, all the pupils have a water bottle on their desk.
They can drink as much water as they want and then
fill up their bottle from the tap. Mrs Harris, head
teacher, told our reporter, ‘Everyone needs to drink a
lot of water – it’s good for our bodies, our brains and
it’s free. Some children drink too many fizzy drinks.
Soft drinks and colas have too much sugar – they are
unhealthy and they cause discipline problems.’

The Year Five teacher said, ‘After only two
weeks, things were a lot better in my classroom.
Now, the children concentrate better and they are
more awake in the afternoons. In the past, when
they drank sugary drinks, they were much noisier
and didn’t behave well. Day after day, I used to see
tired and bad-tempered children who couldn’t learn
because they were thirsty. I also saw children going
into the school sick-room with ‘illnesses’ which
could be ‘cured’ with a glass of water.’

, ‘I think it’s a very good idea. Water is better for
the children and it doesn’t cost anything. I now give
the children more water at home and I think they
are healthier and happier.’ Another mother added,

always has a bottle of water next to him. Why can’t
our children have the same?’

A
On 28th December I took my five-year-old brother there to celebrate his
birthday. We chose your café because you promise party bags for children
celebrating their birthdays. On the day we went, there were no party bags
so my brother was very upset. Unfortunately, when I spoke to the manager
he was rude and unhelpful. For example, my brother was crying and the
manager told him to ‘grow up’.

I understand that at a busy time of year you may not always have the free

Read them and complete the sentence.
A
This level of difficulty means that only thirty
monks completed the challenge in the whole
of the twentieth century. In previous centuries,
men died and their graves are along the
route of the race. For the monks who enter
the race, there is no room for failure: if they
don’t complete the course, they have to kill
themselves (although there haven’t been any
suicides since the nineteenth century).
B
For the first three years of training, the monks
run 40 kilometres a day for 100 days. In years
four and five, they have to run the same
distance but for 200 days. In the last two years
of training, things get even more arduous. By
the sixth year, they have enough stamina to
run 60 kilometres a day for 100 days and this is
increased to 84 kilometres – or two marathons
a day – in the seventh year. To add to the
difficulty of the test, they must stop and pray at
260 temples on the route which means the run
can take 20 hours so they have very little time
for sleep.
C
These Japanese monks complete a challenge
in which they run two marathons, every day
for one hundred days. They do this incredible
test of strength to increase their spiritual
knowledge. To have the right level of fitness for
this extraordinary challenge, they have to train
for seven years.
