ZONE
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ONLINE STUDENT
Every year, more and more teens study at online high schools. They don’t
go to school like other students. They stay at home and connect to classes
via the Internet. So, what is a typical day for an online student?

MONDAY
AM

THURSDAY
PM

The fact is, it depends. Students have lessons, but they can study when they want. Jack wakes
up at seven and reads for an hour before breakfast. He starts his lessons at nine. Abi prefers to
start school early, so she has free time for sports and other activities in the afternoon.
‘I get up and log on for my first lesson at eight’ she says. ‘I read the notes on the whiteboard
on my computer.’ Abi doesn’t see her teachers, but she can hear them. Later, she can ask
questions online or by phone.
Both Jack and Abi have four lessons in the morning. After lunch, they do homework and
class projects. ‘I don’t sit at the computer all day,’ says Jack. ‘I make robots, or I go to the
library and learn about the things I like.’
Of course, online students don’t see their classmates every day. They sometimes go on school
trips together, but they only meet friends in after-school clubs. They also need to be motivated,
because they spend a lot of time studying alone.
In other ways, online schools are the same as ordinary schools. ‘We do all the normal
subjects like maths and history,’ says Abi. ‘We do tests and we get grades for our work.’

NEWS THIS WEEK’S TALENTED TEEN IS BRIGHTON ZEUNER.

Brighton is 13. Like any other 8th grade student in the USA,
in the evenings she usually does homework or listens to
music in her bedroom. She likes Beyoncé. She hardly ever
has free time but she loves watching videos on YouTube.
PHOTOS But Brighton, from Encinitas, California, is also an
X-Games champion skateboarder. And not in a junior competition.
No – Brighton is the world champion and competes against women twice her age.
Amazing, right?
But the future looks even more exciting for Brighton. The big news is that skateboarding is
ABOUT now an Olympic sport! To prepare for the next X-Games and the Olympics, Brighton trains
every morning before school, and in the afternoon she always practises in her local skate
park.
Is it difficult to be famous when you’re so young? Brighton says she is sometimes nervous
when she gives interviews or before competitions, but it’s all part of doing the sport she
EVENTS loves. And the great thing about Brighton is that she’s a skateboarding superstar, but she’s
also a normal person like you or me.

Traditional costumes in BOLIVIA

Different regions of Bolivia have different costumes. Traditional clothes
often tell us what region someone comes from.
The Highlands are a region in the west of Bolivia. The traditional
costume there has a lot of colours. People wear it for festivals and on
special occasions.

Men usually wear a red jacket, a white shirt, white trousers and white
shoes. They often wear a hat.
Women have very colourful costumes. They wear long pink, yellow
or blue skirts and a hat, and they sometimes wear boots.
In these photos, men are playing instruments and women are dancing
in the street during the Laja Festival in La Paz. They are wearing
traditional clothes.

Get it right: HOW TO PACK FOR A CAMPING TRIP

1 When you go on a camping holiday, it’s important to pack your backpack well. It’s easier to
carry the heavier things at the top. The lighter things go at the bottom of the backpack.
TOP SECTION

2 The top of your backpack is for things you need

on the journey. This is a good place for your
hat, your water bottle and a snack too. The top
section also has space to put your waterproof
jacket: it’s easy to get it out if it starts to rain.

3 The bottom section is the biggest and this is

BOTTOM SECTION

where you pack the things you don’t need while

you are travelling to the campsite. Your sleeping
bag is probably the biggest thing you’re carrying,
but it’s also quite light. It’s a good idea to pack
this first, right at the bottom. After that, pack
your clothes, cooking equipment and the rest of
your food too.

Instructions Subskill: too and also

Voices The Question: What is your favourite place to visit?

My favourite place to visit is Brighton. My cousins live there, and I often stay
with them in the holidays.
It’s a small town on the south coast of England, but there are lots of
things to do. There’s a modern part with a department store and busy
restaurants, and there’s an old part. I prefer the old part because it’s full
of interesting shops and cafés. My favourite place sells ice cream – it’s got
more than 20 different flavours.
Brighton’s also got a beach. It’s quiet in winter, but it can get
crowded in summer. I usually go there with my cousins in
summer and we play volleyball or swim in the sea.
There’s a fun fair near the beach too.
I think Brighton is a beautiful and exciting place.
I really recommend that you visit it!

Hi Sam,
How are things? We went on a school trip to the National Aquarium last week. It was
brilliant! There were loads of fish. The sharks were definitely the best!
First of all, we visited the local fish section and learned about their habitats. Then we saw
the jellyfish. They were really cool, especially the white-spotted jellyfish. After that, we went
to the Atlantic Ocean tank. It’s the biggest tank in the country and we actually walked under
the water. There were sharks and stingrays above our heads. It was amazing!
Next, there were the smaller tanks with colourful tropical fish and a giant octopus. Finally,
we saw the turtles before we went home. I’m sending you a picture of one of them. I hope
you like it!
Anyway, that’s all for now. Let me know your news.

Sea otters
Red pandas
Sea otters are the smallest marine mammal,
but they’ve got very strong tails to help
them swim. They live in the seas around
Japan, Alaska, California and Mexico.

In the 1700s, there were between 150,000

and 300,000 of these otters, but people
hunted them for their fur. In 1911, they
were almost extinct.

Red pandas live in the forests of China, India,

Nepal and Myanmar. They’ve got red fur with
black legs and a white striped face.

Red pandas are in danger because their

natural habitat is disappearing, and with
it, bamboo, their main food.

Fifty years ago, there were about

20,000 red pandas in the world, but
now there are less than 10,000 (and
some scientists say only 2,500). The number of otters is growing again

the oceans is now a problem. We need

Gertrude (Trudy) Ederle was born in New York in 1905. Her parents
were from Germany and she was one of six children.
Trudy loved swimming and at the age of 12, she started training at the
Women’s Swimming Association. Swimming was not a popular women’s
sport at the time, but Trudy was a very talented swimmer. She broke
eight world records and won an Olympic gold medal.

Sit back, g TRAVEL?

This week on THE HOLIDAY BLOG, I’m looking at how Virtual Reality (VR)
could change all our ideas about holidays.
Would you like to climb Mount Everest? How about staying in a 5-star hotel or going skiing in New Zealand? If, like
me, your answer is ‘Yes, but…’, don’t worry. You will soon be able to do all this and it won’t cost a lot of money. How?
With amazing VR travel.
With VR, some of the things that can turn your perfect holiday into a nightmare simply disappear. One travel
company recently started offering customers a virtual tour of their hotel. Can you see the swimming pool from
your room? What’s the games room like? Put on your VR glasses and take a look before you book.
With VR you can swim with dolphins, or take a parachute jump while the person next to you visits a waterfall. And
soon the experience will be even better with special clothes to wear during your VR trip. With your VR shoes you
will be able to see the water and feel the sea on your feet. Fantastic!
You don’t need a passport or sun cream, just your VR glasses. See you in Bali, or Alaska, or …
