Thekitchen clock said 8:30-I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone towork without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00. I had missed it.
I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.
“Tell the teacher I’ll be in assoon as I can!” I said. “Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said. “It will be faster than the bus.”
I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbedan apple to eat on the way. That was breakfast today! Then I put on myrollerblades and set off for school.It took half an hour to get to the school. I went across the park—even throughsome backyards! When I got to school, I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed maths, our

Hi Ben,
How was your week? Today we started drama.Our drama teacher, Miss Smith, was sick in the first week. All we did was lookaround the Drama Building and talk about the work forthis semester. So today was ourfirst real class. Monday is dramaday. We only have drama once a week,and music once a week. But we have each of them for two lessons together. Mostlessons are only an hour. But when we get back from lunch at half past one , wehave drama all afternoon!
I like drama. It is my favoritesubject. At Senior High we have a proper theatre to perform in. Today we started to work on a play we will perform in.Today we started to work on a play we will perform at Thanksgiving. We talked about the story and we tried acting outdifferent parts. Miss Smith walked around watching us and helping us. I hopeshe gives me a big part! I am reading the play again and thinking about it alot. I want to get the part of the stupid policeman! I like parts where I canmake people laugh. My dream is to act in the Globe Theatre in London. Do you enjoy drama at you school?Will you be performing in any play for Christmas?

初一上英语悦读联播24 SCIENCE RULES!
Hi Eric,
We do drama at our school, but I don’t like it. I don’t like being onthe stage and everyone looking atme! I can’t sing or dance. I can’t learn a part quickly. So I don’t like drama. I think it is good that we onlyhave one drama lesson a week. I expect you wish that you had more dramalessons!
My favorite subject is science. I really enjoy doing experiments. Wehave science five times a week. We have biologyon Monday morning at 9 o’clock. It lastsfor an hour. We are studying the human body. We have chemistry for two lessons together on Wednesday, in the afternoon.We are studying the chemistry of the Earth. Then from 9 o’clock until 11 o’clockon Thursday we have a physicslesson. We are studying electricity.Our school teaches us biology, chemistry and physics as three
differentsubjects and we have three examinations. Lots of schools now teach all thesubjects together as ‘science’ and have just one examination. You still learnmostly the same things. I think you probably don’t like science. Lots of myfriends who like science subjects don’t like subjects such as English anddrama. Most of my friends who like English and drama don’t like science ormaths! Ben
