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 classmates. Like all their other friends, they enjoy going fishing or swimming at
weekends. 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 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.

On each trip, Nick travels with a team of people. They bring the cameras and other filming
equipment needed to make the programme. Nick doesn’t take a lot of things for himself, just a few shirts
and trousers, but he always makes sure he has some books in his suitcase.
Nick’s wife, Helen, doesn’t mind him traveling for his work. She has a lot of friends and keeps busy.
When he gets back, she likes to listen to all his travel stories. But sometimes there are problems. When he was

Bollywood
‘Bollywood’, which is the name of the film industry in Mumbai, India, mak es 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. 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. 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
passed me in the street and asked, "Are you Michelle Golden?
‘No,' I answered. "You asked me that when we met in a shop several thousand miles away, near New
York.”

Jann Mardenborough
Jann Mardenborough has loves cars since he was given a toy one as a baby. He loved them so much
that when he was eight his father took him to a place where children race small cars called karts. Staff at the
kart centre told Jann he drove so well, he might one day become a racing driver. Unfortunately, the kart centre

As he couldn’t race karts any more, Jann decided to try computer racing games. After lots of
practice, he became very good. However, he never told his parents what he was doing. Then, one day,
when he was 18, he told them that he was one of the top ten winners of a computer racing competition.

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!

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 sneed
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!’

PART 3: Read the article about a film called Dinosaur Island and then answer the questions.
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!

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, 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.
