My great grandmother, Beatrice, was always looking for the next adventure in her life! She trained as an engineer,
which was really unusual at the time, and later as a pilot. She became one of the first female pilots to fly across the
Atlantic in the 1930s. She took a navigator with her. A journalist also wanted to join them on the flight but there was
simply no room for him in the plane. On her hundredth birthday we had a big family celebration and she showed me
some of her early photos. She told me about her famous flight and said the only thing that really worried her wasn’t the
bad weather, but the fact that they only just had enough fuel. Later in her life, she wanted to teach other pilots to fly, but
that never happened because she was always too busy! I want to be a pilot too, but flying an aeroplane now is very
different from Granny Beatrices’s experiences! You rely on computers more than people but I still think it’s a really
exciting career choice!

Jack
I only go to the cinema on someone’s birthday or on other special days because I prefer downloading
films really. It really annoys me if I’ve paid a lot for a cinema ticket and the people in front of me or behind
me talk during the film. Of course, I don’t mind if people scream or whisper at frightening parts of the film.
That’s normal. But it isn’t polite to just sit there and chat. When I do go to the cinema, I always get popcorn!
It’s so much better than a hot dog!
Oscar
I had a good time last Saturday because it was the day a friend was 15 so we went to the cinema. We
found out which films were on by checking on the internet first and also made sure we weren’t going to see
anything scary! The tickets aren’t cheap at the weekend and we ate far too much popcorn but it was a good
evening. The film was about a boy who makes everyone mad because he never stops talking! My friend
had to change places with me at the beginning though, because the person in front of him was so tall he
couldn’t see the screen properly!
Ash
My sister works at the cinema. She’s the manager so tickets are also less expensive for anyone in our
family and I can always get cheap popcorn. I enjoy horror films but I like comedies and adventure films
too, and sometimes go more than once a week. I know most people don’t like sitting right at the front but
I really like doing that and it solves a problem. I’m quite short and can’t see very easily when tall people
sit in front of me!

Read Adam’s blog about a course. Are sentences ‘Right’ (a) or ‘Wrong’ (b)? If there is
not enough information to answer ‘Right (a)’ or ‘Wrong (b)’ choose ‘Doesn’t say’ (c).

Hi!
My parents say that my brother and I text and surf too much on the internet so they sent us on a weekend course
where we had to camp in a forest without our phones or any internet connection. I thought it would be impossible not
to check my phone or a social media site every hour or so. Since going on the course, I’ve learnt I can live without my
phone for three whole days and things have really changed.
My brother and I didn’t know anyone else on the course before we went but at least we had each other and that made
it a bit easier. There were twelve other boys and they all came alone.
There were lots of different activities and we were successful at most of them. We had to build a bridge out of chairs
and newspapers, which was really hard. Doing the washing-up and the cooking was probably the least fun. I also hated
not having TV at first. But things like collecting wood to make a fire to keep us warm and the walks in the dark were
okay. I learnt I could actually do lots of things alone even if I was a bit afraid at times.
The day after we got home, Mum asked us to turn off the computers and to cut the grass and wash Dad’s car. We didn’t
mind doing that! I feel much more grown up somehow.
If a course like this interests you, go to www.turnitoff.net to find out more.

2 Before the course, Adam checked his phone more than once an hour.

Favourite possessions

Maria
When I was 12, I went to Italy to visit my grandparents. It was the first time I’d been
away on my own so everything was really exciting. They live in Venice so they took
me to Murano one day and they bought me a small glass bottle to remind me of my
trip. It doesn’t look very special as it’s very simple but I love it.

Simon
I never win any prizes for my schoolwork but there is one thing I’m good at and that’s
swimming. I practise every day before school and every weekend too. Last year I
was in the national under-16 team and we came first so my favourite possession is
the gold cup I won!

Lisa
My mother bought me a pair of red shoes a couple of years ago and I just love them.
I always wear them when I have exams and I know it sounds crazy but they bring me
good luck. My friends laugh at me but I think my shoes are special.

1. Maria travelled to Italy alone.

2. Maria’s bottle was expensive.

3. Simon is the best student in his class.

4. Simon is 15 years old.

5. Lisa does well when she wears her red shoes.

Teenagers and food around the world

Kyoko, 15, Japan


I love fast food like burgers and pizza and most of my friends are the same. When we
meet up at the weekends, we often go to the shopping mall and have a burger and
fries. My parents are more traditional though and we still like to have fish, rice and
vegetables when we’re at home.

Brad, 16, USA


I do a lot of sport so I’m always hungry. I know it’s important to eat healthily when
you’re exercising so I try to have lots of fresh stuff and pasta for energy but I like fast
food too. What teenager doesn’t?! I know a lot of people think we eat too much here
in the States but I don’t think that’s true.

Joanna, 14, England


I come from a big family and it’s a tradition in our house that we all get together for
Sunday lunch. My mum’s a brilliant cook and she usually does a roast: chicken, beef
or lamb. I’m a vegetarian though so she has to do something different for me, but I
love all the delicious roast potatoes and fresh vegetables!

106
Giulia, 16, Italy
I love cooking, especially pasta dishes. Pasta is always much better at home than in
a restaurant. And it’s so easy and quick. My favourite is spaghetti with olive oil and
lots of pepper. It sounds boring but it’s delicious.

Kai, 15, Germany


I grew up in Spain because my dad worked there for a few years and that’s where he
met my mum, so we don’t eat typical German food at home. We have more fish than
meat and more rice than potatoes.

Amanda’s travel blog

Here I am with my family on day three of our two-week stay in Bali. We’re staying in a
small hostel in Ubud, which is famous for its monkey forest. The monkeys are
everywhere and they don’t seem to be afraid of the tourists. While we were walking
through the forest yesterday, one of them tried to grab my camera but luckily it didn’t
succeed! Other tourists weren’t quite so lucky though.

Tomorrow we’re meeting up with some other backpackers and we’re climbing the
volcano that is near here. We’ve found a local guide who will take us up and although
it’s very hot in the town, he says it will be very cold at the top of the volcano. I hope
I’ll be OK as I didn’t bring any warm clothes with me.

We’re spending next week in Kuta, relaxing by the sea. The beaches here are
fantastic and lots of people come here to go surfing. I’ve never tried it before but I’ll
probably have a go if I feel brave.

This is such a beautiful island and the people are so friendly. I know I’ll be sad to
leave but I’m sure I’ll come back again one day as there are so many other places to
explore.

1. Amanda has recently arrived in Bali. _____

4. Amanda will definitely try the surfing. _____
