Read the two texts about these two cities, Frankfurt and Venice. Then try and match the pictures below with the right text. Put numbers 1 or 2 in each picture. Discuss your choices with your partner.
1.Read about the city of Frankfurt Welcome to Frankfurt! We would like to invite you to take a closer look at Frankfurt, the metropolis, where everybody feels at home. Frankfurt is the largest financial centre in Europe, a global village, a melting pot of cultures, languages and lifestyles.
Travelling around. Getting around Frankfurt is easy and convenient, thanks to a modern public transportation system. You can use streetcars (trams), buses, rapid trains and the underground. The fastest way of travelling within the city of Frankfurt is the 'U-Bahn', the underground train. The city Frankfurt is a city of contrasts, a city of variety. Take some time to discover it. It is a city of trade fair, a financial centre, a major European metropolis but also a city of intellect, of apple wine of green spaces and of 180 nationalities.
2. Read about the city of Venice. Venice is a very old city, full of monuments of extraordinary beauty. That is why it is a tourist attraction like no other in the entire world.
How to get around in Venice. The only way to get around in Venice is to walk or take a boat. Many Venetians have their own boats but the visitor will have to take a taxi or a public boat in order to move around the canals of Venice. The different types of public boats are: vaporetto (water bus), motorscafo (water taxi) and gondola. The famous gondola is certainly the finest way to move about the canals of Venice on romantic moonlit nights. For the water taxis, the fares start from 50 €. You have to be careful, though, especially in Tronchetto (the island with the biggest car park) because unlicensed water taxis are not to be trusted and sometimes they can be dangerous, too!

Holidays & Traditions
Easter in Norway Easter in Norway is dominated by Easter chickens, Easter eggs in all colors and occasionally Easter bunnies. Yellow chickens are everywhere at Easter time. Drawn chickens, plastic chickens, cotton chickens, chickens made of all sorts of materials can be seen in private homes, shop windows, newspapers and magazines, on plastic bags and on television. It's no wonder yellow has become the color of Easter in Norway. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday are national holidays in Norway. School children however have 6 days of Easter vacation (not counting the weekends). The Norwegians in general do not pay much attention to the religious aspect of Easter. Of course they know the story, but only some will go to church services.

Easter in Mexico Easter celebration in Mexico is held as a combination of two separate big observances - Semana Santa and Pascua. The former means the whole of the Holy Week - Palm Sunday to Easter Saturday. And the Pascua is the observance for the period from the Resurrection Sunday to the following Saturday. For most Mexicans, this two-week period is the time for a great vacation. People enjoy this time with the community of their choice. Semana Santa celebrates the last days of the Christ's life. Pascua is the celebration of the Christ's Resurrection. It is also the release from the sacrifices of Lent. In many communities, the full Passion Play is enacted from the Last Supper, the Betrayal, the Judgement, the Procession of the 12 Stations of the Cross, the Crucifixion and, finally, the Resurrection. In some communities, real crucifixion is included. The enactments are often nicely staged, costumed and acted, with participants preparing for their roles for nearly the full year leading up to Semana Santa. http://www.theholidayspot.com/easter/worldeaster/mexican_easter.htm

Information
The school children of Windward School in New York debate the Parthenon Marbles. Read what each student wrote.
The Parthenon marbles should remain in the British Museum. One reason is that in Athens there is too much pollution, which damages the marble. Also, for some people Athens is too far to travel to. Finally, some more people live in Britain, so more people will go to the British Museum and see the Marbles. Edwin, 6th Grade Student
The Parthenon Marbles should be returned to Athens. People told Lord Elgin he could take what he wanted off the ground. Instead he sawed pieces off the Parthenon. Also, the pieces of the frieze should be together in Athens, because the Parthenon was built in Athens. Finally, The British Museum didn't take good care of the Marbles. When the museum cleaned the Marbles, they damaged them. The Parthenon Marbles must be returned to Athens. Rhoda
Further Activity: Write an e-mail to the Greek Ministry of Culture (http://www.yppo.gr/0/gcontact.jsp) to bring the Parthenon Marbles back to Athens. |

ROBIN HOOD AND HIS MERRY MEN
![]() When Robin first came to live in Sherwood Forest he was sad. He could not forget all he had lost. But he was not lonely for long. When people heard he had gone to live in Sherwood, other poor men, who had been driven out of their homes by the Normans, joined him. They soon formed a band of outlaws. They became known as the "Merry Men." Robin was no longer Robin of Huntingdon, but Robin of Sherwood Forest. People shortened Sherwood into "Hood". Some say he was called "Hood" from the green hoods he and his men wore. It does not matter much how he came to have his name. He had become known, not only all over England, but in many countries far away, as Robin Hood.
