A BAD EXPERIENCE

My names John. One day last spring my friend, Anne, and I decided to go walking in the mountains.

When we left home,

the sun was shining and the sky was blue. We walked for about an hour and then we decided to climb

one of the mountains.

After half an hour, I stopped and looked up at the sky. There were black clouds and then it started to

rain very hard. Then lightning struck and we decided to escape from the storm. We were climbing

down the mountain when a rock fell on my head. I fell down and I couldnt move. Anne couldnt lift me

and so she called the rescue team on her mobile phone.

We waited in the storm and then a helicopter arrived. The rescue team lifted me onto a special bed

and then into the helicopter. They flew me to a hospital in the next town. I didnt feel well and I was

frightened, but I survived the accident.

After a week in hospital, I went home. I still go walking now but I always check the weather before Ileave.

5 Read the text and answer the questions.


In my opinion, life in the future will be very different. Everyone will have a

computer and they will use it for work and study. People wont go to offices

or shops to work they will work from home. Students will also stay at home

and learn with computers.

Communication will be very fast. People wont write letters because

everyone will use e-mail. When people want to chat, they will use

videophones and so they will see as well as hear the other person.

I think houses will be different. They will be more efficient because they will

create energy with solar panels. Computers will control everything in the

house. If you are out, the computer in your cooker will prepare your dinner

for you. Your fridge will tell you when to buy milk, eggs, butter, etc.

I believe people will have more free time because they wont

travel to work or school. Machines will do a lot of the jobs at

home, but I dont think robots will work in peoples houses.

Im not sure if people will travel to other planets because it

will be very

expensive.

5 Read the review and answer the questions.


We invited actor JOE EVANS to review his favourite CD of the month.

This week Im reviewing Good times by the American artist Richie Low. Richie started in the

music business as a rap artist with the band The New Yorkers. They split up after problems with

their manager.This CD is a change in style for Richie. The lyrics in his first CDs were very aggressive but in

Good times they are more romantic. The music is different, too. The sound is more soul than rap.

The band still uses drum and bass rhythms, but there is also a lot of saxophone and guitar. My

favourite songs are Go for it and Dream time. They feature the English vocalist Kelly Gray and

she creates a fantastic sound.

Dream time is the first single from the CD and I think it will be a bit hit. Richie Low is

preparing to go on tour next spring with Kelly Gray. Im not sure if the fans of his rap music will

enjoy the new style but I hope Richie will make a lot of new fans.
