JENNY EVANS, THE ANIMAL WOMAN
Jenny Evans has worked with animals all her life. She started collecting srnall animals as
pets while she was still at primary school. When she was 15, her local youth club invited her to
bring a selection of thern along to a meeting and tell mernbers about them, in return lbr a small
fee. After the success of the firsttalk, Jenny found herself in demand frorn othcr organizations.
The money that she earned went towards food and other supplies for her animals.

Jcnny

lell schooi at i6 to stuily at drama college, but continued to present her anirnal

tallohilclrer-i's holid;iy camp, whcre she had to entertain children for 12 hours a day, six days a week'
By the end ol'the six month sulnrner season, Jenny was an experienced performer and had
developed a wide range of acts tirat involved magic, jokes, singing and dancing. Jenny included
these in her anitnal talks which she continued to give whenever she was free.

was while Jenny was presenting one of these talks that she was approached by a
prodltcer to be a guest on a children's television programme. On the strength of this one
upp.oru,lre, .lenny was offered her own daily anirnal show, called "Parils", which she wrote and

It

preseflted.
Jenny main airn had always been to inform and educate her audience. After two years of
presenting "Paws", Jenny made the decision to give up her screen career in order to concentrate
on colnllunicating her knowledge and love of animals to children in a different way. She started
offering lectures to schools, based on the national science curriculum. Using her own animals,
she shows her audience a wide range of creatures, frorn insects and water creatures like frogs, to
birds and mammals such as mice. By watching and handling the animals, the children and their
teachers are able to understand how they have developed and how they behave. These lectures
have becolre so popular that Jenny now employs David, a former zookeeper and expert in
animal care, as a second lecturer. Between them they lecture in schools across the whole of
souttrrern England.

Meanwhile, as well as a large aviar! where the birds can fly around, Jenny's mini-zoo at
her home contains all the animals she uses in her talks, including several rare types of animals.
At the rnoment, her favorites are solne young meerkats frorn Southem Africa, which she is
feeding and bringing up by hand. No doubt they will appear in one of her talks very soon.

C or D for cactr of the qucstions 21-26

TOKYO
'l'okyo is Japan's largest city and its capital. When people talk about Tokyo, they may be
refering to 'I-okyo Metropolis, whicl'r has a population of about 12.5 million. This includes the 23
city wards formerly known as Tokyo City (with a population of about 8.5 million), some small
islands and the Tama area, which is made tp of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. Tokyo is one of
Japan's 47 local government areas or prefectures, but it is called a metropolis rather than a

million. Tokyo is situated on the largest Japanese island, I-Ionshu.
Tokyo was once a small castle town called Edo. At that titne, Japan's capital city, wher
the Emperor of Japan lived, was Kyoto. In 1868 the emperor rnoved to Edo, which was reflorl]e'
Tokyo and became the new capital city. The city grew in size as well as importance, bu

think that, due to this focus on business, a tourist in Tokyo wouldn't find rnuch of interest but,
with London, this would be untrue.
Visitors should definitely go to the Tokyo National Museum, which specialises in Japa
Art, the National Museum of Western Art, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (Which hz
,roi. than 10,000 fi1ns, both Japanese and foreign) and the National Museum of Science, z
well as the city's zoo. All of them can be found in Ueno Park. As Tolcyo is the national centl
drar
for the perfonning arts, you also have the chance to take in a show of traditional Japanese
such as noh or kabuki.
If you happen to be in Tokyo on the last Saturday in May, you'11 be able to see the annu
