Wat wordt er gezegd over het Halloweenfeestje van Robbie?
A Emma heeft zonder dat ze het wist een worm opgegeten.
B Er waren snoepjes die precies op wormen leken.
C Robbies broertje had overal wormen losgelaten.
A wormy Halloween!
My friend Robbie threw a
Halloween party, and there were
bowls of icky stuff all over the
place, like peeled grapes for
eyeballs and blood red juice to
drink. Robbie dared me to eat a
worm from the bowl sitting off to
the side. It looked just like
crumbled brownies with spaghetti
strands mixed in, so I stuck the
strands in my mouth without a
second glance. As soon as it was
in my mouth, something felt
funny. I gulped it down, and when

I looked at the bowl again, I realized it wasn’t filled with brownies, but actual dirt!
And the strands were too thick to be spaghetii - they were real worms! It wasn’t
actually a part of the Halloween decorations - it was Robbie’s brother’s science
project, and I ate it! I washed the worm down with lots of chocolate.

While at the mall, shopping for a new spring wardrobe, I ran into a girl from school named Dawn, whose parents are filthy rich. She saw me in the dressing room trying on expensive jeans and commented, “Are you sure you can afford those, girl?” What a nerve! She soon paid the price for her snobbery, though. I waited for her to go into a changing stall before I dropped a few items with the security tags still attached into her unattended shopping bag. When Dawn tried to exit the store, the sensors went off and her face turned bright red. The mall cops searched her - and discovered some more stuff tucked into her shirt! Trista

I hate it when people get away with copying in tests, get good results and get
the credit for it.
Harriet
It’s really unfair to copy, particularly when someone else has put in the effort to
learn the work.
Brooke
I copy things off the internet all the time. As long as you read through it, it’s not
such a big deal. I think it’s alright to copy work of other people if it’s homework
and you know yourself how to do it, but you have no time to do it yourself.
That’s what friends are for, right?
Hannah
Copying is for losers! It won’t get you anywhere. You should pay more attention
in class so you can do it yourself.

Crisps with a bitter taste 1 Pupils in Gloucester had been eating thousands of packets of Walkers crisps because they believed they were helping a “disabled” baby before they found it was all a bad joke. It all began when a council official received an email telling him that Walkers, the crisp company would pay for treatment for a child born without an arm, if they received the weight of the baby in empty crisps packets. The official sent this email to 310 schools in Gloucester. 2 Parents, children and teachers happily began eating Walkers crisps. One school even organised an ‘eat-in’ where four bins with empty bags were collected. But when one school called Walkers to ask about weighing their load, it turned out to be a bad joke. Local headmaster Lawrence Montague said: “I find it disgusting that anyone could play such a trick on children.”

Op een chatsite geven jongeren tips over het meedoen aan de auditie voor het
TV-programma Pop Idol.
Wie geeft een tip over het uitstralen van zelfvertrouwen? Schrijf de naam op.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP AUDITION TIPS?
My tip is: just have fun! Plus, remember that although there are thousands of
people auditioning, someone has to get picked. It could be you.
Sarah, 20, Rochdale
I think you should wear clothes that stand out. And if the judges send you away,
it’s not the end of the world.
Samantha, 17, Rochdale
Speak up loud with a smile on your face. Being quiet and looking at the floor
won’t get you anywhere. The chances are that the judges are looking for a
confident interested person.
Mark, 14, Gra vesend
Don’t think about the big day too much. The night before the audition get lots of
sleep. It’s not a good thing to turn up with bags under your eyes. And get a
bottle of water with you!
Daniel, 15, Battle
My best friend and I went to Pop Idol. We had to queue for hours in the cold, so
my tip is to be patient and wear warm clothes.
Melissa, 18, Be dford
Practise your lyrics a lot but don’t try to do it all at once. Also the night before,
just let yourself relax, don’t worry you know your lyrics.
Emily, 16, London
The best auditioning tip I could give is to sing with emotion. And, if necessary,
pretend no-one else is watching you. It really helps a lot!
Amber, 16, Durham

Being bullied changed my life…..for the better 1 “School was really difficult for me. I find it hard to talk to new people and make friends with them, because I am very shy. At the beginning of secondary school, I was even known as the ‘silent twin’ because I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my sister. I felt no one was interested in what I was saying, so I just closed down. 2 Some of the kids at school started bullying me and calling me names. As I didn’t have anyone to go out with, I used to buy piles of magazines and spend my week- ends reading them from cover to cover. I loved clothes and I dreamt of being a designer when I left school, but I never thought it would happen. 3 When I saw a poster advertising a fashion show project, I was interested to find out more. The winners were going to make their own collection of clothes with the help of some well-known designers and put on a catwalk show at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Designing clothes was something I’d always wanted to do but I never believed I’d be good enough. I was nervous but I decided I had to take part in the fashion show project. 4 I couldn’t believe it when I found out I was chosen for the project. When I went to my first session, I felt absolutely sick with nerves. I had to work together with Asabi, who was a refugee from Nigeria.

IS DIVING RUINING FOOTBALL? Dutch football player Arjen Robben created an uproar at Stamford Bridge because player José Reina’s weak push sent Arjen tumbling to the ground as if he’d been punched. Reina was sent off by the referee as a result of the incident. Some commentators are blaming the influence of foreign players for the increase in such theatrics. Others have asked if divers could be punished afterwards with the help of video replays. Robben is not the first offender but he could be the last!

Such a cutie! For her new album cover, Beyoncé only agreed to pose with an alligator if its mouth was taped shut. “The first alligator they got was 13 feet long”, Beyoncé says. “They were like, ‘He’s fine. He just ate.’ But then I saw his trainer, who had stitches and a bloody head. I said, ‘No thank you, we’ll just have to add the photo in production.’ But I did hold a baby one.

I don’t understand how anyone would want to play violent computer games.
They inspire young people to start getting into crime. And why on earth people
think that a violent game will keep them calm I just can’t understand.
Laura, 14, Stubbington
Violent video games are not necessary - let alone entertaining. The more you
play the more you get used to violent actions. If you really need to work off
anger why not start a sport - join a gym! Your health will be benefiting too.
Jenah, 18, New Zealand
How can you not put 2 and 2 together? Violent crimes in America caused by
teenagers are increasing and so is the number of violent games they play.
When we had Tecken 3 my brother tried all the moves on me.
Sarah, 16, Guildford
Games reflect what happens in real life. It’s good for you to play violent games
as well so you can release your anger in a virtual world. Most kids figure out that
you shouldn’t do the things you see in real life.
Dale, 15, Haddenham
I think violent games can have very bad effects on people because a child
could very easily be inspired to try out some of the moves on real people just for
fun. I think it will encourage young people to use violence or harm others out of
spite.
