Peter needs a new computer because the one he has got is very old. The C D player doesn’t work so
he can’t listen to CDs. It hasn’t got a DVD player but he isn’t unhappy because he doesn’t like watching
films on the computer. He has a lot of problems with his old computer when he tries to use the internet
because it is too slow. The internet is important for him because he uses it to get information for his

school projects. He also uses his computer a lot to chat with his friends, but he never uses it to play game
He doesn’t need to carry his computer when he travels so he doesn’t want a laptop. He thinks it’s a good

The Sphinx existed in Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek mythology. In Greek mythology the Sphinx had
a lion’s body, legs and claws, a snake’s tail, eagle’s wings and a woman’s head. The story says that she sat
at the door of the ancient city of Thebes to guard it. To go into the city people had to answer the Sphinx’s
question. If they got it right, they could go into the city. If they got it wrong, she ate them. The Ancient
Greek writer, Sophocles, wrote the question in his work. It was ‘Which creature goes on four feet in the
morning, two feet in the afternoon and three feet in the evening?’ Do you know the answer?
