Text 1: Gardens in the Sky

In big cities, there is not much space for parks and gardens.

Buildings, roads and car parks cover most of the ground. But many

cities have found a new place for plants: the roofs of buildings.

A rooftop garden can be small, with a few pots of herbs, or very

large, with trees, flowers and vegetables. Some restaurants grow their

own tomatoes and lettuce on the roof, so the food goes straight from

the garden to the kitchen.

Rooftop gardens help the city in many ways. In summer, plants keep

the roof cooler, so people inside need less air conditioning. Plants

also hold rainwater, which means that less water floods the streets

after a storm. And flowers on the roof give food to bees and birds.

However, building a rooftop garden is not simple. Wet soil is very

heavy, so the roof must be strong. Engineers must check the building

first. Gardens also need water every day, especially in a hot country

like Israel.

Text 2: Two Friends and a Microphone

Shira and Ethan are both fifteen, and they live in Modi'in. Two

years ago, they started a podcast called "Second Period." Every

Friday, they post a new episode of about twenty minutes.

In each episode, they talk about one topic that is important to

teenagers, like exams, social media, sleep or problems with parents.

Sometimes they invite a guest, for example a doctor, a basketball

coach or an older friend who is now a soldier.

They record the podcast in Ethan's bedroom. At first, they used

only a phone. Later, they saved money from babysitting and bought two

good microphones. Now Ethan edits the sound on his computer, and Shira

writes the questions for the guests.

Today, about 2,000 people listen to each episode. Many listeners

send messages with ideas for new topics. "The best part is when

someone writes, 'You helped me,'" says Shira. "That makes all the work

worth it."
