JON Teenagers and people in their 20s, mainly. Most people
who do urban sports want to have fun with their friends and do
something active.

sports. You can jump or skateboard over walls, and cycle down
steps. Every city has these things- and they're free!
REPORTER Do you need any special equipment?
JON Depending on the sport, you need a skateboard, BMX bike or
scooter and a helmet. Parkour is the only urban sport that you can
do without any equipment.
REPORTER What do you wear?
JON We wear jeans or shorts, aT-shirt and trainers!

THE STORY OF THE MOBILE PHONE NOVEL
A few years ago, a 19-year-old Japanese girl started writing a
novel about her life in a small town. She finished it in just three
weeks and gave it the title Dreams Come True. Akiko wasn 't an
experienced writer and didn't expect anyone to be interested in
her tale. Yet when it came out a few months later, the romantic
novel was a great success. It sold over 200,000 copies.
It's an incredible story. The most amazing thing about it,
thaugtl, is the fact that Akiko wrote the no~elon j-rer mobile
phoJ"Ie! As she wrote, she posted It, chapter ey chapter, on a
webs1te where readers coult'l dowolead it immediately. She
worked on it whenever she could -mostly while she was
relaxing at home. She didn't think too much about the story and
she didn't rewrite anything!
Akiko was one of the first of a new generation of novelists in
Japan who write novels as 11 the_y are writing a text message.

guide, who tells you the story of King
Arthur and his exciting life.
The experience is interactive. You don't
just hear about the tale of King Arthur-
you can see and hear his adventures too!
And you might also see a Welsh dragon
... but don't be scared!
Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes
for walking. This attraction is suitable for
all the family. It's lots of fun for children,
teenagers and adults.

The owners of a small Scottish island are looking for a new family

the smallest islands in Scotland. It's only got 16 houses and a
population of 30 people!
Life on the island is quieter than in most places. There aren't many
facilities: there's no post office on the island and there's only one
shop. As for entertainment, tl1ere's one cafe, but it isn't open in the
evenings! Technology lovers might have a problem because there
isn't any electricity between 11am and 5pm. Its location also means

Will the world be very different 20 years from

of life in the future.
1 Many people who ore born in the 2040s will live until
they are 150! That's because there will be vaccines for
most serious diseases, including cancer.
2 Cars will drive themselves! Our cars will take us wherever
we want to go, safely and easily- and we'll be able to
relax and enjoy the ride!
3 Learning a second language won' t be necessary. We'll
be able to buy tiny computers that fit in our ear and

Here's how to make a time capsule. Choose
some everyday things, put them in a box and
leave them in a secret place for someone in
the future to find! The person who finds the
box will learn about what life is like now by
looking at the things.
You will need:
• five to six things ~ a plastic bag
a paper, a pen and • strong lope
some pencils • a permanent marker
• a box pen
! Choose five to six things that show what lite
is like now. Avoid things that need electronic
equipment to work. Don't forget, CD players
and computers will be very different in the
future!

Even if you haven't got lots of money to spend, you can still go shopping!
1 \~~~~~~~;:;:~~~R~ea~d~o;:;,n.:to~find out where to find the best bargains.
Why do people in Britain like shopping in charity shops? First, because of

the low prices, and second, because when you buy something, the money
is used to help people in need. For example, Oxfam, which has shops all
over the UK, works to stop poverty in countries around the world. What
can you find in a charity shop? Used clothes, shoes, books, toys, DVDs
and kitchen equipment. It might take a while to find what you want, but
1t's fun looking!
What do British people do with their old or unwanted possessions? Take

them to a car boot sale! Every Saturday and Sunday, people all over
Britain fill the boot of their car with things they don't want and take
them to one of these sales. Car boot sales attract hundreds of people,
so get there early for the best bargains. You never know what you might
find. Recently, someone bought an old picture frame at a car boot sale
for one pound and later found it was worth £500,000 I
Do you want to get some new clothes without spending any money? The
answer is a swap shop! Swap shops are events where you and other
people can exchange clothes that you don't want. The clothes have to
be good quality and look new. You can then choose clothes of the same
value that other people have brought to the swap shop. Swap shops are
popular with fashionable people who have lots of nice clothes that they
never wear. Swapping clothes is also better for the environment than
buying new ones I

game with my brother. It's called 'Rollerblade
heroes 3' and it's an adventure game. Have you
played it? It's a game for two players and you
have to skate around a city to collect special
coins. It was great fun, ~ but I found it very
difficult because you have to be very fast. We
played it three times and I lost every time. iiiil
I was really annoyed because my brother was
really good! Anyway, I'm going to practise more

Greasy skin
Lots of teenagers have greasy skin and spots because of
hormone changes as they grow. A healthy diet and some
sun can help. (But not too much sun- see below.)
Holidays
Sunburn never looks good! Always use suncream and wear
a hat in the sun. Avoid getting a mosquito bite by wearing
clothes that cover your arms and legs in the evenings. And
if you get a bee sting, put some ice on it to relieve the pain.
