What kind of school has got both animals and people as students?
Hollywood Animals does. It's a wild animal training school outside of
Los Angeles, California. At this unique school students learn to train
exotic animals of 011 kinds.
Students work with tigers, bears, lions, chimpanzees and other exotic
animals. First, they learn 011 about the animals and their behaviour.

3 Training animals
A is very safe.
B is not easy work.

work with teachers to train the animals.


At Hollywood Animals, they train animals to be performers, for example,
to be in circuses or zoos. But most of the animals here are really

walk. When the animals are more experienced they learn to do all kinds
of amazing things. The tigers can run, jump and even fight when their
trainer tells them to. And the clever chimpanzees can even look happy,
sad or nervous for the camera!
Although working with exotic animals is very exciting, it is also very hard
work. Students work long days at the animal centre. And even training
the animals isn't always fun . First, there are lots of rules about safety
that the students have to follow. Then, they have to be very patient as
training animals takes time and practice.
Many different types of people come from 011 over the world to study at
Hollywood Animals. The students don't need a degree or any special
education to study here. Some experience working with animals is
helpful, but the most important thing is to really love exotic animals.
People take the course because they want to find a job working closely
with animals. Some students become animal trainers for film and TV.
Many others use their new skills to get jobs in zoos, aquariums, or
circuses. But whatever they do after the course, one thing is sure. Students
never forget their experience at Hollywood Animals school.

Reading Task (multiple choice)


Read the text. In each question (1-6) choose
the right answer A, B, Cor D.
TerrifYing and merciless -are the words to describe this most
famous English pirate. Blackbeard was a large, tall man and he
carried two swords, lots of guns and kni ves. His real name was
Edward Teac h, but he got his pirate name fi'om the long black
beard which covered most of his face. Ships all over the
Caribbean Sea feared an attack by Blackbeard and his crew.
Teach began his career on the high seas at an early age
when he sailed in tile English Navy in the War of tl,e
Spanish Succession ( 1702-1 713). After the war he joined
the crew of the Pirate Homigold. In 1717, they captured a
French ship that Homigold later gave to Teach. Teach took
control of this ship which he named 'The Queen Anne's
Revenge' . This was the fi rst of many ships that he commanded,
and it began his reputation as a terri fYing and dangerous pirate.
Over the next year, Blackbeard and his crew captured more than 50
ships. They often leamed a ship's nationality and then raised that
country's flag in order to appear fi-i endly. Thi s allowed Blackbeard's ship to get close to the other ship. The pirates then
raised Blackbeard 's flag and attacked tile ship. They went on board the ship and stole treasure and goods.
Blackbeard's li fe came to an end when the Royal British Navy sent Lieute nant Maynard after Blackbeard in November,

1718. Maynard found Blackbeard and his crew in small harbour in North Carolina. The pirates and Maynard 's crew
fought each other. [n the battle, Maynard shot and killed Blackbeard. Aftelwards, Maynard searched for Blackbeard 's
treasure, but was unable fi nd it. When Blackbeard died so did the secret of his treasure which remains a mystery to this
day.

impolite to starl eating before your host has served
everyone at the table. Try not to put your elbows on the

in France it is important to always say 'please' and


'thank you' to people serving at the table. When eating
bread, break off a piece with your fingers rather than
use a knife. When you are at a restaurant and haven't
finished your food make sure you don't leave your fork
and knife on your plate as this is a signal for the waiter
to take your Plate.

ll,l.rl ri

We are a student conservation group that works to protect wildlife locally and globally. Every

day, more and more species, like the brown bear, the African elephant and the cheetah, become
endangered. As a group, we work on different projects that protect our wonderfulwildlife.

ETI

One of our goals is to get local people to join. We organise events with schools and

other local organisations to raise money for the conservation of different nature parks.

Through our conservation work and events, our members never stop learning about

wildlife. We attend wildlife talks with animal expefts and take smalltrips to forests and mountains
as part of our efforl to stay in touch with the latest information on conservation issues. One of our

most impoftant activities is the improvement of our area by planting more trees and gardens and
cleaning up parks and nature areas.

Teaching people to respect nature is our main goal. Through our events and

lks, people learn about the importance of wildlife, We also send out a lot of
and visit schools to present the problems wildlife faces today.

Right now, we are working with other conservation groups to create a


nature park in East Oxford. lt's a park that provides a safe place for wildlife to grow
develop. We organise work days in the park where our members help develop

and clean up an area of the park. We are proud that we have created such a
valuable area.

Here at the Oxford Student Wildlife Group, we want

to make

positive

changes in the world, We love nature and want to protect it, We are always happy to
have new members. So, take a friend and come and check us out!

For the Vikings, the greatest achievement for any man was to
do something great in their lifetime so that people remembered
them after their death. To achieve this, some Vikings sailed the
seas in search of treasure and new lands. One of the most
famous Vikings is Eric Thorvaldson. He achieved fame as Erik
the Red, the man who discovered Greenland.
Erik the Red lived between 950-1005 AD. He got his name from
his bright red hair and beard, and his hot, fiery personality. For
the first part of his life, Erik lived happily in lceland. His
adventures started in 981, when he had a fight with his
neighbours and killed two men. Local people were very mad.
They told Erik to leave the country for 3 years. Erik and his
family had no choice. They left Iceland and sailed off into the
huge Atlantic ocean.
Erik sailed west from Iceland to look for a new island to live on.
However, he sailed so far that he discovered something
amazing. A new country! Erik spent two years exploring the
new country. The land was mostly covered in ice, but he found
Viking men wanted

B to write lots of history books.
C to find lots of ships.
D to be famous after they died.
Eric

left lceland because

to
found a colony there. To begin his
colony, Erik needed help. So, in 985,
he returned to Iceland to tell people
about his "wonderful" new land.
Erik called his new land Greenland
to make people think it was a nicer
place to live than Iceland. Many
people were interested in the new
country. When Erik sailed back to
Greenland in 986, 25 ships with 500
men and women and many animals
went with him.
The Vikings started two colonies in
Greenland. To survive, they farmed
sheep and cows, hunted polar bears
and whales, and traded whale bones

and bear skins. Thanks to their


farming and hunting skills the
colonies grew and grew. By the year

1000, about 3,000 people lived in


Greenland. For the next 500 years,
Vikings lived in Greenland. Then,
the Vikings left, and no one really
understands why. But Erik the Red
is still famous as the man who
discovered and named Greenland!
