READING COMPREHENSION 20 MINUTES

Read the text carefully.

My new school
1 Hi! I’m Mark Jones and I was born in Bristol, England, on 15th June. I’m
thirteen now and I’m in a new school this year. It is huge as there are 700
pupils and 80 teachers. It is quite a modern school with a gym, a big library
and three ICT rooms.

5 I usually arrive at school at a quarter to eight. I cycle to school because it

is not too far from my house. We start at eight o’clock and we have up to
seven lessons a day. Fortunately, we also have some free periods when we can go to the library
or go home! Lessons last forty-five minutes and we finish our day at five o’clock, because we can
also join clubs, like the music, the drama and the cooking club. Break time lasts twenty minutes in
10 the morning and we have a two-hour lunch break. I go home for lunch, but my friends who live
further away eat in the canteen.

My school rules are quite strict, but I think that they are effective. We must be punctual and bring
our equipment and homework for each lesson. We have a uniform and we are not allowed to eat
or use our mobile phone in class either.

15 I study maths, English, science, technology, history, geography, PE and citizenship. As I am in

Year 7, I must study a new language. I chose Spanish and I really love it! I’m good at speaking
foreign languages! My favourite lesson is Spanish because the teacher is really friendly, and he
explains things well. Later, I would like to continue to study languages. I would like to learn Chinese
as it is a fascinating language.
