THE WORLD TODAY
21st March

Print your own home

Building a house is often a very long and expensive job. But this might change in the
next few years. The reason? 3D printing.

1 (…)

A
merican engineer Chuck Hull introduced
3D printing in 1986. Now we can
build many different things using 3D
technology, including bridges and buildings.
2 (…)
It’s quick: in Russia they built one house in
just 24 hours. This means it’s a very good
way to build houses to help people in an
emergency situation.
It’s more environmentally friendly: you can
make 3D houses from recycled materials.
It’s cheap: Chinese company Winsun says 3D
houses use 60% fewer materials and 70%
less time than traditional buildings.
It’s strong: 3D houses are better in a strong
wind than many normal houses.
3 (…)
In the Netherlands, the architects at Van
Wijnen are working on what they say are
the first 3D printed houses that people will
actually be able to live in.
The houses will have unusual shapes. The
first house will be on one floor: it won’t have
any stairs. The other houses will be bigger,
with more floors and several bedrooms. If
everything goes to plan, people will move
into the houses next year. Many people think
this will completely change the way we build
houses.
4 (…)
In the future, people will be able to design
their own personalised homes much more
cheaply. And some organisations, like charity
New Story, think 3D printing might help with
housing problems in the developing world.
But 3D technology could also be important
in space. The European Space Agency is
working on a 3D-printed space station and
NASA are planning to use 3D technology to
build on Mars.

- for shorter showers!

We use lots of water in our homes. We use it to do things like wash clothes and
have showers. Now, if you use the SHOWER TIMER, you’ll save water every day!
What it does
The Shower Timer controls the time that you spend in the shower. It makes it easy for you to take
a shorter shower, and so to save water.

How it works
You choose the time that you want to spend in the shower, for example two, three or five minutes. After
that time, the water slowly turns off. An alarm rings to tell you that it’s time to end your shower. Then the
water stops.

Why use the Shower Timer?

• easy to use

Meet Jenk
Jenk Oz is a tech entrepreneur. He’s met a lot
of celebrities, including Adele. He’s appeared
in documentaries and music videos, and he’s
acted in a play in a London theatre.
The amazing thing is, he’s still a teenager!

Jenk’s company, a digital platform called iCoolKid,

is a guide to all things cool to see and do. It’s
designed for eight- to 15-year-olds, and focuses on
pop culture, tech and events. It has stories on
everything from baking a cake with a 3D printer
to doing a bungee jump on skis. You can even
sing karaoke there. Jenk describes it as a place for
young people to hang out and never get bored.

‘It’s a place where young

people can hang out and
never get bored.’

The idea for the site came to Jenk when he

was eight. Every Monday morning, his teacher
asked about their weekend. He realised that he
always did different things from his classmates.
They sometimes saw a football or rugby match,
but he went to musicals or other different events.
His friends started to ask, ‘Can I come with you?’ Jenk’s own hobbies are a big part of his
Jenk’s mother decided to send them an email every research. In his free time, he records music and

the email as a school project, and the website grew musical instruments well. He loves extreme
from there. sports; he’s been go-karting and sky-diving. He’s
a big fan of fashion too.

Jenk hasn’t written all the stories on his site.

He has a team who help him, but he decides
what’s cool. And he’s got big plans for the future.
iCoolKid has between 1,000 and 2,000 hits a
day, and he wants to increase that to a million.
He also plans to go global and write articles for
people around the world.

A NEW WAY
TO COLLECT
C ollecting has been a popular hobby for many
years and people collect everything from comics
and coins to pencils and postcards. But now some
people are collecting in a different way with a virtual
collection. We find out why.

A MUSEUM ANYONE CAN VISIT

The British Museum is one of London’s most popular
attractions and nearly six million people visit it every
year. But what if you can’t get to London? No problem:
with the Museum of the World project, the British
Museum has worked with Google to create an amazing
interactive experience. You can choose a continent or a
moment in history and go back to see everything from
Ancient Egyptian shoes to an Aztec knife. They have
objects from 2 million BC right up to the present day.
It’s free and it doesn’t matter where you live: this is a
museum for everyone.

COLLECTING THINGS ON
YOUR COMPUTER
In 2017, gaming fans quickly went crazy for a new type
of game: CryptoKitties. In this game, people make
virtual cats. They decide on the body, colouring and
characteristics they want and then buy and sell them
online. CryptoKitties has been a huge hit. Since 2017,
players have spent the equivalent of around $30 million.
One CryptoKitty sold for $140,000!

COLLECTING THINGS THAT YOU

MUSTN’T TAKE WITH YOU
In the early part of the 20th century, when people
collected butterflies, they used to catch them, kill them
and then put them in a special box. Today, that sounds
like a very cruel hobby. But that doesn’t mean you
can’t collect butterflies. Doug Taron has had a butterfly
collection since he was seven, but now he collects them
virtually. He still finds butterflies in their habitat and
keeps information about them; but now he collects
photographs, not butterflies.

Jack To: Ollie Friday

Hi Ollie,
Thanks for a really great time last weekend. (Please say thank you to your parents again too.)
The laser tag on Saturday afternoon was awesome and I really enjoyed the meal at your
uncle’s pizzeria in the evening. That was definitely the best I’ve ever had!
By the way, have you seen my watch anywhere? I think I left it in the bedroom. Could you
have a look for it? If it isn’t there, maybe I lost it playing laser tag. It’s blue, it’s got a round
face with white numbers on it and a metal strap. I’ve had it since I was a kid, so I don’t want
to lose it – it’s really special to me. Fingers crossed!
If you find it, don’t worry about sending it to me. You could bring it when you come here next
month.
Anyway, let me know.
Cheers! See you soon!

Do girls have to do
more jobs at home?
Sahra is ten years old. Every morning, she wakes up early and bakes bread for
her family’s breakfast before she goes to school. Her 14-year-old sister Najma
spends five hours a week washing the family’s clothes.

Sahra and Najma live in Somalia, but they’re typical of many girls around the world.
According to a report by UNICEF*, girls around the world between the ages of five
and 14 spend 40% more time helping at home than their brothers. In total, they do
550 million hours of housework a day – that’s 160 million more hours than boys!

‘Girls spend 160 million more hours

doing housework every day than boys.’
Girls aged between five and nine spend an average of four hours a week on
housework, while older girls spend about nine hours. In some countries, these
numbers are even higher. In Somalia, for example, a girl between the ages of ten
and 14 sometimes has to spend 26 hours a week helping at home.
The girls mainly help with cooking and cleaning. They also go shopping and
look after their younger brothers and sisters. In some countries, they also do
heavy and dangerous jobs such as collecting water and wood for making fires.

As a result, the report says, girls often don’t have the same opportunities in life
as boys. While their brothers are playing football outside, they have to sweep the
floors. They don’t have time to play, spend time with friends, or to study.

The report focuses on developing countries, but there is a similar tendency in other
parts of the world. A study by the University of Maryland in the USA found that boys
don’t have to do as much housework as their sisters. On average, they spend about
half an hour each day helping at home, compared to 45 minutes for girls.

The situation is improving; boys do more jobs around the home now than they did
in the past. But parents should make sure that children share housework equally.
After all, doing housework can teach both boys and girls about responsibility, and
this can help them at school and later at work.

Should students help look after their school?

Young people spend many hours at school, but not many of them
think about looking after the school building. In some countries,
students have to clean the school. Is this a good idea??

People want their homes to be nice, comfortable places, so they keep

them clean and tidy. If we look after our schools, we will have a good
place to study and learn. Also, if young people know they are going
to clean their school, it will teach them to be responsible and tidy up
after themselves.

On the other hand, teenagers have other, more important things

to do. We should spend our school day working and studying, not
cleaning. We will have lots of time to clean when we are older!

In conclusion, it’s important that schools offer a good environment

for studying. In my opinion, students should help to keep the school
tidy, but I don’t think they should actually have to clean the school.

A rubbish house in Bengaluru, India.
W
hat’s your house built of? G. V.
Dasarathi from Bengaluru, India,
calls his house Kachra Mane which
means ‘Rubbish House’, because he built
his house from rubbish. He thinks that the
4Rs; reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink,
are very important – so that’s what he
did. Around 80% of his house comes from
recycled materials.

treasure,’ is an American expression
facts which means that while one person might
think something is waste, another might
think the same thing is very useful and
important.
1 Look at the photos of a house in
Bengaluru, India. What do you think is
unusual about the house?
Subskill: Reading quickly

How did he do it?
He didn’t build a
brand new house.
He took an old house
and renovated it –
he made lots of
changes to make it his home. He then used
the wood from large boxes to make the
stairs, kitchen cupboards and bookshelves.
The glass for windows was reused, as were
basins, sinks and showers. He bought them
from people who destroy old houses.
As for household appliances, like the
washing machine, he bought those in
second-hand markets. Now that he lives
in the house, he uses the sun to make
electricity and he collects rain water to use
in his home.
In building his house, Dasarathi saved both
time and money. It took him only seven
months and it cost much less than a normal
house. He says that you should never pay
more than 20% of the price of the same
thing new.
3 Read the article again. Are the
statements T (true) or F (false)? Correct the
false ones.
1 G.V. Dasarathi built his house on top of rubbish.
F He built his house from rubbish.
2 There are too many new materials in Dasarathi’s
house.
3 Dasarathi cut down several trees to build his
kitchen.
4 Someone in the market sold Dasarathi the things
for his bathroom.
5 Dasarathi saves water by reusing rain water.
6 It’s as expensive to build a recycled house as it is
to build a normal house.
4 Redesign your own bedroom using
recycled materials. Draw a plan.

Have you ever wanted to drive a fast sports car? If you’re not old
enough to get a driving licence, then this experience allows people
as young as 11 to achieve their dream. When you arrive at the

you’ll get into your car, turn on the engine and off you go. You’ll have
about 10 minutes on the track.

You’ll need to be fit and over 10 if you want to enjoy an experience

they ask you to solve some problems in the escape room. Will you

7 Reading
An online article
Help! I’ve left my phone on the plane!
You’ve been on a plane for hours, so when it lands, you rush to get off. Ten minutes later you realise that
you’ve left your phone there. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Thousands of passengers leave things every year.
1 What are the most common things people leave?
Tablets and smartphones have been at the top of the list
for years. People often put them in the seat pocket in
front of them and leave them there when they disembark.
Soft neck pillows often end up on the floor. Glasses,
scarves, valuable jewellery and musical instruments are
other common items. Some people have even left
their passport on the plane, which is incredibly
stressful.
1 Before you read the article, guess the
answers to the questions.
1 If you leave something on the plane, what should
you do?
2 What unusual things do people leave?
3 What are the most common things people leave?
4 What happens if nobody collects the left object?
2 14Read and listen to the article. Check
your ideas in exercise 1.
3 Write the questions in exercise 1 in the
correct place in the text.
4 Read the article again and answer the
questions in your own words.
1 What do we learn about tablets and phones?
They’re the most common objects that
people leave on planes.
2 What happened to the small child on an
American airline?
3 Do airlines or airports ever contact the person
who has left the object?
4 Why don’t airlines ever donate mobile devices to
charity?
5 After you get off a plane, why are the first 30
minutes so important?
56
fun Mobile phones are the most common
objects that people leave on London’s public
facts transport – they leave over 32,000 a year, but
only about a half of them go back to their
owners.
2 ?
Staff at London City Airport have found false teeth, a
glass eye, a prosthetic leg and a bag of diamonds. On an
American airline, a little girl left her pink plastic rabbit
with some coins in it, but luckily they found the family.
3 ?
Airlines and airports will try to find the owner and will
keep objects for up to three months. They’ll destroy
laptops, tablets and phones because they usually have
important information, but they’ll often sell everything
else to raise money for charity or donate it directly.
4 ?
The first 30 minutes are important as it usually takes
this time to clean the plane and for the next passengers
to board. Try to go back to the gate. If you have passed
through passport control, then use Twitter to send a
direct message to the airline. Give as much information
as possible and if you have a photo, even better!
Subskill: Understanding unfamiliar
words
If you see a word you don’t know in the text, try
to understand the meaning by looking at all the
information around it.
5 Answer questions 1–6 about the words
in bold in the text.
1 Does rush mean to move quickly or slowly?
move quickly
2 If you disembark, do you get on or get off a
plane?
3 Glasses, scarves and jewellery are items? Is an item
a person, an object or a place?
4 Did they find a real leg? Does prosthetic mean real
or not real?
5 What do they do with mobile devices? Does
destroy mean to keep or to break into tiny pieces?
6 If passengers board a plane, do they get on or get
off?
6 Answer the questions for you.
1 When was the last time you left something on a
plane, train or bus? What did you do?
2 Have you ever found something that someone
left? What did you do?
