Hip hop, or rap music as it's also called, started on the streets and in the clubs of New York City in the 1970s, but today many countries have their own kind of hip hop music, This kind of music has its roots in reggae，disco and funk music.

Would you like to rap in class? Well actually, hip hop music is being played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why?

This is one teacher said: "I've used hip hop songs in class, and I've never seen students have such interests in history!  It's unbelievable  how students  remember what I teach it even encourages us to waste our own songs.

Blake Harrison, a high school student, first thought of the idea of Flocabulary. The word "Flocabulary" comes from the words "flow" and "vocabulary". "Flow" is a rap word for "style" or the way a rapper says the words of a song. How did he get the idea'? Well he realized he could remember the lyrics of a hip hop song very easily.  So, why not make lessons into songs'? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a composer, Blake produces hip hop songs for maths .science and literature,which are now being used in schools with great success.

Hi, Jake,

How's it going? Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while, but I couldn't use my computer for a few

days. You'll never guess what happened to me!

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take up yoga. Yoga is  combination of physical and breathing exercises. _  1__ I've been feeling a bit stressed about my school work recently and I thought yoga might help.

     My dad couldn't give me a lift to the first lesson, so I decided to go to the gym by bike.  The lesson was great and I felt really relaxed afterwards.  2   The next day , I woke up with a bad cold. I couldn't stop coughing and sneezing.  I couldn't go to school because I also had a high temperature. We were having a maths test that day so it was great that I could stay at home. I didn't really enjoy my day off though. I felt awful and stayed in bed. Mum brought me cups of hot tea for my sore throat(and you know how much I hate tea   3     I have to keep taking these for a while so I can get stronger.

"Mr Banks says do it at home instead ,”he said , but I knew he was joking.  4   The next day, I a bit pale and didn't have much energy, but I was feeling better. The day after that, I was able to go back to school.

Can you believe my luck?  5

Anyway, you're OK. Write and let me know what you've been up to ! Bye for now ！

    Paul Nicklen waited patiently on a sheet of ice in the Arctic.  He was there to take pictures for National Geographic. Finally, he saw something big and white. It was a polar bear, swimming towards him in the icy water.

    Paul lay down-on the ice to get a better photo, but the polar bear jumped out of the water and tried to attack him! Luckily for Paul, the ice cracked or broke and the bear fell back into the water

The polar bear wasn’t so lucky. It couldn’t get a meal and had to swim farther away to find food.

To understand the polar bear’s problem, you need to know two things about the Arctic. First, the Arctic is mostly ocean. Second , ice cover a lot of the Arctic Ocean. In winter, the ice form a thick, white sheet, but in summer, the ice becomes thinner and break into pieces. Sea ice is the key to survival for Arctic animals. However, because of global warming, Arctic temperatures are rising and polar ice is melting.

Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, their favourite meal. They stand on the ice wait for the

Seal to come up for air. As Arctic ice melts, polar bears have to swim farther to find ice floes, or large pieces of floating ice. Sometimes, bears have to swim more than 200 km to find an ice floe. Some bears cannot swim that far and sadly they drown.

   On his last trip, Paul Nicklen saw three dead bodies of polar bears. Before global warming threatened Arctic ice, a dead bear was a rare sight, Paul is sad to see the dead bodies, wildlife experts thinks global warming will have a terrible effect on polar bears. In the future, polar ice will continue to shrink and endanger the bear. Some scientists believe 65 percent of the world’s polar bears will disappear by 2050. in other word, polar bears are in great danger.
