Part 3

Artist Peter Fuller talks about his hobby

There’s a popular idea that artists are not supposed to be into sport, but
mountain biking is a huge part of my life. It gets me out of my studio, and into
the countryside. But more importantly, racing along as fast as you can leaves
you no time to worry about anything that’s going on in your life. You’re too busy
concentrating on not crashing. The only things you pay attention to are the pain
in your legs and the rocks on the path in front of you.
I’m in my sixties now, but I started cycling when I was a kid. In the summer my
friends and I would ride our bikes into the woods and see who was brave
enough to go down steep hills, or do big jumps. The bikes we had then weren’t
built for that, and often broke, so I used to draw pictures of bikes with big thick
tyres that would be strong enough for what we were doing. They looked just like
modern mountain bikes. However, it wasn’t until many years later that someone
actually invented one. By the 1980s, they were everywhere

At that time I was into skateboarding. I did that for a decade until falling off on to
hard surfaces started to hurt too much. Mountain biking seemed a fairly safe
way to keep fit, so I took that up instead. I made a lot of friends, and got
involved in racing, which gave me a reason to train hard. I wanted to find out
just how fit and fast I could get, which turned out to be fairly quick. I even won a
couple of local races.

In the end I stopped racing, mainly because I knew what it could mean to my
career if I had a bad crash. But I still like to do a three-hour mountain bike ride
every week. And if I’m out cycling in the hills and see a rider ahead, I have to
beat them to the top. As I go past I imagine how surprised they would be if they
knew how old I am.

Part 4

A new life

I used to work as a college lecturer in the north of England, running

photography courses. It wasn’t a bad job and I really liked my students, but I
began to feel tired of doing the same thing every day. __________(16)

I’d always loved travelling, so one weekend I typed ‘international volunteering’

into an internet search engine. At the top of the results page was the
opportunity to go and stay on an island in the Indian Ocean, thousands of miles
away, and help to protect the beaches and the sea life. _____________(17)

I had some diving experience, and the more I talked about it, the more I wanted
to do it. So I contacted the organisation. One week later they offered to send me
to the island and I accepted___________ (18) After all, the volunteer job was
only for two months during the summer holidays. I thought after I’d finished, I’d
come home.

As soon as I got to the island, I was sure I’d done the right thing. My first dive
was incredible.__________(19) I felt so lucky to be able to experience that
every day.

In fact I loved it so much that I never came home! I’ve now been on the island
for ten years and I have a permanent job. I’m working as a marine educator,
teaching volunteers about the sea life and taking them snorkelling and diving.
My desk is a picnic table 10 metres from the best beach on the island. Of
course not everything about my new life is perfect._________(20)However, I
can’t imagine going back to my old life.

A-That’s why I knew it was a terrible plan.

B-I had trained in icy water in the UK so the crystal clear warm water felt
amazing.

C-They always ask lots of questions.

D-I work far harder than I used to.

E-I began joking to friends about sending in an application.

F-Afterwards, some people were surprised by my decision but I wasn’t too

worried.

G-I decided I needed a break.

H-I needed to explain that first.
