Read the text AN UNUSUAL SCHOOL
Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, USA, is an unusual school. Do you hate maths? At Sudbury, if students hate maths, they don’t study it. They go to another class, such as history or science! Students at the school can study a lot of different subjects, like science, history, geography and art. Students can choose to do homework, but some prefer not to do any! If students don’t want to go to any classes, it isn’t a problem. There are lots of other activities at Sudbury. For example, some students go to drama practice. Some students play instruments, and some go to the ICT room. In that room, they can check emails or play games. They can even make their own lunch in the canteen. Pizza and pasta are the favourite meals. Some students prefer healthy salads! Students can’t leave the school, but they can walk or play sports in the school garden. There is always something to do!
There are a few rules at Sudbury. Students can’t do anything dangerous, and they can’t stay at home every day! But students are usually very happy at Sudbury. It’s a popular school!

1. Now, everyone knows this song, so I want you all to join in with me!
2. Could you ask them to turn the music down?
3. There was a fight during the match and the referee sent two
players off.
4. We eat out about once a week and we cook at home the rest of the time.
5. I love this song! Turn it up!
6. I used to play the trumpet, but I gave up last year because
I didn't have time.
7. We stopped playing because of the rain, but when it stopped we carried on.
8. A good way of getting more exercise is to take up a sport,
like basketball.
Thanks for your letter. You've written about a very serious problem.
In your letter you ask me about my friends and my parents' attitude towards them. I've got a lot of friends. Some of them are interested in rock music. My parents don't understand it but they never show their negative attitude. Of course, I'm sure that my parents' opinion is very important because they have got more experience. However, if my parents don't like my friends, I try to explain them my opinion and we discuss the situation. Sometimes they are right!
Sorry, I have to do my homework. Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Kaitlyn
