What kind of school has got both animals and people as students?
Hollywood Animals does. It's a wild animal training school outside of
Los Angeles, California. At this unique school students learn to train
exotic animals of 011 kinds.
Students work with tigers, bears, lions, chimpanzees and other exotic
animals. First, they learn 011 about the animals and their behaviour.
Then, they learn how to care for the animals by feeding and cleaning
them every day. Finally, they have to study animal training methods and
work with teachers to train the animals.
At Hollywood Animals, they train animals to be performers, for example,
to be in circuses or zoos. But most of the animals here are really
"Hollywood" animals. They work in films and on television. Students start
by teaching the animals simple instructions, like sit down, stand up, or
walk. When the animals are more experienced they learn to do all kinds
of amazing things. The tigers can run, jump and even fight when their
trainer tells them to. And the clever chimpanzees can even look happy,
sad or nervous for the camera!
Although working with exotic animals is very exciting, it is also very hard
work. Students work long days at the animal centre. And even training
the animals isn't always fun . First, there are lots of rules about safety
that the students have to follow. Then, they have to be very patient as
training animals takes time and practice.
Many different types of people come from 011 over the world to study at
Hollywood Animals. The students don't need a degree or any special
education to study here. Some experience working with animals is
helpful, but the most important thing is to really love exotic animals.
People take the course because they want to find a job working closely
with animals. Some students become animal trainers for film and TV.
Many others use their new skills to get jobs in zoos, aquariums, or
circuses. But whatever they do after the course, one thing is sure. Students
never forget their experience at Hollywood Animals school.

 Reading Task (multiple choice)
Read the text. In each question (1-6) choose
the right answer A, B, Cor D.

TerrifYing and merciless -are the words to describe this most

famous English pirate. Blackbeard was a large, tall man and he
carried two swords, lots of guns and kni ves. His real name was
Edward Teac h, but he got his pirate name fi'om the long black
beard which covered most of his face. Ships all over the
Caribbean Sea feared an attack by Blackbeard and his crew.
Teach began his career on the high seas at an early age
when he sailed in tile English Navy in the War of tl,e
Spanish Succession ( 1702-1 713). After the war he joined
the crew of the Pirate Homigold. In 1717, they captured a
French ship that Homigold later gave to Teach. Teach took
control of this ship which he named 'The Queen Anne's
Revenge' . This was the fi rst of many ships that he commanded,
and it began his reputation as a terri fYing and dangerous pirate.
Over the next year, Blackbeard and his crew captured more than 50
ships. They often leamed a ship's nationality and then raised that
country's flag in order to appear fi-i endly. Thi s allowed Blackbeard's ship to get close to the other ship. The pirates then
raised Blackbeard 's flag and attacked tile ship. They went on board the ship and stole treasure and goods.
Blackbeard's li fe came to an end when the Royal British Navy sent Lieute nant Maynard after Blackbeard in November,
1718. Maynard found Blackbeard and his crew in small harbour in North Carolina. The pirates and Maynard 's crew
fought each other. [n the battle, Maynard shot and killed Blackbeard. Aftelwards, Maynard searched for Blackbeard 's
treasure, but was unable fi nd it. When Blackbeard died so did the secret of his treasure which remains a mystery to this
day.

B was of medium height. B not showing any flag at all.
C was a frightening man . C stealing the other ship's flag .
D had ships all over the Caribbean . D showing the same flag as the other ship.

Just like food is difierent from l
country to countrY so are
table manners. Before You
travel to another countrY
there are a few things
1lou
should know about mealtimes
around the world.
At a table in England, it's rude to lick your fingers or
your knife. You need to be careful when eating soup'
bon't slurp or make noise while eating it. lt is also
impolite to starl eating before your host has served
everyone at the table. Try not to put your elbows on the
tabl and, finally, don't take food from your neighbou/s
plate.
in France it is important to always say 'please' and
'thank you' to people serving at the table. When eating
bread, break off a piece with your fingers rather than
use a knife. When you are at a restaurant and haven't
finished your food make sure you don't leave your fork
and knife on your plate as this is a signal for the waiter
to take your Plate.
For mot meals in SaudiArabia people sit on the floor
contact/
or at a low table with cushions. Remember to cross
your legs when you sit. Eat only with your right hand
becaus most Saudi Arabians think the left hand is not
clean. lt is polite to try all of the food that the host
serves. Saudi Arabians usually don't say much when
they eat as they really want to enjoy the food' Finally, it
is ot<ay to burp after a meal as it tells the host that you
liked the food.
1 English people wait for their host to finish
serving before they start their meal.
2 ln England, it is acceptable to eat from
someone else's dish.
French people use knives to cut their
bread.
ln France, waiters take your plate when
they see your fork and knife on it.
People in Saudi Arabia sit on a chair to
have a meal.
The Saudi Arabians talk a lot during
mealtime.

m We are a student conservation group that works to protect wildlife locally and globally. Every
day, more and more species, like the brown bear, the African elephant and the cheetah, become
endangered. As a group, we work on different projects that protect our wonderfulwildlife.

ETI One of our goals is to get local people to join. We organise events with schools and
other local organisations to raise money for the conservation of different nature parks.

t Through our conservation work and events, our members never stop learning about
wildlife. We attend wildlife talks with animal expefts and take smalltrips to forests and mountains
as part of our efforl to stay in touch with the latest information on conservation issues. One of our
most impoftant activities is the improvement of our area by planting more trees and gardens and
cleaning up parks and nature areas.

m Teaching people to respect nature is our main goal. Through our events and
lks, people learn about the importance of wildlife, We also send out a lot of
and visit schools to present the problems wildlife faces today.

Right now, we are working with other conservation groups to create a

nature park in East Oxford. lt's a park that provides a safe place for wildlife to grow
develop. We organise work days in the park where our members help develop
and clean up an area of the park. We are proud that we have created such a
valuable area.

Here at the Oxford Student Wildlife Group, we want to make positive

changes in the world, We love nature and want to protect it, We are always happy to
have new members. So, take a friend and come and check us out!
