1- Huda 25 October 7.42 p.m. A few weeks ago, I started a volunteer project at a nursery school. The teacher took her chair and went to the back of the room. I was really nervous to read to the children, but they were great. They paid attention, they didn’t shout and they put their hands up to ask questions. After a while I asked them to draw a picture and I sat down. The children were amazing! قبل بضعة أسابيع، بدأت مشروع تطوعي في حضانة أطفال. أخذت المعلمة كرسيها وذهبت إلى الجزء الخلفي من الغرفة. لقد كنت متوترة جداً عندما قرأت للأطفال، لكن كانوا رائعين. لقد انتبهوا ولم يصرخوا و لقد رفعوا أيديهم لطرح الأسئلة. بعد فترة طلبت منهم رسم صورة وجلست. الأطفال كانوا رائعين Fadia 25 October 7.55 p.m. |

Nour 25 October 8.15 p.m. We did some projects in class last month. The teacher told us that the posters were fantastic and asked for a volunteer to put them up on the wall. I offered, and I took some drawing pins and stood on my chair. Everything was fi ne and then I accidentally stuck a drawing pin into my fingertip. I let out a yelp! أعددنا بعض المشاريع في الصف الشهر الماضي فأخبرتنا المعلمة ان الملصقات رائعة وطلبت متطوعا ليضعها على الحائط. انا عرضت وأخذت بعض دبابيس الرسم ووقفت على كرسيي. كل شيء كان بخير ثم غرزت عن طريق الخطأ دبوس رسم في إصبعي لقد صرخت! Huda 25 October 8.33 p.m. Were you OK? هل انت بخير؟ Nour 25 October 8.36 p.m. Yes, I was. My finger was really sore, but luckily there was no blood! نعم كنت. كان إصبعي يؤلمني بشدة، لكن لحسن الحظ لم يكن هناك دم! |

Samia 25 October 8.44 p.m. Yesterday my last class was in the laboratory on the third floor. I started to answer the questions on the worksheet but then I saw a fly on the window. I picked up a textbook and tried to hit the fly. I missed it but I hit the window. Just then the head teacher walked into the room. البارحة فصلي الأخير كان في المختبر في الطابق الثالث بدأت في الإجابة على الأسئلة الموجودة في ورقة العمل ولكن بعد ذلك رأيت ذبابة على النافذة. التقطت كتابًا مدرسيًا وحاولت ضرب الذبابة. لقد فاتني ذلك ولكني ضربت النافذة. عندها فقط دخل مدير المدرسة إلى الغرفة. Fadia 25 October 8.52 p.m. What did he say? ماذا قال؟ Samia 25 October 8.58 p.m. He didn’t say anything but he wasn’t very happy. لم يقل أي شيء لكنه لم يكن سعيداً جداً |

| have learn listen move not be not have not wear sit stay take work wear |
| Last year, I 1 moved to England with my family. Now I go to school here and things are a little different to school in my country. In my old school, I 2 didn’t wear a uniform. We all 3 wore our own clothes – jeans, trainers and sweatshirts. I like my new uniform though – I guess that’s because it’s something new for me. I 4 worked very hard at my old school. I 5 had about four hours of homework every day and I often 6 stayed at home on Saturdays and Sundays to study too. We 7 didn’t have modern classrooms. There 8 weren’t any laptops or computers. We 9 sat behind desks, 10 listened to the teacher and 11 took notes. In England we do more project work and group work. So, it’s easy here and interesting but I think I 12 learnt more in my country. |
