Life in the Savannah

There are many different types of animals that live in the vast and open savannah. The species found in savannahs vary greatly by the geographic location of the biome.

Animals that are native to African savannahs include African elephants, zebras, horses, and tall giraffes. Many animals in the savannah are herbivores, which means they eat plants, and there is plenty of grass in the savannah for them to feed on. During the rainy months, animals thrive in the savannah because there is abundant food and water everywhere, but the rainy season is only half the year.

During the dry season, surface water from the rain is quickly absorbed into the ground by thirsty soils. The competition for water during the dry season is so intense that most birds and many of the large mammals migrate elsewhere in search of water. Depending on the severity of the drought, the migration may be to a place nearby, or far away across the landscape.

The dry season is often associated with dangerous fires that sweep across the grasslands. Many insects with short life spans die in these fires, but the birds and larger animals are usually able to fly or run to safety.

Although small burrowing animals probably can’t outrun the flames, they often survive the fire by burying themselves deep into the ground and remaining there until the flames are gone.

Some birds, such as the fork-tailed drongos, don’t flee the fires; they actually fly toward the fires. For these clever birds, fire means dinner. They eat the fleeing or flame-roasted insects that escape from the burning grass.

Задание 1. What determines which animals live in the savannah?
How long the rainy season lasts.
The number of plants growing there.
Where in the world the savannah is.

Задание 2. What do we learn about herbivores in the savannah?

The Chef

Have you ever cooked something that was burnt on the outside but raw in the middle? Have you ever grilled meat that was too rare or too well done? Has a pot ever boiled over? Has a cake ever stuck to a pan? Have you ever made food that was too greasy, too spicy, or too salty?

Cooking has its challenges! Now imagine cooking with your eyes closed. Imagine that additional challenge. That is what cooking is like for Laura Martinez. She is a blind chef.

When Laura was one year old, she was diagnosed with cancerous tumors in both her eyes. Doctors succeeded in curing the cancer with drugs and radiation, but they couldn’t save Laura’s sight.

Incredibly, for most of her childhood, Laura didn’t know that she was blind. Born in Mexico, she grew up in a house surrounded by big trees that she climbed with her cousins. Her family and friends always treated her normally, and she had no reason to think that she was disabled in any way. When she was nine years old, her family moved to the United States. It wasn’t until the summer before middle school that her family told her that she was blind. Until then, she had assumed that everyone experienced the world the way she did through sound, touch, smell, and taste. She was shocked to learn that there was a fifth sense-sight.

Laura was a good learner, and she did well in middle school and high school. After she graduated from high school, she left home to go to college. She planned to major in psychology and become a psychologist because she knew there were blind psychologists. But she dropped out of college after the first year. She didn’t leave because of experiences she had in the college’s classrooms. She left because of experiences she had in the college’s cafeteria.

Every time Laura walked into the cafeteria, she noticed the smells first. She couldn’t help but compare them to the smells in her mother’s kitchen back home. She remembered especially the smell of mole, a Mexican sauce made with chili peppers, black pepper, cinnamon, and cumin. When her mother ground the spices for mole, Laura thought the kitchen smelled awesome, so different from the cafeteria, which she thought smelled weird. She thought, too, about the fresh ingredients her mother used in her cooking. She suspected that the ingredients in the cafeteria food didn’t come fresh from gardens, markets, or farms. They came from bottles, cans, and boxes.

Sitting in the cafeteria, trying to eat meals she hated, Laura realized that food, not psychology, was her passion. She didn’t want to be a psychologist. She wanted to be a chef.

Fortunately for Laura, there was a great culinary school, Le Cordon Bleu, in Chicago, just a few hours from her parents’ home. Unfortunately for Laura, the school was not interested in having her as a student. She wondered if it was because she was blind.

Determined to get into the school, she made an appointment to talk to someone in the president’s office. The man she talked to was sympathetic. «My mother is blind, too,» he told Laura, «but I don’t think she’s capable of doing something like cooking at Le Cordon Bleu.» Laura responded, «How do you know? Give me a chance. And if I’m not able to succeed here, I’ll pick up my things and leave—you won’t even have to kick me out.» Laura was admitted to Le Cordon Bleu.

In her last year of culinary school, Laura had some extraordinary luck. A famous chef — the owner of one of Chicago’s top restaurants — stopped by for a visit. He paused in his tour of the kitchen to watch Laura. She was cooking by smell, taste, and touch, even touching simmering liquids to make sure the temperature was right. He tasted a piece of chicken Laura had cooked and then said, «You’re going to work for me, right?»

«That would be an honor,» Laura replied. After she graduated from culinary school, Laura started working at the restaurant. It was her dream job. «We were like family,» she remembers. «No one ever said, ‘You can’t do this because you can’t see’.”

For three years, she prepped, cleaned, chopped, and cooked alongside Chicago’s best chefs. She learned new techniques. Customers frequently praised her dishes. Many returned, requesting meals she had prepared and complimenting her on the exceptional quality of the food.

The Chef

Have you ever cooked something that was burnt on the outside but raw in the middle? Have you ever grilled meat that was too rare or too well done? Has a pot ever boiled over? Has a cake ever stuck to a pan? Have you ever made food that was too greasy, too spicy, or too salty?

Cooking has its challenges! Now imagine cooking with your eyes closed. Imagine that additional challenge. That is what cooking is like for Laura Martinez. She is a blind chef.

When Laura was one year old, she was diagnosed with cancerous tumors in both her eyes. Doctors succeeded in curing the cancer with drugs and radiation, but they couldn’t save Laura’s sight.

Incredibly, for most of her childhood, Laura didn’t know that she was blind. Born in Mexico, she grew up in a house surrounded by big trees that she climbed with her cousins. Her family and friends always treated her normally, and she had no reason to think that she was disabled in any way. When she was nine years old, her family moved to the United States. It wasn’t until the summer before middle school that her family told her that she was blind. Until then, she had assumed that everyone experienced the world the way she did through sound, touch, smell, and taste. She was shocked to learn that there was a fifth sense-sight.

Laura was a good learner, and she did well in middle school and high school. After she graduated from high school, she left home to go to college. She planned to major in psychology and become a psychologist because she knew there were blind psychologists. But she dropped out of college after the first year. She didn’t leave because of experiences she had in the college’s classrooms. She left because of experiences she had in the college’s cafeteria.

Every time Laura walked into the cafeteria, she noticed the smells first. She couldn’t help but compare them to the smells in her mother’s kitchen back home.

Hadrian’s Wall

Hadrian’s Wall stretches 117 kilometres across northern England, from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. Built by the Romans in the 2nd century CE, it marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain. The wall was not only a defensive barrier but also a controlled border, with gates, forts, and watchtowers where soldiers checked people and goods. Today, visitors can walk along long sections of the wall, explore reconstructed forts such as Housesteads and Vindolanda, and visit museums displaying Roman artefacts. The surrounding landscape, with its rolling hills and remote farms, helps visitors imagine life on the edge of an empire. Hadrian’s Wall is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular route for hikers. It shows how the Romans organised and defended their territories, and how local communities lived under Roman rule for centuries.

Canterbury Cathedral

Canterbury Cathedral, in the south-east of England, is one of the most important Christian sites in Britain. Founded in the 6th century, it became the headquarters of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the senior bishop of the Church of England. The cathedral is famous for its Gothic architecture, including tall arches, stained-glass windows, and intricate stone carvings. In 1170, Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered inside the cathedral, turning it into a major place of pilgrimage. Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales describes pilgrims travelling there. Today, the cathedral remains a centre of worship and tourism. It has hosted royal weddings, coronations of kings, and state funerals. Canterbury Cathedral symbolises both religious devotion and the complex relationship between church and monarchy in English history.

Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace, on the outskirts of London, was originally built for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in the 1520s. When Wolsey fell from power, King Henry VIII took the palace and expanded it into a grand royal residence. The building combines Tudor brickwork with later Baroque additions, creating a striking mix of architectural styles. Visitors can walk through the State Apartments, the Great Hall, and Henry VIII’s kitchens, which give a vivid picture of court life. The palace is also famous for its maze, gardens, and the historic tennis court, one of the oldest in the world. Hampton Court has been home to several monarchs and has witnessed dramatic events, including the birth of Edward VI and the imprisonment of courtiers. Today, it is open to the public and offers a glimpse into the luxury, politics, and scandals of the Tudor and Stuart courts.

York Minster

York Minster, located in the city of York in northern England, is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe. Construction began in the 13th century and continued for over 250 years, resulting in a building full of pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and elaborate stone decorations. The cathedral’s stained-glass windows, especially the Great East Window, are among the finest in the world. York Minster has survived fires, storms, and even a lightning strike, each time being carefully restored. It has been the site of royal weddings, christenings, and important church ceremonies. Climbing the central tower offers panoramic views over the medieval city and its narrow streets. The Minster is not only a place of worship but also a repository of art, music, history. It reflects the wealth and ambition of medieval York and continues to play a central role in the life of the city.

Greenwich and the Royal Observatory

Greenwich, in south-east London, is famous for its maritime history and the Royal Observatory. Founded in 1675 by King Charles II, the observatory was created to improve navigation by studying the stars and developing accurate timekeeping. The Prime Meridian, the line of 0° longitude, passes through the observatory, dividing the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), based on this meridian, became the world’s standard for time. Visitors can stand on the Prime Meridian line, explore historic telescopes, and learn about famous astronomers such as John Flamsteed and Edmond Halley. The area also includes the Cutty Sark, a preserved 19th-century tea clipper, and the National Maritime Museum. Greenwich shows how Britain’s naval power, science, and trade were connected, and why this small part of London became a global reference point for time and navigation.

The Chef

Have you ever cooked something that was burnt on the outside but raw in the middle? Have you ever grilled meat that was too rare or too well done? Has a pot ever boiled over? Has a cake ever stuck to a pan? Have you ever made food that was too greasy, too spicy, or too salty?

Cooking has its challenges! Now imagine cooking with your eyes closed. Imagine that additional challenge. That is what cooking is like for Laura Martinez. She is a blind chef.

When Laura was one year old, she was diagnosed with cancerous tumors in both her eyes. Doctors succeeded in curing the cancer with drugs and radiation, but they couldn’t save Laura’s sight.

Incredibly, for most of her childhood, Laura didn’t know that she was blind. Born in Mexico, she grew up in a house surrounded by big trees that she climbed with her cousins. Her family and friends always treated her normally, and she had no reason to think that she was disabled in any way. When she was nine years old, her family moved to the United States. It wasn’t until the summer before middle school that her family told her that she was blind. Until then, she had assumed that everyone experienced the world the way she did through sound, touch, smell, and taste. She was shocked to learn that there was a fifth sense-sight.

Laura was a good learner, and she did well in middle school and high school. After she graduated from high school, she left home to go to college. She planned to major in psychology and become a psychologist because she knew there were blind psychologists. But she dropped out of college after the first year. She didn’t leave because of experiences she had in the college’s classrooms. She left because of experiences she had in the college’s cafeteria.

Every time Laura walked into the cafeteria, she noticed the smells first. She couldn’t help but compare them to the smells in her mother’s kitchen back home. She remembered especially the smell of mole, a Mexican sauce made with chili peppers, black pepper, cinnamon, and cumin. When her mother ground the spices for mole, Laura thought the kitchen smelled awesome, so different from the cafeteria, which she thought smelled weird. She thought, too, about the fresh ingredients her mother used in her cooking. She suspected that the ingredients in the cafeteria food didn’t come fresh from gardens, markets, or farms. They came from bottles, cans, and boxes.

Sitting in the cafeteria, trying to eat meals she hated, Laura realized that food, not psychology, was her passion. She didn’t want to be a psychologist. She wanted to be a chef.

Fortunately for Laura, there was a great culinary school, Le Cordon Bleu, in Chicago, just a few hours from her parents’ home. Unfortunately for Laura, the school was not interested in having her as a student. She wondered if it was because she was blind.

Determined to get into the school, she made an appointment to talk to someone in the president’s office. The man she talked to was sympathetic. «My mother is blind, too,» he told Laura, «but I don’t think she’s capable of doing something like cooking at Le Cordon Bleu.» Laura responded, «How do you know? Give me a chance. And if I’m not able to succeed here, I’ll pick up my things and leave—you won’t even have to kick me out.» Laura was admitted to Le Cordon Bleu.

In her last year of culinary school, Laura had some extraordinary luck. A famous chef — the owner of one of Chicago’s top restaurants — stopped by for a visit. He paused in his tour of the kitchen to watch Laura. She was cooking by smell, taste, and touch, even touching simmering liquids to make sure the temperature was right. He tasted a piece of chicken Laura had cooked and then said, «You’re going to work for me, right?»

«That would be an honor,» Laura replied. After she graduated from culinary school, Laura started working at the restaurant. It was her dream job. «We were like family,» she remembers. «No one ever said, ‘You can’t do this because you can’t see’.”

For three years, she prepped, cleaned, chopped, and cooked alongside Chicago’s best chefs. She learned new techniques. Customers frequently praised her dishes. Many returned, requesting meals she had prepared and complimenting her on the exceptional quality of the food.

Hadrian’s Wall

Hadrian’s Wall stretches 117 kilometres across northern England, from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. Built by the Romans in the 2nd century CE, it marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain. The wall was not only a defensive barrier but also a controlled border, with gates, forts, and watchtowers where soldiers checked people and goods. Today, visitors can walk along long sections of the wall, explore reconstructed forts such as Housesteads and Vindolanda, and visit museums displaying Roman artefacts. The surrounding landscape, with its rolling hills and remote farms, helps visitors imagine life on the edge of an empire. Hadrian’s Wall is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular route for hikers. It shows how the Romans organised and defended their territories, and how local communities lived under Roman rule for centuries.

Canterbury Cathedral

Canterbury Cathedral, in the south-east of England, is one of the most important Christian sites in Britain. Founded in the 6th century, it became the headquarters of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the senior bishop of the Church of England. The cathedral is famous for its Gothic architecture, including tall arches, stained-glass windows, and intricate stone carvings. In 1170, Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered inside the cathedral, turning it into a major place of pilgrimage. Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales describes pilgrims travelling there. Today, the cathedral remains a centre of worship and tourism. It has hosted royal weddings, coronations of kings, and state funerals. Canterbury Cathedral symbolises both religious devotion and the complex relationship between church and monarchy in English history.

Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace, on the outskirts of London, was originally built for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in the 1520s. When Wolsey fell from power, King Henry VIII took the palace and expanded it into a grand royal residence. The building combines Tudor brickwork with later Baroque additions, creating a striking mix of architectural styles. Visitors can walk through the State Apartments, the Great Hall, and Henry VIII’s kitchens, which give a vivid picture of court life. The palace is also famous for its maze, gardens, and the historic tennis court, one of the oldest in the world. Hampton Court has been home to several monarchs and has witnessed dramatic events, including the birth of Edward VI and the imprisonment of courtiers. Today, it is open to the public and offers a glimpse into the luxury, politics, and scandals of the Tudor and Stuart courts.

York Minster

York Minster, located in the city of York in northern England, is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe. Construction began in the 13th century and continued for over 250 years, resulting in a building full of pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and elaborate stone decorations. The cathedral’s stained-glass windows, especially the Great East Window, are among the finest in the world. York Minster has survived fires, storms, and even a lightning strike, each time being carefully restored. It has been the site of royal weddings, christenings, and important church ceremonies. Climbing the central tower offers panoramic views over the medieval city and its narrow streets. The Minster is not only a place of worship but also a repository of art, music, and history. It reflects the wealth and ambition of medieval York and continues to play a central role in the life of the city.

Greenwich and the Royal Observatory

Greenwich, in south-east London, is famous for its maritime history and the Royal Observatory. Founded in 1675 by King Charles II, the observatory was created to improve navigation by studying the stars and developing accurate timekeeping. The Prime Meridian, the line of 0° longitude, passes through the observatory, dividing the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), based on this meridian, became the world’s standard for time. Visitors can stand on the Prime Meridian line, explore historic telescopes, and learn about famous astronomers such as John Flamsteed and Edmond Halley. The area also includes the Cutty Sark, a preserved 19th-century tea clipper, and the National Maritime Museum. Greenwich shows how Britain’s naval power, science, and trade were connected, and why this small part of London became a global reference point for time and navigation.
