H o w im p o rta n t a re m u s e u m s to you?
We asked three young people this question and this is w hat they told us.
Chris A lot of my friends think museums are boring but I
love them. I prefer ones where they move things round
regularly, and bring in new things to keep it interesting.
I also like to have things to listen to as well as look at.
I suppose I like museums because I’m really interested
in history and art. We study these subjects at college,
but I’ve actually found out a lot more about them from
museums than from my textbooks.
I’m lucky because I live in New York, so there are lots
o f great museums for me to visit. One thing I’ve learnt
is that you should never try to see a whole museum
the first tim e you go. Just go to one or tw o rooms, and
then return as often as you can to see the rest. For me,
it’s im portant that the people who work in the museum
are pleasant, and happy to talk to me about the things
in the exhibition. That makes a big difference.
Daniel I d on’t go to museums much, except during my
holidays in new cities. Then I make sure I spend at
least a day going to the m ost fam ous ones. If it’s a
big museum and I don’t have much time, I sometimes
walk into a room and choose just five things to look
at. I also take a tour if there is one, as I learn so much
more from listening to the person showing us round
than I do if I’m by myself.

H o w I s p en d m y fre e tim e
Jay Portman describes his unusual hobby,
running, and tells us why he enjoys i t
Hill running is the sport of running up and dov
and mountains, through open countryside. It’:
popular among my friends, but I love It. My di
me and my brothers out running when we we
and then when I was about fifteen, I joined a \
running club, called the York Merlins.
There are some excellent runners In the club. When we do our practice runs, I’m
always a long way behind them. But that doesn’t bother me. They’re all really
nice and often give me advice. What I love is being outdoors and finding all these
beautiful places I never knew were there.
We race against other clubs at the weekends. In these races, runners are told where
to finish, but not how to get there. You need a good map and compass so you don't
get lost. Everyone starts together at the beginning, but later in the race you often
find yourself running alone.
Anyone can enter these races - you just get there in the morning, pay your £5, and
run. There are no T-shirts or medals for the winners. The most you get is a piece of
cake! Often there are international hill running champions taking part, but they are
just as friendly as everyone else.
That doesn’t mean it’s an easy sport. Last weekend I did a race in heavy rain and
high winds, and I was asking myself what I was doing out there. But I got to the end,
and that was an amazing feeling.

C o m p u te r g am es
Three teenagers talk about playing com puter games.
Kamil
I spend about five hours a week playing com puter games. My parents
don’t mind because they know it’s less time than some teenagers spend
on the computer. I’ve got all kinds of games, but the ones I like most are
those where you learn things. I’ve got a brilliant game called ‘History Ship’.
It shows you what life was like on sailing ships hundreds of years ago and
it’s fun to play. There’s another interesting game I’d like to get called ‘Space
Journey’. It’s quite expensive, but I think I’ll have enough money for it soon.
Mia
Both of my brothers love being outdoors playing football, but the hobby
I enjoy most is playing computer games. My parents are OK with that
because they think you can learn a lot from playing games. The only thing
they say is that I can’t play games on the evenings I have homework. I’ve
got a variety of games, but my favourite is called ‘Forestworld’. A friend said
it was an amazing game, so I was really pleased when I got it as a present
for my birthday.
Liam
I’ve enjoyed playing computer games for as long as I can remember. I have
lots of different games, but the one I like most is called ‘Sea Adventure’. It’s
a really great game. I wasn’t very good at it at first, but I’ve improved and
can complete the different levels really quickly now. Several of my friends
like computer games too, so they come round to my house at the weekend
and we play together. It’s great fun!

Questions 1 4 - 1 8
A ro u n d -th e -w o rld trip

Alice Woods and her brother Luke w ent on a special holiday.
When I was 16, my pa decided to take me and my brother Luke out of school
for six m onths to travel around the world. They wanted us to visit lots of different
countries and have new experiences. They said we were old enough to do that kind
o f trip and believed it was better for us than spending six months in the classroom.
We both had to continue with our studies during the trip, so nearly every day we
had online classes in subjects like maths and science. Our parents also made sure
we studied the history o f the places we visited, and when we had time, we went to
museum exhibitions or read guidebooks.
We did some fantastic things on the trip, like sailing along the Mekong River in
Vietnam and visiting the Taj Mahal in India. Luke enjoyed travelling around the
Amboseli National Park in Kenya. He’s interested in wildlife and loved seeing the
elephants. I enjoyed that too, but for me the best part was visiting the Rocky
Mountains in Canada. We camped there fo r a few days and the views were amazing!
/ v
It was a great trip, but now w e’re home again, I’ m happy to be back at school and
/ /
spending tim e with my classmates. Everyone asks if I missed things while I was
away - like my favourite food or having my own room - but I tell them not really. It
was an adventure and I enjoyed everything about it.
. n jt
14 Why did Alice’s parents decide to take the family on a round-the-world trip?
A They were a little bored with life at home.
B They believed it was a good way to learn new things.
C They wanted to visit other countries while the children were still young.
15 Alice says that most days she and Luke
A visited an exhibition.
B read a guidebook.
C did lessons on the internet.
16 What is Alice doing in the third paragraph?
A explaining how to plan a trip
B describing some activities they did
C giving advice to people who enjoy travelling
17 Which place did Alice enjoy visiting the most?
A the Taj Mahal in India
B the Rocky Mountains in Canada
C the Amboseli National Park in Kenya
18 How does Alice feel now that their trip has finished?
A glad to see her friends again
B happy to eat meals cooked at home

Three teenagers talk about th e ir sport.
Becky
I’ve always loved swimming and a few years ago, I joined u
swimming club with my older brother. Our mum drives us to the
local pool every morning. It’s not far in the car, but practice starts
at Q a.m., so we have to get up early. My brother does other
sports and is fitter than me, but I’m hoping to improve and get
faster. Maybe one day, I’ll even win a competition!
Dom
My mum took me to the pool a lot when I was very young and
I’ve belonged to a swimming club since I was about seven. I now
swim for three hours every day except Monday. I need to stay
fit, so I run and go to the gym as well. I’ve always been a fast
swimmer and I’m lucky enough to have won a few competitions.
I’d like other teenagers to do more sport, so I’ve started a blog
about swimming and staying healthy.
Josie
I had to change my swimming club about a year ago because my
family moved house. I like my new club, but the coach makes us
work hard, in many ways, that’s a good thing. I’m much fitter and
my swim times have improved - for example, I can swim a length
of the pooi more quickly now. Unfortunately, our new house isn’t
IQ
close to the pool and it takes about an hour to get there. I’m
sometimes glad when it’s the weekend and I can stay at home!

M y fash io n blog
17-year-old Jay den Spahn talks about her love of fashion.
I’ve loved clothes since I was about five. Each morning, i spend time thinking about
what to wear. My mum gets angry sometimes and tells me to hurry up, but I don’t
think it’s something you can decide quickly. It’s far too important.
Last year, after reading a fashion blog by Rachel, a 19-year-old student, I decided
to start one myself. Almost immediately, I posted my first blog. I was really pleased
when friends said they loved it - they especially liked the video I made called
A world o f fashion.
I post something new each day. I keep a fashion diary, where I describe what
I’m wearing, and every week I also post a photo of myself in my favourite clothes.
Most people say they like the photos. But, for me, the best part Is getting messages
from fans.
My parents think it’s good for me to have a hobby, and I still do all my homework,
so they’re happy for me to do the blog. The only thing they tell me is to be careful
about what I read online. They tell me not to worry if people post things that I don’t
agree with.
’m not really interested in becoming a fashion model - I think I might get bored with
someone taking my photograph every day! Maybe, when I’m older, I’ll start my own
clothes company, but before that I’m going to do a fashion course at college. I'm
already trying to choose the best one!

W h a t’s your hobby?
Chloe
My love of windsurfing started when I was a child. It’s quite an expensive
hobby for most people, but I’m lucky because my unde owns a
windsurfing school I can go windsurfing for free with my cousins.
They’ve won prizes for windsurfing in different countries. I’m getting
better at windsurfing now. Next year, I’d like to buy my own board. I
need to save a lot of money first though!
! love art. My grandfather was an artist so maybe it’s in the family!
Unfortunately, I never met him, but I’ve seen his pictures. My love for
art started at college. I don’t go to college now, but I go to an art class
with my friend. I won’t win any prizes for my art - I’m not that good, but
I enjoy it. I also love art shops. I probably buy too much - I usually buy
something every week!
My hobby is music. I’m really lucky because my friend’s a drum teacher.
She’s taught me a lot. I now play the drums in a group. I only joined the
group last year, but w e’ve already played five concerts - two were at
a local college. We entered a music competition last month and won
£500! I’ve always loved music and my dream is to play in different cities 0N

Questions 14 - 18
M y Love fo r Photography
By Eliza Brinkman
How did I get interested in photography? People
usually think it’s because of my uncle, the famous
photographer Oliver Brinkman. Maybe you’ve seen
his TV show, Pictures o f the World. However, I started
taking photos on a school trip. I remember my
grandma lent me her camera.
When I was 1 6 ,1studied photography at college. I remember feeling really worried
about the course. I loved taking photos but I wasn’t sure how good I was. And
sometimes it’s difficult having a famous uncle. People think you’ll be amazing too!
My first job was at the local newspaper. My neighbour heard that the newspaper
was looking for a photographer and suggested it to me. My mum said I should try
and get the job and I got it! When I arrived for my first day, I found out that an old
school friend was also working there.
After five years at the newspaper, I moved to London and started a job at the
fashion magazine Dream. I loved this job. I worked in a great team; I’ll always
remember how kind they were to me. I went to very interesting places and worked
with some famous models.
I now have my own company, ABC Photography. I have a team of photographers
who take photos for different magazines. My newest project is a photography
course that I’ve started at my company. I really want to use my experience in the
photography business to help new photographers. It’s very exciting!

The G ree k W a ite r
Alexis is ten years old ana lives in a small village on a
beautiful Greek island. Like all children his age, Alexis
has just completed Year 4 in primary school. But Alexis
is different from other children his age. He doesn’t spend
the summer on the beach or playing video games. In the
busy summer months Alexis spends his days in his family’s restaurant. !n July and
August, the restaurant is very popular with tourists from all over the world. Because
he is the only person in his family who can speak English, it is his job to look after
the tourists when they eat at the restaurant. He explains the menu to tourists and
takes their orders.
Where did he learn his English? There is no school in Alexis’s village, and during
the school year he travels 12 kilometres every day by bus to a nearby village to go
to school. Together with his classmates, two evenings a week, he attends English
classes at a language school in the same village. There is no bus service when his
classes end, so his mother picks him up and brings him home. Alexis doesn’t mind,
he enjoys learning English. He wants to be a journalist so he knows languages will
be useful. He is very pleased that he can help his family with their business and the
tourists are very happy that they can order their meal in English. He’s also learnt a
lot about cooking and loves the food at the restaurant!

READING A N D WRITING PART 2

Chris A lot of my friends think museums are boring but I

love them. I prefer ones where they move things round

regularly, and bring in new things to keep it interesting.

I also like to have things to listen to as well as look at.

I suppose I like museums because I’m really interested

in history and art. We study these subjects at college,

museums than from my textbooks.

I’m lucky because I live in New York, so there are lots

o f great museums for me to visit. One thing I’ve learnt

is that you should never try to see a whole museum

the first tim e you go. Just go to one or tw o rooms, and

it’s im portant that the people who work in the museum

are pleasant, and happy to talk to me about the things

in the exhibition. That makes a big difference.

Daniel I d on’t go to museums much, except during my

holidays in new cities. Then I make sure I spend at

least a day going to the m ost fam ous ones. If it’s a

big museum and I don’t have much time, I sometimes

walk into a room and choose just five things to look

at. I also take a tour if there is one, as I learn so much

more from listening to the person showing us round

than I do if I’m by myself.
