It features pre-match reports, post-match reports, news about sports stars, and anything else that happens in the sports world.Glasgow v Ospreys (Sun)Magners League Venue: Firhill, Glasgow Date: Sunday, 24 October Kick-off: 1610 BST Coverage: Full commentary on S4C and updates on Radio Wales and online Ospreys are set to leave out five Wales players, including Alun Wyn Jones, for the Magners League trip to Glasgow. With the match falling inside the 13-day rule for internationals, the Ospreys have had discussions with Wales coach Warren Gatland about omitting players. Also due to be left out are Jonathan Thomas, Shane Williams, Lee Byrne, and Andrew Bishop. Ryan Jones is to revert to his usual position of number eight after figuring in the second row against London Irish. Also figuring against Glasgow are expected to be Mike Phillips, James Hook and Huw Bennett who have had less rugby this season. Dan Biggar, who was forced off in the 27-16 win over London Irish with a neck injury, is back in training. Glasgow Warriors' only victory in their last six matches in all competitions was 21-13 at home to Newport Gwent Dragons in the Heineken Cup. Ospreys have won three of their last four games, but have not managed to win outside Wales since their victory in the Magners League Grand Final in May. The region have lost only one of their last six games against Scottish opponents.

HOMEWORK: Bring in an example of a sports newspaper article to show the class!Example: Letters pageNewspapers have two types of letters pages: one with reader opinions or funny experiences; and another with reader problems (called “Problem pages”). Readers write actual letters or emails to the newspaper, so they follow the letter-writing format. Most letters begin with “Dear Editor/Agony Aunt/ Person’s Name”Dear Editor, WALKING along the Largs seafront with my daughter and three grandchildren, aged nine, 14 and 19, the smell of cooking doughnuts from a nearby cafe enticed us to buy some.?We ate as we walked. I had seen the “do not feed the birds” but hadn’t thought anything of it.Then I noticed there were seagulls circling above my head. All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my fingers. I couldn’t believe it — a seagull had swooped down and taken the doughnut I was eating straight out of my hand!?AgonyIn its bid to get the doughnut it also bit my fingers — I was in agony. And at the same time another seagull was swooping on my daughter, trying to get her doughnut.?I was shaking with fright and the whole family was startled and ran into a shop doorway. We were so terrified we wouldn’t have any food in our hands outside for the rest of the day.My fingers were in pain for the remainder of the week. I dread to think what could have happened if the gull had done the same to a toddler, it could have taken their fingers off.It’s time something was done to prevent these gull attacks.?Mary Rice, MotherwellDear Dierdrie, Ever since I can remember, I have been scared of all sorts of things and I can't shake it off.I'm 15 and I know all teenagers have problems but this is eating away at me and nothing anyone says seems to make an ounce of difference.I am scared of swine flu, global warming, nuclear war and almost anything else. When a plane goes by, the noise makes me think that Yellowstone is erupting or it's the apocalypse.I have talked to my mum and she just tells me to stop worrying.My fears are enveloping me now. I know people will think that I'm just paranoid but I think I'm justified in worrying about those I love.Many young people worry about all sorts of things. Life can be scary as well as exciting at your age.With all the gloomy news around recently, it's understandable that your natural fears have been heightened.But these fears are taking over and getting help to talk it all through sympathetically could make a big difference. It could be that worrying about the world is your way of not looking at a far more personal worry closer to home.I'm emailing you my leaflet about coping with fears and phobias which explains self-help strategies.Instructions: 1. Read the letters2. Underline any words you don’t know3. Discuss the questions below.Questions:Identify what kind of letters are in the examples. Write next to them if they are: a) opinion b) funny story/experience or c) problem page letterProblem pages are usually written by “agony aunts”.

What kind of things would they write about?HOMEWORK: Bring in an example of a letters page to show the class!Example: Recipes section (spells)Most newspapers and magazines have food sections, which include recipes. Recipes follow the same pattern: Ingredients, followed by Instructions or Method. They often conclude with serving suggestions.

Soak in a bowl of water to remove any sand or dirt.Place the onion, chopped leek and garlic into a pan with the olive oil, sweat until tender and add the rice, toast the rice in the oil but don’t colour it.Add the white wine, if using, and boil until most of the wine is gone. Add three-quarters of the hot stock and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes keeping all the rice under the stock. Add more stock if it’s looking dry.Cut the haddock into chunks and add to the risotto.Fold the haddock through very gently (use a spatula) and bring back to a simmer.Taste a grain of rice, it should be slightly al dente. The risotto should be fairly wet. If it’s not, add a little more stock. Add the cheese, butter and herbs and serve immediately.PANCAKESIngredients100g self-raising flour2 eggs, separated150ml milk25g butterPinch of salt and sugar1 tbs oil300g berries to serve (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc. whichever are in season)2 tbs maple or golden syrup or honey4 tbs crème fraiche or Greek yogurtMint to garnish (optional)?MethodHull the berries and wash.Sieve the flour into a bowl and add the milk slowly to achieve a smooth paste.Add the egg yolks and salt and sugar.Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks and fold into the mixture.Drop a tablespoon of the mixture into a hot frying pan with oil and repeat until all the pancakes mix is used.

What kind of dishes do they describe (breakfast, savoury, dessert, main course etc...?)Circle the following sections in the recipes: ingredients; method; serving suggestion.Think about the spells you saw in Harry Potter. Spells use the same format as recipes. They have ingredients, instructions and serving suggestions (e.g. must be taken in a full moon, or applied to the skin, or swallowed in one gulp etc...). Think about ideas for spells: their purpose (e.g. to make people invisible? to make people tiny? to make someone change form?), ingredients, instructions, and serving suggestions. HOMEWORK: Bring in an example of recipes to show the class!Example: Fashion sectionNewspapers, and especially magazines, follow the latest fashion trends. They tell readers what they should be wearing, where to buy them, how much they cost. They also talk about things like colour, textiles, tailoring and so on. Very often, fashion pages are mostly just images or photographs with very little written text. It is the pictures that do the talking!FASHION STATEMENTSGuardian.co.uk, 21st October 2010BANG ON TRENDBlack and wonderful: From left, River Island, Lily Allen for Argos and Rapanui Pandas*FS doesn't know if you've noticed, but times are a bit grim. Yes, we're on the ball with things like that. Anyway, now, FS feels, is not the time for luxe shearling or overpriced trousers. No, now is the time for the cheering effect of panda therapy. Marc Jacobs-obsessed fashionistas (ones who don't work in the public sector, we're guessing) will probably already have put their names on the waiting list for the panda dress seen on the Louis Vuitton catwalk during Paris fashion week. The rest of us must simply acknowledge that the black-and-white creature has new fashion kudos. Plus, if you don't smile when you see a baby panda there is something wrong with you.

The bigger the advert in the newspaper, the more the advertiser pays.Adverts usually have bold text with clever or funny slogans. They also feature striking images that people will remember. By law, adverts also have to provide detailed information on the possible risks or disadvantages for their products or services. We call this the "small print" - because it is something that advertisers don't want to shout about!Instructions:Look at the adverts.Underline any words you don't know.Discuss the questions below.Questions:Which of the adverts do you think is most effective and why?Can you explain why this phrase is funny: "Need to iron out a few creases?"Which advert (TV, newspaper, billboards, or internet) do you really like or really hate at the moment?Think about the world of Harry Potter. What kind of products and services might be advertised in the magical world? What kind of images and slogans would be used to catch readers' eyes?HOMEWORK: Bring in an example of a newspaper advert to show the class!Example: Product reportNewspapers and magazine review new products for their readers. They talk about technical features, style, performance, price, reliability and so on. A good example of this is car reviews. These kind of reports include at least one good photograph of the product being described. They may also include short tables or summaries of technical information. VW JETTA: COMING OF AGE FOR VW'S BABY SALOONThe all-new Jetta boasts masses of extra space in the backSaturday July 31,2010, Daily ExpressBy?Nat BarnesWHAT a difference a door makes. You don’t need a size nine hat to know that British drivers like their hatchbacks.Their extra flexibility and practicality over an equivalent saloon makes them usually the obvious choice in a market, especially for anyone spending their own money as opposed to their company’s.With that in mind then, you have to feel sorry for the Volkswagen Jetta. Now in its 31st year and 9.6 million sales down the road, on paper the baby German saloon could be deemed to be a success, the only problem is that in reality it sits in the shadow of its sister hatchback, the Golf – one of the most popular cars across Europe.What’s ironic though is that, despite having switched its name over the years from Jetta to Vento, then Bora and back to Jetta again, those shadows have sometimes hidden what is actually quite a competent?car. The go-faster Vento VR6 was always generally regarded as a better handling car than the equivalent Golf and with its unique styling, the Bora proved surprisingly popular. Ok, so whatever its guise or name, in the UK the Jetta’s saloon layout is never going to be any serious sales challenge to the Golf, but it can still punch above its weight.Volkswagen will certainly be hoping that that’s the case for this sixth generation Jetta that goes on sale here in spring next year. This time however, those hopes might be well-founded. For starters, the new Jetta gets an all-new look that sets it apart from the Golf, thanks to every external panel being new. A sharp, mean-looking front end together with a two-bar grille separating the headlights, gives it a purposeful look that’s been arguably lacking in its predecessors.?VW?says that it feels the Jetta has grown up and actually it might be right. There’s definitely a touch of class here right down to the miniature Audi A8-looking rear end.A touch of class and also plenty of space in fact. This latest Jetta is some 90mm (3.5ins) longer than before, the majority of which has gone towards extending the rear legroom (more of which later). Furthermore, is the prospect of what the Jetta will, and could, spell for the future. Volkswagen has already confirmed that a petrol-electric version of the Jetta will go on sale by 2012 and there’s also the mouth-watering possibility of a two-door coupe version at some point as well. If it looks anything like the concept unveiled by VW at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year, the face of which effectively spawned this car, we can’t wait.Inizio moduloFine moduloThe fact that there’s also the potential for this Jetta to produce an elegant two-door coupe, only makes it even more desirable. Make no mistake, the time has finally come for Volkswagen’s baby saloon to step out of the shadows, the new Jetta deserves every bit of limelight it can get.Logbook lowdownModel: Volkswagen JettaOn sale: Spring 2011Est. price range: ?17,000-?21,000Engine range: Petrol – 1.2 turbo, 1.4 turbo, 1.4 turbo 160bhp; Turbo-diesel – 1.6, 2.0-litrePower: 0 to 60mph in 9.5 seconds, 130mph top speed (2.0TD)Average fuel economy: 67.3mpg (1.6TD)CO2 emissions range: 109-138g/kmInsurance group range: tbaRivals: Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, VW GolfRATING: 4/5Instructions: Look at the example product report.Underline any words you don’t knowDiscuss the questions below.Questions:1.
