Zeki Basan: life in the wild
When Zeki Basan was 16, he lived in a tent for almost a year on the island of Skye in Scotland. It can seem unusual for someone to live like that, especially if you are a teenager, but it wasn't for him. He was on a course at the School of Adventure Studies, and thought it was good to learn how to live away from the city while he was studying. The fact that some of his best memories were of growing up in the mountains in the Highlands with his mother and sister probably helped him make this decision. They used to live far away from any towns and even had to use cross-country skis to take food there every winter.
What is this paragraph about?
the advantages and disadvantages of living
in a tent
the two locations where Zeki lived
why Zeki moved to live away from his family
why the way Zeki lived at the time was
natural for him
Zeki Basan: life in the wild
Zeki's mother taught him and his sister how to live close to nature when they were young. So Zeki was comfortable playing and exploring in nature. They also travelled to lots of places abroad, so that his mother, a cookery writer, could learn about traditional ways of making food. He saw how people were able to use the land and natural products, and he also wanted to do that one day.
Why did Zeki decide to live in the tent?
He disliked going abroad so often.
He wanted to develop particular skills.
He didn't like his family home.
He couldn't find a place to build a house.
Zeki Basan: life in the wild
Zeki experienced a few difficult situations while he was learning how to live alone in the tent. Once he was in the mountains when the weather got really bad while he was hiking. It was impossible to see very far in front of him, but he knew to stay calm and not panic. That ability was also really useful when he was on a camping trip with his classmates and the weather was horrible. Some people were extremely tired and anxious and had to leave, but it wasn't a problem for him.
How did Zeki react to the difficult situations he was in?
He was relaxed and didn't feel worried.
He found it difficult not to feel stressed.
He felt impatient and a little angry.
He needed to feel more confident about himself.
