Reading
9 Read the text.

Dear cousins,

I'm here in England on a three-month exchange visit. It doesn't snow much in winter, so I don't have to wear
lots of clothes like at home. The school is always quite warm because there's central heating. There are three
floors, so I often get lost and have to ask for directions! DT is on the ground floor, for example, but biology
is on the top floor – that's a lot of stairs! One good thing is that the doors on each floor have a different
colour, so it's easy to remember: blue, red and green.

The school subjects here aren't the same as at home. In history classes, we learn about English history, not
European history, so I'm not very keen on that. We don't have to do economics this month because the
teacher's sick (I can't stand economics!). But the science labs are brilliant! We can do lots of experiments,
and the teachers are fun.

Life outside the school is a big change! I have to be careful in the streets because cars all drive on the left.
There's a good bus service between the town and the school, so I don't have to walk much. And the family
I'm living with are very friendly. They have a son and a daughter about the same age as me, so we
sometimes go out together.

But there's still a lot that I don't understand! I have to do a lot of homework, so I don't watch much TV. And
the food – what can I say about the food? They eat everything out of cans and packets, so I really miss my
Mum's cooking!

Write back soon!
