Living aboard
In many of the world’s cities, on canals
and rivers or in marinas, you can find
people who have chosen to live on the
water. The Wilkinsons have lived
aboard their boat for fifteen years. Much
of that time they have spent sailing
around the world. Here’s what they have
to say of living aboard.
Mary Wilkinson
People sometimes ask me if I think it’s
fair to the children. Yes, it is. How it
could not be fair? They live in a less
polluted, safer environment. They get to
travel and become comfortable with and
able to deal with people of all ages and
from different cultures. This makes them
confident and relaxed.
Children who live aboard are often
better educated because instead of
being taught in overcrowded classrooms general. I want to go to university and I
they learn with their brothers and sisters don’t know how well I’ll do in the final
and with a parent a as teacher.
Sunny Wilkinson
People usually don’t believe we live on
a boat until I show them a photo.
It seems so different to the lifestyles
they know.
1. The text is from a / an…..
a. newspaper article
b. letter
c. school history book
d. fashion magazine
Of course living aboard has its
advantages and disadvantages. It’s
fantastic living so close to nature and
getting to know other cultures and
languages. It’s also really exciting to sail
off somewhere and know that you will
see new places and meet new people,
but sometimes I have made new friends
somewhere and then they move on or
we do. Saying goodbye to people is
always hard.
Jeffrey Wilkinson
I’ve already decided that I’m going to get
a boat when I’m older and go cruising
with my friends. I have had so many
experiences and seen so many amazing
things: dolphins, whales, fantastic
tropical fish and a lot of beautiful places
on land as well. My only worry is how I
will get on with the kids in a normal
classroom and with the school system in
exams. Mum and Dad say I’m ahead of
other kids of my age, but I’m still not so
sure.
