There’s no place like home

by Jack Fleming
You don’t really think about your home until you have to move somewhere else, or at least I never thought
about my home in England until then. But everything changed when Dad came home from work a couple
of months ago to tell us more about his new job. ‘So what?’ I thought to myself. And then he said: ‘The new
job is in Berlin – in Germany’.
And now, two months later, here we are, living in an apartment close to Berlin city centre, in the middle
of some big houses. I’m going to an international school because I don’t speak German and this is an
important year for me because I have to pass some big exams at the end. Our lessons are all in English but
because Dad’s here for the next five years, I must learn German!
Like the language, everything around me is still very new. But I like being in the city because it’s more
interesting than being in a small place. It’s easy to get around because the public transport is brilliant and
it’s cheaper than back home. There are so many amazing things to see and do.
Life is exciting, but I miss my friends back home. We skype and email and I keep in touch with everyone on
Facebook but it’s not like being together. I hope that I can go back home in the holidays and maybe some
of my friends can come and visit too.
What else do I miss? Well, I miss my old room and I know Mum misses the garden because she liked to
grow lots of vegetables but I don’t think Dad misses anything and my sister is never in so I don’t know
what she misses!

Answer the questions. Choose the correct answer: a, b or c.

0 Jack says that two months ago
a he moved to a different home in England.
b he found out his dad had a new job.
c  he told his dad he didn’t want to move
to Germany.
1 Where does Jack live in Berlin?
a in an apartment in the centre of the city
b in a flat near the middle of the city
c in a house outside the city
2 At the international school, Jack
a is learning German.
b is doing some exams now.
c is going to classes in English.
3 What does Jack say about Berlin and his home town?
a His home town is more expensive to get around.
b His home town is more interesting to be in.
c His home town is easier to travel in.
4 What does Jack say about his friends back home?
a He’s going to get a visit from them soon.
b He sometimes forgets to contact them.
c He doesn’t like being away from them.
5 Who misses their home in England the most?
a Jack’s dad
b Jack’s mum
c Jack’s sister
