Mount Everest:
The Highest Garbage Dump in the World

Most people know that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. However, there
is another fact that many people don’t know: it has become one of the dirtiest mountains
in the world.
Mount Everest is one of the toughest and most exciting mountains to climb on Earth. It is
not the coldest or the windiest place on Earth, but it comes close! These challenges make
it one of the most attractive mountains for serious climbers. Since 1952, over 3500 climbers
have reached the top. Unfortunately, most of them have left equipment and trash on the
mountain.
In fact, trash is now one of the biggest threats to the environment on Mount Everest. Local
organizations have brought tons of trash down from the mountain. One of the most
interesting projects handed over more than a ton of tin cans, glass bottles, and old climbing
tools to artists in Nepal. The artists used the trash to create works of art. Then, they sold
the art to raise money for local charities.1 The least expensive work of art cost $17, and the
most expensive one cost $2400.

1. Why the Mount Everest have become one of the dirtiest mountains in the world?

Because climbers have left equipment and garbage on the mountain.

________________________________________________________________________
2. Is the Mount Everest the coldest and the windiest place in the world?

No, it is not the coldest and windiest place in the world but it would be done.
________________________________________________________________________

3. Can anybody climb the Everest?

Yes, serious climbers.

________________________________________________________________________
4. What is the problem on Mount Everest?

The problem is that it has become the dirtiest mountain in the world.
________________________________________________________________________

37
 5. What is the most interesting project?
Deliver more than a ton of cans, glass bottles and old climbing tools to artists in Nepal.
Artists used garbage to create works of art. Then they sold the art to raise money for local

City life vs Country life
• Which do you prefer, country life or city life? Post which one you prefer in the
corresponding column and also mention why (to support your idea write two
advantages of the one you chose). Also, you should use the words from the
vocabulary section. Finally, post a voice memo saying which one you do not prefer
and why (mention two reasons). Don’t forget to use Comparative and Superlative
sentences. Look at the following examples.
• The teacher will provide you the link of the collaborative wall in padlet.

I prefer life in the country because living

I prefer the city life because living in a
city is more convenient than living in
the country life. Also, city live is the
best to have fun.
VOICE MEMO
On the other hand, I don’t prefer the
country life since the country is the
most boring place to live in. In addition,
education in the country is worse than
in the city.
in the country is more peaceful than
living in the city. Also, living in the
country is the best place to rest.
voice memo
On the other hand, I don't prefer city life
because the city is the most polluted
place. Furthermore, vehicle traffic in the
city is worse than in the countryside.

Self-reflection:
1. Can I describe a place?
2. Do I really know how to form superlative sentences?
3. Can I compare and contrast lifestyles using comparative and superlative adjectives?

GRAMMAR – relative pronouns; who, that, which, whose, where and when

→ A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun.

The clause modifies, or describes, the noun.
→ The relative pronouns are who, that, which, whose, where and when
→ Relative pronouns are placed directly after the noun or pronoun they modify.

→ For Example:
▪ The driver who use the mobile phone while driving is careless.
▪ The book, which is online, has all the information you need.
▪ This is the iPad that everyone is talking about

→ One of the most common mistakes in writing is to use the wrong relative
pronoun, particularly when it comes to mixing up "who" and "that". "Who" is
always used to set up a relative clause that describes a person, while "that" is
used to describe an object or another non-human being.
→ For example:
▪ I like the girl who plays videogames.
▪ This is agenda that you can connect to your phone.

WORK WITH THE READING

What should I be doing in my 20s?

According to some advisers, the way you spend your 20s deeply affects your later years.
Here are the best tips on how to spend your 20s so you don't live in regret later.
1. Learn to accept and love yourself first.

Show some self-compassion. Scientists say it can make

you more successful because you're learning from your
missteps. You shouldn’t be blaming yourself for
them.

You should be treating yourself as you would treat a

friend or a colleague who has failed. You might say to
yourself: "This is really hard right now," or, "I'm sorry
you are struggling."

2. Take more risks.

59
 "Don't talk yourself out of doing things you want to do.
You shouldn’t be waiting for opportunities to appear.
You can go for them. Don’t let fear win. If you want to
vacation in Europe, do it. If you want to talk to that hot
girl/guy at the bar, do it. If you want to start your own
business, do it (and do the research first). Getting to your
30s and having a string of regrets is going to haunt you."

3. Don't compare yourself to others.

"In the social media age, it is tempting to beat yourself

up if your friends are getting married, having kids, and
living a life of luxury. We each live our own lives. The
only thing you're going to do is hurt yourself. You
shouldn’t be worried about what others achieved,
but you should be considering yourself as someone
who has potential to succeed in life at your own
pace. Don’t forget that from the outside, people can
seem a lot happier and less troubled than they really
are.

CELEBRATING
THE NEW YEAR
The start of the New Year on January 1st is a popular time for celebrating all across the UK.
Celebrations can start early on New Year’s Eve, December 31st, as people meet up with friends
and family members.

Everyone hopes to start the New Year with good intentions so they make some resolutions to
help them have a successful year. We asked young people around the UK about their plans are
for New Year’s Eve and about their New Year’s resolution.

My Plans
New Year, or Hogmanay, is more important than Xmas to some
people in Scotland.
I am invited to two Hogmanay parties and I am going to both! As
every year, we are going to sing together "Auld Lang Syne" at
midnight.
Regarding my resolutions, I am going to eat fewer sweets, be nicer
to my little brother. Also, I am going to improve my computer skills

76
 My plans
I am going to join my parents in a New Year’s Day swim this year.
It’s freezing cold in the water but it is a fun way to start the year.
Quite a lot of people meet on Brighton beach for this first swim of
the year. I hope it doesn’t snow. I am not going to be out partying the
night before because I don’t like all the noise and drinking!

Next year, I am going to do some voluntary work in my area, save

money and improve my tennis. Maybe be nicer to my girlfriend!!

My plans
I am going to the center of Newcastle with my cousins and friends
to celebrate the New Year. I love being in a crowd when the clocks
strike midnight. Everyone kisses each other, sings and drinks
champagne. We are going to get back home at four or five in the
morning.

Regarding my resolutions, I am going to lose weight, learn how to

play the guitar and talk less in class! I am also going to study hard
to get good grades for university.

____________________________
I have a dream that
one day this nation will be announcing its faith: "All men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves
will be sitting down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with
the heat of injustice and oppression, will be a place of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will be living one day in a nation
where nobody will judge them by the color of their skin but by the content of their
character.

I have a dream today!

This is our hope, and this is the faith.

With this faith, one day, we will create a stone of hope from the mountain of
despair. With this faith, we will be working together, struggling together, standing up
for freedom together.

We know that we will be free one day.
