1 ......................................
My name’s Mayra and I’m Brazilian, or maybe
Italian. I’m not sure. It’s because my mother is
Brazilian and my father is Italian. When people
ask “Where are you from?” I sometimes say “I’m
from Spain,” sometimes “I’m from Italy” and
sometimes “I don’t know!” The problem is that I
live in Brazil for most of the year but in the
summer I’m in Italy with my uncle, aunt and
cousins. They’re from Rome.
2 .....................................
I’m Pascal and I’m French, but my grandfather isSpanish. My complete name is Pascal García. I’m
from Paris but I’m in Spain in the holidays. My
brother lives in Madrid, and my sister in
Barcelona but they are both French, like me. I
speak Spanish very well and sometimes I pretend
I am from Spain!

Read the article and decide which picture isbest.
Abbie Hook is a young and successful pop star.
Everybody likes her songs and her records sell
millions. She’s got money, she’s got a fast car,
she’s got a big house at the beach and she’s
famous. But is she happy?
This is what Abbie says: ‘Many people think that if
you’ve got everything you want, you are happy,
but this is not always true.’
Her brother, Ben, is her manager. ‘Abbie is only
nineteen and she hasn’t got much experience.
She’s fortunate because she does a job that she
really likes but the problem she’s got is that she
doesn’t want to be famous.’
Abbie continues: ‘When I go shopping, reporters
ask me about the things I buy. When I’m in the
street I’m never alone. People expect me to be a
pop star 24 hours a day. I know I’m very lucky but
sometimes I just want to be a normal person,
doing normal things.’
Read the article again and decide if thesesentences are true or false.
1 Abbie’s got two cars. False
2 Her house is in the mountains. ...........................

Read the text and find:
four school subjects: art,
...............................................................................
four verbs of daily routine: get up,
...............................................................................
five times of day: 11.00,
...............................................................................
Parents are not very happy about a revolutionary
project in Newcastle in the north of England, but
the local kids love it.
This is the idea: Secondary school, for children
from 11 to 18, doesn’t start until eleven o’clock,
which means the children don’t get up at a
normal time like half past seven. They get up at
ten o’clock! The first class of the day is always a
subject in which you don’t write much, like art ormusic, because most people don’t like writing
when they first get to school. Then the children
have subjects like maths or French before they
have lunch at twenty to three.
Darrel, who is 13, says ‘I think the idea is great! I
don’t go to bed until two o’clock in the morning so
I can watch all the late films on television!’
His mother, Laura, doesn’t agree. ‘I think it’s a
terrible idea,’ she says.
Read the article again and answer thesequestions.

In Newcastle.

............................................................................
3 What happens at ten o’clock?
