My Uncle Oscar If you’ve ever watched an action film, you’ve probably seen the work of a stunt person. It’s an exciting, but risky, career as they are the people who do the things in movies that are too dangerous for the actors to do. My Uncle Oscar had wanted to be a stunt man ever since he was a boy. 1 . He used to annoy his mother by jumping over his toys on his bike. When he was older, he practised more complicated stunts with his friend and the pair of them put on amateur shows. After one of the performances, somebody in the audience came up to him and asked if he was interested in working in films. Oscar said yes, and that’s when his career as a stunt man began. Oscar became well-known in the film industry and travelled around the world for his work. 2 . He was an easy-going and sociable man, so he loved the fact that there were a lot of interesting people on a film set who he could chat to. He was very popular with the crew and actors, probably because he was always smiling and joking – he’s always had a very positive attitude to life. Unfortunately, Oscar had a lot of accidents while he was working as a stunt man, including several broken bones. 3 . Some of them wonder why and others realize that’s how he met my Aunt Emma, because she was working as a nurse in the hospital where he was being treated. Shortly after that accident, Oscar took a break from his life as a stunt man. 4 . By then, he’d decided that he wanted to settle down and chose a life that didn’t involve moving around so often. These days, my Uncle Oscar has completely given up doing dangerous stunts. Instead, he runs a motorbike repair shop with one of his childhood friends. 5 . Above everything else, he loves talking to his customers and helping them in any way possible. Oscar lives with his wife Emma in a small town not far from where they originally met. 6 . Ever since then, they have spent most of their free time painting and decorating it so that it looks nice. A Although he never imagined he’d have his own business, he really likes his new job. B He wanted to spend time with Emma and avoid having any more accidents. C He spent a lot of time in the USA, but he also went on work trips to Asia and Africa. D After that, he thought that he would never work again. E He started doing dangerous things when he was about 10 years old. F Rather strangely, he usually tells people how he is actually pleased that one of those accidents happened. G The pair of them moved into their house a couple of years ago. H He was a very cautious boy until his 18th birthday, when he got his very first job.
