　　Unit 5 (WB)

　　Wales is one of the four countries that form the United Kingdom. The Act of Union in 1536 combined West and East Wales into a single state. Wales was considered by the English and later Great Britain and the United Kingdom governments as a separate part of England and Cardiff was named in 1955 as its capital. Since then we speak of “England and Wales” where before only “England” was used.

　　Travelling from England, you will know when you are in Wales, because all street signs and names of railway stations are written in two languages: English and Welsh. Welsh is the original language of the people in Wales. The landscape in Wales is also different from England. While England is mostly hilly, the central parts of Wales are mountainous. It is here that we find the highest mountain in the UK. As it is impossible to grow crops on the mountains, Welsh farmers keep sheep instead. It is difficult to get around the steep mountain slopes, even in a jeep. So the Welsh sheep farmers use dogs to move the sheep from one field to another.

　　The weather in Wales is warmer and wetter than in other parts of Britain. This is because of the high mountains. The wind here usually comes from the southwest. As it moves across the warm Atlantic Ocean, the wind carries water from the sea. When this wind hits the mountains of Wales, the air rises causing rain to fall.

　　Wales is popular with holiday visitors. They go hiking in the mountains, or spend their summer days by the sea, swimming or sailing. People interested in history and architecture can visit some of the many historical sites in Wales. Most ancient castles and churches are open to the public. During the holidays, there are festivals too, with singing and dancing. Wales is often called “the Land of Song” and its people are famous for their love of poetry and music.

　　Unit 6 (SB)

　　Part 1

　　Hello! Greetings from the future! My name’s Mekanika and I live in the year 3044. Well, that’s what you would call it. We call it the year 58 AL. AL means “After Leaving”. You see, 58 years ago, people on the earth decided that they had to do something to save the people on the planet. There were so many people on the earth, and there was so much pollution, that the only way to keep the planet from dying was to send

　　people into space. My family was one of the chosen ones. About one third of the earth’s population was left back home, and the rest of us went into space. We’re now living in a new city on the planet Mars. Life here is very nice, and we are happy in our new home. We still keep in touch with the people on earth and some of us go back for short visits. The earth is better now, and the people back home are doing their best to clean up the planet. I was born here on Mars and I’ve never been to earth. My grandparents and parents tell me about the earth and it sounds like a beautiful place. When my science teacher told me that we could use our school’s time machine to send messages to the past, I wanted to send one to you and tell you about life here.

　　Part 2

　　Every morning, I have to get up at two o’clock. That probably sounds very strange to you, but, you see, we have a different time system here. We divide the day into eight parts. Two o’clock in the morning here on Mars is almost like six o’clock on earth. I eat breakfast with my family before I go to school. The food here is different from your food: we eat pills and drink juice to stay healthy. My history book says that you ate something called bread

　　and even ate meat from other animals! That sounds very strange to me. We don’t eat any animals here and I’ve never even seen bread. At three thirty I catch the school spaceship and fly to class. We don’t have schools and classrooms. We meet our learning guides (you called them teachers) in different places and solve problems together. I love school. My friends are wonderful and I like to think about the world in new ways. I also like creating things with my mind box (you called it a computer). I’m very interested in what you call “painting” and “singing”. Can you please tell me more about what they are? I’ve read about your life in my history book, but it’s difficult to understand how you lived such a long time ago. Could you please write to me and tell me about your life? Thank
