Text 1: 15-year-old Jack Stamford runs in the woods with a special gun, mask andgloves. Suddenly, orange paint hits him. No, he isn't in an action movie. He's a tournament paintballer!
So, what's paintballing exactly? Well, every week, Jack travels to a big field, building
wood and takes part in a fantasy game.
One week he's a spy, the next he's a 'Tomb Raider' adventurer. His team thinks of a
plan, then they try to shoot their enemy with big balls of paint Jack hides behind props
but rarely stays still. Sometimes, the games last two hours, sometimes two days! Jack
loves his hobby. But how often does a paintball hit him?
"A lot," he says. "It hurts... but I forget it quickly!"
Text 2: Many teens play video games to relax in their free time, but for 14-year-old Ale
Jacobs 'gaming' is a serious hobby! What's serious about it, then?
Well, Alex competes with gamers all over the world in online tournaments. Fans also
watch him play online. He has got hundreds of followers on YouTube! His favourite
game is Call of Duty.
**Some people say to me, “Why do you waste your life on video games?'”Alex says.
Fortunately, his friends and family support him. They often travel to watch him play in
tournaments. So how often does Alex get out and do other things?
"Well, I go out with my friends and play in my school basketball team," he says "so I
haven't got square eyes!"

The universe is huge. Scientists say it continues to expand.Eight planets revolve around the Sun, including our Earth. The moon is a satellite of the earth. Previously nine objects were considered planets. But in 2006 scientists decided that Pluto did not meet the definition of a planet. It is now considered a dwarf planet.No one knows for sure if there are habitable planets like Earth somewhere in the universe. So far, we can only guess.

Вселенная огромна. Ученые говорят, что она продолжает расширяться. Вокруг Солнца вращаются 8 планет, среди которых наша Земля. Луна - это спутник земли. Ранее считалось, что планет девять. Но в 2006 году ученые решили, что Плутон не соответствует определению планеты. Теперь он считается карликовой планетой. Никто точно не знает, есть ли где-то во вселенной обитаемые планеты, подобные Земле. Пока мы можем только гадать.
