The Mountain Rescue Team

Danny Laird lives in Fort William, a small town in Scotland. It’s near Ben Nevis, Scotland’s highest mountain.
At the weekend, he often goes climbing with his older sister or hill walking with his dad. He loves the
mountains, and when he leaves school he’d like to work as a mountain rescue volunteer.
Danny’s father leads the Fort William mountain rescue team, and next weekend he’s going to take Danny and a
group of other young people up into the mountains to learn some basic survival skills. Of course, there aren’t
any shops in the mountains so Danny and his friends will have to take everything they need with them:
sleeping bags, tents, waterproof clothes and food and water.
Danny is really excited about the trip. It will be a great opportunity to learn more about mountain safety and
the job of a mountain rescue volunteer. It won’t be easy, but it will be a lot of fun.
So why does Danny want to work as part of a mountain rescue team? He says ‘It’s a really important job.
When hill walkers have an accident, the mountain rescue team is there to save them. I am very enthusiastic
about becoming part of the team because I know that, one day, I am going to save somebody’s life.’

a) dad b) sister
 2 ____ works as a mountain rescue volunteer.

 Teenage life in Nunavut
Akna lives in a small town in Nunavut in the North of Canada. We asked Akna about her
life as an Inuit teenager.
Do you go to school?
Of course! All Inuit towns and villages have at least one school. We speak English in most
of our lessons, but we also use the Inuit language.
What is your house like?
We live in a family house with three bedrooms. My grandparents live with us. Inuit
people still make igloos to sleep in when they are on hunting trips, but I’ve never slept in
one.
What do you do in your free time?
I like going to the cinema, watching DVDs and surfing the Internet. I love sport, too. My
favourite sport is ice hockey. We’ve got the perfect weather for it!
How do you travel?
There aren’t any roads between many Inuit towns and villages so we don’t have a car. In
fact, I’ve never been in a car in my life! We’ve a snowmobile that we use to travel to local
places. If we want to leave our village, we have to take a plane.
What about food?
My favourite food is pizza, but we don’t have it very often because it’s very expensive.
That’s because all of the food in the supermarket arrives by plane. Our town hasn’t got a
fast food restaurant but one day, I’d like to try a hamburger. I’ve never eaten one!

We asked three teenagers to tell us about their favourite sport and their sporting

achievements.

Tennis has been my favourite sport for a long time. I started playing tennis when I was six.

My parents thought I had talent, so they arranged for me to have lessons after school.

When I was twelve, I entered my first competition. I didn’t win my matches, but I kept

trying. Last year, I became the junior tennis champion for my area. I was amazed – and my

mum and dad were very proud!

team. It’s my job to lead the team and help everyone to play their best. The coach says

that I do my job really well.

Oliver

I didn’t like sport as a young child, but when I was ten, my mum and dad took me on a skiing
