Big Blog

MY BLOG
NEW POST
On Saturday, we had the typical weather for our town – it rained all day. So, while Jenny and I were helping Dad in the garage, we found an amazing old lamp. Dad said he’d never seen it before. Jenny was excited – she thought it might be special. She started rubbing it and then … nothing happened. But we started talking about what we’d ask for if we had three wishes. And that’s what today’s blog is about!
Jim’s three wishes
Jenny’s three wishes
1 I wish I lived somewhere warmer.
1 I wish i h it was snowing i ttoday. d
Where I live, the weather’s usually cool and sometimes rainy. But I’d like to live somewhere warm and humid, where the temperature is around 25 degrees every day. My dream would be to live by the sea, swim every day, and eat fresh coconuts and mangoes from the trees!
I don’t like mild weather. I prefer it when it’s very hot, or very cold. But my favorite weather is when it’s freezing. I love walking through snowy fields, or looking out across icy lakes. And snowball fights are great fun, too!
2 I wish it would rain chocolate.
2 I wish everyone in the world had clean drinking water.
How much fun would this be?! We wouldn’t need umbrellas – we’d be running around outside with our mouths open, looking up at the sky. I’d love wet weather if rain was made of chocolate!
There are millions of people in the world who don’t have access to clean drinking water. Jim and I are lucky that we can go to the kitchen and turn on the faucet when we want something to drink.
3 I wish I had every new video game.
3 I wish I had more wishes.
I love playing video games, but they’re really expensive, so there are often games that I’d like to play but I can’t. I’d love it if video game companies sent me all of their new games. The only problem would be that I’d need a bigger bookcase for them!
There are so many other things I’d like to wish for, so I wish I had 100 wishes. I wish I could breathe underwater, and I wish I had a towel that was always dry, and I wish I could talk to animals, and … well, you get the idea!
1 Read the blog. What kind of weather does Jenny wish for? 2 Match the definitions to the words in bold in Jim’s blog. 1
a little cold
6
covered in water
2
slightly hot
7
when there is no water
3

8

3 Which of the kinds of weather from Activity 2 do you like?

4.08
Lost in the hills
Kevin, Mitzi, and James were in the Photographic Society in school. At the end of February, there was a photography competition. They all wanted to enter the competition as a team, but they needed some really good photographs. Mitzi suggested pictures of people working. “If we go into town, we can take some pictures of street cleaners, police directing traffic, people selling things!” Neither of the boys liked the idea. “If we take pictures of people we don’t know, they won’t like it,” said James. He thought they could go to the zoo and take pictures of the animals there, but Mitzi didn’t like that idea. “Everyone takes animal pictures,” she said. “We need something more original!” Then Kevin had an idea. “If we climbed up into the hills, I bet we could get some really interesting pictures of the wildlife.” James thought about it. At last he said, “That would be a really good idea if it weren’t so cold.” “The cold doesn’t matter,” said Kevin. “That’s what warm jackets and scarves are for.” So they agreed to go up into the hills and take pictures the next Saturday. On Friday, it was really cold. James decided to check the weather forecast for the next day on his new smartphone. The news wasn’t good! Low temperatures were expected, and there was a possibility of snow! James called Kevin and told him. But Kevin wouldn’t listen to him. “If it snows, we’ll get great pictures,” he said. “Don’t tell Mitzi, though! She hates the snow!” “You’re right!” said James. “It won’t be dangerous. They’re only hills, not the Himalayas!”

9 But the next day, as the three children stood looking up at the hills, they could see gray clouds in the distance. It wasn’t raining, though, and it didn’t feel very cold, so they started climbing. In the first hour they took lots of pictures. But then the weather changed! It grew dark, and it started to snow. “I’m freezing,” said Mitzi. “Let’s go home now.” But by then it was snowing very hard, so they decided to wait under some trees until the snow stopped. But the snow didn’t stop. It got worse! “Come on. We’d better go down,” said Kevin. They started to climb down, but it was very hard to see. They walked and walked, but they couldn’t find their way down! They were lost! “We’re just going around in circles,” said Kevin. “Do you have your phone, James? We should call for help.” Urgently, James got his phone out, but it didn’t work. “If we climb up the hill to the top, it might work there,” he said. So they climbed back up to the top of the hill. “I wish my phone would work,” said James. “Why didn’t I listen to you?” Kevin said to James. “Why didn’t we pay attention to the weather forecast?” Mitzi heard him! “You mean you knew there was a storm coming?” she shouted. “Yes,” said Kevin. He felt very guilty! “Shhh!” said James. “The phone’s working.” He called his parents, who called the police. An hour later, the children heard a whap, whap, whap! It was a helicopter. The boys jumped up and down and started waving to attract attention. At that moment, Mitzi raised her camera and took a picture of the helicopter coming down through the snow to rescue them. And that was the one that won first prize in the competition!

Hurricanes What are hurricanes? Hurricanes are large rotating storms. The scientific name for a hurricane is a “tropical cyclone,” but in North America and the Caribbean they are called “hurricanes.” In the Indian Ocean they are called “cyclones,” but in Southeast Asia they are called “typhoons.” In the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean, hurricanes usually happen between June 1 and November 30. This period is called the hurricane season.
How do hurricanes form? When the warm air rises over warm ocean water, it’s replaced by cooler air. The cooler air then gets warm and starts to rise, too. If this happens, huge storm clouds form and these begin to spin. If there is enough warm water, this will continue until the wind speeds get stronger to form a hurricane. Hurricanes can be as big as 600 kilometers wide.
4
3
Names of hurricanes Hurricanes are given names. These are chosen by the World Meteorological Organization. The names are in alphabetical order and alternate between male and female. For example, in 2017, Hurricane Irma followed Hurricane Harvey. The first storm of the year will always have a name that starts with the letter “a” and, if the hurricane is especially violent, that name is never used again.
Parts of a hurricane The center of a hurricane is calm and still. This part is called the eye. The most dangerous part of the hurricane is the eye wall, where the highest winds are.

Hi, Pete,
Hi,
Wonderful news about the money! I wish I was fitter so I could race like you.
Yes, I remember that race. It was freezing! The temperature was only about three degrees on that day. Wonderful about the prize, though.
I’d like to help you on Saturday, but only after 2 p.m. The forecast says there’s going to be a storm in the morning, and I don’t want to get wet. I heard the sports store is good, with all the typical clothes you need, and there’s a lot of choice. However, Baxter’s store is more personal, even if it’s more expensive. After shopping, let’s take a walk at the park if it’s not too cold.
I have a lot of homework to do this weekend. I don’t really like shopping, because things are usually expensive and sales clerks can be unfriendly. I can lend you a pair of gloves for icy weather. But if it’s really cold, it’s better to travel by bus.
Bye, Olivia
Bye!
