1 . There is a new school called Deep Green Bush School in New Zealand. The headmaster, called Moncarz, said to the teachers, “Please don’t tell kids it is time to do reading, writing or maths.”
Headmaster Moncarz said, “If the weather is sunny, the students spend the day outdoors. They can play in the bush or on the grass, learn to fish or hunt, they can also pick apples and oranges, collect leaves and butterflies. At noon time, they cook lunch on an open fire. After school, they learn about the plants around their home or do something they like. There is no homework or classes. The students begin to learn more classical school skills which students are asked to learn in other schools, such as reading, writing and maths, only after they show an interest in them.”
Well, is this school an “experiment” in education? Headmaster Moncarz answered no, “Most of the students are busy and unhappy in most traditional schools and their parents are worried about that. The idea comes from a lot of study. We just want the students to learn what they want to learn, do what they want to do.”

2 . In England, people don’t often talk to each other when they travel. If you get on a bus, or in a train, you will sometimes see some people sitting and looking out of the window. Other people will be reading books or newspapers. But English people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in one day. When you meet English people, they often start a conversation by talking about the weather. So when you meet somebody in England, you can say, “Nice weather for the time of year!”
“But it was a little cold yesterday,” somebody may answer.
“But it will get a bit warmer later,” you can say.
Talk like this, and the English will think “How friendly you are!”

7 . Proper hand washing is a good way of stopping the spread of disease, as it removes the germs that can be spread to others and helps to keep the environment around you clean.
Having clean hands is important because people often use their hands to touch their eyes, noses and mouths. Touching these areas gives germs access to the inside of the body where they can cause illness.

They may stay in a tree when the rain is coming. Other animals can also tell the weather. If it is a bad day, the chickens will be not quiet, and they will run everywhere.
