The world is a wonderful place and it is full of all types of people. Some
have got fair hair and others have got dark hair. There are tall people and
there are short people. However, we have all got two eyes and ears, a mouth
and a nose. So, we are all different but in some ways we are all the same.
Jane
Sometimes, people in the same family are very alike. They have got the same
colour hair or eyes. This is because they have got some genes from their
grandparents and some genes from their parents. But, they are also different.
In fact, we are all unique and even identical twins are not exactly the same even
Hans though they are very alike. It really is amazing,

Sand Sculpting Festival
I’m here with my family at the Sand Sculpting Festival on Frankston Beach,
A Melbourne, Australia. We’re staying for the weekend. The festival lasts from
the end of December to the end of April and the theme of the sculptures
changes every year. This year the sculptures show creatures and scenes from
the age of the dinosaurs. There are several dozen huge dinosaurs made of
3,500 tons of sand. You might think you are in Jurassic Park! You can watch
the sculptors at work, too. It’s fascinating. I fancy having a go myself. The
exhibition opens every day at 10 am, so tomorrow I’m making my own
dinosaur at the Sand Workshop – with a little professional help!

C Winter Carnival
Here in Saranac Lake, New York it’s -5oC and people are celebrating their
Winter Carnival. The festival takes place at the beginning of February each
year and lasts 10 days. The local people build an enormous ice palace as a
home for Sara the Snowy Owl, the town mascot. The festival begins with
the crowning of the Winter Carnival King and Queen. Lots of fun events
follow, including races and treasure hunts. Right now we are watching the
parade. There are dozens of colourful floats carrying people in fancy
costumes. The whole town comes alive. Tonight we’re watching the
fireworks display over the Ice Palace. What a ‘cool’ celebration!

Listen and read to find out.
The Chinese New Year starts with the first new moon, usually in
late January or early February. The celebrations last until the full
moon – 15 days later! The Chinese celebrate New Year with
family gatherings, wonderful foods, firecrackers, lion dancers,
street parades and lanterns. There are also a lot of superstitions
surrounding the celebrations.
ñ Red is a bright, happy colour that keeps away bad spirits. So,
to bring good luck for the following year, people decorate
their homes with red banners and everyone wears red
1 clothes. Family and friends also give children little red
envelopes with gifts of money.
ñ Children have a great time during the New Year celebrations.
2 They can eat lots of sweets, which the Chinese believe makes
the following year ‘sweet’. Best of all, parents don’t tell them
off, even when they are behaving badly, because nobody
wants them to start crying. An old superstition says that a
child that cries at New Year cries every day of the coming year.
ñ There are other things people try to avoid during the New
Year celebrations. Before the New Year, the Chinese clean
their houses to clear out any bad luck from the previous year.
People finish sweeping and cleaning before New Year’s Day
because they believe you brush away your good luck if you
sweep the house on that day.
ñ Another thing the Chinese avoid doing during the
celebrations is using scissors or knives. It’s very unlucky to cut
3
your hair or even to chop vegetables, and no one wants to
risk their good fortune for the coming year.
On New Year’s Eve the Chinese visit relatives and have a large
meal together. Typically, they eat eight or nine dishes because
these are lucky numbers. They often eat long noodles that
symbolise long life.
