Starting Up » 6

Fill in the words from the box and tell about the pupils below. Linda: Our English lessons are always such fun! There’s a great atmosphere in the classroom. I sit next to my best friend Karen. Both my parents speak English well, so they help me with my homework when I’ve got problems with it. I actually think English is my favourite subject. Paul: I try to read lots of books and newspapers in English to help me with my studies of English. To know English well I have to do a lot of the work myself. But I’m quite good at studying and I like English, so that’s okay. My dream is to become an international football star, so my English has to be quite good! Mary: I had a great summer holiday. But I’m happy to go back to school now. I want to see my friends and teachers again. I go to a language school. I’m in the 8th form now, so we’re starting a new year and beginning to prepare for the exam at the end. I hope I’ll be able to pass it very well!
