Exercise 53. Listen to Alice and Nikita. Fill in the table.
Alice, could you tell me a few things about your school? Do you and Jim study in the same school?
Yes, we study at a secondary school in London.
When does the school year start?
We go to school every day except weekends, national holidays, and school holidays. We study from September until July. And then we have the summer holidays.
How much holiday do you have?
We study for three terms. The summer holidays last for about six weeks. We have a two-week holiday at both Christmas and at Easter. In the middle of each term we also have a half term break which lasts for a week.
Not bad. And do you wear a school uniform?
Yes, as the students of most British schools do. Jim wears black trousers, a white shirt, a blue jumper with the school logo on it and black shoes. The girls have the same uniform, but we may also wear skirts.
What subjects do you study at school?
Lots of subjects: English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, IT, History, Geography, French, Art, Drama, Music and P.E. ( )
Oh, thats a lot.
Exercise 58. Listen to Nikitas and Olivias questions and check if you were right. Answer their questions.

Do you have lunch at school?

Jim, lets decide what to do this weekend.
Oh, Mum! I want to stay at home. I had a very hard week: five tests and two football matches. I just want to relax.
I had a hard week, too. But Im afraid that youll watch TV or play computer games for the whole of Saturday and Sunday.
That would be the best weekend I could ever dream of. And I dont want to spend the whole day in a museum or at an exhibition.
What about going to the park? We could have a little picnic.
I dont think its a good idea. It isnt summer, is it? And what if it rains?
Youre right. Lets visit your grandma and grandpa, then.
Not a bad idea. Ive got a new exciting computer game. We can play it together with Grandpa. And then, we can go for a walk along the coast, play football or fly the kite. Will Alice and Dad join us?

Alice said she would like to go with us. But Dad has to do some work. So he is going to work all weekend.
Its a pity. But you need to phone Grandma and ask about their plans for the weekend.
I have already asked them. Theyll be happy to see us.
That sounds great.
