THE MOST IMPORTANT SCHOOL SUBJECTS
OSKAR
I think that we study more subjects now than in the past.I quite like having a lot of subjects at school,though,and I enjoy learning most of them.In my opinion,the most useful ones are those which help you to find a job.Of course, subjects like information technology and science are important to prepare you for today's world,but you also need to know English well to talk and listen to people around you.
MARY
I love subjects that teach me about the world around me, like science and geography.I also think that we should learn about the past.History can help us to understand the world today and perhaps to find answers to modern problems. However,there are some subjects I don't think we should learn at school. Greek and Latin can be interesting,but I think that you should study them at university because they are difficult and many students my age find them boring.
FREEDA
Most people don't like classical languages and think Greek and Latin are not as important as information technology or maths.I think they can do a lot to help you in today's world, though.You need to use your brain to learn them and in today's world that's important if you want to find a good job. Of course,subjects like information technology and maths are useful too,but I don't think they are as important as languages.

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!

PHOTO CONTEST

TANYA
Last November my parents gave me a camera for my birthday. I started taking photos of flowers,butterflies and cats and used some of them for a school project with the art teacher.When she saw them,she told me I should take part in the school photo contest,because this year's theme was 'Creatures'.I couldn't believe it when I found out my photo was chosen as the best of all!

GABRIEL
I often use my mobile to take photos when I see a beautiful landscape.My favourite subjects are sunsets,especially at sea.Last summer I took a photo of the sun going down when I was on holiday in Spain.It looked as if it was actually diving into the water!I decided to enter the school photo contest because all my friends loved it and said its colours were amazing.I didn't win any prize but the judges told me it was a lovely picture.

ALEXANDER
My uncle is a magazine photographer and I'm his greatest fan. A few years ago he gave me an old camera he didn't need any more.I had to learn how to turn film into photographs.It's not like printing them out as it takes a long time and you need a dark room and special equipment.Anyway,my father said I should enter the school photo contest with a picture I took of a spider web on a wet day.I'm glad I did,because I got the second prize!

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!
