Modern–Day Mysteries
Blue dogs and giant plastic figures.
Unbelievable or fascinating? It
seems everyone loves a good mystery
and solving them is fun – but do all
mysteries have a solution?
A
Mystery blue dogs
It’s not every day you see bright blue dogs. When they started appearing in Mumbai in India, locals
found it puzzling, then worrying. A journalist posted photos on social media and the story quickly
went viral. Soon, people from all over the world wanted to know what had happened. Could someone
have painted them? Was it a joke? Were they a new species? It turned out that all the dogs were ‘street
dogs’ without owners. At first, people thought that the dogs could have been in a polluted river and
this somehow turned them blue. However, nobody had ever seen dogs there. Then locals noticed dogs
on the land outside a dye factory a few kilometres away from the river. The dogs had managed to get
inside the fences. There were puddles of blue dye all around. It was very hot and the dogs must have
rolled in the water to cool off, leaving their fur blue. Luckily, the colour wasn’t permanent and the dogs
were fine!
B

Giant man found
on beach
Finding a plastic figure on a beach might not sound
particularly curious, but when it’s 1.8 metres high, it is!
When people first saw the photos, they thought they
weren’t real – but the figure, which looks like a giant
Lego man, is real. It was found on a beach in Japan,
and similar figures have appeared on beaches around
the world, including the Netherlands and the UK. It
can’t be a dramatic advertising stunt, as some people
thought, because Lego have said they didn’t create the
figures. So, who is making them and why? One theory
is that they might be the work of a Dutch artist who
calls himself ‘Ego Leonard’. He might have made the
figures to protest about the amount of plastic in our
oceans. Leonard hasn’t confirmed if this is true. All the
figures have the curious slogan ‘No Real Than You Are’
on them. What does it mean? Did Leonard make the
figures? Why? Nobody is sure – perhaps you will solve
the mystery!

Could YOUR WARDROBE
help save the planet?
Make your wardrobe greener
How many clothes do you own? 20 items? 50? 100? When we think
of protecting the environment, we usually think of things like
saving endangered species, using renewable energy or reducing
deforestation. We don’t think about how many clothes we have. Here’s
why we should.
EVERY YEAR,
2 BILLION PAIRS
OF JEANS ARE
MANUFACTURED
WORLDWIDE.
The fashion industry is one of the most
harmful industries for the planet. Huge
amounts of energy and natural resources are
used to produce clothes. Consider a pair of
jeans. Around 15,000 litres of water were used
to grow the cotton for them, over 300 grams
of pesticides were used on the cotton, and
chemicals were used in dyeing the material.
Manufacturing the jeans produced 32 kilos of carbon dioxide – as
much as driving 125 kilometres. Add to that the energy that was used
to transport and sell them. Multiply those figures for each item you
have and you start to see the size of the problem.
That’s not all – fashion produces a lot of waste. Worldwide, 100
billion new pieces of clothing are produced every year, but each
item is worn 30% less than in the past. Enough unwanted clothes
are collected every hour in America to fill three Olympic swimming
pools! In the UK alone, experts predict that 680 million items of
clothing will be thrown away next
spring. Some will be given to charity
or recycled, but an astonishing 235
million items will end up in landfill.
1 Organise your wardrobe.
What do you wear? Put anything
you don’t wear to the side.
2 Live with your wardrobe for
three months.
Don’t buy anything new.
3 Donate or recycle anything you
haven’t worn.
Even worn-out clothes can
be recycled.
4 Start creating your capsule
wardrobe.
Before you buy anything new,
ask yourself:
• Do I really need it?
• Is it good quality?
• Will I wear it regularly?
• Can I wear it with lots of
other items in my wardrobe?
Tip! Try the three rule: one casual,
one smart and one in-between for
each ‘staple’, for example jeans
or shoes.
But we all want to look good too! A
capsule wardrobe could be the answer
– simply put, it’s having a small
number of clothes and using them
to make as many different outfits as
possible. For example, each pair of
trousers should match with lots of
different tops.
Use accessories, such as belts, ties or
jewellery to add variety to each outfit.
For a true capsule wardrobe, the limit is
37 items – could you do it? Try!
Nothing is going to be done about the
problem unless we all take action. We
can each start with our wardrobe!

My green inspiration
By Greengirl
Each week I write about someone or something that’s helping the environment.
This week I’ve been finding out all about amazing bamboo bikes.
1 (…)
Bamboo bikes have been around since 1896. Only the frame is made of
bamboo. They’re a great choice if you care about the environment, plus
there are some top-class ones.
2 (…)
Bamboo bikes are really eco-friendly, unlike traditional metal ones. Bamboo
grows really fast (some species can grow 4 cm an hour!) and it can be grown
anywhere without pesticides. There’s no deforestation. Once a year, you cut
off what you need and the plant keeps growing.
3 (…)
As well as being lighter than most metal bikes, they’re smooth to ride because the bamboo
frame is flexible. While I was testing one, I hit a hole in the ground, but I hardly
noticed it.
4 (…)
You can get pretty much any type of bike you want – mountain bike, racing bike, hybrid ...
You can design your own as well!
5 (…)
At the moment, they’re only sold online – but that could change in the future.
6 (…)
Yes! There are lots of websites where you can buy kits that contain everything you need.
When I looked at the websites, I saw that some companies also run workshops to help
you build your bamboo bike. So, bamboo bikes are definitely the way to go!
Next week I’ll be writing about sunglasses. Join me then!

Subskill: Writing a blog
A blog is usually written in an informal style.
• Use short paragraphs to make it easy to read.
• Talk directly to the reader using a friendly tone,
colloquial language and idioms.
• Use informal connectors (and, but, also, too …).

Could your
food save
the planet?
Reducing
food waste to
fight climate
change!
Find out
how!
Why is food waste a problem?
Imagine going shopping and buying ten bags of food, walking out
of the shop and throwing three full bags in the bin. Crazy, right? An
incredible 30% of food is wasted!
Growing and producing food uses up huge amounts of natural
resources and energy. Not only that, when it ends up in landfill, it
produces a greenhouse gas called methane. It’s bad for the planet!
Did you know?
•
•
•
•
Almost 50% of fruit and vegetables produced are never eaten.
In Europe, 29 million tonnes of dairy products are wasted every
year, e.g. 574 billion eggs.
In America, 60 million
tonnes of food, worth $162 billion,
are wasted every
year. Just over half
ends up in landfill.
Globally, 30% of
cereal products are
thrown away every
year – 286 million
tonnes!
What can YOU do?
1 Don’t buy too much food. It’s better to go shopping more often
and buy less each time. That way, you always have fresh food.
2 Serve smaller portions. If you put too much food on your plate, you
won’t eat everything and you’ll end up throwing some away. Using
smaller plates helps.
3 Organise your cupboards and fridge – first in, first out.
Put new shopping at the back and older products at the front.
When you open your cupboards or fridge you can see what needs to
be used first.
4 Store your food correctly.
Not in the fridge: tomatoes, eggs, bananas …
Where in the fridge?
In the door: milk, juice …
In the middle: fish, meat, yoghurts …
At the bottom: salad, fruit …
5 Understand dates. ‘Best-before’ dates are only recommendations.
You can still eat food after them. ‘Use-by’ dates should be followed.
6 Don’t throw food away. If you aren’t going to use it, donate it to a
food bank or give it to friends instead.

Rats ate their way through banknotes worth
nearly $20,000 / €18,000 inside a cash machine
near Tinsukia in Assam, India. Apparently, the
bank-robbing rodents had got into the machine
through a hole for the electric cables. Fortunately,
technicians arrived 12 days after the machine
stopped working. If they hadn’t discovered the
problem, the rats would have eaten even more
money! Local police chief Prakash Sonowal said
that a suspect’s lifeless body had been found
among the shredded banknotes. The rest of the
gang must have escaped. Photos of the ruined

What would you do if you saw a shoplifter? Some
customers at a newsagent’s in Aberdeen, Scotland,
started paying for the stolen goods because they
thought it was so funny – the thief was a bird!
Named ‘Sam’ by locals, the law-breaking seagull
used to walk into the shop, steal a bag of crisps,
and calmly walk out. Then he opened the bag with
his beak and shared the treat with his friends.
According to shopkeeper Sriaram Nagarajan
when interviewed by the BBC, Sam always waited
patiently for the perfect moment – he wouldn’t go
in unless Sriaram was busy. The seagull’s thefts
were caught on security cameras, and if you
watch the video, you’ll see that his favourites are
cheese-flavoured Doritos.
Experts from a bird protection charity warn that
we shouldn’t feed seagulls in urban areas. If we
feed them, they become dependent on humans
and they can even become violent. So if you see
Sam, don’t treat him to a bag of Doritos!

Should cyber-bullying
be illegal? Yes or No
1
2
3
4
Most people agree that cyber-bullying is cruel and must be stopped.
However, some people don’t think it’s necessary to make it illegal. There are
arguments for and against this position.
One of the main arguments for making cyber-bullying illegal is that it can
be like hacking or hate speech, which are already illegal. Those in favour of
making cyber-bullying illegal say that the law should cover psychological as
well as physical crimes. Furthermore, if cyber-bullying were illegal, it would
put off other people. Bullies would think twice if they knew they would be
punished.
On the other hand, some people argue that too many people would go
to prison if cyber-bullying were illegal. In addition, they say that there is
a difference between saying and doing terrible things. Moreover, they
argue that cyber-bullying is already covered by existing laws so it
doesn’t need extra laws.
To sum up, I am in favour of making cyber-bullying illegal, not only
because it would punish the bullies but also because it would stop
others. If we don’t make cyber-bullying illegal, some people might think
it is acceptable. Nevertheless, I think that the punishment should
include education for the bullies, not just sending them to prison.

Rubik’s Cube
When the Rubik’s Cube craze began in 1980, some people said that it would never last. But
more than 350 million cubes have been sold since then, and people are still trying to beat
the world record – currently less than five seconds! If you want to try, then first have a look
on YouTube, where lots of competitive ‘cubers’ are offering to share their secrets!
Mario Bros
1983
Do you remember Mario and Luigi? These brothers – some
people argued that they were twins – were plumbers who had
to fight strange creatures under the city of New York. In the
early 1980s many people spent hours playing this game in
video arcades. Soon afterwards, Nintendo announced that
they were bringing out Super Mario Bros for home computers
and game consoles.
Furby
1998
A robotic creature called Furby was the ‘must-have’ new gadget of 1998. Furbies spoke
their own language (Furbish) – for example, they said ‘doo-dah’ (‘yes’) or ‘boo’ (‘no’) when
their owner told them to do something – but they could also ‘learn’ English. The following
year, the US National Security Agency actually banned Furbies from its buildings because
some people claimed that they could repeat top-secret information!
Facebook
Facebook wasn’t the first social networking site
of the new millennium, but it soon became the
biggest. Created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, it
gained 1,200 users in the first 24 hours. Three
years later, Facebook reported that the number
of registered users had reached 30 million.
Nowadays, more than a billion people around the
world spend 950 million hours a day on Facebook!
2004
Pokémon Go!
Twenty years after the original Pokémon craze, the ‘pocket monsters’ made a comeback
in Pokémon Go! This time, players had to use the GPS on their mobiles to find augmented
reality creatures. Some people complained that the game could be dangerous because
players were too distracted, but fans argued that it was great that they had to go outside
and do exercise. Clearly many people agreed – after just two years, the Pokémon Company
announced that more than 800 million people had downloaded the game.
2016
What’s next?
What do you think the next big craze will be? Some
experts suggest that mobile devices won’t exist in
20 years’ time, so perhaps we’ll be playing games
on chips implanted in our bodies. Or maybe the old
20th-century time-fillers will make a comeback.

REPORT about how we spend
our time on school days
by Laura Graft
1 introduction
This report summarises the results of a class survey about how we spend our time
on school days. We asked 30 students to answer questions about how long they
spent studying sleeping and enjoying free time the previous day.
First, we asked how many hours people had spent at school, travelling to and from
school, and doing their homework. Forty per cent replied that they had spent 7–9
hours on these activities, while 60% said these activities had taken 9–10 hours.
2 main body
When asked how many hours they had spent sleeping, the vast majority (more
than 90%) reported that they had slept 8–10 hours, with just 10% sleeping less or
more than this.
Regarding free time, eight out of ten students said that they had had 3–5 hours
free time the previous day, and 20% claimed that they had had less than three
hours. Popular free time activities included spending time with friends and family,
doing sport and going to activity clubs.
3 conclusion
To sum up, this survey shows that students usually spend most of their time
sleeping or studying on weekdays, but in their free time they try to make time for
friends, family, sports and activities.

A message of hope
Do you remember watching the Rio Olympic Games? If so, you probably noticed an unusual team.
It was like no other Olympic team because for the first time the athletes came from four different
countries: South Sudan, Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia. The 10 members
competed in three different sports: running, swimming and judo. They competed together under the
Olympic flag, the famous five coloured rings. So who were the team and why were they so special?
The team was the Refugee Olympic Team. Being in
an Olympic team is the goal of many athletes. They
dream of representing their country and winning a
medal. But what do you do if you have no country?
Imagine training for years at a sport and then having
to flee for your life. Refugees lose everything, not just
their home. There are now over 25 million refugees
worldwide and numbers are increasing. Added to
that, there are around 40 million displaced people –
people who have been forced to leave their homes
who are still in their country.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC)
created the team to draw attention to this global
refugee crisis. Why? The purpose of the games is to
promote international peace through sport. The
founder, Pierre de Coubertin, saw sport not just as a
physical activity, but also as a way to educate people.
Creating the team was a way of doing that. The IOC
also wanted to send a message of hope to refugees
everywhere. The athletes in the Refugee Team were
able to compete as equals with other national teams.
People from all over the world supported the
team. Although the athletes didn’t win any medals,
it is important to remember that they achieved
something incredible. They demonstrated true
Olympic spirit in their courage and
dedication, despite facing huge
difficulties. Not only that, they
helped to raise awareness of
the problems refugees have
to deal with.
The team received such a
positive reaction that the
IOC decided to continue
having a Refugee Team at the
Olympics. Don’t forget to look
out for them next time! We can
hope that one day there will be
no need for such a team, and
that, in part at least, may be
because of sport.

Hello. I’m Sarah and I’m Jack.
We’d like to present to you
a truly exciting footballer
for Sports Star of the Year.
Samantha Kerr is from
Australia, and she is a hugely
talented international star.
Sam only started playing football
when she was 12 years old, but
she has already achieved a lot.
She first played professionally
in 2008. When she was 15, she
played for the Australian national
team for the first time in a
game against Italy. After playing
in several different teams in
Australia, Sam moved to America
to play for the Chicago Red Stars.
5
Through sport,
Sam is helping
to change
attitudes. She
is proving to
young people
that women’s
football is an
exciting game
with top-class
players, and that women can play just as well as men.
Sam is an international role model for women’s sport
who inspires young people to follow their dreams. For
these reasons, together with her many successes, we
believe that Samantha Kerr is the ideal candidate for
Sports Star of the Year.
2
Sam is a skilful player, who is always focused
on the field, and she’s very accurate.
I love watching Sam in action! Here you can
see her doing her famous backwards flip,
which she sometimes does after she scores
a goal. Sam wins matches, and she’s happy
to sign autographs and take selfies with
every person who wants one. There aren’t
enough players like her!
3
Sam won the National Women’s Soccer League
(NWSL) Golden Boot award in 2017. The Golden
Boot is for the player who scores the most goals
in a season. Sam won it again in 2018 – that’s
a record! Sam’s won several more awards,
including the Australian Women’s Player of the
Year and Young Australian of the Year.

Plastic waste is a huge problem
worldwide, but the co-founders of MacRebur have
come up with a product that could help – and tackle
the pothole crisis at the same time. MacRebur
recycles plastic that would otherwise end up in
landfill or incineration. They use recycled waste
plastic that when mixed with their special activator
can be used in asphalt to make roads. The product
has been used on roads in the UK and around the
world. Perhaps one day all roads everywhere will be
laid using recycled plastic.
B Athletes to watch
Shannon and Cheriece Hylton are twins and they’re
both world-class athletes. They’ve only been running
competitively since they turned 16. Now they’re
15 hoping to represent Britain at the next European
Championships and at the Olympics, and perhaps to
win medals. They train hard every day and amazingly,
they’ve also managed
to complete university
20 degrees – Shannon
studied biomedical
science and Cheriece
studied business
management.
When Ciara Murphy from Ireland
went to study in Bremen,
Germany, she didn’t know
anyone. However, people kept
30 asking her if she had come with
a sister or if she had a twin. The
same thing was happening to
Cordelia Roberts from the UK, who was also studying
there. Then they bumped into each other and realised
they looked identical. The ‘twin strangers’, as they
35 call themselves, quickly became friends. They
posted a photo online and later made a video telling
their story which has been viewed over 70,000
times.

Bad robbers!
When two criminals tried to steal $100,000 from a
bank in Fairfield, USA, it all went wrong. One of the
thieves phoned the bank before the robbery to tell
them to put the money in a
bag for his friend to collect.
The bank quickly phoned the
police. After collecting about
$900, his law-breaking friend
tried to flee, but police were
waiting to arrest him. They
then arrested the thief who
phoned the bank, who was
outside in the getaway car!

slides – people want to listen to you, not spend all the time reading.
• Before you start the presentation, take three slow breaths to help you stay calm.
• During the presentation, make eye contact with different members of the audience in different parts of the
room. Don’t just look at one person.
• Speak loudly and clearly, but not too fast. Don’t ‘read’ your script. Also, don’t play with your notes or walk all
