Six Flags also has themed areas with concerts, shows,

Superman: escape from Krypton and others

This theme park has replicas of 130

famous monuments from around the

5 Tony’s story shows a positive aspect

of the Internet What other good things are there? Write at least three more advantages.

The Internet helps young people in diff erent cities or countries communicate.

Tony Anderson is 15 and, like most

people his age, he spends a lot of time

on his computer and smartphone, but his

parents aren’t complaining In fact, they’re

pleased This is because Tony was born deaf,

but now, thanks to technology and social media, his life has

completely changed Young deaf people have attended the

same schools as other children for a long time, but in the past

they found it diffi cult to make friends Most deaf people could

only communicate using sign language, and so their classmates

couldn’t talk to them And if you can’t communicate, you won’t

be able to take part in social activities with other teenagers So

deaf teenagers felt isolated and bored, didn’t have a social life,

and often suff ered from low self-esteem

Then along came the technological revolution, with computers,

the Internet and mobile phones Teenagers began to

communicate more and more by text message and go on social

media sites like Facebook and Twitter For deaf teenagers, the

Internet is an ideal way to communicate, because it doesn’t

need hearing or speaking More importantly, everyone uses

it, not just deaf people As Tony explains, ‘Now, if you’re a deaf

teenager, no-one will know you’re diff erent It’s incredible!

I can post on chat forums or social networks and the other

people probably won’t know I’m deaf, so they treat me like

everyone else It’s made me a lot more relaxed and confi dent.’

The other thing Tony enjoys is being able to connect up

with other teenagers who are deaf ‘We’ve all had similar

experiences in life, so we understand each other I’ve made

some good friends online, and sometimes we meet up, too

One day soon, deaf teenagers might be able to have a totally

normal social life because of the Internet!’

Write four or fi ve sentences.

WE DO?

475 billion cans of drink are sold in the

world every year What happens to all

these empty aluminium cans?

Amazingly, a lot of them are recycled!

It takes 100 years for an aluminium can

to decompose in a landfi ll So recycling

makes sense

Aluminium doesn’t occur naturally It’s made from bauxite

in a process called smelting Producing aluminium is

energy-intensive Bauxite is extracted by mining, which is

expensive and creates environmental problems Bauxite

mining harms forests, which aff ects plants and animals,

and the chemicals which are used in the process aff ect the

health of people living there

Recycling reduces the need to mine bauxite Recycling

aluminium consumes only 5% of the energy needed to

produce it by mining and smelting In fact, making one can

with recycled aluminium saves enough energy to run a

television for three hours!

Aluminium is one of the most common materials in

modern life It’s the cheapest material to recycle, and can

be recycled indefi nitely because it isn’t damaged by the

process Cans are also one of the easiest things to recycle

− new drinks cans appear in the shops only six weeks after

recycling!

In some countries people pay extra for each can they buy

If they recycle the can or take it back to a shop, they get

this money back Many places have got special machines

where cans are crushed, and you get a ticket saying how

many cans you recycled so you can reclaim the money

In Sweden, where this is very successful, 92% of cans are

recycled In Britain, people sell empty cans for charity

There are several hundred places that buy cans and then

recycle them Just imagine − if every can in the UK were

recycled like this, it would raise over £30 million a year for
