Yumi's Picture

Hello everyone!

Let's practice your reading in English with this art description.

Yumi's Picture



This is a picture by my friend Yumi. It shows a lively scene outdoors. I think she used bright pastels on white paper.

Yumi's picture is so colourful. In the background there's a big blue sky. It's a sunny day. There are some tall buildings which are all different colours and shapes. In the foreground the grass is bright green and there's a path going up to the buildings. Maybe it's the park near her house?

There are so many details in Linda's picture too. On the left there's a multicoloured cat with pointy ears. In the middle, there's a small blue cat with zigzag stripes on its tail. Above the cats there's a butterfly, flying around in the sunshine. Can you see the coloured spots on its wings? I like the yellow cat most of all. It looks a bit like a castle!

I love this picture because every time I look at it, I see different things. At first I thought there were only buildings in the background, but then I noticed the butterfly! Yumi has so much imagination. Look at the right of the picture. What do you think the dark red outline shows? It isn't very clear, but sometimes I see a large bird with light blue wings, and other times I think it could be a streetlight. And I always see a different number of cats! This happens a lot in Yumi's picture. It's really fun! It makes me think of a story I read once about a magic town, where everyone has adventures. I love it because it's bright and cheerful and it makes me feel happy.

I'd give this picture the title 'A Summer's Day'. I'd like to have it in my kitchen because it would make everyone smile in the mornings while we're eating breakfast.

What do you see while looking at the picture?

Comprehension: Martin's Vacation

Hello Everyone!

Lets's read the story and answer the questions that follow; match the questions (numbers) and answers (letters).

Martin's Vacation

Martin had a terrible day yesterday. It was the day of his vacation to Spain but it was a nightmare. He left the house at 10 o'clock in the morning and caught a taxi to the airport.

Martin went to the check-in with his luggage. When the man who worked for the airline asked for his passport, Martin became very upset. Where was his passport? Martin realized he didn't have his passport with him. What a disaster!

He jumped back into the taxi and told the driver to take him home. The driver drove quickly and Martin arrived back at his house in twenty minutes.

He ran into the house and went into his bedroom. He found his passport on the bedside table and left the house again. But the taxi wasn't there! Where was the taxi!

Martin jumped up and down angrily. "I don't believe it. The taxi left!" he shouted. He ran down the street and looked for another taxi.

After a few minutes, Martin found another taxi and told the driver to take him to the airport as quickly as possible. The traffic on the roads was very bad and, unfortunately, Martin's taxi arrived at the airport late. His plane left for Spain at 11.30 and Martin missed it. He was very sad and went to speak to the airline. They promised to get him a seat on an evening flight and Martin went home on another taxi to wait.

National Beach Day

Hello Everyone!

Do you like going to the beach?

Beaches are beautiful and amazing to enjoy! But they also need to be taken care of and National Beach Day is a time where people are encouraged to do just that.

Let's read about National Beach Day.

National Beach Day is celebrated on August 30th every year. This year, 2023, National Beach Day will occur on a Wednesday.

Beaches are places that are beloved by so many, with access to salt-water oceans or fresh-water lakes, beaches encourage healthy and fun outdoor activities like swimming, sports, building sandcastles, having a picnic, playing frisbee and simply enjoying the feel of sand between the toes.

But just like many of the earth’s precious areas, the world’s beaches are degrading due to human interference as well as global climate change. National Beach Day certainly encouraged people to spend time enjoying the beaches, as well as making them more enjoyable for everyone.

National Beach Day was founded in 2014 by animal activist and lifestyle expert, Colleen Paige. Her motivation for starting the day was to get humans to clean up the natural resources of the beaches to make them beautiful and sustainable so everyone can enjoy them for a long time into the future.

National Immunization Awareness Month (August, 2023)

Hello everyone!

Let's read about National Immunization Awareness.

August is National Immunization Month, a time to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.

Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. However, because vaccines contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO):

An estimated 25 million children under the age of 1 year did not receive basic vaccines, which is the highest number since 2009.

Immunization currently prevents 3.5-5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles.


Vaccines protect us from dangerous preventable diseases like Chickenpox, Flu, Hepatitis, Measles, Mumps, Meningococcal, Pneumonia, Shingles, Pertussis (whooping cough), Polio and more. Vaccines not only help protect us and those we love from getting these diseases, they also help prevent spreading diseases to those that are unvaccinated.
