Description
Answer the following questions:
1. Read the following text about Jenna’s experiences in a new city.
Well, I’ve been here in Seattle for exactly three months. It is hard to
believe because so much has happened. I was pretty nervous before
we left the U.K. but it’s been fine since my first day. I think I am lucky
– I made friends with a girl at school named Polly. We take a lot of
the same classes and we’ve gotten along really well since we met. It
feels as if I’ve known her for years! She’s introduced me to other
people, too, and that makes a big difference.
Last week four of us decided to go to the Pike Place Market – there
are lots of cool shops and stands there. Then we took a tour on a Duck
– it is a bus and a boat!
It’s great here, but there’s one thing I really miss. I haven’t heard any
football news for a long time. Can you do me a favor and tell me the
standings?
OK, I have to stop and do my science homework. My books have been
in my bag since Friday and I’ve done nothing for my test tomorrow.
