Jessica Watson - a hero

On 18th October 2009, 16-year-old Jessica Watson set out to do something no one her age had ever done before - to sail around the world alone without any help. She started her trip in Sydney, Australia, on her ten-meter boat and after seven long months alone at sea she finally ended up back in Sydney Harbour on 15th May 2010. As expected, she got a hero's welcome, with thousands of people there to greet her, including 18-year-old Mike Perham. Perham had sailed around the world the previous year at the age of 17. 

When she was asked why she wanted to make this difficult journey, Jessica simply answered that she wanted to do something to be proud of. But her trip did not end as well as she had hoped. Instead of listing her as the youngest person to ever sail around the world alone, the World Speed Sailing Record Council said she needed to have sailed 2000 nautical miles more than she did to break the world record. After hearing this, Jessica wrote in her blog, 'If I haven't been sailing around the world, then it beats me what I've been doing out here all this time.'

Jessica started and ended her trip from the same city.

Mike Perham broke a world record before Jessica’s attempt.

Jessica’s main goal was to beat the world record.

Jessica failed to receive the world record for the youngest solo circumnavigation.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Playing the drums

Beth Jones was only eight years old when she first tried playing the drums. This was during a lunchtime music club at school, which she only went to because it was cold and rainy. Also, her friends were in the playground playing hockey - a sport that Beth hated. Of all the musical instruments that the teacher had in the music room, the drums were the most interesting to Beth. She thought it was cool that there were many different shapes and sizes of drums and she wanted to hit them, to see what they sounded like.

Now Beth is thirteen and gives concerts around the country. She also has her own YouTube channel and gets over a million hits a year. What's amazing is that Beth hasn't ever been to a drum lesson. "You can learn anything on the internet, so I've never felt it was important for me to take classes," explains Beth. Giving concerts wasn't easy for Beth at the beginning because usually she only played drums alone in her bedroom when she came home from school.

At her first concert, she played in a band with adults. She could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her, and that made her feel frightened. So, does Beth enjoy being famous now? "I didn't plan to be famous," she says. "All I want is to show others what I love. I don't think I'm someone special. I just want everyone to have a great time at my concerts."

Why did Beth go to the music club at her school for the first time?

What made the drums catch Beth's attention?

What do we know about Beth's first concert?
