Three teenagers talking about their holiday

A.  Andrew

Today our teacher asked us where we are going on holiday and what we are taking with us. I’m going to the beach with both my parents. I don’t need my passport. It will be very hot, so I am taking my swimming costume and a big towel but not an umbrella. I like my blue towel, it’s my favourite colour. My friend told me to take my camera because you can sometimes see dolphins. I will also take my seater as it sometimes gets cold at night.

B.  Peter

My teacher asked me about my holiday. I’m going to a house in the mountains with my uncle and aunt. It will be very cold all the time, so I will take my favourite blue scarf and gloves. My aunt said there will be a lot of snow. We are going there because my uncle likes snowboarding. I am excited because I will go on a helicopter again. We are going to the top of the mountain. I must take my trainers and a good hat!

C.  Ben

I told our teacher that I’m going on holiday to the forests in Germany with my father and my brother. This will be the first time I go on an airplane. We will go to the airport two hours before the flight. My mum says it rains a lot in the area we are going to. So, I’ll take my blue raincoat which has a picture of a dolphin on it and possibly an umbrella. I will also take my yellow boots and, of course, my passport.

Alice’s husband, Jack, is an electrician. They met while he was working at a theatre where she was dancing and got married soon after. “When Demi started dancing, the house was too small for her and Alice to practise in so I made the garage into a dance studio. Now the living room is nice and quiet when I’m watching televison” he says.

Last month, Demi was invited to dance in the ballet Swan Lake. Of course, Alice and Hannah were in the audience and even Jack was there, which made it very special for Demi. Jack says, “I’m not that interested in ballet myself but it’s fantastic seeing Demi taking her first steps with Alice’s old company!” Demi was wearing a dress that Hannah made for Alice many years before.

“It was very exciting for all of us,” says Hannah. “Demi’s way of dancing is very like Alice’s. I know I’m her grandmother, but I think she has a great future!”
