a The water in Venice is destroying the city.
b Venice has too many visitors and this is a problem for the city.
c The local people want the Council to stop visitors coming to the city.
A popular problem!
Venice is famous for being a city with many canals, colourful carnivals, amazing plazas and historic
buildings. However, the city is a victim of its own beauty. Venice has a population of only 55,000, but
the city is visited by twenty million tourists every year. This tourism creates a lot of jobs for the local
population, but it also causes many problems. Many of the 59,000 tourists a day enjoy riding on boats
along the canals, but the large cruise ships can damage the historic buildings. The narrow streets can
be very crowded and it is difficult for local people to move around the city.
The local council are trying to find a solution which keeps both the tourists and local residents happy.
They are also trying to encourage tourists to visit other beautiful sites around Venice.

6 Read the text and answer the questions.
Is screen time good?
Many people like to access information and social media easily. But is it bad for us to spend so much
time in front of a screen?
On the one hand, computers, tablets and smartphones are useful tools for communicating with
friends and family. Young people can use the internet for its educational content, learn important
research skills and also see a variety of cultures from around the world.
On the other hand, technology can make young people less physically active. And there are also
concerns that the light that comes from digital devices can cause health problems. For example,
looking at a screen at night can make it more difficult to sleep. The internet is still quite new, so we do
not really know what the long-term effects that using it are going to have on our health.
The internet has also introduced us to new words for problems that people did not have in the past.
Your parents did not have cyberbullying, for example. There have always been scams, but problems
such as phishing for personal information and hacking into banks are also quite new.
In the end, the solution is about balance. Technology can help us to develop new skills and it can
open up the world. We will almost certainly have more technology in the future, too. We need to learn
how to use it carefully for the good of everyone. However, physical activity and regular sleep patterns
are essential too. Balance both and we can all live in a healthy, well-educated world.
1. According to the text, people like technology because they can .......................
a) play games. b) find information. c) take pictures.
2. According to the text, technology does not improve .......................
a) communication. b) education. c) physical exercise.
3. People are worried that the light from tablets can cause difficulty in .......................
a) sleeping. b) reading. c) turning off the screen.
4. In the past, there were .......................
a) never any scams. b) no words for some of todays’ problems.
c) different words for the same problems.

Cyberbullying
The word cyberbullying refers to bullying on the internet or on a smartphone. Most teenagers have
experienced some kind of cyberbullying, and it affects both girls and boys. One problem is getting
offensive messages on social media, in texts or emails. Another problem is when bullies post
personal information or pictures of someone. Sometimes it can be anonymous, and that means the
victims don’t know who is attacking them, which can be very stressful.
Teenagers need to know that they can talk to an adult about what is happening. It’s important to
report bullies on websites and the police can also help. Any kind of bullying can have serious

Tourist or Traveller?
Some people say that a tourist visits the sights, but a traveller talks to the local people. This is
because different people want different experiences when they go on holiday.
Some tourists prefer food which is familiar to them and so they often look for famous fast food
restaurants, or food from their own country. They want to see the famous museums, monuments and
beaches, and they will usually speak in their own language when they go abroad.
On the other hand, travellers will usually learn a few phrases in the local language, and they want to
eat in typical cafés and restaurants. Sometimes they will look for places to visit that are less famous
because they enjoy finding something a little different.
Today both travellers and tourists are learning about their impact on the environment. It seems that
whatever type of traveller you are, it’s always good to respect the places you visit so that other people

Mary Shelley
In 2018, it was two hundred years since the publication of the Gothic novel Frankenstein, or the
Modern Prometheus. It was written by Mary Shelley, who was born in London in 1797. She was the
daughter of the famous writer, Mary Wollstonecraft, and the philosopher, William Godwin. Mary didn’t
go to school, but she educated herself using her father’s library at home.
In 1812, Mary met the poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and in 1816, they married each other in France.
