Amelia
Aunt Katie and Uncle Robert always go to the movies
on Friday evenings, and I babysit my cousin, Noah.
I go to their house at six o’clock and we have dinner.
After that, my aunt and uncle go to the movies.
Noah is 4 years old now. He’s great! He’s always so
good. After dinner, we often play games. Then we
watch a movie—he loves Shrek! At 7:30, Noah has a
snack, and then we read a story together. His favorite
book is Creature Teacher. Noah usually goes to bed at
eight o’clock, but on Fridays, he goes to bed at 8:30
p.m. When Noah goes to bed, I usually read a book, or
I sometimes watch TV.
My aunt and uncle get home at 10:30 … and then it’s
my bedtime!
141 page W31, exercise 1
What are your favorite ways to relax?
Young people are often very busy—they go to school,
they do their homework, they play sports, they’re on
school teams or go to after-school clubs, or they play
musical instruments. It’s great to be busy and to learn
new things, but it’s also very important to unwind. So,
we have a question for you! What are your favorite
ways to relax?
Alyssa, 13
After dinner, I usually finish my homework, and then I
go to my bedroom to chill out. I often listen to music, or
I read books. I have a notebook and I write or draw in it
every day. I play the guitar and I sometimes write
songs. I like to be creative.
In the summer, I usually go skateboarding with my
friends. There’s a skatepark near my house. On the
weekend, I play soccer in the backyard with my dad, or
we sometimes go to the movies. When we finish school
on Fridays, I always go to my friend Jamie’s house. We
play video games, or we watch our favorite Netflix
pizza—my favorite!
Tomomi, 15
When I get home from school, I usually relax for an
hour. I check Snapchat and Instagram, and then I read
any messages I have from my friends and chat with
them online. Then I often go for a walk with our dog,
Koji. We usually go to the park, and he plays with other
dogs. It’s fun and relaxing. Sometimes I call my best
friend, too.
142 page W34, exercise 1
Mason hears something in the school cafeteria that
makes him angry …

Mason It’s Friday, so it’s nachos with cheese

Lola Nachos with cheese? My favorite!
Mason I love them, too!
Lola Hey, listen to this. What do you call
cheese that isn’t your cheese?
Mason I don’t know. What do you call cheese that
isn’t your cheese?
Lola Nacho cheese! Not … your … cheese!
