GeographyThe Giant PandaThe Giant Panda lives in the ranges of the mountains mostly in Central China.Although due to farming, deforestation and other kinds of development, theGiant Panda was forced to leave the lowland areas that it used to live. Theyspend their live feeding in the bamboo forests of the Qinling Mountains. SincePandas live high in the mountains they have a thick fur covering their bodies inorder to be protected from low temperatures. In the summer, though theymight go higher to get cool and go to lower elevations again in winter. TheGiant Panda is classified as a carnivore although its diet is herbivorous. It haslived for millions of years in bamboo forests as it is the main food of its diet. Apanda can eat between 9-14 kg of bamboo shoots a day. Pandas can eat any ofthe species of bamboos and they need to have at least two species available to the area they stay. That’sbecause bamboos have synchronous flowering, death, and regeneration so pandas would not starve.Scientist are not sure about Giant Panda’s Lifespan, although they have reported zoo pandas as old as 35.90% of bamboos is water although pandas do not get enough so they drink even more. Pandas spendtheir day resting, feeding and seeking food. Unlike other bears Pandas to not hibernate.Christoforos GeorgiouWhat to do when flooding starts?Did you know that six inches of fast-flowing water can knock over an adult and two feet of water canmove a car?

MusicSonata Form— A Basic OverviewIn Sonata Form we start with Exposition (Nice music which includes twocontrasting melodies or subjects. Then we continue with theDevelopment (the composer plays the main subjects but in lots ofdifferent ways). At the end in a Sonata Form composition, we finish withthe Recapitulation (something like a repeat performance of the firstsection)Sonata Form was used excessively by composers in the Classical Period.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the greatest childstars who ever lived. He travelled all over Europe playing music when hewas only 5 and as a result learned over 24 languages.He came from Salzburg which is just on the border between Germany and Austria.Mozart composed a piano sonata before his 5 th birthday and was composing complete operas whenhe turned 12. This was done without recording equipment, computers and even pencils and rubbers!One of his most famous compositions is the Variations on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. One night amysterious stranger came to his door dressed in gray to hire Mozart to write a requiem mass (a kindof music that choirs perform at funerals). Mozart who was very afraid of ghosts and extremelysuperstitious, was terrified of the stranger who kept nagging him to finish the piece. He was alreadyill, and in his state of mind he became convinced that he was writing music for his own funeral.During his lifetime, Mozart was very well-known but spent moneyfaster than he could earn it. He was poor and in debt when he diedof kidney failure at the age of 35 and was buried in a commongrave.Another great composer of the Classical Period is Ludwig Van Beethoven(1770 – 1827).He lived his first two parts of his life during the Classical Period andthe third part of his life in the Romantic Period. He was one of theworld's greatest composers. He wrote many pieces for piano and other instruments. He startedstudying the piano and violin when he was 4 years old. His father, a singer, was his first teacher. Buthe was not a good teacher. He beat his son and locked him in a basement to make him practice.When he was 22, he moved to Vienna and studied with Joseph Haydn.Most composers at this time were hired by people to write music, and they were told what kind ofmusic to write. Beethoven, however, was treated as a friend, not an employee. He wrote the kind ofmusic he wanted to write. He liked taking long walks during the day. During these walks he plannedhis music. He would make notes in a notebook. Then in the evening after dinner, he would writemusic from about 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. Beethoven began to lose his hearing when he was in his 20's.He became very suspicious of people and hard to get along with. But he was still able to hear thesongs in his mind and write them down.In 1826 he caught a cold. It developed into pneumonia and he died. The world lost a great composer,but his music lives on today. You will enjoy listening to themes from some of his works.Year 2 A/BPASCAL Platinum 7th Edition 33
