Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 50 2 Listen and read. Answer the questions. As Earth turns in space, the sun shines on only part of the planet. When it's day where you live, it's night time on the other side of the world. This means that when you're eating your breakfast, other children are going to bed. It's a different time in their country because the world has different time zones. A map of the world has lots of lines on it. Lines of latitude go around Earth. They show us the distance from the equator, the line that goes round the middle. Lines of longitude go up and down, dividing Earth like pieces of an orange. The Greenwich Meridian is a very important line of longitude which passes through London in the UK. It traditionally sets the time for all the clocks around the world. The time on this line of longitude is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If you live to the east of the Greenwich Meridian, it's later than in London. If you live to the west, it's earlier. Large countries like the USA have three or more time zones, but most countries have one, so the time is the same everywhere in that country. Before you phone a friend, check what time it is in their country. You might call them at 3. 00 in the morning and no-one wants to talk then! Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 51 4 Listen to the children talking about celebrations in their countries. Write K (Ken), M (Maria) or D (Dom). My name's Ken and I'm from Australia. New Year's Eve happens in the summer here and it's very hot. Families often have their parties on the beach. We celebrate with amazing fireworks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. At 12 o'clock we make a lot of noise with drums and trumpets and everyone sings and dances. It's a lot of fun! What do you do in Colombia, Maria? We usually celebrate New Year with our family and friends at home. The most important tradition is to eat 12 grapes - one for each month of the year. If you finish the grapes at the same time as the clock, you have good luck in the new year. We also eat sweet bread on New Year's Day. There's a coin inside the bread and the person who finds the money will be lucky too. How do you celebrate in Greece, Dom? We put a coin in sweet bread too! Families also put an onion on the door of the house for good luck. On New Year's Eve we have a big meal. We always put an extra plate on the table. In the morning on the 1st of January, the children go from house to house singing songs. If the people like the song, they give you some money or sweets.

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 52 THE LEGEND OF MOTHER MOUNTAIN Scolombia there's a very special woman. You may omewhere deep in the rainforests and mountains of never see her, but she's there all the same. She wears a dress made of leaves. She's got no shoes on her feet and she has a ring of wild flowers on her head. Her name is Mother Mountain. Her job is to look after nature and the environment, and to make sure that no-one harms it. The animals of the rainforests and mountains love her. She's their friend, and they know that they're safe with her. One day a man came to the forest to cut down some trees. As he was swinging his axe at a tree, Mother Mountain suddenly appeared from nowhere and caught his axe in her strong hands. The man turned and looked at her in amazement. ‘Why have you come into the rainforest?’Mother Mountain asked. ‘To cut wood to burn for our fires, ' the man said. ‘You can't cut down my trees, ' Mother Mountain said. Slowly her green eyes turned red as she said: ‘The environment is important for you and me! Go to sleep now. Then wake up and see! ’ Immediately the man fell to the ground in a deep sleep. The tree moved in the wind. It seemed to be saying ‘Thank you, Mother Mountain. ' A few minutes later, another man came into the forest. He didn't see the man asleep on the ground, but he saw a bear. As he was getting ready to catch it with a net, Mother Mountain suddenly appeared from nowhere and caught the net in her strong hands. ‘Why have you come into the forest?’she asked. ‘To get meat for my children to eat, ' the man said. ‘You can't kill my animals, ' Mother Mountain said. Slowly her green eyes turned red and she said: ‘The environment is important for you and me! Go to sleep now. Then wake up and see! ' The man fell to the ground in a deep sleep. The bear touched Mother Mountain and made a soft noise. It seemed to be saying ‘Thank you, Mother Mountain. ' The two men slept for several hours. Then they woke up from their deep sleep and they looked round. They didn't see Mother Mountain. She wasn't there. They only saw how beautiful the forest and its animals were. They walked home together, promising never to cut down a tree or hurt an animal ever again.

No, I was at the bookshop. Do you remember? My favourite football player was there - it was the only day I could meet him! Oh, yes, I remember! Did Charlie go with you? No, I was sending him a message at quarter to five when he called me. He said he couldn't go. Oh dear. 3 Look at the pictures carefully. Then listen and read the question and the conversation.
