The speaker talks about

1. how to arrange a birthday party (как организовать вечеринку ко  дню рождения).

2. his/her favourite cafe (любимый пирог).

3. making a birthday cake (приготовление торта ко дню рождения).

4. his/her childhood dream (мечта детства).

5. a family birthday celebration (семейное празднование дня рождения).

6. shopping for a present (поход в магазин за подарком).

Speaker A: It was my friend’s birthday recently. Silly: It took me 4 days to buy him a gift. I wanted to give him a set of paint and brushes. However, when I arrived to the art shop it was 8 p. m. and the shop only works till 7 p. m. The next day the shop was closed for some technical reason. And on the third day I found out right in front of the cash desk I found out that I’ve left my money at home. My 4th time was the last, a success. 
Speaker B: A birthday is a special day for any of us. And if you want a special celebration you need to think about it beforehand. First think a list of guests. Bare mind that there shouldn’t be too many people, otherwise they will split into groups. It’s good when all the guests know each other. Ant the most important thing is to design the program of activity. Games and contests are in the center part of it.
Speaker C: On my birthday my parents took me, my two of my sisters to an amusement park. We rode the rollercoaster, had fun on the swings and ate ice-cream and sweets in the summer cafe. Then we went to a shop in center. I was supposed to choose a present by myself. And I choose a large teddy bear. It may be silly for a girl who just turned 15 but at some moment I fell like a little child.
Speaker D: When you thinking about arraigning a birthday party, you definitely thing about your menu which always includes a special cake. If you want to impress your guests, try to do it yourself. It will require lots of your time and lots of ingredients like: flour, cream, butter, chocolate and what not. But be prepared for all kinds of the accidents, like the cake burning.
Speaker E: I often drop in to this place as it’s just on the way to my office. In the morning it’s a nice place to have a coffee and a sandwich. And at the evening when I have more time, I take some deserts like pancakes with different fittings or pudding with ice cream or a cake. They also sell huge cakes for all sorts of celebrations like birthday or wedding cakes.

ПЕРЕВОД

Говорящий  А:   Недавно у моего  друга  был день рождения. Глупо: мне потребовалось 4 дня, чтобы купить ему подарок. Я хотела подарить ему набор красок и кисточек. Однако, когда я приехала в магазин товаров для искусства, было 8 вечера, а магазин работает только до 7 вечера. На следующий день магазин был закрыт по какой-то технической причине. А на третий день прямо перед кассой я обнаружила, что оставила свои деньги дома. Мой 4-й раз был последним, успешным.

Говорящий В: День рождения - это особый день для любого из нас. И если вы хотите особенный праздник, вам нужно подумать об этом заранее. Сначала продумайте список гостей. Имейте в виду, что там не должно быть слишком много людей, иначе они разделятся на группы. Хорошо, когда все гости знают друг друга. Но самое главное - это разработать программу деятельности. Игры и конкурсы находятся в центральной её части.

Говорящий С: На мой день рождения родители отвезли меня и двух моих сестер в парк развлечений. Мы катались на американских горках, веселились на качелях и ели мороженое и сладости в летнем кафе. Потом мы пошли в торговый центр. Я должна была выбрать подарок сама. И я выбрала большого плюшевого мишку. Это может быть глупо для девушки, которой только исполнилось 15 лет, но в какой-то момент я чувствовала себя , как маленький ребенок.

Говорящий D:  Когда вы думаете о том, чтобы организовать вечеринку по случаю Дня рождения, вы определенно думаете о  вашем меню, которое всегда включает в себя специальный торт. Если вы хотите произвести впечатление на своих гостей, попробуйте сделать это сами. Это потребует много вашего времени и много ингредиентов, таких как: мука, сливки, масло, шоколад и что-нибудь еще. Но будьте готовы ко всем видам несчастных случаев, как подгорание  пирога.

Говорящий Е:  Я часто захожу в это место, так как оно находится как раз по дороге в мой офис. Утром это хорошее место, чтобы выпить кофе и съесть  бутерброд. А вечером, когда у меня появляется больше времени, я беру какие-нибудь десерты вроде блинчиков с разными начинками или пудинга с мороженым или торт. Они также продают огромные торты для всех видов торжеств, таких как день рождения или свадебные торты.

ЗАДАНИЕ:

The speaker talks about

1. his/her fashion hobby (модное хобби).

2. clothes popular with teenagers (одежда популярная среди подростков).

3. expensive trends for teenagers .

4. his/her friend’s shopping habits (способ подруги  похода в магазин за покупками).

5. his/her favourite shop (любимый магазин).

6. his/her favourite colours for clothes (любимые цвета одежды).

    Speaker A:   My friend Lucy is a nice person but there are things about her that drive me mad. One of them is her way of buying clothes. She actually doesn’t buy things she tries them on. Even if the color of the dress doesn’t zoo her at all, when jeans are 3 sizes bigger then her’s, she will try them on anyway! Shopping with her takes so much time and affords. 
     Speaker B: I don’t think that teenagers should wear something expensive but the clothes should be in line with their personalities. There are lots of similar looking things in the shops but if I want something really original I make it myself. I enjoy making all kinds of accessories like bags, belts, hand-made jewelry and decorations. I use different materials for this like leather, fabrics and other things.
     Speaker C: I have dark brown hear and dark eyes. But my mum keeps me buying closes in beige, brown and dark blue. She says it’s elegance and practical, but I definitely prefer something in liker. Or ultra yellow. Green is so bright, but it still looks natural. Yellow and orange remind me of the sun and uplift my mood. They are bright enough even in gloomy winter day.
    Speaker D: Young people usually prefer active lifestyle. And this means that their clothes should be comfortable, practicable and fashionable too. The best clothes for teens have been usually jeans, t-shorts and jumpers. They can be in different colors from dark ones to bright ones, different in style either plane or with prints and accessories but they are always trendy and fit for any occasion.
     Speaker E: I normally don’t like shopping for closes as it takes so much time and I simply don’t find it interesting, but when I go to see my friend I always drop in to a shop on the corner near her house. You can find all kinds of hand-made cloеthes and accessories there. I bought a scarf and a pair of gloves there for myself. And I also buy all kind of presents there for my friends.

ПЕРЕВОД

Говорящий А: Моя подруга Люси - хороший человек, но в ней есть вещи, которые сводят меня с ума. Один из них - ее способ покупки одежды. На самом деле она не покупает вещи, а примеряет их. Даже если цвет платья не нравится ей вообще, когда джинсы на 3 размера больше, чем ее, она будет примерять их в любом случае! Покупки с ней занимают так много времени.

Говорящий  В: Я не думаю, что подростки должны носить что-то дорогое, но одежда должна соответствовать их личности. В магазинах есть много похожих вещей, но если я хочу что-то действительно оригинальное, я делаю это сама. Мне нравится делать все виды аксессуаров, таких как сумки, ремни, ювелирные изделия ручной работы и украшения. Я использую различные материалы для этого, как кожа, ткани и другие вещи.

Говорящий  С: У меня темно-коричневый волосы  и темные глаза. Но моя мама заставляет меня покупать одежду в бежевом, коричневом и темно-синем цвете. Она говорит, что это элегантность и практичность, но я определенно предпочитаю что-то бросающееся в глаза. Или ультра желтый. Зеленый такой яркий, но все равно выглядит естественно. Желтый и оранжевый цвета напоминают мне о солнце и поднимают настроение. Они достаточно яркие даже в хмурый зимний день.

Говорящий  D: молодые люди обычно предпочитают активный образ жизни. А это значит, что их одежда тоже должно быть удобным, практичным и модным. Лучшая одежда  для подростков, как правило, джинсы, футболки и джемперы. Они могут быть в разных цветах от темных до ярких, разных по стилю либо плоскости, либо с принтами и аксессуарами, но они всегда в моде  и подходят для любого случая.

Говорящий Е: Я обычно не люблю ходить по магазинам, так как это занимает так много времени, и я просто не нахожу это интересным, но когда я иду к своей подруге, я всегда заглядываю в магазин на углу возле ее дома. Вы можете найти все виды одежды  ручной работы и аксессуаров  там. Там я купила себе шарф и пару перчаток. И я также покупаю все виды подарков там для моих друзей.

6. The speaker talks about a ski racing competition(соревнования по лыжным гонкам).

Speaker A: I love sports. But I’ve never been very extreme. Recently my friend had a ski holyday it the mountains. But I chose to stay at home. First: I hate cold. I don’t enjoy staying outdoors longer than half an hour. Second: I found ski boots so heavy and uncomfortable. And the last but the main reason: is that I could fall over and hurt myself. 
Speaker B: I think that winter is the best season of the year and I take every opportunity to do winter sports. I like skiing best of all. First of all it’s very exciting to ski down the slope. Lots of people from different places go to skiing and I like to meet new friends. And finally, when you ski you enjoy the wonderful nature, the beautiful landscape and the fresh air of the mountains. 
Speaker C: I sometimes go to the ski resorts with my friends. However, when I first tried this sport it was a great failure. I spent about half an hour putting the boots on! They were heavy, and it was difficult to move in them. Anyway, I got to the hill and fastened the skies and started to slide down! I wasn’t able to stop! It was really frightened. At last, I fell over and stopped. Very painful. 
Speaker D: I ski quite serious and I often take part in different competitions: local, national, international. Safety is very important for this sport. Apart from quality skies, good boots are important. They should be strong and high to protect the ankles. The helmet is also necessary. I also wear sport glasses and the skiing mask to protect my face from the sun, the wind and the snow. 
Speaker E: When we go skiing we always stay in one and the same hotel, it’s in a very beautiful place in the mountains and sometimes even the international competitions are held there. Apart from several ski centers where we hire skies there are restaurants there and medical center, different souvenir shops and several ski-lifts that can take you up to the top of the mountains very quikly.

ПЕРЕВОД

Говорящий  А: Я люблю спорт. Но я никогда не был очень экстремальным. Недавно у моего друга был лыжный праздник в горах. Но я предпочел остаться дома. Во-первых: я ненавижу холод. Я не люблю оставаться на открытом воздухе дольше, чем на полчаса. Второе: я считаю, что лыжные ботинки такие тяжелые и неудобные. И последняя, но главная причина: это то, что я могу упасть и пораниться.

Говорящий  В: Я считаю, что зима-это лучшее время года, и я использую любую возможность заниматься зимними видами спорта. Больше всего я люблю кататься на лыжах. Прежде всего, это очень интересно кататься на лыжах вниз по склону. Многие люди из разных мест ездят кататься на лыжах, и мне нравится знакомиться с новыми друзьями. И, наконец, когда вы катаетесь на лыжах, вы наслаждаетесь прекрасной природой, прекрасным пейзажем и свежим воздухом гор.

Говорящий  С: Я иногда езжу на горнолыжные курорты с друзьями. Однако, когда я впервые попробовал этот вид спорта, это был большой провал. Я потратил около получаса, надевая лыжные ботинки! Они были тяжелыми, и в них было трудно передвигаться. Так или иначе, я добрался до холма, закрепил нлыжи и начал сползать вниз! Я не мог остановиться! Это было действительно страшно. Наконец, я упал и остановился. Очень болезненно.

Говорящий  D: Я катаюсь на лыжах достаточно серьезно и часто принимаю участие в различных соревнованиях: местных, национальных, международных. Безопасность очень важна для этого вида спорта. Помимо качественных лыж, важны хорошие ботинки. Они должны быть крепкими  и высокими, чтобы защитить лодыжки. Шлем тоже необходим. Я также ношу спортивные очки и лыжную маску, чтобы защитить свое лицо от солнца, ветра и снега.

Говорящий  Е: когда мы катаемся на лыжах мы всегда останавливаемся в одном и том же отеле, это в очень красивом месте в горах и иногда даже проводятся международные соревнования. Помимо нескольких горнолыжных центров, где мы арендуем лыжи, там есть рестораны и медицинский центр, различные сувенирные магазины и несколько подъемников, которые могут доставить вас на вершину горы очень быстро.

ЗАДАНИЕ:

The speaker talks about

1. his/her recent journey (недавняя поездка).

2. traffic problems (проблемы связанные с движением транспорта).

3. the dangers of careless driving (опасность беззаботного вождения).

4. different means of transport (различное назначение транспорта).

5. sports car races (гонки на спортивных автомобилях).

6. his/her new job (новая работа).

        Speaker A: Driving requires concentration, attention and skills. Unfortunately some people don't realize how dangerous their car can be for themselves and to other people. Lots of accidents happen because the driver accede the speed limits or when the driver feels unwell or simply tired. However, the worse thing is when the drivers start to compete with each other and have car raises on the city roads. 
        Speaker B: I worked in the office for the several years and after while I’ve got pretty bored with that. I wanted to change something in my life and this reminded me of my childhood dream of wanting to be the bus driver. “Why not?” – I said to myself. Now I drive a large and comfortable city bus. My root is through the center of the city which is nice in quite hours. In the daytime the traffic is heavy, but I enjoy it anyway. 
        Speaker C: Nowadays people have to be very mobile. Public transport like buses or the underground is the best way to get from the point A to point B in the city. They are relatively cheap and safe. If you want, you can take a taxi or drive your own car. In some countries bicycles are becoming more and more popular. People prefer them to cars when they go to work or to a shop.
       Speaker D: There are a lot of cars on the streets of our cities. And it’s getting more and more of them. Too much available transport, however, may lead to accidents and unpleasant situations. Cars and buses may get stuck in the traffic jams. Sometimes careless drivers park their cars in the wrong places and it causes lots of inconvenient to the passing by and to other drivers. 
        Speaker E: I love driving and I always try to be very careful on the road, however, last Sunday was not my lucky day. I went to a nearby town to visit my grandma. Normally, it takes me 30 minutes to get there, but on Sunday the road was blocked because of the accident. Then I was nearly hit by another car! Fortunately the driver was stopped by the police and fined for the dangerous driving.

ПЕРЕВОД

        Говорящий А: вождение требует концентрации, внимания и навыков. К сожалению, некоторые люди не понимают, насколько опасным их автомобиль может быть для себя и для других людей. Много несчастных случаев происходит из-за того, что водитель нарушает скоростной режим или когда он чувствует себя плохо или просто устал. Однако хуже всего, когда водители начинают конкурировать друг с другом и устраивают автомобильные гонки на дорогах города.

        Говорящий В: Я работал в офисе в течение нескольких лет, и через некоторое время мне стало довольно скучно . Я хотел что-то изменить в своей жизни, и это напомнило мне о моей детской мечте стать водителем автобуса. - А почему бы и нет?"–Сказал я себе. Сейчас я езжу на большом и комфортабельном городском автобусе. Мой маршрут  проходит через центр города, который является красивым в  тихие часы. В дневное время движение очень интенсивное, но мне все равно нравится.

        Говорящий С: В наше время люди должны быть очень мобильными. Общественный транспорт, как автобусы или метро является лучшим способом добраться из точки А в точку Б в городе. Они относительно дешевы и безопасны. Если вы хотите, вы можете взять такси или водить свой собственный автомобиль. В некоторых странах велосипеды становятся все более популярными. Люди предпочитают их автомобилям, когда они идут на работу или в магазин.

       Говорящий D: На улицах наших городов очень много машин. И их становится все больше и больше. Однако слишком большое количество доступного транспорта может привести к несчастным случаям и неприятным ситуациям. Автомобили и автобусы могут застрять в пробках. Иногда неосторожные водители паркуют свои автомобили в неположенных местах и это причиняет массу неудобств проезжающим мимо и другим водителям.

        Говорящий Е: Я люблю водить машину и всегда стараюсь быть очень осторожным на дороге, однако, в прошлое воскресенье мне не повезло. Я поехал в соседний город навестить бабушку. Обычно мне требуется 30 минут, чтобы добраться туда, но в воскресенье дорога была заблокирована из-за аварии. А потом меня чуть не сбила другая машина! К счастью, водитель был остановлен полицией и оштрафован за опасное вождение.

1. The speaker says that exams are necessary.

2. The speaker talks about a successful exam experience.

3. The speaker explains why he/she is afraid of exams.

4. The speaker talks about exam preparation.

5. The speaker explains why he/she failed the exam.

6. The speaker says that he/she enjoys taking exams.

Speaker A. I know that lots of student don’t like exams. They would prefer school without tests and exams at all, but I don’t it’s possible. Exams helps to major the progress we’ve made and helps us to understand what we have to improve. Students usually need some motivation to learn and exams are very effective way to make them study. 
         Speaker B. I have already taken 2 exams. I learn English as a foreign language. In the end of my course in the language school I had to take an exam. At first I was afraid of that, but then I managed to concentrate on the task. I made a few mistakes, but my grade was ok anyway. Later, when I had to take an exam in my art course I didn’t worry about it at all and everything went fine for that one too. 
        Speaker C. If you want to pass your exam successfully, you should remember a few points. The first one – revise all the material you’ve learned, but not on the night before the exam. That night you should have a good sleep to be able concentrate on your tasks. Second: have a walk before you go to your classroom, it will help you to feel more relaxed. 
         Speaker D. It was my first exam and I feel frightened and uneasy. I’m quite good at mathematics, but there in the exam room I couldn’t concentrate. The first task took me much more time than it was supposed to. And I simply didn’t managed to complete the test on time. My grade was very low, I didn’t get a pass and I have to take it again in a month. 
        Speaker E. It could sound absolutely crazy for most students, but I don’t mind exams at all. More than that: passing the exams makes me feel good. It’s like doing sports to me, I have to make some afford to receive the result. And if I manage (and in the most cases I do) I feel very proud of myself. High grades motivate me to learn further. Low grades, if they happen, make an area to improvement.

The speaker talks about

1. his/her typical day off.

2. a disagreement with a friend.

3. the most popular sports.

4. the local sports centre.

5. healthy eating habits.

6. doing sports at home.

Speaker A. I think that sports and exercises are absolutely necessary for young people. Unfortunately there is no gym nearby and the local swimming pool is far from my house too. But there are still lots of opportunities anyway. I start my day with physical exercises. I exercise right in my room. I do some gymnastics and then walk to school. I almost never take a bus. 
Speaker B. On Sunday I get up a little earlier than usually and go jogging. It normally takes an hour or so. Than we have breakfast and then if the weather is ok, we go to the picnic or to the amusement park all together, with the family. If it rains, we go to the cinema. And in the evening I have a half an hour swim in the swimming pool. We are lucky to have one nearby.
Speaker C. I spend almost all my free time here. It’s a good place to do various sports from gymnastics to swimming. I usually buy a pass for a month. It gives me an opportunity to use gym and swimming pool as long as I want to. There are also other facilities for example a cafe where they serve a tasty bones or sandwiches. Naturally the whole place gets crowdie on the weekend. 
Speaker D. I believe that young people should do sports to keep fit. Lucy tries to avoid sports at all casts but she doesn’t want to look fat or anything, so her way to look fit is dieting. She only eats one meal a day and avoids loots of products like eggs, butter, milk and even some vegetables. I think it can harm her health. But she won’t listen to me and we even argued at this point. 
Speaker E. sports are important to keep fit. But I think that eating the inappropriate food is very important too. I’m not talking about dieting. I just say that if you prefer a simple food like vegetables, fish and eggs to sweets and bones. If you drink simple water or tea instead of sweet fizzy drinks it will do only good. Fast food is usually not the best choice.

2. The speaker explains why he/she avoids museums.

3. The speaker talks about the most famous museums in the world.

4. The speaker presents his/her idea for an online museum.

5. The speaker presents his/her school museum.

6. The speaker talks about his/her recent excursion.

Speaker A. When I have free time I don’t like staying at home. I enjoy visiting different interesting places and learn new things about history, art, science or whatever. Excursions are popular cause they are more convenient and pleasant way of getting information. A qualified guide can tell you lots of amazing things you would never find out on your own.

Speaker B. I’m not an art lover and I prefer picnics to museums and excursions. However on Saturday we had a very nice trip to a nearby town. I didn’t know there are so many historical buildings. We went there by bus and on the way the guide gave us some amazing facts and legends about the town. Then we visited the central historical museum. 
Speaker C. when our teacher announces us some excursions or museums I try to escape it. I don’t like museums. Probably because my mum is a tour guide. When I was little she took me to museums a lot. I was too little for the fine art or historical artifacts. I wanted to play, not to admire the exhibits. And I was afraid of the museum keepers that always hushed me. 
Speaker D. this museum was opened only 2 years ago. Our students and teachers find it very amusing. It’s a museum of mistakes. We collect the funny mistakes that our students do in their essays. Usually teachers or students themselves brings us the pages and ask us to display them. Most of the exhibits are anonymous but some of the authors want their names to be written beside their mistake. 
Speaker E. I enjoy visiting different museums but the problem is that there is no museums in our little town. I’m not the only person who lives in a new place. I suggest we arrange a global internet base museum. All the existence museums would make virtual expositions and everyone should have access to whatever museum they want to and can order the virtual excursions for themselves.

 Speaker A. I like family celebrations, when several generations gather around the table and talk and exchange news. My grandmother and I usually make a large apple pie. Everyone in the family loves it. It’s a traditional recipe. To make the apples taste fresh and stay crispy we add some lemon juice with sugar and vanilla. It’s also important to take the pie out of the iron in time. 
Speaker B. it was warm and sunny last weekend and we were glad to spend a couple of days outdoors. We went to a bus trip in a nearby town famous for its parks and a large fruit garden. The garden looks fantastic and most of the apple trees are in blossom. In a café we enjoyed some fruit tea with the delicious apple pie.
Speaker C. I used to do swimming and cycling but now I’ve got new interests in life. I start drawing. I go to the art school and I like it very much. Today we drew a still life. There are different things like fruits, flowers and other house art objects. We drew a vase with apples. I never thought it could be so difficult to make the apples look realistic on the picture. 
Speaker D. my mom always says that the food we eat should be not only tasty but good for our bodies too. That’s why she includes lot’s of fruits and vegetables in our menu. She prefers local season fruits to exotic ones. And believes that there is nothing better than green apples from our garden. An apple a day keeps a doctor away, she says. And I think she is right.
Speaker E. when I was little I spent lots of time in my granny’s. she and her neighbour had large gardens which makes the village look fantastic. I wanted to be a gardener to take care of flowers, cherry and apple trees as I enjoyed it very much. I also wanted to grew some more beautiful flower and give it my grannies name – Nancy. But that never came true. I work as a sales manager in a telephone company now.

4. The speaker says that languages are important for his/her future career.

5. The speaker approves of working students.

6. The speaker describes how the career centre for teenagers works.

Speaker A. My cousin worked as a tour guide and once she was going to show a group of Japanese students around the city. She usually delivers excursions in English but that time she asked me to go with her as I know some basic Japanese phrases. I enjoyed helping her very much and the next day I decided to take a training course for tourist guides. I've been working as a guide for a year already and I love it!
Speaker В. Many young people nowadays want to start working early, while they are still at college. I think that's good as early careers give them work experience and they can find better jobs after graduation. It's certainly difficult to learn and work at the same time but, surprisingly, young people who work usually achieve better academic results than their non-working classmates.
Speaker С. I started to learn Spanish recently and I'm planning to take up Italian too. The thing is that I want to find a job in the tourist business. Working in that sector means that I'll have to communicate with people from different countries and the more languages I know — the more opportunities I'll have. At the moment I can speak English — it's my native language — and I'm pretty fluent in French.
Speaker D. A career choice is one of the most difficult decisions teenagers have to make. It was difficult for me too but fortunately I found a place where I got friendly and professional help in choosing a future job. First, I filled in a questionnaire online. Then I was interviewed by teachers and psychologists. They selected the most appropriate lines of business for me, which were medicine and engineering, and arranged for me to visit a hospital and a chemical engineering company!
Speaker E. My parents wanted me to become an accountant like them. I didn't know much about the profession but applied to the Economy Faculty. Then I got a job with a financial company. Soon I understood that the job was definitely not for me — I make mistakes, have difficulty in working with financial computer programs and ... I simply don't like it! I want to make a new career start but I'm afraid of making another mistake.

Speaker A. I enjoy reading but I don't usually have much time for it because there's lots of homework to do. Yesterday I borrowed a book from our school library. I wanted to read it for a while before going to sleep. But the book was really interesting, I got involved and put it aside only when I had read it up to the very end. In the morning, I wasn't able to get up on time so I missed the school bus and got to school thirty minutes after the bell had gone.
Speaker В. I like reading, especially historical novels. That's why I know more than most of my classmates. Our teacher often asks me to give presentations to the whole class. I may spend hours in the library or searching the Internet for information on some historical event or some historical personality. Some of my friends think that it's boring but it's incredibly interesting. I'm considering taking History as my major at university.
Speaker С. Our class is very united and we often help each other in school and in life. Yes, I'm very lucky that the people around me are friendly and supportive and there's no bullying or fighting in class. My friends have different interests but they all are very nice people. There are those who like science, those who like sports and those who like arts but everyone enjoys school parties and school trips.
Speaker D. It was shocking news when my parents told me about their decision to move to another city. I was completely against it. I didn't want to leave my school — I had so many friends there! I'd just joined the school volleyball team, the best team in the area! But there was no choice — my parents had to move because of their jobs. They have good jobs but we have to move too often.
Speaker E. I have lots of friends and most of them are my classmates. We often do homework, work in a library or do sports together. Our school is a good place for doing sports — we have a gym, a football pitch, a swimming pool and even a tennis court. The swimming pool is not very large but it's enough for practicing different swimming strokes and for water aerobics classes. I wish we had a little skate park, too!
