Reading
A mountain adventure Grace and Jim Stewart have had a wonderful summer adventure in Kenya. Two weeks ago the two teenagers climbed the 5,896 metres of Mount Kilimanjaro with their parents. They climbed for seven days and saw lots of amazing things. The two teenagers are very tired after days spent trekking in the mountains, but they are also very happy. Did they enjoy their time spent climbing one of the world’s highest mountains? ‘I’ll never forget it,’ says Grace. ‘It was very beautiful: tall trees and rainforests … there was always something new to see. It was boiling hot during the day and as we got higher hi gher it got much colder. The nights were freezing! Jim says, ‘We had a very good guide with us who told us lots of stories about the mountain and the plants we saw. Of course, what we saw from the top was the best thing for me – it was amazing!’ How did the family prepare for their climb? Grace laughs. ‘There aren’t any mountains near my home in England, but we went for lots of long walks in the hills. The hardest thing was packing our backpacks – we needed lots of warm clothes and a tent for the evenings, but we didn’t want our bags to be too big and heavy. So what are the family’s plans for the rest of the holiday? Jim says, ‘We’ve never been to Kenya before so we’re going to have a few days on a beach now.’

I’ve always loved this talent show – the judges are very funny and the music is fantastic. My friends and I usually watch it together on Saturday nights.

We saw five different acts: acts: my favourite was was a singer and and dancer called called Katy Parish Parish who has a great voice and is a brilliant dancer, too. She has wanted to perform on TV since she was six. I was so happy that she was the winner of the show!
3
Most of the acts were really good. There was a super boy band with three musicians who were only thirteen years old. They have played their t heir guitars for years and are really good! The only act I didn’t like was a piano player who played classical music – I thought that was a bit boring.

Food for life 1
American teenager, Louisa Briggs, has just written a book and she is going to be on TV next week. The book is Food for Life, and it is full of ideas for how teenagers can stay healthy and feel well.
2
Why did she decide to write this book? Fifteen-year-old Fifteen-year-old Louisa says, ‘A year ago I felt really tired all the time and I didn’t know why. I had no energy and I was very unfit! So I decided I needed to do something. When I started feeling healthy and fit I wanted to tell the world how good it was!’
3
Louisa started to go swimming every morning. She stopped buying junk food and started eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. She learnt to cook and made healthy meals of grilled fish and vegetables for herself and her family.
4
Louise says, ‘I feel and look so much better now. I never get headaches or sore throats now and everyone says I look great! It wasn’t difficult to change my life. It’s not hard to live a healthy life – you don’t need a lot of money. But you do need to want to change!’
5
What advice does Louisa have for teenagers who want to change their lifestyles? Louisa says teenagers shouldn’t try to change their lives li ves too quickly. ‘Start small,’ she says. ‘You mustn’t do too much or you will just j ust feel worse. Try doing a little exercise on the first day – a short walk, not a long swim! Eat healthy snacks – you should eat fruit when you are hungry, not sweets. And have a healthy breakfast. Everyone should eat a good breakfast.’

Camping disaster 1
Two teenagers had a disaster on holiday when they were caught in a terrible storm during their camping trip, but they are now safe and well back home. Teenagers Belle and Lucy Davis were bored with being at at home in the summer summer holidays when when all their friends friends were away. away. They decided to take some clothes and their tent and go camping in the mountains.
2
‘It was a lovely sunny day when we decided to go camping,’ says Lucy. Belle said ‘Everyone else is on holiday, why not us? It’s so boring being at home!’ So we decided to pack our sun cream and sunglasses quickly and go camping while the sun was shining. It only took us ten minutes to get our backpacks ready!’
3
Unfortunately, the good weather didn’t last long. ‘It started to rain while we were putting up the tent,’ says Belle. ‘We weren’t too worried, and we decided to start our camping trip!’
4
It continued to rain, and soon it got very windy, too. ‘We were a bit scared’, says Lucy, ‘but it was getting dark and it was too late to go home.’ A few minutes later, water started com coming ing into the tent. ‘We started running’, says Belle. ‘We couldn’t run very fast because we were wearing flip-flops! We decided to go to the nearest house and look for help!’
5
Luckily, Lucy had a map and they found a house not far away. They phoned their parents, and their mum came to take them home by car. Are the girls planning another camping trip? They laugh. ‘We don’t know’, they say. ‘Maybe hotels are safer!’
