“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray,

go throw your TV set away,

and in its place you can install

a lovely bookshelf on the wall.”

Roald Dahl

The Most Extraordinary* Jobs

1. Pet Food Tester

Yes, it’s a thing, and yes it’s totally disgusting.

But as the owner of pet food company Huds and Toke, Mark Gooley, says, “If you can’t put it in your mouth, don’t expect your dog to eat it.”

Mr Gooley eats dog food for a living. He eats everything from doggie treats and bones to liver mixture.

Disgusting – מגעיל, דוחה                     Expect – לצפות

For a living – לפרנסתו                         Bones – עצמות

Liver – כבד

2. Gumologist

A lot of hard work goes into creating the perfect piece of bubble gum.

Just ask Jesse Kiefer, who works as a Gumologist for Cadbury Schweppes.

Jesse has to get the flavor just right, which isn’t easy with mixes like strawberry and lime – which he says aren’t great together.

Piece – חתיכה

Bubble gum – מסטיק

Flavor – טעם

3. Waterslide Tester

A work day definitely seems a lot more exciting if you get to spend your working week slipping down water slides. Especially in summer.

And water slides are usually placed in amusement parks. Imagine getting to spend your lunch break on a rollercoaster, and eating a hot dog for lunch.

Working is fun, am I right?

Definitely – בהחלט                               Exciting – מרגש

Slipping – להחליק                                Slides – מגלשות

Imagine – דמיינו, תארו לכם                  rollercoaster – רכבת הרים

amusement park – פארק שעשועים

4. Teddy Bear Repair Technician

Kids get really emotional about their toys. Remember when your favorite toy lost an arm, or got damaged? It was devastating. But now there’s a special technician who can come to the rescue.

The Build-A-Bear Workshops have a Teddy Bear Repair Technician who is hired to repair those much-loved teddy bears and get them back to their cuddly, beautiful shape.

Emotional – רגשני                  damaged – נפגע, ניזוק

Devastating – הורס                  to the rescue – להצלחה

Hired – מועסק                         cuddly – מתרפק, מחובק

5. Snake Milker

Snake venom is powerful stuff. It can be turned into drugs to treat all kinds of problems, including a poisonous snake bite.

But someone brave needs to collect that venom by hand. They gently expose the snake’s fang and squeeze out the deadly venum.

“The only difference between me and any other worker in the world that is that thing I work with can kill you…and wants to,” Alabama snake milker Ken Darnell says.

Milker – חולב                           venom – ארס                squeeze – לסחוט

Turned into – הופך ל               gently – בעדינות           deadly – קטלני

Treat – לטפל                            expose – לחשוף           

Poisonous- רעיל                      fangs – ניבים

6. Dice inspector

In the gambling world, millions can be lost at the roll of a faulty dice. Therefore, the job of a dice inspector is an important one, making sure each die is in proportion, with all the right angles.

Dice – קוביית משחק                              therefore – לכן                       

Gambling – הימור                               inspector – בודק, מפקח

make sure – לוודא                               proportion- פרופורציה, מידה

Faulty – פגום                                       angles – זוויות

Harry Potter

Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy books written by J. K. Rowling. The main character of the series is, of course, Harry Potter. Harry lives in England with his aunt and uncle because both his parents are dead. But Harry is not a regular boy. He is a wizard*. He goes to a special school for wizards, called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, and they become good friends. Together, they fight Harry’s enemy, the Dark wizard Lord Voldemort.

In the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which was published in 1997, Harry is 12 years old. In the seventh and last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was published ten years later, he is 18. Since the beginning, the series was a great success. It has sold more than 500 million copies, making it the best-selling book series in history. The Harry potter book series was translated into 67 languages.

Following the success of the books, Harry Potter also became a movie hero. The first movie came out in 2001. The last one came out in 2011. British actor Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter. Like the book series, the Harry Potter movies were very popular, and made Radcliffe a successful actor.
