busted through her front door and told her to get on the ground. “I was too scared to move; I didn’t know what
to think,” Davis said. The man was talking to her when Brutus, her two-year-old Pit Bull, suddenly ran into the
room and stopped right behind him, ready to attack. As the dog growled, the intruder fired his gun multiple times, but luckily
no one was hit. Brutus kept chasing him. Fortunately, the criminal was so scared that he ran away without taking anything.
Family members said Brutus is the reason they’re still alive. “That dog prevented a crime and saved me and my family.
Without Brutus, that guy could have shot us,” says Charlotte, who had rescued the Pit Bull just three months before
the incident. Brutus demonstrated why dogs are man’s best friend: they are always there for the family they love.
Apparently the police have a good idea of who the man is and believe they will catch him soon.

I will never forget the day I was able to ride a bike again. It was the best
thing ever. It felt as if I was free to go anywhere I wanted to (well, at least
anywhere I had enough energy to cycle to and from). To me, success means
being able to ride my bike to work every day. Now that I can do that, I’m in
seventh heaven!

I guess I’m a successful person because even the smallest things make me
happy. For example, I like it when I go to the shopping centre with my friends
and spend the afternoon just window shopping and chatting, or even when I
leave the beauty salon feeling good about myself. That makes my day! Who
says you have to be tall, blonde and slim to be beautiful?

To my mind, being successful isn’t always necessarily about your future life and
career. I know it’s important to have goals, but I also think a successful person is
someone who is happy now with their family, their life, their friends, and mostly
with themselves. At the end of the day, the key to success is all about having the
right attitude, the right mindset. What about you? Are you happy with your life
now or are you waiting to enjoy it someday?

IDIOMS RELATED TO SADNESS
We say someone feels down when they are feeling unhappy or sad.
If somebody cries their eyes out, it means they are extremely sad and cry a lot.
We tell someone it’s not the end of the world to say that a problem is not as
bad as they think / as it looks.

Do you like attending music festivals, Grant?
Sure I do. My favourite is a South African festival called
Oppikoppi. It’s a small event with an audience of about
20,000 people, which is great because…
Sorry to butt in, but what does Oppikoppi mean?
It means “on the hill” in Afrikaans.
Hmm… Is there a story behind the name?
Yes. You see, the venue for the festival is a farm in
the middle of nowhere, and the concerts take place
literally at the foot and on top of a hill there, so the
name kind of stuck.
That’s interesting! What kind of music does it focus
on?
