The best job in the world???

A. Back in 2012, Andrew Johnson planned to apply to a film school after graduation, rather than look for a job. But then his dad noticed an advertisement for a job with toy manufacturer Lego. Andrew, who was already a Lego fan, sent in an application. It included a video of himself making models. The company loved it and invited him to participate in an unusual interview. He had to compete against seven other finalists in a model-building test. Andrew won. As a result, he was employed at Legoland Discovery Centre in Illinois as a Master Model Builder. “Lego was just a hobby, but now I can do what I love and get paid for it,” said Andrew happily in an interview.

B. Some film providers like Netflix employ people to watch new films and TV series, then ask them to make a note of what type of film it is (horror, rom-com, etc.), what age group and type of person might like it. The film provider can then recommend it to their members. Joe Mason finished his degree in film studies about two years ago and didn’t know what to do next. Then he read an article about film taggers. The job was so fantastic, and he wrote to Netflix. At first, they weren’t interested, but when Joe told them he speaks fluent French, they gave him a job. He watches French films and TV programmes. “It’s a great job because I can have flexible working hours,” said he. The only problem with the job is that Joe can’t choose what he wants to watch.

Gliders in the storm

In February 2007, Ewa Wiśnierska, a German paraglider, was in Australia with other paragliders preparing for the World Championships. One morning, as they were getting ready to take off, they noticed a thunderstorm approaching. However, they decided to carry on. As the best paragliders, they were skilful enough to keep away from some dark clouds. Unfortunately, as the competitors took off, the weather quickly got worse. Despite Ewa's attempt to escape, two enormous clouds came together and trapped her. They pulled her up inside the storm like a leaf in the wind. She flew higher and higher. "It was dark and I could hear lightning all around me." She reached nearly 10,000 m, higher than the top of Mount Everest, and then lost consciousness. At that height, the temperature was about -40°C and there was very little oxygen. Death seemed certain. For forty minutes, Ewa was unconscious. Waking up, she was still inside the storm. It was dark, and hailstones as big as tennis balls were flying past. But fortunately, her glider, which was spinning above her head, was still in one piece. Eventually, Ewa came out of the storm cloud and landed safely near a small farm. When her team reached her, she was 60 km away from the place where she took off. She was weak and covered in ice - but alive! Ewa was the luckiest woman in the world. There's no logical reason why she survived. Ewa had frostbite on her ears and legs, but a few days later, she competed in the World Championships.
