My Movies: EXTRA SPECIAL
This week we’re on the film set of Twilight, but we’re not
talking to Robert Pattinson, we’re interviewing schoolboy
Tom Dalton. Tom has got an amazing summer job this year!
WHAT’S YOUR SUMMER JOB, TOM?
I’m a film extra. It’s fun, but I don’t
speak. I’m in the background.
YOU’RE NOT THE STAR OF THE
FILM, THEN?
No, I’m not, but extras are important.
They help to make the film realistic.
WHAT’S THE FILM ABOUT?
It’s about vampires, but it’s not
scary. It’s romantic.
IS THAT A VAMPIRE COSTUME?
Yes, it is. We’re all wearing black
clothes and white make-up today.
AND WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE
MOMENT?
They're doing a scene in the castle
of the Volturi. The director is filming
the ending and it’s very exciting.
IS THE ENDING HAPPY OR SAD?
I can’t tell you. It’s a secret!
IS IT EXCITING WORK?
Yes, it is usually exciting, but at the
moment it’s boring because we’re
waiting for an actor. He’s not here!

ARE THERE ANY FAMOUS ACTORS
ON THE FILM SET TODAY?
Well, there’s Robert Pattinson. He’s
Edward Cullen, the main character.
But we can’t talk to him and we
can’t take pictures of him.
WHY NOT? DOES HE BITE?
No, he doesn’t but we can’t talk to
him because he’s very busy!
THANKS, TOM. GOOD LUCK!

Real World Profiles
Kishan Shrikanth’s Profile
Kishan’s film
K
ishan Shrikanth is 14 years old. He lives in India and
he’s very famous there. Why? Because he’s a film
director! His new film is in cinemas in India this year. It’s
called Care of Footpath.
Age:
14 years old
Home country:
India
My favourite …
films:
horror, action
actors: Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise
director: Steven Spielberg
things: sports and films!
Reading

Read Kishan’s profile. Are the
sentences true (T) or false (F)?
1 Kishan comes from India. T
2 Kishan hates horror films.
3 Kishan’s two favourite things are
reading and films.
2
1.29 Read the article. Answer
the questions.
1 Why is Kishan famous?
Because he’s an Indian film director.
2 What is Care of Footpath about?
3 Where do street children live?
4 Why is it difficult for them to change
their lives?
5 What does Slummu want to do?
6 Who is Care of Footpath for?
7 What is the message of the film?
8 What is Kishan doing at the moment?
Care of Footpath is very different from other Bollywood
films. It isn’t a comedy or a musical. It’s the story of a young
street child in Bangalore. Street children in India are very
poor. They live on the streets of big cities. Their lives are
very hard. They don’t go to school and it’s difficult for them
to change their lives.
Care of Footpath is very sad in the beginning but it has
a happy ending. The main character in the film is called
Slummu. Slummu has a dream. He wants to go to school
and study, but how? At the end of the film, Slummu’s
dream comes true!
Kishan wants to help street children in India and other
countries. He says Care of Footpath is for street children all over
the world. The message of the film is ‘nothing is impossible’. At
the moment Kishan is making another film. It’s about a group of
Indian teenagers and their different problems!

Ancient Civilisations
1 Ancient Egypt was a civilisation in North Africa.
a
The Nile River ran through Ancient Egypt. Two
separate kingdoms developed along the Nile River
- the kingdom in Upper Egypt and the kingdom in
Lower Egypt. In 3200 BC the pharaoh of the north
conquered the south and Egypt became one country.
The pharaoh’s name was King Narmer or Menes.
2 The Roman Empire began in Italy in 27 BC. It
was small at first, but it became very big. In the
end, North Africa, Spain, France, Germany and
England were all part of it. The Romans play an
important part in our lives today. Many of the
things we do or have are from the Romans.
The Romans spoke and wrote in Latin and many of
our words come from Latin words. Our calendar, for
example, started with Julius Caesar, a Roman ruler.

3 The Aztec people were from central Mexico. From
the 13th century, the Valley of Mexico was the centre
of Aztec civilisation. In AD 1325 the Aztecs lived in
central Mexico City, a large, beautiful and powerful
city, on a small island called Tenochtitlan. The ancient
Aztecs believed in many gods and goddesses. Songs and
poetry were also very important for them. There were
poetry competitions at most of the Aztec festivals.

It was midnight and it was raining when
Ed Badman arrived at the DVD shop.
First, Ed climbed up the wall. Next, he
broke a window, went through it and
jumped down into the shop. He stole
DVDs, MP3 players and a DVD player. Then
he tried to leave through the back door but
it was locked.
Ed had an idea. He climbed onto an old
chair and tried to climb through the broken
window. Unfortunately, the chair broke. Ed
fell off the chair and broke his leg. Finally,
the police arrived. ‘I want to go home!’ Ed
told them. The police took him away in the
police car – not home, but to prison!

5 Who joined the Mural Arts Program?
6 When did Angelica join the program?
7 Who does Angelica help?
Angelica Da Silva is 14 years old. She lives in Philadelphia, in
the USA. From Monday to Friday Angelica goes to school,
but every weekend she becomes an artist! She works with the
Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.
Thirty years ago, horrible graffiti covered many buildings in
Philadelphia. The people of the city weren’t happy about this,
but what could they do? In the end, they found an answer to
the problem. They started the Mural Arts Program. Murals
are beautiful, big paintings on the walls of buildings. Many
teenagers from Philadelphia joined the Mural Arts Program.
These young people often had problems at home and school.
The Mural Arts Program helped these teenagers. Through the
program, they learned about art and became artists.
Angelica joined the Mural Arts Program in 2011. Now she
paints beautiful pictures on the walls of many city buildings.
First she chooses a wall. Then she asks the owner’s permission
to paint it. Next she designs a mural with the help of the
teachers in the program. Finally, she paints the wall with her
friends. It’s really exciting!
Angelica paints every weekend. She also teaches young
children to paint. The Mural Arts Program helped her a lot,
and now she’s helping other teenagers.

Some genes are stronger than other genes. For
example, darker colours are usually stronger than
lighter colours. This means a parent with blue eyes
and a parent with brown eyes usually have a child
with brown eyes.

1
What colour are your eyes? What colour are your
parents’ eyes? The answer to these questions is in your
parents’ genes. There is a strong connection between
the colour of your iris and your parents’ eye colour.
Sometimes babies are born with blue eyes and their
eyes change colour when they become older. They
change because a special protein changes one
gene. Scientists are still trying to find out how genes
and eye colour really work.
2
Every cell in your body has chromosomes. These
contain DNA: our genes. Genes are pieces of biological
information from our parents. You have between 25,000
and 35,000 genes in your body. Half of the genes come
from your father. Half come from your mother.

This week’s green problem
What about you? In pairs, ask and answer.
1 How often do you buy new clothes?
2 What do you do with your old clothes?
3 Do you think a swap shop is a good idea?
4 What things would you like to swap?
How often do you
buy new clothes?
I usually buy new
clothes every month.
Zoe from Richmond in the UK has got a
lot of old clothes and she doesn’t want
them any more.
Z I’m so bored with my old T-shirts and
jeans! I really, really hate them! I’m
going to throw half of them away!
I Now calm down, Zoe. That’s a terrible idea.
Did you know that in the UK people throw
away 900,000 tonnes of clothes every year!
The chemicals in the clothes pollute the
environment. You should reuse old clothes
or recycle them.
Z How can I do that?
I You should organise a swap shop.
Z What’s a swap shop?
I It’s a party! First find all your old clothes. Then
phone your friends and invite them to your
house. Ask them to bring all their old clothes
with them because you are going to swap
clothes. It’s easy, fun and free – and it recycles
the clothes. You can all get a new ‘look’ and
save money! You should have swap shops
and recycle other things too – computer
games, DVDs or magazines, for example.
Z That’s a great idea – and a green idea!
I Correct. So, Zoe, are you going to throw
old things away?
Z No, I’m not. From now on, I’m going
to have swap shops and I’m going to
protect the planet!

Adventure
1 Helen Skelton is a famous British television
presenter. She was born on 19 July 1983, in
Cumbria, in England. She has worked on the BBC
children’s programme Blue Peter since 2008.
2 Helen is an amazing person. She has run
a 126-kilometre marathon across the desert in
Namibia. She is the second woman in the world
to do this. She has also travelled over 3,000
kilometres all the way down the Amazon River in a
kayak. She did this to raise money for Sport Relief,
a charity event for the world’s poorest countries.
3 The Amazon trip was difficult. Helen travelled
alone, 97 kilometres a day, six days a week. She
started out from Nauta, Peru on 28 January 2010
and arrived 49 days later in Almeirim, Brazil on
28 February. She felt ill because it was so hot, her
hands hurt from the kayaking, and she had over
150 insect bites, but she finished the trip.
4 After Helen left her kayak in Brazil, we asked
her, ‘What are you going to do when you get home
to England?’ ‘Well, I’ve missed my dog, Barney,
terribly,’ she answered. ‘So the first thing I’m going
to do is take him for a nice long walk!’

I’m having a great time in Asturias with my friends.
The school campsite is near a lake in the mountains
and there are lots of sports to do here. This week I’ve
had kayaking lessons and I’ve climbed Picu Urriello.
Yesterday we went for a long walk. We took a map
and a compass and we walked through a valley. It
was a hot day, but I forgot to take my sun hat. When I
got back to my tent, I had a very red face!
Today I’m going swimming. Don’t worry, I’ve put my
sun cream and my sun hat in my rucksack already!

THEME PARK
1
Micropolix is a theme park near Madrid in Spain.
It is 12,000 square metres and it is like a small town. It
has a town hall, a supermarket, an airport, a theatre,
a police academy, a hospital, a TV studio, a library and
other buildings.
2
The theme park is for children. Adults can also
come here, but there aren’t any activities for them.
3
About 200 people work in the theme park. Some
people organise activities for the children and others look
after the children while they are in Micropolix.
4
When children come to the theme park, first
they become citizens of Micropolix. Next they go to
the Micropolix bank and get some Micropolix money:
the Eurix. Then they use their money to do different
activities. If they want more money, they get a job and
make more money.
Children can take part in many different activities.
For example, they can learn to be police officers at
the police academy, they can learn to be nurses at
the hospital, they can sell things in the shops as shop
assistants, or learn to fly an aeroplane. Children have
fun at the park, but the most important thing is that
they learn about real life.

Forget babysitting!
OK, OK, it’s true. Looking after the neighbour’s baby isn’t the most
stimulating job in the world. But what other work can a teenager do?
House cleaning
Busy people don’t have much time for
housework, so you can offer to clean
their house or tidy their garage.
Gardening
People always need help in the garden.
In spring you can plant flowers, in
summer you can water and cut the lawn,
in autumn you can sweep dead leaves
and in winter you can shovel snow.
Car cleaning
You can wash people’s cars weekly
or monthly.
Pet care
Do your neighbours have pets? Yes?
Then you’re in luck! Talk to them and
offer to walk their dog, clean out the fish
tank or feed their cat. You can even look
after their pet when they go on holiday.
Cooking
Are you a good cook? Some people come
home late in the evening. They’re tired
and they don’t want to cook. You can
offer to have dinner ready for them. You
can also sell cakes to your neighbours.
Teaching computing
Some older people can’t use a computer.
Remember - they probably didn’t have a
computer when they were children. You
can make money teaching them to use
their computers.
Helping with homework
Are you good at music, a foreign
language, or Maths? Then you can help
younger children with their homework.

Heidi loves living with her grandfather. He makes furniture for
her from wood. But one day, Heidi’s aunt arrives. She works
in the city of Frankfurt. She takes Heidi to live in Frankfurt
with a girl called Clara. Clara lives in a big house in the city,
but she is ill and cannot walk and she feels lonely. Heidi likes
Clara and Clara’s grandmother teaches Heidi to read. But
Heidi really wants to go and live in the Swiss mountains again.
When she goes to live with her grandfather again, she teaches
Peter to read. When Clara comes to visit her, she helps to
make Clara well again.

South Africa is home to 299 types of mammal
and over 850 types of bird. There are 20
national parks in South Africa. These parks
protect wild animals, plants and natural
environments. Many people visit these parks
to go on safari and see the animals. The most
famous animals in South Africa are the ‘Big
Five’ – the buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion
and rhinoceros. They are some of the most
impressive animals in South Africa but also the
most dangerous.

New Zealand is a country in the
south-western Pacific Ocean. It
has two large islands, the North
Island and the South Island, and
its capital is Wellington.
The first people in New Zealand
came from Polynesia in boats about
a thousand years ago. We don’t
know exactly when they came. They
developed their own culture and
today we call them Maoris.
For a long time the Maoris were
the only people in the country.
Then, in 1642, the Dutch explorer,
Abel Tasman, arrived with two
ships. Unfortunately, there was a
fight between the Europeans and
the Maoris and many people died.
Tasman left and Europeans did not
come again for many years.
In 1769, the British explorer, James
Cook, sailed to New Zealand and
made the first maps of its coastline.
After that, many European and North
American ships arrived. They wanted
to hunt for whales in the Pacific and
trade with the Maoris.
126
In the
nineteenth
century,
many British
people came
to live in
New Zealand
and they
bought land
from the
Maoris. In
1840, the British government signed
an agreement with the Maoris,
the Treaty of Waitangi, and New
Zealand became part of the British
Empire. In 1893, New Zealand
became the first country in the world
to give women the right to vote.
Today New Zealand is a quiet
country with a high standard of living.
