five years old and it was a long time ago!
I walked to school with Mum and I cried all the way. I didn ' t want to go. I had a
rucksack and a brand new pencil case. The playground was full of noisy, excited kids.
Some of the children looked huge - I never knew that I was so small! Then a bell rang
and everybody stopped running and went inside . How did they know what to do?
The classroom walls were yellow and there was a horrible smell of soap everywhere.
There was also an aquarium with smelly fish in it. My teacher's name was Mrs Bell.
('What a funny name! ' I thought.) She wasn't very strict but she spoke in a loud
all the time . It was very strange.
I don't remember what we learnt that day. I think we sang songs and clapped a lot.
Mrs Bell read us a story and we sat cross-legged on the floor. I was embarrassed
because I didn' t know how to do it!
'So, Kate, were you a good girl today?' Dad asked me later.
'I don't know!' I said.
'Was it fun?'
'No! And Mrs Bell said that we have to go back tomorrow!' I wasn't very happy .

Hungry Planet
Photographer Peter Menzel
and author Faith D'Alusio
visited thirty families around
the world to find out what
people eat. The result is
'Hungry Planet' . In our first
look at the book we
analyse the food that two
very different families eat in
one week.
o
They eat too many sweet
things; there's too much
sugar in their diet: there's
a packet of biscuits, some
cake and a lot of chocolate
bars. They drink quite a lot
of fruit juice, but there isn't
much fresh fruit although
there are some apples and
grapes and one or two
oranges. There aren't many
vegetables either.
o
They don't eat much meat,
just some chicken and
there isn't any fish either,
but they do eat a lot of
eggs. There aren't many
packaged snacks, just a
few bags of tortilla chips
and a little chocolate, and
there aren't any fizzy drinks
at all. There are a lot of
fresh vegetables and fruit,
especially tomatoes, carrots,
bananas, pineapples, green
beans and avocados.

CD I am writing to complain about the quality of the service and the food at your pizzeria.
CD who
My girlfriend and I ordered a cheese and tomato pizza and a cheese and salami pizza at 8.15 last night. The girl
answered the phone told us to wait half an hour for the pizzas to arrive . Unfortunately the pizzas did not
arrive until 9.50 p.m., 95 minutes later. To make matters worse, when we woke up this morning we were both
feeling very ill. Neither of us could go to work today because we both had terrible stomach pains . We are certain
that the pizzas are to blame .
I feel that you should improve the quality of your service. It is unacceptable that customers have to wait so long
for their orders. More importantly, I also think you should check the freshness of your ingredients.
I believe I should receive a refund of 1::7 .50 and an apology. If I do not receive a satisfactory reply, I am afraid that
I am going to contact the local media about this matter. I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,

with a dog walked by. He asked me if I
would look after his dog for an hour while
he went to visit his sick mother in hospital.
I said I would. After he left, another man
walked by. 'Nice dog,' ·he said. He told me
he was a vet and that the dog was very
valuable and could cost as much as £1,000.
When the first man returned from the
hospital, he explained that he had just lost
his job and was hard up . I offered to buy the
dog and finally we agreed on a price of
£200 . I got the money from a cashpoint and
paid the man. I really wanted to help him,
but I also thought it was a fast way to make
money. Later, I found out there was nothing
special about the dog at all. I'd learnt an
important lesson: there's no such thing as
easy money.

The Tube logo with its red circle and blue bar has become a
symbol of pop culture and is used to advertise all sorts of things
from language schools in Poland to cafes in Australia.
The Tube map was designed by Harry Beck in 1933 . He
believed that passengers were only interested in how to get from
one station to another and where to change lines, and didn 't
care if the map was realistic or not. So he drew a map that did
Mary~One
not show real di stances but was simple to read. His idea has
inspired many similar maps around the world.
During the Second World War Tube stations were used as
shelters to protect Londoners from German bombs.
The longest line is the Central line. It is 74 km long and it takes
I hour 28 minutes to go from one end to the other.
The longest escalator in Western Europe (318 steps) is at Angel
station. It takes 80 seconds to carry passengers up or down.
On average the air in the London Underground is lOoC hotter
than the air outside. Temperatures as high as 4TC were reported Sloane
Square
in the summer of 2006.
There are perhaps half a million mice living in the London Vlctorfa
Underground. You can often see them running around the tracks . *
There are also stories of ghosts living in the Underground. On
the platforms of Bank station the ' Black Nun' looks for her
brother, a bank worker who was executed in 1811 . And an
