The Vikings
Hi Luis,
On Sunday we were in York. York is in the north of England. It was very cold, but it was
very interesting. There was a lot to do there.
There is a museum called the Jorvik Viking Centre and it was amazing. In the museum
there was lots of information about the Vikings. The Vikings were from modern-day
Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Their civilisation was important from AD 800 to 1050.
For the Vikings, meat and fish were the most important food. I wasn’t interested in
history, but now I am.
There was also a Christmas market. There were lots of interesting things to buy and
there were cafés with food and drink – it was lovely!

My favourite gadget is my food processor. I always cook for my family and I have three
children and my husband. Also, I work in the day and when I get home I’m tired and
want to rest. The food processor is quick and it helps me make nice food.
Describing a picture 1 Read the description. Tick (✔) the correct picture.

This is a picture from a children’s book – it was one
of my favourite books when I was a child. There are
three children in the picture and they are making
a bear out of snow. The children are wearing coats
and hats. There are two trees in the picture. I like
it because it looks cold, but the children are having
fun.

A world of languages
The five most popular languages in the world
are Chinese, English, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic.
1.2 billion people speak Chinese but it isn’t an easy
language to learn. English is the official language in
53 countries. People also use it a lot in business.
There are about 6,500 spoken languages in the
world and about 40% are in danger of disappearing.
There are 199 where only about ten people can
speak the language! Are these languages going to
disappear in the next decade? Probably.
Wintu-Nomlaki, Yahgan and Kaixna officially only
have one speaker left, but there is some hope for
two of them. Wintu-Nomlaki is from northern California and some young people are
going to learn it because it is good for telling traditional stories. The same is happening
to Yahgan, a language from Chile. Unfortunately, for Kaixna it is probably too late as
the only speaker is 78 years old.
