GPS CHALLENGE

Dear Friends

CLAUDIA'S BLOG

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I've been a bit busy lately. You'll find out why... But first of all, have you ever heard of geocaching? It's a kind of treasure-hunting game that uses a GPS device-usually your smartphone-to find small containers called geocaches hidden all over the world. I can definitely recommend it- it's healthy and fun. So how does it work, exactly? Well, the first step is to go to the geocaching website or download the geocaching app onto your phone. Then choose a geocache and start looking. People have been hiding geocaches for more than ten years, so there are literally millions of them around the world, including Antarctica!

Geocaching began around the year 2000. However, similar games did exist in the past. For example, in the middle of the 19th century, a game called 'letterboxing" became popular in the south of England. People walking in the countryside began to hide boxes of addressed postcards all along the route. When other walkers found a box, they collected the cards and posted them.

In geocaching, the boxes contain a logbook, where the person who finds it can write their name and the date. (They also record the find on the website.) Geocaches often contain a toy or gift, too. You are welcome to take this, provided you replace it with something you have brought with you.

The basic game just involves finding a geocache and recording it online and in the logbook. However, there are lots of variations: multi-cache challenges (each cache leads to the next until the final cache containing the logbook), 'travelling caches' (you move it to a different location and update the information on the website) and webcam caches' (you find a public webcam and capture an image of yourself on the webcam as proof of success). I've tried all of these types, and personally, I've enjoyed the multi-cache challenges the most.

Geocaching is an activity you can do alone or, like me, with a couple of friends, or at events with hundreds of other fans of the game. An example of such an event is the annual "Fumble after Dark' in November in Sweden. I'm seriously thinking about joining it next year. So why don't you get into geocaching too, and I might see you there!

Bye for now!

Read two texts. Circle the correct answers (A-D).

(Đọc hai văn bản. Khoanh chọn câu trả lời đúng.)

John has been a keen reader and his favourite topic is climate change. Looking at his bookshelf, you'll be amazed at how many special books on climate change he has. Most of these books are his own buy and he is very proud of his collection. Some others are his dad's souvenirs from his business trips abroad. Believe it or not, all you can find on John's wish lists are titles of new books on climate change and global warming. John once lent his collection to the school library for a book fair and he even gave a talk on causes and effects of global warming at his science club. His audience was fascinated by his explanation of the natural greenhouse effect and the human-enhanced process in which greenhouse gases trap the heat and radiation, thereby raising the earth's temperature.

A. John's friends don't care about his book collection.

B. John’s book collection is exploited to the fullest.

C. John spends most of his free time collecting and reading books.

Hobby-related holidays are on the way to becoming one of the most lucrative forms of tourism, and younger people are definitely joining in. Of course, sports-related camps have been a huge part of tourism for ages, but what if you're someone with little interest in tennis or basketball? A good option for you might be a two-week photography tour-with stunning scenery, ancient buildings and sometimes even underwater photography Alternatively, if you are interested in nature, you can spend two weeks in an exotic location helping to identify rare plants and animals - while soaking up some sun and meeting like-minded people.

2. What does the writer say about hobby-related holidays?

A. They have existed for a long time.

B. They are mainly sports-related.

C They are usually for young people.

D They are popular and varied.

StreetGames

Who are we?

StreetGames is a sports charity that changes lives and communities. We are proud to give young people exactly what they are looking for – the chance to enjoy sport, give back to their communities and aspire to greater things. Seventy-one percent of young people have said that they would like the chance to try more sporting activities, but that they can’t afford to.

What do we do?

‘Doorstep Sport’ is what we do – we bring sport close to home in disadvantaged communities, at the right time, for the right price and in the right style. Sport is great! It provides fitness, fun and friendship opportunities, and since 2007 we have been using it to improve the lives of countless young people. It teaches them skills and knowledge which they can then use to make their own way in life.

What do we offer?

We have been speaking to a lot of young people about sports they would like to be involved in, and these are the answers: boys between the ages of 16 and 19 have voted for playing football, badminton and tennis, going swimming, cycling, running and to the gym and doing adventure sports. The girls have chosen similarly, except for netball rather than football, plus dance and fitness classes. Multi-sports sessions have also proved popular with everyone.

What do we want?

We are bringing sport to your neighbourhood, and we need some assistance. We are looking for young volunteers for this task. We need young people both to take part in our wonderful sporting activities and also to look after and coach the younger children. So, if you are aged 16-19, contact us if you would like to be involved. We need YOU!
