Dear cousins,
Trang 5to 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!

Interviewer Dr Watson! Just how important is sport for teenagers?
Dr Watson 1 _ It's no good just spending two or three hours a day playing video
games You can't be fit and healthy if you hardly ever do exercise Three or four hours a week is OK Different sports exercise different parts of the body For example, swimming is excellent for your arms and shoulders 2 _ Then, there are team sports, where you need to use special skills to play well Team sports can also help you work more easily with other people – and this is important when you want a job
Interviewer 3 _
Dr Watson These are not a very good idea, because they can be quite dangerous You need special
protection like a helmet for your head, pads for your knees and elbows It's always a good idea to work with a trainer, who can help when you have problems
Interviewer 4 _
Dr Watson Things like board games or bowling can also be very good for you They don't give you
much physical exercise, of course, but they are important mental exercise And they are often good fun too 5 _ Oh, and finally, I would also recommend listening to or playing music It's important to work with both mind and body, and music can do that very well!
Trang 7A Cycling, on the other hand, is good for your legs and knees.
B What about other activities?
C Well, all young people need physical exercise

breakfast' with a local family or in one of the small island hotels In the long summer evenings, people meet and talk together They tell stories of where they live and what they do
The children on the islands go to small local schools They have their classes in English and Gaelic Sometimes there are only eight or ten children in one school! When they are twelve, they go to secondary school in a bigger town on the island When they finish that school, they decide whether
