Polo is an unusual sport. It uses a ball and a mallet, which is used to hit the ball. It also
requires helmets to protect the player‘s heads, gloves for their hands and boots to guard their
legs. The players hit the ball into a goal to score. Nothing special, right? The game of polo
suddenly becomes very exciting when you discover the final piece of ―equipment‖ the players
need: a horse. That‘s right; it is played entirely on horseback. How did this unique sport that
combines the talents of humans with animals become popular?
The game of polo was developed in Persia around 2,000 years ago, but the British made
modern polo world-famous. A mere 150 years ago, the British came in contact with the sport,
in the Indian city of Silchar. There, the oldest existing polo club, the Calcutta Club, was
founded by the British in 1862. A polo club opened in England just ten years later, and
British soon began to travel and show others this great ―new‖ sport. Polo quickly grew
worldwide. Twenty years later, clubs as far away as Argentina and Australia were founded.
Today, 77 countries around the world have polo teams, including the UAE. Dubai, Abu
Dhabi and Sharjah all have their own polo teams, made up of foreign and Emirati players.
Matches are played all year round and included players at every level. So, if you enjoy
playing sports and are a good horse rider, why not consider joining the polo team?

Julius Caesar is one of the most famous tragedies in the world. William Shakespeare
wrote it around 1599. There have been 5 thousands of performances in the 400 years since.
The story is about power. It is about people who use power well and people who use it badly.
Julius Caesar was a general in the Roman army. He won a big battle and returned to Rome.
Most of the people loved him but some people envied him because he was powerful. They
decided to kill him.
Brutus was Caesar's friend. A man called Cassius asked Brutus to join the plot against
Caesar. 'It is for the good of Rome,' he said. The plotters decided not to kill Mark Antony,
another important Roman. It was a very bad decision.
The plotters decided to kill Caesar on 15th March. The night before, Caesar's wife,
Calpurnia, had a dreadful dream about her husband. In her dream, Caesar died at work in
the government building. She tried to stop him going to work. But he didn't listen to his wife,
and went. The plotters killed him. Caesar's friend hit him last of all. After Caesar‘s death,
Mark Antony spoke at Caesar's funeral. He told the crowd about Caesar's good qualities and
actions. The crowd got angry, and Cassius and Brutus had to leave the city.
A war started between the supporters of Brutus and Cassius and the supporters of Mark
Antony. At first, Brutus and Cassius won some battles. However, Mark Antony finally won
the war, and the other two men died. When Mark Antony saw the body of Brutus, he was

because they hated him. Brutus killed him for the good of Rome.'
