Rickie Rich — This is your life
Rickie Rich is famous for being … rich! His father is an actor in Hollywood and his mother directs films.
So what’s life like for Rickie? We asked some of the people who work for him.
a ____ Kiki, personal assistant: Every day is really busy for Rickie because so many people want
4
to be with him. We have a breakfast meeting every morning at half past eight, and we always
carefully plan everything he does.
b ____ Arnie, fitness trainer: Every morning before breakfast we train for thirty-seven minutes.
It is important to be precise. Twice a week we swim, three times a week we run, the other days
we play tennis or basketball. It is a very hard schedule but Rickie is very fit.
c ____ Guru Harbhajan Singh, meditation coach: There is a lot of stress in Rickie’s life, so we
try to find a way to relax. We usually meditate for an hour before lunch and sometimes, if Rickie’s
day has been difficult, we do some yoga.
d ____ Mme Cholet, private language tutor: Rickie is very enthusiastic about learning
languages. He wants to enjoy all the countries he travels to. So we study every morning for an
hour and a half. Rickie is always a good student.
e ____ Mr Floyd, personal chef: It is very difficult to cook for Rickie. I never know what he
wants! Sometimes for breakfast he only has a glass of orange juice and some yoghurt. Then the
next day he wants sausage, bacon and eggs, like an Englishman!

a What does Rickie do every day? ___________________________________________________________
He has a meeting, he trains and he has language classes.
