English across the curriculum 0IY: migrat-0

Read the text. Find three reasons why animals migrate.

a Match the animals in A to the c1assifications in B.

A 1 a wildebeest 2 a salmon 3 a monarch butterfly 4 an Arctic tern 5 a swallow 6 a zebra

B

a bird an insect a fish a mammal

We call this migration. In Africa, large mammals, like elephants, zebras and wildebeests, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same routes every year.

A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds, like swallows, that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds f1y south to southern Europe and Africa.

Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel

50-65 km each day and they travel about 1,125 km.

b Where do salmon, monarch butterflies, Arctic turns and swallows migrate from and to?

C Answer the questions. How many days does it take a monarch butterfly to fly to Mexico at 60 km per day7

2 How far is it from the Arctic to the Antarctic7 If an Arctic tern lives for six years, how far does it travel in its life7

~Animal migrations

Alot of animals travel from one place to another. Some fish migrate to breed. Salmon can swim over 20,000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other piaces in northern Europe. The

young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river. Other fish can't eat them.

Arctic terns travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36,000 km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it. :

1 Victoria an airport 2 the M6 astation 3 Eurostar a motorway 4 Heathrow a train

2 Read the texts again. Are the statements true or false 01' doesn't it say? 1 Cars in Ireland travel on the right. 2 All European countries changed to the right in the

18th century. 3 Drivers pay to use five motorways in Britain. 4 Waterloo is the central station for London. 5 Britain has got anational railway company. 6 The Channel Tunnel opened in 2001.

Railways Britain has got the oldest railway system in the world. It began in the 18405. The main railways connect London to other eities in Britain. LJke many (arge cities, London hasn't got a central station. Thls is because different cornpanies built the rallways, and they all had their own station in London. Vietoria and Waterloo, for examp[e

, are

the stations for trains to the south. Jf you want to 90 to the west, however, you have to 90 frorn Paddington. Taday, Britaln hasn't got anational railway eornpany. Instead, over 20 private companies run the trams.

YOLl ean also take atrain from London through the Channel Tunnel to Paris and Brussets on a Eurostar train. These trains go from the Eurostar terminal in St Pancras.

3 Compare the information about transport in Britain with your own country. Answer the questions. 1 What side of the road do people drive on 7 2 What are the popular ways of travelling 7 3 How do people travel to other countries?

7 London has got two airports 8 Frankfurt is busier than Heathrow.

Airports There are several big airports in Britain. Landon has got five airports. Heathrow is the biggest. It's the busiest airport in Europe. A plane takes off 01' lands there every 75 seconds.

~~

Roads vehicle.s in Britaln and ireland travel on the left ofthe road, so the steering wheel is on the right. WhV is this? When people travelled on horses, evervbodv travelled on the leFt, so your right ann was free to use a sword. You normally get on and off a horse on the left side, too, so Vour left side had to be dose to the side of the road. However, in the 18th centurv farmel's In Frahee started to use earts with teams of horses. The driver sat on the left-hand horse so that his right hand was free to control the other horses. He needed to travel on the rtght so that he was in the middle of the road and could make sure that he didn't hit other earts. Slowly most countries ehanged to the right, but several European countries, including Portugal, Italy, Hungary and (former) Czeehoslovakia still travelled on the left until the 1920s and 1930s. The most important roads in Britain are the motorwavs. In

some countries vou have to paV atoll to use the motorways, but in Brttain and Ireland most ofthern are free.

Venus is about the same size as the Earth and it's our nearest neighbour, but it's very different. Venus has a thick, poisonous atmosphere and nothing can live there. The temperature on Venus is about 5 'e.

The Earth has a diameter of 12,756 km. It takes approximately 6 daysto go round the Sun.

Northern Ireland? 5 What is the capital of The Republic of Ireland?

////////////////////////#////#///#//////////#////////////////////////,w/////#,aw///#//////////////////////////

There are several names for Britain: Britain, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, the UK. The official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Alot of people call the country 'England', but this is not correct. England is only one part ofthe UK. However, it is the largest part. There are four 'countries'in the UK - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland [or Eire) isn't part of the UK. It's an independent country.

London is the capital of the UK, as weil as England, but all the other countries have their own smaller capital cities, too.

Scotland: Until 1503, Scotland and England were separate countries with their own monarchs and parliaments. In that year, however, the English queen, Elizabeth I, died. She had no children, so her cousin, James VI, the King of Scotland, became King James I of England, too. In 1999, Scotland got its own parliament again. This can make laws about some things.

Wales: The English king, Edward I, conquered Wales in the 13th century. Many people in Wales, especially in the north, speak Welsh as their first language and all children must learn Welsh at schoo!. In some schools other subjects are taught in Welsh, too.

Ireland: Elizabeth I's armies conquered Ireland in the 15th century and it later became part ofthe United Kingdom. There were a lot of problems in Ireland in the 19th century and thousands of people ernigrated to the USA. In the 1920s, the south became an independent country [The Republic of Ireland ). but Northern Ireland is still part of the UK.

This is the British flag. People often call it the Union Jack. It's really three flags in one.

b i) Read and listen to the story. Put the pictures in the correct order.

ThetailorofSwaffharn Once upon a time there was a tailor. He lived with his wife and five children in the village of Swaffham. The tailor and his wife worked hard, but they never had enough money.

They lived in a small cottage. In the garden there was a big, old oak tree. The tailor often sat under the tree. One day he was sitting under the tree when he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, his wife came out of the house. She woke him up.

'Why aren't you working?' she said angrily. 'We haven't got any money for food.'

'Oon't worry,' said the tailor. 'We'li soon be rich. While I was asleep, i had astrange dream. In my dream a voice said: "Go to london Bridge. You'lI find treasure there.'"

'Oon't be silly,' said his wife. 'You can't leave everything and go to london.'

However, the next day the tailor packed his bag and set off to london. It was a long journey, but aher four days he arrived in the capital city. He went straight to london Bridge. There were lots of shops on the bridge in those days, so it was a busy place.

The tailor walked up and down the bridge all day, but nothing happened and nobody spoke to him. The next day, as he was walking a'long the bridge, two boys suddenly ran towards him. They pushed him and they stole his bag. Then they ran away into the crowd of people.

a

The tailor sat down on the pavement. " had very littJe money when I arrived,' he thought. 'Now I haven't got anything.'

While he was sitting there, somebody spoke to him. It was one of the shopkeepers. 'What are you doing?' he asked. 'I saw you yesterday. You were walking up and down the bridge alt day.'

The tailor told the shopkeeper about his dream. 'That's silly,' said the shopkeeper and he laughed. 'you
