A day in the life of an airline pilot

It usually takes about two years to train to become an airline pilot. It can be expensive too (about £100,000!) because the airlines don’t pay for your training – you do! At least the pay is good when you start working! So what’s life like as a pilot? Well, we asked one!

‘I know how to fly many different aeroplanes now. We train on the small planes, but I enjoy flying the really big ones the most. I fly from France to the USA very often, but my favourite journey is the one from France to Thailand.

‘I’m from France, so French is my first language, but I also have to speak English so I can talk to the air control people. I have to be very fit and healthy – we have medical checks every year – so I exercise for about three hours a day if I’m not flying. I love all sorts of sport, especially tennis, but I can’t stand football.

‘My company has offices in many different countries, but I don’t have to live there – my home is still in France.’

Airline pilots usually do two years of training.

Hi, my name’s Jeremy. I’m thirteen years old and I’m a ⁰pupil at Blackfriar’s, which is a          school in England. I study at the school and I      here too. This means that if I forget to bring my pens or         to a class, I don’t have very far to go to get them! I love working with numbers, so my favourite subject is       . I’m not very good at sport, though, so I don’t do very well in    classes, but I’m getting better.

My           is OK – I have six different classes every day. There’s a really loud      that rings between every class. I get quite a lot of          every day, but that’s OK! My parents pay a lot of money for me to come here – I think it’s worth it!

Two Reviews of Hip-Hop: The Musical

The poster for Hip-Hop: The Musical outside the theatre says the show tells the story of hip-hop from the 1970s until now. It does, but this 2½-hour show really doesn’t tell the story very well. I love hip-hop, but this is more like the story of pop. The acting isn’t that great either. It costs £20 for a ticket (at least £15 too much!), but why don’t you spend that on some good music instead of going to see this?

Kelly, 13, Reading

I usually love listening to rock music rather than hip-hop, so it’s a bit of a surprise to me that I’m recommending this show. There are fifteen songs and they’re so good I’m still singing some of them now, nearly a week later. It’s just under two hours long which isn’t enough! The actors are brilliant – I think I’m in love with the one who plays Dizzie – and the dance routines are just awesome. Take your friends, go on your own, whatever. Just go and see it!
