Bringing the countryside into the city centre
[Student architect Alan Clark talks about parks around the world]
Most people in the world live in cities. But city life isn’t always great – it’s often too hot to spend time
outside in the summer, there’s pollution from traffic and there are signs everywhere saying that people
can’t ride skateboards or bikes. However, green spaces can bring the countryside into city centres and
really make people’s lives better.
I played in my local park as a child, but I never thought about how important it was to me. Then, at
sixteen, my uncle invited me to stay with him in Valencia during the school holidays and took me to
the Jardín del Turia. This amazing park is over seven kilometres long and until 1986 it was just empty
land after the river flooded the whole city. It now has space for walking, social areas for chatting and
even a playground for kids. You don’t have to pay to use it, so everyone can enjoy it. People who live
nearby are healthier and happier and love their city park.
I started reading about other exciting green spaces and found the High Line in New York. This was an
old railway line, ten metres above the city, and is now a colourful park with flowers and wild areas,
and amazing views over the city. The city government was worried it would be expensive to build and
no one would use it. However, it was popular from day one. As well as New Yorkers, it attracts
thousands of tourists, and the money they spend in the city more than pays for it. Local people work
with city gardeners to keep it tidy.
The Underpass Park in Toronto is on land under road bridges, which was covered in rubbish before.
You don’t see it as you drive past, so it’s a special, secret place. It’s also peaceful, as you can’t hear
the traffic above. Because the road gives it a roof, people can use it in all weather and it’s lovely and
cool in the summer. It doesn’t have much natural light, but mirrors on the ‘walls’ solve this problem.
Mainly teenagers use it, and because they feel it’s theirs, they know they must keep it clean and they
mustn’t leave rubbish.

4. How does Alan feel about the Underpass Park?
A. He is disappointed that it doesn’t get much natural light.
B. He is glad that people of different ages use it.
C. He is worried that people might leave rubbish there.

How important is sleep for teens?
Sleep plays an important part in teens' overall health and well-being. During sleep, the body
undergoes essential processes, such as growth, repair, and restoration. Adequate sleep has been
linked to improved cognitive function, memory, and concentration, which are vital for academic
performance. It also boosts mood and emotional well-being, reducing the risk of mental health
issues, such as depression and anxiety.
Teens require around 8-10 hours of sleep per night, but many often fall short due to various factors
like schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and electronic devices. Lack of sleep can have negative
effects on teens, leading to decreased attention span, poor decision-making, and an increased risk of
accidents. Moreover, insufficient sleep has been associated with obesity, as it disrupts hormone
regulation and increases cravings for unhealthy foods. It can also weaken the immune system,
making teens more susceptible to illnesses.
To ensure a good night's sleep, teens should establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a sleep-
friendly environment, limit caffeine and electronic device use before bedtime, and engage in
relaxation techniques. Parents and educators play a crucial role in promoting healthy sleep habits
and raising awareness of the importance of sleep for teens' overall well-being.
