Very strange animals
Peacock mantis shrimp This beautifully colored animal is a marine crustacean that lives mainly in the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is found at depths of 3 to 10 meters. It digs a U-shaped burrow* and camouflages* itself among the many colors of the coral to avoid danger. Its body ranges in color from emerald green to sky blue, with patches of orange, red, white and blue: its colors change depending
on the perspective, just like peacock feathers and the wings of some butterflies. Its large eyes on its antennae give the peacock mantis shrimp very precise 3D vision, allowing it to hunt extremely well. It has a record-breaking ability: it strikes as fast as a bullet* (80 km/h in one millisecond) and with enormous force!
Its scientific name is Odontodactylus scyllarus, but it is also known as the mantis shrimp or peacock mantis because its antennae look like those of the praying mantis*. info@elilanguagemagazines.com ELI srl, C.P. 6, 62019 Recanati, Tel.

I’m looking forward to helping you learn English with interesting articles, games, and activities! In the main article, you can read about some incredible discoveries that came about by chance, like Play-Doh or the color blue. The souvenir photo we brought home from Japan (page 6) is of the Fushimi InariTaisha shrine: wow! On page 10, we listen to the interview with Charli d’Amelio, who, from a simple homemade dance routine, became one of the most famous influencers in the world. We will also visit a remarkable region of the USA— New Jersey! And learn all about Australia’s biggest spring festival, Floriade! Are you ready? Let’s go!

The Kpop phenomenon Kpop Demon Hunters is a Netflix animated film (the most-watched in Netflix history, with 400 million views) with a simple plot: three young KPop (Korean pop) artists have a hidden life where they fight soul-stealing demons* and try to keep them away from our world with their voices. The film became a global phenomenon and, in 2026, the song “Golden” became the first KPop song to win a Grammy! For Halloween, many little girls wore their hair in purple braids like Rumi, the film’s protagonist along with Mira and Zoey. Not only that, but groups of boys and girls around the world learned the trio’s dance moves. Netflix even organized special screenings in theaters where audiences sang along, turning every viewing into a party.

New Jersey— the Garden State New Jersey, also known as the “Garden State”, is in the northeast of the USA and faces the Atlantic Ocean. Its beautiful beaches and fantastic farms are just some of the things that make it incredible… Let’s learn more about this region!
Lovely landscapes
New Jersey is well-known for its wonderful green farms throughout the state. The “Rutgers Tomato”— also known as the “Jersey tomato” or the “Rutgers Select”—is one of its most important productions*.

New Jersey is also important for its… residents! “Old Blue Eyes”— Italian-American singer/actor Frank Sinatra—was born in Hoboken, a city right across the Hudson River from New York. Rock stars Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen—also known as “The Boss”—were both born in the Garden State, as well as fantastic singer Whitney Houston. It is also the birthplace* of actors Danny De Vito, Jack Nicholson and action star Bruce Willis, who all used to live here!
Pork roll or Taylor ham? The correct name of this traditional food is a great topic of discussion among residents of New Jersey. But what is it and what makes it so popular? It is a processed, smoked meat product made of pork, salt, sugar, preservatives and spices. It is usually eaten as a sandwich with cheese and egg in the morning.

There is the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, with tall rides* and cartoon characters like SpongeBob throughout. Big Snow is a yearround indoor ski resort inside the mall.

Planning a trip to Japan? You can’t leave without taking a souvenir photo of one of the country’s most iconic and spiritual sites: Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine!
Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine It is the most important Shinto shrine* dedicated to Inari, the deity of rice, good harvests and business* success, and is located in Kyoto, Japan, nestled in the woods of a 233-meter-high mountain. The word taisha means large, because Japan has several shrines dedicated to Inari, often very simple ones, while this is the largest and most complex. It is said to be a true symbol of the country and taking a photo here is a must! The shrine is enchanting, both for its natural setting and for the seemingly endless row of orange torii* gates. Visiting at sunset is incredible because as the sun sets, the streetlights come on, gently illuminating the path up the mountain. The shrine is always open—it has no fixed opening or closing times—and is equally captivating at dawn. During these two times of day, there are fewer crowds, the light is unforgettable and you can hear the sounds of nature all around you. The Japanese call them sebon torii, meaning “a thousand torii,” because it seems there are thousands of them, both large and small!
Do I… or don’t I like it? Do you like this image? Would it look good as your phone or computer wallpaper? Are you familiar with this work? What strikes you about it? What don’t you like? Explain.
06
Begun in 711 by the Hata family on Mount Inari, the shrine was destroyed centuries later, along with many other buildings in Kyoto. The current shrine was inaugurated in 1400 and expanded across the entire mountain. It has been a National Treasure since 1909. Entering this orange tunnel is certainly like entering a never-ending fairy tale. Looking closely at the torii—some older (dating back to the Edo period) and others more modern—you can read inscriptions: they are the names of those who donated them. Along the path you can also see several statues representing foxes (kitsune), animals sacred to the Japanese and messengers* of Inani.

Discovered…
by accident!
For some it is “Prussian blue” because it was the colour of the military of the Kingdom of Prussia*. For the French it is “national blue” because it was the colour of Napoleon’s army, while for others still it is “Berlin blue”.
Do you think all the great discoveries and inventions in history are the result of years of study? Certainly most are but some... were born by chance! Let’s find out together which ones. The color blue
Up until 1700 in the West, painters had a problem: blue. No one knew how to create it in a laboratory: to obtain a beautiful blue, precious stones had to be broken using a very expensive process. But in 1706 in Berlin, everything
changes! The pharmacist Johann Diesbach is preparing a bright red color. To make it thicker*, he adds potassium salt. But the salt is contaminated with animal fat and the color suddenly turns blue! Diesbach thus changes… the history of painting.

Report
French fries
It’s 1853 in Saratoga, a small town in the state of New York. George Crum is an African-American chef working at Moon’s Lake House. A customer sends back a plate of French fries because they’re cut too thick. Crum has to start cooking them again. However, the fries come back a second time and he gets fed* up. He slices the potatoes so thin they’re impossible to eat with a fork and fries them anyway. The result? That dish becomes the most beloved on the menu, and Crum becomes a famous chef!
Corn flakes
It is 1895: Dr. John Harvey Kellogg works at a Michigan hospital. According to the doctor, following a good diet* leads to better behavior, so he goes into the kitchen and tests recipes with wheat, rice and oats for his patients. By mistake, he leaves some wheat dough in the kitchen and two days later, instead of throwing it away, he rolls it out and cooks it. The dough becomes crunchy and delicious: thus, corn flakes are born, which were not yet made from corn but from wheat. The patients love them and drink them in milk. A few years later, he tries corn... and now there are corn flakes!
Gore-Tex
It’s 1969 and Robert Gore is in charge of research and development at his family’s company. He needs to create an inexpensive hydraulic* tape but every time he pulls on the tape’s material (Teflon), it breaks in two. Robert gets tired of trying so for fun he quickly pulls it, and the material stretches 1000%! Gore realizes that the material, now widely used for sportswear and spacesuits, is super-stretchy and, more importantly, waterproof. This is a billion-dollar discovery called Gore-Tex, or “Gore fabric”!

Play-Doh
In 1920, Noah McVicker invents a soft, elastic, white and nontoxic material to clean wallpaper. Kutol becomes the most popular
wallpaper cleaner in the world. But time passes, and by the 1950s, no one is using it to clean wallpaper anymore. Wallpaper is now washed with soap and

The car launch*
In 1886, Karl Benz invents the automobile, but after two years he hasn’t sold any. People don’t trust him. A strong gesture is needed to make people understand this great invention. His wife, Bertha Benz, takes care of it: secretly, at dawn one August morning, Bertha pushes the car out of the house and sets off on a 100-kilometer journey. She stops at a pharmacy* to buy a substance instead of gasoline (gas stations didn’t exist!) and launchs the greatest invention of the time.
water. The product, in short, is no longer needed. Kay Zufall, a teacher and relative of the McVicker family, decides to try using Kutol to make Christmas decorations with her class: it works wonders! From a variety of colored Kutol, the beloved Play-Doh is born.
Mokha coffee
Mokha was a port in Yemen, on the Red Sea, where boats loaded with spices passed. European merchants loved a beverage made with dark, fragrant, roasted beans: they called it Mokha coffee. Everyone wanted to try it. It was delicious, fragrant and gave them a lot of energy. In Italy, centuries later, Mr. Bialetti invents a coffee maker that promises to make coffee as good at home as at the bar. The name? Moka, in homage to the ancient port that smelled of spices!

Floriade, Australia’s biggest celebration of spring

Floriade is a beautiful flower festival in Canberra to celebrate the arrival of spring… but not only that! It’s an entertainment festival and an incredible way to say hello to one of the best seasons of the

lake in the center of the town. There are many displays of flowering* bulbs and colorful sculptures. Visitors can walk through the gardens and get their first feeling of spring after a long winter. The scents* and colors give people a real sense of the new season.
Floriade comes from the Latin verb floriat or floreo, which means “to bloom” or “to blossom*”.
Fun facts about Australia! • It has 10,000 beaches. • Some of the world’s deadliest* snakes live there—more than 100 species! • Kangaroos—one of the nation’s most famous animals—can’t walk backwards! • It has pink lakes, like Lake Hillier in Western Australia. Its pink color comes from bacteria and algae in the water. • It has a fence*—Dingo Fence, which was built in the late 19th century to keep wild dingoes* away from sheep farms—which is longer than the Great Wall of China!
How it all started
This festival started in 1988. How? Christiaan Slotemaker de Bruine, a landscape architect with the Department of Capital Territory in Canberra, had an idea. He wanted to have an event which was inspired* by The Netherlands’ ‘Keukenhof’ garden—one of the largest gardens in the world. At first, it was just meant to be one festival to celebrate Canberra’s 75th birthday and Australia’s Bicentenary of European settlement. However, it became so popular that it turned into an annual event! Every year there is a different theme*. For the first year, it was ‘multiculturalism of the Nation’ and included Dutch and
Aboriginal floral layouts*. This year, Floriade will start on September 12 and the last day is on October 11.
