Modesty is very important in countries and cultures around the world. Millions of people believe that it’s not OK to bring attention to yourself with clothing that is revealing. But in some cultures, attitudes about what’s OK and what’s not OK are quite different. Some people believe in the saying, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” Others commend modesty and feel that bragging about your body is wrong.

So, how do you choose what to wear? In a country where modesty is important, most people would probably agree that you should be respectful of that belief. In a country where feelings on the subject are different from person to person, your choice of clothing is up to you. The opinions and feelings of your family and friends are likely to affect your choices as well.

Brian and Rafael do not agree on what is OK to wear in public. Find out how they feel by reading today’s English lesson about modesty. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com

Everyone always needs some time to themselves. Alone time can be a great chance to just relax and unwind without worrying about what another person needs. It’s just you!

Do you ever feel like you need a change in your life? Could it be that you want to study a different subject in school? Or do you feel like you need to move to a new place? Perhaps the change you need is within yourself.

Sometimes simple self-improvement is the key to change. Improving yourself can look like many different things. You can take a class to learn a new skill, or begin a new exercise routine to be healthier. Self-improvement is about making yourself better, and then feeling better, too.

Today’s action movies are full of scenes that feel out of this world. They might show a person floating in outer space, or a fantasyland on Earth, but they’re definitely things that don’t actually exist. Filmmakers are able to create these places using special effects that are designed on computers.

Special effects can make animals and machines talk, or help a human fly across a city. One of the best things about special effects is that they can help viewers to see and experience things that could not happen any other way.

Lily loves special effects in movies, but Jessica doesn’t see why they’re so great. Learn more in today’s English lesson about movie making. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com

Building fires is a special human skill. It is something that makes people different from other animals. In the US, many children join the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. They study nature and explore outside. They go camping with adults and learn to build fires. Scouts follow the instructions of their leaders, and they learn the perfect way to make a big, warm fire.

To build a fire, you need different sizes of wood. You begin with kindling, the smallest type of wood. On top of the kindling, you will first put small sticks and then large sticks. Finally, you put logs on the fire. Some people even use fuel to make a quick fire. But you don’t need to be a scout to build a fire. Some people just wing it.

Brian invites Romeo to go camping with him. But can either of them build a fire? Find out in today’s English lesson. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com
