25090127_1 — 2025-07-28 01:20:49 UTC

Every year, thousands of people try to climb the world’s highest mountain or walk across continents. Let’s take a look at some of the 21st century’s greatest adventures. Ed Stafford from the UK became the first person to walk the full length of the Amazon River. Technology was essential for Ed.He using a radio to connect with locals. As he walked, Ed wrote an blog about his daily experiences. Climbing high mountains requires a lot of preparation and is very dangerous, but some of the world’s best climbers are now looking for new challenges. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner form Austria fell in love with climbing as a teenager and has been climbing all 14 of the world’s highest peaks without oxygen and supports a charity in Nepal. Canadian adventurer Meagan McGrath has completed many challenges, including skiing to the South

Pole. Erik Weihenmayer from the USA, who has been blind since the age of 13, has climbed mountains, biked through deserts, and kayaked the Grand Canyon, while also helping other people with disabilities. Despite new technologies, these adventurers still face terrible weather, wild animals, and lack of food.

#1 Animals In The City

25090127_1 — 2025-07-28 01:22:03 UTC

Wild animals in cities can cause lots of problems. There have been many reports in newspapers and on TV about big animals coming into towns and cities. What happens when big animals come into our cities? Is it a good thing or is it dangerous for us and the animals? Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboon eat fruit from gardens and go into people's kitchens and take food. This makes the city safer for people and a lot of baboons will come back to the city to find food again. In Berlin in Germany, groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. Pigs eat flowers and plants and dig in gardens and parks in the city. They also walk in the street and cause traffic accidents. Some city residents like the pigs and give them food. But the city council is worried about the traffic accidents. They have told people to stop giving the pigs food and stop the pigs entering the city. In Moscow in Russia wild dogs live in parks, empty houses, markets and train stations. Some of the dogs were pets that people did not want, others were born on the streets and some dogs live alone and others live in packs. A lot of people like them and give the dogs food and water to drink. Some city residents have built small huts for the dogs to live when during the winter. For many big animals, cities are dangerous places and they need our help to return to the countryside.

#4 Dream

Dreams have always interested people, and while some believe they can predict the future, this is probably just coincidence since we dream thousands of times in our lives. Psychologists suggest that dreams may come from daily memories or from hidden thoughts in our subconscious, expressed through feelings and symbols instead of words. Keeping a dream diary and reflecting on the emotions and symbols in our dreams can help us understand ourselves better, and some people even try lucid dreaming to control their dream stories. In my opinion, dreams don’t tell the future but they do reflect our emotions and thoughts. They can be useful for understanding ourselves more deeply, though not every dream has a special meaning—sometimes they are simply random thoughts. Still, dreams are a fascinating way to explore the hidden parts of the mind.

#5 A Walk In The Forest

Grace enjoys walking her dog Benji in the forest, where she meets a boy named Mark. At first, he seems shy and disappears quickly, but the next day she sees him again and learns from the news that he is a missing boy from Manchester. Mark explains that his mother died, and his father now wants to marry a woman named Mel and move to London. Mark feels unhappy, unwanted, and does not want to leave his grandfather and friends in Manchester. Grace is unsure whether to tell her mother but decides to listen to Mark first. She feels sympathy for both him and his father, who is worried and searching for his son. In the end, Grace suggests that Mark could stay with his grandfather, which gives him hope and leads him to call his dad. I think Grace was brave and thoughtful, and her kindness helped Mark find a solution.

#6 Bad Secrets

25090127_1 — 2025-09-02 13:13:30 UTC

Maria often skipped sports class, pretending she had forgotten her kit, but the truth was she was hiding bruises and secret gifts like dresses and earrings from someone who controlled her through fear and constant messages. She felt trapped, too scared to explain where the presents came from or why she didn’t want to change for PE. In detention, Maria noticed bruises on Peter, a boy with a bad temper who often stormed out of class. She realised he might also be hiding something painful. This silent connection reminded her of her mother’s words: “Bad secrets are only bad until you tell someone.” At last, Maria decided to confide in her mother, taking the first step toward ending the nightmare and finding real help. This story is powerful because it shows how silence can make problems worse and how young people often feel guilty or afraid when they are hurt by others. Maria’s courage to finally speak out reminds us that secrets should not be kept if they cause harm. Trusting a safe adult is the first step toward freedom, safety, and hope.

#7 Graffiti And Street Art

25090127_1 — 2025-09-02 13:16:54 UTC

Street art has a long history, beginning with cave paintings and graffiti in ancient Rome. In the 1970s, it became popular in New York when teenagers started writing their names, or “tags,” on walls and subway stations. Soon, aerosol paint was used to create larger and more colourful works, spreading worldwide during the 1980s and 1990s. Over time, graffiti developed into street art, with many artists painting pictures to highlight social and political issues, while others aimed to brighten grey cities with beauty. Today, opinions about street art are divided: in some countries it is seen as vandalism and punished, while in others, legal spaces and festivals celebrate it. For example, Taiwan has graffiti zones, and São Paulo allows artists to paint subway trains. Street art has also entered galleries and international festivals, and artists like Os Gêmeos, Blek le Rat, and Faith47 have become famous worldwide. With the help of the internet, street art has grown into a global culture that connects young people across borders. I believe street art is more than vandalism. It is a powerful way of expressing creativity, culture and community spirit. Legal zones and festivals give artists freedom without damaging property, showing that street art is an important part of modern life.

#8 Happiness

25090127_1 — 2025-09-02 13:19:18 UTC

This passage explains that happiness is not just about fun but about balancing pleasure and purpose. Paul Dolan, author of Happiness by Design, says people often confuse enjoyable activities with real happiness, but purpose is equally important. For example, pilots have meaningful jobs but face repetitive tasks that are neither fun nor fulfilling. Students may also struggle with subjects they dislike, yet they can find purpose through teamwork or by making steady progress. The key is to decide what brings pleasure and purpose, design life around those activities, and actually do them. Balance doesn’t have to be 50/50, since some activities can give both. I agree with this view because pleasure feels good in the moment, but without purpose, life can feel empty and directionless.

#9 Life As A Youtuber

Jessii Vee is a Canadian YouTuber who has become popular by sharing funny and interesting stories about her life. Her videos have been watched more than 150 million times, and she gains thousands of new subscribers each month. Jessii spends her week planning, filming, and editing videos, and she also replies to fans and sometimes meets them in person. Although she once felt upset about negative comments on her appearance, she learned to accept herself and grew more confident. Jessii advises new YouTubers to stay safe online, protect their privacy, and focus on making videos about things they truly enjoy. Most importantly, she encourages people to be themselves. I think her story is inspiring because it shows how being authentic and positive can bring success.

#10 Love Is Blind

25090127_1 — 2025-09-02 13:25:42 UTC

Deshi has just moved from Shanghai to Boston, and his new life feels terrible. He struggles with English, doesn’t understand people’s accents, and feels lonely at school. He misses his old band and his best friend, Lang. When he practises guitar, his neighbour’s father complains, and Deshi thinks the neighbour’s daughter, Helen, hates him too. At school, things don’t improve: he fails a maths test, the English teacher shouts at him, and he cannot eat the cafeteria food. He often feels sad, especially when he remembers his father who passed away. One evening, Deshi delivers a letter to the building opposite and finally meets Helen. He is surprised to learn that she is blind and uses a white stick. Instead of hating his music, she actually likes it and apologises for her father’s complaint. This shows that even in difficult times, kindness and new connections can bring hope.

#11 The Text

25090127_1 — 2025-09-02 13:30:01 UTC

Amy didn’t usually enjoy Mondays, but this term was different because Kamal, the boy she liked, was in her art class. One afternoon, Kamal and his friend Grant invited Amy and her best friend Tara to see their graffiti project in an abandoned house. The place was creepy, and when Grant pretended to be a zombie, Amy became so frightened that she had an asthma attack. The next evening at the Halloween disco, Kamal supposedly sent a text message saying he was trapped and needed help. Because of the boys’ earlier prank, Tara and the others thought it was just another joke and ignored it. The next morning, the news reported that Kamal had died in the abandoned house. This story shows the danger of not taking messages seriously. While it’s true that not every text can be trusted, it’s always safer to check. Ignoring a warning could cost someone their life.
