                                    Hurricanes

It was supposed to hit the coast of Florida. But hurricane Isaac changed the course midway It directed its fury towards the three Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

1. Hurricanes also known as cyclones in some parts of the world, are super powerful storms. They gain strength from winds that help them blow at speeds ranging from 75 to 225 miles per hour, resulting in massive destruction when they hit land. When a hurricane first begins, the rising winds blow in towards the centre of the storm. While the cane is attempting to go straight, the Earth’s movement causes it to turn to the right, forcing it to go counterclockwise.
2. For hurricanes to occur, the ocean temperatures must be at least 80Fahrenheit and the atmosphere around it, full of moisture. Also, the winds must be blowing in the same speed to force the air upward from the surface of the ocean. The warm water creates low-pressure air, causing it to rises, it collects moisture-forming thunderclouds. The warm air produces more heat and rises faster, causing colder air to rush in. This increases the intensity of the storm. This water is the most deadly part of the hurricane, because it dumps into any landmass it hits, causing floods and devastation.
3. Hurricanes are given names, so that scientists can track the storms from start to finish. In the fifties, hurricanes were named after the phonic alphabet, like Able, Baker etc. From 1953 to 1979, the US Weather Bureau decided to shift to only women’s names. Since then, they have chosen between male and female names and now have six different name lists that the change each year. If a hurricane causes real major devastation, like Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 the name is never used again.
4. In the past, scientist tried various inventions to weaken these storms. But they gave up in the 1960’s after realizing that the weather patterns were too large to affect. Instead, they changed their focus to understanding how hurricanes form and move, so that they could predict the time and intensity with greater accuracy. But like other acts of nature, this too remains an inexact science that is neither completely predictable nor controllable.
5. The hurricane categories range from 1 to 5. It is a way to measure their intensity, with 5 being the worst. A typical season sees about six hurricanes, the peak of the season is not until the end of September. The good news is that Isaac is the fourth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic season – the first three did not land on the US soil. So maybe the USA will escape the rest too, which would make this the best hurricane season Americans have had in many year.

6. PARENTS` PARTICIPATION IN THE CHILD`S LIFE

                                       Education Otherwise

1. Thought education is compulsory in the UK children between the ages of five and sixteen, school is not. Many families prefer to educate their children otherwise than at school, and it is their right under UK law to do so. Home educating families do not have to follow the National Curriculum and there is no single «right» way to educate a child at home.
2. Education Otherwise ( EO ) was formed by a small group of parents in 1977 and has evolved into a large self-help organization which offers support and information to its members. They take their name from the Education Act, which states that parents are responsible for their children`s education, «either by regular attendance at school or otherwise».
3. Some families make a carefully considered decision to home educate long before their child reaches «school age». There may be philosophical, religious or various other reasons for their choice, and ultimately they feel  that in some way they can offer a more suitable education for their children at home. It is also a natural choice for parents who have enjoyed participating in their child`s early learning and see no reason to give up this responsibility when the child reaches the age of five.
4. Other parents send their child into the school system, but later find that school does not work for their child. School does not suit everyone. Sometimes children may find it hard to fit in; some children have special needs; some children face bullying and may become very anxious and distressed. Children may find that school does not suit their particular way of learning, so parents who become unhappy with the education which is provided in schools also decide to home educate.
5. EO has an extensive network of members that includes those families, groups and individuals who are practicing home education as an alternative to school, those who are considering the possibility of home education. This work has been carried out by a nation-wide team of dedicated, experienced members who volunteer their services free to support other members and promote home education. Membership of Education Otherwise gives one the opportunity to meet other home educating members, as well as offering a range of information and ideas,

Sports

Interviewer: So, Mr Gray, thank you for your coming to talk to us today. I’d like to start off with the question which is very interesting to me.

Gray: OK, fine.

I: Is there any difference between running and jogging?

G: In reality, there is no difference between running and jogging. Jogging is a term sometimes used for running slowly. Whether you are considering jogging or considering running, all that you need is a little enthusiasm to get started.

 I: What should we begin with?

G: Be realistic. Don’t run marathon in a three month’s time if you’ve never done it before. Listen to your body. Your level of fitness will determine your starting level. I recommend to start with walking and running for 10 minutes in total. Running and walking every other day gradually reduce the walking time and increase the running time until you can run for the full 10 minutes.

I: So, 10 minutes a day is enough?

G: I say: listen to your body. If you feel good, I recommend to increase running time by a minute or two every third session, until you can manage 30 minutes three times a week.

I: Is it a sport for all people?

 G: Running is a available for everyone. If you are healthy you can start to run. But you have a history of diabetes, angina, asthma, epilepsy, high blood pressure, chest rain, then consult your doctor first. Never ran when suffering from a viral illness or fever.

I: Do you think it’s better to start it in a running club under of instructor’s control?

G: There are running clubs in most towns and many villages. Most welcome new runners of any standard and all age groups. If you are a competitive and sociable person, a running club is very good for you. But this sport can be personal too. Some people like being on their own.

 I: What is the best time for running?

G: You can run any time of the day anywhere you happen to be. When running at night it’s safer to ran in groups. At night it’s important to wear bright colors and reflective clothing.

I: So, clothes are important, aren’t they?

G: The most important part of a running wardrobe is a good pair of running shoes. These are available from any good running shop. Clothing should be bright preferably with reflective stripes for running in the dark.

I: Thank you, Dan. We are looking forward to listening to you in our next programme about swimming.

Travelling

Dear sir \ madam,

I’m writing to complain about the Fun Ways Travel holiday my family and I went on last month.

Your newspaper advertisement recommended the holiday as being «Seven fun and sun filled days on a Mediterranean island», so decided it would be suitable for my family. I realize now that this was a big mistake.

Firstly, when we arrived nobody was there to meet us. There should have been transport from the airport to the hotel but there wasn’t. We were able to get a taxi, but only after waiting for an hour in the hot sun!

Secondly, when we arrived at the hotel, we found that only one room was reserved. All the other hotels on the island were full so four of us had to stay in one room.

Thirdly, the hotel wasn’t a modern building only five minutes walk from sea. It was a small, old place situated in a mountain at least thirty minutes drive to the nearest beach.

And lastly, when we eventually met the tour guide, she was extremely rude to us. I don’t think she should have been so impolite. She didn’t help us at all.

You can imagine how angry I feel about spending a lot of money for a holiday which ought to have been better organized.

Yours sincerely,

David Johnston

1. David wrote this letter to criticize a holiday.
2. A friend suggested that the Fun Ways holiday was great.
3. There should have been two rooms at the hotel for a David and his family.
4. David and his family found another hotel to stay in.
