My last week
Hi! My name is Usain Bolt and I’m a
runner. I’m from Jamaica. I have got
three gold medals from the 2008 Olympic
Games! Now I’m famous, I’m very busy.
Last week, I was in Jamaica. On
Monday, I was at Emmanuel Prep School
in Mandeville. The children were very
friendly. They showed me their school and
I talked to them about my family, my
hobbies and sports. I also played football
with them.
On Tuesday, I was at my parents’
house. I stayed there all day. My mum and dad were very happy to see me.
On Wednesday, I was with my coach. I trained for three hours on the track.
On Thursday, I was tired, so I rested all day. In the evening, I listened to music
and danced a lot, because I love music and dancing.
