Questions 11 — 20

Look at the sentences below about a comedy club for young people, called Comedy Kids.
Read the text on the opposite page to decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.
If it is correct, mark A on your answer sheet.
If it is not correct, mark B on your answer sheet.

11 Comedy Kids operates a number of internationally-based clubs for young people.

12 Comedy Kids comedians have had as much experience working with children as with adults.

13 According to John Winterton, he is the first ever young people's stand-up comedian.

14 John looks like most people's idea of a typical entertainer for young people.

15 Comedy Kids will hold special parties at their clubs for young people if requested.

16 A lot of Comedy Kids comedians have the right qualities for performing at young people's
parties.

17 Guests at Comedy Kids parties are invited to perform if they wish.

18 Comedy Kids have discovered lots of good young comedians who have not been trained.

19 In a year's time there'll be more classes available for young people wanting to be comedians.

20 Comedy Kids prefer it if the young people who join them are already quite confident.

6
 Comedy Kids
Do you enjoy watching comedy? Do all your friends at school think
you tell great jokes? Then why not come and see what's happening
at Comedy Kids?

Comedy Kids own comedy clubs in several countries that are run
just for young people aged 10-15. They're real clubs with real
comedians, who are just as familiar with working in adult comedy
clubs as they are working with children. But don't take our word for
it – come and see for yourself!

The Comedy Kids company was set up by John Winterton, who says that no-one had thought of
being a stand-up comedian for young people until he came along. In fact, his act quickly became so
popular that he soon found lots of other comedians who wanted to join his company and perform for
families and young people. And if you think, as many others do, that a young people's comedian
leaps on stage in a brightly-coloured costume and big red nose – think again. John usually appears
dressed in a cool black jacket and trousers – more like a Hollywood movie star than a circus clown!

If you're having a party at home Comedy Kids can come and perform for you there at your party –
just ask! Of course, it's not the same as performing on stage, so we're always looking for comedians
in the clubs who are good at working with small numbers of young people – and we've discovered
there aren't many of them about! But the ones we have found are brilliant. Your very own
comedian will also help you to tell your guests some jokes and silly stories – and they can join in
too, if they want! It'll be fun – and very different from any party you've ever had before!

Here at Comedy Kids, it's not just about the adults telling the jokes. We also have very short 'open
spots' where young people get the chance to perform. But we've yet to find someone who can do
that without preparation, so we've set up the world's first 'Comedy Classes' to teach young people
how to tell jokes on stage. At the moment our classes are only monthly, but we're planning to start a
number of others over the coming year. So if you want to be a comedian but don't want to wait until
you grow up, this is where you can do it. And if you're creative but feel you're lacking in the
confidence to speak up, we can certainly help. We'll listen to what you want to do, and try to make
it happen.

So what are you waiting for? Come and join Comedy Kids!

Underwater researgh

Fourteen-year-old Miguel Diaz talks

Last month I got the ghange to take part in an underwater researgh projegt in an area of
the )ulf of Mexigo galled the Flower )ardens. A team of professional researghers, led by
the sgientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and various
greatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower )ardens are a long way from the
shore and we spent three days on a boat.

The team used a piege of underwater equipment galled a Remotely Operated Vehigle
(ROV) to gollegt information. The ROV gould measure water depth and temperature and it
also had a gamera that sent live film bagk to the boat. The ROV was great fun. It was
gontrolled by a gomputer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.

However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite
frightened – mainly begause I gouldn't see land in any diregtion. But as soon as I jumped
into the water, I wasn't afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the golourful fish swimming
around and I gould see all the way to the Flower )ardens, whigh are almost 30 metres
down.

I will never forget the Flower )ardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new
things about sgienge and researgh projegts. The team was very friendly and everyone was
happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has
made me think about my goals in life. The experienge will definitely help me work harder
