EXERCISE 1: TRANSLATE

Dear friends from around the world, Hello! I'm Sarah from Oxford and I'm fourteen years old. I go to
New Oxford High school, in class 2A. School is OK, I guess. I'm very good at music because I like the
teacher, Mrs Downey. She can play the piano, the keyboards and the guitar and she's really nice with
us. I also like art and English. At school, I've got two good friends, Jane and Kelly. They're very
different. For example, Jane is tall but Kelly isn't. Kelly is good at maths, Jane is good at biology.
Anyway, I love them a lot. We do lots of things together, like going swimming. We really have fun at
the pool. What about you? What class are you in? Are you a good student? Keep in touch!
