Dear ElenaWe’re in our new house in Oxford now and I really like it. Everything is very different from in London. Our house there was bigger but we’ve got a really nice garden now. The old house was more modern but the new house is prettier. I can walk to my new school in ten minutes - it was half an hour on the bus in London.Living in London was interesting, but travelling was difficult. All the historic buildings in Oxford are in a small area, so you can see a lot in one day. Oxford is cleaner too - the pollution in London was very bad. There are some things I don’t like about Oxford! The shops are small and there aren’t many department stores. Bands don’t play concerts here very often. I think I’ll go back to London to see my favourite bands. I think the people in London were friendlier. I’ve got one or two friends at school but people don’t talk to me very much. The classes are smaller at my new school, so it’s easier to learn.

Please visit me here soon.LoveDiane

Hi Sandra

How are you? I hope your exams weren’t very difficult last week.

I had a great time last weekend. I went to a festival in Brighton. There were lots of bands and people danced all night. I was dancing with my sister when I met a boy from Italy. His name’s Paolo and he’s very good-looking! He’s studying English in Brighton at the moment.

On Sunday we walked round Brighton. It’s much smaller than London, but it’s very interesting. There are some historic buildings and also some modern parts too. There’s a great area for shopping called ‘The Lanes’. The shops are small but they’re nicer than in London.

My family and I are going on holiday next week. We’re flying to Paris and we’re staying in a hotel near the centre. My parents have got tickets for a classical concert but my sister and I aren’t going. We prefer pop music. (I bought the new CD by The Nerves last week – I’ll record it for you if you want.)

I’m going to e-mail Paolo now. If I have time, I’ll visit you next week.

LoveNicola

Last winter my parents and I stayed in an old house in a small village. When we arrived, two young children were playing near the house. The girl shouted. ‘Don’t stay here – it’s haunted!’ We all laughed and then the children ran away. In the afternoon, we went for a walk. It was getting dark, when we found an old cemetery. I felt a bit scared, so we went back to the house. My dad cooked dinner and then we played games and read books. We went to bed early and I went to sleep quickly. At midnight, I heard a noise. It was a little girl and she was singing. I was very scared, so I turned on the lamp. There was a young girl next to my bed. I asked her, ‘What are you doing here?’ She said, ‘Don’t you remember me? We met earlier today.’ ‘What do you want?’ I shouted. ‘This is my house,’ the girl said. ‘I died here.’ I closed my eyes and screamed. The girl disappeared. Then my mum came into my bedroom. ‘Don’t worry, Anne. It was only a nightmare,’ she said.

Computer expert has fourteenth birthday

Gary Bradshaw celebrated his birthday last week – at a local paper company. The director organized a party to say thank you for Gary’s help with their new computers. Gary is an expert in computers and he’s only 14.

In an interview with the Bradshaw family, Gary said, ‘I couldn’t use a computer when I was very young. We didn’t have a computer at home, so I didn’t play games or use CD-ROMs for learning.’ Mrs Bradshaw continued, ‘Then my sister bought a computer for her children and Gary loved it. He started to learn all about computers and we bought his first machine when he was nine.’ Gary started to write computer programs and help people with their technical problems. He said, ‘Writing programs isn’t difficult for me. I can write quickly and people say my programs are easy to use. My mum’s friend works at the local paper company. She said they were having problems with their new system and I gave them some advice.’ What about Gary’s future? I want to have a computer company,’ he said, ‘but I must finish school first!’

3 What is the difference between girls and boys in sport?………...........................................................

4 How many teenagers have tried a dangerous sport?………...........................................................


We interviewed 100 teenagers about sport and health. Here are the results.

SportMost of the teenagers play sport every week and the most popular activities are swimming, basketball and tennis. Girls prefer team sports but boys like individual activities like cycling. Only twenty-five of the group have tried a more dangerous activity like mountain-climbing. Not many of the group participate in sporting competitions. All the teenagers think that drugs in sport are very bad.

HealthMost of the teenagers don’t have health problems. They are ill only about three times a year with simple problems like colds. The more active teenagers sometimes get broken arms or legs.
