A life of challenge
Ellen MacArthur is an inspiring British sportswoman. On 7
February 2005, she broke the world record for sailing alone around
the world. She recorded her amazing journey through the world’s
most dangerous seas with a video diary, surviving Cape Horn in
South America. And she immediately became internationally famous.
The following year, a Frenchman called Francis Joyon made the same voyage and he was faster
than her by two weeks.
Ellen was born in Derbyshire, England in 1976 and lived there with her parents, who were both teachers,
and her two brothers. She began sailing with her aunt Thea when she was just four years old, and spent
the rest of her time reading books about sailing.
When she was eight, she started to save her school dinner money to buy her first boat. She was
eleven when she had enough money to buy it. When she was seventeen, Ellen bought another boat and
named it ‘Iduna’. In 1995 she sailed it on her own around Great Britain.
In 2009 she announced that she was going to stop sailing, and a year later she donated
£500,000 of her own money to create a charity called the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. The charity works
through business and education to inspire young people to think differently about the future. For exam-
ple, she wants to help the next generation to design different ways of reusing energy and to get more
people using renewable energy. This is part of a bigger concept called circular economy that we can ap-
ply to any other human activity.
By 2050, Ellen says there will be more plastic than fish in the sea, and she wants her charity to
do something about this. Ellen says that changing people’s attitudes to the way they use things and
throw them away is still the greatest challenge of her life.

0. In 2005 Ellen MacArthur broke the world record for sailing around Britain on her own. ___
1. In 2006, Joyon did better than MacArthur. ___
2. Ellen’s first experience of sailing was with her parents. ___
3. It took Ellen seventeen years to save enough money to buy her first boat. ___
4. She created a charity for people to learn eco-friendly habits. ___
5. The charity’s work principle is circular economy. ___
6. Ellen’s greatest challenge is the amount of plastic. ___
