Dear Alex,
How are things with you? My new school is
fantastic. As you know, it’s a special sports
school and I’m having a great time here. I
love it! We start at 8 o’clock, so I usually get
up at 6.30! In the morning we have normal
classes and in the afternoon we do different
sports. The school has got three big gyms and
there are two swimming pools, a lot of tennis
courts and a sports centre with special areas
for football and other sports. I can play
volleyball and I’m good at hockey. I’m
learning basketball, karate and tennis. There’s
an important tennis competion in April so
we’re preparing for that. I’m also in the
swimming club and we have practice before
school. I can swim 2 kilometres now, but I
can’t run 10 kilometres. My teacher says I
must train more, but I haven’t got any free
time!
What about you? Are you in the school
football team this year?
Write soon,
Love
Helen

My favourite film is
A.I. (ArtificialIntelligence).
In the film an inventor created an incredible boy robot, David. David
is different from other robots becausehe can love. He lived with some
human parents because their son was in hospital in a coma. Soon he
didn’t want to be a robotany more becausehe loved his mother. Then
the son recovered from the coma. When the son was home again he
was cruel because he didn’t like his robot brother. The family
abandoned David, but he travelled all over America and looked for the
Blue Fairy for many years. The Blue Fairy helped him. In the end he
discovered that his mother really loved him. He didn’tbecomehuman,
but he was happy.
The story and the special effects were fantastic and the main actor,
Haley Joel Osment, was excellent. I really enjoyed this film.
