MEALS AROUND THE WORLD
YI YING
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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
