As you know, Iʼm from a very small town in France, but I have a lot of friends and we do lots of things together Recently, three of us went to Paris on a day trip We all love shopping, so we spent quite a lot of money! As well as that, we went to see a new horror film in the afternoon I love films, donʼt you?

My best mate is a girl called Janine Weʼve been friends for ten years – since we started first school together Sheʼs really kind and considerate and much cleverer than I am! Weʼve got a lot of interests in common – like swimming and tennis

We also like the same music and film stars

I have quite a small family Thereʼs just my mum and dad and me and a younger brother called Michel

We usually go on holiday once or twice a year and last month we spent a week in Norway It was a bit cold, but very beautiful and we had a great time Write soon!

They were all very tired Stella was asleep on the back seat and Max could hear her snoring! He was watching the countryside go past, although he couldnʼt see much because it was getting foggy It was nice to be back in his own country, but he wasnʼt looking forward to going back to school the next day

Suddenly, Max saw something big and dark coming out of the fog, just ahead of them ʻDad!ʼ

he shouted The car screamed to a stop Luckily, they were all wearing seat belts

ʻWhat was that?ʼ asked Stella They all got out of the car and there, running along the side of the road, was a group of wild deer There were three or four big ones and several smaller ones that were probably babies

Max thought about the deer all the way home He had never seen wild deer before They were so beautiful ʻWhat an amazing day!ʼ Max whispered to himself as he got into bed that night

number when the sharks disappeared and ate more fish, so there were a lot fewer fish!

Giving a reaction: Iʼve never thought about that

before./Thatʼs a really tricky question

Giving an opinion: I believe that …

Giving an example: If you look at …/For

instance, …

Asking for an opinion: How do you feel about …?

Agreeing: Iʼm with you on that./That is very true./

Youʼre totally right

Partially agreeing: I agree up to a point

The student has covered all the points in the list of

questions apart from the word limit (the essay is

Introducing a point: First of all, … , In conclusion …

, To begin with, … , We mustnʼt forget that …

Adding: Another interesting thing is … , As well as

this, … , In addition to this, …

Contrasting: On the other hand, … However, …

Referring to other peopleʼs opinions: Not

everyone thinks that … , Some people think that

… , Experts say that …

Firstly, students who donʼt enjoy the subjects will not concentrate and this can affect the whole class Surely, it is much better to allow them to choose different subjects that interest them more?

By fourteen, students have learned the basic, important things about science that they need to know

Secondly, there are so many subjects on the school curriculum today that itʼs difficult to fit them all in Some people say that students need to have more time for sport, whereas others say they should study more languages If we make science subjects optional for students over fourteen, there will be more time for other subjects

In conclusion, I must say that allowing students to give up science after fourteen makes sense

However, I donʼt think that the school authorities will agree with me!

childhood?
