Title 1

The first edition of "OUR ENGLISH MAG" comes to live after two months of intense work. A group of 18 journalists and reporters in year 5 at Emilia Pardo Bazán School have created an exclusive article each for this magazine. Therefore, you can find a wide variety of issues through your reading: food, animals, sports, books, superheroes, legends, pollution, amazing countries, weather, expeditions, cinema, videogames... The guidelines they had to follow were simple:

- choose a topic you like

- do some research about it

- write a short article in English

And the results couldn´t be better!!! You have in your hands an incredible magazine written totally in English full of amazing articles. But, and here is the great novelty, you can read it and listen to it. Yes! Every article comes with an audio recorded by the author! You only have to click in the image of the loudspeaker that appears on every page to hear it. Isn´t it incredible?

Very many thanks to all the collaborators who, voluntarily, have made this dream come true with their effort. This activity is part of the English classes, as a way to improve the learning of this language.

THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE A GREAT TEAM!!!

I lived in a place called Diani Beach, which was a very beautiful place to live. It had monkeys, bushbabies, bats, snakes and monitor lizards. The type of snakes you could find there were the black mamba, the green mamba, common cobra, the real cobra... At the beach there was a very long coral reef with many beautiful fishes.

They speak a very strange language called Swahili. I think all of us have heard the phrase "hakuna matata"; well, that in Swahili means "no problem". Another interesting thing are the tribes, the most famous ones are the Masais and the Samburus.

ALL ABOUT KENYA

Kenya is a country in the south of Africa. It´s a big country that has many different animals. The capital city is Nairobi, but there are other cities like Mombasa, Malindi, Samburu... There aren´t many historic buildings and there aren´t any zoos because they´ve got safaris.

Time to talk about pollution! There are many types of pollution:

Today we are gonna talk about water pollution.

There are many ways in which humans pollute the water, above all, the sea. For example, throwing garbage into the sea, with the ship´s accidents or throwing sewage water.

Every year the level of pollution of the sea grows and the number of people who clean the sea also.

How can we stop the sea pollution?

We can stop the pollution complying this standars:

- Prohibition of polluting chemical and physical products

- Use clean and reneweable energy

- Gray water treatment and purification

- Pursue and prevent overexploitation of aquifers

- Responsible use of water

- Use natural soaps and cleaning products

Remember to take care of the sea and the oceans!

Today I am going to talk about Geronimo Stilton's books. Geronimo Stilton is a series of books for children up to 14 years old. They were originally published in Italy by Edizioni Piemme, in the year 2000. As indicated in the books, the protagonist's last name derives from Stilton cheese.

THE HISTORY OF VIDEOGAMES

Videogames are the most famous method of entertainment since the 80s to the present. In the year 1958 a physic called Willy Higinbotham invented the videogames. They were tris, Pac-Man, Super Mario... But this is the next.

I'm sure that you play videogames. The videogames are harmful for your eyes, but it is not important if you do exercise.

Minecraft, a videogame, has got 13,000,000 of copies, Cup-Head has got another 11.000.000 copies and Ark has got 16.000.000 copies too. These are the most popular videogames in the world.

Videogames can help you improve your reflexes, space control, and in some cases your driving skills. However there are some cons to mention: they can become addictive, they can make you more violent and anxious, they can decrease your concentracion and you can mix reality and fantasy and make them dificult to distinguish. But, fortunately, this only happens if you spend many hours playing videogames.

Platypuses are incredible animals.

They are very cute animals, but they have a spur on their hind legs that contains poison; luckily it is not fatal (for humans), but it does cause severe pain. Besides they have the hind legs in the form of haunches to swim faster.

Platypuses are small and fast animals native to Australia and Tasmania. Its body is a mix between duck, otter and beaver; in fact, the English colonists who arrived in Australia thought it was the mischief of a child who had sewn a duck's peak and a beaver's tail to an otter.

Rhythmic gymnastics was created in 1962 by The Internacional Gymnastics Federation and is one of the best known sports in the world with football and swimming.

One of the best Spanish gymnasts is Almudena Cid.

Rhythmic gymnastics involves risk, trust, companionship and sacrifice, among other things.

The mythical ship of the explorer Ernest Shackleton was located by an international expedition at a depth of 3,000 metres in a very good state of preservation.

The remains of the ship with which Ernest Shackleton tried to cross the Antarctic continent at the beginning of the 20th century, have been found in the Antarctic, 106 years after it was crushed in pack ice and sank during the expedition.

The archaeologists and technicians located the wreck at the bottom of the Weddell Sea using undersea drones. Battling sea ice and freezing temperatures, the team had been searching for more then two weeks in a 150 a square-mile area around where the ship went down in 1915.

With this discovering we need to remember the 69 expedition dogs, the really forgotten heroes.
As Ernest Shakelton said "It's the journey and not the destination that is important".

An international expedition found the remains of the Endurance.

Women's football was created in 1892 in Glasgow (Scotland).

It was in 1894 when the first women's football team in the world was created. It was founded thanks to Nettie J.

One of the best woman football player is Alexia Putellas.

The team was called "HONEYBALL" and was presided by a woman named Lady Florence Dixie.

INVISIBLE SOULS

About 280.000 dogs and cats are abandoned or lost in Spain every year. Hunters leave old dogs that can't hunt. There are people that buys expensive dogs for their kids and relatives, and they leave them when the dogs aren't funny, then they take it to the dog shelters.

Dog shelters have lots of animals, because some people don't want old and ill dogs. They stay there for the rest of their life until they die. These animals are called: invisible dogs. This happens because much people don't sterilize their pets, appearing many puppies that are not wanted.

Also, much people don't treat their pets like family members. They see them like use and throw things. A new law considers pets as family members, and put several sanctions if someone tortures an animal.

Animals suffer when they are left, because they don't understand why they are suddenly in a cage when the night before they were in their bed so happy.

Much people should learn from them because they give us love and fidelity.

Three teenagers encountered this place and two of them broke in; the third one waited outside. He waited for them for hours, with no signs of them coming back, until he decided to enter and find them. The teenager was able to search in all the sections, but with no sucsess. He did find one of his friend's cellphones and, while looking through it, he was in shock when he saw a photo of a monstrous anomaly witch manifested itself in the back rooms of that Neb's Fun World. It was a gigantic human-looking vertical mouth with crooked teeth that manifested in an open doorway, with the words "The Smile Room" written above the door.

Sometimes, people prefer to stay with friends, and that's completely fine! But if you are alone, the books will ever be with you! So if you have a book, you will have a friend!

The UEFA Champions League is the most important club championship in Europe. The first edition was the 1955/56 season, which was won by Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, ​​also the most successful club in the competition, with 13 titles. The winner, apart from lifting the trophy, qualifies for the Club World Cup and the European Super Cup.

In the history of the Champions League, a total of 513 teams have participated in it. The team that has scored the fewest points has been FC Avenis Beggen, from the Luxembourg neighborhood of Beggen, which, in 6 seasons, has not scored a single point, scoring one goal and conceding 56 in 12 matches..

The top scorer in the Champions League is Cristiano Ronaldo, with 140 goals celebrated with the kits of Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

A team can qualify for the UEFA Champions League in several ways. Via national competition, which depends on the country, they qualify directly or through previous rounds. There are some countries, it depends on how many Champions have teams from that country, a certain number are classified. You can also qualify via national competitions, since the winner of the UEFA Europe League (second division of European clubs) and the winner of the Champions League qualify directly for this tournament.

As I said in the previous section, not all food is the same. There are foods that are wonders for almost everyone. The number 1 and the most popular is the hamburger, the 2 is the pizza, the 3, the sushi, the 4, the paella, the 5, the fondue, the 6, the burritos, the 7, the chop suey, the 8 , the paisa tray, the 9, the ratatouille and the 10, the ceviche. Have you tried any?

Normally, the food we eat does not surprise us, but not all food is like that: there are some amazing foods created by expert chefs or pastry chefs that you could never imagine. For example, have you ever imagined that earrings look like candy, or that what looks like a lemon is actually a cake?

Strange food

We come to the last part, where we are going to talk about the strangest and most exciting food in the world. You may have already seen some of the most disgusting food in the world, like for example fried tarantulas, the weirdest food in the world; number 2 is sheep's eye juice; number 3 is seahorse, starfish and scorpion skewers; number 4 is dried lizards; and number 5 is a drink , mouse wine.

Well, we've already talked about foods that don't seem like it and about the richest foods in the world, so now it's time to talk about the most disgusting ones. For example: Rotten salmon heads, Mud pies, fried tarantulas, or casu marzu - cheese with maggots .

This car is not a normal car: the Nazis created this Volswagen for the army.

It is one of the best-selling amphibious cars but it wasn't that succesful

because they lost the World War 2.

They created this car for themselves in order to use it in the war to go by water to attack the other civilizations without they even noticed it.

I don't really like this car

because it was used by the nazis and we all know that they were not honest.

Thank god they lost the war.

Ocean animals

There are many fantastic species in the ocean. Today we are going to talk about three:

1. The whale is a very large animal and feeds on at least a million fish because it is very hungry. They are also mammals that have a lot of hair but very thin.

2. The shark has a skeleton made of cartilage. That is why it has a lot of strength without making any effort. They usually have a powerful tail at the end and a set of three larger fins: dorsal (on the animal's back), and two pectoral fins (on the animal's chest).

3. And finally we will talk about the seal. They are friendly and intelligent marine mammals that live in many parts of the world, both polar and tropical areas and prefer to live in places where there is plenty of food for them.

The wonderful sea can be a terrible place for some people, to the point of generating intense discomfort and fear just thinking about it. This condition is known as thalassophobia: fear of the sea and the depths.

Thalassophobia is one of many phobic pathologies diagnosed in psychology. Other well-known phobias are claustrophobia, arachnophobia, coulrophobia or acrophobia. When a person suffers from a phobia, they can experience anxiety attacks, panic and even difficulty breathing when exposed to that situation that generates fear.

THALASSOPHOBIA
Although bathing in the ocean may seem like a great pleasure, not all people think the same.

The Mount of "San Pedro" passed, in 1933, into the hands of the army. Batteries with great cannons located on the coast were installed to monitor the space between Cape Prior and the Sisargas Islands. These batteries never saw war and, in 1999, the Mount of "San Pedro" municipal park was  inaugurated.
In this park, everything is integrated into large garden areas, in which a spectacular labyrinth of hedges and a pond stand out above all.

Another unique element is found in the vicinity of the park. It is an elevator with futuristic aesthetics and design, allowing an exceptional panoramic view.

I live in a town of wind and bright light

with clear crystal galleries.

Across the sky, white clouds sail.

Over the sea,  stars burn at night.

I live in a town beaten by the waves,

defiant of winds

and storms.

Drawing enigmatic paths,

the window panes the rain hits.

I live in a town suspended in the waters,

daughter of the sky and the sea.

One day, just like me, it will leave the land

and it will be flooded  with the waters.

Or it will wander the sea.
