Marina Martin, a young games tester
Most days I finish my homework and then I have to play computer games for the rest of the
afternoon. Yes, I have to! You see, I earn money by looking for mistakes in games.

I've always been crazy about computer games. My dad's a journalist and my mum's a
photographer, so there's been a computer in the house since before I was born. I can remember
playing very simple games on it when I was less than five years old and my dad telling me to
switch it off and go outside.

I was online one day when I saw an advertisement from a video game company. They were
looking for young people to give their opinions about some of their new games. I contacted them
but I wasn't old enough because I was 14.

Three years later, several companies now send me their games. I often spend hours on the same
game. I have to play it from start to finish several times, look at all the menus and try all the
different ways of playing it. While I'm doing this, I take notes and then write a clear email which
the company can understand easily.

Page 5
You have to work quickly because the company often wants to sell their new game as soon as
possible. I may have to spend a lot of the weekend testing. However, I think I'm very lucky that
my hobby has become a job. Most of the time, I love it!

A. her mum became a photographer.
B. her dad bought her a computer.
C. she was a small child.
3. What does the word “it” in the last line in the second paragraph refer to?
A. computer B. house C. game D. company
4. What happened when Marina was 14 years old?
A. She didn’t get a job as a games tester.
B. She found an advertisement for a new video game.
C. She started to use the internet.
5. What does Marina do as part of her job?
A. She teaches other people how to play the game.
B. She makes sure that she wins all the games.

French cooking is famous all over the world. When my English cousins come in summer, they
always want to eat cheese. They say it’s better than any other food, but I don’t agree with them.
In France, we usually have a main course at lunch and dinner with some vegetables or soup. I
don’t really enjoy eating soup or vegetables, but my parents say they’re healthy, so I have them
once a week.
