Tomaz, you’re at the theatre for a long time every day. What do you do during the breaks?I play chess and cards with the other actors. Chess is my favourite game. And I do my homework.

Are your parents actors too?No, they aren’t. My mum’s a teacher and my dad works in an office.

Do they come to the theatre every night to see you?No, they don’t. A driver from the theatre takes me home, because I get home very late. That’s why I’m always tired on school days.

I haven’t got time to watch TV or play football with my friends. But I love the theatre. When I’m an adult, I want to be a famous actor.

It’s one o’clock on a Saturday afternoon. Fifteen-year-old Tomaz is in the Apollo Theatre in Leeds.

Tomaz is a young actor in a play. The play is about a Polish boy’s life in England.

‘His life is the same as mine. I’m Polish, but I live in England now,’ says Tomaz.

Tomaz has got his own dressing room in the theatre, with a mirror, a sofa and a desk. There are sandwiches, and in his fridge there is some orange juice. During the week the shows are in the evening but today the play starts at two o’clock.

Hi. I’m Sam and I’m from Manchester. In my bedroom there’s a bed, a wardrobe, a big desk, a chair and a bookcase. There’s also a small TV and a DVD player.

On my walls there are football pictures (I’m a Manchester United fan, of course!) and there’s also a mirror. I’ve got a CD player too. I haven’t got a computer in my room, but I’ve got a PlayStation. Three walls are white, and one wall is my favourite colour – green!

I watch TV in my room. When my friends come, we watch DVDs and listen to music. I read my music magazines on my bed and do my homework at my desk.

Every summer, more than 700 people of all ages from all over the world come here to live as Tudors 5 to learn about life in England in the Tudor times. So that’s why Alice is wearing the clothes from that time in history and cooking breakfast.

My favourite place in the world is Carrick Beach. It’s in the south-west of Scotland.

To get to the beach, you drive down a narrow track from the main road. The track goes down the valley, through the woods and across a little river, and it ends at the beach. The beach is U-shaped, white and sandy. On the left, there are some interesting dark caves to explore and rocks to climb on.

I love this place because it’s quiet and beautiful. It’s never crowded – even in summer. That’s the best time to go, because the weather is usually warm and dry, and the days are long.

I love swimming there, and looking at bats in the caves. There’s a horse riding centre nearby, so I often go riding on the beach. It’s a great place for photography, because you can see wonderful sunsets here too.

Reading P 1 Do the food facts quiz (1–4). True or False? Write T or F. Then read the

answers below and check with yours.

1 FALSEMany vegetarian diets are healthy, but vegetarians who eat only chips and cheese sandwiches are not getting enough nutrition!

Meat and fish give us protein, vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc. When you give up meat, you have to find these nutrients elsewhere. So vegetarians need to make sure they eat foods that contain them.

2 TRUEMilk, cheese and yogurt are healthy foods. They contain protein, vitamins and calcium, which is good for bones and teeth. Diets without enough dairy products do not give you as much calcium as your body needs. But dairy food contains a lot of fat, so be careful not to eat too much of it. Or you could choose reduced-fat versions instead.

4 FALSESome people go without meals to lose weight. But they often end up feeling hungry and weak, and then eat even more at the next meal. It’s much better to eat three small meals a day and a few healthy snacks (some fruit, a low-fat yogurt or some cereal) in between, than to miss out on meals.

3 FALSEAlthough vitamin tablets may provide all the vitamins you need each day, there are lots of other important nutrients they don’t provide. They are not a substitute for a proper meal.

1 FALSE

How much do you know about diet and health? Read these food facts. 1 Vegetarian diets are always healthy. 2 Too many dairy products make you fat.3 Take a vitamin tablet every day – then you can eat what you like.4 You can lose weight by eating just one or two meals a day.

2 For questions 1–4 choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.

3 Vitamin tablets

A contain all the nutrients you need.

B can replace all meals.

C are the best way to lose weight and be

healthy.

D don’t contain everything you need.

4 People who want to lose weight

A always feel hungry and weak.

B should go without meals.

C should still eat three meals a day.

D should only eat fruit and cereal.

1 A diet which consists mainly of chips and

cheese sandwiches can be dangerous because

A these foods don’t contain any nutrients.

B these foods don’t contain enough nutrients.

C all diets should contain meat or fish.

D these foods contain too much zinc and not

enough iron.

2 People who eat dairy food

A don’t get enough calcium.

B don’t need vitamin tablets.

C could damage their teeth.

D should limit the amount they consume.

Edmund Hillary was born on the 20th of July, 1919, in New

Zealand, where he started climbing as a child.

In 1953 he joined a British expedition team in the Himalayan

Mountains and, on May 29th, 1953, he became the first

person to climb Mount Everest, together with his Nepalese

climbing partner, Tenzing Norgay. In the same year, he

married Louise Rose, who he had three children with.

Eight years later, Hillary returned to Nepal, where he helped

local people to build their first school.

In 1975 a tragedy happened. Hillary’s wife and one of his

daughters died in a plane crash. Many years later, in 1989,

he married an old friend, June. They visited Nepal every

year. He died on January 11th, 2008, when he was 88.
