Reed Richards is also Mister Fantastic and he is the leader of the group. He’s a brilliant scientist and does
experiments in his garage. He can become thin like a needle and stretch his way out of trouble. His aim is to
use his powers to help people.
The Invisible Woman is Sue Storm. She is intelligent and independent. She’s beautiful with long fair hair and
she’s got two special powers. She can become invisible and generate force-fields.
Johnny Storm is Sue’s brother and the youngest in the
group, but he’s also very confident. People call him The
Human Torch. He’s a bit of a troublemaker and a thrill-
seeker. Johnny can fly faster than sound, shoot
fireballs, surround himself with fire and control it.
The Thing The Thing is Ben Grimm. He is Reed’s best friend. He
is sensitive and loyal. After the experiment, he is a huge creature with
a body of rock and superhuman strength. He is indestructible and he
can lift heavy objects and hold up bridges. He doesn’t feel any pain, but
he isn’t happy with his looks at all. Luckily, he still has his beautiful blue
eyes and friendly personality.

It’s night time in the land of the Sami. The stars shine brightly
on the Arctic tundra, which is covered in ice and snow.
Sparkling coloured lights are dancing across the night sky.
This is the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. “Look, the
wizards are at war!” say the Sami children, looking at the
lights as they remember a story from long ago.
One wintry night, the wizard Nischergurgje was wandering
over the tundra looking for a place to rest and cook. While
he was preparing his meal, he heard a strange sound above
him. He looked up and saw a horrible face grinning back at
him through the branches of a tree. It was Schlipme – the evil
wizard in the service of the wicked Moon Daughter. The
Moon Daughter ruled the underworld and she wanted
Schlipme to kill Nischergurgje. Quickly, Nischergurgje used
his powers, and Schlipme fell to the ground.
“Were you trying to kill me, Schlipme?” asked Nischergurgje.
“Me? The greatest wizard in these lands?”
“You are no longer the greatest,” said Schlipme. “This
morning, the Moon Daughter gave me the power of the Moon
Spirits. I came to challenge you to a fight to the death!”
“I accept your challenge,” Nischergurgje replied. “But you

A Hello everyone! I’ve been backpacking around Iceland for three
weeks now and I’ve just arrived in Reykjavik, so I finally have
some Internet access! I want to tell you all about something I saw
last night. I was sitting outside my chalet when I noticed strange
red and green lights in the sky. It was the Aurora Borealis – the
Northern Lights! It happens when particles from the Sun mix with
gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. It’s an amazing phenomenon –
like nature’s own fireworks display! And I managed to capture
a video of it on my phone! (05/02 12:30)

Outdoor activities
by Ted Phillips
Planet Earth is home to some spectacular places, and many of them need
our protection. Biological reserves are areas of land that do just that. They
protect the landscape in its natural state, and the plants and wildlife that live

there. One such reserve is the Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve in Chile, which
opened in 1999, and which covers an area of around 600 km2. I’ve just spent
a week here and I really don’t want to leave!
The reserve protects the local wildlife like the padú, the world’s smallest deer.
It is also a popular tourist destination. It’s like one big adventure park! Most of
the reserve is in the Chilean Patagonian rainforest, but nearby there are snowy
mountaintops and even a glacier and a volcano! And this wide variety of
1 climb a snowy mountaintop landscapes allows visitors to do a huge range of activities!
So far, I’ve trekked through the rainforest on foot and I’ve also explored the area
on horseback – stopping now and then to do some birdwatching! I’ve also gone
skiing in the snowy mountaintops and fished in the calm El Toro River. The
highlight, though, was when I went zip lining yesterday. It was scary but amazing
to travel high up over the rainforest – just like a bird!
My accommodation is also impressive . The reserve has eight hotels but I
chose to stay in a treehouse! I’ve never slept so peacefully in my life! And even
though it’s in the middle of a rainforest, the reserve has lots of facilities
including a gift shop, a spa and even a pizza restaurant! Wooden bridges
connect the buildings here, so you walk among the trees to get around!
All in all, the Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve is a unique holiday
destination which is perfect for adventure lovers. After all, where else
can you explore such different landscapes all in a single day?

The Great Barrier Reef is a natural structure like an

2 CLIL (Geography) underwater wall off the east coast of Australia. It is
made up of over 2,900 coral reefs stretching for around
2,300 kilometres. Coral reefs are made from billions of
VIDEO dead and living tiny plant-like animals called corals. The
coral reefs in the Great Barrier Reef have been growing
for around 20,000 years. In fact, the Great Barrier Reef
ray is the world’s largest coral reef system – you can even
see it from space!
The Great Barrier Reef has been a World Heritage Site
since 1981. Its coral reefs provide food and shelter for a
huge variety of sea life. It has around 1,500 species of
fish, 134 species of sharks and rays, and 30 species of
marine mammals like whales and dolphins.
Sadly, though, since 1985, the Great Barrier Reef has
lost around half of its coral, mostly because of climate
change. The Earth is getting warmer and even small
changes in water temperature can cause coral bleaching.
This is when coral turns white and dies. Experts say that
we need to reduce our carbon emissions now to save the
world’s coral reefs.
These days, over 33% of the Great Barrier Reef is off
limits to visitors. This is to protect it from over-fishing
and water pollution. People can still visit the rest of the
reef, though, and there are lots of things to do from
snorkelling among colourful fish to relaxing on sandy
beaches. One thing’s for sure – when you experience this
amazing wonder of nature, you’ll realise how important
it is to protect it for future generations.
