Some people live in a town environment; for others, their environment is the countryside. But the air we breathe, the soil on which we stand and walk, the water we drink are all part of the environment. Nowadays people understand how important it is to solve the environmental problems that endanger people’s lives. The most serious environmental problems are: pollution in its many forms (water pollution, air pollution, nuclear pollution); noise from cars, buses, planes, etc.; destruction of wildlife and the beauty of the countryside; shortage of natural resources (metals, different kinds of fuel); the growth of population. There is no ocean or sea which is not used as a dump. The Pacific Ocean, especially, has suffered from nuclear pollution because the French Government tests nuclear weapons there. Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear waste. Britain alone dumps 250,000 tons of industrial waste straight into the North Sea. This poisons and kills fish and sea animals. “Nuclear-poisoned” fish can be eaten by people. Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. Fish and reptiles can’t live in them. There is not enough oxygen in the water. In such places all the birds leave their habitats and many plants die. If people drink this water they can die too. It happens so because factories and plants produce a lot of waste and pour it into rivers. So they poison the water. Factories use clean water. After the water is used it can become poison which goes back into rivers and seas.

For a long time people thought that monkeys and apes belonged to the same species of animals, but scientifically speaking it is not so. Monkeys are smaller than apes, they have long tails which they often use as an extra “hand”. They easily use both their hands and feet if they want to take something. Monkeys and apes are primates. They live in the tropics, especially in rainforests. Apes and monkeys are common in tropical Africa and Asia. Monkeys also live in South America. Probably the most interesting of all are great apes. This group includes the chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan. Apes are the only primates that are humanlike. They look like us, are tailless and have the same diseases as people. All apes sleep at night. Some of them make platforms in the trees, others make nests on the ground. Apes mostly eat plants and sometimes kill small animals, like insects, for food. Chimpanzees and gorillas spend more time on the ground than in the trees and walk on all fours. Apes have just one young, or, from time to time, twins. They travel in family groups of 30 or 40. Apes live 30 years or more. They carry their babies in one arm like human mothers or place them on their backs. Chimps are very curious and often friendly and peaceful. Gorillas become aggressive only when they defend their territory. Apes are very clever animals, second only to humans. They can understand the vocabulary of up to several hundred words and symbols. Chimps often use branches, stones and boxes on which they stand to get their food. Some scientists even believe that apes can count.

Well, here I am at the scientific research station in Antarctica, the coldest, windiest, and driest continent in the world! It's summer right now, so the weather is quite 'mild' - it's 0°C today! There are still a lot at gales, though, and of course, the sun never sets in the summer, which is really weird! Despite the freezing cold, the scenery and wildlife here are incredible. There are seals everywhere and yesterday I saw a humpback whale. Everyone is warning me about the winter here! The temperature will drop to about -40°C and the sun won't rise at all. There will only be 20 of us and we won't have any visitors for 7 months. It'll be difficult, but at least I'm going to be very busy. As a marine biologist, I’m going to study the way marine wildlife adapts to extreme temperatures. I'm also going to do a survey of the threatened Emperor Penguin. I can't wait to start! Tomorrow, all the newcomers are going on a survival course for a week with ski-doos and sledges. We're going to camp in the snow and learn things like what to do if we fall down a crevasse. I hope there won't be a blizzard like the one we had on my first day here. Well, bye for now! I'll tell you all about the course when I’m back at the research station next week.

It is surely the most exciting celebration of the year. Preparations for the celebrations start early on the 31st of December. People clean their houses and throw out old unwanted things. They also bake special shortbread biscuits and a rich fruit cake called 'Black Bun', to share with family and friends on the big day. On the night of Hogmanay there are live concerts and fabulous carnivals in the streets of all Scottish towns. A lot of excited people get dressed up in colourful costumes. In some cities there is also a long torchlight procession through the streets that crowds watch excitedly. As soon as the bells chime twelve, everyone kisses and heartily wishes each other a Happy New Year. Then people join hands and proudly sing the traditional song ‘Auld Lang Syne’. After that, there is a stunning fireworks display which is the icing on the cake. On the 1st of January people visit friends and neighbours to wish them luck for the New Year. Hogmanay is certainly a great celebration. People feel happy to be with friends and family and look forward to a good year full of success.
