Two writers
My name’s Simon Charlton and I’m a writer. My wife’s
name is Louisa and she’s a teacher in a language school
and also a writer like me. I’m at my desk every day but
Louisa has classes at school on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Let’s look at Louisa’s desk. On her desk, she has an
expensive laptop, a pink notebook and two green pens.
She also has three or four dictionaries, a box of tissues,
and a beautiful blue lamp. Her keys, glasses, and purse
are in her bag and the bag is under the desk. Louisa is
very tidy. I think she feels stressed when she looks at my
untidy desk.
I have a big, dark grey desk with keys, old bus tickets,
magazines, a photo of my family, and a lot of books on
it. I have boxes of books under my desk too.
Like Louisa, I have a computer but I also write a lot
on paper. I have hundreds of pens and pencils and I
have pages from my books all over my desk. I’m hot
in my chair but I don’t open the window because I’m
worried about all the pieces of paper!

He speaks four languages and his American accent is
very good. What does Jean-Pierre do? He’s an actor and
he lives in Los Angeles but he also travels a lot for his work.
He doesn’t do a lot of exercise because he loves his car and
in his free time he drives around the city. What car does he
have? It’s small, black, and very fast!
Mariana Romero and Rosa Diaz
Mariana and Rosa are 22 years old. They’re friends
and they live in a small flat with Rosa’s brother, Jorge.
On Sundays they eat together and listen to jazz music.
They don’t go to the cinema because it’s expensive.
The two women are hairdressers in a salon in Acapulco,
Mexico. They wear a pink uniform and work from Monday

My busy week...
Three of our readers tell us about their lives.
Maria Jose lives in Tenerife, Spain. She gets up at seven
o’clock and goes for a walk on the beach. Then she has a
shower and makes breakfast for her husband and her two
children. She takes the children to school and starts work
at nine o’clock. Maria Jose is a guide and in the morning
she shows tourists around the island. She always goes
home for lunch and then in the afternoon she works in
the tourist office in Santa Cruz. She works from Monday
to Friday, and twice a month she also goes to work on
Saturday. In her free time she reads books with the
children and does exercise with her friend, Carmen.
Kenzo is a bank manager. He works in Osaka, Japan.
He usually gets up very early and leaves his flat at seven
o’clock. He takes the train to work and arrives at the bank
at eight o’clock. Kenzo works for eight hours with a short
break for lunch in a café. At the weekend, he plays golf or
tennis with friends. On Saturdays, he and his wife often go
to his parents’ house for dinner.
Françoise is from Switzerland. She’s a teacher in a
school in Geneva. She is at school for seven hours every
day and also works at home in the evenings but she
doesn’t work at the weekend. Françoise has a lot of friends
and they like to have dinner in expensive restaurants. She
goes to bed very late on Saturday evenings. Françoise

and she takes them for long walks on Sunday afternoons.
Once a month she visits her sister and brother-in-law who

Hi Rosie
Thanks for your email. Here’s more news from us in
Montreal. It’s snowing here and the view from the
window is beautiful.
James is working in Toronto at the moment but just
for one week. He usually works in an office here in
Montreal. I am still looking for work but I’m happy
too. I take the dog for a walk, do some housework, or
go shopping. I’m going to an Italian cookery class on
Tuesdays and I can cook a lot of different pasta dishes
now. I’m also free to help Jessica with all her school
work.
Montreal East High School is really different from
Jessica’s school in London and she has a lot of homework
every day. She’s happy because she can walk to school
here and she sometimes comes home for lunch. She is on
the basketball team.
Harrison is 18 now. He’s doing a business course at
university and he’s also studying French in the evenings.
He studies hard and I think he feels quite stressed
sometimes.
I’d love to see you, so yes, let’s plan your visit in May.
My Canadian friends say that the weather is quite
sunny and warm here in spring!
Write back soon!

A fantastic festival
Sziget festival
When? In August
Where? Budapest, Hungary
How long? Seven days
First festival? 1993
This summer why not go to Sziget festival in Hungary?
Sziget means island and the festival takes place in the
capital city on Old Buda Island. People come from all over
Europe to this festival as well as from Hungary. There’s
even a special festival train called the Sziget Express which
brings people from Germany, Italy, and France.
If you like big festivals, then Sziget is the one for you.
Almost 500,000 people go to this festival every year.
This year it is from Wednesday 8 to Wednesday 15 August
so you can enjoy a week full of music, theatre, film, and
other fun.
What kinds of music performances can you see? Well,
Sziget is famous for dance and hip hop music but now
you can also hear rock, reggae, jazz, and pop. Some
performers from recent years are singers such as Rihanna,
and bands like Florence and the Machine and Kasabian.
Sziget has a lot of the same performers as the world-
famous Glastonbury festival in England, but it has one
thing that Glastonbury doesn’t have – fantastic weather!
The summer in Hungary is always quite hot – often over
30 degrees. A lot of the music is outside but if you really
don’t like being in the sun, don’t worry because some of
the performances are inside.

Canaima, Venezuela
I didn’t go to the capital, Caracas. I only went to
Canaima, which is the smallest place in this blog. It’s a
quiet town in a beautiful national park and people go
there because it is the closest place to Angel Falls, the
world’s highest waterfall. I took a lot of photos but the
video is better because you can hear the noise of all
that water!
Cuzco, Peru
Next, I travelled through Colombia to Peru to see
some of the oldest temples in the world, built by the
Incas. Cuzco, the nearest city, is very friendly to tourists
and I bought a lot of souvenirs. It also has a lot of
lovely old buildings and you can learn more about the
history of the temples if you visit the museums. The
busiest months are June and July and Cuzco is full of
visitors then. I went in December and it wasn’t busy but
it rained every day.
Valparaíso, Chile
Valparaíso was more interesting for me than the
capital, Santiago. It’s a large city, full of colourful
houses and a lot of history. I especially wanted to visit
the place where the writer Pablo Neruda lived. It’s a
house on top of a hill, and you can see the whole city
and the sea from up there. It was one of the most
expensive tourist sites I visited but I really loved it.

Jonah
I’m only 18 so there are a lot of things I would like
to do in my life. However, I don’t just want to write a list
of dreams so I’m thinking about things I can really do.
For example, I decided to learn the guitar when I was
sixteen and finally last week I booked some lessons.
Also, I promised to learn to cook because my mum
came to stay in my flat and I could only make toast so
she bought me a cookbook! Now once a week I read
the cookbook carefully and make a new dish. My mum’s
really happy and I’m eating more healthily, too.
Diana
My twin sister and I wrote bucket lists last year
when we were 30 but not all the things are the same.
She would like to be a vegetarian but I don’t especially
want to stop eating meat. We both plan to go to a big
outdoor concert in the next year or two so we can do
that together. We also want to travel but she would
like to see Africa and I hope to go to India. On my list I
wrote ‘meet Rihanna’ but I don’t think that’s going to
happen so instead I really hope to learn to swim. I’m
very frightened of water so it isn’t something I can do
easily but I want to try.

Two sisters
My name’s Kinga. I’m 19 and I’m from Warsaw in
Poland but I’m not living there right now. I’m living and
studying in New York City. I’m a student at The Juilliard
School in Manhattan, where you can study drama,
dance, and music. I play the violin and I’m really happy
I can study music at this famous school because the
teachers are amazing. My course is for six months and I
go to school from Monday to Friday. My classes usually
start at 9 a.m. I don’t live in the centre of New York City
because it’s expensive, so I get up early and travel to
school by bus. I arrive at 8.30 so I can get a coffee in the
school café before my lessons start.
I’m learning a lot of American words and my mum
says I have an American accent now. I love fast food and
I eat hot dogs and French fries two or three times a week.
I have a sister, called Ola, who is 22 and she is also
a very good musician. She plays the piano and she’s
a fantastic singer. She’s living away from home at the
moment too. She’s a receptionist in a big hotel in London
called the Piccadilly Plaza. Our dad is Polish and our
mum is English so we speak two languages. Ola can also
speak French and German and she talks to visitors from
many different countries in her job. She normally works
at the weekend and is often tired because she works
late. Our mum’s brother lives in London so Ola’s staying
with him and our cousins, Rachel and Jack. Rachel loves
cooking delicious food and she usually makes dinner for
my sister.

Hi Rebekkah
How are you? I’m writing to say hello to you from
Armando and Sabrina. Do you know they have moved
house? They live in a village now. They moved in April.
Alex and I visited them last weekend but we got lost
on the way! Armando gave Alex some directions but he
didn’t listen very carefully and also it was quite foggy. I
think Alex turned left in front of the police station when
we needed to turn left opposite the church.
Anyway, Sabrina cooked a delicious meal. There was
pasta with seafood and then ice cream for dessert. And
to celebrate Armando getting a new job, we took a big
cake to eat together. He was really happy because it
was his favourite – chocolate.
And let me tell you about the house. It’s bigger
than the old house but it’s also warmer because the
central heating is better. Armando showed us upstairs.
There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms and a
study with a lot of shelves for all Armando’s books.
Downstairs, the living room has luxurious white carpet
and comfortable brown sofas. We ate dinner in the
dining room where there’s a lovely fireplace with a
beautiful mirror on the wall above it. I’ve shared some
photos on Facebook if you want to look.
We had a good time together but Sabrina is sad that
Armando is going to travel a lot for work and she’s
bored when he is away. I’m going to have a coffee with
her on Friday next week. Are you free? Would you like
to come?
