Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people—they are a cheap and easy way to see a country. People often travel by train, by coach or on foot, so one thing is important to remember before starting: you can only take with you what you can carry—usually in a rucksack on your back.

If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared—tent, a gas stove, food. Other things must be taken by each person—clothes, footwear, a sleeping bag.

So you must be sure of how much you can carry. Most people find 10 kg about right. Much more than that and you need another holiday when you get home! And remember, if the weather is wet your rucksack is heavier.

1. Why are camping holidays very popular with students and young people? 2. In what ways do they often travel?

3. How do they usually carry things with them?

You probably know that the African elephant is the world’s largest land mammal. But do you know about the world’s largest fish?

A whale shark is sometimes called a “gentle giant”. The biggest whale shark weighed 24,250 pounds and was nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus. Whale sharks do not eat people! Humans do not need to be afraid of them.

Inside that large mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some math. The whale shark’s teeth are in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw and around three hundred teeth in each row. An average whale shark has at least _____ teeth. Some shale sharks have even more.

The whale shark rarely uses its teeth, though. It does not chew its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through the shark’s gills.

It was only a few years ago that scientists discovered how whale shark babies are born. Afemale shale shark hatches eggs inside her body. Then she gives birth to live young called pups. One whale shark was recorded as having three hundred pups!

For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish.
