Tony: Yeah I got one for my birthday last month It's great
Rachel: Right My sister always wants to watch lots of cartoons and I'm not really keen on them
Tony: Exactly I used to have the same problem with my little brother Another thing is that people are
always talking in the living room so that even if you can choose the program, you can't hear it properly
Rachel: That's the point, although actually I really like talking about what I'm watching, I don't mind
people being around, as long as I can choose the programs
Rachel: She says it would cost too much, but I don't think that's the real reason, because she said I could
have a bike instead Anyway my Auntie said we could have her old one for next to nothing and my Mum still said no
Tony: When I got mine, my parents were worried that I might watch it late at night and so be too tired for
school in the morning So, I promised them I'd always turn it off before ten o'clock
Rachel: I think my Mum just wants to control what I do, you know, she just wants to be able to say "No
television until you've done your homework", and things like that
Rachel: She thinks I'm still a child I'd like the chance to decide things like that for myself
Tony: My parents never ask about my schoolwork They say it's something I have to do by myself
Rachel: You're lucky

12 Read the passage and choose the best answer
People always ask me why I only travel the hard way A lot of television travel programs are about relaxing holidays on the beach, but we've only ever made documentaries about really long trips The last trip I did was a 50,000-mile journey around the Pacific Ocean and it took 12 months But then my very first trip was a "round the world" journey from the North Pole to the South Pole
As you can imagine, I've seen a lot of the world I'm lucky to be in really excellent health, but life is very short and I've done so much travelling that I want a change Travelling long distances makes you extremely tired and although it's still a great pleasure for me, I want to do something more relaxing now
I think my next television series might be made nearer to England There's some really interesting work going
on in Wales, where they've just found what remains of a 2,000-year-old town Or I might do something about farms in France or even cycling in Holland I hope the programs I've made about the really long trips will encourage other people to get on a plane and have some adventures Some people seem to be afraid of going to a strange country, but maybe they realise now that if I can do these trips, so can they I'm only a very ordinary
Trang 5I must say that until recently I hadn't ever worried about being so far from home even when the children were very small But while I was filming in Borneo last year, my wife had to have an emergency operation and it really frightened me because I couldn't get back to England Fortunately, everything was fine in the end - but I wouldn't want to be so far away if anything like that happened to my family again Perhaps if I spend more time at home I can do more writing I've done two books so far I write about places I've seen and my feelings about them I don't think I'll ever write fiction or poetry, but I'd be interested in writing newspaper articles
1 For his most recent television program, John
A drove from the North Pole to the South Pole B filmed relaxing beach holidays
C went to the Pacific Ocean for a year D told about relaxing holidays on the beach
2 John is giving up long trips because
A he's too old now B he's been everywhere
C his health isn't good any more D they are too tiring
3 John says his next television series might be about
A farms in Scotland B old ruins in Wales
C cycling tours in France D an old town in England
4 John wants to encourage other people to
A be brave about travelling to new places B lose their fear of dying
C make more trips alone D be ordinary people like him
5 Why does John want to spend more time near home?
A His wife misses him B He has very young children

6 John has already written some
A newspaper articles B travel books
C fiction D poems
