Which teenagers work outside? Which teenagers work with animals?

Have you got a job?

Lynne is fifteen years old. She loves football and works as a referee
at football games for young boys and girls. She plays football on
Sundays so she only works on Saturdays. She gets £15 for one
match. She likes the players and she loves the job.

Fran is sixteen. It’s July now and she’s a helper with a vet in London
for one week. She doesn’t get any money, but she learns a lot and
she likes the work. It’s good for the vet, Mr Meyer, because Fran
helps him with the animals. She also answers the phone and cleans
the floor. All her work is inside.

Helen is seventeen and she works in a big hotel on Saturdays. She’s
a waitress. She works six hours – three hours in the morning and
three hours in the evening. She gets £30 and tips. She likes her job.

Sam is fourteen. His dad is a farmer and Sam helps him at the
weekends. He works from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday.
He works outside with his father. The job is dirty and difficult and, in
the winter, it’s cold. Sam doesn’t get any money, but he loves
the work.

What kind of tiger was it?

This is a true story.

It happened in England on a
spring day in 2011.

Alan Carr was on a walk near Marwell golf club.
He noticed a strange animal in the long grass and
climbed up a tree to see it with his binoculars.
The animal was a white tiger. Alan climbed down
the tree and called 999. A police car arrived at
the golf club in minutes. And at 4 p.m., all the
players stopped their games and walked into the
club house. Then a police helicopter arrived. After
that, police and animal experts walked across the
grass to the tiger. They were surprised because
the tiger didn’t move. Suddenly, the wind from the
helicopter pushed the animal onto its back. And
then they realised
that it wasn’t a
real tiger. It was
a toy.

players back outside?

Scotland to Cape Town in South Africa.
They drove for eighty-five days and
