BONUS
Our reporter, Hannah Barker, joins a group of teenagers for a weekend survival course.
They have only been on the course for 36 hours, but they have already picked up some useful survival skills. They have learned to find water and make a fire. They have also learned how to build a waterproof shelter from branches and leaves. Now, it’s evening and everyone is sitting round the campfire chatting. ‘We didn’t sleep much last night’, says fifteen-year-old Beth Green. ‘We were talking and singing songs all night!’
Beth and her classmates are part of a group of students from Cherry Grove Secondary School. They are on a survival skills course organized by the Really Wild Survival Company. The course started on Friday morning and finishes on Sunday afternoon. The five teachers are all experts in survival skills.
As part of the course, students can also try out new activities. ‘I’ve already been kayaking’, says Sean. ‘I’ve done rock climbing,’ says Beth, ‘but I still haven’t tried out kayaking. I’m going to do it tomorrow. I don’t want to miss out on anything!’

Vegetarianism:
yes or no?
At my school, many people have become vegetarians. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being vegetarian?
Eating less meat and more fresh fruit and vegetables is healthier. Meat
production is bad for the environment, too,
because it uses a lot of water. Some people also
think that killing animals for food is cruel.
However, there are some disadvantages to this
type of diet. Firstly, it can be difficult to eat enough
nutrients if you don’t eat meat. Secondly, it’s not
always easy to find food that is 100% vegetarian.
To conclude, I think that being a vegetarian
has many advantages. However, vegetarians
have to choose their food carefully.
