OUTCOMES
EMILY, GERMANY
We're having a sale because we're closing the
shop. lt's sad, because my grandfather opened
it 60 years ago. When I was small, I came here
on Saturday mornings and sat and read the
children's books.
When my grandad retired, I managed the shop.
Now there's a sale, lots of people are buying
things, but it's normally very difficult. There are
lots of very big bookshops now, which sell every
book a customer can want, They also have a
caf6 and famous writers give talks at the shop.
We can't do that, so we're not getting many
customers and we're losing money.
l'm looking for a job at the moment, but I don't
really know what I want to do in the future. I
don't really want to work in another bookshop
after I leave here.

Kids in the UK who don't speak English at
home are bad at science.
Speaking two languages is normal for
most people in the world.
Learning two languages when you're
young is good.
A primary school in London has students who speak over 40
languages! Each month, one of the children at Newbury Park
Primary teaches other children some words of the language that
they speak at home. A teacher films the student speaking in the
foreign language and asks how to say simple things like hello
and thank you. They show the film to the other pupils in the
school and the pupils learn the words. In January and February,
they learned some T[rrkish and Japanese. This month, they're
Iearning Romanian.

We all have bad experiences, but it's best to forget
them.
We need to teach children to be positive and to only
talk about success.
lt's important to have good and bad experiences and
it's bad to worry a lot about making mistakes.
Children are bad now because they can do what they
want and their parents don't criticise them.
B Now read and decide which sentence in exercise A
best explains the writer's argument.

something bad happened to

a football match, rny cat died,

say, 'It doesn't matter' or 'Forget
about it'. He said, 'Put it down
to experience'. It lvas a good
expression and I thank my dad

means'think about everything
that happens - both good and

Negative experiences matter and
it's not stupid to feel bad or sad.

you also need to continue to
enjoy life and be open to new
expcriences.

good experiences and success
are important: passing exams:

they're nice to look at. They're impressive. The problem is,
the countryside doesn't have enough mountains. Travelling

There are lots of jobs in computers
and technology and wages are
higher than in my country. People
here are very relaxed and open. They
often invite you to their homes for a
barbecue.
I really don't miss anything

long, dark, cold winters here - it's
basically warm all year round. But
if you want snow, you can go to the
mountains and ski. I can also watch
ice-hockey games, which I love. In
fact, it's great for sport here. The only
problem is I work long hours, so I
don't have time to take advantage of
all the opportunities.

so we often go there - sometimes just for the day
and sometimes longer. As you can see, the scenery is

years old and there are animals like bears and wolves
- oh, and there are salmon too. lt's sunny sometimes,
but the day we took this photo, it rained all day. We
decided to walk across the river because we were

efficient, and it was free.
When you talk to people here, they're nice
and polite, but it's difficuit to really know them.
I also don't think families are very close here.
Most of my friends here are other foreigners. We
play football in the park every Sunday. In my
country, our house is always open to visitors. I
really miss my own family and I speak to them
every day and send money home.
I've always found work doing cleaning or in
construction. It's not what I want to do. I was
the manager of a company back home, but you
do what you have to do and, compared to my
country, wages here are very high.
What do I think of the weather? I like it! I
know it rains quite a Iot, but actually, in my
country, it's often too hot.

The snow's good in January. We left on Saturday at three in the

Camels are found across north and east Africa, and the Middle East. ln
Kuwait, the camel is our national animal. Camels are very important
for us: they can travel for days across the desert without food or
water; they can carry more than horses can, and they are quieter and
more intelligent as well.
Camels also provide milk. We believe the milk is very good for you
and stops you getting ill. Camel meat is eaten by some people too. lt's
high in protein and low in fat. Camel skins are sometimes made into
leather as well.
Camels also provide entertainment. Camel racing is very popular
here, though people are now asking if it is right to use foreign children
to ride them.

The nationaltree of Brazil is called Pau Brasil. lt is often said that we
took the name of our country from this tree. lt grows up to 15 metres
high and has lovely yellow flowers.
ln the past, it was found all along the Atlantic coast, but there was
quite a big problem because lots of trees were cut down.The wood
from the trees is very beautiful - it's a lovely orange-red colour - and
it's very valuable. lt's used to make bows - to play instruments like
violins with.
A red dye was also produced from the tree and sold, but in the
nineteenth century they started using chemicals to make these dyes
in factories. That probably saved the tree!
Pau Brasil has strong cultural, economic and historical importance
for us Brazilians. lt's protected by law now and we really don't want to
lose it.

My husband and I spenttwoyears lookingforthe right placeto
Iive. We weren't looking seriously to begin with, but then I got
pregnant and we had to find somewhere fast.We saw five houses
every weekend for four months, but didn't like any of them. One
day, we were driving home from another appointment when
suddenly we saw it - the house of our dreams! And, incredibly, it
was for sale. We knocked at the door and offered the price they
were asking for it immediately.
When I was growing up, I always loved music and musical
instruments. For my twelfth birthday, my uncle gave me a guitar
and it was love at first sight. He was playing in a band at the time,
and this had a big influence on me. After that, the guitar became
the centre of my world.l played it 24hovrs a day, seven days a
week. Later, I studied music at university and now I make guitars
for a living. All because ofthat special day!
I love Second Life, an online world where you create virtual
characters -you design them, choose their names and then create
lives for them. Last year, I was spend ing a lot of time on line and
one night, I met my future husband. I was working in a Second Life
nightclub, he came in and it was love at first sight. His'character'
soon asked my'character'to marry him and I said yes.We were
