TRUE STORIES
ast month, we asked you for mistakes you made at school or work and what
Our school is very good at organising after-school
activities. Last year I went to two clubs, the music club
and the drama club. It was my first year in the music
club, which I had for an hour on Mondays and
Wednesdays, and my second year in the drama club.
which was an hour and a half on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. It didn't matter because there
wasn't much school work to do.
In October, they told us about the end of year school
play. I was very excited when I found out that
I was going to play one of the most important parts.
Then, in November, the music teacher asked me to
play the piano in the end of year concert. I was
surprised because my piano playing isn't very good. He
wanted everyone to be in it, though, good and bad.
Everything was fine before Christmas because I did
a lot of school work at the weekend." Then, in
January, I went to a friend's birthday party and met
a girl called Heather. We started talking and I asked
her out. After that, I didn't have any free Fridays or
Saturdays because I was with Heather. I was still OK.
though, I stopped watching TV and only switched on
my computer once a week.
That was my life until April but then everything
started happening at once. The drama teacher wanted
me to come to an extra practice on Fridays, the music
teacher gave me lots of tunes to practise at home over
the weekend and Heather wanted to meet up for
walks on Sundays because the weather was getting
nicer. In addition, our teachers started talking more
and more about the end of year exams. We got more
homework and tests every week to see how much we
could remember. I usually have a good memory but
I was trying to memorise my words in the play as
well. My test marks were really bad and my parents
were worried so they told me I should stop seeing
Heather for a while.
In the end, Heather left me, I failed my exams and
the music teacher said that I wasn't good enough to
be in the concert. The play went well, though.
although I nearly fell asleep in the middle of it.
Not to try to do so many things at one
time!
