An Unusual Hobby

Claire Williams is 15. She’s from Wales. Her friends play volleyball and go to the cinema. They like

swimming and dancing. But Claire doesn’t. She has an unusual hobby: beekeeping. She’s got four

beehives. She isn’t sure, but she thinks she’s got about 40,000 bees.

In the spring, this is a typical Sunday for Claire:

7.30 Claire gets up. She has breakfast with her parents.

8.30 Claire puts on her special clothes and goes out into the garden. She feeds the bees with sugar and

water. She sometimes takes photos of the bees, too.

11.00 Claire’s friends Hannah and Kate come round. They don’t go near the hives. ‘We enjoy watching

Claire with the bees,’ they say. ‘But we’re a bit scared of them!’ Claire talks to her friends for a while. Then

Hannah and Kate say goodbye, and Claire goes back to the bees.

1.15 It’s lunchtime. Claire likes telling her family about bees. ‘They fly80,000kilometres to make one kilo of

honey!’ she says. ‘And they visit about three million flowers!’

3.00 In the afternoon, Claire stays in her room. She loves reading about bees on the

internet or in books.

In the summer, Claire’s bees produce about 40 kilos of honey. Claire takes the honey to a little shop and

sells it. She doesn’t spend the money, because she wants to buy more beehives!

Read the text and answer the questions:

1. Where is Claire from?

2. How is Claire different from her friends?

3. Why don’t Hannah and Kate go near the hives?

SCHOOL CLUBS

Caroline, Sarah and Nadia are all students at Park School, in the north-west of England. It’s an all-girls

school – the Park School for boys is not far away in the same town.

The three girls are all 14 and they’re in year 9. During the school day, they study subjects on the National

Curriculum: subjects like English, Maths, History, Geography, PE and ICT (Information and Communication

Technology). They also study two or three languages (for example, French or Spanish) and they do Science:

Biology, Chemistry and Physics. And they each do two creative subjects: they can choose from Music,

Technology and Drama. But there’s more.

‘The school’s got lots of extra-curricular things too – especially clubs,’ says Nadia. ‘If we want to, we can do

all kinds of different activities. For example, there’s a horse-riding club and a gymnastics club. Lots of the

clubs meet at lunchtime, but some of them are after school clubs.’

Caroline says, ‘We can choose from lots of things. There’s a theatre group, and a school orchestra. I’m in

the orchestra – I play the trombone.’

‘My favourite club is the pottery club,’ says Sarah. ‘I love doing artistic things. But I’m in the sailing club,

too. The boys from the boys’ school come to this club too. We learn about sailing during the week, and

then some weekends we sail on a lake near here.’

Teachers organise some of the clubs at the school. Some clubs get help from parents of children at the

school. All of them are free.

‘I think the clubs are a really good idea,’ says Nadia. ‘We have a lot of fun and we learn different things.’

Sarah agrees. ‘We can develop our own interests and hobbies in the clubs. I hope that we can start a

photography club soon!’

COVENT GARDEN

Covent Garden is a popular place for tourists. It’s got an interesting history. It was the first public square in

London. The architect, Inigo Jones, took the idea from Italian cities, and called it the Piazza. In the 1750s a

market started there. It sold fruit and vegetables to shops all over the city. In 1830 there was one market

building, but in the next century there were more and more, because the market was big and important.

There were also theatres, pubs and restaurants in the area.

In 1973 the market moved to an area of London with good transport and car parks. Planners wanted to

build a conference centre, hotels and roads in Covent Garden, but the public wanted the beautiful square

and historic buildings to stay. A big campaign

to save them was successful.

Now the first market building is an unusual shopping centre. It’s got a lot of small shops. They sell artistic

things – it’s great for tourists! There are still theatres, including the Royal Opera House, and there’s a

Theatre Museum and a Transport Museum. In the Piazza there are street musicians and circus performers.

It’s a great place to visit when you come to London!

HELPING AT A HOSPITAL

Every year many young people in Britain finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go

to university. Some of them go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to

help people -for example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with conservation.

Mike Coleman is 19 and lives in Canterbury in England. He wants to become a teacher, but now he is living

in Namibia. He´s working in a hospital near Katima Mulilo. He says, “I´m working with the doctors and

nurses here to help sick people. I´m not a doctor but I can do a lot of things to help –for example, I help to

carry people who can´t walk. Sometimes I go to villages in the mobile hospital, too. There aren´t many

doctors here so they need help from people like me. I don´t get any money –but that´s OK, I´m not here for

the money. I´m staying here for two months and I´m living in a small house with five other volunteers. The

work is hard and the days are long but I´m enjoying my life here. I´m learning a lot about life in southern

Africa –and about myself! When I finish the two months´work, I want to travel in and around Namibia for

three weeks –for example, I want to see the animals in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.”

take a year off: spend a year travelling or working before you start university.

conservation: the protection of nature.

village: a small town, usually in the countryside.

ERIN BROCKOVICH

Erin Brockovich, an American woman, was born in Kansas. She studied at a business college for a year,

then she moved to southern California and married a restaurant manager. In 1990, when she was thirty

years old, she was in a car accident. A law company helped her after the accident, and later she started

to work for them. Her job was to organise papers. One day Erin realised that there were lots of papers

about some very sick people in a place called Hinkley. She started to look for more information about

the town.

Erin worked very hard for five years. She visited lots of sick people on Hinkley and listened to their

stories. All the people lived near a big Pacific Gas and Electric factory and she discovered that there was

a chemical called chromium in the local water. It was from the factory and Erin believed that the people

were sick because of the chromium in their drinking water. She planned to help them.

Erin and her boss started a law case against the Pacific Gas and Electric company. The company wasn´t

happy about this. They didn´t agree that the people were ill because of the water –but in 1996 the

judge ordered the Pacific Gas and Electric to pay the people in Hinkley $500,000 each (there were 600

sick people, so that was $333 million in total).

In 2000, there was a film about Erin Brockovich. Julia Roberts played Erin and the film was very

successful. Now Erin is famous –she has her own company and she gives talks all over the world.

realise: understand a situation.

factory: people make thing there.

play: be a character in a film.
