At the cinemas this week
In his interview to Mitch Forman actor Russ Sparks, the star of a new independent film. speaks about his new film, The University of Life.
I play a young lawyer. He lives in the centre of New York City, he’s rich, he has a great apartment, he has a lovely family but he isn’t happy. He has trouble sleeping, and he often works very late. Then, one day, his life changes when he becomes friends with an old man at the city hospital.
Then he gives up his job at the law firm, and he becomes a song-writer and jazz pianist.
The title of the film is The University of Lifebecause the old man tells him simple stories about his life. The lawyer learns a lot from these stories – things he didn’t learn at expensive private schools and university. These stories help him to understand himself and be happy.

At the end of the film the lawyer loves his new job. He also has time to enjoy his family again, thanks to the help of the old man. Saleh al-Ghaoui plays the old man. I love working with him. I learn a lot from him about acting, too.
Lionel Messi – football hero
Lionel Messi is an Argentinian footballer. Many people say he’s the best player in the world today. He was born on 24 June 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. He has two brothers, Rodrigo and Matías, and a sister, María Sol. Messi started playing football when he was five.
The family moved to Europe, and young Messi started playing for the famous football team FC Barcelona. He played his first game for the senior team in October 2004 and he scored his first goal on 1 May 2005. He was only seventeen years old. In his first six years, he scored more than a hundred goals for FC Barcelona, and helped them win the championship trophy four times, and the European Champions League twice.
Messi played in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups for Argentina, but without much success. He helped his national team win the gold medal in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
In 2007, he started to help children with their education and healthcare. He said in an interview ‘Being a bit famous now gives me the opportunity to help people who really need it, especially children.’ UNICEF made Messi its goodwill ambassador for children’s rights in 2010.
The First Air Journey
On July 25, 1909, a Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, became the first man to complete an air journey from Calais, in the north of France, to Dover, in the south of England. People thought that such a journey was impossible.
The flight wasn’t easy. Mr. Bleriot, a 37-year-old engineer, couldn’t swim, so he didn’t want to come down in the Channel. He couldn’t walk very well because of an injury to his leg, and he didn’t have a compass.
On the morning of the 25th, he took off from a field at the edge of a cliff. It took 37 minutes to complete the 22-mile journey. The plane flew at 40 miles per hour at an altitude of 250 feet.

Everything went well until he flew into fog. ‘I continued flying for ten minutes, but I couldn’t see the land. It was the most dangerous part of the flight. Finally, I saw the land,’ he told reporters.
When he got to Dover, he saw a French journalist waving a flag. He landed on a field.
The news quickly went round the world, and Mr. Bleriot’s flight was celebrated in London and Paris. He won a prize of £1,000.
The crossing was the start of modern aviation.
