On 30th October 1938, Orson Welles (producer and film maker) presented his "War of the Worlds" story in a realistic radio programme. He caused a wave of panic all over the United States because he started with: “Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin: Martians have landed in New Jersey!”. Hundreds of people, who did not know that the story was based on a science fiction novel written in 1898 (by H.G. Well), panicked. They really thought that Martians were attacking the planet!

First Lady Jill Biden welcomes the 2021 and 2022 Spelling Bee Champions to the White House on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.
Harini Logan and Zaila Avant-Garde, the 2022 and 2021 Scripps Spelling Bee Champions, received a tour of the White House last week. During their visit, Dr. Biden — a longtime fan of the spelling bee and an English teacher of more than 30 years — surprised the two with life-sized cutouts of their winning words: "murraya" and "moorhen."
Avant-Garde, from Jefferson Parish in Louisiana, won the spelling bee in 2021 at age 14. Logan, who is from San Antonio, Texas, won the spelling bee in 2022 at age 14.
"In sixth grade I was my school's spelling bee champion, but on the day of the regional competition, I told my mother that I was sick. The truth was that I was too nervous to go, so I have incredible admiration for each and every one of you."

Bonjour la France! Today, I’m gonna tell you how I managed to convince my parents to let me travel abroad.

When I was just fifteen years old, I wanted to explore the world: Africa, Asia, South America. But I had a major problem: my parents! They didn’t want me to travel alone: it was too dangerous, I was too young, and they were too scared…
I didn’t want them to travel with me. So, I worked on my project and planned everything out.

First, the budget: I told them exactly how much my journey would cost and explained to them how I planned to pay for it.
Then, the trip. I gave them details about my trip: Where? When? How long? Why?
I told them I wanted to attend a summer school programme in Paris to work on my French.
I took the facts to my parents and they understood how much I wanted it, how excited I was about this trip… and you know what? They did not say no.

1. This is not the first time this group has targeted us.
2. I hope it's okay that I let that out of the bag.
3. And good luck finding any of those birth certificates.
4. Did you see Lopez almost knock that one in?
5. They really made us feel like we let'em all down.
6. But winning covered all that up.
7. Just thought I'd ask.
8. My high school sweetheart. I contacted her.
9. Clarkson is there to clean it up.
10. Whether we are aware of it or not.
11. I resisted it.
12. Whip that up!

If I were an animal, I would be.... a cat because ...all a cat does is sleep and I love sleeping. But I hate mice so, I would chase mice and I could jump really high ! That would be super cool !!!

If I were a day , I would be ... Saturday because... it's the start of the weekend and we don't have class on that day .I would spend all my afternoons outside and I could sleep late in the morning !

Hello, I'm William. I live in Manchester in England. I'm 14 years old and I'm British but my family comes from Greece.
I'm interested in History and science. I would like to go to Africa and follow the steps of Dr Livingston, one of the most famous explorer of all times.
My biggest dream ? When I am older, I plan to become a well-known explorer!
My favourite place in Manchester is the Museum Of Science and Industry. The part I like the most is the one dedicated to the Industrial Revolution.
I usually play cricket, a typical British sport
