Hi, Im new to this forum so Im going to introduce
myself. Im 15 and I live on a farm in Pennsylvania,
USA. My life is a bit different from yours, I think. Im
Amish and I go to a school for Amish people. I
always wear traditional clothes. I never watch TV or
listen to music and I havent got a computer at
home. I love to chat with other people. Every
Saturday, I go shopping in the city and then I go to
a cyber cafe. I want to talk with people from all
over the world about their lives and culture.

Hi, everyone. Im a newbie too. I live on a farm in
Australia, 600 kilometers from the nearest town. Im
14 and never go to school because I live so far
away, but Ive got e- lessons. I am a Forum fan and
couldnt live without the Internet; it is my link with
the rest of the world. I love watching TV and
listening to music in the evenings. I always watch
soaps or movies and I also like reading. I hardly
ever meet friends or go to parties, but I love to chat
about music, school subjects and sports with
people from all over the world. Answer me!

a. Their favorite inventions.
b. Interesting and useful inventions.
c. Funny inventions.

Brian

I invented
Suction Tires to ride up walls
and ceilings because I wanted to take bike
riding to new heights.
In our science class, we learned that an octopus has eight
arms with a bunch of suction cups that can stick to almost
anything and then I got the idea to attach suction cups to my
bike tires to ride on walls. After a lot of different designs, I
managed to keep the suction cups attached to the tires with
glue and screws.
I made the final sketch and I posted my idea at
InventNow.org. I hope that, soon enough,
we can ride up walls!

I invented
Hide-N-Seek 4000 because I
needed a challenge. I always thought that a
robot with eyes could be really good at finding things,
so I designed a robot to play Hide-N-Seek.
My robot can use its arms to push back curtains and branches
of trees. It also needs to hide, so I added a switch that changes
it from a seeker to a hider.
I used a computer, an old camera and a filing cabinet to
design Hide-N- Seek 4000 and then I posted my
idea at InventNow.org.

In 1762 John Montagu, an English Earl, was too busy playing

cards to leave the table and have a formal meal. He asked
his servant to put some meat between two pieces of bread
and bring it to him. This snack was named after him and
these days it is the most popular lunchtime meal in Britain.

These soft sweets were originally made and eaten by the

Egyptians more than three thousand years ago. They made
them from the root of the plant which shares the same
name and grows by the banks of the river Nile.

In 1905 eleven-year-old Frank Epperson mixed up a fruit

drink in his back garden, in San Francisco, California. By
accident he left the drink outside overnight. When he
discovered it in the morning, the juice had frozen around the
mixing stick. Young Frank had invented something which
would make him a lot of money.
In 1897 William Morrison and John C. Wharton, from
Nashville, Tennessee, invented a way of heating and
spinning sugar in thin threads onto a stick so that it forms a
large ball of fine material. When you eat it, it melts in your
mouth. It is commonly found, along with toffee apples, at
fairs and carnivals.

In 1904, at the St. Louis Worlds Fair, an unlucky ice cream

vendor ran out of dishes to put his ice cream in. Ernest
Hamwi was in the next stall selling Syrian pastry and
offered to help. He rolled up some of the pastry so that the
vendor could put his ice cream inside. It was a great success
and ice creams have been sold in this way ever since.

In 1930 Ruth Wakefield was busy making her favorite

chocolate biscuits in Whitman, Massachusetts, when she
realized that she had run out of baking chocolate. She broke
some normal eating chocolate into the mixture instead.
Ruth noticed that when the biscuits came out of the oven,
the chocolate hadnt melted but was still in small bits. These
biscuits have sold very well ever since.

CBB Ones new entertainment phenomenon

The Voice UK is a vocal contest series featuring people with real talent and great voices. Only the very
best singers make it through to the televised auditions and get the chance to perform in front of four
celebrity coaches. Praised by viewers and critics alike, it has become one of the most successful new
television shows around the world.
The Coaches
The artists will be selected, mentored and trained by four of the best and most successful singers in the
music industry: Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny ODonoghe. The coaches only want to work
with the most talented artists.
The Blind Auditions
The shows format features three stages of contest: the Blind Auditions, the Battles and finally the
Live Shows.
During The Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on the voices they hear and nothing else. The coaches hear the artists perform but dont get to see them and, if a coach is
impressed by an artists voice, he/she pushes a button to select the artist and their chairs rotate so they
can see them. If more than one coach turns his/her chair, the power shifts to the artist, who may then
choose which coach they most want to work with throughout the contest.
The Battles
Once the coaches have chosen their teams, the Battle is on. Coaches will dedicate themselves to
developing their artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success in the music
industry. During the Battles the coaches will pit two of their own acts against each other to sing a
duet in front of a studio audience. Immediately after the vocal face-off, the coach must choose which
artist will advance in the contest.
The Live Shows
At the end of the Battles, only the strongest members of each coachs team remain and proceed to
the Live Shows. In this final phase of the contest, the top artists from each team will compete against
each other during live broadcasts. The television audience will vote to save one artist on each team,
leaving the coach to decide who to save and who goes home. Each coach will have his/her best artist
left to compete in the final. From the final four remaining artists, one will be named The Voice and will win the prize of a lifetime, a recording contract with a very famous studio.

The Lord of the Rings is the name of a (a)

in the 1950s by English author and professor J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973). They

The elaborate tale is centered on the Ring, a very small object that, (d)
___________, gives immense magical powers to whoever (e)

Frodo inherits the Ring but the Dark Lord Sauron who could be described as a mixture of ghost
and wizard, and is the main source of evil in Middle-earth wants to capture it. Because of its
destructive, corrupting powers, it is decided that the Ring should be destroyed by taking it to the (f)
of Mordor and throwing it into a (g)
called Mount Doom. Frodo and his
companions are frequently attacked by sinister beings such as Orcs and Ringwraiths on their way
to Mordor, while the story also contains spectacular battles between the free peoples of Middleof evil.

The best day

By Taylor Swift

Im five years old,

Its getting cold out,
Ive got my big coat on.
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you;
I run and run,
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides.
Look now, the sky is gold;
I hug your legs
And fall asleep on the way home.
nge in the Fall,
I dont know why all the trees cha
thing at all.
But I know youre not scared of any
is near or far away,
Dont know if Snow Whites house
you today.
But I know I had the best day with
Im 13 now,
And dont know how
My friends could be so mean;
I come home crying
And you hold me tight,
And grab the keys.
And we drive and drive
away;
Until we found a town far enough
p
sho
And we talk and window
Till I forgotten all their names.

BODY AND MIND

I dont know who Im gonna talk

to now at
school,
But I know Im laughing
On the car ride home with you;
Dont know how long its gonna tak
e to feel
okay,
But I know I had the best day with
you today.
I have an excellent father,
His strength is making me stronge
r,
God smiles on my little brother;
Inside and out,
Hes better than I am.
I grew up in a pretty house,
And I had space to run,
And I had the best days with you
.
There is a video I found
From back when I was three;
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And youre talking to me.
Its the age of princesses, and pira
te ships,
And the seven dwarves;
My Daddys smart
And youre the prettiest lady in the
whole wide
world.
Now I know why all the trees cha
nge in the fall;
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong,
And I love you for giving me you
r eyes,
Staying back, and watching me shi
ne.
And I didnt know if you knew,
So Im taking this chance to say
that I had the best day with you
today.

must report them to a teacher, a parent, or
even the police as soon as possible. They can
use any footage on cell phones as evidence of
the attacks.
