TEXT
You are going to listen to a radio interview. You have one minute to read task 2. (1 minuto de espera)
Now listen to the recording and decide if the sentences are true or false. You will listen to the text
twice. (5 segundos)
Lucas: Good morning, dear listeners! This is Eco Radio. It is a wonderful day. It is sunny and warm outside. The
good thing is: on sunny and warm days, you can wear your favourite jeans and a T-shirt full of colours! Today is
“Green Day” and we have a visitor! Her name is Maria. She is a very young student. With her parents, Maria is
working to help the earth. The questions today are: can we all help the earth? What exactly can we do to help the
earth? Maria, welcome to our radio programme, “Kids helping their city!”
Maria: Good morning, Lucas. I’m very happy to be here. Of course, we can help! There are a lot of things to do.
We can all help the earth and our city a lot!
Lucas: That’s good. First, we want to know about you. Where are you from? Tell us about your family.
Maria: I’m from Misiones, Argentina. I was born in the city of Posadas but I came to Buenos Aires when I was 11,
two years ago. In our home in Almagro we are five: my dad, mum and two brothers, and Pizza, my dog!
Lucas: Your dog’s name is Pizza!!!(showing surprise) What an incredible name for a dog! And tell me, Maria: you
get up around 7 in the morning every day, I suppose. What is the first thing you do to live in a clean city?
Maria: Well, I don’t get up at seven. I get up at 6 o’clock. I clean my teeth every day and I’m very careful with the
water I use. When I finish, I don’t leave the tap running. In this way, I save 30 litres of water every time I brush my
teeth.
Lucas: Thirty litres! Wow! That’s a lot of water! I am not careful with water. So let’s remember, dear listeners,
don’t leave water running when you are not using it. Save water. What else do you do Maria?
Maria: I go to school by bus or by bicycle. My father never takes me to school by car. Cars pollute the city. Buses
also contaminate, but a bus transports lots of people at the same time.
Lucas: So you always ride your bike or go to school by bus, good. Do you recycle paper, Maria?
Maria: Yes, of course. I don’t throw away paper, I keep all the paper in enourmous bags. And my mother helps me
a lot. She is a secretary and she works in an office. She takes all the paper from her office to the recycling centre.
An office worker like my mother can recycle 90 kilos of paper per year.
Lucas: Well, well.That is interesting... 90 kilos of paper every year. Oh dear, we must recycle!
Maria: Yes, we can all help but we must do it now. Tomorrow can be late.
Lucas: Maria, thank you for being here. You are a green girl because you care about our city and our earth. Maria
is visiting the programme again on Thursday. So on Thursday you can phone and speak to Maria, our green friend.

Naomi wants to share this text with you. Gorillas are also her favourite animals!
http://www.TheGorillaFoundation.org/index.php
Welcome to The Gorilla Foundation's website made especially for kids! There is a lot of interesting
information about gorillas here.
THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW
Gorillas are very big primates (the family of animals that also include monkeys and humans). An adult
gorilla can be 6 feet tall (1.80 metres) and weigh 225 kg. They live in different countries in Africa.
They are very similar to us. They have two legs and two arms, 10 fingers, 2 ears and 32 teeth. But they
are different from humans because they have a lot of dark hair and they are very big.
Gorillas can live between 50 and 60 years. Baby gorillas are very small and stay with their mothers for
three years. After that, they usually stay with their families. They must learn how to find food and make
sleeping nests.
KOKO: A FANTASTIC GORILLA
Gorillas are intelligent animals, but there is one that is special and famous. Her name is Koko and she is
37 years old. Koko lives at The Gorilla Foundation in California, USA. Why is she so famous? Because
she can communicate with sign language and she is learning how to read. Penny, her teacher, and Koko
play and work every day.
Koko and Penny work hard
At The Gorilla Foundation, we think that it is very important that children take an interest in
animals, especially.
You can write a letter to kids@koko.org to get more information about Koko’s life.

The 7th grade students from Weston Primary School must choose a book from the library and
write about it.
Here is what Leticia and Adam wrote.
Read.
Alice in Wonderland
By Lewis Carroll
Leticia Row, 7th grade
Alice is walking in the garden. She sees a rabbit in a red coat and
grey trousers running very fast from plant to plant. She follows the
rabbit. The rabbit jumps into a hole in the garden. Alice jumps into
the hole too, and she falls and falls and falls... She falls 100 metres
down! The hole is very, very deep! At the bottom of this hole, there is
a room with a lot of doors. One door is very small. The others are big.
All the doors are locked. Alice finds a key on a table. It is the key to
the little door and it works all right! The door is open now! But Alice
can´t go in because she is too tall...
Holes
By Louis Sachar
Adam Jenkins, 7th grade
“Holes” is the story of a boy called Stanley Yelnats. Years ago, they
took Stanley to a camp prison – a special prison where criminals
work - but he wasn´t a criminal. In this camp, Stanley must make a
deep hole in the ground every day. The holes Stanley makes must be
70 metres deep! The weather is very dry and hot. He is always very
tired and his days in the camp are horrible. One morning, in his hole,
he finds something very important for the camp director... and
Stanley´s life changes from this moment on. Finally, he escapes
from the prison with Zero, Stanley´s only friend in the prison ...
