Hi Rose,
How are you? We’re fine and we’re having a great holiday. We saw some
extraordinary sculptures yesterday. Some of the sculptures stand on a pin!
Can you imagine that?
Willard Wigan, the sculptor, makes very small sculptures. In the attachment,
you can see Wigan’s sculpture of Bart and Homer Simpson. It’s very, very
small, so you need to look at it through a microscope. Wigan’s sculptures are
very difficult to make because he mustn’t move his body while he is working.
He even controls the movement of his heart with meditation. He uses a
paintbrush with only one hair to paint the sculptures and he works on each
one for months. We saw miniature sculptures of the Statue of Liberty and
Elvis Presley.
In 2007, a famous tennis player bought some of Wigan’s sculptures for
£11 million. That’s a lot of money for these miniatures.
Mum is resting right now. She sends her love.
Speak to you soon.
Love,
Dad

A Handbook for Young Inventors
By Susan Casey
Have you ever seen inventors on TV or in the newspaper and thought, “That could be
me!”? Well it could – and the book Kids Inventing! shows you how to do it. Kids
Inventing! gives you simple instructions for turning your ideas into reality.
In 1900, people knew about the vacuum cleaner and the telephone. They could travel
in a train, but aeroplanes weren’t flown for another three years. It was ten years before
people heard the radio and more than 70 years before the word hi-tech was used.
Thanks to imaginative inventors, our homes are now filled with the most amazing
inventions.
Susan Casey, the writer, believes that young people are great inventors because they are
curious and they like discovering things. In her book, she gives useful advice to young
inventors. You get all the information you need to make your ideas really happen.
So, if you want to change the world around you, read Kids Inventing! Who knows –
you could even become famous!

Són verbs especials que no afegeixen -s a la 3a persona del singular i sempre van davant d’un verb en la

interrogativa.
• Should s’utilitza per donar consells o suggerir què s’hauria de fer.
You should wear your new mini skirt. (Hauries de posar-te la teva nova minifaldilla.)

•H
ave to significa “haver de” i expressa l’obligació o necessitat de fer alguna cosa perquè no hi ha altre
remei. Aquest verb sí es conjuga i, per això, hi ha qui el considera un semimodal. Fixa’t que la 3a persona
del singular és has to.
He has to finish his homework this afternoon. (Ha d’acabar els seus deures aquesta tarda.)
It’s late. They have to hurry. (És tard. Han d’afanyar-se.)
La negativa és don’t / doesn’t have to + el verb en la forma base, i significa “no haver de” o “no caldre
que”.

Per preguntar es posa do o does + el subjecte + have to + el verb en la forma base.
