You make them
People shop a lot. We buy clothes, food, music, mobile phones, and millions of other things - for what seems like a million different reasons. Obviously, we buy things because we need them. But sometimes it's just to fit in. Sometimes we buy stuff and we just don't know why. Everything we buy affects the environment, but some choices are better than others. We have the power to make those choices. We can.
Buy smart. Take some time to think before you buy something - maybe you don't really need it. Send a virtual e-card instead of a paper birthday card. Buy things that will last a long time, such as rechargeable batteries.
Share with friends. Maybe you and your friends like the same video games. Why don't you share or swap your games instead of buying one each?
Buy recycled. Fewer natural resources are used to produce recycled items, which helps the environment. Read the labels and choose recycled!
In 2002. 90% teenagers reported buying a product for a good cause. What have you been doing since?

Rob and the old man

Rob: Hello! Is anybody here?
The old man: Hello, young man. How did you get into this awful place?
Rob:I am a wizard! I predicted the future for the Queen and she wanted to send me to the Tower. I had to run away. Her soldiers caught me last week, because I was very tired and couldn't walk any more.
The old man: You're not a wizard, you're a scared little boy! I feel sorry for you. Everything is ready for your execution.
Rob:You're just a horrible old liar! They can't kill me. It's all a bad dream!
The old man: You're not very polite, but I forgive you. I can see something strange in you. How did you make the predictions for the Queen? Tell me your story and I'll help you.
Rob: Please, please help me! You're really a nice old man and I don't want to die. Life is so good and I am so young!

invented. The earliest map that we know of is a cave painting on the Lascaux caves in France. The painting shows a part of the summer night’s sky 16500 years ago. Modern astronomers can still understand the night sky shown in the map. A four thousand year old map made by the Ba¬bylonians is still in existence. Many ancient map-makers thought that the world was flat, but explorers like Magel¬lan in the 15th century sailed around the world and helped to make better maps. Besides, measurements taken by satel¬lites show that our planet Is slightly pear-shaped. Satellites have also provided more accurate Information and have helped to see and map parts of the world that were lit¬tle known or never seen by humans before. Satellites have photographed the Amazon rainforest and have shown that the area the size of twenty football pitches is being cut down every minute. Pictures taken from space have also shown that one of the world's largest areas of inland water, the Aral Sea, has been shrinking very quickly. Modern satel¬lite maps show the effects of global warming and pollution and help us to understand the world around us better. More and more drivers nowadays rely on satellite navigation in their cars so the traditional road maps may not be around much longer.

parts of the system. The denser cold water sinks to displace the heated water, which is forced to rise. In this way, a circulation of water is set up-the process known as convection. The water rises up the primary flow (PF) into the hot-water storage cylinder, or tank, and is replaced by water descending the primary return (PR). If a temperature difference is maintained between the water in the primary flow and that in the primary return, then the process will continue. This is called the primaty circulation and it is made more effective by connecting the primary flow to the upper region of both the boiler and the cylinder, and the primary return to the lower region of each. If a draw-off point is opened, water will be forced from it because of the height of the water in the feed lank (often this tank is also the building's main cold-water storage cistern). The hot-water supply is drawn from the top of the storage cylinder, where it collects because its density is lower than that of the colder water.

Heating water causes the dissolved air contained in cold water to be released. Consequently, a vent pipe has to be taken from the top of the storage cylinder and carried up above the level of the water in the feed tank. The pipe allows air to escape from the system and, as a result, prevents the formation of air locks. A safety valve, set to operate at a certain pressure, is fitted to the system. Also, a draw-off point is fitted at the lowest part of the system so that it can be drained.

He didn’t want her to meet a handsome young man and fall in love. So she stayed locked in the palace and the people of the city never saw her. But they talked about the poor, lonely princess and they were sad.
