First, we made some hamburgers and ate them, and then, we went for a swim in the swimming pool. After that, we went inside in order to listen to some music. We were having a great time when suddenly I heard a strange noise from the garden. When I looked out of the window I saw the barbecue was on fire! I ran into the garden at once. Because the fire wasn’t very big, I managed to put it out with water from the garden hose.

Ranulph Fiennes is a modern-day explorer who loves living dangerously. Born in 1944, he lived the first few years of his life in South Africa. When he was 10, he went to school in England where his favourite hobby was climbing onto the roof of tall buildings at night. Fiennes later became an explorer and adventurer. He travelled up the White Nile in a hovercraft, parachuted onto the world’s highest glacier in Norway, and canoed along 4,000 miles of river water in Canada and Alaska. In 1979 he began the Transglobe Expedition, a journey around the world via the North and South Poles. In 1982, he and Charlie Burton became the first men to reach both Poles overland. More recently,

Fiennes’ adventures have involved him in some horrific accidents. On a training course in the Brunei jungle, he fell down a hill covered with thorn bushes and stopped only when part of his ear caught on a thorn. He cut the bush in order to get free, but half his ear came away and it started to bleed heavily. Back at camp, a friend offered to sew the ear back on but Fiennes decided to put band-aids on the ear instead and took a lot of penicillin to stop infection. He then continued the course as if nothing had happened!

On another occasion, Fiennes was trying to get to the North Pole across areas of unstable, breaking ice. He was some distance from the other men in the team. Suddenly the ice cracked and Fiennes found himself up to his neck in freezing water. He shouted for help but no one heard him. Every time he tried to crawl out onto the ice, he fell back in again. He began to panic. Just when he thought he was going to die he managed to pull himself out. He kept walking until a member of the team arrived and quickly cut off his clothes, boots and gloves. Fiennes knew he was lucky to be alive. As he says, few people go for a swim in the Arctic Ocean and survive to tell the tale! thorn bush: a small tree with sharp points

YOUR POWER

YOUR POWER is a highly innovative method for teenagers. It provides learning and skills strategies to achieve true communicative ability. At the same time, it guarantees in-depth coverage of grammar, vocabulary and exam preparation thanks to its wealth of resources, and ensures effective language acquisition through constant recycling. YOUR POWER guarantees a prestigious level of linguistic and communicative competences. YOUR POWER has been reviewed and tested by hundreds of teachers and students in order to ensure that it reflects the quickly changing reality of teenage classes.
