5.- Reading. What do children think of the world?

A promotional company in the UK has sponsored a National Kids’ Day for the last three years. One of the
organisers said that they wanted to give children under the age of ten the chance to give their opinions.
She explained that that particular age group had definite ideas about how to improve the world, but their
thoughts were rarely heard. Children who want to take part fill in a questionnaire online or at school.
Almost 1,500 children did that in 2006 and here are some of the findings.
When we asked what the best thing in the world was, the top answer was being a celebrity. Being healthy
came fourth, after being good-looking and being rich, which were the second and third most popular
answers.
The survey also asked the children who the most famous person in the world was. Most thought that God
was the most famous and that Barack Obama was the second most famous. Jesus was number four and
Father Christmas was number five.
When the survey asked them about the worst things in the world, they said that killing and wars were the
worst. Also on their list of the worst things were bullies, illness, smoking, stealing, divorce and being fat.
The survey asked them what laws they would make if they were king or queen. They said that they
would ban knives and guns. They also said that they would stop fighting and killing, telling lies, drugs,
bullying, too much alcohol, and smoking.
The survey asked the children which was the best day of the week. Not surprisingly almost everyone
answered that it was Saturday. Some things don’t change!
a) Find words or expressions in the text which mean the same as the following (5 ):

- not often: …RARELY - a famous person: …CELEBRITY

- to participate: …TAKE PART - prohibit: …BAN
- results: …FINDINGS

b) Read the text again. Answer the questions as fully as possible (20 ):

1 Can all children in Britain fill in the questionnaire? Why? / Why not?

NO, ONLY CHILDREN WHO ARE YOUNGER THAN TEN CAN FILL IN THE
QUESTIONNAIRE.

2 Why does the company want their opinions?

BECAUSE THESE CHILDREN HAVE VERY CLEAR IDEAS, BUT THEY ARE
ALMOST NEVER HEARD.

3 Can the questionnaire be completed at home? How?

YES, IT CAN BE COMPLETED ONLINE FROM HOME.

4 Do children think health is more important than money? Explain your answer.

NO, THEY DON’T. BEING RICH WAS THEIR THIRD MOST POPULAR ANSWER.
BEING HEALTHY WAS THEIR FOURTH.

5 Which question did most children give the same answer to? What was it?

MOST OF THEM GAVE THE SAME ANSWER WHEN THEY WERE ASKED WHAT
THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK WAS, AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SATURDAY.
