Science
Not many
people remember 1_____ dreams. For
most people, dreams disappear as soon 2_____they
wake up. However, according 3_____
Stephen LaBerge, 4_____ practice we can put ourselves into a state
where we know we 5_____ dreaming.
Stephen has
called 6_____ state’lucid’ dreaming.
It means that having a dream is just 7_____
watching a film.
But with 8_____ big difference – you are in
control.
Many artists
have used lucid dreams 9_____
experimemt with shapes and colours, while writers can try out plots and dialogue.
It is similar 10_____ daydreaming
except that it’s much 11_____ powerful.
However, Stefan
admits there is 12_____ problem. «Learning to
lucid-dream can 13_____ quite
hard,’’ he says. ’You 14_____ to
follow a series of exercises to became aware 15_____ you are dreaming,
and that can take month.’’ She he has invented a device to train you to
recognize a lucid dream straight away. It’s called ‘Dream Light’ and is a mask
worn 16_____ the eyes. ‘’When you
start to dream,’’ he says, ’It recognizes your rapid eye movements, and a light
begins to flash inside 17_____ mask.
When you see the light in your dream, you say to 18_____ ‘’Aha! The Dream Light! That means I’m dreaming!’’

Flying high
For some people danger and risk is a 1_____ of life. There are stuntmen who 2_____ their lives making movies, there are people who work with
dangerous animals, there are bungee jumpers and there are sky divers – and
there are wing walkers. That’s right, wing walkers. You may wonder 3_____ what a wing walker does. We
interviewed Tanya Saunders from The Red
Devils Flying Circus to find out.
"To be 4_____,
wing walking is just like any acrobatics ," says Tanya. "The only
difference is you do your 5_____ on
the wing of a small plane 1,500 ft off the ground."
Sounds like
fun? Well, according to Tanya, it is. She became a wing walker when she was
21 and 6______ the last two years up
in the skies of Europe performing aerobatics
for The Red Devils Flying Circus.
"Its great", she says, "but it’s not easy. I 7_____ my very first air show. I was
quite 8_____ of the fact that I had
memorised my moves, but then once I was in the air I forget everything!"
So to 9_____ success as I
wing walkers, you need to remain calm. You also need to be on 10_____ form.

At the ski resort
Thanks for your letter. I’ve been at the ski resort 1_____ three weeks now. It’s hard work but I am enjoying 2_____. If you decide 3_____ come here next winter, the 4____ thing to do is to apply now.
There are lots of jobs, but also lots of students who want them!
You asked me 5_____ the work
here. Well, the thing most students do is look 6_____ the chalets. This means that you 7______ get up early every morning – about 6 o’clock – and cook
breakfast for 8______ skiers in your
chalet. Sometimes there 9______ be
eight people to cook for! After breakfast, most people go skiing, so you 10______ the beds, do the washing up
and generally tide up.
In the afternoon you will have a free time, so you should bring alone
your skies and you only need to pay for going out in the evenings!
I hope this helps. I shall write again soon.
Love, Susie
