Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry like to ride horses. They play a sport called polo. Prince Harry wants to be a solider in the army. A lot of people like to see the Royal Family so they often appear in public. It is difficult for the Royal Family to have private lives. Newspapers and television want stories about them. They really like stories about the young princes.


Packet lunch unit 2
Most schools in Britain provide hot meals and salads every day but many students prefer to take
their own lunch to school. A lot of chocolate, crisps, fatty foods and cola isn't good for people. But these foods are everywhere. This is part of an advertisement on British TV. They want people to eat five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day. One school in England helps students to eat healthy food with the German Machine. Green Machine have got lots of interesting snacks. There are cereals bars organic crisps, yoghurts, and the drinks in Green Machines are healthy as well. There are fruits juices, mineral water ad smoothies. These students are enjoying their food and it's good for them too.

They cycle, they walk and they come is cars. The school day starts with registration where the teacher checks everybody is in school. After two or theree lessons there is a break. This is fifteen minutes when students go out into the playground to have fun after all that concentration! After lunch it's back to the classroom. The mani subjects in the school timetable ara English, maths and science. It is also popular. Then there's French or Spanish, history and geography. Students also study art, music and PE.

Traditional, local shops exist in some areas. They sell different things like food, medicines and cosmetics, clothes and books. But in most high streets in Britain the same shop names appear all the time. This is Bluewater near London. It's the largest shopping complex in Europe with over 330 different shops and three big department stores. For a lot of people "going shopping" doesn't mean they are going tu buy anything. Many people never spend any money. It's a social event. Shopping centres are open late most nights of the week and form 11 o'clock until five o'clock on Sundays. So you can go shopping just about whenever you want.

Terraced house are joined together-sometimes in a long row, but some terraces have only got a few houses. Lots of people live in flats, especially in big towns and cities. Houses in different parts of Britian can look very different. There ara lots of regional variations because builders use local materials. A famous traditional saying is " An Englishman's home is his castle'. British people spend a lot of time and money on their homes and gardens. This is called DIY, wich means Do It Yourself.


Worldwide fund for Nature unit 6People love animals. But some of the world's animals are in danger of extinction. Another big problem is the destruction of the rainforests. This is removing the habitat of many animals, like these gorillas, birds and plants. The number of animals in some species is now very small and they many mot exist at all for much longer. Animals born in Britains are now back in the Congo and Gabon in Africa. They are surviving and adapting successfully to conditions there. This is an African black rhino.

You cant also now borrow CDs, videos and DVDs of films and television programmes. Libraries are very important in schools and universities both for study for reading for pleasure. The Britich Library is one of the world's greatest libraries. The Queen opened its new building in 1998. People predicted thet radio, then television, then the Internet would kill reading, but it is atill a very popular activity.
