There are wonderful birds around the world that are unique in their own way. Some birds are very small, very big, fly very fast or very slowly, run very fast or lay big eggs. Let’s look at some of these

that still exist on our planet.

It isn’t the biggest bird in the world, but it’s got the longest wings. The Wandering Albatross has got wings that are usually over three metres long. They always live at sea and only come to small islands in the south Atlantic and Indian Ocean to eat and to lay their eggs. The size of its wings helps the Wandering Albatross to fly for hours without moving them and some scientists say that it sleeps in the air. Pollution, especially plastic, is putting these magnificent birds in danger of extinction.

The Common Ostrich comes from the same family as the kiwi and is the biggest bird in the world. It’s got a very long neck and legs that make it the fastest bird, too. Careful! It doesn’t fly faster than the Peregrine Falcon, but it runs faster than any other bird on land. An ostrich can run about 70 km per hour. It’s also got the largest  eyes and it lays the

biggest eggs. They usually weigh more than a kilo. A Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird when it drops from high up. It dives at a speed of 300 km per hour! It can also see other birds from 8 km away!

And what about small birds? The Bee Hummingbird weighs about two grams (0.002 kilos) and it’s about 5 cm long. It looks like an insect and flaps its wings 80 times per second! But a different type of hummingbird has got the fastest wings in the world; it moves them 90 times per second.

1     The Common Ostrich has got longer wings than the Wandering Albatross. _____

2     The biggest egg is from an ostrich. _____

3     The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird on land. _____

4     The Bee Hummingbird has got the fastest wings in the world. _____

5     The Peregrine Falcon can stay in the air the longest without moving its wings. _____

Jordan Romero was 13 years, ten months and ten days old when he reached the top of Mount Everest. He was born in July 1996 and he was on ‘the top of the world’ in May 2010. Today, he’s still the youngest person to climb the highest mountain on Earth.

With him were his father, his father’s wife and three Sherpas*. Jordan’s mother was at home. She watched the whole climb on a special map and talked to Jordan on a satellite phone when he was at the top. She asked him to do one thing ‘Come back home!’ – to California, USA.

Before he started his adventure in the Himalayas, Jordan explained, ‘I just want to do something big.’ But climbing Everest isn’t his only record.

He’s also the youngest climber to complete the ‘Seven Summits’: he climbed the tallest mountain in each continent. In December 2011, he reached the top of Vinson Massif in Antarctica, breaking George Atkinson’s record. Atkinson completed the ‘Seven Summits’ when he was 16.

But why did Jordan want to do this? He decided it was a good idea when he was ten. A picture of the seven highest mountains on a wall in his school inspired him. Today, Jordan wants to climb the 50 highest mountains in the USA. He says, ‘this tour around the USA is about being healthy. I want other children in the country to climb mountains with me.’ In his free time, he likes riding his bicycle, listening to music and going out with his friends.

1.Read the email and complete the sentences with one word. 
 Hi, Aunt Sally!
 How are you? I’m having a great time! I can’t believe today’s my third day at camp. Sorry I didn’t write sooner. There’s internet that we can use, but only from 12–1 p.m. Then we have lunch. Mum writes every morning, but I don’t always answer. There aren’t many computers and we need to share them.
We usually wake up early, around 8 o’clock, but today the first activity started at 10 o’clock so I stayed in bed a bit longer. We went to the lake to go fishing this morning. I loved walking there, and the fishing was OK. I wasn’t lucky, but a friend of mine, Zak, went back to the camp with three fish! Here’s a photo of him.
We can do lots of sports, too, like tennis and volleyball, but I think art activities are more fun. They’re in the evening when it’s cooler and we usually paint or draw. Sometimes it’s more creative, like ‘learn how to make a monster with socks’. That’s on Friday. I can’t wait!
 How’s Uncle Tim? I think about him a lot because I play chess every evening. I can play with him when I’m back! Zak is a very good player and he says that I’m not bad. Oh! Zak’s from France and we sometimes talk in French. I want to visit him next year in France. It’s time for lunch, Aunt Sally! See you soon.

1 Matt can only use the __________________ for one hour a day.
 2 Matt didn’t enjoy __________________ very much today.
 3 Zak caught __________________ fish this morning.
4 Matt is more __________________ than sporty.

FRED Thank you for talking to We Dance magazine, Melissa. Tell us about what you do at WSD.

MELISSA Thank you, Fred. I teach children aged 12 or younger to dance to different types of music, such as street dancing, hip-hop, pop and jazz. I’m the headteacher at the school, but there are three more teachers who help me. I really love doing my job.
FRED What do you enjoy about it most?
MELISSA With this job, I can dance every day and learn about new artists and types of music. When I was younger, I danced in my free time, but now I can do it at work, too. But what I really love is working with children. They’re fun and very creative.
FRED You teach very young children, aged two years old. Do you like that?
MELISSA I’m very interested in these groups. Dancing can help children when they’re growing. We’ve got ‘stretch classes’ and ‘baby moves’ and parents are very happy with them. Their children are stronger and healthier because of what we do here at WSD.
FRED Great! And what do you enjoy doing in your free time, Melissa?
MELISSA My brother plays the drums in a band and I like going to his concerts at the weekends. But I’m usually busy, so I don’t go very often. When I’m on holiday, I like travelling around Wales. It’s a beautiful place
