Colouring books
Many people probably used to spend time adding color to pictures in coloring books when they were children. However, once people get older, very few of them continue the hobby. Instead, they their crayons away in the cupboard forever.
However, psychology researchers now think that even for adults, spending as little as ten minutes a day coloring pictures in this way bring huge benefits. For example, some people say that it improves their mood for a while by making them feel more cheerful and generally calmer.
One reason for this may be that other activities connected with art, such as drawing or painting, can actually be quite stressful, especially if you don't feel very successful at it. However, adding color to a picture that's already drawn for you only a low level of skill, so you can relax rather than becoming about it!

A wildlife boat tour
When I was on holiday with my parents, we went on a wildlife tour. The trip involved sailing round some islands off the coast, not too far our hotel. Some other guests had been on the tour and recommended it to my parents, who immediately decided we should go.
In the morning our guide, Jake, picked us in his boat, and we went off. Jake knew a lot about the wildlife on the islands and we saw everything we were hoping to, apart from one bird, called a harrier, which didn't appear. But that didn't matter because we saw many other amazing birds.
My parents especially liked the fact that were very few people on the tour. Jake had time to all our questions, so we felt we learned more than we'd expected. And we agreed this wildlife experience was the one we'd ever had.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to eat. Therefore, being able to eat insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to even try them. If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over the “yuck” factor.
