My face was tired and grey.

This happened last week when I was in the park. The
sun was shining and I was sitting on the grass. I was
painting a picture of the ducks on the pond. Some
children were playing football. Suddenly, their ball hit
my paint pots and the paint pots fell over. The blue
paint went on my picture and the pink paint went on
the grass. My hands got dirty when I was cleaning my
picture so I decided to go and wash them in the pond.
The ducks flew away when I was washing my hands
because they were scared of me. They landed on the
grass by my picture. They walked on the pink paint,
then they walked on my picture. They made pink
marks all over the paper. And that wasn’t all. When
the ducks walked on my picture, it started to rain. By
now, my picture looked terrible. I was thinking about

A Hi Dora, how are you?
B Good thanks, Ivy. I’ve had the most amazing holiday.
A Lucky you! What did you do?
B It was a very active holiday. One day we climbed
right to the top of a mountain.
C I’ve never climbed a mountain. I’ve climbed a big
hill, but not a mountain.
B This was a real mountain. There was snow at the
top. Have you ever climbed a mountain, Ivy?
A I have, but not recently. It was a long time ago.
B Oh, right.
A Where did you stay?
B In a five-star hotel! Can you imagine?
A I’ve stayed in a five-star hotel.
C Have you? What, recently?
A Yes, not long ago.
C I’ve stayed in two- or three-star hotels, but I’ve
never stayed in a five-star hotel. Was it nice, Dora?
B It was, but we only stayed there one night. After
that we camped. That was brilliant. We were on a
farm and we picked fresh fruit every day.
A I’ve done that. Well, not recently. When I was a child.
B Camping or picking fruit?
A Both. I camped and I picked fruit when I was a child.
C Me too. I did both those things when I was a child.
B And another amazing experience was, I tried
snorkelling.
A What’s that?
C You know, swimming underwater with a mask.
A With an oxygen tank, you mean?
B No, no, not with an oxygen tank. That’s scuba
diving. You need lessons for that. I haven’t done
that. I mean with a mask and a snorkel. It was
great. We saw lots of really colourful fish. I loved it.
A It sounds amazing. I’ve never tried snorkelling - or
scuba diving, for that matter!
C I’ve tried snorkelling. It was about five years ago.
But I’ve never tried scuba diving. Maybe next year!

Interviewer: There was an earthquake at 7.30
in the morning in New Zealand
yesterday. I spoke to some young
people about what they were
doing at that exact moment. So,
what were you doing, Daisy, at 7.30
yesterday morning?
Daisy: I was having my breakfast and
listening to the radio.
Interviewer: How about you, Fred? What were
you doing?
Fred: I was sitting at my desk, doing my
homework.
Interviewer: And you, Kim?
Kim: I was walking to school with May.
May: Yeah, we were just talking about
our homework.
Interviewer: Were you walking to school, Helen?
Helen: No, I wasn’t. I was in bed, sleeping.
I was dreaming about the sea. I

Emma: Why was that?
Mary: Well, they arrived at ten in the morning,
but we were expecting them at two in the
afternoon. So we weren’t ready.
Emma: How embarrassing!
Mary: Yes. I was doing my homework when the
doorbell rang. I opened the door and there
were my cousins, my aunt and my uncle.
Emma: What did you do?
Mary: My parents were out. My dad was
working, so I couldn’t phone him. I called
my mum but she was driving to the
supermarket so she couldn’t answer.
Emma: What about your brother?
Mary: My brother was playing football at the
park, so he wasn’t there either.
Emma: So what happened?
Mary: Well, it was embarrassing because the
house was a mess. So my aunt and uncle
helped me clean and tidy the house. My
aunt cleaned the kitchen and my uncle
did the washing-up. While I was tidying
the living room and the dining room my
cousins made the beds.
Emma: Were your aunt and uncle annoyed?

She’s 16 years old and she loves
sailing. But the most amazing thing
© Oxford University Press 2014  PHOTOCOPIABLE
is that she sails all over the world on
her own. So, Lucy, tell us about the
journeys you’ve made.
Lucy: I’ve sailed across the Atlantic and
the Pacific. I’ve sailed in the Indian
Ocean. I’ve sailed to Australia,
South Africa, South America and
the Caribbean. In fact, I’ve sailed all
around the world.
Interviewer: That’s amazing. Are you the
youngest person who has sailed
around the world alone?
Lucy: I think so. But I haven’t won any prizes
because I’m too young. They say they
don’t want young people to try to sail
alone because it’s too dangerous.
Interviewer: Do you think sailing is dangerous?
Have you had any bad experiences?
Lucy: It’s dangerous sometimes. I’ve sailed
through storms. They are definitely
scary. But I’m a good sailor.
Interviewer: So how long have you spent on
the boat?
Lucy: In the last two years, I’ve spent 400
days on the boat.
Interviewer: 400 days! So what about school?
Lucy: I haven’t had time to go to school
this year. But I’ve done school work
and I’ve read lots of books.
Interviewer: Have you ever earned any money
from sailing?
Lucy: No, I haven’t. But that’s OK. I sail
because I love sailing. I don’t do it
for money.
Interviewer: Do you have any more ambitions?
Lucy: Well, I’ve never done a parachute
jump. I’d definitely like to do that.

museums, sports stadiums, offices
and schools. Do you have a
favourite building out of all of those?
Sandra: Probably the Eldon School.
Interviewer: Tell me more about that.
Sandra: Well, we started it six years ago.
It was a school in a poor part of
London and we built a completely
new school. It was a lot of work

students love it.
Interviewer: Not only the students. You won a
prize for the design.
Sandra: Yes, that’s right. I won the Brown
Prize last year.
Interviewer: In fact, you’ve won several prizes,
I think.
Sandra: Yes, I’ve been very lucky. Probably
the most important was the
Congress Prize in America. That was
eight years ago.
Interviewer: So, did you live in America?
Sandra: Yes, I lived there for ten years. I
taught at a university, as well as
running my business. But then I left
and moved to London.
Interviewer: And have you been in London
ever since?
Sandra: Yes, I’ve been here for seven
years now.
Interviewer: And are you working on any
new projects?
Sandra: Yes, we’re building a new swimming
centre. We started in July this year.
It will be the biggest in Britain. I’m
very excited.
Interviewer: Good luck with that, Sandra.

Mum: Oh. That’s a shame. So have you done

Paul: Well, I went to the supermarket in the
morning, but I forgot my wallet, so I
couldn’t actually buy anything.
Mum: Oh, Paul! What about your homework?
Have you finished that yet?
Paul: No, I’m sorry. I haven’t.
Mum: Why not?
Paul: Well, I lent my maths book to Tom
yesterday. So when I looked in my bag
this morning, the book wasn’t there.
Mum: I can’t believe it. So what have you

Paul: I’ve watched TV.
