Water fights with elephants


People in Thailand celebrated the first day of their New Year. Local people and tourists painted drawings on
elephants and then they started water fights. People sprayed water on elephants and elephants sprayed
water on people. Some people enjoyed the celebration very much.
During the three day celebration, people also visit the temples and pour water on Buddha statues. This
celebration comes at an ideal time because in April it is the hottest month in Thailand. Temperatures can be
higher than 40C. So it is very nice to be cooled in such a cool way.

Physical Fitness


The body is an amazing object; the more you ask of it, the more it can do. If you are inactive most of the
time, your body will quickly become tired when it should be active. But if you are active many times each
day or week, your body will get used to the hard work and it will become easier to do. Children who want to
play active games with their friends should exercise regularly so they have the energy to play as long as
they want.

Many young people want to be physically active because it helps them look and feel good. Activity burns
more calories than just sitting , so it is important for keeping a healthy weight . Exercise also makes your
muscles and bones stronger and keeps your body in a good condition .

Physical activity also helps people stay healthy. Exercise strengthens the immune system , and helps the
body fight off illness . Daily exercise also helps people sleep better. Active students dont complain about
being tired. They have a good nights sleep and have the energy to work hard and have fun every day.

The Silk Road Ancient Trading Route Between Europe and Asia


The Silk Road is a name given to the many trade routes that connected Europe and the Mediterranean with the
Asian world. The route is over 6,500 km long and got its name because the early Chinese traded silk along it.
Although silk was the main trading item there were many other goods that travelled along the Silk Road between
Eastern Asia and Europe. In the course of time, medicine, perfumes, spices and livestock found their way
between continents.

The Chinese learned to make silk thousands of years ago. For a long time they were the only ones who knew
how to make this precious material. Only the emperor, his family and his highest advisers were allowed to wear
clothes made of silk. For a long time the Chinese guarded this secret very carefully.
The ancient Romans were the first Europeans who became aware of this wonderful material. Trading started,
often with Indians as middlemen who traded silk with the Chinese in exchange for gold and silver which they got
from the Romans.

Travelling along the route was dangerous. The hot desert, high mountains and sandstorms made travelling a
rough business. Most of the goods along the Silk Road were carried by caravans. Traders sometimes brought
goods from one destination on the Silk Road to another, from where the goods would be transported by
someone else. Over the centuries people settled along the ancient route and many cities emerged. Later on
there were fewer hardships to overcome, but by no means was it easy.
Religion, languages and diseases also spread along the Silk Road. Buddhism, which originated in India, spread
to China along this route. European traders probably brought the plague from Asia to Europe along the ancient
road.

In the early Middle Ages traffic along the route decreased because of the decline of the Roman Empire. Trading
along the Silk Road and became stronger again between the 13th and 14th centuries, when the Mongols
controlled central Asia. During the Age of Exploration the Silk Road lost its importance because new sea routes
to Asia were discovered.
