Indonesia. Their favourite breakfast is telur dadar - an Indonesian
omelette, Their grandmother makes it for them every morning, She
uses ten eggs each day! The omelettes have got garlic, onions and
chilli in them. They're delicious!
Akira lives with her mum and dad in Tokyo. Her favourite
snack is her mum‘s tamagoyaki. It’s a thin Japanese omelette. Akira
eats this five times a week. Her mum adds two teaspoons of sugar
and one teaspoon of soy sauce to the eggs. She then cooks the eggs
in ahot pan. It's really tasty!

helps me in the supermarket, We go out
together every day. She gives me so much
independence’

Laura. Her mum says, ‘I don't worry as
much when Laura goes out now. I know
that Ginny is there by her side. We both
feel safer with Ginny around.

laughs and explains, ‘I know now that
you can succeed at anything you want to.
Ido so much more now I'm blind. I play
tennis more - at least four times a week

Tiny Robot,
BIG PLANS
Tiny robots can carry 2,000 times their own weight!
* Question: What have tug-of-war and geckos got in
common? Answer: ‘sticky’ feet! In tug-of-war, you use your
arms, but you also push your feet into the ground. And.
geckos can walk up most things - even across ceilings.
Put the two together, add some engineering, and meet
MicroTug.
2MicroTug is small but strong. A 9 g (0.3 oz) Microlug
can pull a 1 kg (2 1b) object up a glass wall. The engineers
say this is similar to a person climbing a tall building....
while carrying an elephant!
So, how do you design a robot to carry such heavy
weights? First, think about how ants can carry big leaves.
Then, look at how geckos can walk up walls. They can do
this because of the tiny ‘hairs’ on their feet.
“The design of the robot is simple, but underneath it's
got tiny, ‘sticky’ feet. Scientists use code to program the
robot. Then, when MicroTug pulls something heavy, it
‘sticks’ its feet to the ground and uses a movable part to
pull the object.
® Scientists want MicroTug to help people. It might
deliver equipment to people trapped in buildings. Or, it
might just bring you a drink while you're studying!
426 Match each paragraph with a description. Write the number.
1, ____ Suggestions about the ways MicroTug might be used in the future.
2, ___. An explanation of what MicroTug can do.
3, __ An explanation of how MicroTug works.

Right, boys! Get ready for the girls!
It’s true that at the moment, more men than women have STEM (science, technology,
engineering and maths) jobs. But don’t think that this will always be true. If teachers
in schools get girls interested in studying maths and computer-based subjects, there’s
no reason why girls shouldn't play a big part in this type of work. So, what should you
girls do? First, don’t think that this should be work just for men. Study hard, learn
how to code, join a club, play a lot of computer games, watch science fiction films and
do online research. If you want to build a robot that changes the world, you should
believe that you can! Remember, girls, these jobs aren’t just for the boys!

Giant

Frogs
Gilbert Base Adum holding
an African tiger frog
Gilbert Baase Adum doesn't hunt frogs anymore. In fact, he helps save
them. Today, he's a leading conservationist and an expert on African frogs.
Some frogs are endangered in Ghana, and a lot of people thought the giant
squeaker frog was extinct. But thanks to Gilbert's work, these frogs have a
second chance.
The land where the frogs live provides the local community with food,
fuel and water. However, some people cut down the trees, which is against
the law, to use the land for farming. Some local people even burn down
the trees to look for bees. The bees make wild honey. When people find the
honey, they sell it at local markets.
In 2009, Gilbert found a small population of giant squeaker frogs. Now,
he works with his organisation, Save the Frogs Ghanal, to protect them. He
talks to local farmers and persuades them to find different ways to earn
money. He plants trees so that the frogs can
return to the area again. He encourages the
local community to look after the frogs. He
visits schools to tell children how important
the frogs are to the community.
Gilbert knows how important the
frogs are. They eat mosquitoes that spread
malaria, Malaria is a disease that kills
hundreds of thousands of people, including
many children, every year. So, Gilbert says
that if we save the frogs, we save the world.

Think about why the author mentions this. GEE
The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is one of the driest places on Earth.
In some areas of the desert, rain never falls. Some of the mountains there are
6,000 m (about 19,700 ft) high - that’s as high as some of the mountains in the
Himalayas. There isn't always snow or ice on these mountains, but people in the
Atacama are collecting water. So, how are they doing it?
Meet the fog collectors. Fog is a type of cloud, But instead of being high up in
the sky, it forms near the ground, Fog collectors use big mesh nets (cloths with
holes) to collect water. In the desert, there isn’t any water on the ground, but
there's a lot of water in the air. When the wind blows, the nets collect this water.
Then the water runs down into plastic storage tanks.
The local people are using this clean water for drinking and agriculture. In
one village, farmers are using the water to grow aloe vera. This plant can help
with sunburn and stomach ache.
Many people want aloe vera.
People in the Atacama are growing
and selling a lot of it. This helps
their economy.
For now, collecting fog works
well for small communities.
Researchers are hoping to improve
the system so they can turn more
air into water.
