Many teenagers dream of playing for a huge football club but for Martin Odegaard that dream has become a reality. Martin, whose father is a football coach, became a professional footballer in Norway at the age of 15. But it was a year later when his career really took off! In 2015, he joined Real Madrid for around €4 million! At the moment, Martin doesn’t play for the club’s main team, but he is a patient person who is happy to train and improve his skills. He did play one game in 2015, though. In a match in May, he came on as a substitute and became the youngest ever player for Real Madrid! He was just 16 years and 157 days old! The player who Martin replaced was Cristiano Ronaldo. In the future, Martin could become a superstar like his teammate!
When Olivia Hallisey heard about the Ebola disaster in Africa in 2014, she decided to do something to help. So, in her science class at school, she started researching new ways to test for the disease. At the moment, health workers need to refrigerate the blood samples they get from people, but this is difficult in rural Africa where many areas don’t have electricity. Olivia’s invention, though, is a simple piece of paper whose colour changes when it detects the virus! Olivia won the main award at Google’s Science Fair in September 2015, and now she hopes that a company can start producing her test. This young woman from the USA is very hard-working and that’s why she has a great future ahead of her!

Как понять такие слова в похожем тексте:
- Смотри на соседние слова: caught the attention — устойчивое выражение «привлёк внимание», а не «поймал внимание». Рядом со словом career выражение took off значит «пошла в гору», а не «сняла».
- Выделенное слово может стоять в прошедшем времени или с окончанием -ing. В словаре ищи начальную форму: caught → catch, took off → take off, replaced → replace, detects → detect, producing → produce.
- Проверяй себя по смыслу всего предложения: «карьера резко пошла в гору» звучит логично, а «карьера сняла» — нет.
