Climate change

Climate scientists have measured the temperature and rainfall on every part of the Earth over many years. They look at the changes and predict the future with the information. The first map shows the temperature over 30 years. In most parts of the world, the temperature has increased by a few degrees and scientists think it will increase in the future.
The second map shows rainfall on the Earth over 30 years. The amount of rain is very different from region to region. Rainfall has increased in some countries and scientists think it will increase in the future. But rainfall has also decreased in other parts and, in these regions,
it won’t increase. It will decrease.
In conclusion, the changes in climate will continue in the next century. The Earth will feel hotter and rainfall will be higher for some places, but lower for others.

Global fashion

Gillian Turner-Niles is a fashion photographer. She lives in New York and works in the fashion capitals of the world. You can see her photographs on the pages of fashion magazines across the world. Her clients include Gucci, Dior, Ferragamo, even the sports clothing company Nike. But today she’s talking to me by phone from the middle of Sudan. So, what is she doing there?‘I’m taking photographs, of course!’ She explains, ‘I’m not taking photographs for Vogue or anyone else. It’s like a holiday. In my business, it’s easy to forget there’s another world out there. And I like looking at clothes in a different way when I travel.’But in this world of global fashion, people all over the world wear the same clothes. The businessman’s suit in Beijing is like the businessman’s suit in Berlin. And jeans and T-shirts are almost a type of uniform these days.‘Yes, I think that’s true in the big international cities,’ Gillian says. ‘But I’m visiting regions in the world with their own traditional clothes and their own fashions. That’s especially true in this part of Africa.’

Extreme sports

Lots of people do sport in their free time, but these people do extreme sports!

A Cliff diving

Cliff diving is a very exciting extreme sport and Cyrille Oumedjkane is an expert cliff diver. In this photo, he is in Kragero, Norway at the cliff diving world series. He can jump between twenty and thirty metres into the water feet first. (Normal divers jump from ten metres or less and they jump into the water head first.) He can jump from any high place. ‘I cliff dive because I don’t like soccer. I like the adrenaline,’ he says.

B Highlining

You can ‘highline’ in lots of different places, but mountains are popular. You put a line between two high places and walk across. In this photo, American Andy Lewis walks above a canyon in Utah, USA. It’s early evening so he can’t see well. Also the wind is strong so Andy can’t walk fast, but highlining is a great adventure.

C Mountain biking

Perhaps you often go cycling, but how well can you cycle across the top of a 1,000 metre mountain? Professional mountain biker Kenny Belaey cycles across South Africa’s Table Mountain in this photo. ‘The landscape is perfect,’ he says.

D Paragliding

In this photo Justin Ferrar flies above Fronalpstock in the mountains of Switzerland. The weather is perfect for paragliding and today it’s very peaceful. But paragliding isn’t normally relaxing! Extreme paragliders can fly over 3,000 metres high and very long distances (over 300 kilometres).

How To Understand And Teach Young Learners Better

1. 1
   What Young Learners Want
   Students at this level are just starting their academic careers. School may be intimidating for some of the students in your class so, in order to encourage everyone to participate, it is important to make your lessons relaxed and fun. YL Students will be learning very basic material but you can design creative lessons that get students moving around and speaking with one another. Young learners are generally very enthusiastic aboutsongs, especially if they can sing along, and active games. Be sure to provide lots of encouragement and positive feedback. You want to create a safe, stress-free environment that everyone can enjoy learning in.
2. 2
   How Young Learners Behave
   Keep exercises fun and short because these students have short attention spans and are easily distracted. Overacting and projection will help keep the focus on you. Teach students how to behave in a classroom by asking them to be quiet while you are talking and raise their hands if they have questions or want to answer a question. This may not be directly related to ESL but it is important that students learn good behavior early on; it will make their transition to primary school easier. Teach them to respond to basic classroom English phrasessuch as “Please sit down.” because these are expressions that they will hear repeatedly throughout their study of English. For students at this age, you are responsible not only for starting to teach them English, but also for preparing them for their next level of education. Students will perform better in their classes if they behave well and have a good understanding of basic principles.
3. 3
   What To Focus On
   The primary focus of these lessons will be on communication and laying a solid foundation for further English coursework. Students should practice the different sounds of the English language and learn material such as the alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes. You will introduce vocabulary words gradually and may choose to study some simple structures that relate to everyday life too. It could be that reading and writing never enter into your classes but a focus on speaking and listening will help students become more comfortable and confident with English.
4. 4
   More YL Tips
   There are many other things you can do to ensure that students succeed in class. There is no need to assign homework at this stage but be sure to track individual and class progress so that students can visually see what they have learned and how they are doing. Encourage students to try their best and create a constructive learning environment where students do not need to worry about making mistakes. Create activities and exercises that are entertaining. Help students learn how to interact with one another as well as how to speak English. Students will also feel more comfortable if you stick to a regular schedule so if you decide to make changes, implement them over a period of time rather than all at once. Constantly review and avoid introducing too much new vocabulary at a time. Students may not remember material from one day to the next so repetition is important. The more students are exposed to certain material, the faster they will learn it. This is how native speakers learn English, by listening to people around them and expanding their range of vocabulary gradually.

These learners can be a real pleasure to teach because they do not feel stressed by their studies and approach everything with youthful innocence.

You play an important role in helping them develop into lifelong learners. Foster a love of learning by creating lesson plans that appeal to them, suit their maturity level, and focus on what will help them excel in future English courses.

15 tips for public speaking that apply to shining at work, and just about everywhere else

1. Gratitude is always the best place to begin. 
Any and every gig is an honour. Thank the host, and thank the audience for the possible mountains they moved to show up and listen to you.

2. Being prepared is an act of love. And intelligence.
Even if you can improv with the best of them, do a complete run through in advance, and a written key points list of your talk. I like to do a verbal run through in the tub the day before (the tub is my second office, really,) and I do a key points list the morning of the event.

3. Lead with your best stuff. 
Make an entrance. Put forth your Big Point right away. Start with your best story, your funniest joke, your guiding theory. Don’t make them wait to see you shine. Grab ‘em from the get-go.

4. Know who you’re talking to. 
A co-presenter and I gave a talk to a group of underprivileged single moms. My co-presenter talked about shopping at Tiffany’s and Saks. They turned on us. It was ugly. Along this same line…

5. Research your audience. 
Guy Kawasaki is great at this. At a presentation in Vancouver last year, he sported a Vancouver Canucks jersey, made some good jokes about the event organizers, and told some personal stories that related to the organization’s mission.

6. Actively respect your audience. 
A playwright friend of mine commented on an actor’s performance: “You could tell she didn’t like the character that she was playing. And you’ve always got to find something to love about who you’re playing to make it real.” Same goes for your audience. You won’t always be presenting or pitching to your tribe, to people you “like”—find the common ground and put your love there.

7. Never, ever admit to fatigue. 
I heard a very popular author open his talk, to a packed theatre, with “I’m quite tired, I’ve been on the road for a few days.” Instant downer. It made us feel guilty for keeping him up past his bedtime, or ticked that we spent $50 to hear a jet-lagged psychologist. I’ve done gigs on two hours of sleep, in the middle of a professional tragedy, stoned on Sinutab. You get up there and you SMILE, no matter what. You can collapse when you get off stage.

8. Stay in the lead as long as you’re on stage.
A few weeks ago I was speaking to a ballroom of university business students at The Four Seasons Hotel. As I was leaving the stage, a woman at the back of the room raised her hand. I’d just handed back my mic, but I gestured to take her question. She proceeded to tell me that I was dressed like a slob and not setting a good example to the students about personal branding. Not kidding. (And I looked HOT, BTW.) You could have heard a pin drop. Heckled! First time for everything.

“And how have you come to be here tonight?” I asked her. I figured she sneaked in. She mumbled something about being a mentor, and then she made a dash for the door, carrying her various tattered shopping bags. “Well,” I said to the stunned audience. “Now you have an example of what elegant is and what elegant isn’t. And that’s branding.” I didn’t exhale until I got in my car.

9. Plan your finish. 
Wrapping up can be the hardest part of a talk because you’ve either used up all of your good stuff, you’ve gone over time, or you have space to fill. Hold on to your closing gold nugget so you can leave on a high note either way.

10. Believe that people are rooting for you. 
It’s vastly true that every single person watching and listening to you wants you to be amazing. They want a great experience. No one likes to see someone bomb. They really do want you to win.

11. Go easy on the apologies.
This is a tricky one, because elegance is the numero uno concerno. But things like, “Sorry to keep you waiting,” “My apologies for the technical snafu,” can create more snags in your fabric. Sometimes, most of the time, it’s better to just keep going. An ice skater doesn’t apologize for slipping. She keeps skating, distracting you with the next great move.

12. Dress up.
When you’re on stage being well dressed says, “I cared about you enough to polish it up.” Sunday best.

13. Affirm, pray, focus, ommm. 
Whether it’s a staff meeting you’re leading or a concerto performance, a short pre-show ritual pulls your energy into your center. Before I take the stage I say this quickie prayer, “Help us shine.” That’s it. That covers me, the audience, and the world in one fell swoop.

14. Ask questions.
Frame your stories into questions and you’ve created a conversation.

15. Know how you want to feel when you’re done your presentation.
Ultimately, you can’t really control what the audience does and if try to, you’re likely to fumble. I’ve had what I thought were hilarious stories that didn’t get so much as a giggle. And I’ve had low-engagement audiences that swarmed me after I got off stage. You just don’t know.

What you can aim for is how you want to feel. And when you anchor into that feeling, your energy gathers a momentum and you get into the magical flow.

When I leave the auditorium, I want to feel like I connected, like I was divinely feminine, and innovative–on my personal edge. And if I did my best to be those things, then I can sleep well, even if I forgot to say thank you, or I tripped over a speaker, or got heckled by a bag lady.
