Skills 2 Reading 1 Read the article about Jasmine Stevens. What does she intend to do when she finishes this job? Jasmine Stevens is 25, and she’s from Bristol in England. She’s got a very exciting job. What does she do? Well, she’s the Global Tourism Ambassador for Hamilton Island, a tropical island on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Her job is to encourage tourists to visit the island. She lives in a beautiful villa with a view of the sea. It’s got three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a swimming pool. ‘The furniture is really nice. It’s Italian!’, says her boyfriend, Mario. He’s from Italy! Jasmine’s bedroom’s got a big bed and a TV and there’s a huge TV in the living room. But Jasmine doesn’t watch TV very much, she doesn’t have time. Why? What does Jasmine do every day? ‘Well, it depends. Every day is different. I get up at around seven; I swim in the pool, have a shower and have a big breakfast. I start work at about half past eight. I explore the island, and write about it; I’ve got an incredible computer. I write a blog and a photo diary, and answer my letters.’ That’s not all she does. Jasmine also talks to the people that live and work in Hamilton. And she works with local marine biologists – there are over 30,000 different kinds of fish on the island. There are a lot of animals to see on Hamilton, and Jasmine visits the parks and takes photos for her photo diary. Her favourites are the koala bears and the kangaroos. She loves animals and wants to work in a safari park in Australia when this job finishes. She doesn’t only talk to people on the island; she also travels to other countries to talk about her experiences. Jasmine laughs ‘I don’t work long hours – just two or three hours a day, so my job isn’t tiring! I’m happy. It’s the perfect job and they give me a lot of money to do it!’ Jasmine makes 70,000 pounds a year. ‘There are lots of things to do and see here. It’s a fantastic place. Come and visit me on paradise island!’ 2 Correct the information in these sentences.

Skills 3 Reading 1 Scott Bradley is on holiday on the western coast of Wales. Read his testimonial for the campsite brochure. What does he usually do at midnight? Hi! I’m Scott Bradley, I’m 16 and I’m from Liverpool. Here I am at the Cardigan Bay campsite in Wales. We come here every year in our camper and we love it. This is the end of our first week. There are lots of activities, so it’s never boring here. I wake up at 8 every morning, get dressed and go jogging with my dad. I love it! My sister Sarah hates getting up early on holiday; she prefers lying in bed with a book or a magazine. When we get back I take her a cup of tea and dad makes breakfast. After breakfast, I meet my friends. We usually go to the seaside at New Quay. The beaches are beautiful and we sometimes see dolphins! We go there by bus. It often rains and the sea’s usually cold but we don’t mind. We always swim! It’s exciting. We play football or tennis on the beach. The village is small but it’s interesting. It’s only three miles away so we rent bikes or go on foot. There’s a supermarket, a post office and a pub. OK, so it’s not Las Vegas, but we love going there. We usually buy chocolate and bottles of water and come back again. I always have lunch with my family. Sarah makes it. After lunch we go exploring. There are some fantastic coastal paths. We stay out for hours, so we take our back packs with clothes and sandwiches and drinks. In the evening we make a campfire on the beach and have a barbecue. My friend Josh has got a guitar and he sometimes plays it for us and sings. We never go to bed early here. There’s a small disco on the campsite and we usually go there at midnight. It’s a great place to make new friends! Cardigan Bay is cool, and the people are friendly. I love coming here. 2 Read the text again and complete the sentences. 1 Scott always _g_o_e_s_ to Wales with his family in the summer. 2 Scott _____________ at 8 every morning. 3 Scott’s sister, Sarah, can’t stand _____________ early on holiday. 4 Scott’s dad _____________ breakfast in the morning. 5 Scott usually _____________ football or tennis on the beach. 6 Scott and his friends _____________ the bus to the beach. 7 They sometimes _____________ bikes when they go to the village. 8 Josh plays his guitar for his _____________ .
