can try new food from around the world
at these festivals.

In the past, people didn’t need sports like
running to stay healthy because they
were very active. But these days, many of us
spend most of the day sitting down. This means
we need to get some exercise in our free time,
and running is a cheap and easy way to do it. It’s
more fun than doing boring exercises in a gym,
and all you need is a good pair of trainers and
some comfortable clothes. Also, it’s a sport that
C people can do at any age – for example Fauja
Singh finished a marathon at the age of 101!

2 To make running interesting, you can
enter a race. Fun runs are very popular.
These are often 5 km long and are great for
beginners. You can run with your friends
and maybe dress up. For fitter people,
there are half-marathons, marathons,
or even ultra-marathons. These can be
70–400 km long. One of the most famous
is the Marathon des Sables which takes six
days and goes through the Sahara desert.
3 Running is fun and scientists say it is

one of the best ways to keep fit. However,
make sure you don’t do it every day – it’s
important to have a rest between runs. Running
improves the health of almost every part of your
body, including your brain. It can make you feel TALKING POINTS
happier and healthier, and live longer. It also Do you go running? If not,

Lucky you! Edinburgh’s great. It isn’t the biggest city in Scotland, but it’s very
beautiful and has an amazing history. The best place to start is Edinburgh Castle.
This sits up on top of Castle Rock and from here you can see the whole city below
you. It gets very busy in the summer.
Next, walk down the Royal Mile, through Edinburgh’s 12th-century Old Town. Don’t
miss St Giles’ Cathedral and the Camera Obscura. This amazing museum is all about
how we see things, and has floating fish, funny mirrors and a 3D tunnel of stars. They
sell great postcards there.
At the bottom of the Royal Mile is the Queen’s Edinburgh home, the Palace of
Holyroodhouse. When the Queen isn’t there, you can visit the rooms and gardens.
Next to the Palace is the Scottish Parliament. Spanish architect Enric Miralles
designed it. Parts of it look like fishing boats on the beach. There are also roof
gardens and fountains. And you can visit it for free!
You should also go to Edinburgh’s New Town. This area isn’t very new actually – it’s
over 200 years old! The most famous street in Edinburgh, called Princes Street, is in
New Town. Here you find Edinburgh’s best shops and department stores.

LOCH NESS

Loch is the Scottish Gaelic word for ‘lake’. Loch Ness is in
the north of Scotland not far from Inverness. The loch is
230 m deep – it’s the second deepest loch in Scotland –
36 km long and nearly 3 km wide. There’s more water in
Loch Ness than all the water in all the lakes in England and
Wales. That’s a lot of water for something to hide in!

The story of the Loch Ness Monster, or ‘Nessie’,
started about 1,500 years ago. Then people called it
a giant water animal. In the 1930s, a new road beside
the loch brought more people to the area and more
people started to see more strange things. In fact,
over 1,000 people think they saw a strange animal in
the loch.

Friday Barnes, Girl Detective

Friday Barnes, Girl Detective is about 11-year-old Friday Barnes. Her
parents are always busy, so she spends her time reading. She reads lots
of detective stories. Then some thieves steal some jewellery and, guess
what, Friday is able to help her detective uncle catch them. When she
gets a reward of $50,000, she spends the money on going to a really
good boarding school. The head teacher doesn’t like Friday because she
is different from the other students. Friday is clever, too, and she solves
mysteries at the school with her friend Melanie.

Charlie Bucket lives in a small house with his family. They’re very poor. One day, Charlie

It’s a ticket to visit Willy Wonka’s famous Chocolate Factory. Charlie is very excited.
Grandpa Joe is excited, too, because he can go on the visit with Charlie. As there
are five golden tickets, four other children visit the factory as well. They all meet
Willy Wonka and go around the factory. Lots of strange things happen!

THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM

What’s it all about?
In a normal classroom, the teacher stands at the front of the room and gives a lesson and the students listen
and take notes. Then they go home and do their homework. In a flipped classroom, everything is the other
way around. Students study at home from a textbook or online videos, and then discuss the topic and do
‘homework’ exercises or projects in class. Lots of schools are trying it, but is it a good idea? We spoke to a
teacher and two students to find out more.

UNIT 20 ADVERBS OF MANNER
• We use adverbs of manner to say how we do something.
You have to speak quietly here.
My sister can play the piano beautifully.
• We make many adverbs of manner by adding -ly to the adjective (see Spelling below).
My little brother is noisy. He does everything noisily.
I’m very careful. I always do my homework carefully.
• There are some irregular adverbs.
good → well, fast → fast, hard → hard
Spelling: adverbs of manner
Most adverbs add -ly to the adjective. quick → quickly

For adjectives ending in -l, we double the l and add beautiful → beautifully
-y in the adverb form.
For adjectives ending in a consonant + -y, we easy → easily
remove the -y and add -ily.
