"Я услышал о компании в Шотландии, продающей самодельные изделия для ванной и подумал, что это хорошая идея. Мой отец сказал, что я мог бы заняться этим, поэтому я решил рискнуть", объясняет Джеймс. То было два с половиной года назад.

Did you go to university?

No I didn't go to university, I didn't study very hard at school and I didn't get good marks.

What job did you get?

I worked in an office, but I didn't like it. I didn't have interesting jobs to do.

I spent my free time with my friends and we started a band.

When did you start the band.

When I was 18. I did my office job all the day, but every evening I sang with the band in clubs and bars. I didn't think we could be famous, but one night a record producer spotted us. We signed a contract the next week, and I never went back to the office again

Объяснение:

Henri Charriere lived in Paris in the 1920s. He was a thief and he robbed banks. People called him “Papillon” because he had a tattoo of a butterfly on his chest. In 1931, the police arrested Papillon for a murder. He wasn’t guilty, but they sent him to a prison for dangerous criminals in South America.

Papillon tried to escape nine times and he had many adventures. Once, he escaped in a small boat and lived in an Indian village in the jungle for a few months before the police found him. Every time Papillon escaped, the police caught him and brought him back.

Finally the police sent him to the prison on Devil’s Island. This was a horrible place and prisoners never escaped from it. But this did not stop Papillon. He wanted to get away and he started to plan another escape. One day he jumped off a cliff into the sea. After thirteen years in prison he finally escaped!

Papillon got to Venezuela and there he got married. Soon he became a successful businessman. Later he wrote a book about his life. The book was a bestseller and Henri Charriere became rich and famous.
