TEXTO PARA PROVA 1ºANO KENNEDY

Yesterday, the Walsh family looked in to tell us about their holiday in Spain. Mr Walsh does not like flying. As soon as the plane takes off he goes into a cold sweat, so they decided to take the boat from Portsmouth to Santander. The boat could have gone down to the bottom of the Bay of Biscay, but luckily for the Walsh family it didn't. It got into the Spanish port about 24 hours after it had left England. The foot passengers were the first to get off.
As they made for the exit to the port, a man in a green uniform came up to them and asked if they wanted to hire a car. This was their intention, and fortunately the man they had come across worked for their favourite car rental company. He was very pleasant and warned them that heavy rain was holding up traffic on the minor roads in the North West of Spain.
They pulled out of the port in the direction of the motorway, but before they got there they pulled in at a large garage for petrol. When they got to the motorway, Mrs Walsh, who was driving the car, pulled away leaving all the heavier vehicles behind, putting on l00 kilometres per hour in a few seconds. They were soon going towards the outskirts of Madrid. They planned to look up the Alvarez family who they had fallen in with on their last holiday in Alicante and who had offered to take them in. They enjoyed getting about by car and hoped that the Alvarez family would join them for some days out.

HAVE A NICE TEST!!!

Here are some other strategies to discuss with kids about Bullying that can help improve the situation and make them feel better:
1. _______________________________________ Use a different bathroom if a bully is nearby and don't go to your locker when there is nobody around. Make sure you have someone with you so that you're not alone with the bully. Be always with a friend on the bus, in the hallways, or at recess — wherever the bully is. Offer to do the same for a friend.
2. _______________________________________ It's natural to get upset by the bully, but that's what bullies thrive on. It makes them feel more powerful. Practice not reacting by crying or looking red or upset. It takes a lot of practice, but it's a useful skill for keeping off of a bully's radar. Sometimes kids find it useful to practice "cool down" strategies such as counting to 10, writing down their angry words, taking deep breaths or walking away. Sometimes the best thing to do is to teach kids to wear a "poker face" until they are clear of any danger (smiling or laughing may provoke the bully).
3. _______________________________________ Firmly and clearly tell the bully to stop, then walk away. Practice ways to ignore the hurtful remarks, like acting uninterested or texting someone on your cell phone. By ignoring the bully, you're showing that you don't care. Eventually, the bully will probably get bored with trying to bother you.
4. _______________________________________ Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom personnel at school can all help stop bullying.
5. _______________________________________ Talk to someone you trust, such as a guidance counselor, teacher, sibling, or friend. They may offer some helpful suggestions, and even if they can't fix the situation, it may help you feel a little less alone.
6. _______________________________________ If the bully is demanding your lunch money, start bringing your lunch. If he's trying to get your music player, don't bring it to school.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
In 1845 Canada, young James Howlett sees his father killed by groundskeeper Thomas Logan. The trauma activates the boy's mutation: bone claws protrude from James' hands, and he kills Logan. In his dying breath, Logan tells James that he is his real father. James flees with Logan's abused son and James' half-brother Victor Creed. The two survive for over a century as men in their prime, living out their violent urges together in the American Civil War and both World Wars. During the Vietnam War, Victor kills a superior after he stops a rape attempt, James defends his brother and the two are executed by firing squad, which they survive. Major William Stryker approaches the two and offers them membership in Team X, a group of mutants which includes marksman Agent Zero, mercenary Wade Wilson, teleporter John Wraith, invincible Fred Dukes and electricity-controlling Chris Bradley. The duo joins the team, but the group's questionable actions cause James to leave.
