1. Where are Victoria Falls?
2. Why are they called ‘smoke that thunders’?
3. How much water runs down the waterfall?
4. Why is this waterfall different from others?
5. What do the two bridges offer visitors?
6. What activities can visitors do?
Victoria Falls is called Mosi-oa-Tunya by locals, which
means ‘smoke that thunders’. That’s because this amazing
waterfall on the Zambezi River between Zambia and
Zimbabwe creates an impressive noise, like thunder, and
sprays millions of drops of water that look like smoke from
far away. 546 million cubic metres of water per second
fall almost a hundred metres, so it’s easy to understand
why visitors to Victoria Falls say that it’s one of their most
unforgettable experiences, and that everyone should try to
visit the place once in their lifetime. However, what makes
Victoria Falls different from any other waterfall in the
world is that it is approximately two kilometres wide, which
makes the falls look like a huge, white curtain that covers
the area as far as the eye can see.
Visitors to the falls can enjoy the area in many ways.
Firstly, the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Knife Edge Bridge
offer tourists the opportunity to see the falls from a safe
distance. For people who love adventure, there are also
other ways. For example, they can fly on a helicopter close
to the waterfall and feel the water spray on their face! They
can also bungee jump from the bridge! Some tourists also
go swimming in one of the natural swimming pools near
the waterfalls. But there’s more. Tourists shouldn’t miss
the many national parks, like Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park,
Victoria Falls National Park, and also the bigger one to the
south, Zambezi National Park. There are also lots of water
sports in the Zambezi River, safaris, day trips and tours.
Tourists should visit the falls between February and May
because that’s after the rainy season and the view is the
most impressive then. Just remember: your camera is
definitely going to get wet!

G. Read the text and answer the questions.
There are many different problems you can have with sleeping. Some are medical
SLEEPING DISORDERS
problems where you need to see a doctor, others are just annoying.
1. Why is sleepwalking dangerous?
2. How long can someone sleepwalk for?
3. What do sleepwalkers remember when they wake up?
4. Why has the Guiness World Records stopped having
‘staying awake’ records?
5. What may cause people to be somniphobic?
6. Why could narcolepsy be embarrassing?
Sleepwalking is probably the most common sleeping disorder. It can be just
sitting up in bed while you’re asleep or walking around and doing activities,
where accidents can happen. These activities can include walking to the
bathroom or cleaning, but also dangerous activities like cooking or even driving.
Sleepwalking can last from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Sleepwalkers show no
emotion on their faces and their eyes are open. However, they don’t remember
anything when they wake up.
Insomnia is not being able to sleep. This happens to most people at some point,
but when it lasts for a long time it can be bad for your health. The Guinness
World Records used to have world records for people staying awake, but they
stopped because it’s too dangerous. Some people have somniphobia, which
is the fear of sleeping. They’re too scared to go to sleep, perhaps because of
nightmares that they’ve had, or sometimes they are scared they will die in their
sleep. Narcolepsy, on the other hand, is not being able to stay awake. People
with this disorder often don’t sleep well at night. This causes them to be so tired
during the day that they can’t stop themselves from falling asleep. Obviously,
this can be quite embarrassing.

SAVES
THE DAY
I’ve been a nurse for fifteen years. After I
situation in Africa, I decided I needed to do more
to help people. I became a volunteer and spent ten
years helping people in countries with wars and
terrible diseases. I wish the world was a better place.
Anyway, during a short trip home to visit
family and friends, something terrible happened. I
was walking down a street in the city centre when
I heard a loud noise. Then I saw two men running
from a bank and getting into a car. I immediately ran
into the bank to see if I could do anything to help.
There, I found a security guard on the floor. They
had hurt him very badly. Someone had called for an
ambulance, but I wasn ’ t sure it would arrive in time.
So, I did what I could to save his life. I used all the
skills I had learnt from my time as a volunteer. And in
the end, that is what saved his life.
I returned to Africa the week after. While I was
there, a friend sent me a copy of the local newspaper,
and I was amazed to see a story in it about me being
a hero. It put a smile on my face, but I’m not really a
hero. It’s all part of the job.
finished nursing school, I worked at a hospital for
a while. But when I saw a documentary about the

1. Where are Victoria Falls?
2. Why are they called ‘smoke that thunders’?
3. How much water runs down the waterfall?
4. Why is this waterfall different from others?
5. What do the two bridges offer visitors?
6. What activities can visitors do?
Victoria Falls is called Mosi-oa-Tunya by locals, which
means ‘smoke that thunders’. That’s because this amazing
waterfall on the Zambezi River between Zambia and
Zimbabwe creates an impressive noise, like thunder, and
sprays millions of drops of water that look like smoke from
far away. 546 million cubic metres of water per second
fall almost a hundred metres, so it’s easy to understand
why visitors to Victoria Falls say that it’s one of their most
unforgettable experiences, and that everyone should try to
visit the place once in their lifetime. However, what makes
Victoria Falls different from any other waterfall in the
world is that it is approximately two kilometres wide, which
makes the falls look like a huge, white curtain that covers
the area as far as the eye can see.
Visitors to the falls can enjoy the area in many ways.
Firstly, the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Knife Edge Bridge
offer tourists the opportunity to see the falls from a safe
distance. For people who love adventure, there are also
other ways. For example, they can fly on a helicopter close
to the waterfall and feel the water spray on their face! They
can also bungee jump from the bridge! Some tourists also
go swimming in one of the natural swimming pools near
the waterfalls. But there’s more. Tourists shouldn’t miss
the many national parks, like Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park,
Victoria Falls National Park, and also the bigger one to the
south, Zambezi National Park. There are also lots of water
sports in the Zambezi River, safaris, day trips and tours.
Tourists should visit the falls between February and May
because that’s after the rainy season and the view is the
most impressive then. Just remember: your camera is
definitely going to get wet!

G. Read the text and answer the questions.
There are many different problems you can have with sleeping. Some are medical
SLEEPING DISORDERS
problems where you need to see a doctor, others are just annoying.
1. Why is sleepwalking dangerous?
2. How long can someone sleepwalk for?
3. What do sleepwalkers remember when they wake up?
4. Why has the Guiness World Records stopped having
‘staying awake’ records?
5. What may cause people to be somniphobic?
6. Why could narcolepsy be embarrassing?
Sleepwalking is probably the most common sleeping disorder. It can be just
sitting up in bed while you’re asleep or walking around and doing activities,
where accidents can happen. These activities can include walking to the
bathroom or cleaning, but also dangerous activities like cooking or even driving.
Sleepwalking can last from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Sleepwalkers show no
emotion on their faces and their eyes are open. However, they don’t remember
anything when they wake up.
Insomnia is not being able to sleep. This happens to most people at some point,
but when it lasts for a long time it can be bad for your health. The Guinness
World Records used to have world records for people staying awake, but they
stopped because it’s too dangerous. Some people have somniphobia, which
is the fear of sleeping. They’re too scared to go to sleep, perhaps because of
nightmares that they’ve had, or sometimes they are scared they will die in their
sleep. Narcolepsy, on the other hand, is not being able to stay awake. People
with this disorder often don’t sleep well at night. This causes them to be so tired
during the day that they can’t stop themselves from falling asleep. Obviously,
this can be quite embarrassing.

THE DAY
I’ve been a nurse for fifteen years. After I
situation in Africa, I decided I needed to do more
to help people. I became a volunteer and spent ten
years helping people in countries with wars and
terrible diseases. I wish the world was a better place.
Anyway, during a short trip home to visit
family and friends, something terrible happened. I
was walking down a street in the city centre when
I heard a loud noise. Then I saw two men running
from a bank and getting into a car. I immediately ran
into the bank to see if I could do anything to help.
There, I found a security guard on the floor. They
had hurt him very badly. Someone had called for an
ambulance, but I wasn ’ t sure it would arrive in time.
So, I did what I could to save his life. I used all the
skills I had learnt from my time as a volunteer. And in
the end, that is what saved his life.
I returned to Africa the week after. While I was
there, a friend sent me a copy of the local newspaper,
and I was amazed to see a story in it about me being
a hero. It put a smile on my face, but I’m not really a
hero. It’s all part of the job.
