A dancer’s life
| work as a dancer, and I’m also studying part-time. | practise most
days and have to do my college work, so I can’t always go out with
my friends at weekends, but that’s fine. We text each other every day.
| mostly dance in musicals, but in the future I'm hoping to start jazz
dance. My mum always comes to watch me on stage. She's my biggest
fan! Being a dancer isn’t easy, but | want to do it as longas | can.
There are dancers of all ages in my dance company and every year
we go on international tours together. My cousin also dances with me.
She's been a dancer for seven years and people everywhere know her
now. She was a jazz dancer in the past, but loves what we do now. |
don’t usually feel worried before | dance in front of others ~ I know I'm
good! But that’s only because | try so hard. | spend about three hours
dancing every day.
I come from a family of dancers so maybe it's not surprising I'm one
too. I'm in a hip-hop group at the moment, but actually | can dance to
any music ~ even jazz! I’m the youngest member of my dance group.
Before each show, | think of everything that might go wrong, but | try
hard to tell myself it'll all be OK. We dance all over the country, so I'm
away from home almost every day and | miss my friends a lot.

For each question, choose the correct answer.
Travel writer
Tim Greenwood lives in Oakland, USA. He has written about Cambodia, Thailand and India.
At the moment he is writing a book about Nepal.
Tim, how did you start travelling?
We never travelled as a family, but when I was a teenager | saw movies like Lawrence of
Arabia and they made me want to travel. | left college at the age of 21 and went to Europe
alone. That trip didn’t go well - I was too young and didn’t know how to look after myself.
How did you start writing?
I've loved writing since | was ten - I've never wanted any other career. At 21, | wrote for
my weekly college paper and then started writing travel articles. At first, none of the travel
magazines | sent them to wanted to buy them, but that slowly changed. It took two or three
years, | guess.
What do you find difficult about writing?
Itis easy to spend all my time travelling and then not have time to open up my laptop and
work! Also, it's hard to earn enough money. I'll never stop writing, but one day I may have to
do a few hours a week teaching just to pay the bills.
What's the best thing about being a travel writer?
| get letters from young people who've read my books and articles and enjoy my work. I just
love that!
