PART 1

Read the following texts carefully.

My name is Steven. I’m 13 years old and I’m from Dundee, in Scotland. I live in
a beautiful big farm, about eighty kilometres from Edinburg. Dundee is a small town
but I love living here because there are always many interesting things to do. There is
only one inconvenience! When I go out with my best friend Mark, everybody knows it
in the next day.
I usually get up at seven o’clock in the morning. While my mother prepares
breakfast, my dad feeds the animals and I have a quick shower, but sometimes,
when it’s freezing, I stay in the bathtub more than 30 minutes.
I have classes in the morning from nine to midday. I like school very much; my
favourite subjects are Science and Art. After lunch I have to do my homework and
study. When I finish, I play with my sister, Sarah, on the computer and I often help my
parents: we feed the horses, cows, chickens and pigs, cut the grass, water the
plants... I always go to bed at half past nine very tired.
I have got lots of friends but my best friend is Brian. He is my neighbour. He is tall
and thin, ha has got blue eyes and blond hair and he is a very nice person. He is
friendly and funny. In our free time we like going to the cinema three times a month
and watch football matches of Dundee United every weekend. February is my
favourite month because once a year I travel to Africa with my parents and visit a
different African country each year.
