 The life history of Andrew Scott
Andrew Scott was born in Brighton on 9th June, 1955. His father was a policeman and his mother
was a tax inspector. He started school when he was five and left school when he was 16. In
August 1972 he started to work at a post office in the centre of Brighton. He stayed there for five
years. Then in September 1978 he moved to London. He got a new job at a travel agency not far
from Buckingham Palace. Six months later he met Julie Parker at a party. They fell in love and got
married on 26th April, 1979. Julie was an actress and when she got the chance to work in
America, Andrew abandoned his job and went with her. They stayed in America for eleven years .
During this time, Julie made ten films and was the star of a television series called Two People.
Andrew started writing books and in June 1982 his first book, Brighton Sand, was
published. It sold nearly a million copies. A year later, their first child was born. They
called him David after Andrew’s grandfather. They had two more children while they
were in America – Emily, who was born in 1985 and Simon who was born in 1987.
In March 1991 they moved back to Britain. They lived in Leeds at first, then five years after they
bought a very big house near Brighton. This is where they now live.

Circle the right connectives:
1) Why do onions make us cry?

(Suddenly/Firstly) an onion is a vegetable that grows in the ground (also/and) it

contains vitamins and minerals. We (usually/always) like to slice it or dice it and add
onion to our meals. (But/So) have you ever sliced an onion? It makes your eyes water!

(Although/However), it is not the strong smell of the onion that makes us cry,
(but/because) the gas that the onion releases when we cut this member
of the lily family. The onion itself contains oil, which contains sulphur,
(which/what) is an irritant to both our noses and to our eyes.

(And/So), now we know what the chemical is! (Because/Although) I am

not sure that helps very much when we have to peel or chop onions!

2) Why do skunks stink?

Skunks do not always smell bad and they probably smell sweet to other skunks! They
smell (because of/since) a special fluid which they spray out of their backside.
(However/In addition to) smelling awful, the spray can cause vomiting in
humans and (even/ also) have effects similar to tear gas.
(Unless/because) it has a reason to be afraid, a skunk does not spray
their strong odour. It just raises its tail and stamps its feet (and/so)
for most animals that is enough of a warning!

3) Why do mosquito bites cause so much trouble?

(Actually/probably), male mosquitoes are innocent, (therefore/because) only the

female mosquito feeds on blood. (As soon as/since) she lands on you, she sticks her
beak into your skin and quickly starts sucking out blood.
(Moreover/Although) we (always/never) call them mosquito bites,
it’s not really a bite at all! The problem is that she injects some
of her saliva into your skin and this is an irritant. This
(firstly/eventually) produces an allergic reaction and then it itches
and becomes red and swollen.

4) Do fish sleep?

Well, the answer is: sort of! Fish do sleep, (because/but) it’s not sleep as we know
it (and/because) they don’t have eyelids to close as we do. Some fish just lie on
the bottom of the sea at night and not all of them swim
around all the time; they just rest. (On top of this/Because
of this), in the dark, many fish have a lower rate of
metabolism, (but/so) their body slows down and that is much
like sleep. This has the same effect as a night's sleep has
 on humans. (Because/therefore) the answer is (that/what) fish enter a sleep like
state.

5) Why do people hate wolves?

Do you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood (but/and)

Peter and the Wolf? What adjectives did they give to the
wolf? Think up three adjectives about wolves (and/because) I
bet they are all negative!

Right from being children, we are told that wolves are

frightening creatures (what/that) will attack and eat us.

(Although/ However), in reality, wolves are shy around people

and (rarely/always) harm them. Wolves survive by hunting and eating wild animals.
(Always/Sometimes) wolves can't find enough deer, or rabbits; their natural prey.
(After/Then), wolves may attack sheep, cattle, and other farm animals.

(Happily/Sadly), old tales about wolves have turned us against wolves. (Although/As a
result), today many wolf packs have disappeared. Wolves are noble, loyal animals (and
so/because) we should protect them.

6) Why do cats’ eyes gleam at night?

Cats and many other creatures that are hunters at night appear to have shiny eyes
(because/although) the back of their eyeballs has got a special layer (who/which)
reflects light called the tapetum lucidum. This helps animals to
see better in low light (so/as) it works like a mirror on the retina
to reflect the light back through the eyes. This gives them a
second chance to absorb the light. (Therefore/since) colours seem
more visible at night (but/because) the pupils are more widely opened than during the
day.

What can you remember about the content?

1) Why do onions make us cry?

2) Why do skunks smell bad?

3) Why do mosquito bites swell up?

4) Do fish sleep?

5) Are wolves evil creatures?

6) Why do cats’ eyes gleam in the dark?
