A SIMPLE LIFE

The Amish people in America live in a very traditional way. They produce their own food. They don’t use modern machines. They haven’t got cars. They travel by horse and cart instead. The children haven’t got a lot of modern things, like mp3 players or mobile phones.

Sam, an Amish boy, doesn’t mind living in a simple way. ‘I love helping with the animals,’ he says, ‘but I’m interested in studying ICT. I really want a laptop. A lot of boys my age have got one. I want to play computer games like them.’

Claire, who is fourteen years old, says she hardly ever feels bored. ‘I meet friends or I help my mum at home,’ she says. ‘I don’t go shopping because my mum makes all my clothes. I don’t wear make-up because it’s not allowed. I’m usually happy with my life, but sometimes I really want to watch TV!’
