one with meat, a vegetarian option and a salad bar, too.
At 1.45 there is a meeting. The students and teachers talk about problems and can change school
rules in this meeting. Then there are free-time activities: orchestra practice, drama group or sport.
Ivan goes shopping in town. Susan plays the violin with the orchestra.
At 5.30 it is dinner time. After dinner students chat and do homework. Younger children go to

Passage 2
Mary's email message:
To: School friends
From: Mary Jones
Subject: Summer Camp
Sent: October, 29, 15:24
Hi everyone,
Do you get bored with your summer holiday? Then, why not join me this year at summer camp?
It's great fun and you meet new friends. I go every year, and this year the organizers want us to
send in new ideas for activities.
You can choose two activities in the morning and two in the afternoon. There's usually a variety of
activities including sports, music, dance, drama, games, and art. I always choose sports in the
morning because it's really hot in the afternoon. I love doing judo, and playing table tennis.
We never do cooking, so I think we can do that. My brother's interested in computers, and he
wants to write his own blog, so he asks we can do computer activities. Can you come to the
summer camp? What activities do you want to do? Please email me soon.
Hope you can come!
