The sun did not come out for three years. The air was always dark. Thick clouds hung low and covered the sky. It snowed all the time. The animals suffered during this long winter. The lack of food was alarming enough, but the lack of heat made it all absolutely unbearable. They were frightened. The animals called for a grand council. All the beasts, birds, and fishes of all sizes and shapes were invited. All the animals quickly agreed that the most important thing to do was to find out what had become of the heat, for without heat their suffering would never end. Yes, the heat must be found! And it must be brought back again. They decided several quick and brave animals would go on a search mission to the upper world. That's where they suspected the heat had been taken. These are the animals chosen for the mission: Lynx, Fox, Wolf, Wolverine, Mouse, Pike (a freshwater fish), and Dogfish (a kind of small shark--dogfish is a funny name for a shark, isn't it?). After much traveling far and wide through the air, the group finally found the hidden doorway that opened to the upper world. Excited, they all climbed upward to the world above.

In 1854 a war started between Britain, France and Turkey, and Russia. It was called the Crimean war. The hospitals for soldiers were terrible. There were no beds or toilets, there was blood everywhere, the soldiers were hungry and their clothes were dirty. Many people in Britain were very angry about all this. One of them was a woman called Florence Nightingale, she was a good speaker of French, German and Italian. Florence wanted to be a nurse but his parents did not like the idea. She did not listen to them. When Florence Nightingale arrived at Scutari, there were no beds or toilets. The soldiers’ clothes were dirty and they were hungry because there wasn’t much food. Six months later, conditions in the Scutari hospital were different the hospital were clean and the soldiers were in comfortable beds. Soon Florence Nightingale was famous all over the world. She was called the lady with the lamp. Why..

What… Why… Charles Chaplin was very famous film star. He was from a poor home in South of London, and he was already a comedy actor in the theatre when he was a teenager. He went to USA in 1910, and in 1914 he was in his first Hollywood film. In those days, the film industry was very young. Chaplin’s early comedies were in black and white and they were ‘silent’- there were no words or music. Chaplin’s favorite character was ‘the tramp’ –a little man with big trousers, an old black hat and a sad face. This was Chaplin’s character in his famous comedy films- for Example The Kid (1920), The Gold rush(1924), and City Lights(1931).Modern times (1936)was his first ‘talking film’ and in The Great Dictator he was the director and music writer as well as the star. Chaplin decided to leave the USA in 1952 and his new home was in Switzerland. He died there on Christmas Day at the age of 88. Answer the following questions based on the information given in the text: What was Charles Chaplin’s nationality? Where was he born?When was he first in America? Where was he in 1914? Why were early films called silent films? When was he born? When was the Kid first in the cinemas? What was Chaplin’s first film with words? Where was Chaplin when he died? The joke A very good actor was playing in a comedy where he acted the role of an aristocrat. The aristocrat was in the Bastille (France) prison where he had to spend a lot of time. In the second act a guard always arrived and gave the aristocratic prisoner a letter. The prisoner took the letter and read it aloud. The play had already been repeated hundreds of times and the aristocrat knew the letter by heart but he always insisted that the letter should be written down completely. One night the guard decided to play a joke on the famous actor, just to find out if he knew the letter by heart, after so many performances. When the guard entered the prisoner's dark cell, the prisoner was on a small bed. He gave the prisoner the letter, but this time there was nothing on the sheet: it was completely blank. The guard looked at the aristocrat: he was so happy about his joke that he couldn't hide his smile. He wanted to see if the prisoner could recite the letter by heart. The prisoner looked at the letter for some second, then he said :"There is too little light. I can't see very well. Can you please read the letter for me?" And he gave the letter to the guard. The guard, who obviously remembered the letter, said: "You are right. The light is really very dim. I must go get my glasses.” He left the cell and went to fetch the usual copy of the letter. Then he came back with the letter and the pair of glasses and started reading the letter to the prisoner. The prisoner was of course very much amused. Comprehension: Answer the following questions: 1 Where was the play set? 2.Where was the prisoner when the guard brought him the letter? 3 What solution did the guard find? 4How did the good actor feel in the end? 5Where is the Bastille? 6.Who did act the role of an aristocrat? 7.What was the aristocrat reaction when he looked nothing on the sheet? 8.What kind of movie was it?

I asked for health that, I might do great things; I was given sickness, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy; I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power to have the praise of others; I was given weakness, to feel the need for God. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life; I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I receive nothing I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayer was answered; I am, among all people, most richly blessed.

Regular and Irregular Verbs To make the past tense or past participle form of most verbs (regular verbs) we simply add “ed” at the end. Examples using the verb “walk”: Past Tense: I walked through the maze. (Write more examples in your notebook) Irregular verbs are not that simple. We sometimes need a dictionary to help us write the different forms of irregular verbs. Examples using the verb “see”: Past Tense: We saw the secret maps. Look up the word “see” in the dictionary. Notice that the different forms of the word are given. Look up “walk.” Notice that the dictionary doesn’t bother to give the different forms of regular verbs. Irregular verbs The past forms of the irregular forms DO NOT end in “-ed”. They have different forms and we need to learn them gradually. Here is a list to begin with Example:1) We went to the movies last weekend 2) They were hungry and ate the whole chicken.

God's spirit moved over the waters. And then God said, "Let there be light", and there was light for the day. He called the darkness night. And that was the first day. On the 2nd day God separated the waters below from the waters above and He called the space in between, heaven. On the third day God created the dry land and the seas. He said, "Let the land have plants and fruit trees", and it was so. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the heavens to separate day and night and the seasons and so God created the sun, the moon and the stars. And God saw that it was good. That was the 4th day. On the 5th day God filled the seas and the skies with living creatures. He saw that it was good. Then God created living creatures of all kinds on the land; cattle and creeping things and wild animals. And it was good. And then God said, "Let us make man in Our image, and he will rule over all living creatures." And so God created Man and Woman. God blessed them and told them to care for the living creatures. He told them He had given all of them the food they needed to live. He saw all that He had made and it was very good. That was the 6th day. On the 7th day God rested. He blessed the 7th day and made it holy because it was the day that God rested from all His work which He had created.

It was about a war between England and China in the 19th century. In the war, Robin Moore, a British soldier, almost died; a Chinese soldier, Li Fung, saved his life. Li Fung`s daughter, Weili, was a nurse. She looked after Robin and she liked him a lot. Robin really liked Weili too. But there was one problem- language. Weili did not speak English and Robin did not speak Chinese. Robin really wanted to understand Weili, so he wanted to learn chinese. He stayed at Li Fung`s house for five years. He listened to Weili a lot, he asked Weili a lot of questions. After three years Robin’s Chinese was excellent. They were both very happy.

The parents did not teacher her nice manners and never punished her for her faults. The daughter would often laugh in her mother's face when she asked her daughter to help cook the dinner or to wash the plates. As the girl grewolder she would just spend her days dancing and playing with her friends. She was very selfish, and her parents might as well have had no daughter at all. However, one morning her mother looked so tired that even the selfish girl could not help but notice. She asked if there was anything she was could do to do so that her mother might rest a little. The good woman looked so surprised and grateful for this offer that the girl felt rather ashamed. At that moment, the daughter would have scrubbed down the whole house if she had been requested. But her mother only asked her to take the fishing-net out to the bank of the river and mend some holes in it because her father intended to go fishing that night. When he came home, her father was grateful for his new, unselfish daughter.

This is a Hindu festival that is also known as the Festival of Lights. It is celebrated during the Tamil month of Aipasi, between October and November. Hindus believe it is the day when the good forces overcome the evil ones. During this time the Hindu homes are lit with tiny lights to show victory over darkness. These lights are in clay pots filled with coconut oil. On the eve of Deepavali, prayers are held in homes and temples. On the morning of Deepavali, Hindu families pray at home by burning incense and having special baths before going to the traditional Indian foods. Title Main idea Depavali .

This is because only 10% of the populations are Christians and the majority of people are Muslim. However, in the last 10 years businesses have taken the opportunity to promote the event to sell more goods and to hold lots of end- of- year sales. Christmas Day is the only public holiday in Malaysia. When Tina was little her mother would cook a western-style meal of chicken casserole, baked or mashed potatoes, pumpkin, carrots and peas. In recent years her family has also had roast turkey or beef. She likes this food as on most other days she has Asian meals and rice. Her dad always prepares fruit cocktail or shandy to drink at the Christmas meal and they often ask close friends to come to share the food. They also ask people who do not have the opportunity to have a special meal at this time eg, a disabled child or a lonely, elderly person. Title Main idea Christmas en Malaysia Support ideas Examples Easter in England Easter is celebrated by giving and receiving things like Easter Eggs. Older people may exchange things like money, clothes, chocolate or go on holidays together. Some people make Easter bonnets or baskets,which have things like daffodils in them or mini eggs. Small children sometimes go to a local community centre to enter an Easter bonnet competition to see whose bonnet is the best and the winner gets an Easter egg. The Easter bunny is part of the Easter tradition in England and the shops are filled with thousands which people buy to give to each other. The Easter bunny ‘hides’ the eggs in the houses and children on Easter Sunday search to find these treats. Hot –cross buns are popular foods on Good Friday. These are sweet fruit buns with crosses on top. Some people still make these with yeast, but shops now sell dozens in the week before Easter.

Read: Christmas in England Christmas is celebrated in England with people giving and receiving presents to family and friends. Many people share a Christmas meal of roast turkey, roast potatoes and a large choice of vegetables followed by Christmas Pudding and Mince pies. They may also organize parties where beer, wine and sometimes champagne are served. Not many people go out at Christmas, unless they are going to families as on Christmas Day no shops or amusements are open. Christmas celebrations are not just on 25th December as people celebrate on Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas which is called Boxing Day. Santa Claus is part of the Christmas festivities and small children believe he brings their presents down the chimney on Christmas Eve. Nobody ever gets to see him in their homes, though, because he only comes when everybody is sound asleep. Children believe that he lives in the North Pole and it is a tradition to leave a glass of sherry for Santa and a carrot for his reindeers. There is lots of excitement on Christmas morning as children get up VERY early to open their presents. In the weeks before Christmas, Santa also sits in Santa’s grotto in shopping malls where lots of different Christmas carols are played and sung. Children can go and get a small present from him 8.
