Fish farming for the future by Aimswell, 14, Tobago I'm Aimswell and I live on the island of Tobago in the West Indies. Like lots of people here, my father is a fisherman and he taught me to fish when I was about five. I love it and have even won some prizes in fishing competitions. Local people here fish for themselves and some of them even supply fish to the big hotels. Recently everyone has started to notice that there are not as many fish in the sea as there used to be and the fish that we are catching now are really small, still young. If everyone keeps catching all the fish when they are so young, we may soon run out. I am involved in a programme at my school to find a way for people in Tobago to be able to continue eating fish without making the ones in the sea rare. My teacher, Mr Peters, started it a little while ago with help from a holiday company and a UK charity that cares for places where people go on holiday. The project is teaching all the kids in my school about fishing sustainably. This means learning about ways that we can eat fish without running out in the future. We are farming a freshwater fish called tilapia which people can grow in their homes and gardens in tanks, instead of catching lots of fish out of the seas. We look after the fish during our agricultural science lessons. It's my favorite lesson because we get to go outside and work in our school vegetable garden and look after the fish. I am in charge of the fish at the moment. They will grow big enough to eat in about four months. We have two different types of tilapia and they will each taste different when we eat them at last. They are really easy to look after as all they need to eat is water plants which we grow here too. Mr Peters hopes that when all the kids at my school go home and show their parents how we have grown fish at school, they can do the same at home. He hopes that one day everyone in Tobago will be able to do it. I love working on the project because it is fun but also because it teaches us business skills and ways to help protect the environment. For example, none of the water we use for the fish is wasted as we use it to water our vegetables. It won't be long until our fish are big enough to eat and then we will learn some nice recipes so we can cook and enjoy them at last. Look at the sentence below to decide if it is correct or incorrect according to the text. The children are learning about a fish which lives in fresh water. Đáp án đúng là: Correct

The Hockey Dad - one to watch?
There's an old saying in the theatre world 'Never work with children or animals' It's a great pity that Harold Greymont has never heard this piece of advice, or if he has come across it, that he didn't pay more attention to it It's not so much that The Hockey Dad is a bad film, although I can't find many reasons for saying it's a good one It's more that it makes me angry The thing that annoys me is that Greymont is a brilliant actor Anyone who saw him
in Romeo and Juliet on the stage in New York knows that So what's he doing in this kind of nonsense?
It's a story about a shy, small-town bank clerk who is temporarily mistaken for the manager
of the unsuccessful hockey team at his son's primary school He has to find a way to encourage the players when they are about to play the regional champions, who haven't been beaten for three seasons His unusual methods are surprisingly successful and by the middle of the season the team has done much better than anyone expected
Unfortunately, there's trouble waiting because the real team manager (who is an unpopular local businessman) is very jealous of him But, surprise, surprise, the team's school friends find a way to solve his problems I won't say how, as it's the only part of the film that's even slightly original or amusing If you see it, you'll be annoyed with me for telling you But my advice is, when it comes to a cinema near you - go and play hockey instead

I'm Aimswell and I live on the island of Tobago in the West Indies Like lots of people here, my father is a fisherman and he taught me to fish when I was about five I love it and have even won some prizes in fishing competitions Local people here fish for themselves and some of them even supply fish to the big hotels Recently everyone has started to notice that there are not as many fish in the sea
as there used to be and the fish that we are catching now are really small, still young If everyone keeps catching all the fish when they are so young, we may soon run out
I am involved in a programme at my school to find a way for people in Tobago to be able to continue eating fish without making the ones in the sea rare My teacher, Mr Peters, started it a little while ago with help from a holiday company and a UK charity that cares for places where people go on holiday The project is teaching all the kids in my school about fishing sustainably This means learning about ways that we can eat fish without running out in the future We are farming a freshwater fish called tilapia which people can grow in their homes and gardens in tanks, instead of catching lots of fish out of the seas
We look after the fish during our agricultural science lessons It's my favorite lesson because we get to go outside and work in our school vegetable garden and look after the fish I am in charge of the fish at the moment They will grow big enough to eat in about four months We have two different types of tilapia and they will each taste different when we eat them at last They are really easy to look after
as all they need to eat is water plants which we grow here too Mr Peters hopes that when all the kids at my school go home and show their parents how we have grown fish at school, they can do the same at home He hopes that one day everyone in Tobago will be able to do it
I love working on the project because it is fun but also because it teaches us business skills and ways to help protect the environment For example, none of the water we use for the fish is wasted as we use it to water our vegetables
It won't be long until our fish are big enough to eat and then we will learn some nice recipes so we can cook and enjoy them at last

Earth Day
We celebrated Earth Day in my city last week The idea of this special day began in the 1960s when life was very different Few people talked, or even thought, about the environment Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were This attitude bothered Gaylord Nelson, who was a senator in the US government, and he had an idea If people around the world knew the planet was in danger, they might work harder to save it, so he just needed to get their attention The first Earth Day was just in the United States but it led to events every year all around the world on April 22 or the nearest weekend, depending on where you are
In my town, last Saturday afternoon lots of people rode their bikes from the park, around the town together and back to the park, taking as much time as they possibly could, so that the cars had to wait Then we talked to all the drivers in cars which just had one person in them, to explain how wasteful that is and how much pollution it causes The idea was to make people think about how much they use their cars In other places, people collected plastic bags for a week and then made
a pile of them in the town square You can do anything as long as it makes people
of all ages come together for a few hours and talk about the environment Last year
we had a big music event for young people Some people said it was a waste of time, but there was information for people to read and announcements between the bands about how to help protect the environment
