These man are holding the largest ballpoint pen in the world. It measures 5.5 metres and weighs 37 kilos, and is the creation of the man in the purple shirt, Acharya Makunuri Srinviasa. Acgarya had the idea to make the pen 45 years ago, when his mother gave him a pen. He made it with brass and decorated it with scenes from Indian mythology. And it works, of course!

FORMAL EMAIL

Dear Editor, I’m writing in response to an article I came across yesterday’s edition of your newspaper. I was disappointed to read comments stating that foreign language classes should not be compulsory in secondary schools. As a student of Spanish who is about to do my school leaving exams, I would like to point out the benefits of learning a language. Firstly, there is an advantage of communicating in a one language when you are travelling. Languages can also help your career. When you are searching for a job, you are more likely to get an interview if you list another language on your application form. Next, languages learning is not only allows us to communicate, but also improves our abilities in another areas. Finally, languages are essential in promoting unterstanding between cultures. Kind regards, Berta Crous
