In Mediterranean countries, it is hot and dry in summer – perfect for tourists hoping to be out and about, sightseeing or enjoying sunny beaches. Rain falls during the other three seasons in this region. For the people who live in countries close to the northern part of the Indian Ocean (like India and Bangladesh) however, summer is the ‘rainy season’. And, in this part of the world, the term ‘rainy season’ means monsoons. The monsoon rains usually begin in June and end in September. During this period, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted towards the sun. This means that in India, for example, the sun is directly overhead at noon, and its rays heat up the ground a lot more than they would in December or January. As a result, the land becomes very hot and heats the air above it. This hot air rises and, as it does so, the air above the ocean moves inland to take its place. This air is full of moisture from the sea, however. It also rises, now being part of a powerful cycle that has been set in motion and, as it cools, it drops all its moisture on the land in the form of rain. Monsoons bring very heavy rainfall and severe flooding. They can be extremely destructive, and often cause landslides which may sweep whole villages away. Monsoons bring death and devastation but, despite this, they are usually welcomed by the farmers who depend on the water to irrigate their land. This is because these areas are usually very hot and dry in winter when the winds blow in the opposite direction (from the northeast)

and carry very little moisture. The winter heat in the South Asian subcontinent is also due to the fact that the Himalayas form an enormous barrier that prevents the cold northern air from moving south. The temperature during an Indian winter can reach as high as 43 degrees centigrade! A large percentage of the world’s population lives in regions affected by the monsoons of Asia, and most of these people are farmers. Too little rain can mean that there is not enough water to irrigate their crops, and this can result in famine. Too much rain can result in widespread flooding which, ironically, will also destroy crops and result in famine. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the monsoons appear every summer, it is still impossible to predict exactly when they will begin, how long they will last or how much rain will fall. And it is not just farmers who depend on the monsoons. In India, for example, the summer rains provide almost 90 per cent of the total water supply, and a large percentage of the country’s electricity is produced by hydroelectric plants which depend on the water brought by the monsoon rains. Technically, the term ‘monsoon’ doesn’t refer only to summer rains. It refers to the whole climatic cycle that includes both the moist summer winds and the dry winter winds which blow out from the land over the sea. Despite this, most people equate the word ‘monsoon’ with torrential rain, crop irrigation and, unfortunately, flooding and destruction.

3-Unit Tests Units 4-6 (^) Reading Comprehension

The Plastiki is a one-of-a-kind catamaran large enough for six people to live and sail on at any one time, and nearly everything about it is unusual. From the very beginning, its designers aimed to create a boat powered by renewable energy sources such as the sun, the wind and the sea, and built mostly out of recycled materials. Toxic glues are often used in conventional boat construction, but a special, fully-organic glue was developed for the Plastiki. This boat floats on approximately 12,500 plastic drinking bottles. Its mast is made from reclaimed irrigation pipe and its sails are made from recycled PET, a substance used to make certain plastics. The Plastiki even has a vertical hydroponic garden in order to grow nutritious plants for the crew, and a water catchment system that filters rainwater to use for drinking. But can this revolutionary boat really sail?

On 20th^ March 2010, after being tested on a lot of short trips, the Plastiki set off from San Francisco Bay. More than four months later, after a challenging journey across the Pacific, the largest ocean in the world, the catamaran arrived in Sydney, Australia. During the journey this unusual craft and its crew survived four-metre-high waves, wild winds and extremely high temperatures that lasted for days. For the first time in sailing history, a boat floating on plastic bottles completed an ocean journey of over 15,000 kilometres!

But the Plastiki voyage was not just about having a fantastic adventure. The leader of the expedition, David de Rothschild, shocked at the environmental devastation humans have caused, believed that news of the Plastiki voyage could send out a global message and raise awareness of the dangers of plastic waste. With the amount of media attention the Plastiki has received, the sad reality of the catastrophic effects of plastic on our oceans – and our planet – is certainly more widely understood now.

Most marine pollution is caused by plastic materials. Scientists have discovered two enormous garbage patches in the North Pacific Ocean and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean where millions of tiny pieces of plastic gather. This plastic is consumed by marine life and seabirds. Toxic plastic is then passed into the food chain and we end up eating it! In addition, scientists believe that at least one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles die every year as a result of eating plastic or being strangled by it. The Plastiki crew were shocked by the amount of rubbish they saw floating around the ocean. They were also saddened by the fact that they saw relatively little marine life on the voyage. Sea expeditions that took place fifty years ago recorded that the crew ate fish every day and that they couldn’t swim in the sea for fear of sharks. The Plastiki crew saw very few sharks and caught only a couple of fish.

But the Plastiki message is not all negative. It teaches us that we have the power to change our behaviour and our attitudes so that we can help protect the environment. By recognising that waste is a result of human activity, we should be inspired to search for solutions to the problems of plastic waste that are threatening our planet.

The Simmons European University of the Arts (SEUA) is regarded as one of the best and most specialised institutions of its kind, and has produced some of the finest contemporary designers, directors, photographers, actors and musicians. The guiding principle of SEUA is to encourage questioning, experimentation and discovery in its diverse student body. Marios Papastavrou is in his second year of a Computer Games Design course. When he was younger, he never dreamt that one day he would be able to study his passion at university. His obsession with computer games was the source of many arguments with his parents, but now they couldn’t be prouder of their son. Marios’s course includes a lot more than he’d ever imagined, such as 3-D modelling, but his teachers have been able to help him understand the relevance of everything he is expected to learn. He says, “The best thing is that when I get my degree, I won’t be limited to designing games. I’ll be qualified to work in web design, advertising and publishing too. That’s important, because it could take years for me to get into one of the few great game design companies that I have my eye on, and I have to make a living in the meantime!” Fulani Adu is a first-year international student who is really excited about studying Fashion Design at the same institution where some of her favourite designers, such as Stella Carson and Julian Ivanovich, got their degrees. “The course is really hard work,” says Fulani, “but I love the atmosphere and get a tremendous amount of satisfaction every time I finish a challenging project. In

fashion, it’s really important to be able to change with the times, and our instructors work hard to prepare us to do that by teaching us to be flexible. They are always encouraging us to incorporate new elements into each of our designs.” The son of a well-known TV director, Geoffrey Lewis dreamt of the bright lights of film and television while he was growing up in central London. Now in his third year of SEUA’s Film and Television course, Geoffrey has studied various production methods and has been encouraged to develop his own style of directing. He told us, “The best thing about my course is that I get to work with students from other departments such as animation, drama and fashion design. That’s great practice for the real world, where I’ll always have to work with a team of people from different fields.” Lin Chang , a young woman from China, is also in her third year at SEUA. She hopes to receive her degree in fine arts this September. At the moment, Lin and the other students in her department are organising a formal public exhibition of their work as part of their course requirements. Lin says, “My time here has been a real eye-opener, artistically speaking. I arrived thinking that I wanted to learn how to paint portraits and landscapes like my mother, who’s a successful artist back home. Now, I’m into video art and mixed-media collages with social and political messages! My teachers have really helped me explore all aspects of my artistic abilities, and exposed me to the many different directions I can choose to take in my future career.”
