WORLD PROBLEMS
Some environmental14 problems are small,
like something in your town. Some are much
bigger. These can be scary15 to think about.
But we can make the planet better.
Young people today can make changes that
will help the future.

TOO MUCH TRASH*
There is a lot of rubbish in the ocean. One
area in the Pacific Ocean called the “Great
Pacific Garbage* Patch16” is so big that it
looks like an island. Scientists17 also found
other garbage patches in oceans around
the world. Some scientists say that by 2050,
there will be more pieces of plastic than fish
in the oceans.

HOW TO HELP: Buy less plastic, and recycle
what you can.

GLOBAL WARMING18
The earth is getting warmer every year. We
may not feel this in Europe, but the polar
bears in the North Pole19 can feel it. The ice is
melting20 and the oceans are getting higher.
This is bad news for cities on the coasts21.
It also means that more bad weather (storms,
floods22, etc.) is coming to places that are not
ready for it.

HOW TO HELP: Use public transport and
green energy* to slow global warming.

            CLASS CHAT
 •    Do you know any more
      environmental problems
      around the world?
 •    Is it easy to recycle in your
      city, town or village? Is there
      anything you don’t recycle?
 •    What do you do at home to
      save energy or water?

                           Almost every phone has a camera. In fact, most phones today have cameras on the front and
                           on the back. The camera on the back is for photos of the things that we see. The one on the
                           front is for selfies*. These cameras are very good. Some professional photographers use phone
                           cameras. There are even some films made on phones. Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven,
                           Logan Lucky) has a new horror film called Unsane. It was filmed on an iPhone 7 Plus.

 Did you know that the first camera on a phone was in the year 2000?
 It was only in Japan and the photos were very small: 0.11 megapixels*.
 The camera on today’s iPhone X has 12 megapixels.

 “It’s very good for teenagers, but no one else needs a camera on
 a phone.” – From a BBC story about the first camera phone in 2000.

 Mobile phone makers have lots of new
 camera ideas. Here are some of them:
 1   Two cameras: A lot of new phones have two cameras on the back.
     Sometimes one is colour and one is black-and-white. Sometimes one
     has a special lens1.
 2   Lots of cameras: Huawei has a phone with three cameras on the back.
     Samsung has a phone with four. The Nokia 9 will have five (maybe). And
     a camera company called Light is making a phone with nine cameras.
 3   A hole2 in the screen3: The black part of the front of your phone is called
     the bezel4. In 2019, you will see phones with no bezel. They will have a
     little hole in the screen for the selfie camera.                                              CLASS CHAT
 4   Pop-up cameras5: Oppo, a big Chinese brand6, has a new phone with a
                                                                                         •    Do you use a phone camera?

 5   3D cameras: Huawei will probably have a phone with a 3D camera in                        Which one do you like best? Why?
     2019.
 6   Big cameras: Do you remember the 0.11-megapixel camera in 2000?
     Xiaomi’s newest camera has a 48-megapixel camera – more than
     400 times bigger.

                                                       megapixel – a million pixels; it tells you

THE UNION JACK
                     The UK flag is called the Union Jack
                     (“Jack” means King James VI, who started
                     to use the flag in 1606). It is really three
                     flags in one. The Union Jack puts together
                     flags from England, Scotland and Ireland.
                     There are three crosses3 on the flag.
                     Two crosses are like the letter X. One X is
                     red and one is white. One cross is like a
                     plus sign4 (+). The crosses are on a blue
 King James VI       background5.
The white X is from the flag of St Andrew. The blue background
is also from the flag of St Andrew. This is the flag of Scotland.
The red X is from the flag of St Patrick. This is the flag of
Ireland. The red + is from the flag of St George. This is the flag
of England. Three saints6 make one flag.
The first Union Jack did not have the cross for Ireland. The
modern Union Jack with Ireland was first used in 1801.
Today the Union Jack represents7 the countries of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But what
about Wales? You can’t see Wales’ saint, St David, in the Union
Jack. The Welsh are not very happy about it.

THE STARS AND STRIPES
The American flag has changed many times. But it always has stars,
stripes8 and the colours red, white and blue.
There are 13 stripes on the American flag. These stripes represent the
original 13 colonies that became the first American states in 1776. In
the upper left corner9 is a blue square10. On the square are fifty white
stars. The stars are for each American state. If a new state enters the
US then a new star is put on the flag. The last stars were put on the
flag in 1959. That was the year Alaska and Hawaii became states.
The colours on the flag all mean something. Red means strength11 and
honour12. White means purity13. Blue means truth14 and justice15.

  

It’s good that you know those kids
aren’t really your friends. What
did you learn from America’s Got
Talent?
I learnt a lot about performing.
Professional performers6 work
very hard. But the best thing is
that America’s Got Talent really
made me feel more confident7.
  

That’s great. You are a big star
and you are getting bigger. Who
is your role model8 in the music
industry9?
I really like Katy Perry. She is
a great performer. But mostly
I like how she stays the same.
She doesn’t do new things just to
make money. She has to like what
she does. I think that is good to
remember.

  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT (AGT) is a very popular
  American reality television programme. It is a talent
  show in which singers, dancers, comedians and
  other performers of all ages compete10 for one
  million dollars. It started in 2006.

      Why are the How to Train Your Dragon films so popular?
   One word: dragons. The Vikings in the imaginary4 town of Berk
    have dragons as pets or friends. The characters5 and the flying

English at school. I started school when I was six. Some kids leave
school at the end of primary school (aged9 12), but most of us will
go to secondary school. My granny wants me to go to university.
I’m happy I go to school in the city. In the country, the schools
don’t have much money. There can be 50 children in one class.
A lot of children miss school because they have to work. My

That’s a Caribbean island, too. It’s a long way away from Jamaica (about
2,000 kilometres), and it’s a lot smaller. There are about 280,000 people
here. The capital city is Bridgetown, where about 110,000 people live.

At school, we all have to speak
English. In fact, my family speaks
English at home as well. My dad is
a businessman, and he says we all
need to speak good English. Most
Barbadians speak Bajan at home
and with friends. Bajan is a patois
language, like Jamaican patois.
But someone speaking Jamaican
patois can’t understand someone
speaking Bajan. They must speak
English together.

School
We go to primary school, then
secondary school, then college or
university. Barbados is very small,
though, so there aren’t many
choices10. I want to go to study in
the UK or America when I am older.                                          SOUTH AMERICA

Music
Jamaica is famous for reggae. We
like reggae, too, but our music is
more a mix of African and English
music. Our most famous singer
doesn’t perform11 traditional
Barbadian music, though. Her
name is Rihanna, and I’m sure you
know her.

What do you need to play baseball?
 To play baseball you need a bat. The bat can be made from wood or aluminium13.
 Professional players use only wooden bats. You need a ball, of course. Every player must
 have a baseball glove. The glove protects14 your hand from the hard baseball. Finally, you
 need a big field. Don’t play baseball near any windows.
