When it comes to tough jobs, nothing beats being a smokejumper! er Smokejumpers are elite firefighters who risk their lives fighting forest fires in remote areas. They bravely parachute out of aeroplanes into burning forests, where they quickly get to work putting the fire out. A smokejumper's duties are not easy. They have to do long, tough training before they can become part of a team. Smokejumpers need to be very good parachutists, and know how to read maps to get out of a forest safely. "To be a smokejumper you need to be very fit, and able to work for long hours in difficult conditions," says Zach Meyers, a smokejumper at West Yellowstone. "We train all the time and we're always trying to improve." When they parachute into a fire zone, they wear a padded jump jacket and trousers, boots, gloves, a face mask and a helmet. They also carry a backpack with some food and water, and a fire shelter. The aeroplane drops the tools and equipment they need to fight the fire. "People think that smokejumpers have a very dangerous job, but we don't see it like that," says Zach with a smile. "This job keeps me happy. I love the feeling I get when I jump out of the aeroplane and fly through the air. I wouldn't want any other job in the world." краткий пересказ текста

I have just seen a musical film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” which is based on a children’s novel by Roald Dahl. The film was directed by Tim Burton.

This fantasy comedy film is about an eccentric chocolate magnate Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket, a good-natured boy from a poor family. One day Willie announces an international competition to select the heir to his candy empire. Charlie and four more children find "golden tickets" in Wonka chocolate bars and win a tour of the legendary chocolate factory that has been hidden from people’s eyes for fifteen years. Watching the film is like being on that tour with Charlie.  The four naughty kids get punished during the film, and in the end Charlie helps Willy Wonka to find his father.

The film stars are my favourite actors Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore. Their acting is just superb. I also like the music in the film. There are a few songs in the film sung by the funny little Oompa-Loompas. The visual effects are simply the best, all the chocolate things look very realistic!  I was surprised to know that all the Oompa-Loompas were played by one actor.

I enjoyed every minute of this story on the screen.
