    Tristan da Cunha is a remote British territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between South Africa and South America, with only 265 residents. In the 1960s, the island's volcano erupted forcing residents to evacuate to England. While some residents preferred to remain in England, most eventually returned to the island. Currently, the isolated community is seeking a farmer to help increase their food production and lessen their reliance on imports.

    Tristan da Cunha

    23-01-2018 15:00

    Level 1:

    Tristan da Cunha is an island. It is between South Africa and South America. Only 265
    people live there. They are British.
    There is a volcano on the island. In the 1960s, it erupted. People had to leave.
    They went to England. Many of them liked England. But they went back to Tristan da
    Cunha.
    People at this island want to produce more food. They need help. They are looking for
    good farmers. If you are a good farmer, this can be the job for you!
    Difficult words: erupt (to explode), had to (past of “have to” = “must”), produce (to make).

    Level 2:

    Tristan da Cunha is a British territory. It is also the loneliest human colony on Earth with
    only 265 residents. The island is situated midway between South Africa and South
    America.
    In the 1960s, residents to be evacuated to England when the volcano on the island
    erupted. When the island was safe again, the people returned. However, around 3/4 of the
    people preferred England to the lonely island.
    The residents of the island are looking for a farming advisor who could help
    them increase their food production. So if you like farming and you like being alone, this
    could be the job for you!
    Difficult words: resident (a person who resides – lives somewhere), advisor (a person who
    gives advice – says what is or isn’t good to do), increase (to make more

    Level 3:

    Tristan da Cunha is a British overseas territory, and is an island in the South Atlantic
    Ocean, which is roughly hallway between Cape Town and Montevideo.
    Its 265 residents are currently seeking a farmer who could help them increase their food
    production and make them less reliant on imports, so if you happen to know something
    about tending livestock and crop rotation, the job offer could be for you. However, as
    one agriculturaladviser, who did the job a few years ago, said that the agriculture can be
    summed up to cattle and sheep on 1,500 acres of grassland, and a small area with
    potatoes.
    Tristan da Cunha hit the headlines in the early sixties when a volcano forced
    its inhabitants to evacuate, first to South Africa 1,500 miles away and then on to England.
    Upon returning, not all of them seemed happy to continue living on the most remote
    inhabited island on Earth.
    One man who shared his feelings in 1965 said that if people had voted, around three
    quarters would have stayed in England. However, the man’s cousin maintains that it is the
    dream place to live and work, as it is very pristine, there is no crime, and anyone who
    comes there for a short-term contract enjoys it so much that he or she says that he or she
    would like to come back.
    Difficult words: resident (a person who resides – lives somewhere), reliant (dependent
    on), agricultural (farming), inhabitant (a person who inhabits a place – lives
    there), maintain (to argue), pristine (clean).
