Leopards live in many part of the world, from Siberia to Africa. They have a very beautiful yellow skin with large black spot. They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals such as young zebras, monkeys and deer. They sleep for about 12 hours a day. Leopards are very solitary animals. They spend most of their time alone in trees. They wait until a small animal passes. They jump on the animal and then pull it up into the tree.They eat it there.

We can not find many leopards now because people kill them. People kill them because their fur is beautiful and very expensive.

“Because people kill them”

The word THEM refers to….

• people

• small animals

• leopards

• mammals

Jennifer Lopes (or J.Lo) is a highly successful actress, singer, and dancer. Her new films and new albums usually go straight to the top.

What’s a typical working day for her? Making a film is a hard work. She usually gets up at half past five in the morning and she’s always on the film set at half past six. She never drinks coffee and she always has a light lunch of just green salad. She doesn’t like working up late at nights. She is usually in bed half past ten. If she stays out late, she will be too tired in the next morning.

Adam Shankman, a director of one of her films, says ”J.Lo is actually a quiet person. She doesn’t like going out all the time. She often stays at home on Saturday nights and watches video.

If J.Lo isn’t working on a film or making a record, her life style is very different. When she has got time off, she’s quite happy to go out. She loves New York restaurants. She loves dancing. She sometimes dances until three o’clock in the morning!

J. Lo’s family lives in New York. They were very close family. She sees her parents every weekend and she always phones them if she has a problem. She’s got two older sisters and they get on very well together. They are not just her sisters; they are her best friends.

Charles Dickens is much loved for his great contribution to classic English literature. He was the quintessential Victorian author. His epic stories, vivid characters and exhaustive depiction of contemporary life are unforgettable.

He was born in Portsmouth on 7 February 1812, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. The good fortune of being sent to school at the age of nine was short-lived because his father was imprisoned for bad debt. Charles was sent to work in Warren’s blacking factory and endured appalling conditions as well as loneliness and despair. After three years he was returned to school, but the experience was never forgotten and became fictionalised in two of his better-known novels ‘David Copperfield’ and ‘Great Expectations’.

Like many others, he began his literary career as a journalist. His own father became a reporter and Charles began with the journals ‘The Mirror of Parliament’ and ‘The True Sun’. Then, in 1833, he became parliamentary journalist for The Morning Chronicle. With new contacts in the press he was able to publish a series of sketches under the pseudonym ‘Boz’. In April 1836, he married Catherine Hogarth.

As well as a huge list of novels he published autobiography, edited weekly periodicals including ‘Household Words’ and ‘All Year Round’, wrote travel books and administered charitable organisations. He was also a theatre enthusiast, wrote plays and performed before Queen Victoria in 1851. He died of a stroke in 1870. He is buried at Westminster Abbey.
