Have a hug!
A Have you ever felt lonely? Most of us have. It is easy to think that unless we are surrounded by friends and family something is
wrong with us. It is important to understand that being alone is not the same as being lonely. In fact, it can give your mind the
chance to really zone out and be selfish for a while.
B However, loneliness is a real problem in our society. Being lonely can be compared to being hungry. Hunger is the body telling
you that you need food. Loneliness is the mind telling you that you need some meaningful social interaction.
C There are many reasons why people feel lonely. For example, if you break up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, you may start to
feel lonely. Even when we are with people we can feel lonely – sometimes, being in a group of people who don’t share your
interests, point of view or sense of humour can be the loneliest place on Earth.

made a sign that said ‘Free hugs’. Amazingly, a lady came up to him and said her dog had died that morning and could she
please have a hug. After that, Juan Mann started the Free Hugs campaign. The idea is that random people go out and offer free
hugs to strangers in an attempt to make people feel less lonely.
E In response to this worldwide problem of loneliness, Free Hugs campaigners have appeared around the globe. In 2015 and
2016, the Free Hugs Vienna team appeared at the Eurovision song contest promoting tolerance and unity.

Have a hug!
A Have you ever felt lonely? Most of us have. After all, we are social animals. It is easy to think that unless we are surrounded 24/7 by
friends and family something is wrong with us. It is important to understand that being alone is not the same as being lonely. In fact,
being alone can give your mind the chance to really zone out and be selfish for a while.
B However, loneliness is a real problem in our society. Being lonely can be compared to being hungry. Hunger is the body telling you that
you need food. Loneliness is the mind telling you that you need some meaningful social interaction.
C There are many reasons why people feel lonely, for example moving to a new school or town, going away to university, an older brother
or sister leaving home, or breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend. Even when we are with people we can feel lonely – sometimes,
being in a group of people who don’t share your interests, point of view or sense of humour can be the loneliest place on Earth. We also
live in a generation where there is constant stimulation. This makes us feel that we are not alone and therefore should not feel lonely.
D Juan Mann understands what loneliness is. A few years ago, he landed at Sydney airport in Australia after living in London for many
years. He was returning home to Australia because of problems in the UK, but when he landed he realized he had no home to go to and
no friends or family to meet him. He watched other passengers being met by their friends and family and was overwhelmed by a feeling

of loneliness. All he wanted was a hug. So, he made a sign that said ‘Free hugs’. Amazingly, fifteen minutes later a lady came up to him
and said her dog had died that morning and could she please have a hug. After that, Juan Mann started the Free Hugs campaign. The
idea is that random people go out and offer free hugs to strangers in an attempt to make people feel less lonely.
E In response to this worldwide problem of loneliness, Free Hugs campaigners have appeared around the globe in countries such as the
USA, Singapore, Belgium, the UK, Norway and Canada. In September 2012, a Polish traveller, Maksym Skorubski went on a trip which
he called Hugs Around the World in 80 Days. He hugged over 6,000 people in 19 different countries. In 2015 and 2016, the Free Hugs

Vlogging
A A vlog is a video blog that other people watch online. Anyone can vlog – all you need is a camera, an internet connection
and a topic. But have you ever considered vlogging as a career? Some people vlog as a job.
B Top vloggers who have lots and lots of followers can earn thousands of euros a month. A vlogger can mention a product
or a place – for example, a restaurant – and people who follow the vlog might buy the product or visit the place. This
means that advertisers will pay successful vloggers good money to advertise, or mention, their products, in just the
same way that a sportswear company such as Nike will pay a footballer to have their logo on his or her football shirt. This
is called endorsement. Jane, a digital marketing specialist, explains that when a vlogger endorses a product, it makes it

YouTube channels. But what do vloggers vlog about? According to one YouTube director, you can vlog about anything,

or you might even have a vlog channel yourself; all you need is a camera, an internet connection and a topic. But have you
ever considered vlogging as a career? Some people vlog as a job.
B Top vloggers can earn thousands of euros a month just for mentioning certain products on their vlogs. A vlogger who has
a lot of followers can mention a product or a place – for example, a restaurant – and people who follow the vlog might
buy the product or visit the place. This means that advertisers will pay successful vloggers good money to advertise,

Now he is a very successful vlogger and has over 7 million followers.

P So you wanted to?
DM Oh yeah! I thought it’d be a good laugh, but it meant
staying with just my family for six weeks. We do get on
well, but it was a bit of a challenge!
P I can imagine! So how long did the project take?
DM Uhhhh, the whole thing took over three months

to learn the practical skills we needed to survive.

P Did the training prepare you enough for teaching in
