 Activities

🤔
1. Read the text below and underline the verbs on present simple tense.

‟ Shannon Thompson is 14 years old. She lives with her mum, dad and little
brother, Jamie, in Leeds and she goes to Eccleshill School. She’s just an ordinary
teenager – except Shannon is one of Britain’s top swimmers. She’s the British
under-16 100m freestyle champion. Shannon is always busy – she trains hard and
she studies hard.
Shannon’s day starts at 6 o’clock. She gets up, has breakfast and then her mum
takes her to the swimming pool. Her coach, David, is at the pool and she trains for
two hours. After training, she catches the bus to school. Shannon’s a good student
and she likes French and Spanish but her favourite lesson is PE – of course! She
has lunch with her friends at school. Afternoon lessons finish at 3:30 and Shannon
returns to the swimming pool for more training with her coach. She often
swims non-stop for two hours! When she gets home, she has dinner with her
family, but she never watches TV in the evening. She goes to her bedroom and she
does her homework. She’s usually very tired, so she goes to bed at 9:30.
Shannon says: ‘I’m always very busy with schoolwork and swimming but I usually
have some free time at weekends. I often go shopping with my friends on Saturday
afternoons. Sometimes my friends come to my house on Saturday evenings. We
have pizza and watch films or listen to music.
I’m very serious about my swimming. My ambition is  to be an Olympic swimming
champion like  my hero Rebecca Adling ton – she’s got four Olympic medals! I
love swimming and I love my busy life!’ ” (source:
