Where is St Kilda?
SCOTLAND
a St Kilda isn't an easy place to get to. It's in the Atlantic
Ocean about 65 km west of the Outer Hebrides islands,
which are to the north-west of Scotland. It takes 14 hours
to get there from Scotland by boat. A few people visit the
tiny islands of St Kilda every year, but not many.
b About two hundred years ago, the population of St Kilda
was about 200. They had their own way of life. They
climbed up the cliffs and caught sea birds for food. They
had meetings in the village streets and made their own
laws. They didn't have much contact with people from
other places
C But life was hard for the people of St Kilda, and many
decided to leave the islands and travel to the USA or
Australia to look for work. They wanted to earn money
and have a better life. By 1930, there were only 36
Inhabitants left. They decided that they wanted to leave
too, and on 29 August a hoat arrived and took them to
Scotland. They never returned.
d Today, there aren't any permanent inhabitants of St
Kilda on the islands. However, the islands are not empty.
Scientists live and work there, studying the sea birds and
other wildlife. There are also a few soldiers. There isn't much
entertainment, but at least there is now a sauna and a café!

Family is the most important part in everyone`s life. But sometimes it might be very hard to deal with very simple conflict. First of all, family must be close-knit and every member must always get on well with each other. It`s normal to feel frustrated, disappointed or sad. These feelings are natural, because every person in this world can have his own thoughts. It`s OK sometimes to feel being fed up with your relatives.
Children should also understand that their parents might be very tired after a hard day and they just need our help but not silly emotions. They must respect their parents whoever they are. There`re a lot of ways to live without arguments: you should be very attentive to your relatives, don`t let them be mad, sad or just feel very bad, just smile and try to look on the bright side of life, then not only your family but your friends will be attracted with your boost of energy. You should get involved in activities and talk about them – then you will have a lot of things to talk about with your friends or relatives and just make them happy and don`t think about disappointing things. It`s better to keep away from disagreement and deal with conflicts successfully. But when it comes to solve that problem (it`s very difficult and step by step process), you must just cool off, take a deep breath and relax. Take your time to overthink once again what has happened. Don`t blame and accuse because your opponent is an individual person too and has his own mind. Be flexible and open-minded, willing to apologize, forgive and move on.
