A- READING COMPREHENSION.-

1. Read about Julie.

Hello, I’m Julie Andrews. I live in Newquay, in
Cornwall in the South of England. I’m 11 and I go to St
Michael’s School. It’s a great school and I’ve got a lot of
friends there. There’s a new sports centre near my school and I
play basketball there three times a week. I also like cycling
and swimming.
I’ve got two brothers, Tim and Oscar. Tim is 14 and he
likes making model planes. Oscar is 13 and he loves video
games. They don’t like sports but at the weekend we usually
take our dog for walks in the park.
In our family my dad always cooks. He’s mad about
cooking. He makes us lots of healthy food-fruit and
vegetables and things like that. He’s cooking supper now. We’re having a barbecue. Mum isn’t
helping him. She hates cooking!
