YERBA MATE AND THE GUARANI PEOPLE
he Guaran were the aborigines that lived in the Paraguayan forest before the Spanish people arrived. They were nomads and they moved around the territory looking for new lands to farm. One day, when a tribe was about to move to a new location, one of the oldest men decided to stay because he felt tired and weak for the journey. His daughter Yari stayed with him because she didnt want to leave him alone. Soon they had very little to eat. At that moment, the spirit Tup descended to earth. Dressed like a nomadic hunter, Tup asked Yari for food and shelter for the night. Extremely generous, Yari offered him hospitality and the last of her food. Her charity surprised the spirit and he gave her a reward. Yari asked for
something to make her father stronger and healthier. Tup used his magic powers to grow a green plant with white flowers. He taught Yari and her father to prepare tea using the plants leaves. When Yaris father drank the tea he felt much better. Tup told them to share the plant with the rest of the tribe. Now, this beverage brings comfort, health and endurance to Guaran people.

Yes! The women move their hands softly while moving their hips. Of course, its a dance for couples, and the problem is I havent got a partner yet!

ATTITUDES reflect and appreciate the value of traditional celebrations as part of our culture?
Countries around the world have national holidays. They are, of course, on different days but the ways people celebrate are sometimes the same. The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Years Day. The national holiday is on 4th July. There are many parades with bands. People cook and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of concerts and fireworks. Americans also have another national holiday, Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November. On this day people usually eat some of the foods that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc. In France, the national holiday is on 14th July. There are big parades with soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many events like concerts or operas are free on that day. Mexican people celebrate their independence on 16th September. School children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music everywhere. People eat traditional food called chiles en nogada on this day.

IS ENGLISH AN IS ENGLISH AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE? INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?

Nowadays, more than 300,000,000 people speak English. People speak English as their first or native language, in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia or New Zealand. In other countries like Pakistan, India, Guyana or South Africa, English is not the mother tongue but people speak it as a second language. In Canada they have two official languages: English and French.
Since the beginning of the XX century, English has become the main language of international communication. Although Mandarin Chinese and Spanish both have more native speakers, English is certainly the world's most popular language in the World. English is today an 'open' language. It has incorporated words from Latin, Greek and many modern languages. For example, many words derive from Hindi, such as 'pajamas' and 'bungalow'. In Latin American and European countries, English is a very important foreign language and people usually learn it at school. English importance has grown since the World Wars of the last century. The cinema, music and television have helped to take American culture into many countries that listen to American music and watch American films, sit-coms and cartoons.
There are, of course, various small differences between the English that people use in different parts of the world. There are also numerous different accents, none of which is 'better' than the others. The most common differences in English are between American and British English, but in Australia, Scotland and Ireland there are also differences in vocabulary. For a long time, people around the world have considered English as the world's most important language. Has this process finished? Only time will answer this question

READING
Florence Nightingale was born on May 12th, 1820 in Florence, Italy. Her family was rich and her father taught her at home. In 1844, she had the idea to work in hospitals. She wanted to be a nurse but her parents did not want her to become one. She disobeyed her parents and she worked as a nurse at Salisbury Royal Infirmary and soon became an expert on hygiene. In 1853, she found her first 'paid' job. She worked until October, 1854 and then went to help nurse the British soldiers of the war in Crimea. The soldiers thought that Florence Nightingale was a great lady so when Florence returned to Britain she was a heroine. People wrote songs about her and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert gave her an award. In 1859 Florence wrote a small book called 'Notes on Nursing', with a special section about

taking care of babies. The book sold millions of copies all over the world. In 1860, she opened the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St Thomas Hospital in London where Florence almost invented modern nursing as we know it today. In 1861, Florence became ill. She could not walk anymore and for the next 30 years she continued working from her home at 35 South Street, in London. By 1896, she was so frail that she couldn't leave her bedroom. On August 13, 1910, she fell asleep and did not wake again. She was buried in the family grave at East Wellow. Six sergeants of the British Army carried her coffin. Her only memorial is a line on the family tombstone "F. N. Born 1820. Died 1910. She lived for ninety years and three months.

B _____________________________________ One great invention was the printing press. A German named Johannes Gutenberg invented a press to print books in the 1400s. Books became much more common and helped other inventors make new things. After the invention of the steam engine around 1700, inventors made many new machines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all kinds of factory machines. Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the late 1800s. The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, the phonograph, and other things that use electricity in the late 1800s.

I enjoy working in a team and I get along with my co-workers. I also like the contact I have with the public; its great to know that what I do makes a difference. I have to work on the weekend a lot, because this is when the majority of incidents happen. Occasionally the work can be frustrating because we get hoax phone calls from people who say they have a problem, but when we arrive, theres nothing there. We cant ignore any emergency call and we have to go to investigate, but we discover that they have just made up a story for fun. At other times the job can be dangerous. Sometimes people times the job can be very very dangerous. Sometimes people are injured because they couldnt get away from the fire quickly enough. The hardest part of my job is when I see people who are hurt. Our work is often very physical, so we have to keep ourselves in good shape.

Two thin men were sitting on the cemetery wall, but Count Cadaver didnt stop and talk to them. Some rats were eating the trash around a trash can, but Count Cadaver didnt notice them. The night was cold and the Count wanted a glass of blood. He hurried through the town to the Cavern Lounge. A tall woman was standing near the door. She smiled at Count Cadaver, but he didnt speak to her. He pushed open the door and went to his favorite place. Some old men were playing dominoes. A young man and his girlfriend were kissing in the corner. Three of the Counts friends were playing cards. Count Cadaver didnt say Hello to anyone. He just went over to the counter.

Bicycle
Written by Rebecca Bond
The Invention of the
A long time ago nobody had a bicycle. Nobody rode a bicycle to school or to work, or to the park just for fun. Nobody even thought about bicycles. There were no bicycles! Then one day someone had an idea and the bicycle was born! Leonardo da Vinci, a very famous artist, inventor and scientist, thought a bicycle seemed like a good invention. He made the first drawing of a bicycle. That was about 500 years ago. Unfortunately, he died before his idea became a real machine, but it was still a good idea, and other people decided to work on it. About 300 years ago (200 years after Leonardo did his drawing), somebody finally made the first bicycle. It wasnt like the bicycles we have today. It had wooden wheels and it didnt have any pedals. Instead of pedaling, the rider sat on the seat and rolled along by pushing his feet on the ground. It wasnt perfect, but it was a good start.
Little by little, more inventors made the bicycle better. They added pedals. They made wheels out of metal and rubber. They discovered better ways to steer and to brake. About 100 years ago, they started making bicycles that looked very much like the bicycles we ride today. They were very good bicycles. Suddenly, everyone wanted a bicycle! Bicycles were a quick and easy way to get around and, most of all, they were fun. All the bicycle-building stores were very busy. They had a lot of business! Today people all around the world ride bicycles. They ride them on dirt roads in small towns and on crowded streets in big cities. In some cities there are so many bicycle riders that it seems like everyone is riding a bicycle! Well done, Leonardo!
