Unit 1

Hi Kirsty

I live in Los Angeles with my mom and dad. I usually get

up at 6.30 am. That’s too early! I go to school by bus. My

favorite subject is music. In the afternoon I watch TV or play

computer games. But I always have too much homework! At

the weekend I usually hang out with my friends at the skate

park. I play baseball and basketball, too. And I sleep a lot!

I play the drums. My mom says, ‘You make too much noise!’

so I don’t often play them at home. But I also love reading.

Sport, music, computers, sleep – that’s my life! What do you

do in your free time? Have you got any hobbies?

Hi Jacob

Thanks for your message. I live in Glasgow with my mum, my

stepdad, my brother and sister, and my two cats – Jam and

Honey! I love music. But I don’t play a musical instrument. My

favourite band is Franz Ferdinand (they’re from Glasgow!). Do

you like them? My favourite subject is sport. I play football

in the girls’ football team. I’m a Rangers fan and I often go

to matches with my family. But my sister doesn’t come. She

prefers dancing. I collect Rangers souvenirs. I spend too

much money on them. And my bedroom is untidy because

I’ve got too many things! I don’t like TV. In the evening I listen

to music or read a book. Write soon!
