Almost all civilisationshave
their own tales of giants.Giants
arethe oldestcreaturesto liveon
the earth.They are of enormous
size and strengthcomparedto
ordinary humans. In Albanian
tales,giantsareas tall as treesand
have long black beardsthat hang
down to their knees. Some giants
are kind and gentlewhileotherscan
be very cruel. lrish giants are

pleasantcreatures,
Englishgiants
can be veryeviland Welshgiants
are clever.
In Germanicand Scandinavian
tales,giants
or trolls can be eitherfriendlyand helpfulor nasty
creatures,but they are alwaysfrightening.They can
take the form of any animalthey choose whenever
they like and people believethat they cause storms,
hurricanesand evenearthquakes.
We see them living
in castlesor underbridgeswherethey forcetravellers
to pay moneyto pass.Americanfolk tales describe
how PaulBunyan,a giantlumberjack
who makeslakes
and riverswheneverhe wishes,createsthe BlackHills
and the Grafu Canyon.He is a symbolof strengthand
energy.
Are giants simply fairy tale characters?Scientists
havefound giganticskulls and huge jaws whichthey
say belopg to giants who were on the earth half a
millionyearsago. Moreover,thereare manystoriesof
sightings of mysteriousgiantcreatures.Manypeople
believethat there is a giant human-likecreature,the

From: SarahLorigan
To: Ben Reed
Subject: Greetingsfrom Puerto Vallarta

Hi Ben,
Greetings from Puerto Vallarta, one of the friendliest and most charming beach
destinationsin the world! I'm having a wonderful time here. In fact, it's the best holiday I've
ever had.
I'm stayingin one of the most luxurious hotels on the coast and I'm spendingmost of my
time swimming and sunbathing on the beachl Puerto Vallarta has a tropical climate, with over
300 sunnydaysa year, so it is much warmer than back home. In many areasof Puerto Vallarta
you feel like you are taking a step back in time. The city has all the modern facilities a visitor
could ask for, but still keepsits unique Old Mexico charm.
The most exciting day I've had so far was when I went horse riding in the jungle. The trip
was more thrilling than I had imaginedand I endedup taking hundredsof pictures!
Well, that's all from me! Have to go now. Seeyou in a week.
Love,
Sarah
