There is a shopping centre opposite our block. I often go there on Saturdays to look at the shops or see a film. My favourite animal is black and white. It isn’t aggressive. It’s a bear, but it doesn’t hibernate. Can you guess the animal? Yes! It’s the panda bear and we must protect it because it’s in danger. Next Friday is my birthday.

We sometimes go on coach trips to different places or visit museums. We’re never bored. It’s not a bad life!

Look at the picture. 1. Why are these statues called ‘living statues’? 2. Do you see statues like this in your town?
An unusual job 1 My name is Adam. I work as a living statue or street statue. It’s not an active job, but it’s a good way to earn money and watch the world at the same time. You must be patient, fit and strong. It’s not easy to stay still for hours and hours. I usually work for two hours in one place, then I go and find a new place. 2 In the photo I’m working in the street. I’m dressed as a typical Englishman. I’m standing on a platform.There’s a small box on the platform. People usually watch me for a few minutes and then put some money in the box. But some people are very irritating. They don’t give me any money.
Instead, they touch me or they talk to me. I never answer, but sometimes I want to laugh. 3 I don’t only work in the street. I also work in restaurants and cafés to attract customers. I sit at a table like a customer or stand like a waiter. I work at birthday parties and other special events, too. 4 My job is not boring because I often change my appearance. I’m sometimes a cowboy or a Roman emperor or Charlie Chaplin. Of course I don’t always want to be a street statue. One day I’d like to be a movie actor. Then, at least I can move!
Read the magazine article. Write the number of the paragraph where you can find the following information. a. Adam’s ambition b. Adam’s opinion of his job c. Qualities of a street statue d. Places where a street statue can work e. People’s reactions to a street statue Find words that mean the same in the magazine article. 1. get money working (paragraph 1) 2. in good physical condition (paragraph 1) 3. that make you angry (paragraph 2) 4. clients (paragraph 3) 5. type of king (paragraph 4) 6. film (paragraph 4)
Read again and choose the correct option. 1. Adam works as an actor / a living statue. 2. He thinks his job is easy /difficult. 3. He usually stays in one place / goes to different places. 4. People always / sometimes give him money. 5. He talks / doesn’t talk to people when he is working. 6. He works as a waiter / statue in restaurants. 7. He often / never changes his appearance. 8. He wants to be an actor / a street statue in the future.
