Ambitions

!)My name’s Tilda. I want to be an actress. I’ve — I been in some plays at the theatre. Last year, I was in our school play. I haven’t been on TV or in a film, but I’d love to. My favourite actress is Keira Knightley. I’ve seen nearly all her films. She became famous when she was very young, but she hasn’t done anything silly like taking drugs and things like that. When she w as only seventeen, she starred in the film Bend It Like Beckham. Since then, she’s been in lots of films. My favourites are the Pirates of the Caribbean films with Johnny Depp. I like him, too! She’s also done a lot of work for charities, like Water Aid. This charity helps to bring clean water to poor people in Africa. She’s given some of her own money to charities, too.

2) My name’s Brett. I want to be a Formula One driver. I’ve driven a go-kart lots of times, an d I’m pretty good at it. I’ve won several races. Last week, I was in the County Championship. I didn’t win it, because my car broke down. My hero is Sebastian Vettel. He started go-karting when he was only eight years old. Then he moved up to bigger and bigger cars, and in 2007 he became a Formula One driver. Since then, he’s won lots of races and in 2010, he became the youngest driver to win the Formula One World Championship. I haven’t seen a real Grand Prix, because I don’t live near a racetrack. I’ve only watched them on TV, but I’d love to go to one and meet Sebastian Vettel.
