Catch Up With English!

Quaderno di recupero e potenziamento della LINGUA INGLESE per la Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado

Introduzione Welcome to

Catch Up With English!

Catch Up With English = recuperare, rimettersi in pari con l’inglese

Ciao, sono Mel e ti aiuterò a riprendere l’inglese da dove l’abbiamo lasciato con l’interruzione della scuola L’anno scolastico appena concluso è stato un anno molto speciale. Il secondo quadrimestre lo abbiamo passato a casa a studiare sul computer o il tablet, senza poter incontrare i nostri insegnanti e i nostri amici. In certi giorni è andato tutto liscio, ma in altri abbiamo avuto qualche difficoltà perché improvvisamente abbiamo dovuto dimostrare di essere autonomi e molto più responsabili di quanto ci era mai stato chiesto prima.

Sicuramente è stata un’esperienza molto formativa e una grande prova da affrontare come studenti!

Con Catch Up With English ci rimettiamo in pari con lo studio della lingua inglese.

Possiamo dimostrare di aver sviluppato tante competenze! È diviso in tre steps:

Step 1

Qui troviamo un approfondimento degli argomenti di grammatica con tutte le spiegazioni in italiano e tanti esercizi per fare pratica.

Step 2

In queste 8 unità ripassiamo tutti gli argomenti di grammatica, lessico e comunicazione attraverso letture interessanti, esercizi divertenti, giochi e tante curiosità.

Step 3

La parte finale del libro ci sarà utile per il rientro in classe a settembre. Grazie alle verifiche e alle prove delle competenze potremo dimostrare di aver acquisito diverse competenze e approfondito tante conoscenze.

So, are you ready to catch up with your English?

Enjoy your summer!

I pronomi personali soggetto vanno sempre prima del verbo: He is my cousin. = È mio cugino.

• Il pronome di prima persona singolare I si scrive sempre con la maiuscola: I’m Tim and I’m a student. = Sono Tim e sono uno studente.

• Il pronome you corrisponde ai pronomi italiani “tu” e “voi”, e viene usato anche per il “Lei”: How are you, Mr Tanner? = Come sta, signor Tanner?

• Dei pronomi alla terza persona singolare, he si usa per le persone di sesso maschile, she per le persone di sesso femminile, it per le cose e gli animali: He’s a teacher. = Lui è un insegnante.

She is a cyclist. = Lei è una ciclista.

It’s a sunny day. = È una giornata soleggiata.

It’s my dog. = È il mio cane.

Osserva le immagini e scrivi il pronome personale soggetto corrispondente.

be : il Present simple Forma affermativa Estesa I am you are he / she / it is we are you are they are

Contratta

Estesa

I’m you’re he’s / she’s / it’s we’re you’re they’re

Forma interrogativa Am I... ?

Are you... ?

Is he / she / it... ?

Are we... ?

Are you... ?

Are they... ?

Forma negativa Contratta

I am not you are not he / she / it is not we are not you are not they are not

I’m not you aren’t he / she / it isn’t we aren’t you aren’t they aren’t

Risposte brevi Affermative

Negative

Yes, you are.

Yes, I am.

Yes, he / she / it is.

Yes, we are.

Yes, you are.

Yes, they are.

No, you aren’t.

No, I am not.

No, he / she / it isn’t.

No, we aren’t.

No, you aren’t.

No, they aren’t.

Il Present simple del verbo be ha tre voci alla forma affermativa: am, is, are.

I am a girl. = Io sono una ragazza.

La forma negativa si ottiene aggiungendo not dopo il verbo: You are not American. = Tu non sei americano.

La forma interrogativa si ottiene invertendo soggetto e verbo. Le risposte non sono mai un semplice “Sì” o “No”, ma sono invece: Yes / No + il pronome personale soggetto + be: ‘Are you English?’ ‘Yes, I am.’ = “Sei inglese?” “Sì, lo sono.”

La forma contratta viene di solito utilizzata nell’inglese parlato e in quello scritto informale.

Ricorda che: Nelle risposte brevi le forme contratte si utilizzano solo alla forma negativa, mai a quella affermativa.

Gli usi del verbo be Il verbo be si usa: • per presentarsi: I’m Andy. = Sono Andy.

• per chiedere e dire da dove si viene: ‘Where are you from?’ ‘I’m from Milan.’ = “Da dove vieni?” “Vengo da Milano.”

• per chiedere e dire l’età: ‘How old are you?’ ‘I’m 14 years old.’ = “Quanti anni hai?” “Ho 14 anni.”

• per chiedere e dire come stiamo: ‘How are you?’ ‘I’m fine.’ = “Come stai?” “Sto bene.”; I’m happy. = Sono felice.

• per indicare una condizione: Today it’s very hot. = Oggi fa molto caldo.; They are late! = Sono in ritardo!

6

Espressioni idiomatiche con il verbo be Alcune espressioni italiane che utilizzano il verbo avere per indicare uno stato d’animo o una condizione sono rese in inglese con una costruzione con il verbo be + aggettivo: • be right / wrong = avere ragione / torto: Stella is right / wrong. = Stella ha ragione / torto.

• be cold / hot = avere freddo / caldo: She’s really cold. = Ha molto freddo.

• be afraid = aver paura: I’m afraid of snakes. = Ho paura dei serpenti.

• be sleepy = avere sonno: The cat is very sleepy today. = Il gatto ha molto sonno oggi.

L’ora e le parti della giornata Per chiedere che ore sono e per rispondere a questa domanda si usa il verbo be alla terza persona singolare: ‘What time is it?’ ‘It’s three o’clock.’ = “Che ore sono?” “Sono le tre.”

Ricorda che: L’espressione o’clock indica l’ora precisa: It’s eight o’clock. = Sono le otto in punto.

Per indicare le ore da mezzanotte a mezzogiorno si aggiunge a.m. (anti meridiem, prima di mezzogiorno) dopo l’indicazione dell’ora. Per indicare invece le ore da mezzogiorno a mezzanotte si aggiunge p.m. (post meridiem, dopo mezzogiorno): It’s ten a.m. = Sono le dieci di mattina.

It’s five p.m. = Sono le cinque di pomeriggio.

Per dire quanto tempo è passato dopo l’ora esatta si usa past: It’s ten past five. = Sono le cinque e dieci.

Per dire invece quanto manca allo scoccare dell’ora esatta si usa to: It’s twenty-five to three. = Mancano venticinque minuti alle tre.

It’s a quarter past eleven in the morning.

Il plurale dei nomi

6

Generalmente il plurale dei nomi si ottiene aggiungendo -s al nome singolare: book → books.

Se il nome singolare termina in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -o, -z, gli si aggiunge -es: bus → buses; box → boxes.

Ricorda che: Alcuni nomi che terminano in -o aggiungono solo la -s: photos, discos, pianos, videos, radios.

Se il nome singolare termina con -y preceduta da una consonante, si toglie la -y e si aggiunge -ies: country → countries; se la -y è preceduta da una vocale, si aggiunge semplicemente la -s: boy → boys.

Se il nome singolare termina con -fe o -f, questi si tolgono e si aggiunge -ves: life → lives; shelf → shelves. apple word month

campus boss bush peach mix tomato

+ -es

+ -s

+ -ies

- f + -ves

Alcuni plurali sono irregolari, cioè cambiano, tutta o in parte, la forma del singolare: Singolare child man tooth person woman foot mouse

Plurale children men teeth people women feet mice

Ricorda che: In alcuni casi il singolare e il plurale hanno la stessa forma: one fish → two fish one sheep → two sheep

Scrivi il plurale o il singolare dei seguenti nomi.

Il genitivo sassone (possessive ’s) In inglese il possesso o il rapporto tra persone si esprime con il genitivo sassone.

Si forma con il nome del possessore + ’s + nome della cosa o della persona, senza l’articolo: It’s Sue’s purse. = È la borsetta di Sue. She’s David’s mum. = È la mamma di David.

It is Sue’s purse. È la borsetta di Sue.

She’s David’s mum. È la mamma di David.

Ricorda che: Quando due persone possiedono qualcosa insieme si aggiunge ’s alla seconda persona: This is Ann and Jamie’s house. = Questa è la casa di Ann e Jamie.

Ai nomi che terminano in -s e ai plurali regolari si aggiunge solo l’apostrofo: Ben is James’ friend. = Ben è l’amico di James.

Andrew is the girls’ brother. = Andrew è il fratello delle ragazze.

Ricorda che: ’s può essere: • is, terza persona singolare di be: Anne’s happy. = Anne è felice.

• has, terza persona singolare di have got: Anne’s got two sisters. = Anne ha due sorelle.

• ’s che esprime possesso: This is Anne’s mobile phone. = Questo è il cellulare di Anne.

whose Per chiedere a chi appartiene qualcosa si usa whose, che può essere usato: • come aggettivo: Whose tablet is it? = Di chi è questo tablet?

• come pronome: Whose is the yellow T-shirt? = Di chi è la maglietta gialla?

They live in Spain. = Vivono in Spagna.

Water boils at 100°C. = L’acqua bolle a 100°C. Ricorda che: Il Present simple si usa anche per riferirsi a determinate situazioni future, si usa cioè per: •

indicare o chiedere gli orari (di mezzi di trasporto, spettacoli, ecc.): ‘What time does the train to Glasgow leave tomorrow?’ ‘It leaves at half past five.’ = “A che ora parte il treno per Glasgow domain?” “Parte alle cinque e mezza.”

Hurry up, the show begins at 8 o’clock, and I don’t want to miss it! = Sbrigati, lo spettacolo inizia alle 8 in punto e non voglio perderlo!

•

programmi prestabiliti: The open ceremony is on 12th December. = La cerimonia di inaugurazione è il 12 dicembre.

The art course starts in February and ends in July. = Il corso di arte inizia/inizierà a febbraio e finisce/finirà a luglio.

Regole ortografiche per la formazione della terza persona singolare I verbi che terminano in -ch, -sh, -ss, -x, -zz e -o aggiungono -es alla terza persona singolare: watch → watches; wash → washes; kiss → kisses; relax → relaxes; buzz → buzzes; do → does.

I verbi che terminano in consonante + -y cambiano la y in -ies, mentre i verbi che terminano in vocale + -y aggiungono regolarmente -s: study → studies; play → plays.

I verbi di gradimento

17

Alcuni verbi come like = piacere, love = amare, hate = odiare, enjoy = divertirsi, godersi qualcosa sono detti verbi di gradimento. Sono seguiti da verbi alla forma in -ing di un altro verbo: eat → eating; play → playing: I like playing tennis. = Mi piace giocare a tennis.

Variazioni ortografiche

• Se il verbo termina con una -e muta questa si elimina prima di aggiungere -ing: make → making.

• Se il verbo termina con una vocale + una consonante, si raddoppia la consonante finale, prima di aggiungere -ing: stop → stopping.

• Se il verbo termina in -ie, questo dittongo diventa y, poi si aggiunge -ing: lie → lying.

Il verbo like

In inglese il verbo like = piacere, ha una costruzione particolare, diversa da quella italiana: soggetto (cioè la persona a cui piace qualcosa) + like + oggetto (ciò che piace): I like pizza. = Mi piace la pizza.

Tony doesn’t like folk music. = A Tony non piace la musica folk.

So do I / Neither do I Frase affermativa I like pizza.

He’s got a bike.

They went home.

You are hungry.

I’d like some tea.

Amélie can speak French.

Accordo So do I. So has he.

So did they.

So are you.

So would I. So can she.

Frase negativa I don’t like pizza.

He hasn’t got a bike.

They didn’t go home.

You aren’t hungry.

I wouldn’t like some tea.

Amélie can’t speak French.

Disaccordo I don’t.

He hasn’t.

They didn’t.

You are not.

I wouldn’t.

Neither/Nor do I. Neither/Nor has he.

Neither/Nor did they.

Neither/Nor are you.

Neither/Nor would I. Neither/Nor can she.

I do.

He has.

They did.

You are.

I would.

She can.

Per esprimere accordo con un’affermazione si può dire So do I o Me too. Per esprimere accordo con una negazione si usa Neither do I. ‘I like fruit salad.’ ‘Me too.’ = “A me piace la macedonia.” “Anche a me.”

‘I don’t understand.’ ‘Neither do I.’ = “Non capisco.” “Neanche io.”

Se non si è d’accordo si dice I don’t.

I like listening to hip hop.’ ‘I don’t!’ = “Mi piace ascoltare l’hip hop.” “A me no.”

Gli avverbi che descrivono come viene compiuta un’azione vengono chiamati avverbi di modo, e seguono il verbo o l’oggetto del verbo cui si riferiscono.

Gli avverbi regolari si formano aggiungendo -ly all’aggettivo: calm → calmly.

Ricorda che: Alcuni avverbi subiscono delle variazioni ortografiche: • se l’aggettivo finisce in -y, si cambia -y in -ily: angry → angrily; • se l’aggettivo finisce in -ic, si aggiunge -ally: fantastic → fantastically; • se l’aggettivo finisce in -ble, si cambia -ble in -bly: terrible → terribly.

Alcuni avverbi sono irregolari: • cambiano totalmente rispetto all’aggettivo: good → well: This coffee is good. = Questo caffè è buono.

Tobey sings well. = Tobey canta bene.

• sono uguali all’aggettivo: fast → fast: Your car is really fast. = La tua macchina è veloce.

John runs fast. = John corre velocemente.

• sono uguali all’aggettivo, ma hanno un diverso significato: late → late: This morning the bus is half an hour late. = Questa mattina l’autobus è in ritardo di mezz’ora.

Geography

Maps

Geography is the study of the planet earth and its people. The word ‘geography’, used* for the first time by Eratosthenes of Cyrene, is from the Greek: geo is ‘earth’ and graphia is ‘description’.

Compass* points indicate the directions North, South, East and West.

A map is divided* by lines of latitude* and longitude.* The lines of latitude are horizontal and run from zero degrees* in the centre (the Equator) to 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. The lines of latitude are all parallel.

The lines of longitude are vertical and they all meet at the North and South Poles. The zero is the Greenwich Meridian Line and the lines of longitude go from 0° to 180° East and 180° West.

Geographical coordinates* represent any* point on the earth’s surface and are a series of numbers; the first numbers are the latitude (North or South of the Equator) and the second numbers are the longitude (East or West of The Greenwich Meridian). For example, the geographical coordinates of Rome are: 41.9° N, 12.4° E.

The word ‘fraction’ is from the Latin fractio, ‘to break’.* The total of the numbers 1 to 100 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5...) is 5,050.

It is easy to know if any number is divisible by 3. Total the digits* of the number and check if* it is divisible by 3. (For example 642 = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 and 12 is divisible by 3 and so 642 is also divisible by 3!)

MODERN BRAILLE

Main Device: Interpretation Bluetooth Ear phone Tactile Sensor Power

With modern hardware and software applications, blind* people have now got the opportunity to use email, read documents, write, browse* the Internet, chat on the Internet, download files, and burn* music too. There are even smartphones with Braille technology. There is also Braille on every* box of medicine and there are special road maps and musical scores* for blind people to read.

The Braille interpreter is a technological glove,* headphones and a bluetooth connection. The glove has got a tactile sensor and interpreter software. The software translates* the Braille from the book to audio and the person listens to the voice on his earphones.

The Braille computer display A Braille display translates the text on an e-book or computer into Braille on a special keyboard. The cells on the display change as the person reads the text.

But what is Braille?

Braille is a system of six dots* in individual cells.

Each cell represents a letter, number or word.

The Bento Box Do your parents tell you not to play with your food? Well, great artists don’t always listen to their parents and Japanese artist Mari Miyazawa regularly plays with food when she creates her Bento boxes for her children to take to school!

A Bento is the lunch box Japanese people take to work or school.

A basic Bento is divided into two parts: there is rice in one half* and eggs, vegetables, meat or fish in the other half. Like many other Japanese arts, beautiful but complicated Bento boxes follow several rules. An important rule is the 4-3-2-1 rule: 4 parts rice, 3 parts protein (meat, fish or eggs), 2 parts vegetable and 1 part for something especially tasty!*

Glossary half metà tasty saporito to look like assomigliare a

There are many different styles of Bento; kyraben (character bento) decorates the food to look like* popular characters from Japanese cartoons, comics or video games. Another style is oekakiben or picture bento. These Bento boxes look like people, animals, buildings and flowers.

There are also similar forms of Bento boxes in the Philippines (called Baon), Korea (Dosirak), Taiwan (Biandang) and India (Tiffin) and Hawaii.

Look at these incredible pictures of how Japanese parents prepare their children’s lunch!

5 But what is a normal day for Avicii?

On a typical tour day, he gets up and usually goes to the airport, catches a flight, drives to the hotel, relaxes for a couple of hours, goes to the gig,* plays his music, and then goes back to the hotel to go to bed.

He usually watches an episode of a TV series before he goes to sleep. When he wakes up, he goes to the airport again and takes another flight to a different city.

Because of his crazy lifestyle,* he never eats regular meals and he doesn’t often listen to music in his free time. In fact, when he has got some free time, he prefers silence and spends time with his girlfriend Emily and their dog, Bear. He also sees his old friends from school days when it is possible and always introduces them to his new superstar friends.

MUSICAL STYLES Nowadays rap and hip hop music are two successful music genres.

HIP HOP has its origins in the Bronx in New York and is a form of communication for many young people around the world. RAP is a distinctive style of talking over a musical beat* with rhyming lyrics.* The rappers ‘rap’ angrily* about love, politics and social change. Rap competitions, called ‘battles’, are also very common.

The world of music is enormous and is divided into many different genres; for example rap, pop, rock, punk, classical, blues, reggae, folk and electronic are all styles of music.

The ‘POP’ in pop music is from the word ‘popular’. Pop is a mix of many different types of music and the songs generally play for three minutes and have a verse and chorus* structure, vocal harmonies and simple melodies. Many pop songs sing about love and sentiments and videos are an important part of the final pop product.

It’s very easy to dance to pop music!

PUNK music generally uses three basic instruments: a guitar, a bass guitar and drums. Punk music is almost always fast, has got short, aggressive songs and the lyrics often speak against the mainstream* culture. Many punk musicians produce their music independently and, like rap music, punk also has its own* strong sense of fashion.

Robinson Crusoe Life on the Island Do you remember the story of Robinson Crusoe? He survives a shipwreck* and swims to a desert island. What does he do during the day before he meets Friday?

At first, he sleeps in a tree but then he finds a cave and sleeps there. He builds a fire and his only family on the island is Poll the parrot, a dog, two cats and some goats.* Every day he swims to the shipwreck to find useful objects to take back to his island. He finds books and food on the ship. He makes a calendar on some wood with his knife.

He decides to build a camp in a location with fresh water, protection from the sun, and which is safe from attack and with a view of the sea. He also builds a table and chair and writes in his diary. His diary starts on the 30th of September 1659.

During the day, he takes care of* his vegetables and chickens. He explores the island and finds fruit on the other side: melons, grapes and lemons. Crusoe cooks everything on a fire and he makes clothes from animal skin. Soon he also builds a small canoe to explore the area around the island.

One day, he sees a footprint* in the sand and he realises that he’s not alone. There are other people on his island!

James David Rodríguez is a Colombian footballer who plays for the Spanish club Real Madrid. He is also a hero after his exceptional 2014 performance and winning the Golden Boot as the top goalscorer* of the World Cup Championship. Rodríguez was born in Cúcuta on the 12th of July, 1991. In his private life, Rodríguez is married to Daniela Ospina and they have got a daughter, Salomé. James isn’t the only sporting hero in the family; his wife Daniela is an international volleyball player and James often goes to watch her play.

Rodríguez is considered to be one of the best young players in the world for his technique, vision and footballing skills. He can play in the positions of attacking midfield* (the famous number ten) or wing.* He is a versatile player and can score goals, dribble and pass the ball very well. He is only young but he is already one of the most expensive football players in the world; his transfer to Real Madrid in 2014 cost* €80 million!

The Colombian captain Mario Yepes thinks that James Rodríguez is possibly the best player in the world.

‘He’s got incredible vision, great mobility and composure,* it’s like he plays at a different tempo’,* says Yepes. ‘When the ball travels to him, Rodríguez knows exactly what to do, before all the other players.

That makes such a difference in football and is particularly important in the position he plays.’

Can you survive for two weeks in the mountains with a group of friends? Most young people can’t but Outward Bound courses can help you learn to be part of a team, help others, make new friends and have a lot of fun at the same time!

The philosophy behind the courses is to: 1 put a motivated learner 2 into a new environment 3 with a small group 4 with problems to solve 5 creating a conflict to resolve in the group 6 and then finally a sense of competence when the situation

is resolved.

Your group of about ten people works as a team with many different activities including: map reading, orienteering, trekking, canoeing, mountaineering, rock climbing, sailing, skiing and snowboarding.

The objective is to teach you that you can do much more than you think.

At first the instructors help you but slowly slowly, as the team develops, the instructors leave you and your team to make the important final decisions. You learn how to assess* risks, lead your group, take responsibility for your actions and survive in the wilderness* with your friends!

The weather in Ireland can change very quickly and you need to be ready to change your clothes. There is also a Norwegian expression that says ‘Bad weather doesn’t exist, only the wrong clothes!’

Irish people learn how to dress correctly for the weather from a young age. They wear lots of layers* in winter, for example a T-shirt under a shirt with a couple of jumpers on top and a scarf and waterproof jacket for when you go outside. However, the houses are usually lovely and warm so be prepared to take off* some of your layers when you go inside. Don’t wear a horrible T-shirt because there is a chance* everyone will see it!

Summers are pleasant in Ireland but it often rains so it’s a good idea to bring an umbrella just in case!* The beaches in Ireland are beautiful but the water is often very cold; a swimming r costume* is great for the daytime but don’t forget a warm jumpe g. and jeans if you intend staying on the beach during the evenin

8 CLIL Science

Self-Cleaning Clothes!

*

We usually use soap and water to wash our clothes and remove stains* and smells.* However scientists are discovering ways to create clothes that clean themselves in the sun, without the need for a washing machine! Recent experiments show that a treatment* made from the right mix of chemicals on cotton can dissolve stains, kill bacteria and remove smells after only a couple of hours in the sun.

‘The technology can be used* with all types of fabrics’,* say scientist Mingce Long and his colleague Deyong Wu. They are both from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

The individual cotton threads* in clothes are covered with the chemical mix and this mix contains photocatalysts which react directly with sunlight. A photocatalyst is a material that starts a chemical reaction when exposed to light.

The experiments are still in progress and the scientists can’t sell their self-cleaning cotton yet; they still need to make sure* the treated cotton isn’t dangerous for the people who wear their clothes. But Long says that he hopes to wear self-cleaning clothes one day and never use a washing machine again.

‘Someday in the future, when I’m walking on the street,’ he says, ‘I hope people are wearing self-cleaning clothes from my technology.’

One day Robin saves the life of Lady Marian and her brother, Sir Allan, from a bandit.

Father, I want to be the best archer in Sherwood Forest!

I see, you ARE the best, my son!

So Robin takes them home to meet his family.

And this is my good friend, Friar* Tuck.

Hi, I’m Jenny. I’m fifteen years old and I live in a big city called

Manchester in the North of England. Me and my brother, Shaun, go to the Manchester Academy, it’s near the Whitworth Art Gallery and the University of Manchester.

Our school has got lots of different classrooms: Science and Technology labs, two Art studios, four Language labs and four IT classrooms, a Drama studio, a library, a gymnasium, a canteen and sports fields outside the school. My favourite subjects are Art, Drama and PE, but I don’t like French or Spanish.

We wear a uniform to school every day and today I’ve also got my

football kit in my backpack because we’ve got a match at lunchtime.

After school, me and my friends go to the park, or chat at my friend Hannah’s house.

Hey! My name’s Jack, I’m fourteen and I’m from a small town called

Marlborough in the South of England. I go to the local school, St John’s. It’s got two libraries, a restaurant and a café, not a canteen! There are also five IT rooms with 60 computers and a big hall for music concerts.

I study the clarinet at school and I am in the school orchestra and jazz band.

In fact I love music, but I don’t like Maths and Science!

There are lots of sports facilities at our school.

We don’t wear a uniform to school on Fridays.

After school I go to the swimming pool or to the park to play basketball with my friends.

Hello, I’m Sharon, a sixteen-year-old student at Albyn School in Aberdeen in Scotland. Our school is near

the sea and the mountains, so at weekends I go for a walk or spend time on the water with my friends. There are lots of restaurants, shops, theatres and cinemas in the city of Aberdeen, so there are plenty of things to do in the winter too! We’ve got IT classrooms, Music rooms, Art and Design studios and lots of other classrooms in our school. My favourite subjects are Science, Maths and IT, but I also like languages such as French and Chinese.

I have lunch in the school canteen every day, the food is awesome!

There are lots of after-school clubs at Albyn School. I go to the Science club on Monday, the photography club on Wednesday and I play tennis on Friday. It’s great!

Hi, I’m Heidi and I’m thirteen. I’m from a town called Keswick in the north-west of England. When I don’t have a lot of homework, I love taking photos. It’s my new hobby! Keswick is in a beautiful part of England called the Lake District so there is lots of opportunity to take some amazing photos of the mountains and the lakes. I’ve got a really good camera and it takes great photos.

I don’t like chatting to friends online or watching videos at home. I prefer being outside. I also like doing sport. I play volleyball pretty well and in the summer, I like going cycling with my friends. I also go horse riding on Sundays. I can’t ride very well at the moment because I’m learning, but I love it!

Oh, and I speak German quite well too – my aunt is from Berlin so she’s teaching me German at the weekends.

Hi! My name’s Liam and I’m eleven. I’m from Lincoln in England. I play rugby three times a week after school. We’re preparing for the Regional Rugby Championships at the moment, so I’m quite tired but I love it. I can play quite well now but I train hard to keep my shoulders and arms strong.

I also do judo and go running in the mornings before school. At my birthday my mum always makes me a birthday cake in the shape of a rugby ball!

When I’m not playing rugby or running, I like listening to music or meeting my friends. We sometimes have an ice cream or a snack in the café near my house.

Our town is small but nice. There are a lot of things to do, such as visiting museums, going to the park or to the cinema. I really like going to the cinema with my friends on Saturday afternoon.

Hello, I’m Sara and I’m fourteen. I come from Leeds in the north of England. I love skiing!

Every year, I go skiing in northern Italy with my family and it’s just fantastic. I love the mountains and the cold weather. When I’m in England, I go to the dry-ski slope on Sundays with my dad. I’m still learning but I’m pretty good at skiing.

I also play basketball twice a week after school and I do gymnastics too but I’m not very good at it!

I eat healthily. For breakfast, I always have porridge and some toast and for lunch, I usually have a sandwich or salad.

I’m always hungry in the evenings so I sometimes have pasta or rice or steak and vegetables.

I’m a huge fan of Harry Styles, I go to all his concerts. He’s so cool! My favourite Harry Styles’s song is ‘Sign of the times’.

I think I’m in love with him!
