rt 2 The Medal: Part Amy

Do you think there’ll be much information about the Mexico Olympics?

Jake Well, I don’t think it’ll be very difficult to find out about the basic facts. But what we really want to know is, who was Alan Smith, and what was his sport?

Danny Let’s google him. We might find him like that.

Jake We won’t! There’ll be millions of people with that name. Yes, look!

Danny OK, well, keep trying. We might find a website that lists all the medal winners. Let’s see …

Amy You two do that, and I think I’ll look him up in a reference book. Let’s see who can find him first.

Jake OK, you’re on. It’s a race.

Amy Come on, Tina, will you help me beat them?

Tina Sure. Although we may not manage it, you know. The Internet is awfully fast.

Amy Maybe, we’ll see.

Jake Aha! This is the site we want. Medal winners.

I’ll just scroll down … 1968 … Oh bother, they list the names under each sport. I guess we just click on athletics first and then work our way down the list. No, nobody called Alan Smith there … No, he isn’t under basketball …

Danny Fingers crossed he wasn’t a weightlifter. It’ll take all day!

Jake Tell you what, you go on to the next computer and start from the bottom of the list. It won’t take very long then.

Danny OK. Amy YESSS! We’ve found him. We’ve won! Here he is.

‘Alan Smith, Great Britain’. His medal was for the triathlon.

Danny The triathlon? That’s three sports, isn’t it? But which ones?

Amy Hang on … Running, swimming and cycling.

That’s amazing! Imagine being the best in the world at all that!

Tina Well, I think we should try to find out more about Alan Smith. Perhaps he’s local. Who knows? We may discover he lives in our street.

Amy Yes, I agree. We can start with the vase, and whoever donated it. It was in a whole box of things, wasn’t it?

Tina Good thinking. We’ll have more time after the car boot sale tomorrow. Then we can start looking for our Olympic champion!

The two men were attempting to cross a glacier 4 .

‘Unfortunately he hit his head as he fell and was just hanging there at the end of the rope,’ explained Steven. ‘I couldn’t pull him up, he was a dead weight. I couldn’t do anything except wait for him to wake up. Thank goodness for Hattie.’

‘The rescue team searched for ages 5 ,’ said Harriet, ‘but by then it was getting dark. They nearly gave up for the night. But luckily they managed to pull them both up into the helicopter. Ben woke up 6 !’

This is the first book in the amazing Spellbound series.

1 I couldn’t put it down. It was entertaining, funny and clever all the way through. I loved all the characters, and now I want to see the TV version. 2Try it, you won’t regret it!

This is the worst book I’ve ever read. 5The plot is unbelievable and so are the characters. And I warn you, when you get to the last page, 6the ending is really weak too.

OK, 7it’s an easy read, so I suppose it’s a good book to take on holiday.

I love Coles usually but this isn’t one of his best. Parts of it are brilliant, but 3the plot was quite confusing, and generally I found it quite disappointing. 4I didn’t manage to finish it.

If you’re new to Coles, don’t start with this one – that’s my advice.

1 Read the reviews. Match the highlighted expressions 1–9 with the expressions in the box.

I couldn’t read it all.

It’s not a difficult book.

I didn’t want to stop reading. 1 I recommend it.

It’s very enjoyable.

The story isn’t realistic.

The last part isn’t very good.

I didn’t understand the story.

It’s really exciting.

★★★★★ georgieP This is 8a really great read – one of my all-time favourites.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award

Skills You develop existing skills, or learn a new one. This is a chance to learn First Aid, or do a photography course, or continue with something you already do, like playing a musical instrument.

Expedition Small groups work together to plan, train for and then complete an adventurous journey over two or more days. You carry your own camping equipment and cook for yourself along the way.

The ‘D of E’ is a scheme for young people between the ages of 14 and 25. Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip (the Duke of Edinburgh), started the scheme in 1956. About 275,000 people take part in the UK every year, and it also takes place in more than 120 other countries. The award has three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold.

Each level has four sections: Volunteering You work as a volunteer for a few hours every week. For example, some people work in charity shops, visit old people or help out at playschemes, while others do conservation work.

Physical You practise a physical activity (e.g. sport, or dancing) regularly. It can be something you already do, or something new.

The Gold level has a fifth section: Residential You spend 5 days and 4 nights away from home and work as a volunteer with a team of people you’ve never met before. Some people go abroad but most stay in their own country.
