Then read the article and do the exercises. Water is vital. Between 55 and 60 per cent of the adult body is made of it and every living cell needs it to keep functioning.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science

February 11 is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. We explore some of the reasons why there are fewer girls and women interested in working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and what's happening to encourage equality in these fields.

Figures show that although there is no significant difference in ability between boys and girls in maths and science, less than 35 per cent of graduates in STEM subjects worldwide are women and there are even fewer in engineering and information technology. Why is it important to involve more women and girls in science? When one group o

No rainforest is exactly the same, but they all have a role to play in maintaining the world as we know it. Do the preparation task first. Then read the article and do the exercise. A world like no other – perhaps this is the best way to describe the world of the rainforest. No rainforest is exactly the same, yet most rainforests are now distributed in the small land area 22.5 degrees north and 22.5 degrees south of the equator, between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. You can find tropical rainforests in South America and Indonesia. Other rainforests flourish further from the equator, in Thailand and Sri Lanka. Despite occupying a relatively small area, rainforests have a colossal role to play in maintaining the world as we know it. Tropical rainforests are home to a rich, colourful variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single

Here, you are dealing with cold numbers, and are in a certain amount of control regarding the choices you make. The major question for those starring is whether this type of wagering can serve up a consistent kind of winning pattern. Is Sports Betting profitable? Yes, it is. It all depends on how you go about it. See, the experienced handicapper does not respond to sentiment like the rest of the betting public. He uses a wide range of sources to determine what could sway things in a particular way and draws his own spreads. He tinkers with this until the last minute and then compares what he has with the bookmakers’ official figures. It takes some work, but it has the capacity to take you ever so closer to a win. Speaking from the perspective of cold numbers, you generally just need to be ri

Read the text to find out some curious facts about the most romantic day of the year. Do the preparation task first. Then read the article and do the exercises.
