Bill Prince- Smith was a farmer and a teacher and a dentist before he became a writer of children’s books at the age of 60. Now, thirteen years later, he has written more than 80 books. Every day, he goes into his office and writes. In the evening, he gives the work to his wife to read. “She tells me when she doesn’t like something”, says Bill. “My ten grandchildren don’t live near here but they also read my stories and say if they are good or bad”.
And so Bill has learned what young children want to read
Bill writes about the life in his village and on the farms near it. His fifth book is his favorite: the Sheepdog is about a farmer and the dog that helps him.” I have always liked animals”, says Bill, “and dogs so clever, they learn very quickly”.
Last year, the book was made into a film with real animals and actors. The film –makers used the latest computer technology to make people think that the animals are speaking.

Tape transcript:
At present, most of most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas and nuclear power. This power could be provided by the sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population. The energy can be stored for the numbers of days ,so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too. In Sweden all buildings will be heated by the solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.
