This is me
Hi. My name is Joseph and I live in Manchester with my family. I’m nine years old. I
have two brothers – Martin and Jeremy. Martin is twelve and Jeremy is fifteen. I
share a room with Martin and Jeremy has his own room. My dad works in a big office
and my mum works in a bicycle shop. We live in a big house on a nice street in a
small town. It’s not in the country, but that’s OK. We’ve got two pets – Clarence the
dog and Mandy the cat. My Uncle John and my Aunt Eleanor live on the same street
as us. I don’t have any other aunts or uncles because my mum is an only child. But
Uncle John and Aunt Eleanor have two children. They’re my cousins – Vincent and
Zoe. Vincent is ten and Zoe is fourteen. We go to the same school and we like
playing computer games together. My grandparents live on another street in the
same town. They’re quite old and they don’t work now. Sometimes we all eat
together on Sundays and afterwards we watch a movie. We’re never lonely with all
our relatives!

Life on a farm
Do you hate life in the city? Do you think life on a farm is great, easy and quiet? Well,
think again. Life on a farm is great, but it’s also very difficult!
Magda and Pierre live on a farm in France with their parents. Every day all the family
wake up very early in the morning and they feed the animals and collect the milk and
eggs. Then Magda and Pierre brush the horses. Their dad takes the sheep to the
field. After that they go to school. When they come back, they help their parents plant
vegetables and pick fruit.
After lunch, they do their homework for the next day and then Pierre moves the
sheep back to the farm and Magda feeds the ducks. A lot of people visit their farm
because they love the animals there and they want to buy fresh fruit and vegetables.
Everyone loves their old goat, Bud. Bud doesn’t play or run very much now, but he
loves people and people love him.

B Julie
Studying other countries is my favourite lesson at school. I like studying continents
and countries, and I like hills and lakes and not big houses or churches. I don’t really
like sightseeing when I go on holiday because I don’t like history very much. Last
year we went to South America and we saw some beautiful countries, like Venezuela
and Brazil.
C Roger
I like walking around a city on my own and seeing all the little places where people
live and work and go shopping. I don’t want to see the big historical places very
much, because they’re full of tourists and you don’t see the real city with the real
people in those places – even if you have a tour guide. I like the cities in Mexico and
Hungary.
D James
What I like to do on holiday is … nothing! I like sitting in the sun looking at the view. It
doesn’t matter if I’m at the seaside or in a city or in the mountains. I like to sit and
think and read a book, but nothing too difficult because I don’t want to get tired! I like
Egypt and Spain because they’re very hot countries.
E Audrey
My holidays are full of action – swimming, walking, climbing. I love them all! I don’t
get tired, and I think it’s really exciting to do something you can’t do in your life at
home. Sometimes we go into the mountains and walk for days and we don’t see
anyone else the whole time! I like Oman and Kenya, and one year we went to
Norway and lived in the snow for a week. It was cold but it was the best holiday I ever
had!

Petra’s blog
Hi! I’m Petra. Welcome to my blog. Here I write about what I do, how I feel and
anything funny or strange that happens to me. I hope you have fun reading it!
Farm life!
Last weekend my family and I visited a farm. We had a great time! We saw lots of
baby animals – chicks, lambs, calves. It was fantastic! I rode on a pony – his name
was Tony and he was very sweet and cute. I loved him. I also helped the farmer feed
the chickens and my sister collected the eggs, and the milk from the cows – that was
very funny to see!
Difficult week!
We’re having exams at school and I’m studying and studying and studying! Life is
very hard! Why do we have tests? I hate them – really I do! I’m getting bored and
tired with it and I want to go shopping! There’s a new shopping centre near my house
and all my friends are there, but I’m at home studying! Do you have to study for
school tests? Write and tell me your views and opinions.
School newspaper
Our school newspaper wants some articles on pupils’ opinions about things and
problems you have at school or at home. I’m the editor of the newspaper, so please
send me your emails with your views. And don’t forget to check out our website for
reviews of the school play and the calendar section for school sport and matches!

Can you walk underwater? It’s difficult, isn’t it? Well, there’s an animal that can do
that. Armadillos can walk underwater, but they can’t swim! And while we’re talking
about armadillos – how many hours do they sleep a day? You’ll never guess! They
sleep about 18.5 hours a day!
Now, you know that sharks have got lots of teeth, but how many is that? It depends
on the kind of shark, of course, but they can have up to 3,000 teeth! Lots of teeth fall
out, but sharks grow new teeth all the time. Imagine a shark at the dentist! Big
problem!
Another strange thing! People sleep with their eyes closed, right? Well, here’s an
animal that doesn’t do that. Dolphins don’t close their eyes when they go to sleep!
Strange but true!
Here’s another strange fact. Do you know which animals never jump? Elephants!
They can’t jump, but they can run quite fast when they want.
And finally, which animal can’t see colours? Can you guess? No? Cows! They only
see things in black and white, but they don’t think that life is boring!

B Roger has a very important job. He sits at the front of the plane and controls
everything. He always wanted to fly and now he’s doing his dream job. ‘I love flying,’
says Roger. ‘All the passengers rely on me, because sometimes it can be dangerous
– for example, there could be an emergency during take-off or landing.’
C Arthur is at the airport a lot. Sometimes you can see him waiting for his bags or
waiting to get on a plane or showing his passport as he goes through security. ‘It
feels like I’m always catching a plane, going through security checks or collecting my
baggage,’ he says. ‘I have to travel all over the world for my job and so I catch a lot of
planes.’
D Suzie is Roger’s wife and she sometimes works on the plane that he flies. She
wears nice clothes and looks after the passengers on the flight. She serves them
drinks and food and smiles all the time. She says it’s a tiring job, but she likes helping
people and she likes working with Roger. They are both away from home a lot, but
they are together when they work on the same flight.
E Bruce’s job is very important, because he keeps everyone safe. He works at the
airport, but he doesn’t fly and he doesn’t work at the information desk. He checks all
the passengers, and he helps them through the scanner at security. He is there in
any emergency to help everyone.

Family problems
Sometimes I argue with my parents because they don’t let me do what I want. We
disagree a lot, and it’s not very nice in my house when they refuse to give me
permission. They think I’m just a child, but I’m growing up really fast. They don’t allow
me to go out on a school night, for example. But I’m fifteen and I want to grow up!
Why don’t they let me? When I was younger I couldn’t look after myself, but now I’m
old enough.
They shout and sometimes I cry, but they still don’t let me do what I want. It’s not
easy to get on with them when they don’t trust me. They say they worry about me all
the time, but I don’t think that’s reasonable. It’s not fair. And then they have all these
rules, and I have to do what the rules say or I get into more trouble. I must feed the
dog and do the washing up, and I should always do my homework before I watch TV.
But my relationship with my parents isn’t bad, I suppose. They let me go out at the
weekends. At the weekend I can do whatever I want!

A Chuck
I like big animals, I don’t like cats or goldfish or birds. When we go to the zoo, I like
looking at the elephants. They’re the biggest and slowest animals in the zoo. I’m not
scared of big animals, but I’m scared of really little ones – like mice! Just like Walt
Disney!
B Vince
I have a big garden at home and in the summer there’s lots of sunshine and flowers and
the butterflies come out. We’ve got six new puppies as well, and we all play in the
garden together. When they get older, they’ll be bigger and stronger, but now they’re
weaker than me and I can run faster than them!
C Polly
My favourite animal is the donkey. They’re the slowest and friendliest animal, and the
food they like best is … chocolate. Last year, I asked my dad if he could buy a donkey,
but he said I can’t have one because we haven’t got anywhere to keep him.
D Angela
Some people think I have a strange pet, but I don’t think he’s strange. My pet is a
python. He’s called Muscles, and he’s the biggest snake you’ve ever seen. He eats mice
and lives in a special box my dad bought. We knock on the glass to wake him up when
it’s time to feed him. He’s the most interesting pet you can imagine.
E Nick
The zoo is such a boring place ! It was more tiring than I thought it was going to be. My
dad was upset because it was more expensive than he thought, and my sister said it
wasn’t as enjoyable as she expected. Playing computer games is better than looking at
animals.

My band
I’m in a band with my friends Ron, Paul and Bingo. We think we’re the next big thing.
That’s why we called our band The Next Big Thing! We’re going to be famous – and in
the near future, too! We practise all the time, and when we finish school, we aren’t going
to go to university. We want to spend a lot of time playing music together. We have big
plans, and there won’t be time for university!
We have a CD and we wrote all the songs ourselves. We’re going to sell the CD at our
concerts. We’re playing tomorrow in our town, and after that there’s going to be a tour.
We’re travelling in our bus, but we’ll visit a lot of places. We’re going to show everyone
what we can do. We’re getting ready tonight. It’s going to be great!
When we’re famous, we’ll play big concerts. On this tour, we’re playing in small places,
but you can be sure we won’t forget the little places. So come to our concert tomorrow,
and one day, you’ll say ‘I knew them before they were famous!’

My charity work
Hi, I’m Paul and I do a lot for charity. I like helping people, so I try to do many things.
Listen to some of the things I’ve done. I’ve parachuted out of an aeroplane. I’ve run a
marathon. I’ve sold things at a stall in a market. I’ve sold tickets to a bouncy castle at a
fair and I’ve been on a telethon loads of times. I was tired after the marathon and I was
really scared in the aeroplane, but I’m happy I did those things!
Next week, I’m cycling from London to Paris to raise money for a new charity which
helps people who can’t see very well. The money I raise will help someone to get better,
I hope. I haven’t cycled very much in my life, so it’s going to be very interesting. It’s a
long journey and I’ll be really tired, but I think it will be fun too.
There are lots of other things you can do to help people through charity. I’ve raised
money for schools. I’ve given money to poor people in Africa. I’ve helped to build a
school in South America. I enjoyed all of the things I’ve done. I love charity events, and I
love meeting people. Don’t waste your time watching TV or playing on your computer,
come and help!

If I Become Rich
A Do you dream of being rich and famous? I think everybody does at some point in
their lives! Well, I definitely do! I keep dreaming of what I’ll do if I ever become rich
and famous.
B If I become famous, my life will change a lot. People will know me and say hello to
me when I go out and ask for my autograph, and they’ll want to have a photograph
with me! And if I become rich, I’ll have lots of nice clothes and a big house and a fast
car, too!
C But I think that if I become rich and famous, it’s also important to help people who
aren’t so lucky. So I’ll use some of my money to help others.
D I’ll build a school for poor children in Africa, like my favourite athlete, Roger
Federer. There, poor children will learn to read and write and maybe become good
athletes too. If they become famous athletes, then they can also help others!
E I don’t know how I’ll become rich and famous, but I’m going to try anyway. I’m good
at sports and I work hard to become better and better. And if I eventually become rich
and famous, then I’ll really try to help others. What about you? What will you do if you
become rich and famous?

A Martina, 13 Switzerland
Many things have changed in the recent past. Only thirty years ago people didn’t
have mobile phones and laptops weren’t very usual. Today, things have changed a
lot and technology is improving very fast. I think that in the future, people will have
flying cars and robots and we won’t have to go to work or the supermarket. We’ll
work from home and do our shopping on the internet. I’m certain that in a century, life
will be very different. Perhaps there won’t be so many illnesses and people will live a
very long time!

Hi, my name’s Tony and I love travelling. When we go on holiday, we travel a really
long way, so we usually take the plane. You have to be at the airport quite early to
check in with your luggage, and then wait for the plane to take off. It’s great when you
get into the air and you can see everything below you. It all looks different from the
sky!

Hi, I’m Debbie and I’ve been saving my money for a long time, because I want to go
to New York and buy lots of things in the shops. I think they have the best shops in
the world in New York! My hobby is fashion, so I want to visit the clothes shops, and
the shoe shops, too. I like looking good, and some people say I look like a movie star
in my best clothes!
C _________
My name’s Kim and I think it’s important to help people who aren’t as lucky as you.
There are poor people, people who are ill, or just people who need some help, and I
try to do whatever I can to raise money for them. I sell things at fairs. I go to lots of
events and today I’m running in a charity marathon. I’ll be really tired tonight, but I’ll
feel good because we’ll raise a lot of money.
D _________
Hello, I’m called Vicky and I’m on holiday. Well, it’s not like a normal holiday,
because I’m working. I have to feed the animals and pick vegetables and fruit and
keep everything clean and tidy. It’s really hard work, but I’m learning new things all
the time.
E _________
I’m Murray and I love my job. I love cameras and technology, and I love the theatre,
too, so this job is great because it’s all of those things together. It’s quite hard work
and you have to get up really early, and actors are difficult people sometimes, but
when you see the movie in the cinema, it’s worth it!
