I’m going to be a video game designer. I enjoy playing video games and I’m really good at drawing. I think I’m very creative, too.

1 Samantha Cristoforetti has several firsts to her name.

She was the first Italian woman in space and she was the first person who made an espresso on the International Space Station (ISS).

Samantha joined the Italian Air Force in 2001 and was one of their first women fighter pilots. She completed her basic astronaut training with ESA (European Space Agency) in November 2010.

During her training and her first mission on the ISS in 2014 and 2015, which lasted 199 days, she wrote a memoir Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut.

She went back to the ISS in the spring of 2022 for her second mission.

She served as commander during this mission, when she became the first European female commander of the International Space Station.

She landed safely back on Earth on the 14th October of the same year.

She completed her astronaut training with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in 2015 and in March 2019 she joined the crew aboard the ISS as a flight engineer. While in space, she carried out experiments into dark matter, pharmaceutical research and 3D biological printers. Together with Jessica Meir she also conducted the first all-female spacewalk.

Back on earth, she enjoys activities like climbing, sailing and surfing.

3 Jessica Meir has a list of incredible qualifications and had an impressive career before becoming an astronaut.

She has a Doctorate in Marine Biology and was Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School.

She took part in research flights on NASA’s reduced gravity aircraft and was an aquanaut in an underwater habitat as part of an Extreme Environment mission.

The NASA training which Jessica undertook to prepare her for her 205 days on board the ISS included scientific and technical lessons to learn the systems of the ISS, as well as physiological and survival training.

Native Americans The Native Americans are the people who first occupied North America before the arrival of the Europeans in the 15th century. They probably arrived, in a series of migrations at least 12,000 years ago, by crossing the bridge of land that once linked Siberia to Alaska. They then gradually moved south and east, settling in different areas of North America, such as along the Pacific coast, in the mountains and deserts of the southwest and along the Mississippi River.

Franklin D. Roosevelt • Barack Obama • George Washington • Kamala Harris • Abraham Lincoln 1 The president of the USA is elected every four years. The first president was in 1879. His portrait is on the $1 banknote.

Each of these areas had a different climate and landscape so the people adapted to their environment and lived by gathering food, hunting or fishing. The tribes wore different clothes, spoke different languages and developed their own distinct traditions and customs. However, after the arrival of the Europeans, all these Native American tribes became linked by a common and tragic history: millions of them died from epidemics, war and violence and they were forced to leave their ancestral lands.

5 The first Thanksgiving Day was in 1620.

6 The English colonies were more successful than the Dutch colonies.

After Columbus arrived in America in 1492, the next century was dominated by explorers and settlers. Following their conquest of Mexico, the Spanish moved into the south (New Mexico, California and Texas) and Florida. The French colonised Louisiana in the south, and the English founded settlements along the Atlantic coast. Their first successful colony was Jamestown in Virginia in 1607. The Pilgrim Fathers arrived from England on the ship The Mayflower in 1620 and established a colony in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

A year later, these settlers had what is now known as the first Thanksgiving Day when they celebrated a harvest festival.

The Dutch also established colonies on the east coast in areas which are now in the states of New York and New Jersey. New Amsterdam – a part of modern-day Manhattan – became an important trade centre for the Dutch.

7 The relationship between the colonisers and Native Americans was always peaceful.

So, what can you do at home on Energy Saving Day? It’s not just about turning off lights or unplugging devices (although those things help!). You can also reduce your energy use by cooking smarter – try using a microwave or a pressure cooker, as they consume less energy. Another way is by using natural light during the day instead of turning on lamps. Try to use energy-efficient appliances, like LED bulbs and energy-saving refrigerators, which help reduce energy use in the long term. Small actions like these can help save energy and protect the planet!

What can I do on Energy Saving Day? • Organizes a No electricity hour at home: get your family involved by turning off all lights and devices in the house for an hour – play a board game or read a book instead!

• Start a recycling project: recycling materials saves energy – it takes less energy to recycle materials than to make new ones!

• Share tips and facts about energy saving with friends online: encourage others to join the cause to make an even bigger impact!

3 What other ways to save energy can you think of?

Another reason why saving energy is important is to make sure there is enough energy for everyone in the future. Some people, especially in poorer countries, don’t have any energy at all. By saving energy, we can make it more affordable and accessible to everyone. This way, more people can have access to essential things like light, heat and electricity, which we use every day.

Protecting our planet is not easy, but it’s something we all need to do. Energy use has important consequences for our planet because most of the energy we use today still comes from non-renewable sources like coal, oil and gas.

How to have a healthy lifestyle

Have you eaten too much chocolate and junk food recently? Are you a bit overweight and tired? Well, we all know how important it is to have a healthy lifestyle but maybe you’ve forgotten what you should do… so, here are six tips to help you remember!

Tip 1 Eat healthy food – green vegetables, fibre, vitamins and minerals. If you haven’t had lunch yet, don’t forget to eat some protein and fruit too.

Tip 2 Have you drunk enough water today? You should drink around 2 litres a day to keep your body fit and healthy.

Tip 3 Exercise! How many steps have you done today? 100 or 1,000? Exercise, even just walking to school or work, gives you energy and boosts your mood while it helps to reduce disease too.

Tip 4 Reduce your sitting time. Have you watched TV today? How long have you spent on your tablet or smartphone? Are you a bit of a couch potato? Spending less time sitting can definitely improve your health.

Tip 5 Go outside – you haven’t been outside yet today? Well, go now because it helps your mental health and sunlight is the best source of vitamin D. Tip 6 … and the final tip is simply get between six and eight hours sleep a night and don’t use a lot of technology, especially late at night.

If you can do all this, then you’re on the right road for a healthy lifestyle.

2 You should drink no more than a litre of water a day.

Per concludere, ti eserciterai con le prove scritte e orali dell’Esame di Stato nella sezione Exam Training. Una vasta offerta di argomenti cross-curriculari con attività che rispecchiano quelle dell’esame e tanti consigli ti aiuteranno a prepararti nel miglior modo possibile.

Le domande a risposta aperta In AD 410, the Roman Empire was in trouble: its capital, the city of Rome, was under attack; the Roman army had to leave Britain and return to Italy to defend the empire.

5

The Romans arrived in Britain in AD 43 and stayed for almost 400 years. After they left, the country fell into chaos. Local tribes competed for power and many people left the towns and went back to the countryside. But even after they were gone, the Romans left their mark on Britain with new cities, roads, methods of agriculture, and systems for writing and counting. Even the word ‘Britain’ comes from the Romans’ name for the country, Britannia.

The Romans were most famous for their roads. Britain had almost no roads before the Romans arrived, people travelled by boat instead. To make sure soldiers and supplies could move quickly, the Romans made their roads as straight as possible.

They built over 16,000 kilometres of roads in Britain which were so straight and strong that they lasted for centuries.

10

202

The Romans also introduced the idea of living in big towns and cities: before that the Britons lived in small villages in the countryside. Roman towns had a grid system with streets that divided them into regular blocks called ‘insulae’. In the middle was a big market square, the forum, where people met and bought and sold things. These new urban centres transformed the way people lived and interacted in Britain.

15

Rome was a large metropolis and the Romans knew that fresh water was necessary in large towns to keep them clean and free from diseases. They designed and built aqueducts to bring water from rivers or lakes, and sewage systems to take away dirty water. They also built public baths where people could go and wash in hot water – amazing!

20

The Romans spoke Latin and had a system of writing for it. After they arrived in Britain, people began to speak Latin as well as the local languages, and then to use the Latin alphabet to write down Celtic words too. In fact, there are still a lot of words from Latin in modern English (exit, pedestrian, justice). The names of places with ‘chester’, ‘caster’ or ‘cester’ in them (Manchester, Doncaster, Gloucester ) were certainly once Roman towns, because the word ‘chester’ comes from the Latin word castrum which means ‘a fort’.

REVISION UNIT Giving advice Read and listen to the texts. Then match them to the information below (A-G).

1 A Chores aren’t fun, but they’re important. We can make them easier when we follow a plan. Start by making your bed every morning. Helping with the dishes is easy – just load or unload the dishwasher or do the washing-up as soon as you finish eating. Once a week, you can also do the vacuuming and wash the floor. And when you’re watering the plants, remember not to waste water.

B When you’re feeling unwell, it’s important to know how to take care of yourself. But don’t feel like you have to take some medicine for every problem you have. Do you have a sore throat? Drink lots of water then. When you have a cough, just get some rest and keep warm to help your body get better. Of course, when you have earache or a toothache, though, it’s always best to go to the doctor or dentist as soon as you can – you don’t want your earache or toothache to get worse!

C It’s totally normal to feel different emotions. When we feel anxious or worried, we can talk to someone we trust. Things usually aren’t as bad as they seem. And we should also remember that we don’t have to feel happy or full of energy all the time – it’s okay to feel tired and unhappy sometimes. We should always be proud of ourselves for the good things we do, and we mustn’t be afraid to ask for help when we need it!

Ben’s vlog What job are you going to do?

Hi everyone, welcome to Ben’s vlog! I love vlogging about everything. And today I’m going to talk about jobs. Well, about one job in particular. My future job.

I’m going to be a video game designer. I enjoy playing video games and I’m really good at drawing. I think I’m very creative, too. A video game designer develops new ideas for video games, writes the software code and uses creative skills to develop the virtual world of the game and the characters that live in it.

You don’t need to go to university to become a video game designer, but if you want to stand out, then you should study. You can study things like computer science, for example, or video game design or video game development. All cool stuff, don’t you think?

14

fourteen

I also want to design educational games. They’re becoming a big deal because they help people learn new things and develop new skills. Playing games makes learning more engaging, improves motivation and collaboration in the classroom. You can play games to learn a foreign language, of course, but also maths, science and history. I know I’ve got a lot to learn, and it isn’t going to be easy, but I’m ready for it.

And you? What job are you going to do in the future?

Write your comments below. Thanks for watching and remember to tune in next week for another episode.

THINK What do you think they have in common?

WONDER What would you like to know about them?

1 Samantha Cristoforetti has several firsts to her name.

She was the first Italian woman in space and she was the first person who made an espresso on the International Space Station (ISS).

Samantha joined the Italian Air Force in 2001 and was one of their first women fighter pilots. She completed her basic astronaut training with ESA (European Space Agency) in November 2010.

During her training and her first mission on the ISS in 2014 and 2015, which lasted 199 days, she wrote a memoir Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut.

She went back to the ISS in the spring of 2022 for her second mission.

She served as commander during this mission, when she became the first European female commander of the International Space Station.

She landed safely back on Earth on the 14th October of the same year.

2 Christina Koch also holds an impressive record.

She spent 328 days on the ISS which is the longest single spaceflight for a woman.

She completed her astronaut training with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in 2015 and in March 2019 she joined the crew aboard the ISS as a flight engineer. While in space, she carried out experiments into dark matter, pharmaceutical research and 3D biological printers. Together with Jessica Meir she also conducted the first all-female spacewalk.

Back on earth, she enjoys activities like climbing, sailing and surfing.

3 Jessica Meir has a list of incredible qualifications and had an impressive career before becoming an astronaut.

She has a Doctorate in Marine Biology and was Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School.

She took part in research flights on NASA’s reduced gravity aircraft and was an aquanaut in an underwater habitat as part of an Extreme Environment mission.

The NASA training which Jessica undertook to prepare her for her 205 days on board the ISS included scientific and technical lessons to learn the systems of the ISS, as well as physiological and survival training.
