READING
Hi, my name is Tina. I am thirteen years old and today I want to talk about my best friend
Selena. She is my classmate and she is thirteen years old too. We go to a very big school in
Scotland. Our favourite lessons are Arts and Physical Education. I am very good at tennis and
she is very good at volleyball. She plays volleyball at our school team. We both have a busy
life.
We always get up at six thirty and at seven o’clock, her father takes us to school by car. They
live next door to us, so after school, we always do our homework, walk our dogs and play
together. Our classes start at seven thirty and finish at 4 p.m.
Selena’s mother is a nurse. My mother is a nurse too and they work at the same hospital. Our
fathers are both engineers but they work at different companies. On Mondays, Selena has a
violin class and I have a piano class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she practices volleyball at
the school’s gym and I play tennis in our school court. Friday is my favourite day because
Selena stays overnight with us. At the weekends, we usually go to the movie theatre or have a
picnic if the weather is good.
Last summer, we went to the beach on holiday because the weather was very hot in the
mountains. The travel agent said that travelling by bus was the cheapest way, but we went by
plane because it was faster. We wanted to have more time to spend on the beach. The weather
was beautiful and we had a great time.
