Reading

Hello John,
How are you? This is my fourth week at my new school
and I want to tell you all about it! I really like my new
school, but it isn’t very easy being the new kid. The good
thing is that the students in my class are all very friendly.
My favourite classmate is Tony. He is really outgoing and
funny, and
we both love doing the same things. Tony is a big fan of
rollerblading and bowling, just like me. We’re great
friends and we hang out together after school!
The school day is tiring. It starts at 8.15 a.m. and finishes
late, at 4.00 p.m. On Wednesdays and Fridays I don’t get
home until 6.00 p.m. That’s because I have basketball
training after school. I’m on the school team! I enjoy most
of the subjects, like history, geography and science, but I
really can’t stand maths. Our teacher, Mr Andrews, tries to
make maths fun and easy to understand, but it’s so difficult.
Also, the teachers always give us lots of homework, but
that’s OK!
Bye for now,
Mike

1. Tony is a very shy person.

2. Mike really likes rollerblading.

3. Mike gets home at the same time every day.

4. Mike thinks maths is fun and easy.
