Kevin is very quick to think negative things about people. Even when he talks about his best friend, he always tells you about his faults. And if somebody hasn’t got any faults, he invents them, so you can’t always believe what he says.
2 Olivia can’t go past a mirror without looking at herself in it. She always worries about her appearance. I was in town with her the other day and she spent the whole time looking at her own reflection in the shop windows!

Most people in the cocoa business used to laugh at the idea that farmers could have their own company. That was before the cocoa farmers' co-operative Kuapa Kokoo -literally ‘best farmer cocoa' - was established in Ghana in 1993.  It is one of the most successful members of the fair trade group, the movement that promotes ethical trading. But the situation hasn't always been like this.

New friends, new experiences and the chance to learn a new language - that's what one young Dutch student from Rotterdam was hoping to find when he set off around Europe to study. He was keen to learn as much as he could. He started at the College de Montaigu at the University of Paris before moving on to the University of Cambridge, where his work was so impressive that his professors even suggested that he should stay and teach. The Dutch student, however, was determined to continue with his journey and left for the University of Turin in Italy. Obviously, he was a student from a wealthy family, you might think. Well, no, the student in question was a poor orphan called Erasmus, travelling between the years of 1495 and 1506.

To be honest, I think you did really well. We could all see that dad was about to lose his temper completely – and Lucy was pretty angry too.

Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama, with the ability to both see and hear, like any normal child. She began to speak when she was six months old and to walk at the age of one. But six months later, she contracted a serious illness, possibly meningitis. After she had recovered, her mother noticed that Helen didn't react to sounds, or when she waved her hand in front of Helen's face. The illness had left her both deaf and blind.

The other team weren’t very good and we quickly scored three goals. But then we relaxed, I think. We thought ‘This is easy! We’re going to win. No problem at all.’ But then, in the second half, the other team scored three goals, so it was 3–3. And there were only five minutes left. But luckily we managed to score in the last minute and win the match.

Christine reacted to the spider in this way because she has a phobia - a strong fear that she can’t control. Her phobia is called arachnophobia - an extreme fear of spiders. But spiders are not the only animals that people are frightened of. Other animals can have a similar effect, including dogs, fish, birds and even frogs. There are also other types of phobia, such as environmental phobias (like fear of flying) and medical phobias (for example, when people are terrified of going to the dentist).
