DO YOU LIKE SEASONS?
The four seasons in Britain are very different. Read about what Daniel and Fiona think about winter, spring, summer and autumn.
Daniel
Autumn is a very beautiful time of the year. The leaves on the trees go brown, red and yellow and then they go down. I love to watch it! We play in the parks a lot but we wear warm clothes, because the days get cold. School starts again in autumn, at the beginning of September. I don’t like school!
Summer is the time for me! School finishes in July and we can play in the parks all the time. Sometimes (but not often) it is very hot. People are happier and they talk with their friends and go for walks more. The days are very long. In July, for example, it gets dark only about 10 o’clock. It’s very difficult to go to sleep at night!
Fiona
It’s very cold in winter! Sometimes, we have a lot of snow and we can make snowmen. I don’t like winter because we can’t go for walks very much. We wear thick clothes and in our house it sometimes gets cold. When we come home from school at 4 o’clock, it is already dark. I don’t like it at all! But there is one good thing about winter — Christmas!
After the long winter, spring is great! There are new leaves on the trees and the birds start to sing. We can go for long walks again and play in the park. The days are longer and it doesn’t get dark until about six o’clock. It’s much warmer but it rains a lot and the days are very windy.

Sleep and Sleep
Why do we sleep? Do you know? In a normal life a person sleeps for about twenty-five years. Children need more sleep. A baby sleeps for about ten hours. A teenager sleeps for eight or nine hours. An adult sleeps for seven or eight hours. Old people need only five or six hours for sleeping.
When you sleep your temperature falls and your body relaxes. Sometimes people talk or walk in their sleep. They can open doors and windows. They ride bicycles and even drive cars. They can cook, clean their teeth, dig the garden and so on.
Sleepwalkers are asleep, but they have their eyes open. So they car. see. But they can’t remember anything after waking up.

About Stamps
People all over the world collect stamps. A Belgian teacher started collecting stamps in 1850. Then his pupils began to decorate their atlases with stamps. They wanted to know more in geography.
Collecting stamps became one of the most interesting hobbies. A stamp collection is a good textbook of history and geography. It gives us much information on many subjects. This hobby helps people from many countries to become friends.
The first Russian stamps appeared in 1857. And the first Soviet stamps appeared in 1921. The «Penny Black» is the name of the first postage stamp in the world. It is a very famous stamp.
Animal Secrets
Many baby animals can go from the moment they appear in this world. Why? Because they feed on grass. They eat a lot of grass. So they must move from place to place to find their food.
The parent birds bring the food to their babies. Young babies are not ready to fly. Kangaroo babies sit in special mother’s pockets (ponches).
The parent lions and wolves catch food and bring it to their babies.
When Indian elephants want to sleep, they lie on the ground. When they stand sleeping, they are ill. African elephants always sleep standing up.
There is an interesting fish in Australia. It can walk. It walks out of the water, climbs the trees and stays there for hours.
Umbrella
The word umbrella is Italian. We can translate it as «a little shade». The Italians did not invent the umbrella. People used it many years ago in the East.
We can use umbrellas as a protection against the sun. But in England they use them more as a protection against the rain.
The name of the first man who appeared in the streets of London with an umbrella was Jonas Hanway. It was more than a hundred and fifty years (150) ago. People can see a monument ti this man in London.
Bottle-Opener v
Every day we open bottles of mineral water or lemonade and we don’t think much about it. But there was a time in Britain when people had no right to do it. Why?
Sometimes people found a bottle with a cork in it. Those bottles were from the sea. Did you hear anything about it?
It was one hundred and thirty years ago. Only one person had the official right to uncork the bottles from the see. Thy called hirr. «Uncorker of Bottles».
The bottles had important official letters inside. Sailors of British ships threw them into the sea. Those days they didn’t have other way to send letters.
HUMOUR
Do you know what word becomes shorter if you add two letters to it? You think there is no answer to that question. Can you make a word shorter if you add two letters to it? You are sure, you can’t. But you can. Add er to the word short. It becomes shorter.
And what about the longest word? Do you know it? Oh, it is smiles.
Why? Because there is a mile between the first and the last letters.
***
Some children think that the best time to gather fruit is the time when there is no dog in the garden.
Some children think that the moon is nearer to us than America. Why? Because they can see the moon and they cannot see America.
