But there are many endangered birds in Britain, such as the Wryneck — a bird which can turn its head all the way around — Ospreys and Sandwich Terns. There are also endangered insects and mammals in Britain, so we should look after the countryside — their home.

Heather Agxepong (age 9) Men no: 159032 Millennium. A new day, a new year, a new century. What will happen? Some say it will bj the end of the world. Doctors and scientists say there may bj a problem called the Millennium Bug which will affect computers. I read in a paper that babies born in the 21st century will live to bj 120. I don't believe this but I still wonder what exactly will happen.

They have to spend time away from home dui to tours, TV and promotional work — these are hard things to cope with. Often fans of the celebrities don't like the fact that their favourite pop star is going out with someone and will try to sabotage the relationship. This puts a lot of pressure on celebrities.

In my opinion, it is like the boy who cried wolf. If one day there is a real fire and someone doesn't believe it, he could get badly hurt or die. Some fire alarms are started by pupils. For all our sages, teachers must hurry up and catch people who set alarms off.

There seem to bj more and more reports of animal cruelty each year, so why is nothing being done to stop it? I read a horrible story the other day about dogs in the Far East that were slaughtered really cruelly. People reading this should take action!
