  • Distance Learning Reading
    Year 6 Distance Learning Reading Reading comprehension DIFFICULTY : MEDIUM The following extracts are taken from the diary of Anne Frank between 1942 and 1944, during the time she lived in hiding in Amsterdam with her family. July 8th 1942: “At three o’clock (Hello had left but was supposed to come back later), the doorbell rang. I didn’t hear it, since I was out on the balcony, lazily reading in the sun. A little while later Margot appeared in the kitchen doorway looking very agitated. “Father has received a call-up notice from the SS,” she whispered. “Mother has gone to see Mr. van Daan” (Mr. van Daan is Father’s business partner and a good friend). I was stunned. A call-up: everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head. How could we let Father go to such a fate? “Of course he’s not going,” declared Margot as we waited for Mother in the living room. “Mother’s gone to Mr. van Daan to ask whether we can move to our hiding place tomorrow. The van Daans are going with us. There will be seven of us altogether.” Silence. We couldn’t speak. The thought of Father off visiting someone in the Jewish Hospital and completely unaware of what was happening, the long wait for Mother, the heat, the suspense – all this reduced us to silence. July 9th 1942: “Here’s a description of the building… A wooden staircase leads from the downstairs hallway to the third oor. At the top of the stairs is a landing, with doors on either side.

    Research identifies secrets of Fantasy Premier League success 4 March 2021 behaviors and resulting actions taken by the very best competitors within the game. Lead author of the study Joseph O'Brien, a Ph.D. student based at MACSI in UL, said: "FPL on the surface appears to be an extremely simple game in that one should just choose the most talented footballers for their teams and see what happens. However, in this study we analyze the results of competitors over multiple years and find that there are in fact groups of 'managers' that consistently perform extremely strongly, suggesting an element of skill." Determined to understand why this phenomenon occurs, the researchers took advantage of the publicly available data to extract information from Credit: CC0 Public Domain around 40 million webpages, describing the actions taken by the top one million ranked managers.
