Mrs Sallibartan's English ressources

Don't forget we lose an hour in the morning this week end.

Listen to this.

You will know why and when people started doing it and the consequences.

Then you can tell me what you think about it.

Deer are becoming a more common site in our towns and cities. The numbers of deer in the UK has exploded over the past couple of years - there are said to be up to two million of them. They may look pretty, but in a built up area they can cause a lot of trouble. They damage cars and gardens, spread diseases and can cause road accidents. Andy Welsh is an expert in wildlife, and says it's dangerous because drivers in cities don't expect deer to jump into the road.

In rural areas people are more likely to anticipate a deer being around. But in urban areas it's just not something you would think about or consider. But what's important to know if you're on a fast road that may be fenced, deer are still crossing. They don't worry about stock fences they just go straight across them.

I've seen some deers too around Lardy and some wild boars and you ?

Do you ever see wild animals in your area?

In central Africa  there are big concerns gorillas are in danger of being wiped out. A new report by the United Nations says this will happen within the next 10 to 15 years unless something is done to protect them. They say too many are being killed or are being left homeless because companies are pulling down trees in the rainforest.

Chris Nellemann is an environmental expert. This is what he says : "What we are seeing now is that previous estimates from 2002, that only 10 percent of the gorillas would remain by 2030 were too optimistic. So we fear now that the gorillas may become extinct over most parts of their range within, perhaps less than 15 years from now."

That reminds me of a film and book we've got at the school library, do you know the title?

Dinosaurs were wiped out by a giant asteroid the size of the Isle of Wight, a group of experts have concluded.

There have long been two main theories on why dinosaurs became extinct.

One is that a giant asteroid in Mexico wiped them out, and the other is that lots of volcanic 'super eruptions' in India caused them to die out.Now a group of 41 scientists have studied loads of evidence and they now believe that the asteroid theory is the right one.

We've only just said goodbye to the Winter Olympics, but in just 100 days we'll be saying hello to the World Cup.

The huge event is being held in South Africa this time around - it'll be the first time the Cup has ever been hosted by an African country. 

Some people reckon the tickets are too expensive and are worried that few African people will be able to afford tickets. The cheapest World Cup ticket for anyone outside South Africa is $80.

So what do the fans reckon? Well BBC repoters have been hearing the views of people in some of those African countries taking part....

CLIP 1: "No I can't afford to go to the World Cup. And I feel disappointed, honestly. Because it's going to be really exciting, it's the first time in Africa, who knows when the next is going to be?"

CLIP 2: "Added to that there is the complication of even trying to buy your ticket online. I doubt how many people even have credit cards in Cameroon."

CLIP 3: "We can't all afford it. Those who will be able to do that will be only the rich."

What do you think of the price of the tickets? Do you have any ideas on the winners? Are you a football fan? What is your favorite team or player? Let's talk about it.
