Leif   Ericson ,

Who really  discovered   America?  Am erica? First of all, what wh at do we mean by America? There’s North America Ameri ca and South America and together they are called the Americas. Technically, the Native Native Americans were were the firs f irstt people to discover America America when they travelled across from Asia about 12,000 years ago. But who was the first European to discover the Americas? The most common answer is Christopher Columbus. In 1492, he set sail from Spain and two months later he reached one of the islands we know now as the Bahamas. He called it San Salvador. However, Columbus thought he was on an island off the coast of India. He found natives already living there and wrongly called them ‘Indians’. The Americas got their name from another explorer, Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci travelled to the Americas seven years after Columbus, and some people believe he was the first to set foot on the mainland. During his first voyage, he explored the northern coast of South  America  Ame rica right up to the Ama Amazo zon. n. More importantly, importantly, Vespuc Vespucci ci realis realised ed South America wasn’t an extension of Asia but a whole new continent. Mystery solved? Not quite. Five hundred years earlier, in about 1000  AD  AD, a Vik Viking ing explore explorerr calle called d Leif Eric Ericso son n made an interesting disc discov overy ery.. He was exploring the coast of Greenland Greenland when he sailed furthe fur therr west and landed in Newfoundland, Canada. However, he didn’t explore the continent further.

C li liv e S t e w a r t ! Well, up until the late 19th century, scientists explored caves for study. In 1889, Edouard-Alfred Martel used ropes and ladders to go down vertical caves over 100m deep because he liked exploration. Today, we call these caves ‘potholes’ and they are the most popular with cavers.

It’s the thrill of the unknown and discovering new places. Sometimes, you have to walk through waisthigh water or climb a slippery rock face, and you think , ’What am I doing ?’ But then you disco ver a huge underground cave with beautiful rock formations and it all seems worth it. Of course, half the fun is trying to get back out of the cave.

Most caving clubs have have special special prog rammes f or beginners. They must learn the basic skills above ground first. They aren’t allowed to take part otherwise. You have to be physically fit for caving and the minimum age for club members is usually 16.

Never explore caves alone, always in groups. And you mustn’t go without an experienced caver. Also, it’s a good idea idea to leave a note of you r trip and the tim e you expect to return w ith someone. Caving Caving can be dangerous. It’s very easy for accidents to happen, but rescuing people is very difficult, sometimes impossible.

Without light you are lost. So, each person must well as as have a headlamp and at least one extra, ass well first-aid  j   batteries. You need some strong ropes andd aa first-aid ar special  A   kit is necessary, too. You don’t have to wear: clothing, as long as what you wear is warmn and waterproof.

Sichuan With its beautiful scenery, friendly   people and great food, Sichuan   Province in China is the ideal   holiday destination.

Sichuan is in southwest China and it has many mountains, including the Himalayas to the west. The famous Yangtze River runs through China, from west to east, crossing Sichuan. The Yangtze isn’t as long as the Amazon or the Nile but it’s the longest river in Asia.

One of the most impressive sights in Sichuan is the Leshan Giant Buddha, a huge statue carved out of a cliff on the side of Lingyun Mountain. The statue is more than a thousand years old and over 71 metres tall. It is the largest carved stone Buddha in the world.

Donald Turdin, Norwich It is true that computers are very popular nowadays, but they can do more harm than good. First of all, they are harmful to our health. Using a computer for too many hours can damage your eyes and cause backaches.   'hat is more, children, teenagers and even adults can easily become addicted *o computers and spend hours in front of me screen instead of socialising with other oeople. Lastly, computers that have an Internet connection are useful, but they are not safe. ney can get viruses which can destroy all the orograms and delete information. Personally, believe that computers are not as important

Elsie Flannigan, Hollyhead Computers help people in more than one way and are becoming more and more popular with people of all ages. To begin with, computers are very useful as they help us organise our work and, as a result, we work faster. Also, we can store important information, music or photos on the computer and with one click open the file we need. In addition, people who have an Internet of connection canasdownload a great amount information, well as keep in touch with family and friends. In my opinion, computers are an important part

or useful as many people think and we can aefinitely do without them.

If you were on a desert island, or on a sinking ship, how would you call for help? How well do you thin k you would react in an emergency situation? situation? I

S 3 2 ÎQ ÎF I 0CD3 Before the development of radio communication, when a ship was in danger there were a number of ways to signal for help. Lighting signal flares to show the location of the ship or flying a signal flag were very common. Using bells and foghorns or perhaps firing a gun repeatedly were also ways of making other ships hear you. These are still used today in many cases. Howeve Howe ver, r, with the developmen t of wireless telegraphy, sailors started using Morse code to send messages. Morse code is a type of code with long and short sounds or flashes of light that stand for letters of the alphabet. The most well-known

The German  government was  the first to use the  SOS signal at the  beginning beginni ng of the  20th century (in  1905). It became an  international distress  signal in 1908.

People have used  SOS as a visual  distress signal by  signalling with three  short, three long  and three short light  flashes or by writing  it in the sand or snow.  The fact that you can 

Some people believe  that SOS stands for  ‘Save Our Ship’ or ‘Save  Our Souls’, but that’s  not true. In fact, the  letters don’t stand for  anything; they were   just the the simple simplest st letters letters  in international Morse  code. However, people  probably used these  phrases to help them  remember the letters.

When the Titanic  hit  hit  an iceberg in 1912 and  started sinking, two of   the crew members used  radio communication to

g Hi, Jerry. It was was great to hear from you. I’m very busy at the mom ent, wo rkin g hard at the re staura nt. Anyway, I would be more than happy to give you some information about the cookery training course I attended. To begin with, I’ll tell you about the course itself. It was a very well-organised four-week course. The lessons lasted till six in the evening and they were three times a week. They took place at Dewhurst College and the facilities were great. As for the chefs, they were experienced and very helpful. I found it very easy to work with them and I’ve even kept in touch with some of them. However, the fees were quite expensive, but it was definitely worth it. When the course was completed, I received a certificate and, as you already know, I managed to find a job within weeks. So, if you’re thinking about signing up for the cookery course, I recommend it. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, don’t hesitate to ask. Best wishes, Monica
