Then and now Last weekend, I saw my cousin Louise. The last time I saw her was six years ago, and she has changed a lot. She was eight then, and she was short and well-built, and she wore glasses. Now she’s really different. She’s tall and slim, and she plays a lot of sport. She doesn’t wear glasses either. Louise goes to secondary school now, and she plays volleyball for the school team. At the moment, she’s got a broken arm because she had an accident two weeks ago. Louise normally cycles everywhere, but she can’t go cycling at the moment because of her arm. At school, her favourite subjects are the same as mine: art and P.E. When she leaves school, she wants to be a designer or a P.E. teacher. Six years ago, Louise came on holiday with me and my family. We went to France and Louise and I stayed in a tent together. There were insects in her sleeping bag and my mum forgot to take some insect repellent. It was very sunny and Louise got sunburn too. I remember that she wasn’t very happy. This summer, she’s going to come to the beach with us. I think that it will be much better this year, but she should take some suncream this time! Kerry (15)

Read the text. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)? My school life When I started at this school, my first impressions weren’t very good. I didn’t know anyone, so I felt worried and shy. I thought my classmates were very quiet, and the school was big and unfriendly. But after a few weeks I felt much better. I was more relaxed, and I started to make new friends. Now I really enjoy going to school. I see my friends here every day, and I like most of my classes. This year I’m studying ten subjects. My favourite subject is geography. At the moment we’re doing a project about the environment. It’s about the way the world’s temperature is increasing, and its effect on the weather. I’m definitely interested in studying geography at univeristy. I also go to an after-school club at school. The after-school club is a place where you do other activities, like sports or creative things. I go there twice a week. At the moment we’re learning to edit digital photographs on the computer. I think that it’s really exciting. Most of my teachers here are nice. The best teacher is Mrs Hammond, my geography teacher. At first, I didn’t like Mrs Hammond because I thought she was too strict. But in fact she’s very friendly. The only teacher I don’t like is Mr Brown. He’s really moody and he gives us too much homework. Becky (15) 1 Becky always loved her school. 2 Now she enjoys a lot of her classes. 3 Becky wants to study geography at university. 4 Becky goes to the after-school club every day. 5 At first, Becky thought Mrs Hammond was too relaxed.

Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)? The Gap Year Every year, thousands of students take a ‘gap year’ – like a year’s holiday – before they go to university. Others take their gap year after university, before they start looking for a job. This idea has become very popular in Britain and Ireland, and 200,000 students took a gap year last year. What do these students do during the year? Many of them do voluntary work, and others travel around the world. They definitely return with some fantastic memories! Robert, 18, has just decided to take a gap year before he goes to London University. He’s never travelled before, so he feels a little nervous. ‘I’ll probably do voluntary work in the USA,’ he says. ‘I want to go to a place where I can speak the language. I’m interested in working in a national park, because I’m going to study geography at university.’ Tamsin, 19, has just returned from her gap year. She’s visited Europe, Australia and Africa. Tamsin travelled with her best friend Lizzie, and they had different jobs while they were going around the world. ‘I’ve been a waitress in a café, and I’ve taught English in a small school in Kenya. The best thing I’ve learned is to be more responsible. I’ve made a lot of friends during my gap year. It was a fantastic experience and I definitely recommend it!’ 1 Two hundred thousand young people took a gap year last year. _____ 2 Students often do voluntary work during their gap year. _____ 3 Robert wants to go to Africa. _____ 4 Robert is going to study English. _____ 5 Tamsin says that she has made a lot of friends during her gap year. ___ 12 Read the text again.

Read the text. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)? What are you crazy about? I’ve always loved ballet. When I was little, I went to the theatre with my mum to watch famous ballets. I loved the atmosphere of the theatre, and all the costumes. Then I started dancing when I was six. I’m fifteen now, so I’ve danced for nine years. It isn’t easy, but I really enjoy it. I practise every day, and I go to ballet classes three times a week. I’ve competed in some dancing competitions, and I’ve won two trophies. I want to go to ballet school in London next year. Perhaps I’ll be a famous ballerina! Jessica, 15 I’m crazy about motocross. I was fourteen when I started riding a motorbike. My parents thought it was just a craze, but now I’m seventeen and I’ve won the Regional Youth Championship. I’ve always loved riding bikes. I learned to ride my first bike when I was only four, and I haven’t stopped since then. Motocross is really exciting, but it can be dangerous. You must wear a helmet and special clothes. I had a bad accident two years ago, and I broke my leg. I was in hospital for three weeks, but then I continued riding. I can’t live without it! Toby, 17 1 Jessica’s mum took her to the ballet. ______ 2 Jessica started ballet when she was four. ______ 3 Jessica goes to ballet classes every week. ______ 4 Toby hasn’t won any competitions. ______ 5 Toby has never been in hospital. ______ 12 Read the text again.
