Read the text very carefully.
Hello! My name is Linda and I am 13-years-
old English girl from Manchester. I’m a student at
Kingston Lane Comprehensive School. My favorite
subjects are maths and foreign languages,
especially Spanish. I’m not very good at history
and geography.
I’ve got a twin brother, Ben. My dad works at
the Town Council. He’s a civil servant. My mother is
a primary school teacher. They are all very
important to me.
I’m not very keen on sports. I sometimes go
cycling with my brother and friends when the
weather is good. I never watch sports on TV, but
my dad and Ben always do.
I’ve got some friends at school. We usually
meet on Saturdays and go to the disco.
Sometimes we go to the cinema.
