BASIC ENGLISH READINGS…
READING Nº 1…
Hi! I’m Jennifer! I am 9 years old. I live in Houston, Texas with my mother, father, and two brothers. I like going
to school but I hate doing homework and taking exams. At school I study English, Spanish, Science, Social
Studies and Mathematics. I love going to school and seeing my friends and teachers every day. I also like to play
baseball after school. I don’t have any sisters but my best friend, Olga, is just like my sister. We tell each other
everything. We also study and watch TV together. When I grow up I’m going to be a nurse and take care of sick
people.
READING Nº 2…
Hi! My name is Marco. I am 17 years old. My parents and I moved to the United States from Peru 2 years ago. I
don’t have any brothers or sisters; I am an only child. My parents came to the United States because they could
not find work in Peru. My Aunt and uncle had moved here 12 years earlier and own a restaurant. My father
works as a chef and my mother works as a waitress at the restaurant. It is hard work but they are happy that
they now have enough money and that I have the opportunity to get a good education. Leaving Peru was hard
for me. I had a lot of family and friends there. I could speak very little English and my family didn’t have a lot of
money. Things are better now. I have made a few friends and I am learning English fast. I will graduate High
School next year and hope to go to college. After that I will get a job as an Engineer and make a lot of money so
that my parents don’t have to work so hard anymore.
READING Nº 3…
Hello! My name is Lucia. I am 41 years old, married with 2 kids. I live in Hoboken, which is in the state of New
Jersey on the east coast of the United States. I work part-time in a bookstore. It is a great job. I can read as many
books as I want for free and I can spend plenty of time with my kids. My husband has his own business and
works from 8am to 9pm. One day he will sell the business for a lot of money so that he can spend more time
with his family. When I am not working, I spend most of my time cleaning the house, doing the laundry, paying
the bills and cooking for the family. I would like my husband to sell his business soon so that he can spend more
time with us.
READING Nº 4…
Hey! What’s up? I’m Robert. I am 26 years old and I have just moved into my own apartment. I love it! I can
do whatever I want and I don’t have my parents nagging me about cleaning my room, washing the dishes or
taking out the garbage. I just stay up late at night playing video games or go out drinking with my friends. Then
I can sleep till noon the next day. I don’t think I will ever get married or have kids. I love not having any
responsibilities. During the day I work as a waiter in a restaurant a few blocks away. My shift starts at 11 am
and ends at 9 pm. It is hard work but it is fun. I meet interesting people and girls give me their phone numbers
all the time. I would like to have my own restaurant one day and make more money but it seems like a lot of
work. I think I’ll just enjoy life for now and worry about making more money later.
