DIDACTIC UNIT 7 11
 How is this for a job? You hang around the shops, talk to teenagers and

surf the Internet. Sound interesting? Well these are some of the things

you can do as a cool hunter.

The cool hunter’s job is to discover what’s hot and what’s not. Cool

hunters often work for market research companies. These companies

sell the information to clothes and shoe manufacturers, cosmetics

companies, electronic companies and even film studios.

Kate Reynolds works for a market research company in London. When we

met her, she was standing outside a popular shop, checking out a group

of teenagers. “Those teenagers look cool”, she said. “I am going to

interview them”.

So what is she going to ask? “Well”, Kate explains, “I am going to ask the

girls about the mini-skirts they are wearing and I am going to ask the

boys about those strange gloves. Then I am going to ask what are they

going to buy today, what they are going to do at the weekend. What CD

they are going to buy next and so on”.

And then what? “After that, I am going to write a report for my

company”, she explains. “Designers and manufacturers are going to use

the information for developing new products”. Now that’s cool!

A Different Olympics

Everyone knows about the Olympic Games. But have you heard of the
Paralympics? The Paralympics are for athletes with physical problems. The
Paralympics were started by a British doctor and are held every four years, in the

DIDACTIC UNIT 7 21
 same year and at the same place as the Olympic Games. The first Paralympics
were in Rome in 1960, with only 400 athletes. Since then, the number of athletes
keeps growing and in 2004 in Athens, there were almost 4,000 athletes.
If you watch the next Paralympics, you will see amazing people. Some athletes
can’t walk, but they play an incredible game of rugby or basketball. Some athletes
can’t see, but they can ride a bicycle or swim faster than you can imagine. In fact,
many Paralympic records aren’t very different from the Olympic ones. These
athletes will show the world that they can do almost any sport and play almost any
game.
