F. Child Labour
G. Child labour has long been something that has concerned world leaders and community
groups. Child workers, some as young as 9, have been found working in factories in
conditions described as being close to slavery. They are contracted to produce clothes that
appear destined for popular western clothing stores because their wages are so low.
H. Some children who have been forced to work in these conditions have told reporters that they
have to work up to 18 hours a day and are regularly threatened with beatings.
I. Certain countries have been targeted by the United Nations as being hotspots for child labour.
One such country is India, where children have been discovered working in appalling
conditions. It is estimated that around 20 per cent of India's gross domestic product is the
result of child labour and that around 55 million Indian children under the age of 14 are
working.
J. It is clear that more needs to be done to ensure that countries around the world are protecting
the welfare of their youngest citizens. In addition, first world countries and companies that
buy products produced as a result of child labour need to be made more accountable for their
actions and ask themselves if cheaper prices are worth the suffering of so many children
around the world.

AF. Archaeology
AG.
The term archaeology, comes from Greek and means the study of old things.
Essentially it is the study of history through evidence gained from examining artefacts. Often
archaeologists use things like human bones and skeletons, objects made from stone and
metal, and ceramics to interpret history.
AH.
Archaeologists and historians often work together. Take, for example, the study of the
Romans, who dominated the Mediterranean area and much of Europe two thousand years
ago. We know a lot about them from their writing, and some of their most famous writers are
still quoted in English. We also know a lot about them from what they made, from their coins
to their buildings. Archaeologists have worked on Roman remains as far apart as Hadrian's
Wall in the north of England and Leptis Magna in Libya.

AI. The Romans left many written records, but many ancient peoples and cultures did not. For
much of human history, there are no written documents at all. Discovering who the first
humans were, how they lived and where did they come from is a job for archaeologists.
AJ. From evidence such as bones and tools used by early humans, they believe that humans first
appeared in Africa and began moving to other parts of the world about 80,000 years ago. The
movement of our ancestors across the planet has been mapped from their remains humans
went to Australia about 70,000 years ago, but have been in South America for just 15,000
years. The evidence of archaeology has helped to show the shared origin and history of us all.

There are houses all over the world. Some houses are large. Some are small. Some
are made of wood. Some are made of rock. Some are made of mud. Some are made of
cloth. In cold places, some houses are made of ice frozen water! People usually
build their houses with something that is easy to find. For example, there are many
trees in a forest. So people who live there might build a house made of logs.
BG.
Some houses have one room. Some houses have many rooms. There is usually a
bedroom for sleeping. There is often a kitchen for cooking. There is usually a
bathroom. There is often a living room for sitting and talking. Some houses have
basements. The basement is under the main part of the house. Some houses have
attics. The attic is above the main part of the house. Most houses have a door so
people can enter and exit the house. Most houses have windows so the people can
look outside. Windows also let air into the house from outdoors.
BH.
Some houses are fancy. They are painted bright colors, and are very decorative.
Some houses not fancy they are plain and simple. Houses look very different in
different parts of the world. But, people who live in a house probably all agree that
there is no place like home!
