1 He told them that land diving was an ancient custom for the Pentecost islanders.

1 Yet by the time of his death in 1227, Genghis Khan ... ruled an empire that was twice the size of the Roman Empire, and four times the size of the empire of Alexander the Great.
2 He created order by introducing strict laws. No woman was to be sold into marriage. To steal an animal, or to eat in front of another without offering them food, was punishable by death.

1 These exhibitions were about Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire.
2 Who exactly was Genghis Khan? And why is he considered to be so important?
3 By the time of his death, he ruled an empire that was twice the size of the Roman Empire, and four times the size of the Empire of Alexander the Great.
4 Temujin united his people by rewarding those who served him well and creating order through strict laws.
5 Two examples of Temujin’s “military tactics”: (1) His campaigns were lightning fast,
and the army either terrified or tricked cities into surrendering. (2) He was quick in learning from his enemies, and used their weapons against them.
6 Examples:They were used to riding for hours on end with very little food. They ate mainly meat, milk and yogurt, so needed no supplies of grain to make bread. They were herdsmen, and took their animals with them wherever they went. The armies were very well organised and could out-think their enemies as well as out fight them. They pretended to be beaten, let their enemies pursue them, and then attacked when they were exhausted. They could move in the coldest part of the year.
7 Success in war changed the Mongols. They learned some arts of peace from some of their prisoners, and they became consumers. The empire grew to satisfy their needs.
8 in a book named The Secret History of the Mongols.

1 For example, in the first category there are consumer magazines, national newspapers, local newspapers, newsletters and business-to-business magazines.
2 National newspapers pay the most, but tend to take on journalists who already have experience working on a regional or local newspaper.

4 These vary greatly. For example … create the pages.
5 Obviously you need to be able to write in a clear style, which can be easily understood. You also have to have good grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Russian scientists chose dogs as the most suitable animal to send into space because they felt that dogs would be able to endure the long periods of inactivity better than other animals. When they first started sending dogs into space, they took small unwanted dogs from the streets of Moscow and sent them to research centres where they were trained to stand still for long periods and also to wear pressurized suits and helmets. During the year 1951-1952, nine dogs made successful high altitude flights and three of them flew two missions.

1 Clearly the desert is on the move. This is the process experts call desertification.
2 Too many wells are dug. Moreover, there is not enough water or rain to fill reservoirs.
3 The soil dries out and is then blown away.As a result, the grazing land is destroyed.
4 Ultimately, it’s not only the farmers and villagers who suffer.
5 The fact is, a great deal of work is already under way.
6 The lesson to be learnt lies beneath the sand. For example, more than three hundred ancient cities were swallowed up by the desert hundreds of years ago.
