Look at the pictures and
the title of the article. What does the title mean?

In any book, cartoon or we all to see the heroes defeat the villains. save
the world. win the girl and live happfly ever after. aut just between you and
me. we feel a little bit sorry for the villains as well?
Sarurnan.
from The Lord of the Rings, is an all-time favourite villain, the type of
villain I like. He is a tall wizard with a long 10 white beard and cold dar* eyes. He
wears a long White robe and carries a magic staff. Once he was a good wizard
but the power Ot a magic ring has made him evil and greedy and now he wants 15 to rule the world. Only Frodo. the
small ring bearer, can stop him.
Frodo
Baggins, a Hobbit. is small. brave and honest. with bright eyes. curly brown
hair and very large hairy feet! His 20 mission is to take the magic ring to
Mordor where it will be destroyed. He travels with some friends and together
they have to face many dangers. Gandalf a Wise wizard. protects then and shows
them the way.
Another Of my favourite heroes Peter Pan. a mischievous. daring boy with
pointed ears Who can fy and never grows peter and his friends. the
Lost Boys. have a dangerous enemy 30 called Captain Hook.
With his black moustache. cruel and a sharp metal hook instead of a hand.
the cunning Captain Hook is a perfect villain. He always wears a broad. 35
brimmed hat and fine clothes. He lives with a band of pirates an his ship. the
Jolly Roger. making plans to kidnap the Lost Boys and capture the bog he hates.
Not all
villains are men. The Wicked 40 Queen in Snow White is one ot the most
cold-hearted villains ever Beautiful but vain. the queen asks her mirror every
day. "Mirror. mirror on the wall. who is the fairest of them all?"
The answer 45 always pleases her, until one day the mirror replies that kind
and caring Snow White is even prettier than her. The jealous queen is so angry
that she dresses up as an Old woman and gives 50 Snow White a poisoned apple.
Whether
heroes or villains. these are the characters I admire the most. I love to watch
the heroes fight the villains and eventually see good Win over evil. I also 55
cant help feeling tor the villains and their weaknesses: I just love to hate
them! These stories are timeless and the Characters are larger than
lite.

dull moment in a city like London. I'm an art student and the hustle and bustle
Of so many people in one area is the inspiration for a lot of my painting.
Another advantage of city life is having everything you nccd so close at hand.
Living beside the Tube station means don't need a car to get around, which
saves me money, Also. there are shopping centres, art galleries and museums
everywhere,
Of course, London. like anv large city, has its
problems, too. Londoners don't chat on the Tube or the bus and there is much
less community spirit than in the country. Where my parents live. In fact, they
don't understand how I can put up with the constant noise and pollution, and
traffic congestion. However. see that as a small price to pay. I'm in my
element herc in the heart of this fine city. As a famous poet once said, 'He

A
sleepy village surrounded by woods and rivers might suit some people, but
others preter the bright lights and fast pace of the big city, 'Down Town'
spoke to Stephen and Marianna to get both sides of the story.

"Hello — or •G'day'. as we say down under. My name
is Marianna and I live in New South Wales, Australia, on a huge ranch called
The Rain River Land. Its a beautiful area With fantastic scenery. I live here
with my husband Joe and our two children, Patrick, I l. and Abby, 8.
We have lived on this ranch for so•cral years and love
our healthy lifestyle, We have 70,000 hectares of land. so the children have
lots of space to run around and enjoy the peace and quiet. The air is clean and
fresh and we produce a lot of our own food so we are sure that What we eat is
fresh. There's lots Of hard work to do running a ranch. hut wc don't mind.
Of course, there are some negative
aspects to life out here. There are often droughts in Australia, and sometimes
wc can't grow any crops for months. We feel isolated sometimes, too. especially
since the nearest neigh bours are almost 00kn1 away. Another problem is that
many things are not as easily available as in the city. There are no local
facilities such as schools. supermarkets and shops, and if we are ill we
have to call the flying doctor
Although life here can be difficult, we wouldnt change

Writing notes

Getting started
1
Read the theory box, then read the note and complete the blanks. Find examples
of omitted words.

Notes are messages we write in
various situations (to remind, inform. thank, apologise, etc). They must be
short and provide all the information needed Without being chatty, We usually
omit words such as personal pronouns you, etc), articles (a/an, the, etc),
auxiliaries (am, have, etc} and greetings like Dear, Yours, etc. We can use the
imperative, informal linkers (e.g so instead of therefore), participles, and
abbreviat'ons,

Let's look closer

greetings/endings; omitted personal pronouns, articles and auxiliaries;

The
Bognor Birdman Competition takes place in Bognor Regis In May. Competitors
build strange homemade flying machines or wear unusual costumes and try to
'fly' off the pier. The person who flies the furthest wins a large cash prize.
Many of the fliers take part to raise money for
charity. As many as 40,000 spectators watch this competition every year.
B
The Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling Competition is held in
Gloucester every year in May. Contestants stand at the top Of a very steep
hill. A huge cheese is rolled down, and the contestants have to chase it down
the hill. Nobody ever manages to catch the cheese, but the person who gets to
the bottom first is the winner, and keeps the cheese as a prize!
C Up-Helly-Aa is held every year on the last Tuesday of
January in the Shetland Isles. Up to 1000
people dressed as Vikings and holding flaming torches pull a Viking galley
through the streets. When they reach a certain place, they throw their torches
into the galley and burn it. Then, they put on short funny plays in local
halls. The festival is very popular with locals and tourists alike.
D The Peel Dip takes place every New Year's Day
on the Isle of Man. About 200 people jump into the freezing waters of the Irish
Sea to raise money for charity.
The
dip attracts people of all ages. All the swimmers get a medal and a
certificate.

This sled race is known internationally to be one of the longest and toughest
sled races in the world. It's the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska, USA.
It has become very popular over the years With over 65 teams taking part from
Alaska as well as many other countries.
The Mushers
The musher is the person who drives the sled and the
dogs. Each musher must cw•cide how many miles to run every day, what to eat on
the trail and the best places to stop rest. A good musher
has to be disciplined and really want to win this race.
The
Dogs perfect sled dog is the Alaskan Husky
with its thick fur and strong legs. Each dog must be healthy, so vets examine
them carefully before the race begins. These dogs were originally used to
transport goods and mail all over Alaska. However, when people started using
snowmobiles, travelling by sled became less popular. This traditional form of
transport seemed to be dying out until the Iditarod Race was started in 1973.

3 Read
the essay. What is each paragraph about?
Horse riding is a popular activity With many Ëople. Before taking it
up as a hobby, though, there are certain pros and cons to be considered.
There are a number of advantages to taking up horse riding. TO begin
With, it is an enjoyable
activity which one can do by oneself or with others. Also, it is a good
form of exercise which can help you get fit.
the Other hand, there
are some disadvantages to horse riding. To start with, it is rather expensive
because lessons and equipment cost a lot. In addition, it can be rather
dangerous as a               can suffer serious injuries if they fall Off
the
horse.
On the
whole, although horse riding is
expensive and quite dangerous, I believe it is great fun and good
exercise. It might be dangerous but, if you can afford it, the experience is
unique.
