1 Hi, I’m John. I study French at school — ifs difficult for me because I’m not very good at languages! Our teacher’s name is Mrs Brindley. She isn’t from France, but her French is very good. We’ve got French on Mondays and Thursdays.
Ifs good on Mondays because ifs a conversation class. But Thursdays are boring because ifs grammar!
2 Hi, I’m Anna. I’m from London, but my parents are from Russia, I’m bilingual — English and Russian. I speak English with my friends and Russian with my family at home. Then at school I study Spanish. I like languages! Speaking Russian is easy for me, but writing is more difficult. I’m not very good at that!
3 Hello, I’m Kim. I’m in Spain now, but originally I’m from Beijing, in China. On Saturdays I go to a Chinese calligraphy class, here in Madrid. Ifs a small class — only six students — and our teacher is very nice. He’s old, but he’s very patient -calligraphy is very difficult! Beijing is far from Madrid, but I’m happy here now. People in Spain are very nice, and I’m happy at school.
4 Hi, I’m Carlos. I learn English at school, and at an English academy on Saturday mornings. At the English academy, the teacher’s nice and the classes are interesting. Sometimes, we listen to English songs. Every August, I practise my English in the USA. My parents’ friends are American. Their house is near New York – ifs fantastic!
