 Back to school

Read, translate the text and do the tasks.

Daniel

I quite like going back to school in September as I'm usually bored by the end of the holidays. We live in a tiny village and my friends from school all live a few miles away - sometimes 1 cycle over to see them and sometimes my mum gives me a lift in  the car, but there are still three or four days a week during the holidays when I've got no one to hang out with.

Another good thing about going back this year is that I've chosen the subjects I'm going to study for GCSE and from now on I won't have to do some of the subjects I didn't like, such as chemistry.

Going back to work in September will be good. I feel I've had a good break and am looking forward to seeing the kids again. My friends with office jobs are very envious of my holidays - they get about five weeks off a year while teachers, of course, get about three times that.

I teach Year Two: six and seven year-olds, which is a really nice age. They're sweet  kids.

I don't like the end of the summer holidays. You have six weeks of freedom and then it's back to boring homework,  teachers and having to get up at seven in the morning. I can't even sit next to my mates in class - the teachers separate us because they say we mess around too much.

The only good thing is the school sport, because I miss playing football during the summer.

It's difficult to believe how quickly the summers go by. When I was a kid the six-week holidays seemed like forever-when school finished in July you never thought about September because it seemed too far away.

It's not like that now. As a head teacher I obviously have a lot of school issues to think about before September arrives - I can't just switch off for six weeks.
