My first day at school

My name’s Betty Stewart and I’m an English teacher. I was twenty-two years old
when I got my first teaching job. I remember my first day very well!
The day didn’t start well. I got up early and got dressed. Then I dropped my cereal
all over my new skirt. I quickly put on clean clothes. I picked up my bag and went to
the bus stop. I saw a lot of people waiting for the bus. I asked a woman, “Why are
there so many people?” She said “There’s a lot of traffic in the city centre and all the
buses are late.” So, I decided to walk to school.
I only had half an hour before my first lesson. I walked very quickly. After some time
I could see the school at the end of the road. I felt very happy. Suddenly it started
to rain. I ran fast but I was very wet when I arrived at school. When I got to my
classroom I was five minutes late and I looked wet and horrible. At first, my new
students looked surprised when they saw me. Then they all smiled and said, “Good
morning Miss Stewart!” I smiled back and said “Good morning class!” After that, the
day got much better.

My dream day

My name’s Lucy. My favourite singer is called Jimmy B. He’s very famous and when
he was younger he was a student at our school. Our music teacher knows Jimmy B
and asked him to visit us. He said, “yes” and last Tuesday he came to our school.
I was very excited on that day and I couldn’t wait to see Jimmy B. I went into the
music room with all the other students and sat down. Jimmy B came into the room
and talked to us about how he started singing and playing rock music. Then he sang
his new song, ‘Summer time’. It was great!
After Jimmy B left we went back to our classrooms for our afternoon lessons. While
I was in my maths lesson, the music teacher came in and asked to see me and my
friend Mary. My music teacher said that a journalist from our town’s newspaper
wanted to talk to some students about Jimmy B’s visit to our school. We couldn’t
believe it! We went to the school office where we answered some questions and the
journalist took a photo of us. Yesterday my mum showed me our town newspaper.
On the front page there was a picture of Jimmy B and a picture of me and Mary!
It was like a dream!

The wrong suitcase

Last month, Harry went on holiday with his mum and dad. They went to a cheap
hotel by the sea for a week. Harry was very happy because they were travelling by
plane. It was Harry’s first time in a plane. When they landed at the airport, Harry
and his parents went to get their suitcases. His parents had a big red suitcase and
Harry had a small one with black stripes.
Then they took a taxi to their hotel. Harry thought the hotel was excellent because
it had a very big swimming pool. Harry wanted to go for a swim before he did
anything else. He went to his room and opened his suitcase to get his swimming
shorts. Harry was very surprised when he opened his suitcase. It was full of dresses!
It wasn’t Harry’s suitcase! His mum found a name and phone number in the suitcase
and she called the number. The woman on the phone said she had Harry’s suitcase.
That afternoon Harry and his parents met the woman. She was very happy to get
her suitcase back and she wanted to thank them. The woman was very rich and the
next day Harry and his parents had lunch with her – on her boat! It was Harry’s
best holiday!

Dinosaur fun!

My name’s Katy and I love sweets! My favourite ones are called ‘Dinosaur Sweets’.
Each sweet looks like a dinosaur and they taste of different kinds of fruit. Last month
I visited my grandpa and he bought me a big bag of dinosaur sweets. On the back of
the bag it said there was a competition. For the competition, you had to paint a pic-
ture of a dinosaur. I love painting and so I got my paints out and designed a picture.
My dinosaur was blue and purple and had big orange teeth! I sent my picture to the
address on the bag of sweets the next day.
I forgot about the competition and then three weeks later a woman phoned me.
She said, “I have some good news for you. You have won the painting competition!”
I couldn’t believe it! It was a big surprise!
I won lots of great things. They sent me a Dinosaur backpack, T-shirt and pencil
case for my prize. They also invited me and my family to visit the factory where
they make the sweets. It was very exciting and they gave me and my sister lots
of sweets! The best thing is that my picture is now on the front of every bag of
Dinosaur Sweets!

Actors

1 dream about. Every day we on the radio
2 and TV about the exciting times famous
actors. We read about their big houses, fast cars and expensive
3 clothes. Magazines are full of photos of actors at
parties and restaurants. It looks fun and easy to act but for many
4 actors it’s a hard job.
5 Lots of actors start acting when they are children.
6 Many actors get their first job in the theatre.

actors get rich and famous. Many actors do not have a lot of

My hospital surprise!

My name is Helen Jones and my favourite sport is volleyball. I play volleyball for
the school team and last week we had an important game. In the second half
of the game, I fell over and hurt my arm. I couldn’t move my arm and it hurt a
lot. My sports teacher called for an ambulance and they took me to hospital. The
doctors looked at my arm and said, “It’s broken.” I couldn’t believe it! I was sad
because I couldn’t play volleyball but also because our school skiing holiday was
the next day!
The doctors said, “Sorry, you can’t go skiing because you need to stay in hospital
for one night.” I was so unhappy that night when I thought about the holiday. Then
something amazing happened the next day that helped me forget about the holiday.
I was having lunch in the hospital when Robert Black, my favourite volleyball player,
walked into the room! He was in hospital to see a doctor about his leg so he decided
to visit the children in the hospital. I talked to him about volleyball and a nurse took
a photo of us together. That photo’s on my bedroom shelf now! It was much more
exciting than a skiing holiday!
