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!

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 atsea.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 contestbecause all my friends loved it and said its colours wereamazing.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 Ishould 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!

HOLIDAYS
ARIEL
I love going to my grandmother's country house by the lake.I usually go on holiday in June as soon as the school summer holiday starts.I can do so many interesting things there,such as walking or cycling near the lake.I usually stay with my grandmother for two months,because my parents both work in summer.I also like staying there because it's cooler than in town.And nobody can cook as well as my grandma!
CLIVE
My family and I go away twice a year:once in summer and then in winter.We usually spend a week in a foreign city in July or August.It's fun and you can learn a lot of interesting things, but I get a bit tired sometimes.In winter we often go to the mountains because my father and I love skiing,but sometimes we have a beach holiday abroad.Last year,for example,we went to Mexico.
VICKY
This year I'm going to the south of France with my aunt and cousins.I enjoy holidays where you can learn something useful.I'm learning French at school,so I hope to practise it there.Last yearI was on a farm in Ireland.I had to help the farmer with the animals,which was fun.In return I could ride a horse every time I wanted to.I love horse riding and the natural world.

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!

MEALS AROUND THE WORLD

I'm from China and food is really important in my country. I like to have fried eggs for breakfast.My parents usually eat vegetables and rice,too.When I'm at school I have a light snack with some fruit or fish.My family and I often eat lunch and dinner in restaurants because food isn't expensive here.We order several dishes and then we all try a bit of the different dishes.
CHARLOTTE
French cooking is famous all over the world.When my English cousins come in summer,they always want to eat cheese. They say it's better than any other food,but I don't agree with them.In France,we usually have a main course at lunch and dinner with some vegetables or soup.I don't really enjoy eating soup or vegetables,but my parents say they're healthy, so I have them once a week.
LUCREZIA
I have pasta every day like most Italians.However,there are many other delicious dishes with meat,vegetables and cheese that I also enjoy eating.For breakfast,I have a cup of tea with bread,butter and jam.Then later in the morning I might have a few biscuits as a snack.My grandfather always makes my meals.At dinner,I often have fish or some cheese and vegetables,but my favourite is my grandad's pizza.
