Young entrepreneurs

How do you become a successful entrepreneur while you’re still at school? Four young people explain how they did it.

Katie Bradley, 14 - The chef

I’ve always eaten cakes, but when I learned to make them I realised how unhealthy many of them were. So I wanted to find a way to make healthy cakes, without much sugar. Instead of lots of sugar, I used more fruit and healthy kinds of low-sugar chocolate. The results were amazing – they were delicious, and also good for you. My mum encouraged me to start selling them at our local market, and I came up with the name ‘Katie’s cakes’. I was surprised at how popular they were! Now I’ve been contacted by a big supermarket. They’re keen to sell my products, so I’m really excited!

Ben Stewart, 15 - The blogger

I love writing, so one day my teacher suggested I started a blog. But there are lots of blogs on the internet, and I wanted my blog to be different. Then I had a great idea. I'm really interested in shopping, and I also know more about money than most teenagers: you know, how to earn it and how to save it. So I started a shopping and money blog for teenagers. I give people advice about shopping − and if they have money problems, I tell them the best thing to do. I started the website a year ago, and it's grown and grown. Thousands of people visit my blog now, and I make money from adverts on the blog. I’ve had lots of great messages from people too. One person said that I had changed their life. That’s awesome!

Gareth Jones, 13 - The website designer

I’ve had a computer since I was six years old, so I’ve grown up with I.T. I use websites all the time to help me with my homework. But in the past I often couldn’t find the answers to simple questions very quickly. I realised that many teenagers were probably having the same problem. So I came up with an idea for a new website. It's designed to help people with their homework, and it's already become very popular. It's for young people and written by young people too. It doesn’t cost anything to use the website, but I have advertisements on there so I’m making a lot of money. It’s brilliant!

Davina Richards, 16 - The online seller

When I was twelve years old, I wanted to go on a school trip. But my mum said that she wouldn’t pay for it − I could only go on the trip if I paid for it myself. So, I needed to sell something and make money. My mum showed me how to use eBay, and I looked through my old CDs, books and gadgets and decided which ones to sell. I made £100 in the first few days, and after that I couldn’t stop. Now I’ve got an online shop. I buy things to sell in my shop, and my friends and I make things to sell online too.

Which person …

21. had an idea because they were having trouble with something?  

22. started by selling some of his/her old things?     

23. gives free advice to people?     

24. made something in a different way?  

VII. Read the text. Choose the correct answers.

On top of the world

In January 2015, Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell climbed to the top of the Dawn Wall of El Capitan − a famous mountain in Yosemite National Park, USA. This is often described as the world’s most difficult rock climb. It took Jorgeson and Caldwell eighteen days to climb the 900 metres to the top! During this time, they hung tents off the rock, and ate and slept in them. The Dawn Wall is so difficult because there is nothing big for climbers to hold onto. Jorgeson and Caldwell had to climb by holding tiny pieces of rocks with the ends of their fingers. They used ropes to protect themselves from falling, but not to help them climb.

Kevin Jorgeson nearly didn't finish the climb. He found one part of the Dawn Wall extremely difficult. It took him seven days to do this part, and he fell eleven times. His fingers were damaged too, so he had to wait for them to get better before he could continue. But in the end, both men finished the climb together. It was an amazing achievement.

Only two weeks later, an ice climber called Will Gadd became the first person to climb a frozen part of the Niagara Falls. These falls, on the Niagara River between America and Canada, are the biggest waterfalls in North America. They are made of three separate waterfalls, and Gadd climbed the Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side. In winter, a part of these 50.9 metre falls freezes, and Gadd wanted to climb up the ice. But it was an extremely difficult climb. The ice was very thick in some places, but not in other places. And because only a part of the waterfall was frozen, a lot of water fell past Gadd as he climbed. Gadd knew that if he fell, he would probably die− but he got to the top.

But why do people want to do dangerous climbs like these? 'Dangerous situations are very exciting,' says climber Terrence Jones. 'They make you feel alive.' Humans have always looked for challenges, but many of the old challenges – like climbing Mount Everest – aren’t exciting enough for some climbers because so many people have already done them. ‘Climbers like Caldwell and Gadd want to achieve more than anyone else,’ says Jones, ‘so that the world will read about them in the papers and see them on TV.’

One day people will complete all of the difficult climbs on Earth, so what will climbers do then? ‘I don’t know,’ says Jones. ‘But perhaps one day far in the future people won’t climb on Earth. There are still mountains to climb on Mars!’ This may never happen, of course, but one thing is certain: the search for adventure will not stop.

25. What is true about the climb of the Dawn Wall?

A. The climbers couldn't sleep until they finished.

B. The climbers completed it at the same time.

C. Both climbers found it quite easy.

D. Ropes helped both men to climb.

26. The writer says that Will Gadd’s climb was difficult because ___________

A. he got wet.

A. they like the excitement.

B. they want to die.

C. they feel lucky to be alive.

D. they aren’t afraid of anything.

28. He suggests that in the future, some people ____________

A. will find more challenging climbs on Earth.

B. won’t want to climb mountains any more.

C. will be more interested in space travel.

D. may climb on other planets.

29. My friends and I arrived here three months ago.

VII. Now read the whole text. Choose the correct answers (A-D).

Mark Harris is a research scientist at Rothera Research Station, on Adelaide Island in the Antarctic. We asked Mark what were the best and the worst things about living in the Antarctic.

‘The best thing about being here is the wonderful view,’ Mark said. ‘On my first day, I was unlucky because I was ill and had to spend a few days in bed. The station’s doctor thought I’d eaten something bad at home, or in the station canteen, but I didn’t even go to the canteen. I think it was the meal I had on the journey across – it didn’t taste right to me. And so I was pretty miserable at the beginning. But then I lay in bed during those first days and watched icebergs drifting past my window. It was amazing! In summer, I like to be outside as much as possible. One of my jobs is to fly around with other scientists in a helicopter making observations and checking on experiments. We fly over the most fantastic places. Our pilots are really skilled. They can land anywhere – even on glaciers!’

‘I try not to think about the bad things, but there are some, of course. I like the food – it’s actually really good – but we don’t have fresh fruit and vegetables. I often think about the countryside: the green grass, the trees, and the flowers. I always look forward to seeing it again. But Rothera is great because there’s always someone to talk to if you’re feeling unhappy, and someone will always help you with a difficult task. But at the same time people understand when you want to be alone.’

‘There’s always plenty to do as well. You might think that living in the middle of so much snow is boring, but it isn’t at all. On good days I like to ski and snowboard, and watch the wildlife. I play badminton and table tennis at the station, and some nights I go to the gym, so fitness isn’t a problem. We have video nights and games nights, and we even have cookery and woodwork lessons. I’ve actually learned some great new skills since I’ve been here. I’ve also had two holidays, camping. Of course, I’d like to have many friends and family with me, and I always think about that, but that can’t happen for a while. I have to be patient. All in all, being at Rothera is a great experience.’

26. Mark thinks he ate something bad _________

A. a few days after he arrived at the station.             

B. during his trip to the station.

C. before he left home.

INVENTIONS THE WORLD FORGOT

The Telharmonium

The Telharmonium was the world's first electronic musical instrument. It was designed by Thaddeus Cahill in 1897. Music from the instrument was broadcast to people's homes using a telephone. Before the invention of the radio, people loved these first home concerts. After Cahill's death in 1934, his brother kept one of the three models, but in 1962 it was destroyed. No recordings of the music were kept, so the Telharmonium and its unique sound have disappeared forever.

The Writing Ball

Invented in 1865 by Rasmus Malling-Hansen from Denmark, the Writing Ball was a machine for typing onto paper. Its use of electricity made the movement faster. However, you could not see the paper as you were typing. Nevertheless, the Writing Ball was very successful. Since each model was made by hand, it was soon replaced by other cheaper machines produced in factories. A new keyboard with a different key arrangement appeared. The once-popular Writing Ball was forgotten.

The Antikythera Mechanism

In 1901, parts of an ancient machine were discovered on a ship near the Greek island of Antikythera. It had been made about 1,900 years earlier, in 2 BCE. For many years after its discovery, nobody understood exactly what the machine was for. In the 1970s, scientists found that this ancient computer had been designed to predict the movements of the sun, the moon and the planets. It did this using more than thirty hand-made metal wheels of different sizes. The remains of the Antikythera mechanism are now kept at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, together with a number of reconstructions to demonstrate how it may have worked.

VI. Read the text. Match sentences A–G with the gaps below. There are two extra sentences.

Shopping habits in the UK have changed over the last sixty years, and this can be seen in the changing appearance of any British high street – the main shopping street in a town or city. In the 1950s, high streets had rows of individual shops selling different things. (26) _________ Most people did this every few days in order to buy fresh food. The high street was a sociable place to be.

This started to change in the 1970s with the arrival of supermarkets. They gave people the chance to buy everything that they needed in one place. People didn’t need to go to individual shops any more. (27) _________ So this new type of shop, along with a new way of storing meat and fruit at home, meant that instead of doing a small shop every few days, people could buy all the food that they needed for a week, or sometimes even a month.

As supermarkets became more popular, they changed from small local shops to huge superstores. (28) _________ They took people away from the high street. They also tried to offer customers everything that they needed, like a coffee shop, a hairdresser's and a chemist's. (29) _________ But this meant that the shops on the high street started to close down as they lost their customers.

These days, more and more people are choosing not to go to supermarkets to do their shopping. (30) _________ People are also trying to spend less money, so a new type of discount shop has become very popular. It may be because of this that people have stopped doing big weekly or monthly shops. Now they go to shops more frequently to buy what they need for the next few days. So, in many ways, people seem to be going back to the way people shopped in the 1950s.

A. The idea was to get customers to spend all their money in one place.

B. Customers knew exactly where to find the things they needed in each shop.

C. And because of their size, many of these supermarkets were outside town.

D. People loved it because they had never had the chance to do all their shopping there before.
