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. And then you suddenly started telling that long story about a family reunion twenty years ago … and everybody thought, ‘what’s he talking about?’ But it worked. You managed to change the subject, and everyone had a chance to calm down … so well done!

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).

The Writing Hall was invented in 1865 by Rasmus Mailing-Hansen from Denmark. It was a machine for typing onto paper Malling-Hansen spent a long time working on the design. For example, he made sure all the keys were placed in the best positions for typing quickly. The machine even used electricity to make the movement faster. There was one problem, however: you could not see the paper as you were typing. Nevertheless, the Writing Ball was sold all over Europe and was very successful. However, each model was made by hand. Soon, other machines became more popular because they were made in factories and were cheaper. A new keyboard was developed with the keys arranged differently. This arrangement is now used on phones and computer keyboards all over the world, even though it was quicker to type using the Writing Ball. The once-popular Writing Ball was forgotten.

I found my course really difficult at first, because we start every day with three different lectures. There's just so much new information to take in all the time, and then we spend all afternoon in the laboratory doing experiments. It's all about test tubes and observing how different substances react and behave. But this is my second term, and now I'm convinced that the system really works. I’ve learnt a huge amount in a short time, so I really appreciate having the lectures each morning. I don’t have a lot of free time, but we don't have to write long essays yet -I'm in favour of concentrating on the experiments for now - just writing them up and drawing conclusions.
