Liam
Last Saturday was great. It was the first day of the holidays, and it
was also my birthday. In the afternoon, there was a good film on TV,
and in the evening, there was a band on at our local youth club. Some
of my friends were at the club and the band was great. There was also
a lot of food to eat.
There were chips and sandwiches, some chicken curry, apple pie and
custard. I wasn’t very hungry, but the food was delicious.
The concert was really good fun and it was a great birthday.

Karen
Last Saturday morning there was an English exam at an examination
centre in town. The centre was enormous and there were a lot of
students there from all the different schools in the area. There were
about ten students from my school in total, six girls and four boys.
The exam was quite hard: there was a listening part, a reading part,
a writing part, and finally a speaking part. The exam was 3 hours long
and I was very happy to finish.
In the evening there was a film on television but I was really tired, I
was in bed at 9 p.m.
