the “Fringe”, where students do comedy shows in small halls and cafés.
Tens of thousands of tourists come to the Festival to see new films and plays and hear music
played by famous musicians. This year, you can see over five hundred performances with actors from
more than forty countries.
The tickets for these performances are quite cheap and it is usually easier to see your favourite

BILL PRINCE-SMITH
Bill Prince-Smith was a farmer and a teacher and a dentist before he became a writer of
children‟s books at the age of 60. Now, thirteen years later, he has written more than 80 books. Every
day, he goes into his office and writes. In the evening, he gives the work to his wife to read. “She tells
me when she doesn‟t like something,” says Bill. “My ten grandchildren don‟t live near here but they
also read my stories and say if they are good or bad”. And so Bill has learned what young children
want to read.
Bill writes about the life in his village and on the farms near it. His fifth book is his favourite:
The Sheepdog is about a farmer and the dog that helps him. “I have always liked animals,” says Bill,
“and dogs are so clever, they learn very quickly.”
Last year, the book was made into a film with real animals and actors. The film-makers used
the latest computer technology to make people think that the animals are speaking. Bill was very
pleased with the film. “Sometimes film-makers change books, but they didn‟t change mine and I love
the film.”

John Pickering
In a park in a small town in central England, John Pickering cuts the grass and waters the
flowers. But all last week he was in Tokyo and millions of Japanese people watched the thirty-five-
years-old gardener on television because John is the number one singer in Japan at the moment. John
visited Japan a few months ago to sing in dance clubs in Osaka and Nagoya. A disc jockey heard his
songs and played them on his radio show. Hundreds of young people phoned the radio and asked the
disc jockey to play the songs once more.
John, who uses the name Jon Otis when he sings in Japan, is not going to stop working in the
park in England. He does not know yet how much he will earn from his music. “I must keep my job in
the park” he says. “I still have to pay my bills!” The other gardeners do not know that he is famous in
Japan. They‟ve never even heard him sing.

A Great idea!
Frazer and Peter are two 14-year-old boys who up grew in the same small Canadian town. They
have always been friends and classmates. Like all their other friends, they enjoy going fishing or
swimming at weekends. But for the last few months, they‟ve spent every weekend in Peter‟s room
working on his laptop. This isn‟t because they have a lot of homework. They have made a new
computer word game.
The idea for the game came from Frazer‟s little brother, Kevin, who had problems with his
reading. Kevin learns words more easily by seeing pictures and hearing information than he does by
reading. His brother wanted to help. Frazer and Peter worked together for over 200 hours to make a
computer game and now it‟s ready to use. It‟s a speaking and picture game. For example, if you look
at the word “hat”, there is a drawing of a hat next to it and you can hear Peter saying “ Hat! Hat!” at
the same time.
The two boys have won a lot of prizes for their computer game and it will soon be sale around
the world. Many schools are interested in buying it.

wonderful things that happened in each country.” Nick has travelled to many places but there are a few

day” he says.
On each trip, Nick travels with a team of people. They bring the cameras and other filming
equipment needed to make programme. Nick doesn‟t take a lot of things for himself, just a few shirts
