WHAT I WAS LIKE IN HIGHSCHOOL Actress GWYNETH PALTROW 1 I went to Spence, an all-girls private 4 In my school in New York City. For years I had to wear a uniform. I had two grey skirts – a kilt and an A-line. Of course I rolled them up, but you could not change the boring colour. 2 On top of that, I was skinny and had braces for my teeth and a bad hair-cut. My mother would always tell me how beautiful I was, but I wasn’t. I was uncertain all the time and boys didn’t like me. 3 There was this one girl Lisa who did terrible things to me. She was the head of the class. Sometimes we would be friends and sometimes she would be like, “I have the power over you”. She used to get other classmates to call me and tell me the popular boys (from other schools) wanted to go out with me. But it was all a lie.

I was a teenmum – to a lion! When a lion cub 1) was not accepted by its mother, 19-year-old Kate stepped in to lend a hand… 1 My love for animals began eight years ago, when I got a Saturday job at Dartmoor Wildlife Park. When I reached 16, I was sure I wanted to work with wildlife and went to college to do a National Diploma in Animal Care. After my studies, the Wildlife Park took me on full-time. I was thrilled! 2 Floyd My favourite animals were wild cats like pumas, jaguars, tigers and lions. On August 25 last year, Peggy, a lioness I was looking after, gave birth to three 4 cubs. She didn’t look after them and two of them died. There was only one cub left, which was named Floyd. He came to live with me because I had an apartment in the park. At first, he had to be bottle-fed, every two hours – day and night. I had to set my alarm to go off regularly, dragging myself out of bed no matter what time it was. After two weeks, I was feeling like a zombie. 3 More attention Floyd needed more attention than a 5 baby. If I turned my back, he would be eating the carpet or chewing on shoes! And because lions like to have their own territories, Floyd thought that things like my slippers were his property, not mine. Floyd’s claws! Looking after Floyd meant I had no social life any more! I couldn’t go out, and because I was so tired, I was often unreasonable to my boyfriend. again for sure! noot 1 welp, jong leeuwtje

1 Kent Police have insisted that they are tackling the problem of youths causing trouble when riding motorbikes, scooters and quad bikes. Their explanation follows the start of a campaign called 'Operation Inact' which is meant to deal with this problem. Member of Parliament Anne Jobson started it after she had 'numerous complaints' over the issue. 2 Anne also said that children had been spotted riding bikes without crash helmets on main roads. "There will be a serious accident unless something is done. Nobody wants to stop children having fun, but riding on the roads and pavements without a crash helmet is just plain dangerous. I would ask that action is taken against parents who allow their children onto the public highway without a licence, insurance or crash helmet." 3 But the police say they are aware of the issue and have already taken steps to do something about it. Cathy Sigrist, spokeswoman for Kent Police, said 25 vehicles were seized in the last year and 42 offenders were given fines, as part of the new campaign. "We do have a scheme in Kent and we are constantly looking into the problem," she assured.

1) Beckham stars in tsunami advert 1 David Beckham has been taking some time off. He wants to help UNICEF send aid to the victims of the tsunami in south east Asia. He visited a UNICEF warehouse in Denmark and filmed a special TV advert for the United Nations Children's Charity to try and raise more money. The England captain admits that the visit to Denmark made him realise what aid money is spent on. 2 UNICEF is hoping to raise $143 million to help the 1.5 million children affected by the disaster. They are sending special teaching packages to the region to help children whose schools have been destroyed. 3 Beckham's work for the charity will have a special programme which promotes the power of sport to improve the lives of children affected by poverty and disease. This programme has a sport-in-a-box kit which provides material for 40 children to take part in team sport as a therapy for the tsunami children. noot 1 vloedgolf die ontstaat na een zeebeving
