VI. READING COMPREHENSION
Anew life in paradise

1. Alex Sheshunoff is a writer and Sarah Kalish is a lawyer. They both had good jobs and an apartment in Iowa city. However, one
day they decided to build a new home for themselves. Most people would probably look locally, perhaps in the nicer
neighbourhoods. But actually, they planned to find a place in paradise to create their home.
2. For Alex, it was fairly easy to choose an island with everything he wanted. As a keen scuba diver, Alex first visited the Palau
group of islands years ago because of the beautiful ocean. He continued to go back there from time to time so this seemed like a
good choice for paradise. The islands are about 7,500 kilometres west of Hawaii so they are difficult to reach. However, they have
green forests with interesting wildlife and they are surrounded by a blue ocean full of colourful fish. In the end, Alex and Sarah
chose one island in particular - Angaur.
3. Angaur is only thirteen kilometres around with a population of about one hundred and fifty people. Before they could start to
work on the house, they had to get permission from the head of the island —an 83-year-old woman. She was worried they intended
to develop the area for other tourists but Alex said, W e would like to build a simple house.’ They agreed on the rent of one hundred
dollars a month for twenty years. The head of the island was happy. She said, ‘Angaur welcomes you.’
4. Then the real work began. Alex and Sarah didn’t want to pay for a construction company, so they taught themselves a lot about
building. They also had a lot o f friends in Iowa. They came out to help and in return got a free holiday by the beach. The local
people of Anguar also worked for the couple and after many months of hard work and a final visit from the head of the island, their
dream house was ready
