There's lots for teenagers to do at home and abroad! Trying new things like these is a great way to become more independent, explore your own interests and learn about other places and cultures. Here are just a few ideas. What about going to a festival? Camp Bestival and Larmer Tree are really teen-friendly. Camp Bestival has The Den, a dedicated area for 13-17 years olds, with music, DJs, workshops and activities - no adults allowed! The three-day Larmer Tree Festival has an excellent Youth Zone where you can chill out. I'd also recommend the Citadel Festival in London, which is a one-day event, so it's an ideal first- time festival. What could be better than hiking in beautiful places? The Youth Hostels Association (YHA) has over 200 places to stay in England and Wales, usually in shared rooms - over 750,000 under 18s stayed overnight last year. Last summer, I went youth hostelling for four days with a group of friends in the Peak District. We stayed each night at a different youth hostel, cooked all our own meals in the kitchen facilities and hiked during the day. Annual membership for under 26s is only £5 and you get discounts on coach travel as well as accommodation. A one-night stay costs less than £20, so it's a bargain. If you fancy travelling, there are plenty of group tours for teens! You don't have to organize anything - apart from booking it! There are adults to help you, but you get a lot of freedom to do what you want. Some tours even include volunteer programs, language programs or specialities such as photography, so there's something for everyone. One thing's sure - they're a great way of travelling overseas and meeting lots of other young people. If you're looking for a great option for independent travelling, then try InterRailing. My older sister has been travelling around Europe for three months now and she loves it! You can get a Global InterRailing Pass which gives you discounts on train travel in up to 30 European countries. If you just want to explore a single country in more depth, then get the One Country Pass - at around 36 euros it's great value for money. There are lots of websites where you can find cheap accommodation to make this another reasonably-priced holiday. 1. At Camp Bestival, 18 year olds are allowed into the Den.

You are going to read a newspaper article about a young professional footballer. For questions 1-10, choose from the people (A-D). Margaret Garelly goes to meet Duncan Williams, who plays for Chelsea Football Club A It's my first time driving to Chelsea's training ground and I turn off slightly too early at the London University playing fields. Had he accepted football's rejections in his early teenage years, it is exactly the sort of ground Duncan Williams would have found himself running around on at weekends. At his current age of 18, he would have been a bright first-year undergraduate mixing his academic studies with a bit of football, rugby and cricket, given his early talent in all these sports. However, Duncan undoubtedly took the right path. Instead of studying, he is sitting with his father Gavin in one of the interview rooms at Chelsea's training base reflecting on Saturday's match against Manchester City. Such has been his rise to fame that it is with some disbelief that you listen to him describing how his career was nearly all over before it began. B Gavin, himself a fine footballer - a member of the national team in his time - and now a professional coach, sent Duncan to three professional clubs as a 14 year-old, but all three turned him down. 'I worked with him a lot when he was around 12, and it was clear he has fantastic technique and skill. But then the other boys shot up in height and he didn't. But I was still upset and surprised that no team seemed to want him, that they couldn't see what he might develop into in time. When Chelsea accepted him as a junior, it was made clear to him that this was more of a last chance than a new beginning. They told him he had a lot of hard work to do and wasn't part of their plans. Fortunately, that summer he just grew and grew, and got much stronger as well.' C Duncan takes up the story: 'The first half of that season I played in the youth team. I got lucky - the first-team manager came to watch us play QPR, and though we lost 3-1, I had a really good game. I moved up to the first team after that performance.' Gavin points out that it can be beneficial to be smaller and weaker when you are developing - it forces you to learn how to keep the ball better, how to use 'quick feet' to get out of tight spaces. 'A couple of years ago, Duncan would run past an opponent as if he wasn't there but then the other guy would close in on him. I used to say to him, ''Look, if you can do that now, imagine what you'll be like when you're 17, 18 and you're big and quick and they won't be able to get near you.'' If you're a smaller player, you have to use your brain a lot more.' D Not every kid gets advice from an ex-England player over dinner, nor their own private training sessions. Now Duncan is following in Gavin's footsteps. He has joined a national scheme where young people like him give advice to ambitious young teenagers who are hoping to become professionals. He is an old head on young shoulders. Yet he's also like a young kid in his enthusiasm. And fame has clearly not gone to his head; it would be hard to meet a more likeable, humble young man. So will he get to play for the national team? 'One day I'd love to, but when that is, is for somebody else to decide.'' The way he is playing, that won't be long.

Read the text and match the statements with the correct option. There's lots for teenagers to do at home and abroad! Trying new things like these is a great way to become more independent, explore your own interests and learn about other places and cultures. Here are just a few ideas. What about going to a festival? Camp Bestival and Larmer Tree are really teen-friendly. Camp Bestival has The Den, a dedicated area for 13-17 years olds, with music, DJs, workshops and activities - no adults allowed! The three-day Larmer Tree Festival has an excellent Youth Zone where you can chill out. I'd also recommend the Citadel Festival in London, which is a one-day event, so it's an ideal first- time festival. What could be better than hiking in beautiful places? The Youth Hostels Association (YHA) has over 200 places to stay in England and Wales, usually in shared rooms - over 750,000 under 18s stayed overnight last year. Last summer, I went youth hostelling for four days with a group of friends in the Peak District. We stayed each night at a different youth hostel, cooked all our own meals in the kitchen facilities and hiked during the day. Annual membership for under 26s is only £5 and you get discounts on coach travel as well as accommodation. A one-night stay costs less than £20, so it's a bargain. If you fancy travelling, there are plenty of group tours for teens! You don't have to organize anything - apart from booking it! There are adults to help you, but you get a lot of freedom to do what you want. Some tours even include volunteer programs, language programs or specialities such as photography, so there's something for everyone. One thing's sure - they're a great way of travelling overseas and meeting lots of other young people. If you're looking for a great option for independent travelling, then try InterRailing. My older sister has been travelling around Europe for three months now and she loves it! You can get a Global InterRailing Pass which gives you discounts on train travel in up to 30 European countries.

You have to make a summary of the article from the Ecology magazine to retell it in the lesson. Choose the right options to convey the main ideas of the article. Do you believe in climate change? This may seem like an odd question for a climate scientist to ask, but it is one I am constantly asked now. The typical discussion starts: "I know that the climate is changing, but hasn't it always changed through natural cycles?" Then they will often give an example, such as the medieval warm period to prove their point. Those asking the question include a wide range of people I meet in the pub, friends, politicians and, increasingly, even some of those active in sustainable development and the renewable energy businesses. What I find interesting is that I have known many of these people for a long time and they never asked me this before. Recent studies show that public acceptance of the scientific evidence for man-made climate change has decreased. However, the change is not that great. The difference I find in talking to people is that they feel better able to express their doubts. This is very hard for scientists to understand. The scientific evidence that humanity is having an effect on the climate is overwhelming and increasing every year. Yet public perception of this is confused. People modify their beliefs about uncomfortable truth, they may have become bored of constantly hearing about climate change; or external factors such as the financial crisis may have played a role. Around three years ago, I raised the issue of the way that science can be misused. In some cases scare stories in the media were over-hyping climate change, and I think we are paying the price for this now with a reaction the other way. I was concerned then that science is not always presented objectively by the media. What I don't think any of us appreciated at the time was the depth of disconnect between the scientific process and the public. Which brings me to the question, should you believe in climate change? The first point to make is that it's not something you should believe or not believe in – this is a matter of science and therefore of evidence – and there's a lot of it out there. On an issue this important, I think people should look at that evidence and make their own mind up. We are often very influenced by our own personal experience. After a couple of cold winters in the UK, the common question was: "Has climate change stopped?" despite that fact that many other regions of the world were experiencing record warm temperatures. And 2010 was one of the warmest years on record. For real evidence of climate change, we have to look at the bigger picture. You can see research by the Met Office that shows the evidence of man-made warming is even stronger than it was when the last report was published. A whole range of different datasets and independent analyses show the world is warming. There is a broad consensus that over the last half-century, warming has been rapid, and man-made greenhouse gas emissions are very likely to be the cause. Ultimately, as the planet continues to warm, the issue of whether you believe in climate change will become more and more irrelevant. We will all experience the impacts of climate change in some way, so the evidence will be there in plain sight. The more appropriate questions for today are how will our climate change and how can we prepare for those changes? That's why it's important that climate scientists continue their work, and continue sharing their evidence and research so people can stay up to date – and make up their own minds. 1.
