1 Avatar
I don’t usually enjoy fantasy films. I don’t like The Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. But Avatar is
different. It is a fantasy film and an action film and it has got amazing special effects.
I often go to the cinema and watch films, but I hardly ever see a great film. Batman: The Dark
Knight is fantastic. In the film, the Welsh film star Christian Bale plays Batman and the Australian
star Heath Ledger plays the Joker. The Joker can’t stand Batman and wants to kill him.
3 Shrek 2
My sister loves animated films and her favourite film is Toy Story. I don’t usually like animated films
but I sometimes watch them when they are very funny. I prefer comedies. Shrek 2 is great because
it is a comedy and an animated film. There are three main characters in the Shrek films – Shrek,
Donkey and Princess Fiona. I really like Shrek but I prefer Donkey. He is my favourite character.

Francis became very popular and a lot of newspapers wrote stories about him. As a result, in
1926, a car manufacturing company gave him a car and asked him to drive it across Australia. He
completed this amazing journey in eight days and 13 hours, and the car company sold a lot of

Reading
In 1921, while he was leading an expedition up Mount Everest, the explorer Charles Howard-
Bury suddenly found some unusual footprints. At first, the explorer believed they were from an
enormous wolf, but when he asked his local Tibetan guides to look at the footprints, they had
a very different idea. ‘Metoh-k angmi!’ they shouted.
Howard-Bury didn’t know what they were saying, but later when the expedition returned to
Darjeeling in northern India, a journalist interviewed the Tibetan guides and translated their
words into the ‘abominable’ (which means ‘very horrible’) snowman. It wasn’t a very good
translation, but it didn’t matter. The legend of the ‘abominable snowman’ was born.
In the Himalayan countries of Tibet and Bhutan, people already believed in the ‘snowman’.
They called it ‘metoh-k angmi’ or the ‘yeti’ and they told stories about meeting the ‘snowman’
while they were hunting.
In the 1950s, people from the west led expeditions into the mountains to try to find an
‘abominable snowman’. They saw hundreds of strange footprints and sometimes saw an
unusual-looking creature in the distance, but they never caught one. The ‘snowman’ remains a
mystery.

In Britain, children are getting more pocket money than in the past. In fact, on average, parents
are paying them about £7 every week – that’s more than €8.
Families today are richer than in the past so parents give their children more pocket money.
However, a lot of parents don’t think it is a good idea to give children money when their children
don’t do any jobs about the house. As a result, these days, children help around the house
more than children 30 years ago.
There are a lot of ways for British school children to earn pocket money. The most popular ways
include tidying their bedrooms and doing the washing up. A smaller number of children earn
Some parents give their children pocket money for working hard at school or for being polite

that being polite and working hard are two things everybody should do should do and that

Danny Laird lives in Fort William, a small town in the Highlands of Scotland. It’s near Ben Nevis,
Scotland’s highest mountain. At the weekend, he often goes climbing with his older sister or hill
walking with his dad. He loves the mountains, and when he grows up he’s going to work as a
mountain rescue volunteer.
Working for a mountain rescue team isn’t easy. You should be physically fit and you must also do
courses in first aid and climbing techniques. Also, you should know a lot about the mountains.
Being part of a mountain rescue team is, of course, a very important job. W hen hill walkers have an
accident, the mountain rescue team is there to save them. Danny is enthusiastic about becoming
part of the team because he knows that, one day, he is going to save somebody’s life.

My first job
When I was 14, I got my first job. I started doing a newspaper round. It’s one of the most popular
first jobs for boys and girls in England and you must be at least 13 years old before you can do it.
In my job, I got up at six o’clock in the morning every Saturday and Sunday, went to the
newspaper shop, and packed a big bag with newspapers. The man in the shop always made me
a cup of tea. Then I delivered newspapers to a lot of houses. I earned £5 an hour and it took three
hours to do the newspaper round on Saturday, and four hours on Sunday because my bag was
heavier and my round was longer.
Doing a newspaper round isn’t easy. You must get up very early and you mustn’t be lazy or
unreliable. You should also be fit and strong. It’s hard but it’s also fun. I don’t do a paper round
anymore, but my younger sister Sally is going to do my old paper round in the summer. I’m
stronger than her but she’s fitter than me, so I think she’s going to be a great newspaper delivery
girl!

necessary. I hope I’ll change the world in a small way.

In 1962, an American computer engineer created ‘SpaceWar!’ His name was Steve Russell and
it took him and his team of computer programmers 200 hours to design the programm e. Steve
loved reading science-fiction books so he wanted to invent the first science fiction game. If you
play the game today, it will seem very simple and boring, but in 1962 it was an amazing
invention.
Nowadays, most young people enjoy playing computer games at home on their computers or
consoles, but in the 1970s and 1980s teenagers didn’t have computers. They went to arcades to
play the new, exciting computer games.
In the future, computer games will inevitably change. Major companies are spending a lot of
money on developing very realistic games, and some games are going to have so many levels
that you will never finish the game!

enjoys his work. Being a vet in a zoo isn’t more difficult than looking after dogs and cats but it’s
more interesting because you learn something new every day. All animals are different so when
