19、ave to provide meals at lunchtime. Children can choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.

20、ave to include one portion of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like bread or pasta.

24、t their computers? Obviously, if children are bent over their computers for hours, absorbed in some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong.

25、 won’t interfere with homework. If the child is not holding to this arrangement, the parent can take more drastic steps dealing with a childs use of the Internet is not much different from negotiating any other sort of bargain about behaviour.

27、here will be something else to worry about! The Old Gate In the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them. This was partly for defensive reasons but another factor was the need to keep out anyone regarded as undesirable, like people with contagious diseases. The

28、Old City of London gates were all demolished by the end of the 18th century. The last of Londons gates was removed a century ago, but by a stroke of luck, it was never destroyed. This gate is, in actual fact, not called a gate at all; its name is Temple Bar, and it marked the boundary between the

29、Old City of London and Westminster. In 1878 the Council of London took the Bar down, numbered the stones and put the gate in storage because its design was unfashionable it was expensive to maintain and it was blocking the traffic.

30、returning the gate home.

It is quite another to carry out the research work successfully. It is easy to set about it in a disorganised way and cause yourself many

34、problems which could have been avoided with a little forward planning. If your own family stories tell you that you are connected with a famous character, whether hero or criminal, do not let this idea take over your research. Just treat it as an interesting possibility. A simple system for collect

35、ing and storing your information will be adequate to start with; a more complex one may only get in your way. The most important thing, though, is to get started. Who knows what you might find? Helen and Martin With a thoughtful sigh, Helen turned away from the window and wa1ked back to her
