READING

Two sisters
My name’s Kinga. I’m nineteen and I’m from Warsaw in Poland but I’m not living there right
now. I’m living and studying in New York City. I’m a student at The Juilliard School in
Manhattan, where you can study drama, dance and music. I play the violin and I’m really
happy I can study music at this famous school because the teachers are amazing. My
course is for 6 months and I go to school from Monday to Friday. My classes usually start at
9 a.m. I don’t live in the centre of New York City because it’s expensive, so I get up early and
travel to school by bus. I arrive at 8.30 so I can get a coffee in the school café before my
lessons start.

I’m learning a lot of American words and my mum says I have an American accent now. I
love fast food and I eat hot dogs and French fries two or three times a week.

I have a sister, called Ola, who is twenty-two and she is also a very good musician. She
plays the piano and she’s a fantastic singer. She’s living away from home at the moment too.
She’s a receptionist in a big hotel in London called the Piccadilly Plaza. Our dad is Polish
and our mum is English so we speak two languages. Ola can also speak French and
German and she talks to visitors from many different countries in her job. She normally
works at the weekend and is often tired because she works late. Our mum’s brother lives in
London so Ola’s staying with him and our cousins, Rachel and Jack. Rachel loves cooking
delicious food and she usually makes dinner for my sister.

Example: Kinga and Ola are sisters.
