Most books were in Latin or French, but the local people spoke
English. The Normans married local people, and they began
to speak English too. In about 1386, Chaucer became the first

was the official language.
From 1600 to the 1950s, the British Empire controlled lots of
countries around the world. People in these countries learnt
and their languages English because it was the language of the government. But
35 the Empire changed English too – new words came into the

like York and Norwich. Today, there are about 500 Viking
words in English, like window and egg.

Alligator catching
June 15th, 9:15
I’m driving through Fort Lauderdale, Florida with two alligator catchers:
Ryan Yates and his 17-year-old daughter Jenny. It’s a hot Saturday
afternoon, and most people want to relax in their swimming pools. The
problem is that alligators like swimming pools too!
5 There are 1.3 million alligators in the rivers and canals of Florida. They
often get into swimming pools to stay cool. Ryan stops the van outside a
big, expensive house. In the pool, there is a three-metre alligator!
Slowly, Ryan puts a rope around the alligator’s mouth. Then Jenny and
Ryan pull it out of the pool. Tomorrow, they will take the alligator to the
10 Florida Everglades National Park – far away from people.
Flying with the smoke jumpers

August 20th, 10:30
Every summer, there are hundreds of forest fires across America. A lot of the
fires aren’t near any roads. Special firefighters, called smoke jumpers, have
to fly to the area. Then they parachute into the forest! The smoke jumpers
cut down trees and start small fires so that the big fire can’t spread.
15 This week I’m with a team of smoke jumpers in Grangeville, Idaho. Most
of them are students, and smoke jumping is their summer holiday job!
One of the students, Chris, is showing me the parachute room when the
alarm rings. Everyone takes a parachute and runs towards the plane.
There is a big fire about fifty kilometres away.
20 ‘Come and watch us jump,’ shouts Chris. Fifteen minutes later, we are
flying over the mountains. The forest is burning below us. The pilot turns
the plane after the smoke jumpers jump out. I look out of the window
and see ten white parachutes below us.
On ski patrol
November 12th, 11:30
This weekend, I’m with the local ski patrol in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Over
25 30 centimetres of snow fell here last night. And too much snow on the
mountains can start avalanches. P.E. student and ski patroller Darren Miller
and I leave early in the morning. Darren has a rucksack full of dynamite!
‘Ski patrollers usually look after people on the mountain,’ says Darren.
‘But sometimes we go out and start avalanches! You start an avalanche
30 when nobody is there. Then it doesn’t happen later when there are skiers
on the mountain.’
Later, I watch Darren from a safe place near some trees. He throws some Glossary

I’ve come to the Science Museum in London to find out about

the history of computing. It’s a great place to visit. There are
models of some of the world’s oldest computing machines –
and you learn a lot of surprising facts too. Did you know that
5 in the 1800s, ‘computers’ were people, not machines?
‘Computers’ were often young women. They did calculations
for places like banks. But it was hard work to sit at a desk all
day and do Maths, and when the ‘computers’ were tired they
made mistakes. In the 1820s, an English mathematician called
10 Charles Babbage began to design calculating machines. His
idea was simple – machines don’t get tired so they don’t make
mistakes.
Babbage also invented computer memory and a simple
computer program. Babbage’s program used cards with holes
15 to tell machines what to do. Unfortunately, he never finished
any of his machines, but he left a lot of instructions and
drawings. Two hundred years later, engineers at the Science In 1981, IBM produced the world’s first home computer, the

At the start of the 1800s, American settlers

crossed dangerous rivers and high mountains, and
many settlers died. Others built farms and towns
across the new states. Some of them also began to
live in Spanish colonies, like Texas and Florida.

The Apollo
SPACE PROGRAM
On Monday 21st July 1969, Apollo astronauts
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first
people in history to walk on the Moon.
But the race to the moon started eight years earlier:
5 on 12th April 1961, the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin
became the first person to go into space. Then on 5th May
1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space.
Only twenty days later, President John F Kennedy gave
his country a huge challenge: he wanted NASA to send a
10 man to the Moon before the end of the 1960s! It looked
impossible. Nobody knew how to send a spacecraft to
the Moon – or how to come back!
NASA called the program to go to the Moon ‘Apollo’.

Engineers designed a huge new rocket called the Saturn
15 V rocket. Its job was to take a new type of spacecraft –
called ‘Apollo’ – into space. The Saturn V rocket weighed Nine years after Kennedy’s challenge, Neil Armstrong
3,000 tonnes, and it’s still the largest rocket in history. and Buzz Aldrin walked on the surface of the Moon!
It was as tall as the Statue of Liberty, in New York! Sadly, 40 The astronauts stayed on the Moon for more than

25 On 19th July, 1969, after a journey of three days and 17. It left the Moon on 14th December, 1972. Since
350,000 kilometres, Apollo 11 began to orbit the Moon. then, nobody has been there.
The Apollo 11 spacecraft had two modules, called
Columbia and Eagle. One astronaut, Michael Collins had
to stay in Columbia and orbit the Moon. The other two
30 astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, had to get
into Eagle and go down to the surface of the Moon.
It was very dangerous to land on the Moon because there

are big rocks on the surface. Armstrong and Aldrin had to
find an area with no rocks. They didn’t want to crash on

Some criminals are very clever
and impossible to catch!
Al Capone
Alphonse Gabriel Capone’s parents were poor Italian
immigrants from Campania, but he became the richest
and most famous criminal in America. Capone was
born in New York in 1899. When he was a teenager,
5 he joined a street gang in Manhattan. Then, in 1919,
he went to Chicago to work for a gangster called Papa
Johnny Torrio. Capone bought a house in 1923, and his
wife and son moved to Chicago from New York.
Later, Capone became the boss of Torrio’s old gang –
10 the biggest criminal organization in Chicago. Even
today, casinos are illegal in many parts of the USA, but
from 1920 to 1933, alcohol was illegal too. This was
great for Capone. He opened illegal casinos and bars
all over Chicago, and he made millions of dollars.
15 Capone killed people, and for a long time nobody
could stop him. The poor people of Chicago liked
Capone, because he helped them and opened
kitchens to give them free food. He also gave
money to some Chicago police officers.
20 Finally, in May 1932, Capone went to prison for seven
years — not for killing people but for tax evasion!
When he left prison, he went to live in a huge house
in Florida until he died in 1947.

they worked as teachers. Then, in 1846, they
published a book of their poems.
To publish it, they had to use men’s

to publish work by women! Later,
Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre (1847),
Emily wrote Wuthering Heights
(1847) and Anne wrote The Tenant

are three of the greatest novels in

A very talented man

Benjamin Franklin is probably the most talented
man in American history. He was a musician, a writer, a
scientist and a politician. He was born in Boston on 17th
January, 1706, one of 16 brothers and sisters. His parents
5 were poor, so he only went to school for a year then he
was sent to work for his brother James.
Writer
James was a printer, and he and his brother started the
first newspaper in Boston when Benjamin was fifteen.
Benjamin wanted to write for the newspaper, but he was
10 only an apprentice, not a journalist. So he wrote letters at
night and signed them with an imaginary woman's name:
Silence Dogwood. The letters made the newspaper very
popular, but James still treated his brother very badly.
Scientist
In the end, Benjamin left James and went to
15 Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, he got married and became
very successful. He was in his early twenties when he He also wrote music and played the guitar, the violin and
started a printing business and a bookshop. Later, he the harp. In 1761, he built a new musical instrument, the

Franklin was very interested in politics. People often
call him the 'first American' because in 1754, he had
40 the idea that the American colonies could unite. Later,
Franklin went to Britain as a diplomat. There he worked
hard for the American colonies. Back in Philadelphia
in 1776, Benjamin Franklin with Thomas Jefferson and
three other politicians wrote the American Declaration of
45 Independence. Then he went to Paris where he got French
help and money for America in the War of Independence.
Benjamin Franklin died in Pennsylvania in 1790, when he
was 84 years old.

San Antonio is a big city, so you can find food from

‘cowboy’ cooking from Texas. My favourite Tex-Mex
restaurant in San Antonio is the Jacala Restaurant.
It’s in the centre of town, on West Avenue, and it’s
one of the oldest restaurants in San Antonio.
At the Jacala, they make great chicken and fantastic
beans and rice, but my favourite dish is Huevos
rancheros. You make it with beans, potatoes and
eggs, and you eat it with a tortilla – that’s a type of
bread. It’s delicious! The Jacala isn’t a big restaurant
and it’s very popular, so sometimes you have to wait
for a table! But that’s OK – the food is excellent!

The River Severn

The Severn is the longest river in the UK. It starts in the
Cambrian Mountains in Wales, and it goes 354 kilometres to
the sea, near Bristol in England. The Severn estuary divides
Wales and England.
One hundred years ago, the Severn was very important to
the area because boats carried products, people and animals
along the river. Today most people visit the river to go
walking or fishing.
But the Severn is famous for its tidal waves too. A few
times a month, an enormous wave goes up
the river from the sea. The biggest waves
of the year go 40 kilometres inland.
Sometimes a wave moves at more than
30 kph or is 10 metres high.

the German engineer Karl Benz used an internal
combustion engine to move a new kind of machine
– ‘the automobile’. Karl Benz’s invention also used a
new type of fuel – petrol. Today, factories around the
world produce about 60 million cars and 20 million
lorries a year: and most of them have petrol engines.
Cars have made it much easier for everyone to travel,
and lorries bring products to our supermarkets and light bulb
shops. But they have brought problems too. A lot of
pollution is produced when petrol burns. Also, petrol is
made from oil, and we have already used most of the
oil in the world. We only have enough oil for the next
