In fact, the Epper family has been doing death-
defying stunts since the 1930s.
However, that doesn’t mean there haven't

She has been in the business for over 60 years
and is still going strong,
Why would a mother be telling her son to jump
off a building?
Of all the crazy risk-takers in this family, there
is one name that stands out as being the
toughest of the bunch.
Ten-year-old Matt is standing on the edge of the
roof. [T]_] He can't hear what they're saying
because his heart is beating louder than their
calls. Matt is afraid, Suddenly, he hears his
mother's voice. “Just jump, Matt!”
You're probably wondering what's going on.
2Z]_] Well, in Matt's family it’s a phrase you
hear all the time and Matt's jump is his
initiation into the family business.
Matt was born into a family of stuntmen. [3] _]
They are the fearless Eppers of Hollywood and
danger is their middle name. If Matt does decide
to become a stuntman, he will be the fourth
generation of Eppers in the business. If you're
watching someone hanging from a helicopter or
a dangerous car stunt, it's probably an Epper
doing a hard day's work. They have appeared in
films like Die Hard, Commando and Transformers.
4]_] Her name is Jeannie Epper who happens
to be Matt's great-grandmother. She is
considered to be the greatest stuntwoman who's
ever lived and has received a Lifetime
Achievement Award at the Oscars. [5]_] She
worked as a stunt double for Linda Carter in
Wonder Woman and Linda Evans in Dynasty.
So what's it like living with the Eppers? Well,
with all the banged-up body parts, you might
hear a lot of creaky bones. Every day,
somewhere in Hollywood there is an Epper
flipping a car or setting themselves on fire.
‘According to Matt's great-grandmother, “When
we do stunts, there's just no room for fear. You
just have to close your eyes and jump!”Speaking

Google was the brainchild of Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1995 at
Stanford University, USA, while they were studying Computer Science. You could
say Google started with an argument as, at first, Sergey and Larry didn’t really
get ont! In fact, they argued and disagreed on just about everything. However,
there was one thing they did share: a commitment to making the Internet more
user-friendly.
At that time, Internet search engines were slow and complicated. They listed
search results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a
page. Larry and Sergey found this frustrating. An idea came to them: why not list
search results according to a website's popularity?
So, they set about creating a search engine that could calculate how important a
particular web page was. At first, their research received a fair amount of criticism
from experts, but the two friends didn’t give up and managed to raise enough
money from investors, family and friends to support themselves.
While they were developing the search engine, Larry and Sergey realised it needed a
catchy name. They were inspired by a mathematical word, ‘gogo!’ which means ‘1
followed by a hundred zeros’. They thought it was a really good name, considering the
endless amount of information available on the Net, and so ‘gogo!’ became ‘google’.
In 1998, Larry and Sergey set up their office in a friend's garage and Google went

number of grottos of various sizes. Some of these
grottos are fiy to a hundred metres in diameter and
Up to twenty metres in height. n all the cave contains
about 60 lakes, over 20 grottos, and around 6,000
‘metres of passages. Currently, tourists have access

Underground lake and is one of the most interesting grottos.
Long Grotto, as its name suggests, is the longest grotto in
Kungur Ice Cave, measuring around 200 metres. It has a
number of smalllakes with crystal cleer water and an entrance to
the reserved part of the cave where scientists cary out
research. When leaving the cave, vistors often got a
feeling of returning from a long voyage to the centre of
the Earth.

They had only travelled a few miles down the river when, to
their horror, they saw a huge wall of ice in front of them! Their
raft crashed into the ice and the men fel into the freezing cold
water Ifthe water hadnt been so fast-lowing, they would
have been able to craw onto the ice, but instead it quickly
sucked them under and swept them along. [1 _] ‘What

surfaced and saw his father holding onto an oar.
Freezing cold and with Nell sutfering from hypothermia, the
two men made their way to the shore, Blake quickly lita
fire. He knew his father would die from the cold if he didn't
get warm soon|2 |_|
The next morning, Blake knew that he had to get
hip @s they had lost all their supplies — their
food, tent and clothes. He left his father and made his
way towards a town 104 km away, singing loudly to sca
off bears. He even caught and ate ants and spiders to

such as ice, sea, limestone, chalk, salt, and even lava caves.

Different caves form in different ways. For example, limestone
caves form as acidic rain dissolves rock. Sea caves form as
‘ocean waves and heavy rain erode cliffs. Ice caves form as
melting water runs under glaciers or through cracks in the ice.
ieee
In many limestone caves, stalactites grow slowly from the
ceiling as calcite* from dripping water hardens. As water
drips from them, similar formations called stalagmites grow:
up from the floor. When stalactites and stalagmites meet in
the middle, they form columns.

There area lt of animal shelters in Spain which look after
abandoned or neglected pets, like cats and dogs. But did you
know there is also one that cares for rescued chimpanzees?
The Mona Foundation is based in Girona, Catalonia. It
provides a safe home for chimpanzees, which were being
used by photographers or were performing in circuses, since
2000. The foundation was given some land by the local
‘council and they had the chimps’ houses and play areas
specially designed, The chimps can run and climb and they
even have their own pond!
‘Aihough The Mona Foundation receives funding, it runs on
Volunteers. Those who live locally come whenever they can
spate the time. The centre is often visited by community groups
‘and also holds regular fundraising events. Volunteers help out
(on these occasions as well as doing routine maintenance and
gardening at the centre. Volunteers also advertise the
foundation's work and visit schools in the community.
There are other volunteers at the foundation, volunteer
keepers, who stay for six months. They live in
accommodation at the centre, The volunteer Keepers are
‘more closely involved in the daily care of the animals. They
collect and prepare the chimpanzees’ food and keep their
sleeping areas clean. Once they have been working at the
‘centre for a while, volunteers are given more responsibilities.
‘The work is demanding and the hours are very long but the
volunteers are getting the unique experience of working and
playing with chimpanzees.Although, the chimps are
encouraged to look atter themselves as much as possible,
sometimes the volunteers organise fun activities for them.

So, Steven, why did you decide to spend a year studying abroad?
Wel, generally | thought it would be an adventure and a great leaming opportunity to live in a
totally different culture. | chose Mexico because | have been learning Spanish for three years now
and | wanted to improve my language skis
What have been the best parts of your experience so far?
I's very dificult to choose just a few, but one ofthe best things has definitely been the experience of
living with a host family. Mexicans are very warm, outgoing people and my hosts have been tating me
like part oftheir family, During my frst week, they invited their whole family for dinner to meet me and it
was fun but quite overwhelming trying to answer all their questions in Spanish. I've also been leaming to
slow down and relax and take an aftemoon sista after a big lunch, like the rest ofthe family! It’s been
fantastic ving in one of Mexico's oldest cites, too, with its beautiful 16th century architecture. I's a great
feeling when you start to feel ike you belong ina foreign place. ite things lke knowing the answer when
strangers ask you for directions or getting around without getting lost are o Fewarding.
And what about the challenging parts?
Wel, I've been struggling abit to get used to the hot weather, but now | wear a hat. It was also dificult to
get used to the spicy food, but now I'm really enjoying it. | stil have difficulty understanding social
eliquette. Last week, for example, a new Mexican friend invited me for dinner and I tumed up exactly on

What would you say to other young people considering studying abroad?
(Goifrit! Without a doubt, this has been the best experience of my life sofa. I've become

passionate about the environment and
social issues, but he felt that he wanted
to do even more. He argued that if we
grew our own food instead of buying it, we
wouldn't throw a third oft away while milions
around the world go hungry. So, Mark gave up his
job and decided to prove that we dont need money to survive, by
living without it for a year. He moved into an old caravan in the
‘countryside, put in solar panels for power, and started growing his
‘own food and washing in a river. When he did't have enough home-
grown food, he went into the forest to pick wild food, like berries. Mark
‘enjoyed the year so much that he has been living without money since
then. Recently, he's written a book, The Moneyless Man: A Year of
Freeconomic Living and hopes to use the profits to create a whole
‘community that lives without money.

Writing for-and-against essays
A for-and-against essay is a formal
piece of writing which discusses the
advantages and disadvantages of a

In the introduction we introduce the

In the main body we present the
arguments for and against with

with a topic sentence that presents
the main idea of the paragraph.
In the conclusion, we summarise the
arguments and give our opinion (1

These days, more and more people are
thinking of having plastic surgery to improve
their appearance. Some people believe it's OK if,
this makes them feel better about themselves, but
others think it is very worrying.
Without a doubt, there are some advantages to
having plastic surgery to improve your appearance.
Firstly, if someone has a scar from an accident, then
doctors can remove it. This will improve the person's
confidence and boost their self-image. Secondly, if
someone is born with a birth defect, it can affect their
uality of life. Plastic surgery can help them live a
normal ife without feeling different.
(On the other hand, there are a number of disadvantages to plastic
surgery for purely cosmetic reasons. To begin with, there might be a chance
‘that something will go wrong, This means people may end up worse off than
before. In addition, plastic surgery can be addictive. People can become so
obsessed with improving themselves that they are na longer recognisable.

inspired by Indian leader, Mahatma Gandhi, who encouraged
‘non-violent protests to create positive change in society.
[4[__] King admired Rosa Parks for her bravery and began @
boyeot of Montgomery buses, with African Americans refusing
to travel on them for over a year. The protest resulted in a ban
‘on black and white segregation on public transport. His non-
violent campaign for poltical change atracted many supporters,
including writers, artists and politicians of all races.
[51_| In 1963, King led thousands of people on the historic
"March on Washington’, the home of the government and gave
his famous ‘I have a dream’ speech. The following year,

Somebody had hacked into the computer system and
altered the wording on the road signs. [2] _] They
made mischief by using computer codes written by other
people. Their exploits are annoying but don't usually
cause too much disruption. However, their big brothers,
the crackers, area different story altogether.
Security crackers are highly intelligent programmers who
break into computer systems to cause havoc. They use
their knowledge to gain access to systems and infect
them. [3 [_] In 2004, one cracker introduced a worm
into a number of computer systems and caused
disruption on a global scale. In the UK, the Coastguard
had to go back to map reading rather than relying on their
navigation systems, in Brussels it hit the European
Commission headquarters and in Taiwan, more than 400
post office branches had to resort to using pen and paper
after their computers crashed.

‘One night, the burglars broke into the shop and attempted to steal Jack

next morning, pet shop owner Caroline Hobday found Jack on top of his cage .

patrolling and protecting the other animals like a guard dog. She added that she was very proud
of him. A policeman later said that they would possibly be able to trace the thieves from DNA samples
taken from the blood they left behind. Well, Jack, who's a clever boy then!

Some suggestions about what the
council could do with the site.
>> Firstly, although it needs a lot of
work, the factory would be great as a
youth centre. A youth centre would
provide young people with a place to get together and take part
in different activities. AS a result, they would be off the streets
in a safe place doing something enjoyable.
©» Furthermore, the waste ground around the factory could
be tured into attractive parkland. It could have trees, benches
and sports facilities such as a football pitch and a basketball
court. Consequently, members of the community of all ages
‘would have somewhere pleasant to relax, play sport and come
together. This would brighten up the area and contribute to a
sense of community spirit.

the factory and believe that the council should turn it into a
