When sixteen-year-old Daniel Kovač noticed how many plastic bottles were thrown away at his school every day, he decided to count them. In a single week, he collected 1,400 bottles from the corridors and playground. Shocked by the number, he wrote to the head teacher suggesting recycling bins for every classroom. The reply was polite but discouraging: the school could not afford the bins, and the council did not collect recycling from schools.

Instead of giving up, Daniel contacted a local plastics company, which agreed to pay a small amount for every kilogram of bottles delivered to its factory. He organised a rota of volunteers to collect and weigh the bottles, and within a term the project was earning enough to buy the bins the school had said it could not afford. By the end of the year, eleven other schools in the region had copied his scheme.

Daniel is modest about his success. "I didn't invent anything," he says. "I just refused to accept that nothing could be done. The hardest part wasn't the recycling — it was convincing adults that a teenager had a serious plan worth listening to."

Question: How did the project eventually pay for the recycling bins?

Dear Ana,

I'm at the gym until seven, so please start dinner. The soup is already in the fridge — just warm it up on the cooker, but don't make it too hot! Then wash the tomatoes and cut some bread. Grandma is coming at half past seven, so please put four plates on the table, not three. Oh, and take the ice cream out of the freezer at seven — it's too hard to eat when it's frozen. Thanks! You're the best.

Mum

Question: Where is Mum while Ana starts dinner?

Twenty years ago, the fishing village of Portelo appeared in few guidebooks, and its narrow streets belonged to the 800 people who lived there. Then a budget airline opened a route to the regional airport, a film crew used the harbour as a location, and photographs of its painted houses began to spread on social media. Today Portelo receives close to 9,000 visitors a day in high season — more than ten times its population.

The effects have been dramatic. Souvenir shops and cafés have replaced the bakery, the pharmacy and the fishmonger, forcing residents to drive to the next town for basic shopping. Rents have tripled as landlords convert apartments into holiday lets, and younger families, unable to compete, have moved inland. The village school, which had 70 pupils a decade ago, now has 23.

The local council is trying to regain control. Coaches must now park outside the village, day-trippers pay a small entry fee in July and August, and new holiday-rental licences have been suspended. Critics say these measures arrived a decade too late, and that Portelo has already traded its identity for tourist income. Supporters reply that without tourism the village would have declined anyway, as fishing alone could no longer support it.

Question: What point does the writer make about shops in Portelo?

Class 7B visited the city zoo last Friday. The children liked the monkeys best because they were funny and made a lot of noise. The elephants were sleeping, so the class couldn't see them well. At midday, everyone ate sandwiches near the lake, and a duck stole Simon's bread — the whole class laughed, even Simon! In the afternoon, a zookeeper told them how the zoo helps sick birds. The children were surprised that the zoo has a small animal hospital. On the bus home, everyone agreed: it was the best school trip this year.

Question: Why did the children like the monkeys best?

The image is seductive: gleaming towers in the middle of the city, growing lettuce and strawberries on twenty floors, using no soil and a fraction of the water demanded by conventional farming. Vertical farms, their supporters claim, could feed the world's growing cities while returning farmland to nature. Investors have poured billions into the industry over the past decade. So why have several of its biggest names gone bankrupt?

The answer, unglamorously, is electricity. Plants outdoors receive sunlight free of charge; plants indoors must be lit, and lighting twenty floors of crops consumes enormous amounts of power. When energy prices surged in 2022, the economics of many vertical farms collapsed overnight. It is telling that the crops the industry grows profitably — herbs, salad leaves, berries — are those that are light, perishable and expensive. Nobody grows wheat in a tower, because a loaf of vertical-farm bread would cost roughly twenty times the ordinary price.

This does not mean the technology is worthless. In countries that import most of their vegetables, or in regions where drought makes ordinary farming precarious, the ability to grow food reliably indoors may justify the cost. But as a solution to global hunger, the vertical farm remains what it has always been: an answer to a question, though not to the question its promoters like to cite.

Question: What is the writer's overall view of vertical farming?

When the software company where Elena Marsh worked announced in 2021 that its employees could work from anywhere permanently, she did what tens of thousands of others have since done: she left the city. She sold her one-bedroom flat, bought a house with a garden in a town of 4,000 people, and cut her commute from ninety minutes to nine seconds.

Towns like hers have been transformed by this quiet migration. The population of Alderton has grown by 12 per cent in four years, the primary school has a waiting list for the first time in living memory, and the high street — half-empty in 2019 — now supports two cafés, a bookshop and a co-working space. House prices, inevitably, have followed: up 40 per cent since 2020, to the dismay of local families whose wages have not moved at anything like the same rate. "The newcomers bring money and energy," says one long-term resident, "but my daughter, who was born here, cannot afford a house here. That cannot be right."

Economists are divided over whether the shift will last. Some point out that several large employers have already begun calling staff back to the office three days a week, which puts distant towns out of reach. Others argue the change has passed the point of no return: once a company has hired employees it has never met, in cities it has no office in, geography stops being a rule and becomes a preference.

Question: What does the phrase 'geography stops being a rule and becomes a preference' suggest?

Last spring, Marta finally did something she had been thinking about for years: she left her office job in the capital and moved to a small town in the mountains. Her friends thought she was making a mistake. "You'll be bored within a month," they warned her. At first, they seemed to be right. The town had one supermarket, no cinema, and the bus to the nearest city ran only twice a day. Marta missed her colleagues and the noise of the city more than she expected.

However, things slowly changed. She started teaching online in the mornings, which gave her a steady income, and in the afternoons she helped at a local farm in exchange for fresh vegetables. She joined a hiking group, where she met people of all ages who shared her love of the outdoors. After six months, when a former colleague offered her a well-paid position back in the capital, she surprised herself by refusing it without hesitation. "I sleep better, I spend less, and for the first time in years I know all my neighbours' names," she wrote on her blog. "Why would I give that up?"

Question: How did Marta feel during her first weeks in the town?

On Saturday, Marko got up early because it was his grandfather's birthday. First, he went to the bakery and bought a chocolate cake. Then he took the bus to his grandfather's village, about half an hour from the city. His cousins were already there, and they all had lunch in the garden. After lunch, Grandfather opened his presents. Marko gave him a warm scarf. "It's perfect for the winter," Grandfather said with a big smile. Marko got home at nine in the evening, tired but happy.

Question: How did Marko travel to the village?
