FAMOUS PEOPLE’S FIRST JOBS
Not all famous people were born into famous families. A lot of them had normal lives before becoming famous. They also had jobs like the rest of us. Here are just a few:
Former President Obama worked at an ice-cream parlour selling ice-cream cones. He was in high school in Honolulu, Hawaii and said it was quite hard. He also said that the job taught him about responsibility, hard work and how to spend time with work, friends and family.
Brad Pitt had a weird job when he was younger. He worked as a chicken! That’s right. He worked at a restaurant called El Pollo Loco in Hollywood, and his job was to dress up like a chicken and wave at the cars on the road. In fact, if you go on a “See the Stars” tour in Hollywood, many of them will take you past the same restaurant where Brad used to work.
Maybe the strangest path in life was that of Pope Francis. When he was young in Argentina, he worked several jobs before joining the Jesuits and dedicating his life to religion. He worked as a cleaner sweeping floors, a chemical tester at a laboratory and as a bouncer at a bar! Yes, the pope was the person responsible for security at a bar in case anything wrong happened.

HOW CAN WE PROTECT OUR PLANET?
In recent years, environmental pollution has become a major concern worldwide. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on are all being affected by human activities. But what exactly is happening, and how can we help?
The Problems
One of the biggest environmental problems is plastic pollution. Every year, millions of plastic bottles and bags end up in rivers and oceans, harming marine life. Animals often mistake plastic for food, which can lead to serious health issues or even death.
Air pollution is another major issue. Cars, factories, and power plants release harmful gases into the air, causing breathing problems and contributing to climate change. Cutting down forests also worsens air quality, as trees help clean the air.
Solutions
There are many simple ways to help protect the environment. Recycling is one of the best solutions. Instead of throwing away plastic, glass, and paper, we can reuse or recycle them. Another important step is saving energy—turning off lights, using less water, and switching to eco-friendly products can make a big difference.
Reducing air pollution is also crucial. Choosing bicycles or public transport instead of private cars helps lower the amount of harmful gases in the air. Planting trees is another great way to improve air quality and make our planet greener.
Take Action!
Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. If we all make small changes in our daily lives, we can create a cleaner and healthier world for future generations.
