READING COMPREHENSION

I have already started school. I’m ten years old and my name is Freddy.

I wear glasses and my hair is red. I love going to school because it is fun. All the teachers are
friendly, and they always teach useful things. My favorite subject is Geography, but I enjoy the
Physical Education class too. I have a sister, Susan. She is seven years old and she is really
beautiful. She’s got long blond hair and big green eyes. She is very sweet.

Laura is one of my best friends. She lives in the same road, so we go to school together. It isn’t
necessary to wait for the bus except when there is cold, that is July and August.

Julio is also my friend. We sometimes play basketball in the park or ride our bikes in the country.
Julio is quite tall, but he is very funny. He tells me very hilarious stories. Julio’s parents are
Mexican.

I get up at 8.00 o’clock because lessons begin at 8.45. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we
study Math’s, Spanish and History. Lunch starts at 12.15 at the school canteen. I often bring my
lunch box because my mom says it’s better food. In the afternoon we usually have Art lesson or
Technology.
