    FAMOUS FOR FIFTEEN


    Read the text and do the multiple choice.

    Jamie Oliver is Britain’s most famous chef. He made his first TV cooking programmes when he was
    only 23, got married at 25 and was given a special award by the Queen at 28. A top supermarket pays
    to use him in their advertisements, he sells almost as many books as J.K. Rowling and journalists are
    always writing articles about him.
    Jamie has also opened the restaurant Fifteen in London. The name doesn’t describe where the
    restaurant is – it’s because he chose this number of young people to become cooks there. Not one of
    them knew how to cook so Jamie sent them to college in the year before he opened the restaurant.
    They also visited other restaurants to learn more.
    Fifteen really started because of a conversation Jamie had with his wife’s friend. She worked with
    difficult children and found that they always enjoyed cooking, so Jamie decided to start a restaurant
    business to help young people with problems.
    Jamie is at the restaurant five days a week but always spends weekend with his wife and children.
    He says he has never been happier and only wants to go on cooking. He works hard but pays himself
    nothing, because all the money is used to train new students every six months. Today, 85 people work
    at Fifteen, many more than when it first opened. The restaurant is always full and Jamie has four
    receptionists answer more than 300 phones calls a day from customers wanting to book at table!
