Hello everybody!
Let
me introduce myself. I'm Jessica and I decided to write to this newspaper about
my great-grandmother. We don't always remember our ancestors but I'm lucky to
.live With my great-grandmother who is 95 now. She's the oldest
member of my family and we all love her very much. She enjoys reading this
newspaper that's why I decided to Write you.
My
great-granny's name is Maud and she lives with us. She was born in the previous
century and has lived a long life". She was born in a small village
of Aveburry not far from Salisbury. Her family wasn't a rich one so she had
to work hard since her childhood.
At
the age of nine she went to school and she says that she was lucky because not
all children at that time could go to school. After eight years of studying She
became a teacher in a village school. At the age of twenty-two
great-granny got married. When she was thirty she went to the university in Swansea
and after finishing it came back to her native village to continue her work.
She enjoyed working with little children. She has lived almost, all her
life in the same village. Granny used to have a yard with a few sheep and a goat.
Still she enjoys our garden.
Now
she is living with us in Newcastle and I'm really happy because I can see her
every day and before this I used to visit her only once a year. Sometimes she writes letters to her friends and puts them in a
letter-box.
I think she is the only person who uses it now. She is a little afraid of
traffic and seldom goes anywhere alone. She says that mother shouldn't take me
to visit her friends even if they also have children. It's a bit old-fashioned,
to my mind.
Every
evening she meets some other elderly ladies, they enjoy walking in the park or
go to listen to music concerts in the Botanical Gardens. Sometimes she goes to
the theatre but not often.
I
think that my great-grandmother is a unique lady and I'm very proud of her.

2. Read the story and
choose the correct answers after the text.
"There's
a woodchuck[1]
over on the side hill that is eating our grass," said Twinkle's father,
who
was a farmer.
"Why
don't you catch it?" asked Twinkle's mother.
"I
believe 1 will", answered the man.
So, when the midday dinner was
over, the farmer went to the field on the hillside to catch the woodchuck.
Twinkle wanted very much to go with
him, but she had to help mamma wash the dishes and put them away, and then
clean up the dining-room and put it in order. But when the work was done, and
she had all the rest of the
afternoon to herself, she decided to go over to the woodchuck's hole and see
how papa would catch the woodchuck.
So
the little girl climbed over the garden fence and ran to the hill.
She
knew perfectly well where the woodchuck's hole was, for she had looked at it
curiously many times; so she came to it carefully and found the trap[2]
put just in front of the hole. If the woodchuck stepped on it, when it
came out, the trap would hold it fast; and so when the woodchuck was caught, it
couldn't run away.
But
although the day was bright and sunshiny, and just the kind of day woodchucks
like, the clover-eater had not yet walked out of its hole. So Twinkle lay down
in the clover-field, half hidden by long green grass in front of the
woodchuck's hole, and began to watch for the little animal to come out. Her
eyes could see right into the hole; but of course she couldn't see very far in,
because the hole wasn't straight.
It
was rather tiring to wait and watch for so long, and the warm sun was shining
so pleasantly that it all made Twinkle's eyes close. She wasn't going to sleep,
because then she might miss the woodchuck; but there was no harm
in closing her eyes just one little minute; so she fell asleep.
1. The father was going to catch the
woodchuck because
a) he didn't like animals;
b) the woodchuck spoilt the crops;
c) their neighbours asked the father
about it.
2. The girl couldn't go to the field
together with her father because
a) her father didn't want it;
b) Twinkle didn't want to;
c) She had a lot of work about the house.
3. The weather on that day was
a) perfectly good for woodchucks to
go out;
b) terribly wet;
c) chilly and drizzly.
4.The girl easily found the
woodchuck's hole because
a) she had looked at it many times;
b) her fatther explained her the way
perfectly;
c)it was close to their house.
5. Coming to the hole, the girl
a) walked around it several times;
b) hid herself in the grass;
c) saw the woodchuck in the trap.
6. After waiting for a while, Twinkle
а) put the trap away from the hole;
b) saw the woodchuck in the hole;
c) didn't notice the time she fell
asleep.

Moon Bird was ccmfused. "Oh, uh... good for the pond. What pond?
What Bare you talking about?"
"Moon Bird, I thought I told
you about the Old farm pond Г found a few of years ago. Do you remember?
Moon Bird was still
confused. "Sorry", he said. "I don't remember. So what life has
appeared at the pond as you say, and why 4are you so excited about
it?"
"Well,
Moon Bird, let me start at the beginning. Last year when I found the pond, it
was a mess. There were old oil cans in the water that were killing the fish and
many of the pond insects. Litter was everywhere, in and out of
the water. The the water line from the spring was broken. So it was completely
poisoned. I decided to clean it up. I couldn't just walk away and leave Mother
Earth with such a mess. I recycled all of the oil Cans and litter. Then I
cleaned
the Water and fixed the water line. When I finished, I felt much better, and
the pond looked much better."
"But
Running Deer", said Moon Bird, "why did you go to all that trouble if
there was no wildlife around to enjoy it? Aren't you wasting your time?"
"That's
the part I am getting to, Moon Bird. I was hoping a clean pond would attract
wildlife. Today I found that my plan worked! Not only were there healthy fish,
but also frogs, snakes, salamanders, turtles, flies, spiders,
and much more! What do you think about that?"
"I think, nonsense!"
"Moon
Bird, how can you say that?"
"If all of them disappear, nobody will ever notice."
"I see." said Running Deer "Are you, afraid of those
things?"
"Afraid? Me? No, I'm not afraid! I'm just a little, well, you know...
afraid, sort of."
"Moon
Bird, all of those little water and land creatures are there because the pond
is now healthy. Fresh water brings in food for the fish and salamanders. New
plants attract many kinds of insects and birds. Fish and frogs eat the
insects. Snakes eat the. frogs. Water birds can eat frogs and salamanders. Now
they have an ecology niche."
"Oh, you have a niche?"
"Not
exactly, Moon Bird. It's not me, it's the farm. The old farm pond and
the land around it is a niche. It is a small part of the natural world where
things live together. How do you feel about those awful things now?"
"Hmrnm...
now that you explained it, I feel much better. Now that I know how important
they all are, I'm beginning to like them!"

another famous American publisher Joseph Pulitzer also used lots of comics in his I newspapers. The main character of Pulitzer's comics was a
little boy in a I
yellow suit. New York
