Baby Bear’s Visit

Yesterday Mr Volk was woken up in his upstairs bedroom by a strange noise coming from downstairs. When he got there, he saw a baby bear searching the kitchen cupboards. He discovered that the hungry animal had entered the house through an open window in the living room. In there, the bear had a cake left on the table. Then it went into the kitchen where it found rolls and beans. After leaving the ground floor in a complete mess, the animal left the house without ever noticing Mr Volk. The rest of Mr Volk’s family, who were sleeping upstairs, didn’t know what was going on. Mr Volk contacted the police, who later found the baby bear in the neighbours’ garden. The police called the zoo to ask if a baby bear had escaped from there, but the zoo said no. It was clear that the wild animal’s mother had died in the nearby mountains. However, the zoo showed interest in having the animal so the police transferred it there.

Last week in Maransk, Russia, a kindergarten teacher was in the garden with some children when policemen arrived and asked her to count them. When she did, she found that two boys were missing. The teacher was in shock because she hadn’t noticed the boys weren’t there. She thought the policemen came to take her to the police station. But instead, they opened their car door and the two boys got out. The policemen informed the teacher that a driver had seen the boys all alone in front of a car shop. As it seemed strange, the driver took them to the police station. There, the boys told the policemen about a tunnel they had been preparing for a week and how they had escaped from the kindergarten through it.

Then they walked to the place where the driver later saw them. The boys said that all they wanted to do there was to buy a car. Although the boys’ parents did not make any official complaint, the teacher lost her job anyway.

2015 was the most tragic year in the history of the highest mountain, Mount Everest. Eighteen people were killed there when an earthquake¹ hit the area on April 25. Due to dangerous conditions, all climbers then left the mountain so nobody got to the top of it in 2015. The last time this had happened was in 1974. There was only one expedition on Mount Everest that year. It consisted of six people who were all killed on their way up by a large amount of snow falling down the mountain. In that expedition, there were five local guides who had reached the top many times before and one Frenchman. He wanted to be the first French climber to reach the top of Mount Everest but it took four more years for a Frenchman to get to the top.

My Fight With Headaches blog by Laura McFlurry

I woke up last Saturday morning with a headache. I got up thinking about what to do to stop it – a pill always helps but it’s not good for my stomach. So, Grandma suggested I try drinking herbal tea instead. The tea has always helped her. She made me a cup of it and I drank it. It tasted good but that was all. The pain didn’t disappear. So I asked my mum to give me a massage and she did. I was hopeful that a massage would definitely help stop my headache. To my surprise, it got worse! Trying to avoid taking a pill, I searched the Internet for help and found a series of pictures of head and neck exercises. After doing them properly I was feeling better each minute. I was excited. Although I hadn’t taken the pill, the headache was gone. What do you do when you have a headache?

GRAND CAMP in Greenwood National Park

Basic information

Grand Camp is one of the twelve places in Greenwood National Park where visitors can camp. Grand Camp is located at Greenwood Lake and there are 430 places where you can put up your tent or park your car. This number makes

it the second largest camp in the Park. You will find more places for tents and cars in Greenwood National Park only at Bridge Bay Camp, north of Grand Camp.

At the entrance you will find The Grand Camp Shop where you can buy equipment you might need: tents, sleeping bags, camping cookers and so on. The shop also offers used camping items. You can use them during your stay here, after you pay a small fee. You must return them on departure.

Please note that there are strict rules regarding dogs in Greenwood National Park. They must not run free at any camp in the Park and taking them hiking in the Park with you is not recommended. However, if you do so, you mustn’t leave official hiking paths. We suggest that you leave your dog at home.

Greenwood Lake is a place where you can enjoy swimming and other activities. Fishing is also allowed. The camp owners arrange fishing tours so if you’re interested, come to the main building any morning at 5am, which is the only time of the day they set off for the tour. But if you miss the tour departure, feel free to go fishing by yourself any time you’d like. Remember to bring your fishing permit with you.

Grand Camp Seasons

¾ High season (July 1–August 31) During this very busy season, it is impossible to get a place to camp without booking it first.

¾ Low season (June 7–30, September 1–15) Although it isn’t a busy season, we still recommend that you make a reservation before your arrival. However, if you don’t, there’s still a good chance you will get a place to camp on arrival.

Most popular hiking paths

¾ Green Path

The total length of the path is fifteen miles and it has two sections. It starts at Greenwood Lake and ends at Bridge Bay. First, a 5-mile long section leads through a beautiful forest.

The second section is 10 miles long and runs along Bridge Lake. For $1.25, you can get a map of the area with places worth seeing. Audio tour guides are also offered, you pay no fee to borrow them.They will provide you with a rare insight into the fauna and flora you might see on this path.

¾ Yellow Path

This path starts at Grand Camp and finishes at the end of Greenwood Canyon. Please note that the last 5 miles of this 15-mile long path lead through the rough terrain of Greenwood Canyon. For just $10, special tours with an experienced guide can be arranged for hikers who choose the Yellow Path. Apart from this arrangement, audio tour guides are also offered.

They cost half the price you’d pay for an experienced guide.

Facilities¹

On arrival, you will receive a Camp Card which will allow you to use the camp facilities.

There are 17 buildings at Grand Camp where you will always find toilets, showers and in most buildings a dishwashing station. To see which buildings have them, get a map of the camp.

Remember that a 5-minute shower a day is included in the price of your stay. If you wish to take a longer shower, just put in 50 cents and continue showering for 5 more minutes.

There are 3 places at which you can eat: the Grand Camp Snack Bar, the Grand Camp Burger Stall and the Grand Camp Restaurant. The bar and the stall are open from 12pm to 12am while the restaurant is never closed for the always hungry campers.

Przeczytajcie artykuł o mężczyźnie nazywanym Grandpa Rainbow. Na podstawie informacji w tekście dobierzcie do zadań 40–44 zawsze jedną właściwą odpowiedź A–D.

Grandpa Rainbow

In the Taiwanese city of Taichung, there is a place now called Rainbow Village. It has only one inhabitant – an 86-year-old former soldier called Grandpa Rainbow. But 10 years ago, he almost lost his home as the Taiwanese government wanted to destroy the village.

The village was built in 1949 as temporary housing for soldiers and their families. But over the years, the houses became permanent homes. The inhabitants didn’t take care of the houses so the houses became ugly. But the Taiwanese government couldn’t make the people improve the place. Over a period of time, the inhabitants moved out until it was only Grandpa Rainbow living there. The government realised the place could be better used. Although a company wanted to buy the area to build modern buildings there, the government decided to keep it. However, the government liked the idea of building modern buildings there. To do that they decided to destroy the village and to hire a company to build the buildings there. When archaeologists heard about the government’s decision, they asked if they could carry out archaeological research in the village before it was destroyed. The government agreed.

When Grandpa Rainbow heard that the government was planning to destroy his village, he became very sad. ‘This is the only home I’ve ever known’, he said. So to save the village, he bought cans of paint and started painting. He painted hundreds of colourful animals on the walls. On doors he painted the soldiers who used to live there. He painted green snakes on the pavements of the village. He painted hearts on the windows to show that the village was still alive. What began as a single yellow parrot on the wall of his house has grown into thousands of paintings. Soon, the village had become a real-life storybook.

One night, a student saw Grandpa Rainbow walking down the village street. After taking a few photos of Grandpa Rainbow’s art and listening to his story, the student shared it on social media and asked people to support Grandpa Rainbow. People were amazed at Grandpa Rainbow’s love for his village and wanted to help. Within a month, the government was inundated by thousands of e-mails from citizens. They demanded that the government save the old village.

They also wanted the government to provide Grandpa Rainbow with a bigger pension¹. With such a huge number of e-mails sent in such a short period of time, the government had no choice and agreed to both demands. Grandpa Rainbow could stay in his Rainbow Village.

But Grandpa Rainbow didn’t stop painting. ‘There are many things I can’t do anymore, but I can still paint’, he says. ‘Despite so many people coming to the village to admire my work, I’m lonely. Painting brings me fans but they don’t stay long enough to become my friends as well.

However, I still enjoy painting because it brings me back to my childhood when I was happy and physically strong. It makes me remember things I used to enjoy before I became a soldier and my life changed. It’s not an activity I’d recommend to people my age, though, as my back starts hurting soon after I start painting. I know that what I do is unusual for retired soldiers to do in their free time. But I absolutely love it.’

1.25 million tourists with cameras visit Rainbow Village every year. Only a few manage to take a photo of Grandpa Rainbow himself as he is often in hospital now. His house is the number one thing everyone photographs. Nobody leaves the village without taking a photo of it. Sometimes somebody takes a photo of his cans of paint – most often along with his brush. Occasionally, art students visit the village. It’s Grandpa Rainbow’s largest painting on the pavement that attracts them the most. They paint their own copy of it and take it home with them.
