Read about your schoolbag and answer the questions below.

What is there in YOUR school bag?

Many school children aged between 11-14 carry too much in their school bags.

One third of all school children in Italy, for example, have bags which weigh 30% of their body weight. Doctors say children should only carry 10-15% of their body weight. If they carry more they can suffer from serious back pains in the future.

However, there is more than just textbooks in school bags. The contents of a typical school bag often include notebooks, files, lunch boxes, bottles of water or juice, pencil cases, P.E. or sports kits and non-school materials. The non-school materials include things like expensive calculators, mobile phones, mp3/mp4 players, laptops, hand-held computer games and lucky mascots at exam time. This means that an average schoolbag can cost as much as €440. Children who live in large cities, such as London, are more in danger of having their school bags stolen.

The best thing to do is to carry only the books you need for that day and leave the non-school materials at home so they are neither broken nor stolen. Another good idea is to buy a school bag which is ergonomic to protect your back and if you carry a rucksack it should be on both shoulders.

For more information about ergonomic school bags you can visit this website: www.ergonomicschoolbags.co.uk/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/2950475.stm insurance-points-out-school-bag-costs/

http://www.moneynews.co.uk/7235/axa-

Reading 1. Read the text about your school bag and decide if the statements are TRUE, FALSE or it DOESN’T SAY. TRUE FALSE DOESN’T SAY a. Many school children have heavy bags.    b. Many students carry personal objects.    c. London is a dangerous city.    d. You should carry all your school books.    e. You should buy a comfortable school bag.   

Speaking 1. Match the words with the appropriate form of the question.

An apple

a calculator

notebooks

fruit

a history book

Is there…?

a ruler

an mp3

pencils

Are there…?

2. What is the correct rule for using Is there...? or Are there...?: A: With Is there...? we use singular words or uncountable words and Are there...? with plural words.

B: With Is there...? we use words with a/an or food and Are there...? with words ending in ‘s’.

3. In pairs try to discover what is in your classmate’s schoolbag.

Ask him/her Is there a...? Are there...?

Is there a pencil case in your bag?
