 Our Vacation
Every year we go to Florida. We like to go to the beach.My favorite beach is called Emerson
Beach. It is very long, with soft sand and palm trees. It is very beautiful. I like to make sandcastles
and watch the sailboats go by. Sometimes there are dolphins and whales in the water!Every
morning we look for shells in the sand. I found fifteen big shells last year. I put them in a special
place in my room. This year I want to learn to surf. It is hard to surf, but so much fun! My sister is
a good surfer. She says that she can teach me. I hope I can do it!

Mary is a Nurse
My cousin Mary is a nurse at St. Paul’s Hospital. She has been in training since last September.
She is a short blond girl with large grey eyes and lots of pep. Last evening when she came to our
house for dinner I had a chance to ask her some questions. Mary has always wanted to be a nurse.
When at school she dreamed of helping sick people become healthy. Now Mary finds the work
interesting but the hours are very long. Every day she is on duty in the hospital from eight to
twelve. She bathes the patients, brings them medicine, answers their rings, and tries to
be cheerful with everyone. “If you lose your temper easily, don’t be a nurse”, Mary says. She
likes people even when they are difficult to manage. In the afternoon Mary has a few hours
off. Then four days a week she attends classes given by doctors and graduate nurses. Classes
start at three. She is taking such courses as first aid, chemistry, anatomy, and pharmacology.
“I’m weak in chemistry,” says Mary. “I never could do it in high school. But I’m good at first aid
work, and I have always liked anatomy”. I am sure Mary will make a good nurse.

 Steven Spielberg
 Steven Spielberg was born on the 18th of December, 1946, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since his
childhood he has wanted to make horror films and succeeded in scaring his three sisters with
different tricks. Now Spielberg is one of the most talented and successful
filmmakers. For Spielberg, success came early. When he was only twenty, he was given a seven-
year contract with a film-studio. Since then Steven has made a number of world famous
thrillers: Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET  (the Extra-Terrestrial), Jurassic Park and others.
In later years, his films began addressing humanistic issues such as the Holocaust, the slave trade,
war, and terrorism. Spielberg won the Academy Award for Best Director for the films
Schindler’s  List and Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg’s success did not come without hard
work. When he is directing a film, he often works a hundred hours a week. When the film is
finished, he gets depressed because he misses the people he worked with — people that Spielberg
calls his “family”. As Spielberg himself says, “Making movies is really all I know how to do.”
