YOUR LAST HOLIDAY
LILLY
Last April,I went on a six-day scout camp near our city. I don't like sleeping in tents,so I didn't really want to go at first but my mum insisted.Fifteen other girls went on the trip and we were divided into four groups.My group's tent was quite big and we had a lot of fun chatting (all night).In the daytime we did projects in the forest and we walked a lot.I want to go again next year!
MARK
My parents took me and my brother to Paris on holiday for a long weekend last July.It was my first time in a plane,so I was quite excited.We stayed in a hotel and visited a lot of monuments.The food was great and we ate in restaurants every day,but of course the thing that we enjoyed most was a trip to Disneyland.That was so cool!
TOM
I spent a week in Corsica at Easter last year.My Dad is from Corsica so we go there quite often.This time I went with two of my cousins and we stayed at my grandparents' house near the beach.My friends had a great time,but I found it very tiring because they wanted me to translate for them all the
time!

YOUNG MUSICIANS
FRED
My parents play in a band so there is always music in our house. I started playing the piano when I was six after I heard a very young girl play at a concert. She was just five years old but she was as good as an adult professional pianist. My first concert was at the age of nine. I'll never forget how scared I was. But once I was at the piano, I relaxed and just thought about the music.
OLGA
My parents are both doctors, but they really enjoy listening to music. My mother played the piano when she was young,so she asked me if I wanted to learn to play something. I chose the violin but it isn't easy. Sometimes I get angry when I can't play the right way. I don't know if I'll keep playing it. I also play tennis three times a week and it's a bit tiring doing everything, so I guess I'll have to choose.
BRIAN
I've always loved music since I was a little child. My father told me I started dancing as soon as I heard classical music on the radio. That's why when I was four I started piano lessons. However,my teacher wasn't very friendly. I sometimes got bored with the exercises he gave me, so a year later I asked my parents if I could have singing lessons instead. I really enjoy singing.I oftensing with my brother, who plays the guitar.It's so exciting!

NEW SPORTS
JOE
I'vestarted doing a climbing course at weekends.I heard about it from my cousin.He's a really sporty person and he loves climbing.I had my first lesson yesterday and it was great.The course is every Tuesday and Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m.and I'm really enjoying it.We climb on a special wall in the sports centre,but the instructor says that in the summer he'll take us to a park near here where there are some very high rocks.
KELLY
My new sport is really a very old one.I'm doing a yoga course after school twice a week and,after four lessons,I'm already feeling better.We've got important exams this year and I'm feeling a bit anxious, but the yoga helps me to relax.My English teacher told me about the lessons and my best friend is doing it with me.It's more difficult than l expected,but I quite like it.
SARAH
My sister,Annie,took me with her to her weekly horse-riding class last week and I think I'm going to start lessons.I'm a bit scared of horses really,but Annie says they're fine.I really need to do a sport because I'm not very fit at the moment. I was quiteill recently and I had to spend a lot of time in bed,so I want to start doing something active again.I hope I'llike it!

FREE TIME &HOBBIES
FUMIKO
I have to study really hard for school.That means I haven't got much free time for hobbies.When I can,I enjoy reading manga comics.I also love singing and I listen to music on my way to school.I only watch TV when there are interesting programmes on.I think sport is also very important if you want to be healthy,so I also play tennis once a week.At weekends, I sometimes invite my friends to my home or I go to theirs.We really like making cakes together.
ANTON
I like doing a few things in my free time.I don't think my hobbies are that different from the ones other boys or girls have,though.I don't mind chatting online,but I prefer watching TV series.I don't often read, because it's boring. I love watching football on TV,but I don't do much sport at the moment.I think I might start swimming again.My mum says young people should do exercise to keep fit.
GARY
In my free time,I like doing things that nobody else my age does.I love food,so I spend most weekends cooking with my grandmother.I also like walking in the countryside by myself and taking photos.I don't have a smartphone,so I can only call my friends.I think most TV is awful,so I never watch it. In my opinion,there are better ways to spend your free time!
