MEET the
SMITHS
(an average
British family)
There are 62 million people in the UK, and there are 17 million
families. Let’s meet an average UK family, David and Susan
Smith, and their two children, Jack and Emily. They eat the
most common food in the UK, they get up at the most common
time, and they even have the most common names. But there’s
one unusual thing about them - they don’t exist!
The family wakes up at
Dr Who, a popular time-
6.57am. Both David and
Susan work, and they go
travelling Science Fiction
character. The whole family
goes to bed at 10.39pm.
to work by car. Susan usually
leaves work first. They have
dinner at 5.54pm. They are
all very busy, so they only
eat together three evenings
a week. What’s for dinner?
Well, they eat spaghetti
bolognaise on Monday,
chicken pie on Wednesday
and often have take-away
fish and chips on Friday.
They spend £88 a week in
the supermarket, but they
throw away 15% of their
food. In the evening, each
person watches TV for over
two hours. The family’s
favourite programme is
Jack and Emily go online for
1.5 hours a day and spend £12
on their mobile phones each
month. They enjoy sport - Jack
plays football, and Emily’s
favourite sport is netball. The
Smiths occasionally go out as
a family (once a month), and
they spend £15 a week on
computer games, DVDs and
the cinema. They have two
holidays each year, usually
in the UK. The Smiths say
that they're happy, but they
sometimes have arguments
(about twice a week)!

I I’m a skateboarder.

- risk and skill. In skateboarding, there
- are no teams and no rules. You’re on
your own. And that’s why | love it!

@—/ \Ne don’t need expensive

the right gear — T-shirts, hoodies,
skater shoes and skateboarding
jeans. | always wear protection too.
Knee pads, elbow pads and my
helmet, of course. Skateboarding
isn’t really dangerous, but accidents
sometimes happen. But | think | look
cool!
4
A skateboarder needs
balance, courage and discipline.
Skateboarding is like any skill —
playing the piano or speaking a
foreign language — you need to
practise. So while lots of kids are
watching TV at home, I’m training at
the skate park.
