Reading Comprehension

My fashion blog

17-year-old Jayden Spahn talks about her love of fashion.

I’ve loved clothes since I was about five. Each morning, I spend time thinking about what to wear. My mum gets angry sometimes and tells me to hurry up, but I don’t think it’s something you can decide quickly. It’s far too important.

Last year, after reading a fashion blog by Rachel, a 19-year-old student, I decided to start one myself. Almost immediately, I posted my first blog. I was really pleased when friends said they loved it – they especially liked the video I made called A world of fashion.

I post something new each day. I keep a fashion diary, where I describe what I’m wearing, and every week I also post a photo of myself in my favourite clothes. Most people say they like the photos. But, for me, the best part is getting messages from fans.

My parents think it’s good for me to have a hobby, and I still do all my homework, so they’re happy for me to do the blog. The only thing they tell me is to be careful about what I read online. They tell me not to worry if people post things that I don’t agree with.

I’m not really interested in becoming a fashion model – I think I might get bored with someone taking my photograph every day! Maybe, when I’m older, I’ll start my own clothes company, but before that I’m going to do a fashion course at college. I’m already trying to choose the best one!

5 What has Jayden decided to do in the future?

Rebecca Miles – wildlife presenter

Rebecca Miles has always loved animals. When she was a child, she liked watching documentaries, TV programmes about real people and events. She also enjoyed going to the local zoo with her grandparents. Her father was an environmentalist, someone who works to protect the natural world, and she and her mother often went on trips with him, travelling to Africa and other parts of the world.

Rebecca studied zoology at university and began her career at a wildlife centre in Zambia. She worked with chimpanzees and studied how they live. She was also interested in learning more about big cats like mountain lions. She made her first TV programme when she was 27. It was a documentary about tigers.

While she was in Asia, filming the documentary, she met her future husband, Ray. He was one of the cameramen on the programme. They quickly realized that they shared the same interests and cared about animals in danger. Now Rebecca and Ray work together on many different projects.

Apart from Zambia, Rebecca has travelled and worked all over Africa and Asia, and she and Ray are now planning to take their very first trip to South America to study mountain lions in the Andes. They would like to show where the mountain lions live and what they eat. They’re interested in giving people information about the mountain lions and how to protect them.

Rebecca would like to write a book about her work and her life one day. She wants to make people think about the world they live in and all the amazing animals that are in danger. She’d like to show us that we can help even if we never travel to the places where those animals live.
