LET'S MEET PETER

Hi! I’m Peter. I am 10 years old and live with my parents in San Francisco. I am in the
fifth grade. In the United States we call that elementary school. I love playing sports,
watching cartoons and playing video games. Playing sports is fun and very good for
you.

I have a brother and a sister. My brother is 17 and is in his last year of High School. He
loves sports and going to parties. He never takes me to any parties but sometimes he
takes my sister and me to the beach. My sister’s name is Jane. She is 11. She loves
reading and playing soccer. She reads one or two books every week and watches every
soccer game on TV. She gets into trouble at school all the time because she doesn’t do
her homework. She pretends to pay attention in class but reads her books under the
desk. My parents sometimes make my brother help her with her homework. Very often
he just does her homework for her so that he can go out with his girlfriend.

I have a girlfriend too. Her name is Shenaaz. She moved to San Francisco with her
parents from Lebanon. She is very pretty. She speaks French and Arabic and is learning
English. She doesn’t have her own books yet so we sit together in class and I share my
books with her. On the weekend, she comes over and watches movies with my family
and me. Her parents like her to spend time at our house because she can learn English
with us. At home, they only speak French or Arabic.

When I grow up I want to be a policeman and help catch criminals. My teacher says I
will have to study hard so I will be smarter than the criminals. The cops on TV seem
really smart, so I make sure I get ‘A’s in everything so I can be smart like them. My
Dad is really smart too. He is a mechanic. He can fix any car in the world. He told me he
had to study really hard too. If I don’t become a cop, I want to become a mechanic and
fix people’s cars. I guess I will have to stop playing video games so much and study so
that I can be smart and help people when I grow up.
