III. NOW READ THIS TEXT AND CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER

READING

My name is Martina. I live in a small town near Soria, in Spain. In my country

students must go to school until they are 16 years old. First, they go to
primary school and then to high school. I am eleven years old, so I go to high
school. My high school is big and quite old. There are many classrooms for the
different groups but there are also classrooms for special subjects: We have a
technology classroom, a computer classroom, a music classroom, a language
laboratory classroom, a gymnasium, a library and three classrooms where we
can watch videos.

My favorite lesson is Computers and my favorite classroom is the computer

classroom. There is a computer for every student when we go there, so we can
work individually, but we can ask the teacher if we have any question. I love
surfing the internet, chatting with my friends and I am even thinking of making
my own website or blog.

My second favorite lesson is Music. I can play the flute and the piano and I can
read scores, so this subject is easy for me. I like it when the teacher plays
classical music for us. My favorite composer is Mozart.

My least favorite lesson is Sport. I am a bit clumsy and I can’t run for a long
time because I suffer from asthma. But I enjoy team sports such as basketball
because you have fun with your classmates.
