Josh, 13 room. In the living room, there’s a sofa, two chairs
and a TV, and there’s a red carpet on the floor. Most
homes in Britain have got carpets. There’s a big garden at the
back of the house and a small garden at the front. It’s an old
house, but it’s really comfortable.
What is there for young people in your area?

There’s a cinema and a sports centre and there are some great
parks. There are always things to do!

Paris by jetpack!
I’m in France on a school trip. Today we’re in the French
capital, Paris. But we aren’t walking or taking a bus tour.
Instead, we’re exploring the city by jetpack!
12.15 p.m. We’re putting on our seatbelts and getting ready for our flight. ‘5-4-3-2-1 … lift off!’
12.17 p.m. This is amazing – I’m flying over Paris! Below us, people are walking in the streets
and sitting outside restaurants. There’s an old man reading a newspaper in the park.
12.20 p.m. We’re now flying over the Louvre, the world’s biggest art museum. The views are
incredible. Look, there’s the Arc de Triomphe! Some tourists are taking photos and
a girl is buying an ice cream.
12.25 p.m. We’re travelling really fast now,
and in front of us is the Eiffel
Tower. There’s a lift that goes
to the top, but a few people
are climbing the 1,665 stairs!
12.30 p.m. Our tour is over. And it’s time
to tell you the truth. We aren’t
really flying jetpacks – we’re
at Flyview®, a virtual reality
attraction in the centre of
Paris, and we’re wearing virtual
reality headsets. It’s a great
way to see the city.

Back in Time for Dinnerr is a British living history TV show.
Every week, a family experiences life in a different decade,
from the 1900s to the present day. The family members live
in a house from that time and wear typical clothes. 1They
also eat typical food. We talk to two fans of the programme.
In your opinion, what was the worst decade to live in? 2
Susie: The 1900s. Girls’ dresses were long and heavy, and the
colours were boring. The hairstyles were horrible, too.
Ted: I agree. There were shirts and ties for boys, and 2they
were really uncomfortable. Also, the food wasn’t very
exciting – there weren’t any fridges or easy meals like
pizza or pasta! Cooking was hard work.
Susie: Yes, 3it was – for the women in the house, Ted!
What was your favourite decade in the show?
3
Susie: 4It was probably the 1960s. There were shorter skirts
and more colourful dresses. The food was more
interesting, too. There was cereal for breakfast, and
there were supermarkets and Chinese restaurants.
Ted: My favourite decade was the 1970s. The clothes were
more comfortable. Jeans and T-shirts were in fashion,
and there were games consoles and cool cars!

CULT URE! I can compare transport in London with transport in my city.
MUSIC TRAVEL VIDEOS BOOKS TECHNOLOGY CONTACT
TEEN EXPLORERS HAYLEY JOSH
Our two reporters, Hayley and Josh, try some

unusual ways to explore London.
1 GHOST BUS TOUR

This is a bus tour with a difference: it’s at night, and the bus
isn’t red – it’s black! The bus drives past some of London’s
famous buildings, and actors tell you scary stories about
things that happened there many years ago! The tour is
75 minutes long and costs £15 if you’re fifteen or under.
Hayley ★★★
It was fun to go sightseeing in the dark, but the stories weren’t
very scary!
Josh ★★★★★
Our guide was called Mr Bones. His stories made us all laugh …
and scream!
2 STREET ART TOUR BY BIKE

Are you interested in street art? Then you’ll love this bike tour!
You’ll visit some of London’s amazing street art, including
paintings by the artist Banksy! The tour is two hours long
and costs £16 (including bike and helmet). Don’t forget
your camera!
Hayley ★★★★★
My favourite artist was called ROA. His huge paintings of
animals are amazing. I took some great pictures.
Josh ★★★
Most of the tour was on quiet streets, but there were some busy
roads with lots of traffic.
3 SPEEDBOAT TOUR
Would you like to be a secret agent for the day? You can
with this exciting tour! The speedboat travels along the
River Thames and under Tower Bridge at 60 kph, and plays
songs from James Bond movies! The price is £29.50 if you’re
under fifteen, and it lasts 50 minutes.
Hayley ★★★★★
It was a warm sunny day, and this tour was an amazing way to
see London!
Josh ★★★★
The tickets were expensive, but it was great fun, especially when
the boat went fast!
