Yesterday at school we read about the kind of people we admire – people who are famous or who
0 make history and what sort of person you need to be to become one. It was interesting – a lot
of my classmates thought that to be a leader, for example, it was important not to have any 1
of any kind, and to stay 2 in difficult or dangerous situations. But not everyone we admire
is a famous person. I decided to 3 a suggestion for my classmates to think about: that
showing 4 to other people is really important, too. And people who are 5 even
when they have sad things going on in their lives are amazing. And my classmates all agreed with me!

FAMOUS PEOPLE
From sport and music to technology and film, there are
many great stars out there. In this article, we’re looking
at some of those greats.

a Shakira was born in 1977 in Colombia,
South America. She started singing at a very
early age and soon became well-known as a
singer, songwriter and model. She sells
millions of albums worldwide and her song for
the 2010
football World Cup, This Time for Africa, became
the best-selling World Cup song of all time.
b Michael Phelps was born in 1985 in the
United States of America. Before he stopped
swimming in competitions, he won 22 Olympic
medals
for swimming, more than any other swimmer.
People called him ‘Flying Fish’. After the Beijing
Olympics in 2008, he started his foundation to
promote swimming and healthier lifestyles.
c How many people have a Twitter account?
In 2013 there were over 200 million users,
but how many of them know who created this
amazing phenomenon that people use to put
their opinions on the Internet? Jack Dorsey
was one of the people that started it in 2006
while he was a student at New York University.
d Daniel Radcliffe is an English actor. He was
born in 1989. When he was only 11 years old,
he got the main part in the first of the Harry
Potter films and he played Harry Potter for
ten years until the last film in 2011. In 2007 he
started to act in the theatre, both in the UK and
in the United States.
e Do you write documents on your computer?
Chances are that if you do, you use a
Microsoft product – made by a company
started by
Bill Gates and his partner Paul Allen. Gates
is now one of the world’s richest people, and
also supports charities and science through the
foundation he started in 2000.
f JK Rowling also writes under the name of
Robert Galbraith. She’s the creator of the
Harry Potter series of books about a boy
wizard. They have sold over 400 million copies

to Rowling on a train!
