A great idea!
Frazer and Peter are two 14-year-old boys who grew up in the same small Canadian town. They
have always been friends and(16) classmates. (17)Like all their other friends, they enjoy going fishing or
swimming at weekends.(18) But for the last few months, they’ve spent every weekend in Peter’s room
working on his laptop. This isn’t because they have a lot of homework. They have made a new
computer word game.
The idea for the game came from Frazer’s little brother, Kevin, who had problems with his
reading. Kevin learns words more easily by seeing pictures and hearing information than he does by
reading. His brother wanted to help. Frazer and Peter worked together for over 200 hours(20) to make a
computer game and now it’s ready to use. It’s a speaking and picture game. For example, if you look at
the word ‘hat’, there’s a drawing of a hat next to it and you can hear Peter saying “Hat! Hat!”at the same
time.
The two boys have won a lot of prizes for their computer game and it will soon be on sale around
the world. Many schools are interested in buying it.

Bollywood
‘Bollywood’, which is the name of the film industry in Mumbai, India, makes almost 1,000 films
a year. Since making its first film in 1913, Bollywood has made over 29,000 films. This is a much higher
number than the USA and means it is the biggest film industry in the world. Most Indians like watching
films better than any other free-time activity and ten million of them go to the cinema every day.
Bollywood films tell romantic love stories, and singing and dancing are an important part of every film.
Indian films are also outside India. Last year, Bollywood made over $500 million by selling its films to
other countries.
Indian actors make more films each year than American actors in Hollywood, but they are not
paid as much. This is why most Bollywood films only cost about $2 million to make. A Hollywood film
is never made for under $5 million.
Most Bollywood actors are young. They work hard but only for a few years. Amitabh Bachchan,
who some people say is India’s greatest actor, is different. He has been the star of more than 140 films
during an acting career of almost 40 years.

We meet twice
My name is Anna King and I was born in a small town called Madison in Wyoming in the centre of the
USA. When I was twenty, I moved to the east coast, to a town just south of New York, to start a job in a
department store.(16) One day, a young man with short brown hair who was shopping in the store
looked at me and asked, "Are you Michelle Golden?"
"No, I said. "But do you mean Michelle Golden from Madison?' He did. told him that I was at school
with Michelle(19). She wasn't much older than me and people often said that we looked just like each
other. Then the young man told me that Michelle was in the same history class at university as he was.
Six months later, I got a better job with another department store and moved to the west coast to work
at their San Francisco store. One day on my way home from work, a young man with short brown hair

Something strange falls from the sky
Mikayla Shears was riding her horse across the field at the farm where she and her parents live in
Australia last November, when she saw something very strange on the ground. ‘At first I was afraid to
touch it!’ she said. ‘I thought something may jump out of it!’ It was a 22 kilo ball made of lots of
different metal parts.
Mikayla called her dad and he came in a truck and drove it back to the farmhouse. People don’t
drive hundreds of miles across the desert area to leave a metal ball in the middle of a field. ‘It dropped
from above!’ he said. ‘I was sure of that!’
Mikayla’s father emailed a photo of the ball to the Planet Museum. He was told that the ball was
possibly part of a rocket. Two days earlier a rocket was used to fly an American satellite into space to
study the sun. Most of it fell into the sea after the satellite was safely in space, but maybe this part didn’t.
‘I know a lot about cows and sheep.’ Mikayla said, ‘but I don’t know anything about rockets. I
want to find out more about them now. Perhaps I’ll be an astronaut one day!’

PART 3: Read the article about a boy who because a businessman at 14 and then answer the questions.
Robbie’s first business!
Robbie enjoyed art most at school. He liked maths and music too, but because it was hard for
Robbie to spell words correctly or to understand texts, he didn’t enjoy being at school. In English, he had
lots of problems. So when Robbie was 12, his parents decided he should leave school and be taught
differently at home. There, he learnt about business and working on computers, and spent more time
happily studying art, exercising and practicing on his violin.
Robbies’ grandmother started teaching home to cook too, which like his mother and aunt, he
really enjoyed doing. One day, she told him her secret way of making jam. Robbie made too much for the
family to eat so he took it to other people in his street. He made more and more jam. It started so good
that his parents’ friends started buying it from him. Robbie added all his costs together then decided on a
price. Then he made a business plan on the computer with help from his dad. His jam is now sold at a
weekly market. It tastes wonderful and it’s healthy because Robbie uses grape juice instead of sugar to
make it.
‘I’m still only 14, but I’m already a businessman!’ Robbie laughs. Last week, I earned £93
because 87 different customers bought 52 kilos of my jam, and a supermarket wants to sells it too. My
career is in jam-making, I think!

Tom Barry – international skateboarder!
Tom Barry is 17, and started skateboarding when he was nine. He grew up in New York where he
practiced hard and won his first competition when he was 14. He was lucky. A writer from SKATE IT!
Magazine watched him that day, then wrote an article about him. ‘They even made a video of me!’ Tom
said, ‘I left school last year and now the magazine is paying me to practice and to skateboard in
international competitions. But I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this because it’s so much fun!’
Tom has just returned from Japan. Skateboarding is the third most popular sport for boys aged 12-
16 in the USA, but in Japan it is less well-known.
‘I took my skateboard out onto the city street and the traffic stopped as people watched me!’ Tom
said. ‘A problem for skateboarders in Japan is that there aren’t many places where people can practice
outside. Skate parks are usually inside big buildings in large cities, so street skating is difficult there. But
things are changing. I love the trip and hope to go back to Japan to skate there again very soon.

My trip to Canada by Tessa Watts (14)
I had a great time on y adventure trip Canada. I went with two teachers and all my classmates. I
missed my family at first but by the end of the holiday, I didn’t want to go home.
On my favorite day, we went on a really long walk in the mountains. We had to carry all our
things in bags on our backs which was hard work but we never got bored because we all chatted the
whole time. We had a rock climbing lesson just before our picnic lunch and later that afternoon, we
arrived at a lake where we camped for the night. Three of the others tried to fished, without success! I
helped build the fire instead. The teachers and two of the older students made supper, then we sat in our
blankets around the fire and sang songs and made wishes in the dark.
We decided not to sleep inside the tents, but outdoors because we wanted to look at the stars.
Some of the boys made ‘bear’ noises trying to make us afraid, but we were still laughing at midnight

Ashley Trent

Ashley Trent, one of our most popular young actor, is now filming College Rap. He began
having acting lessons six years ago and was in his first play at ten years old.
At fourteen, he immediately became well known, not for acting in the theater, but on TV. ‘That
was fun!’ he says. ‘I was in a fast-food advert with a cartoon clown, but filming College Rap is much
harder work. I have to play baseball and sing in the film, which is fine, but I need to have dancing lessons
too. When we finish filming each day, I don’t go out with friends. I usually sit in the bath for an hour
because my legs and arms hurt! But I’m enjoying myself because the three adult actors who are the
teachers in College Rap are really good. They’ve filmed all over the world. They’ve taught me to
remember my lines more quickly too. I needed half a day to learn five pages before, but now I only need
a quarter of an hour.’
Being well known is great but Ashley isn’t interested in buying lots of expensive things or
going out. ‘But I’m asked to do really interesting work now and that’s wonderful,’ he says. ‘I don’t get
excited when I watch myself in films. I know I’m getting better, but I still need to improve!’

Film review: Dinosaur Island
George
I went with my younger brother to see this film. I had a great time, but he didn’t. He had to close his eyes
in some parts because the dinosaurs looked so real and he didn’t laugh once. I thought the story was
really exciting and the clothes were amazing. I’d like to buy the DVD and watch it at home too. The
beginning and the ending were excellent.
Cathy
I saw the advertisement for the film on TV ad it looked great but it wasn’t as good as I hoped. I loved the
beginning but the second half was boring, I think. I wouldn’t go and see it again. I like films about
teenagers and their lives much more. I think those are funnier. I’ve bought a brilliant book about film-
making. I’d love to be a famous actress one day and wear lots of wonderful clothes.
Andrew
I didn’t want this film to end because I liked it so much! I read this story before I saw the film. I usually
enjoy the books more, but this time it was the opposite! I enjoyed feeling afraid but I laughed a lot in
parts of the film too. I read all about how they made this dinosaurs on the internet after I went to see it. I
think most young people will love seeing this film!

An amazing adventure
Erden Eruc is Turkish but now lives in Seatle, USA with his wife Nancy. In July 2012, he
completed an amazing 5- year journey, becoming the first person ever to travel all the way around the
world with no help from engines or sails. All he used were his all arms and legs to cycle, row and walk
around the world.
His plan before beginning the trip was to climb the highest mountain on each of the six continents
that he went through. Unfortunately, he was able to climb three of them because of bad weather and
money problems.
Erden spends a lot of his time on the trip rowing his boat. His journey across the Pacific Ocean
took 312 days. Being alone for that much time was not at all easy, but he kept busy by listening to music
and studying Spanish. He took dried food with him and had a water machine to make water out of sea
water. However, it only worked on sunny days.
Erden is sure he will have more adventures one day. But at the moment all he wants to do is rest,
think about his trip and spend time with Nancy.

David Rawson
David Rawson, 15, is one of the best rowers of his age in the USA. He comes from Connecticut,
and spends most of his free time practicing on many rivers near his home.
 David’s dad, Martin, also enjoys rowing. “David’s much better than me, but I go with him when I
can”, he says. David’s mother, Wendy, doesn’t go rowing herself but she is happy to take them to and
from the rivers in her car.
It’s an expensive sport. The Rawson has seven boats, costing between $ 1500 and $4000 each. But
you can see how important rowing is to the family when you go to their home. There are many photos of
David rowing boats in the garage.
About 18 months ago, David started rowing on the sea. This sport is similar to surfing except that
you sit in a special boat instead of standing on a board. David loves it, and it means he can continue with
his sport in the summer when his favourite rivers don’t have enough water in them.
Next year David is hoping to go to the Premier Rowing Academy where he’ll study rowing as
well as all the usual subjects.

Round the world in 80 days
Mike Moyle is certainly not your average 15 years old secondary-school student. That is, unless most 15
years old spend their time travelling around the world these days. Mike, you see, has been to more countries in the
last two years than most people get to see in a lifetime. Why? Well, it’s something to do with Mike’s very unique
talent – he’s a brilliant tennis player.
Sure, there are a lot of good young tennis players around, but Mike’s a little different; after all, it’s not
often a kid Mike’s age turn professional and starts competing on the main men’s tour before he’s even been able to
grow a beard. In fact, I can’t remember the last time that happened.
When I met Mike, I hoped to ask him what life is like what life is like for a 15 years old superstar of the sport
world, but Mike didn’t want to talk tennis with me; all he wanted to talk about was his travels; ‘I can’t believe how
much I’ve been this year to see all those amazing places I’ve been to’, he began
‘At the start of the year when no one had heard of me and I had no sponsors, I used to travel whatever
way I could to get from one event to the next. To get to Northern Russia for a challenger event, I took the Trans-
Siberian Railway – it was unreal; a beautiful, white, snow carpet covering the landscape’
‘This one time, after Lolla Cars had started to sponsor me, we did a promotional event where they took
me in one of their sports models on a six day tour of the American coast. There also was the time when I was late
for a tournament in Ireland. I was meant to catch a ferry from Wales, but there was a fishermen’s strike and they’d

Unusual Talent
Stevie Starr is a performer who first became famous when he appeared on the television talent show
Britain’s Got Talent. Stevie’s unusual talent quickly made him a big hit. In less than a week, a video of him
performing on BGT, as the show is known, was watched more than a million times.
So what does Stevie do? He swallows things and then brings them back up again. By things I don’t mean
food though; Stevie’s eating habits are a little stranger than most. He has been known to swallow golf balls,
snooker balls, keys, rings – you name it, Stevie has probably swallowed it! And the amazing thing is, everything he
swallows comes back up good as new.
Stevie says he learned his unique talent as a young boy in children’s home. The bigger boys would bully him
and steal his pocket money, so Stevie started to swallow the coins to keep them safe. Then, when he needed one, he
learned to bring it back up into his mouth again.
Ever since his appearance on BGT Stevie has been very busy performing his act to audiences around the
world. In fact, these days his tour schedule is totally full and it’s all thanks to his performance on live TV – even
though he never even made it to the final of the talent show, which just goes to that you don’t always have to win
to become a success.
Stevie says he is the only one that does this, swallowing things, as his job. One thing it for sure, his act
certainly is very unique – and very dangerous. Most people would give themselves a serious injury if they tried to
swallow the things Stevie does. They might even cause themselves to choke. So just remember; Stevie is a
professional; enjoy his act, but never – ever- try this at home!
